AN: hey guys, I know I haven't updated so much and I'm really sorry about it. I just haven't been in the writing mood. I've had a lot on my mind for the past couple of weeks. I hope that everyone reading is still interested in my stories. This story is almost over and I can't promise that this will have a happy ending. I don't know how I'm going to end this story but I like where it's going. I was asked how Bella became a werewolf. And I would answer that question but many of you would probably be angry by my answer. So go ahead and make your own assumptions. It's not that important to the overall story how she became one.

Damien's POV

I waited until I heard the car drive away before turning towards Vincent. "Hey what do you think they do at those meetings anyways?" I asked.

"Probably talk about their lame jobs." Vincent replied.

"Do you want to follow them?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me.

We got up off the couch and made our way outside. We cut across the woods. If you went through here you could make the ten minute trip to Uncle Sam's house in 2 minutes. We snuck up to the window which was open just a crack and waited for my parents to get there. Everyone was already sitting in the living room and it looked so small with Sam, Paul, Quil, Seth, Leah, and Jared all crammed inside there. I heard my parents car coming closer and we crouched down lower hiding behind some bushed. They got out of the car laughing and walked inside the house without even knocking.

"Finally you got here." Sam said getting up as they walked inside the door.

"Okay let's get to business." he said and rubbed his hands together.

"We haven't had any business in years." Uncle Embry said.

"Actually tonight we do." Uncle Quil said seriously. Everyone turned towards him, curiosity burning in their eyes.

"What do you mean?" Uncle Paul asked.

"I was running this morning. You know my usual mid day run around the border line and I found one of them." He said. "Well more like she found me. She was waiting there." He said.

"Who?" Mom asked her eyes wary.

"The small one of the clan of bloodsuckers." He said hate radiating from his voice.

"There back?" mom asked angrily and slammed her fist down on the coffee table. It broke under the force from her fist. WOW mom's strong.

"Oh I'm so sorry Emily." She said, "I'll pay to get you another one." Emily smiled and said, "Don't worry about it Bella." I knew my mom would end up paying Emily or getting her a new coffee table.

"No, I insist." Mom said. Emily just nodded, Quil cleared his throat and the attention went back to him.

"She asked if we could meet them tonight." He said and ran his hand through his hair.

"No." mom said "absolutely not. I don't care what they want we will not meet them." Dad rubbed his hand on mom's back trying to get her to calm down. She put her face in her hands. And then Uncle Sam spoke up, "I think we should meet them just to check what they want." He said. Mom sighed frustrated.

"Fine." She said into her hands making her voice sound muffled.

"I think we should all go." said Embry. Everyone nodded and got up going into the back yard. I could tell my mom was reluctant to go but still she stood and walked out behind the rest of them. Emily stayed inside and watched them leave. Vincent and I crouched low again into the bushes and watched as they walked into the trees. We heard the crunch of leaves and tree branches and then complete silence. We looked at each other not being able to understand what had just happened.

"Let's follow them." I mouthed and Vincent nodded walking towards the trees. The farther we went inside the darker it got. Soon we couldn't even see more than two feet in front of us but somehow I knew we were going the right way. I could smell mom and dad as if they were right next to me. Then in the silence we hear a coughing like bark and we both jumped surprised looking around us trying to figure out what that had come from.
