Chapter 2 Unexpected

I do not own the characters, the plot or twilight,etc all belong to Stephanie Myers. I merely put my own version out there she has all the credit.

Bella

I follow Edward and Alice out the forks high school breathing in the fresh breeze through my nose and feeling the wind against my face. This was living, why did I ever want to give it up? I wonder...I feel my head getting all fuzzy and then I remembered! Bad Bella, You choose Edward. I look up from my shoes to see we're already stopped at Edward's Volvo. Edward is smiling so beautifully that it makes my heart feel like it's going to swell up and burst out of my chest.

Edward continues talking obvious to my dreamy thoughts thank god for small blessings. " I'll bring her around seven, that should give you more time to set up." he confirms. Alice's laugh is all silver, a wind chime, " Sounds good. see you tonight, Bella. It'll be fun, you'll see" she grins a wide smile exposing all her perfect predatory teeth- pecks me on the check and dances off towards her car.

" Edward please-" I started to beg, but he pressed one icy cold finger to my lips. " Lets discuss this later, we need to get you home." Guiding me to the car, people no longer stare as we walk by Edward and I have been together too long now to be an object of gossip anymore. Mike Newton even stopped giving me that glum look that used to make me feel a little guilty.

As we head towards my house, trees just a blur as I drive in my truck. I can't help but notice that Edward has money and lots of it and I've never had money, and that has never bothered me. It just makes me uncomfortable being showered with all these gifts, even if you have the money you don't need to blow it you know? Then again, what do I know I'm only human. Edward was playing with the radio as a drove and tuts " Your radio has horrible reception"

I frown. I don't like it when he picks on my truck. the truck is great-it has personality. " You want a nice stereo? Drive your own car." The words came out sharper than I meant to but, it was true.

I parked in front of Charlie's house, he reached over and took my face into both of his hands, he handled me so carefully like I was especially breakable. I hated that." You should be in a good mood today of all days" he whispers his cold breath fanned across my face. I shiver involuntarily from the cold, I've always hated every cold wet thing I guess Edward is a special case. " And if I don't want to be good? " I question my breathing rough and uneven, fed up.

His golden eyes smother, " Too bad"

My head was already spinning by the time he leaned closer and pressed his icy lips against mine. As he intended no doubt all my anger melted away with the touch of his lips against mine. I press closer, wrapping my arms around his neck throwing myself at him and then... nothing.

He unhooks my death grip and backs away towards the other side of the car. " Be good please" he grunts out his eyes turning black in hunger claws sinking into his sides. I hated this, the one thing that sucked about dating a vampire, no sexual contact or else I'm dead.

I sigh " Do you ever think It'll get easier?" " No Bella, You are my singer, your blood literally calls to me as long as your human we must be careful." he bites out.

I roll my eyes, " Fine lets go watch the Capulets and Montagues hack each other up all right?" I say trying to hide the emotions from my face, his love was torture, I must be a masochist.

" Your wish is my command" He claims the predator tamed for now and follows me into the little house.

Sam

The wolf takes over completely, I am just a person sitting on the sidelines watching. Watch the wolf agreed learn he demands. The wolf looks up and locks eyes with the slightly smaller grey wolf and BAM! !!!

I hear a voice, well two voices really the wolf and the man and I feel a rope coming out of my chest and towards this other shifter- this bond pulling me towards him. A connection has been establish and now I am not alone, not anymore.

Pack my wolf confirms, Brother he addresses the wolf. The Silver Wolf stares back at us cocking his furry head to the side, Brother he growls softly back. Trotting towards My wolf he leans forward nuzzling my fur with his snout back and forth. A purring like sound emitting from both our wolves- a connection snaps into place with that acceptance, that confirmation.

Brotherhood, acceptance, pack.

I give into the instincts, letting the wolf guide me and our new brother into this. I realize that my wolf isn't against me. I enjoy running through the forest with the silver wolf. Our human thoughts silenced from each other for now. Pure instinct taken over.

This is crucial for the wolves I realize, we need to bond and I learned that every wolf that shifts will go through this too. It is a tradition, a tradition I wasn't aware of until now.

We play fight, nipping and pulling at each other. Running throughout the forest all night long. Playing tag and constantly rubbing against each other another wolf thing I note and can't help but reach out towards this connection. I needed this and I feel content and comfortable in my body, shifter and all for the first time since I changed.

I awake to the light of the sunrise, still in my other form cuddled against the other wolf. My wolf awakes too and beckons me towards the cliffs of la push. I listen following the wolfs instincts stepping over the still sleeping grey shifter.

