Chapter three And then there was two.

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.

Sam

I shift back to my human skin, naked as the day I was born and walk back into the woods, feeling the soft grass beneath my feet and the wind brushing softly against my bare skin.

I lock eyes with the wolf, eyes now wide and awake. Gaze leveled with my own the wolf watches, waits my wolf echoes.

" Shift" I command power vibrating in my grey wolf fights the order, struggling to stay wolf. " I am your alpha, your brother and pack, do not fight my order unless you wish to challenge us and if you dare I promise you will suffer."

" Now, shift." I command again patience wearing thin. The wolf starts to blur, vibrating and slowly four feet become two and fur disappears replaced with shaggy ,short black cropped hair surrounding a handsome, if not cocky face.

" Who the hell are you?" The boy sneers he couldn't have been older than seventeen compared to my twenty year old self. Not that anyone else could tell, another perk of being a shapeshifter your body matures we both look about twenty five.

I step forward, Chest touching chest and look into his eyes. " I'm Sam Uley, former lone wolf, protector of La Push and now your Alpha, brother, and pack."

He clenches his fists tightly vibrating with rage and confusion. " Protector?" He snorts " Yeah, right what are you" he raises his hands and moves his two fingers up and down in a mock quotation "protecting them from?"

"Silence pup, you think this is a joke?" My wolf snarls eyes glowing with feral rage

" Who you calling pup? The name is Paul, learn it" he growls back not recognizing who's in charge. Well, he'll know soon enough my wolf chuckles.

We lean forward grabbing his neck and forcing it down, in submission " I do not want to hurt you, I can sense that you've had enough of that. If you continue to defy will. Now, close your fucking mouth and listen for once and your life. That's an order." I growled out.

His mouth snaps shut, compelled to listen yet another thing to add to the list of wolf traits. Alphas word is law. "I will answer all your questions. Follow me" I bark out stalking off deeper into the forest towards my very own cabin in the woods.

Bella

It all happened very quickly then.

"NO" Edward Roared.

He threw himself at me, icy cold hands pushing against my ribs with a loud crack, flinging me across the room into a table. It fell, as i did, scattering cake and the presents, the flowers and the plates. I land in the mess of shattered crystal.

Jasper slams into Edward, and the sound was like the crash of boulders in a rock slide. I was in shock blood oozing down my arm, possible cracked ribs. There was another noise, a grisly snarling that seemed to be coming from deep in Jasper's chest.

Jasper tried to shove past Edward, snapping his teeth just mere inches from Edwards perfect marble face. Emmett jumped in, grapping Jasper from behind in the next second, locking him into his steel grip, but Jasper struggled on, his wild, empty eyes focused only on me.

Beyond the shock, there was also pain. I'd tumbled down to the floor by the piano, with my arms thrown out instinctively from all of the clumsy years, to catch my fall, into the jagged shards of glass.

Only now did I feel the searing, stinging pain all over my body, my back all cut up, my cracked ribs, and the hot stinging pain that ran from my wrist to the crease inside of my elbow.

Dazed and disoriented, I look up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arms- into the fevered eyes of six suddenly ravenous vampires.

Sam

At the end of the forest, sat my tiny house that has once been grey, There's only one narrow window besides the weathered blue door. We walked into my front room much like Billy's house, was mostly kitchen.

"Come in." I say stepping inside and sitting down at the kitchen counter. Paul follows kicking his feet back and forth with each step. I take a seat at the counter, motioning him to sit as well.

He does reluctantly, the chair making a creaking sound as he does. " What am I? What the fuck are you? And what's an alpha?" he demands confusing swirling in his eyes and arms shaking. Another thing I note, to add to the list of potential wolf traits. " I'm sure you know of the legends, Paul well, you know of most of them." I take a deep breath, " I'm going to tell you the story of The cold ones and after I do you'll understand". He nods deciding to push his fury down and to summit to his alpha instinctively

"Our tribe, The Quileute's are descended from wolves-" Paul snorts at this finding it obvious no doubt, I glare at his " Are you done?". He smirks " Yeah, yeah I'm done."

I continue "Like I was saying, The Quileute's are descended from wolves and that's was just a legend of our tribe now it's not. The Cullen's are the cold ones, the enemy. But, the last alpha Ephraim Black, the chief found them hunting on our land. But they claimed to be something different- vegetarians if you can imagine. soo..We made a treaty with them. If they promised to stay off Quileute lands, than we wouldn't expose what they were really are to the pale faces."

" I thought they just moved here" Paul manages to mumble still processing turning into a giant animal probably, he's taking this better than I did I noticed

" Or just moved back" I answer back

" Okayy lets say they did just move back, what were they hunting and what are they if we're fucking shapeshifting wolves?!" he asks me incredulously. I laugh the sound rumbling from my chest deep and raw.

" I'm getting there, You see the cold ones are the natural enemy of the wolf, well not really just the wolf but the man too, our natural enemy. You've heard people call us werewolves but we're actually " Shifters" technically. There's always a risk for humans to be around the cold ones, even if they claim they are able to prey on animals. You never know when they might get too hungry to resist. The cold ones, The Cullen's have more of them now, a new female and a new male, but the rest are the same."

