I am sooo sorry for not updating in forever…. MY APOLOGIES! I have been so busy with school and the usual drama and then I've been at the barn and I'm usually there. Along with Christmas and over break I was going to update, but my mom signed us up for chores almost every day. Also, my dad hurt his back really bad so we have been taking care of him. Anyway, I love getting those emails that say another person has put me on their favorite story/ author list and all that. It makes me sooo happy!

Chapter 9- Sammie

After I ran off, I could still hear Lilly, Nick and James retelling the story to Quil and Claire, along with the rest of the Pack. Soon, I blocked out everyone from my head, except Sammie and then I called out for her.

Sammie! Where are you sweetie? I asked and I felt her lift her head up from her paws.

Auntie Bells? Is that you? What's going on? I'm so confused! Sammie cried helplessly. I soothed her and then started running. I recognized the place where she was hiding.

Calm down, sweetie, you're a wolf now. You knew this was coming, don't be afraid. I soothed and she started calming down more. I finally reached where she was hiding and then slowly walked up to her. Sammie, I'm going to teach you how to phase back into a human now, okay? I asked and she nodded. Okay, sweetie just think about all your happiest memories as a human with your friends and family and start thinking about being a human and you'll change back. Now, you never know, sometimes it's very difficult to change, or some people can be a natural, okay, so don't get too freaked out if you don't change back right away.

Sammie nodded and then she started concentrating and I saw a whole bunch of memories flit through her head. Suddenly, the memories stopped and I was looking at a perfectly normal, and naked Sammie (A/N remember Sammie is 4 and Bella has been helping to take care of her since she was born). She was shivering and looked around scared. Suddenly I turned and went behind a tree and shifted back to human form. Then I quickly grabbed the clothes around my ankle and put my clothes on. Then I went back to Sammie who looked like she was going to start crying.

"Hey, Sammie, it's okay sweetie. Here are some clothes for you to put on." I gave her the change of clothes and she put them on then hugged me.

"Bella! I was so scared I didn't know what was happening and then I heard Nick and Lilly and James in my head and I freaked out and ran. I'm so sorry!" She cried and I hugged her back gently and shushed her.

"It's okay, baby. It's normal to freak out. Do you want to know what happened when I first phased?" I asked trying to lighten the mood and make her laugh. She nodded eagerly and I bent down to whisper in her ear. "I heard Uncle Jakey in my mind and I started freaking out so bad that when he tried to calm me down I tackled him and got a couple swipes to his face." My plan worked and Sammie laughed.

Then I told her to wait there and when I came back in wolf form to climb on my back and hold on so I could take her home. After she nodded I walked back behind the tree, tied my clothes around my ankle, and phased. All at once I heard the entire pack enter my mind. The loudest was Quil.

Did you find my baby girl, Bella? He demanded.

Yes I did, and I got her to phase back into a human, congrats, Quil, she's a natural shifter. It took her all of one try. I felt Quil grin in my mind and he thanked me. Then I told him that I'm bringing her back and to get everyone ready in their human form so they don't freak Sammie out even more than she already is. Sammie has seen all of us in our wolf forms, but phasing for the first time can really stress any person out, let alone a four year old.

After Sammie got on my back, and held on tight, I started running, swiftly avoiding all branches and trees and other various plants that were in the forest. When we got back, Sammie slid off my back and then ran into Quil's arms.

"Daddy, Daddy! I finally phased! I'm a wolf now." Sammy shouted excitedly while looking around at everyone and hugging both her mom and dad. After the commotion had died down, Claire came up to me.

"Thanks, Bells. For bringing Sammie back and helping her phase. It really means a lot to me, you have no idea." I shrugged and smiled at her.

"It was nothing, Claire. I know that if the situations were reversed you would do the same for me. It's what sisters do." She smiled at me and then hugged me, and then we both went off to find our families. When I finally found Jake, Lilly and Nick, they were all playing around in wolf form. When I walked up to them, though they all stopped and looked at me.

"Come on guys, we have to go home. Lilly, Nick, it's time for you two to go to bed." The all phased back and put their clothes on, after going behind trees (Mamma Wolf's orders), before groaning about not being tired. I sighed and then lifted Lilly up who rested her head on my shoulder, while Jake gave Nick a piggy- back ride. We called out goodbye to the rest of the Pack and then started on our way home. After walking halfway, both Lilly and Nick were asleep. Jake and I walked the rest of the way home in comfortable silence hand in hand.

Once again I am so sorry for not updating in forever! Please review… It makes me so happy!

On a different note, though, I have a SERIOUS problem with this story! I have officially run out of ideas, I really want some action to happen, like a bad guy to come or something but I just don't know… It is driving me insane! So if you guys have any ideas for this story either put it in a review or pm me or whatever! If you do give me an idea I can work with I will totally dedicate the rest of the story with that Idea in it to you and you will become my savior! PLEASE REVIEW!

Love the Midget :)
