Chapter 17:

The red headed woman was the woman haunting my dreams. Her name was Victoria. I knew because the pack had updated me why she was here. She was after Bella.

When I finally arrived home I received even more dreadful news. Harry Clearwater my best friend Izzy's uncle had past away.
After I heard the news I ran straight out the door for Izzy's house.

There ones one problem. Izzy's house was far from mine. I phased instead and I ran. It was a lot quicker that way. I got there in about 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes by car. I quickly phased back, changed and ran for the door. I started to bang on the door. Sue had opened the door in tears. Charlie was also there. I gave Sue a hug and she held me tightly.

"I'm so sorry!" I tried to comfort her.

"Izzy is up in her room. If you like to see her." Sue told me finally letting go of my embrace. I walked up and walked into Izzy's room to find her sitting in a corner crying. I knew how difficult this was for her. Izzy's parents had both died when she was 2 from a car accident. A drunk driver went head on to them. Izzy never really had known her mother or father. She lived with the Clearwater's for her whole life so they were basically like her parents. Izzy was going through the same pain I went through a couple months ago. I sat on the floor beside her and hugged her tightly. I cried with her for a bit thinking of my father and Harry. They were really good friends and I already miss them both.

"It's going to be ok Izzy I promise and I'll be here for you every step of the way". I really meant it. Out of all my friends I was closest with Izzy. She was the first friend I met a year ago when I moved here. She was like my sister.

"Can I please be alone right now?"

"Sure "I got up. I walked over to the bed and grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around Izzy. I walked downstairs and saw that Billy had arrived as well.

"Billy I'm going to head home." He just looked at me as I wiped my tears.

"Ok. But can you please go find Jacob first. I want to make sure he is ok." Billy said as he rolled over to the kitchen to comfort Sue some more.

"Ok." I'll go find him. It was getting dark and I knew exactly where Jake would be. At Bella's house. I phased and ran to Bella's. I changed back and smelt the worst thing. Vampires. Why would vampires be here? I thought the Cullen's left. I went and knocked on the door. Alice had opened the door. I knew it was Alice because she was the only one of the Cullen's I actually liked. The Cullen's only actually liked me because I was part Vampire and I tolerated them unlike my brothers.

"Helena?" Alice looked at me snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh hey. What are you doing here? I thought you left with your family."

"Yea I did but I came back to see Bella" she explained but I could tell there was something else going on.

"Is Jake in there?"

"Yes the mutt is in there." I didn't like when they referred to my brothers like that. It bugged me because I was part mutt to as they call it. I gave Alice a look and walked into the house. Then Alice ran into the kitchen. She was saying something to Bella that I couldn't hear. All I could see was Jake was getting upset.

"Jake?" Bella was yelling at him and he was moments from phasing.

"Jake calm down." I stepped in both of them surprised to see me. My brothers said I had a gift. I was the only person in the world who could make Jacob Black calm down. Bella went back to yelling at him about Edward. Then she walked out the house with Alice and Jake running after her. I stood at the porch watching them. Jake begging Bella to stay and her refusing him. The took off in the car. No matter what I tried this time Jake was still mad. I took off after him. He ran to the forest and I was close on his tail. He phased back and changed, as did I. He simple walked over to the cliff and sat at the edge. I sat beside him. He started to cry but this time I didn't know how to comfort him.

Weeks past and word was around that Bella had returned with Edward. We were all out on patrol when Jake caught a sent.

Bella! Everyone heard is thoughts. He turned back and ran to the street.

I'll go get him! I shouted to my brothers. I thought it was pointless to phase back it would take to long to catch up to them. I ran to the forest and stood at the edge as Jake and Edward argued. Edward had pushed Jake back and he had phased. That's when I stepped in. No one pushes my brother around. I jumped and bared my teeth and Edward.

"Everyone stop!" Bella yelled. "Please!" I stepped down and walked behind Jake. Bella kept going on and on how she can't choose between both of them. It pissed me off that she strings Jake around even though she'll never love him. Jake ran off. I stayed a second and watched them. And I let Edward read my thoughts.

"You are so fucking lucky I'm not putting my teeth into you or you stupid mate." I knew he heard me by the look he gave me. I loved Bella, she was nice and funny and sweet but sometimes she really made me angry just like today. I ran after Jake as Sam was scolding him for running off during patrol. We all phased back and the boys were goofing off as usual. We all had a new addition to the pack Leah. She had phased shortly after her fathers death. Leah was tough to handle. She had a very big temper issue. She had hated what Sam had done to her. I understood I went through that too but I had let go of it and moved on as for her, she never did. She took her anger out on everybody and made the pack suffer. The boys were talking about how Quil had imprinted on Claire. I thought it was cute how he will always be there for her. Quil with make a good imprint.

"I have to go pick Seth from the airport." Leah said walking off. I remember Izzy mentioning her cousin coming home from boarding school and that he was staying here for good now, but I guess he came early because of his father's death.

"Yea I'm going home too" Jake said. Everyone knew he was in pain. So no one argued.

"I'll come with you." I said linking arms with him as we walked from Sam's house. He looked down on me and gave me a sad smile. As we walked it was silent we were both lost in our own thoughts. I thought of how I love it here now. I love having my brothers around and having Jake around more often it was fun. Even though I went through hard unforgiving things. I moved on and I'm actually happy here. Right when we arrived at the house, I noticed a car there one I've never seen before.

"Jake who's car is that?" I stopped and looked at him.

"Huh?" He snapped out of his thoughts.

"The car. Who's is it? What is it doing here?" He turned around and looked.

"I have no idea." We walked to the door and I heard one voice that I thought I never would.

"Helena?" I turn around slowly. I knew that voice. It was unmistakable. I grew up with that voice nagging and yelling and arguing with me.

"Tommy?"
