Bella POV.

Things happened quickly after that. Too quickly for me to really understand, i was being comforted by Rose and Edward one minute and then i was behind Edward the next, he was crouched in front of me low and menacing, a feral growl emanating from his chest. I didn't understand why, not at first, not until i saw the large wolf like creatures standing tall and strong just inside the tree line.

They were magnificent, beautiful and intelligent creatures. I got that from just looking at them for a split second, from looking into their eyes that held a sort of human quality.

Then i looked at the large silver wolf- which coincidently was looking straight at me as well- and time stopped, everything stopped, all i could see was the deep brown orbs surrounded by silver fur, i looked at the wolf, really looked at it. It was silver but darker in places, almost black on its chest, it was beautiful and it as stupid as it seems, it seemed to care, it seemed to have worry etched into its beautiful face, its eyes held fear anger concern and so many other emotions.

Its just an animal! No. This creature is far from just an animal.

The things started to click, and with horror i realised that they were in danger, from the Cullen's.

Not thinking i did the one thing that sprang to mind, i ran from behind Edward past the rest of the Cullen's and out the door, of course they followed me being Vampires and all but i stopped and turned to face them,

"Don't hurt them," i said, not completely understanding why i cared so much for these monstrous sized animals. I was without a doubt like an ant to them, there large forms towering over me.

"Do you know who they are Bella?" Edward shifted slightly but he didn't step any closer.

I could vaguely feel the wolves behind me, and though my back was facing them i was sure they wouldn't hurt me.

"Who?" i asked making it obvious it was a question, i arched my brow and although i couldn't see my face im sure confusion was evident,

"We aren't going to hurt them Bella, but please step forwards a little," Rose said from her place next to Edward, though she a little closer, she had fear panic and concern floating in her topaz eyes, and for a second i felt the need to comply, but then i remembered the silver wolf, one of the ones standing behind me, and its brown eyes that had held concern for me.

I turned slowly, not wanting to startle the creatures behind me. They all stood, all nine of them- in the back of my mind i stored that piece of information- all unique, yet all beautiful. They stood in a lose 'V' formation the largest at the front working back to the smallest. My eyes roamed them and then stopped on the silver one, my one. Although the whole pack were looking at me, whether out the corner of their eyes or plain out staring, the gaze from the silver one seemed to interest me more.

I tilted my head to the right; it looked at me for a few seconds before copying me. I giggled a very girlish sound which caused the silver beauty to give me what can only be described as a wolf smile, its lips pulled back over its canines and its tongue fell to the side. Of course this caused me to giggle a little more and i mentally hit myself for being such a girl but then the wolf made a low rumbling sound and i stopped and looked at it.

"Are you laughing at me?" i said knowing that i probably looked insane to the Cullen's. I mean it was an animal, no doubt about that but... it was different. It seemed to understand.

The wolf barked slightly and wolf smiled at me again. The other wolves seem to all be looking at me now, all smiling the same wolf smile.

Although i had stepped forwards trying to get closer to my silver wolf the step had also brought me closer to the large brown and red wolf, that if i turned slightly to the right would be directly in front of me.

So i turned ever so slightly. The large brown reddish wolf looked down at me bringing its head to eye level with me, i didn't feel the need to step away or be frightened instead i had the urge to stroke its thick beautiful fur.

I lifted my hand slowly bring it to the side of its muzzle. My heart rate picked up slightly but i didn't try and stop, and it didn't seem to mind instead it pressed its head into my hand. I smiled as its fur came in contact with my hand, it was as soft as i had imagined.

"Your beautiful," i whispered petting the over grown wolf like it was a Labrador puppy.

A few of the wolves around us made low rumbling noises what i had guessed as laughter earlier from the silver one, they all looked slightly amused except the one i was petting who rolled its eyes.

That one very human jester changed everything, i gasped pulling my hand away from the soft thick fur, a look of confusion entered the animals human like eyes, i was pulled away in a cold grip and was placed behind Edward once again which emanated very animalistic noises from the wolves and hissing noise from the Cullen's. All the while i stood, confused frustrated and a little scared behind a line of Cullen's.

"Leave your not needed here," Rose hissed, i saw Emmett the big one hovering close to her, he looked scary now nothing like the big teddy bear from earlier.

"Rose stop, they here for her..." he carried on but it was said to fast and to quiet for me to hear. But i was thinking over the words he just said to be too concerned there here for her. What!

Ok a few things. 1) im sooo sorry i haven't updated in ages, ive started a new job n things have just been hectic and 2) im sorry about this chapter because a)its really short and b) its not all that great, but i feel like i needed to post something.
