The next morning, I went to McDonald's and got some breakfast instead of making some. I smiled when Harry woke up and didn't know what McDonald's was.

"What?"

"McDonald's. Micky D's. Come on, Harry!" I laughed.

He shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

I smiled, "You are too spoiled. I have to get you a cheese burger."

He didn't know what that was either. I got into a bathing suit, a tank top, and some shorts. I looked at Harry and he was eying me. I smiled, "If we're going to the beach, you should put on some swim suit. I packed one."

Harry kissed my cheek before he changed. I put on some waterproof mascara and eyeliner. I put deoderent on and some lip gloss. When Harry entered, he was in some shorts and a t-shirt. I smiled, "You have a swim suit on underneath that, right?"

He nodded, "You said."

I smiled, "Come on! I'm going to show you the forest. Uh, it's gonna take like an hour to walk there, if that's alright."

Harry nodded, "The more time I spend with you."

I smiled, tucking my wand in my shorts. Harry did the same. I held his hand as we walked through the forest west, where I knew we would reach La Push.

"Why are you in your brown form?" Harry asked.

I smiled, "I may not like it, but that is how the people here know me as. When they recognize me, I can either trust them and show my true form, or I can not and they will just know the one."

"What if they think we're vampires?"

I smiled, "We have wands, right?"

Harry chuckled. I heard a howl. "That's them."

I froze and stopped Harry from moving. "They have to smell us. We have been hanging around in the Cullen's house and with the Cullen's. We smell like them and that is what they smell. Just stay still and let them recognize us."

Harry nodded and a pack of thirteen wolves ran toward us. I recognized them all immediately.

"Sam! It's me, Bella! I'm human!" I said loud enough for them all to hear. I saw a russet wolf and smiled, "Hey, Jake."

The wolf stepped forward and gave a toothy grin, his tongue falling out of his mouth. I giggled.

"Nice to see you too. This is Harry. He's human too."

Most of the pack members left and only those that I knew well stayed. They phased in the bushes and changed.

"Bella!" Jake said, hugging me. I smiled.

"Hey."

Jacob sized Harry up. "Why's he with you?"

"Um, because he's my friend." I explained, giving Harry a look to go along with it. Harry nodded, smiling.

"What happened to Cullen?"

I laughed, "He's in vampire jail."

"Sweet! What did he do? Kill a human?"

I shook my head, "Naw, he tried to kill a witch. So, the Volturi took him. No one's going to see him for a while."

"What about your marriage thingy?" Jake said happily.

"I broke it off. I decided I was giving up too much becoming a vampire." Yeah, my life, I thought.

Jake chuckled, "I knew you'd come around. What are you doing in the middle of the woods?"

I smiled, "Well, I'm staying in the Cullen house and I wanted to show Harry the area. We were heading to First Beach."

Jake looked Harry over again. "Uh huh. Well, you have a ring still."

I looked at my hand and sighed, "It's not Edward's engagement ring."

"Oh, well whose is it?" He asked, hurt and vicious.

I took a step back, seeing him shake. "Jake, you know how I felt about you. I loved you like a brother. I couldn't do anything more than that. I'm sorry, but I couldn't."

"Who are you getting married to this time? One of the Jonas Brothers? Bill Gates?" Jake growled.

I pulled Harry behind me. "Jake, calm down. You know I'm not like that. Calm down!"

I reached forward and touched his arm. He calmed a little bit, but he was still shaking. "Jake, calm down!" I said.

He took a deep breath and looked at Harry's protective arm around me. "So, your getting married to your 'friend'?"

I nodded, "Yeah, and?"

"And it's not me, Bella! You know I love you!"

"And I don't love you that way, Jake!"I exclaimed.

Harry pulled me back a little when Jake started to shake. "Harry, get ready. We may need to fight."

I saw Harry nod and Jake phased. I pulled my wand out and pointed it at Jake. "Don't come any further, Jake. I don't want to have to hurt you."

He gave a throaty sound I knew as laughter. I took a step back and Harry followed. Jake took a step forward.

"Jake, please, just leave Harry and I alone."

I looked at Harry, "We have to apparate. Grab my arm."

Harry grabbed my arm and I looked apologetically at Jake. "I'm sorry, but you left me with no other option. Bye, Jake."

I apparated to the woods right outside of the beach. I pulled Harry's arm and he looked at me worried. "You okay, Bella?"

I smiled, "I knew it was going to happen. I'm fine, really."

"But, he nearly killed us."

"Haven't you already died before? We're fine. I really wish I didn't have to give us away. They are probably hunting us down right now."

Harry laughed, "Well, as long as you are fine, I couldn't care less."

"As long as you're fine as well. That was close, though. We have to be careful around them."

Harry nodded and I led him down the shore. We walked hand and hand. I picked up some driftwood and looked at Harry. "Have you ever seen a driftwood fire?"

"No, why?"

"Watch the colors."

I threw the wood down and looked up and down. I pointed my wand at it and muttered, "Incendio!"

The fire turned blue. "It's blue!" Harry whispered.

I smiled, "Yeah, it's pretty huh?"

He nodded, pulling me to him. "A sight I'm glad I can see with you."

