CHAPTER 13: Protectors Of La Push.

My name is Sam Uley, I am a resident of the La Push reservation, which is just outside of Forks, Washington State. I was born here, brought up in a one parent family as my father Joshua Uley or sperm donor as ny mom calls him, decided there were better things to do with his time than work and provide fir his family, I.e get drunk and run off with the first bit of skirt that came along. I hated him for leaving us, me and my mom. There were many nights I heard her, sobbing her heart out, asking herself why her. She never knew that I heard her, she was too proud to ask for help. My mom raised me as best she could, I never went without. She always made sure there was food on the table, cupboards filled with food, clothes on my back etc. Working her backside off, doing two sometimes three jobs just to make sure we were comfortable and I had what I needed. I will always be grateful to her for this, she was one in a million. Even to this day, even as I am older, she still worked hard. She wouldn't ever change her attitude, too set in her ways I suppose.

As a child, I remembered the stories that were told at the bonfires when the elders would gather round the fire, their wizened faces glowing through the night as the flames of the fire danced in their eyes. I remember hearing them speak of the ancient protectors, the shapeshifters. They spoke in great detail of how the strange creatures came to their lands, of how this one day a hunting party returned to find members of their families, slaughtered in broad daylight by a ruby eyed monster with skin as hard as stone. They called him and his kind, The Cold Ones. I knew them in this day as vampires or what me and my friends called them, leeches as they litterally sucked the life from you. But back to my childhood, they were just stories, not real. Mother's and Father's told their children that if they didn't behave, then the cold ones would come for them in their sleep. It was enough to put the fear of God in them, the stuff of nightmares.

My body started to change when I was 19, out of nowhere, I shot up in height. Developing muscle where I had none before. I had never had a temper before, I was an easy going guy. Then one night,overturning home from my then girlfriend Leah Clearwater`s house, I was overtaken with the smell of what I can only describe as bleach, so strong it burned at my nostrils. Then the pain raging through my body, the heat surging through my body like it was trying to find a way out. My body literally exploded. Looking back and seeing paws instead of my hands was almost enough to make me shit myself. That was the night I shifted for the first time. I had become a protector, a wolf. It was Old Quill Ateara and Billy Black who found me, crouched and whining in the woods. I don't know how I managed to shift back to my human firm, but they stood there with food and blankets. Turns out I had been stuck in wolf form for almost three days, I had lost track of time and my surroundings. This was the start of how my life changed. Old Quill and Billy had taken me back to old quill`s house. They told me again about the legends, what I was, how a rogue vampire must have passed through last push, triggering my phase. I was so angry at first, they banned me from returning home to see my mom till I was under reasonable control. I was banned from seeing my girlfriend Leah, we had been together since we were young, how could I just leave her.

Old Quill spent days with me, teaching me, helping me to meditate to control the wolf inside. It was him who informed me if The Cullens. That made me fly off the handle, a fucking leech coven, pretending to be a family, going to school amongst humans who were their natural food source. Fucking sick freaks. Through time I was able to control my wolf more and more, able to phase as and when I wanted. It was a great feeling to be back in control. I returned home on a Saturday to be greeted by my mom crying her heart out because I had disappeared without a word, don't get me wrong, old Quil and Billy had eventually informed her as to what had happened to me, she fainted apparently. That's my mom for you though. My next port of call was going to see Leah, she was mad as hell. I couldn't blame her, but after lots of shouting and tears, we made up. The sex that time was fucking amazing, I loved this woman. I was banned from telling her obviously, she probably wouldn't have believed me anyways.

Billy Black was the one to tell me about the legend of Imprinting, how it was the wolves way of finding their perfect mate, ideal match. Me being me, thought it was complete and utter bullshit. So I continued my relationship with Leah, ignoring the warnings given to me. Determined I would fight it, should it ever happen, not that it would. I was so sure of myself back then. Sure enough, one fateful afternoon, I went to see Leah, she had her cousin visiting from the Makah Reservation, her name was Emily Young. All it took was one small look in her eyes as Leah introduced us, I was completely fucked. The air was sucked out of my lungs, everything that mattered to me before this, my mom, my job, Leah, suddenly didn't matter a fucking thing to me, my whole world centered around this one girl in front of me. It was at this point I ran away. I couldn't hurt Leah like this, so I tried to fight it. I tried so fucking hard, I honestly did.

