Ch. 11 These Truth's Revealed


Spencer Two Arrows moved about her new school. It wasn't difficult to navigate. She had all ready memorized the map. Still she was all ready beginning to hate the school. Something didn't feel right about it. Part of her wished that Charlie had sent her to school on the Reservation. She had gone on occasion to visit with Jacob. He was an easy kid to get along with and when she was there it felt right, normal almost. This new school was foreign though.

What made things difficult was that throughout the day Spence had felt eyes on her, as if she was being watched. As she arrived to school on her bike she was quick to point out where the looks were coming from. A family of six stood by two cars. One of the girl's seemed out of place but in a way also like she belonged.

Instantly Spence was attracted to the group as easily as she had been with Jacob but she let those thoughts slide. She shook her head not understanding what was wrong with her. Ever since she had moved to Forks she had felt off in a way that didn't make sense to her.

Maybe she just didn't belong.

Across the way Bella registered the looks on her family's faces.

She looked up and said, "Edward, what is it?"

He shook his head, "I'm not sure."

'How is that even possible,' Alice asked in thought.

Edward shook his head.

'We should keep an eye on her,' Alice said thinking Edward's thoughts. 'I don't think even she knows what she is.'

Edward nodded in agreement. He wrapped his arm around Bella's shoulder and they made their way inside the school.


By lunch hour Spence slammed her tray on an empty table. She had yet to make any friends. People had seen her as a curiosity but none of them were interested. They were only interested in some other new girl, Bella Cullen, mainly because rumor had been that Bella and Edward were dating even though they shared the last name, much like the rest of the Cullen's. It freaked people out. Spencer wasn't bothered by that, not in the least.

What bothered her was how the day was panning out. She took a bite of her pizza which felt completely off much like her breakfast had this morning. What bothered her most was the theme of the year- genealogy. Much of the junior year teachers were using it.

In English the class was forced to write up fictional stories based on their own histories. In history class they were given a genealogy map to fill out.

What was she supposed to do for hers? Her parents died shortly after she was born, she was raised by two sets of grandparents, if you even considered one set of them grandparents and now she was being raised by an estranged uncle. Her family life made no sense so how could others make sense of it?

The only thing that made sense was being on the Res. with Jacob and his father and being around the Cullen's even though she kept her distance from them.


"Genetics," said Mr. Molina in biology. "They make up the foundation of who we are. They tell us the traits we've inherited from our family members. On your desk you have a microscope, note card with solution, a two petrie slides, some chemicals, a swab, and a lancet. Genetics people, that's what we will be studying today. You will each swab your check, place it on one of the slides and look at it under the microscope. You will then cut the tip of your finger with the lancet and place it on the card with the solution to determine your blood type. After that you can place an extra dab of blood on the other slide. Sound easy enough?"

Spencer could hear some of the students grown and others get excited. Two boys in particular, Mike and Eric were really excited.

Mr. Molina looked around. "Spencer,"

"Spence," she corrected.

"Spence, sorry" said Mr. Molina, "Why don't you team up with Edward and Bella since you don't have a partner."

Spencer looked up being caught off guard. She bit her lip. "I like working alone if that's okay."

Spencer picked up the lancet and looked at her finger. 'How bad can it be?' she thought. 'At least it will give me some kind of answer.'

Before Spence could make her small cut she felt a cold hand wrapped around her wrist. She looked up to see Edward Cullen holding it.

"Don't," Edward said in a whisper so low that as Spence looked around she was the only one who could hear him.

'Why was the day not making any sense,' she wondered.

Bella took a step toward them wondering what Edward was doing.

"Let go," Spencer said in the same silent tone.

"Just promise me you won't make that cut," said Edward.

"I don't even know you why should I listen?"

He smiled slightly, "Guess you just have to trust me."

Spencer stared at Edward coldly. What was it about him that made her want to listen? He seemed to be having the same effect that Jacob's father had on her when they met and in the time that Spencer had been spending on the Res. Edward was different, like Jacob, like Billy but in an opposite way. His body was icy cold but not in a way that bothered her. In fact she kind of welcomed it much in the way that Billy didn't seem bothered by her own heat.

Yet at the same time despite this there was something instinctual in her wanting to escape. She could feel her right hand grip the underneath of her table. It was ridiculous to be angry at Edward and yet she was. She was angry at Edward, angry at the entire school.

Edward saw in her eyes a knowing look, knowing what this girl was capable of. He backed up, keeping Bella behind him.

"It's going to be okay," Edward said in that silent tone again, the tone only she could hear.

"Edward, what's going on," Spencer heard Bella say.

Spencer couldn't think. She could feel her body begin to shake, could feel her anger get worse by the millisecond.

'What is happening to me,' she thought.

"Leave," Edward said, "Now."

Spencer looked at Edward. What did he know? Whatever it was for once Spencer actually felt willing to listen. She was quick to leave the room, leaving the other kids in the classroom bewildered. She didn't care what they were possibly thinking. She had to get out immediately.

Edward and Bella soon followed.

"She's squeamish when it comes to blood," said Edward, "We're just going to make sure she's okay."

Mr. Molina nodded. There was always one or two who couldn't handle the blood typing.


