~Bella's Point of View~

I glanced over to the clock, ticking tortuously slow on the wall in front of me.

Just five more minutes.

Just stay strong.

"Bella, now you are to be home before twelve, is that clear," Billy spoke from the couch, watching me with his father-like sternness.

I gave him a rueful smile.

"Of course, the movie ends at ten, so I should be home around eleven, I promise,"

"I still think you should drive with Jake to the movies,"

I looked away from him at that, clenching my jaw.

"Yeah Bella, I mean… I could drive you…" Jacob's voice sounded from the bottom of the stairs.

Slowly I casted a side-ways glance to Jacob, taking in his overly hopeful look.

He was so glad, that Billy had talked me out of ignoring him, and pushing him aside, like I had wanted to.

I remembered the time I had gone home that night, to Billy, and Jacob almost in tears.

I couldn't take the sight of my father so upset, over a choice I had made. And I understood I was being a bit selfish, but that's what made me human, people are selfish, if I wasn't I would be considered a robot. But the point is, I have to live with my brother, and love him… and accept him for who he is, and who he decides to fall in love with.

"No thanks, isn't your little girlfriend gonna want to be with you tonight," I said hiding the degree of annoyance in my tone.

Jacob's eyes fell to the floor, and he breathed in a big breath, his hands shaking slightly.

"I told you… she doesn't even know I exist,"

"What a shame,"

"Bella," Billy said with a disappointed look at me.

I held my hands up sighing, but as a knock at the door sounded, my heart began to race.

He was here.

Quickly I went to the door, opening it up fast, to be greeted to Paul's beautiful dark brown eyes gazing down at me.

"Hey," I hugged him overjoyed.

He chuckled, his big strong arms coming around me, holding me to him firmly. His lips, as soft as silk pressed to my lips with a smoothness that left me breathless.

But as a cleared throat got my attention, I realized where I was, and quickly let go of Paul, turning to give a sheepish look to Billy.

"Ehh, I'll have her back before twelve," Paul smirked, and wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

I held back a giggle at that, throwing a grin at Billy.

"Oh, I know you will, you kids have fun now,"

"We will, bye dad,"

And with that Paul lead me out of the house, and out to his old, beat-down truck.

Slowly he opened the passenger side door for me to get in, and winked at me as I slid in.

"Buckle up babe," He snickered, and made his way across the front of the truck, and into the driver's seat.

I did as he said, pulling the seatbelt around me, smiling as he began to back out of the driveway.

"So what movie are we going to see?"

Paul and I have been together for about a week now, and this would finally be our first date, I was a bit eager for more detail, but he wouldn't tell me anything.

"You'll see sweetheart," Was all he said.

It didn't matter though, I was with the man I loved, and I was happy… Jacob or not, I would be happy without him.

~Jacob's Point of View~

I watched out the window as Paul slowly backed out of my drive-way, and disappeared, peeling out into the road.

I knew Bella would be ok with him, and I also knew that she still loved me, and still wanted me to be there and worry about her… which I did… she had no idea how much I worried about her, but she just didn't understand.

"So Jake, you have any plans tonight yourself?" Billy asked wheeling himself back it in front of the TV.

"Not really, I was just going to go head out, and do some jogging around the perimeter, then head in for bed,"

In other words, wait till Bella was back home safely.

"Alright, well you'll know where I'll be if you need anything,"

I nodded with a grin at him, before walking to the door, and heading out into the darkness.

I wasn't sure where I was going, I just let my senses guide me along, until I was hidden in the forest, were I phased, feeling the need for a good run.

But as I felt my clothes ripping off me, and feeling myself fall down to four legs, I picked up an unfamiliar scent. Uneasy by this new smell, I quickly followed it, cautious that it might be a danger.

I was quiet as I followed a tiny, almost hidden trail down through the woods. I had never taken this path before; I hadn't even known it existed. So when the scent became bewilderingly strong, I paused, sneakily peeking from behind a tree, to see a beautiful white wolf, standing right in the middle of a mess of tree, just laying there, as if it was a nest.

What the heck, I have never seen this wolf before in my life; so this wolf couldn't be part of this pack…

Hello, who are you? I thought out towards the wolf.

I watched as it froze in its place, and look up at me, fear in its dark eyes.

How did you do that, how are you talking to me? The other wolf spoke, now up, and backing away from me.

Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you…just listen. I thought quickly, moving forward.

But before I could say anymore, the wolf turned, and raced away from me.

Don't let her get away Jake! Sam's thoughts rang out to me.

I nodded, and quickly went after the wolf, running as fast as I could.

If this wolf was new, and didn't even know about the communication bond, then we had to get to him or her, and teach them before they end up hurting someone.

I felt Sam now trailing behind me, along with Jared, they both seemed to split up in two different directions, catching up to me fast.

Bella's plans of training really had improved our speed; that was enough of a shock to me.

Just when I swore we had finally got the wolf we all meet up to the front of Amber's house.

The wolf no where in sight.

We lost him… Jared thought in disappointment.

You mean her… her thoughts had a feminine tone to it I thought, turning to look at Sam and Jared.

Great, more lady wolves to worry about. Jared teased.

I gave him an annoyed look at that, my ears laying against my head.

Don't make me tell Bella. I thought with a wolfy grin.

Enough, let's get back to the woods, maybe she is hiding in there. Sam thought, and dashed back into the woods.

We both followed after him, splitting up.

I wasn't sure about who this girl wolf was, but for some reason I badly wanted to find her. Make sure she's ok. She seemed so scared… Don't worry wolf girl, we'll find you.