"In my great grandfathers time the leader already knew them, Carlisle. " I snarl the name out trying to explain without shifting. " The cold ones are blood drinkers, you might know of them as Vampires." I finish.

" That's a lot to take in man, but I can't help but hate them with every fiber of my being like something inside of me wants to end them, hates the name "Cullen"." I nod, " That's your wolf, you are one and the same."

"Don't try to fight it. I warn gaze holding his " Trust me, I know I tried it and it nearly killed me. Your instincts will guide you and any information you know about wolf packs."

" Alright," he swallows " What's next?" I smirk proud of how well he was taking this, " Now we survive, kick vampire ass and sleep" I say trying not to crack a smile.

He smiles wide and I lose it, we both laugh, laugh at the situation, at our lives being taken away, and most of all at the truth that monsters that go bump in the night were real and we were one of them now.

I look him in the eye, grasp his shoulders and hug him. " I got you Brother, I got you." He presses closer to me, hugging me tight, breathing raggedly and raw I knew he was crying but, I wouldn't say anything, My Pack needed me. " Thanks man" he replies sniffling.

He moves back first, wiping his face with his t-shirt, I give him a moment to collect himself.

" Welcome Beta, do you accept? "

He clears his throat looks at me with determination in his eyes.

"Yes, Alpha"

both man and wolf reply.

Bella

Carlisle was the only one who stayed calm. Centuries of experience in the emergency room were evident in his quiet, authoritative voice.

" Emmett, Rose get Jasper outside. Unsmiling for once, Emmett nodded. " Come on. Jasper."

Jasper struggled against Emmett's grasp, twisting around, teeth bared and eyes still past reason. Edward's face was whiter than bone as he crouched over me, taking a defensive position. a low growl slid from his clenched teeth i could tell he wasn't breathing and that strangely disgusted me.

Rosalie, her divine face smug, stepped in front of Jasper and helped Emmett wrestle him through glass door that Esme held open, one hand pressed over her mouth and nose probably to keep herself from sinking her teeth into my flesh and I've never been more terrified.

Esme's heart shaped face was ashamed " I'm so sorry Bella" She cried through her still covered mouth as she followed the others into the yard.

" Let me by, Edward" Carlisle murmured. Edward hesitated for a second then nodding to himself stepped back. Carlisle knelt by me, leaning close to examine my arm,i could feel the shock frozen on my face and i tried to compose it.

" Here Carlisle" Alice handed him a towel, he shook his head" too much glass in the wounds." I could feel the blood, hot and burning running down my back ruining my t shirt.

He reached over and ripped a long, thin scrap from the bottom of the white tablecloth. He twisted it around my arm above the elbow. The shock was wearing off, allowing the metallic smell of blood to penetrate my nose, it was making me dizzy. my ears ringing.

" Bella," Carlisle says softly. " Do you want me to drive you to the hospital, or would you rather me take care of it?" " Hospital please, I think my ribs are cracked" I whisper. I was about to have a panic attack, the walls were closing in. I needed to get out of this house, full of vampires and one little human, bleeding.

Love is dangerous.

I look at Edward " I'm fine." My voice reasonably steady which surprised me.

Edward's face was stone. " Just go, Edward" I sighed. " I can handle it" he insisted but his eyes burned with the intensity of the thirst he fought, and I shivered in fear, I shouldn't have to fear my boyfriend.

" Get some fresh air, I'll be fine I have Charlie." I said I wince at the pain in my ribs when I took a deep breath. " No, I'll stay with you" He declares, doesn't he realize that I don't want him near me when I'm like this? doesn't he realize that I don't want his teeth to sink into my flesh ever again?

" I need a human moment" I tell him for the first time admitting that this was too much, for the first time saying this other than when I needed to go to the bathroom.

He looks at me with eyes full of anguish and betrayal.

I knew, for the first time I've rejected Edward and this choice would change everything.

Author note!

Why didn't Paul know the legends of cold ones?

The council members knew the legends but, choose to keep that one from the public to protect the packs from being discovered. Yes, I know they're not supposed to tell outsiders but look what Jacob did? So that's why they don't even tell their tribe.

Why did Paul cry?

Paul was crying because not only did his father leave him, although abusive still his father but now he's a wolf and Vampiree are real. But when Sam reaches out to him , hugs him and offers him Beta it gains Paul's loyality and trust. Paul has always been alone has always wanted a brother and now he has one.

What did Bella mean by " Human moment"?

She used to tell Edward this when she needed to change or go to the bathroom bc you know humans do that lol. But this time when she says this what she means is " I need to get away from vampires and that includes you" lol.

The time frames are different by the way,

Bella is still at the party it's the night of her birthday meanwhile Sam is at the next morning js and the time frame is going to be different when he finds her

Also, I take a lot of the dialog from the actual book because I don't want it to be OOC.

Up next, Edwards leaves Bella, she get sick but why?

And Sam knew the elders weren't telling him everything and he was determined to find out everything!

Bye!
