Just a little chapter that I think will surprise a few people. If any body wants a backstory to the chapter let me know. This takes place about three day before the fight in Eclipse. And by the way I don't own Twilight. Just those you don't reconginze...

Kori stood beside the rest of the wolves. She and Embry were standing close to each other. Embry nuzzled her. Sam looked at the pair.
"Show them, Koran." He ordered. Kori glared at her older brother before letting her inner wolf loose. Embry jumped a mile backwards away from his girlfriend. Kori whined. Sam nodded. That used to be his secret with his sister. After their fight over her not being a wolf and the bon fire, the siblings had gotten into another fight resulting in Kori shifting for the first time. Luckily Sam was the only one on patrol and the others only thought Kori was in the pack minds due to her whisperer status. Kori hadn't wanted to be able to be controlled. Sam was harder on her than the rest of them. She was forced to hide her inner wolf. Mostly so the Cullens wouldn't know about her.
"When were you two gonna tell us?" Jacob asked.
"When it was safe. Now we need you to know." Sam said.
"Great we have an extra pack member to help with this army." Paul said. He winked at the girl. Kori snarled. Embry was still staring at his girlfriend. He took a step forward.
"Still me, Emb." She swore. Embry's muzzle rose into a wolfish grin.
"No we don't have an extra pack member. Kori is going to our dad's." Sam cleared up.
"What? No. I'm fighting. You need me, Samuel." Kori said.
"No, you go to Dad. That's an order." Sam stated. Kori growled low. She bared her teeth at her brother only to dip her head in surrender as the order weighed in. Jacob just stared at the siblings. Kori held a scared look in her eyes. She hated being ordered around. The pack all sniffed. Something stunk.
"We stay in wolf form. I don't trust the vampires." Sam said, glancing at the pack. "Kori you keep an eye on Bella."
"I wanna atleast learn to fight." Kori snarled.
"No…" Sam started.
"Let her Sam. She'll need to know." Jacob piped up.
"Fine." Sam said. The wolves slunk through the woods. The Cullens were waiting. The wolves were just watching today. They'd learn by watching and listening. Kori tilted her head to the side. She cringed watching the group. Sometime around four the vampires decided to split. Kori, Embry, and Quil got the message from Jacob to wait for him. Kori knew she'd have some explaining to do. The boys were not liking the fact that she hid this from them. Kori whimpered. She shivered in the cold. She might have been warm blooded. Overly warm blooded but she still got chills. Jacob reappeared.
"You need to explain a few things, Koran." Jacob said. Kori's fur stood up on her back.
"Don't call me that." She growled. Jacob shifted back. Kori retreated behind a bush and did the same. The boys were redressing.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Embry asked.
"Sam told me not to. He wasn't happy when I shifted the first time." Kori said. She bowed her head. "I didn't think it was possible. Whisperers aren't supposed to shift. I did."
"Obviously." Quil stated. Kori wrapped her arms around herself. She let a tear slip.
"I wanted to tell you three. You're my boys." She said. Embry hugged her. He kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry about us, Kor. We're just stunned." He said, kissing her cheek. His lips ghosted over her lips. Kori was left wishing for more yet again. Embry chuckled. Quil and Jacob gagged. Kori turned to the two boys she had been raised with.
"Forgiven?" She asked.
"Every time." Quil stated hugging the girl. Kori looked over his shoulder at Jacob.
"I guess." He shrugged. Kori walked out of Quil's embrace. She held her arms open for Jacob. He hugged her quickly. Kori smiled against his shoulder.
"Love you always, Jake." She mumbled.
"Love you, too, Kori." Jacob stated. A howl went up. The four teens ran for it…
************************************************11************************************************************************************
Kori awoke in Embry's arms. She was almost thankful Sam hadn't came in. They hadn't done anything. Kori wasn't ready for that yet. Embry had never pushed her, either. Kori kissed the sleeping boy beside her. His eyes fluttered open. He smiled at her. Kori leaned up on one elbow.
"Morning." She said. Embry rolled over on top of her. Kori giggled. She covered her mouth as the boy raised an eyebrow.
"Something you wanna tell me?" He asked.
"No." Kori said, pulling him down. He kissed her. Kori smirked. She was leaving in three hours. She wanted this now.
"No, Kori. Not now. Not when you're getting ready to go see your dad." He said, shoving away from her. Kori growled. Embry shook his head. "Sorry, babe." She rolled out of the bed and walked toward her bathroom. Sam walked upstairs and banged on the door. Embry opened it. "She's in the shower." He told the elder Uley sibling.
"Good." Sam stated. "She's leaving in two hours."
"Yeah we know." Embry said, a little more sarcasm in the statement than there should have been. Sam glared at the teen.
"She shouldn't even be…" He started.
"Yeah I know she shouldn't even be a wolf. But she is." Embry said, walking off towards the back of the room to collect his stuff. "Tell her I'll see her at the airport. I need to go home and take a shower."
"Embry… thank you." Sam said, as the boy left.