Spencer ran as quickly as she could deep into the woods behind the school. She knew Edward and Bella were following but she didn't care at this moment. Somehow she knew that Edward was the only one who understood whatever the hell she was going through.

She could feel her body temperature fluctuate by the minute; one moment it was burning through the roof as if she were experiencing a fever and the next it was too cold like she had been standing outside in the frozen tundra with nothing but a bra and underwear on.

And the anger. She couldn't explain it. She was having a hard time adjusting living with Charlie and she was having a difficult time with all this genealogy stuff in school but those things were normal parts of life so why was she so upset?

Before Spencer could ask Edward what he knew her body quivered before exploding into a large wolf. There was a watering hole deep within the woods they were in and Spencer looked at herself; freaked out by what she saw- the left half of her body down to her tail was all black and her right side was all white. The only part of her that matched were her eyes, a deep set royal blue but they didn't match the color of her human eyes which were a brown.

Bella could only hear as Spencer howled. A lot of it was howling mixed with whimpers but it was Edward who heard every thought:

What the hell?!

Someone pinch me, this isn't real.

God damn it what the hell am I?

Get me out of here damn it!

Gahh!

"Take it easy," said Edward placing his hands in front of him. "Bella stand back, these juveniles are dangerous."

"What about you?" asked Bella.

"I'll be fine. Just keep your distance, please."

Spencer turned recognizing his smell for the first time. She wanted to hate the smell, she could feel the confusion her body was going through in wanting to be repulsed by the icky burning sensation it made her throat feel but at the same time she was also drawn toward it.

In minutes two other wolves entered the clearing. Spencer turned to see a brown one and an all black one.

"Everything's going to be okay," Sam said to Spencer. He turned and growled at Edward. Jared did the same. "This isn't your problem, go."

"Not going to happen," Edward replied.

Sam growled again this time slightly louder.

"This isn't your problem," said the alpha.

"We are a part of this," said Edward.

Sam took a step forward. "I said leave."

"We're on neutral ground," said Edward. "You can't order me away."

Sam seethed. Hoping to calm him Edward added, "She's half vampire."

Spencer's eyes widened. "I'm what?!"

Jared shook his nose. "So that's where that second stench was coming from." He turned to Spencer. "No offense, it's not as bad as this other bloodsuckers'."

Sam nodded fully understanding now why Edward couldn't leave but he still had a job to do.

"We'll take it from here," said Sam. "She's in her wolf form and I doubt she's can calm down on her own. When we're done we'll hand her over to you."

"Fair enough," said Edward.

"Woah," Spence interceded. "Not fair. Not fair at all. I have to get home. I have to go see Charlie."

Edward looked at her sharply. "Charlie, you're living with Sheriff Swan?"

Spencer shrugged in her wolf form. It was awkward. "Yeah he's my uncle." Then her eyes lit up. "You know him?"

"Kind of," said Edward.

"Who's Charlie," Bella asked.

Edward glanced at Bella. "It's kind of a long story," he said both to her and Spencer.

"Charlie's the least of your problems," said Sam. "You'll come home with us."

Spencer could feel an odd sensation of obeying Sam. She shook her head. He was menacing looking; of course he was the alpha. It wasn't that she wanted to obey him, she just felt a need. She stopped herself from bowing to him.

She could hear Sam's thoughts, him thinking it was odd that she wasn't directly obeying his orders the way Jared easily did. Spence tried to ignore his hostile curiosity and focus on what Sam and Edward were both saying.

Sam ignored her thoughts. "Jared, go to the station and make something up so Charlie doesn't have to worry."

Jared nodded. "You got it boss anything else?"

Sam nodded. "Yeah, while you're at it, make your way to the Res and tell them of our newest pack mate. I'll be there when I can."

"On it," Jared said running deeper into the woods.

Spencer took a step toward Edward wanting to follow him as much as she wanted to follow Sam. It was all too confusing. She bent her head and let Edward scratch it. He still kept Bella at a safe distance.

"It's okay, go with Sam. I'll meet you at your place when you're done."

Spencer turned to Sam. She hated the look he was giving her, more so that he was ordering her to follow but she seemed to be immune to his orders.

Sam was right though, she was in her wolf form and she didn't know how the hell she was going to get out of it so it was probably best to follow the leader.

"I'll be back when I can," Spencer said to Edward.

Edward nodded, "Don't rush it. You need to know those histories as much as you need to know ours."

Spence nodded to Bella. "I'm not a threat to her you know? I've been around humans my entire life."

That got Edward curious. "Do you ever get the urge to hunt?"

Spencer shrugged. "Sometimes, I just always thought it was a normal human thing though so I never questioned it. Even now after what you said about me could be true it still doesn't affect me." A new scent wafted through the air and Spencer pointed her nose. There was a herd of dear to the north east. "Now that on the other hand I could go for. Wonder how hunting will be without my bow and arrow for a change."

Spencer made her way to the woods. "Come on Sam, I'll race ya!"

"This isn't a hunting mission," Sam yelled after. "Get back here Spencer Two Arrows," he said in his alpha commanding voice. It had no effect on the young wolf.

Sam immediately followed after her.

Edward just laughed. He then turned to Bella. She was looking at him curiously.

"So you have a history with werewolves," she said to him.

"I promise I'll explain everything. Come on, we should get home."