I heard a howl and I sighed. "They found us. Alert the media!"

Harry laughed, and I looked toward the woods. I saw Jake in human form, beckoning me toward him. I firmly stood where I was. He walked toward us in human form and looked me over.

"You aren't human."

I smiled, "That I am."

"You just disappeared right in front of half the pack, you aren't human."

I giggled, "I have a heart beat, my eyes don't change color. Well, they do but that's not the point. Blood flows through my veins. I eat food, drink water, and can have kids. I'm human."

"Your eyes change color?"

I bit my lip. Damn! "Um, forget I said that?"

"Bella, what are you?"

I looked at Harry and he shrugged, "I'm human. As human as you are."

"I'm not even human, Bella. I'm a monster."

I laughed, "Well, that makes me a monster too."

"Bella-" Harry warned.

I cut him off, "I just don't phase."

"And you wave sticks around."

I raised my eyebrow like he was missing some important point. "And I don't kill people so you can stop the pack from hunting us down. I would never kill anyone. Well, except for my aunt, but that's different. I have never killed anyone in my life."

"So why did you threaten to kill me?" He asked viciously.

"Were you not trying to kill us?" I pointed out.

He took a step back. "Your lying. I would never hurt you."

Harry laughed, "So you were trying to kill me? Oh, Bella, your mother would just love that."

I smiled, "I know she would."

Jake looked confused, "Huh?"

"My mother, my real mother. She doesn't like Harry very much, in fact she disowned me because I started to date him. Yeah, not Renee, some other person. I don't honestly know who she is anymore." I realized I had an audience. I blushed, "Sorry, right. Back to the present. Jake, just take the hint and realize that I don't want to be in a relationship with you."

Jake looked so sad, he nodded. "Fine. But I won't stop fighting for you. If I die in battle, it will be on your conscious."

I rolled my eyes, "Nice try. You used that one last time, right before the newborn war. It's not going to work. You fooled me once, shame on you. Fool me twice-"

"Yeah yeah. Look, just don't come on the land, anymore. Sam is talking to the elders. You and this one aren't allowed to come on our land."

I sighed, "Well, at least we got to come here once."

"We advise you leave Forks."

I rolled my eyes, looking at Harry. "We are leaving tomorrow, dog."

I giggled, "Harry, no need to be rude."

Harry chuckled, "Right, my bad."

"I will tell the pack. Any time after tomorrow, you are fair game."

"Oh, so scarry. A bunch of dogs killing humans." I whispered to Harry.

Jake walked away.

"We might as well enjoy this place for the next fifteen minutes it takes them to realize we are still here."

Harry laughed, "Race you to the water."

I smiled, "Your on." I tucked my wand into my waist band so that it was secure and I took off my tank top. I threw it ashore and ran toward the water. Harry was already in. I frowned. "You won."

He laughed, "It wasn't without effort."

I laughed as he picked me up and threw me out to sea. "You are so dead!" I yelled, wiping salt water out of my face. Harry laughed and made his way toward shore. I laughed, "Coward!"

Harry turned and smiled. He had my tank top in his hands. "You wouldn't!" I gasped.

He walked toward the fire. I apparated right in front of him. "No you don't!" I growled.

"And if I do?"

I smiled, "You don't see me for a week."

He frowned, "That's not fair!"

I smiled, "It's totally fair. Give me my tank top."

Harry handed it over, and I heard a howl. I giggled, "Let's split."

I grabbed my wand. "Impervious!"

I looked at Harry, "You have your wand?" He nodded, pulling it out.

"Impervious." He said.

We both dried and I put my tank back on. I grabbed Harry's hand and apparated back to the Cullen house. We needed to get in touch with Angie. On the front steps was an owl. I smiled and opened it. "Dear Bella,"I read aloud. "I am coming home. I am sorry for the way I ran out of your life. I should be back by Christmas at the latest. Love, Aunt Eda."

I smiled and looked at Harry, "Andromeda is coming back to Tonks Manor."

Harry smiled, "Finally!"

I smiled, "I know. I have to write back."

I pulled out a pen and wrote her back. I went to the T.V. and turned on the news.

"Isabella Marie Swan is still missing. If anyone has any information where she is, please contact. . ." I looked at Harry. "She has brown hair, brown eyes, and five foot four. She was residing in Forks, Washington before her disappearance. Her father, Charlie Swan, says that Bella has run off to marry boyfriend Edward Cullen. There is no picture. Though it is not confirmed, there have been sightings all through out the town a few months ago. No one has heard from her since last year in early June."

I laughed, "Well, at least they have some facts right."

Harry chuckled, "I can't believe you made the news!"

I shrugged, "It will only be a matter of time before they forget about me."

"I don't know, you are pretty unforgettable."

I smiled, "Thanks, but Bella Swan was boring. Oh, I'm going to get lunch. I am so sick of cooking. I'll be back."

I apparated to the bathroom of a Burger King. I changed my appearance to red head Bella and walked out. I got in line, and ordered a handful of cheeseburgers, burgers, fries, and anything else I could lay my hands on. I walked outside and down the road, apparating when I was out of sight. Yeah, Harry loves burgers now.