I take steps towards the edge of the cliff the ground vibrating with each step I take. I stop at the edge and sit down. I close my eyes, taking a deep breath and just feel. I feel the wolf, my wolf. I could feel the connection to my pack brother and a part of my soul connected to him as well.

I take a deep breath and open my eyes, I see myself, the man and besides him is my wolf, pure black as tall as a motorcycle and with glowing yellow eyes.

We are one they say simultaneously

"accept it and become who you were meant to be" the man says to me looking at me with those eyes full of wisdom I had yet to gain. The wolf locks eyes with me and yet another piece of my soul snaps into place where it was always meant to be.

I give in the wolf, into my instincts and I emerge a new being," Alpha". The wolf wasn't a monster, He was a protector and so was I. I was meant to phase first, I was meant to become Alpha and I will lead my pack against those leaches.

I see the wolf and man step together joining each other and then disappearing into thin air.

Bella

It was around six when I heard the sound of the police cruiser pull in, Charlie comes in with a pizza box in his hands. " Hey kids." He grins at me, " Thought you might want a break from cooking and washing dishes for your birthday. Hungry?"

" Sure. Thanks Dad."

Charlie didn't comment on Edwards apparent lack of appetite. He was used to Edward passing on dinner.

" Do you mind if I borrow Bella this evening?" Edward asks when Charlie and I were done.

I look at Charlie hopefully. Maybe he had some concept of birthdays as a stay-at-home,family affairs-this was my first birthday with him, the first birthday since my mom, Renee, had remarried and gone to live in Florida, so i didn't know what he would expect.

" That's done-The mariners are playing the Sox tonight" Charlie explained, and my hope disappeared. " So I won't be any kind of company...here." He tosses the camera towards me and I accidentally let go of it. It tumbled towards the floor. Edward snagged it before it could crash. " Nice save," Charlie noted " If they're doing something fun at the Cullen's tonight, Bella, you should take some photos. You know how your mother gets."

" Good idea Charlie," Edward said, and snapped the first picture."It works."

" Okay you kids have fun tonight". It was clearly a dismissal. Charlie was already edging towards the living room and the tv.

Edwards smiled, triumphantly, when we got to the truck, he opened the passenger door for me again, and this time I didn't argue. I hated being treated special just because I was a woman.

Edward drove north through forks, visibly chafing at the speed limit enforced by my Chevy. The engine groaned even louder than usual as he pushed it over fifty. " Hey! Take it easy." I warned him angrily.

" You know what you would love? A nice little Audi coupe, Very quite, lots of power..."

" There's nothing wrong with my truck Edward, drop it" I spit out seething the whole way there.

" I have a question, if develop this film," I said toying with the camera in my hands," will you show up in the photo?" Trying to diffuse the tension, it works. Edward starts laughing, helps me out the cat pulled me up the stairs and was still laughing as he opened the door.

As the night nearer an end I had one last present to open, Edwards and Alice's I'll be honest I had a lot of fun tm which is rare for me.

" Open mine and Edwards next," Alice says, so excited. She held a small, flat square in her hand.

I turn to give Edward a glare. " You promised" Before he could answer, Emmett bounded through the door. " Just in time!" He crowed pushing in Jasper, who had also drifted closer than usual to get a good look.

" I didn't spend a dime" Edward assures me. I turn to Alice, " Give it to me." I sigh waving a white flag practically giving up on getting what I want for my birthday, peace, quiet and no gifts was that too much??

Emmett chuckles with delight.

I took the little package, rolling my eyes at Edward while I stuck my finger under the edge of the paper snd jerked it under the tape.

" Shit" I muttered when the paper sliced my finger, my heart hammering in fear as I pull it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut, it wouldn't have been a big deal had I not been in a room full of vampires.

What does Bella mean when she says " she's only human"? She's insecure due to being human, she sees herself as weak. She's also always been insecure due to her childhood and doesn't trust her own judgement either which works in Edwards favor.

Also yay! Sam has accepted his wolf but, changes, big changes are coming what will happen?

What was going on at the cliffs? Sam was connecting spiritually with his wolf and in order to do so needed another push so his spirt wolf reached out and connected with Sam by showing him that they are one.

Why is Bella going from loving Edward to questioning him in her head?

SPOILER if you don't want to know skip this part

Bella is being dazzled by Edward, thus she acts selfish by being with a vampire, deciding to leave her family and her wants behind for said vampire and for all her doubts being taken away every time she sees him. She loves Edward without the vampire venom influencing her but, if she didn't have that influence she would not stay with him because Bella is and was always smart and would realize that she wants to be human and she wants kids so they aren't going to work out but the venom also has addict like effects so due to the dazzling she will take a long time to recover and to outsiders will seem like an attention seeking girl.