But the pain of being away from Emily was too much, I found her one night sitting on a rock in the middle of the woods, alone. This, I was not happy with. Finding out as to why she was crying, hearing that her and Leah had argued was not good. I had fought to control the phase, but couldn't stop it. It resulted in Emily being scarred for life and me to bare the knowledge that It was me who had scarred her, this was my cross to bare, my burden. Things moved quickly from there, I broke up with Leah who was devastated, but that was nothing compared to the way she reacted when she found out that Emily and I were now together. That was the day I broke Leah Clearwater, that was the day I realised how fucked this wolf business was. She slapped Emily's face then I saw in her eyes, the pain we had inflicted on the poor girl. She would never forgive me, her family consoled her as best they could, what with Harry, Leah`s father being an elder and council member, he knew what had happened, about me being a wolf etc, that it couldn't be helped. That was the day I hated what I had become, but Emily was my soul mate. The gods had decided she was the one for me, that was the end of it.

Life went on, things changed. I wasn't alone being a wolf anymore. I had been joined by Jared Cameron, then a month later, Paul Lahote joined our little crew. Whereas Jared was happy go lucky, fierce in wolf form, Paul was just fierce all the time. He came from a broken home, his father fucking off in his childhood, his mother turning to alcohol resulting in her premature death at the age if thirty three. It was Jared`s family who had taken Paul in, raised him as their own. Hence Jared and Paul weren't merely best friends, they were to all intents and purposes, brother's. As a team they were lethal, they moved in sync when we were on patrol. Taking down any leech in their path. They were a destructive duo if doom when paired.

I remember the day Billy Black told us of how his best friend Charlie Swan`s daughter had gone and gotten herself involved with the Cullens. We were told to keep an eye on her on the low low. So we did what we did best, watched from afar. Then the night came we got word Bella was missing. Charlie had organised a search party, with young Jake taking part also. But Billy said the only people capable if finding her, was us, the protectors. So we did, it was me that found her, curled in a ball in the middle if the forrest floor, soaked to the bone, mumbling "He left Me" over and over again. I felt sick to my stomach, the stench of leech clung to her clothes, to her skin. She downright stank.

I returned her to Charlie that night, his gratitude overflowing as he thanked me. Paul and Jared hadn't come with me when I returned her, they stayed in the woods out of sight. I never saw Bella again till recently. Old Quill had told the pack that young Jacob Black was showing signs of phasing soon and could we help hurry the process up so to speak. So we approached him after school, trying to goad him into losing his temper, it didn't work. I had seen Bella earlier that same day, she looked extremely well and alot happier, I introduced her to Emily as she had been with me. Bella had thanked me for finding her that night, that was fine. I didn't think I would see her again so soon though.

After me and the guy's had given Jacob Black a verbal bashing on Wednesday, who should turn up at my door but the last person I was expecting, Bella Swan. I civilly asked her how I could help her and she let rip. She was a tiny tornado of anger, she looked right up at me, pointing right in my face,telling me to back off, to stay away from Jake and her friends, well that's the polite version anyways. This tiny little girl just chewed me up and spat me out like yesterday's breakfast. My first thought was, fucking hell she's angry. Then she just walked off after warning me. I stood on my front porch, stunned into silence.

That was the moment that Jared came running through the back of the house, Paul hot on his heels. Faces grim, one word came from Jared`s lips "Leech" and we were off. Phasing, we followed the scent left behind by the abomination, there's another thing about being a wolf, we share a telepathic link, the other wolves can see into my mind, and I into theirs. So whilst we were following the trail, Jared and Paul who by the way wasn't even bothering about my thoughts as he was too busy concentrating on the task at hand saw my thoughts. It was Jared who spoke through the mind link...

"Dude, you got owned, ha ha, that's priceless" he said laughing his head off.

I just snorted, the scent was getting stronger.

I heard voices ahead in the meadow. Looking through the trees, I saw it was Bella, she was being confronted by the leech we were hunting.

"For fuck sake Bella, they just can't keep away from you, can they?" I thought to myself. Neither Paul not Jared looked at her, they had fallen into destructive mode. So there was no getting through to them. I gave the order as Alpha of the pack, to destroy.

We took him down with ease, racing past Bella in the process, who being as clumsy as she was, fell on her ads. Funny at any other time, but not in the middle if a hunt.

"Run Bella, fucking run you idiot" I thought.

It was as if she heard me, cause that's exactly what she did.

We ripped apart the leech and burned the pieces when we phased back to our human form. It was Paul who put the match to the leeches head.

"Please no" it begged.

Paul being Paul, smirked "Have fun in hell".

So ends my tale of how we came to be, now we just have to wait and see who else phases, there are a few showing signs, Jacob Black especially.

It's onto the waiting game now.

We as wolves are also immortal, so we have all the time in the world.

We walked back to my house as normal, thinking what was going to happen next.