"Welcome." Embry said, walking out the door…
************************************************11************************************************************************************
Kori turned into Embry's arms as the announcement came over the intercom.
"Flight 128 to Napa, California is now boarding." The announcement said. Kori let tears fall.
"You guys are gonna be okay, right?" She asked.
"Not even gonna bleed." Embry said. "Now you get your ass on the plane so I can pick you up next week." Kori bit her lip walking away from her boyfriend. A few hours later, the plane landed and Kori took a breath. Her father was supposed to pick her up. Joshua Uley would have to remember that he even had a sixteen year old daughter in order to pick her up. She sighed. He'd forget. She grabbed her bag. She turned around.
"Want me to carry it?" A man asked. Kori's eyes sparked.
"You remembered?" She returned.
"Me forget my oldest daughter? I never would." Joshua told his daughter. "And since I would never forget, we're going to lunch before we go home."
"Never pegged you for the father daughter bonding type." Kori stated.
"Ah, that is where you are wrong. Your mother never let me take you anywhere." Joshua said, winking at the teen. He grabbed her bag from her. He flung it in the back of the truck and lifted Kori into the lifted vehicle. "You'll love this place." He promised as he pulled out of the parking lot and headed towards the café. He pulled up to the place. Kori jumped down from the truck.
"It's deserted." She stated.
"It is." Joshua said. "That's why I think you'll like it. Sam said there were things I needed to tell you and vice versa. So this place is perfect."
"Stupid older brothers." Kori mumbled as they walked inside. They were seated and had ordered when Joshua cleared his throat.
"You have two little brothers and a little sister." He told her.
"I heard." Kori said. "I'm a werewolf."
"A shifter." Joshua corrected. "You guys are not werewolves."
"I shouldn't be though, Dad. I was imprinted on. Embry…" Kori stated.
"Embry Call?" Joshua asked.
"Yeah?" Kori asked.
"That proves I'm not the father of him then." Joshua stated, dipping a fry in ketchup.
"What's that mean?" Kori asked.
"You know. Three of us could've knocked Julia up and only one did. Now it's proven it wasn't me." Joshua smirked.
"You're an ass." Kori said, standing up and walking towards the bathroom. She pulled out her phone and called Sam. "Sam. I wanna come home. Dad's… dad's an ass. There's no other way to phrase it. Sammy, just call me back." She wiped a few tears away before walking back to her father. He was standing up and holding her jacket.
"I'm sorry, baby girl that was mean." He said. Kori scoffed and grabbed her jacket. She followed her dad out to the truck. He started heading towards his house. "Just thought I'd warn you that Madeline is not happy with this idea."
"I'm not thrilled either. Meeting the woman who took my dad from me." Kori stated.
"Your mother drove me away! She didn't want me near you or Sam. Said I was a bad influence." Joshua yelled.
"Yeah well you were a bad influence on Sam. He hates life now. He got landed with me. Me. I'm a hellion. And he knows it. You messed Mom up." Kori retaliated. "And in the long end it messed me up."
"I didn't want to be a dad at twenty two. And when she came to me and said she was pregnant with you, I couldn't handle it." Joshua said.
"But when SHE said she was pregnant with the twins, you could handle that?" Kori asked.
"Yes. I was older!" Joshua swore. Kori sighed.
"Yeah I guess." She stated.
"It had nothing to do with you and Sam." Joshua promised.
"Mom always said it did." Kori told him. "Me in particular."
"She lies. Oh by the way hand over the cigarettes." Joshua said, pulling into the driveway. "Last I checked you were sixteen which is too young to smoke." Kori handed the pack to her father. Joshua flipped the sun visor down. He set the pack on it before flipping it up. "Thanks." Kori shrugged. "Madeline is home. Which means Dylan is too."
"That means what to people like me?" Kori asked.
"Means you're gonna meet your youngest half brother." Joshua said. "And Madeline. But one kid is easier to introduce than three. Rebel and Roxi should be home at about three so…"
"You named the twins Rebel and Roxi?" Kori giggled.
"Madeline named them." Joshua said, with a wink.
"Rebel and Roxi." Kori said giggling uncontrollably. She caught her breath. "Let's do this." She grabbed her bag from the back. Joshua led her to the house and held the door open.
"Josh!" A woman yelled. Joshua flinched.
"Yes, Madeline?" He returned.
"I thought you were picking up Rebel and Roxi from school." The woman said.
"I don't have to pick them up till three." Joshua swore.
"Oh but you can go pick her up." Madeline said as she walked into the room carrying a boy who looked about four. "See you need to straighten out your priorities. Your kids should be first."
"She is one of my kids." Joshua stated.
"Whatever." Madeline swore, walking off with her son in her arms.
"Madeline." Joshua sighed. Kori looked from her father to stepmother. She grabbed her bag and started walking towards the stairs. "Second door on the left, Kor. It's yours."
"Sorry to bother you and her, Dad." Kori stated, walking away from him. She walked upstairs and found her room. Her dad knew something about her that was certain. She had a black and white bed spread on the bed and a bunch of other little knick knacks on the desk. A laptop was on the desk with a note attached. "Thanks, Dad. Still not moving in with you." She said. There was screaming down the hall. Something crashed.
"Madeline!" Joshua's voice travelled down the hall with force.
"Go to hell, Joshua!" Madeline returned. She stormed out. Kori looked out the door. Her dad kicked the wall.
"Childish much?" Kori asked. Joshua turned around.
"She doesn't like having you here. You're a threat to her kids." He said. "Which is bullshit." Kori laughed.
"Woman stole a dad from two kids and she thinks I'm a threat?" Kori asked.
"Don't even go there, Koran. Madeline will calm down eventually. She always does. But I was wondering if you can babysit Dylan. Or I mean both of you can go with me to pick Rebel and Roxi up." Joshua said.
"I don't know anything about kids so can we go with option two?" Kori asked.
"Let me let you in on a secret then, Dylan is easy compared to the two seven year olds you're about to meet." Joshua said, lifting Dylan up. "Dylster, this is Kori. She's your sister."
"Sissy?" Dylan asked.
"One of them. I swear kiddo you only have two." Joshua laughed. Dylan smiled. He held his hand out.
"Dylan Samuel Uley." He said. Kori smiled back at her brother.
"Kori Taylor Uley." She told her youngest brother.
"Nice to meet you." Dylan said.
"You too." Kori said. Joshua shook his head. Something had told him that Dylan would be the one Kori instantly bonded with and he was right. The trio walked out towards Joshua's truck. Kori looked at him.
"Might as well ride up front. Rebel usually does. But you might as well." He said. "There's enough room for Reb and you."
"Don't want one of my brothers hating me." Kori said.
"None of your brothers will hate you." Joshua swore. "Roxi on the other hand."
"Roxi isn't nice." Dylan piped up.
"Roxi just has issues. She reminds me of you when you were seven." Joshua said. "Only I can actually say that it is her mother's fault that she's so mean."
"Mom had nothing to do with me. I… I don't even know, Dad." Kori stated.
"No you're issues have to do with me." Joshua said. Dylan looked at him. "But I'm willing to help change it. Ice cream after we pick your brother and sister up?"
"Yes!" Dylan yelled.
"The young one has spoken." Kori laughed…
************************************************11************************************************************************************
Rebel was just like his father had described him. Laid back and relaxed. Roxi was too. Kori had only known the girl for a few minutes and there was a resemblance between the two that was evident from the get go. Kori watched the twins with a keen eye when they arrived back at the house. Rebel reminded her of Sam in a few ways. He was always watching his siblings and always helping them with things. Roxi hated everything and everyone but was subtle about it. And Dylan was very care free. The youngest Uley was constantly getting yelled at by his mother and his older brother. Kori was just highly amused by it. Her phone started ringing. Embry's name popped up. Kori scrambled up the stairs.
"Hey." She said answering as soon as she was in her room.
"You've been gone two days and I hate it already." Embry said.
"I'm not liking it either." She said.
"Tomorrow's the day." Embry sighed.
"It is. You're gonna be okay aren't you?" Kori asked.
"Fine. I won't have a scratch." Embry promised. "None of us will. It'll be a quick fight too. And I'll call you as soon as we're back in La Push."
"I just wish I could be there." Kori admitted.
"I'm glad you're not. You like danger too much. And I couldn't watch you get hurt." Embry said.
"Yeah because I'm weak little Kori Uley." Kori snapped.
"I didn't say that! You did." Embry returned.
"And you keep confirming you." Kori stated. She felt tears swell in her eyes. She slid down the wall. "I should be there, Embry."
"Yeah you should. Sam just doesn't want his baby sister hurt." Embry told her.
"So he ships me off to the man who hates me." Kori cried.
"Your dad doesn't hate you." Embry swore.
"No he doesn't. He's actually pretty cool but his wife and kids… my little sister hates me. My little brothers are okay with me but my step mother and little sister." Kori said.
"You have a little sister?" Embry asked.
"She's seven. She's just like me, Emb. My brothers. The youngest one is really cute and sweet. The older brother is just like Sam." Kori said.
"They don't sound that bad." Embry said trying to help him.
"Yes but they… I can't get close to them…" Kori argued.
"Then don't. But at least you met them. They're your siblings." Embry said.
"They're Sam's too. He doesn't want to know them." Kori said.
"Sam's Sam. He doesn't want anything more than to know you're okay and that La Push is safe." Embry said.
"Yeah I know." Kori said. "Go get some sleep."
"I think I will." Embry said. "Kor, I love you. No matter what happens tomorrow I love you."
"Love you too."
Ok so I lied. A little romance never killed anyone. Kori becoming a wolf will play out in a few chapters. I just love her little brother Dylan. And Madeline is in for an ear full in the next chapter. And what'll happen with the guys in La Push? Will Embry bleed a little? Will he forget to call? Will my friend ever get over his ex gir... wait that isn't relevant to this... Oh well review!
