Chapter 8

I pull into my driveway noticing two cars and Jakes truck in the driveway, jeez is he throwing a party?
Walking into my house I see a five over-grown boys, and one girl. These guys are very big, like scary big. Jeez does the La Push water have something in it.

Jake waves at me hi, so I wave back then my leg gets tackled by Chris.

"Hey sweetie" I say hugging him closer to me,

"Wolves" Chris says and points to Jake and his friends.

I look up to them once again; Jake and the rest of their eyes that are on us are wide. Great they are wolves. Wait, shape shifter wolves, like in Billy's stories.

"It's ok hun they won't hurt us" I say trying to calm him down, it does very little though.

"Sorry Bella I should have warned you, but Billy had to leave early and um" He stumbles to explain, I look around not seeing Billy, and I wonder why Billy didn't tell me.

"No its cool, but I would like to be introduced to the strangers in my living room" I smile warmly at everyone, hoping it relieves them of their very awkward stance. It seems to work they relax a bit, but not Chris, he stands in front of me as to protect me.

"Oh sorry um this is Sam" Jake points to the largest boy, though he seems more like he is in his early twenties. He is also the biggest, and tallest among them, it looks like Jake is getting close though.

Next to Sam is the only girl, she looks angry, her hair is short, too short for a girl to have, and its black just like the rest of the group.

"Leah"

A big beefy boy, with a smile playing at his lips, though he seems to be the shortest among the group, and practically the beefiest, besides Sam,

"Quil" Jacob points to another kid, whom I would describe as kind of dangly, yet cute, he could be related to Leah.

"Seth, Leah's brother" Yep, I was right.

This kid is tall but still shorter than Jake, but about as beefy as him,

"Embry"

Last but not least, he is tall as Jake, but not beefy like him, is a little smaller than Quil. "Paul"

"It's so nice to meet you all" I say, wow amazing, never thought I would have a wolf pack in my living room.

"So you guys are shape shifters?" I ask nonchalantly.

"No werewolves" Leah says rudely.

"No, shape shifters that turn to over sized wolves, I have seen the real werewolves." I spit, angry that she would talk to me like that in my own house.

She starts to shake, Sam touches her, and it seems to help her shaking. Somewhere deep down something tells me that I should be scared but I'm not. I guess when you see a man's skin shred in front of you then a little shaking really doesn't do it for you.

I look around trying to spot my little girl, why hasn't she come to say hi, I finally spot her next to Seth. Seth is looking at her in awe, and something else, it's making me feel uncomfortable.

Jake must notice me staring at Seth and Piper; he smacks Seth in the back of the head.

"Oww dude!" Seth yells looking at Jake, whom gestures his head towards me, Seth's face falls.

"Piper, come to me please" Piper smiles and comes to me; I pick her up and hug her. I don't take my eyes off of Seth. He looks a little hurt but they way he looks at my daughter. Seth looks at here like a man who has just seen the sun for the first time.

"How do you know about us?" Sam's ruff voice breaks the silence.

"Billy told me some stories, and I heard him tell the kids too. Last night he told me about the cold ones, trying to persuade me that it's just legend but I didn't fall for it that easily. So the Cullen's are vampires and so there is need to be wolves to protect the land" Putting Piper down she goes and touches Chris, he turns to her and then growls.

"Chris!" I scowl.

"Seth, stay away" Chris commands turning to Seth pointing his little finger at him.

I look at the group, who are staring at Chris with stunned expressions.

"Chris, Piper go to your rooms, I want to talk to our guests." I say. I need them in their rooms because I don't want them to be in the room when I get to the bottom of this, whatever this is.

They go, mostly unwillingly, I can't believe how advance they are getting, and my two year olds are acting like 7 year olds.

I wait to hear the door shut, when I turn back to them and wait, giving them the stare down. What is the stare down well, it is when I stare at them with a waiting expression till one of them cracks.

After a good five minutes of listening to the clock tick Jake breaks.

"Bella it's not what you think"

"Explain" I say in a firm voice, it reminds me of my father.

Sam begins to tell me what happen, Seth imprinted on Piper, and then he explained what imprinting is. It's when they find their soul mate. They can't stop themselves from doing it. But right now Seth doesn't see her as something romantic, nothing perverted just like an older brother. Their affections will change as she grows up and her feelings change for him.

I don't know how to really feel about this. I guess I'll just add it to the pile of stuff I have building up. I should just look at is a protector for her. At least I know if he finds us that Piper will be safe and since Chris is linked to Piper he will be safe also.

I sit down on the couch and put my head in my hands; I don't want my children in this world. Even if they are werewolves, I still don't want them to go through this. But what could I do now, it's too late.

"Well, it seems like Piper knows and so does Chris." I say thinking about how he reacted after Piper touched him. How he yelled at Seth.

"I'm sorry I just" Seth tries to apologize but he doesn't have anything to apologize for it's not as if he could have stopped it.

"No need to Seth, I just was hoping to keep them sheltered from all this mythical creature stuff till they got older, but it looks a little too late."

"How did Piper know?" Paul asks.

"I don't know, I don't know how they know, or how they do the things they do. They do have werewolf in them." Oh freaking great I slipped. Why do I even care, it's not as if they are normal or wouldn't have found out eventually.

"Yeah anyway, so it's ok if we come here and hang?" Jacob asks.

"Yeah that's cool" I answer him. They go back to whatever they were walking about before my interruption and I head upstairs to my children's room. I don't know what to say to them, I mean do they know they are special will they understand what they are?

I go into the kid's room. Chris is sitting at his desk coloring and Piper is on the floor playing with her Barbies.

"Hey you guys" I greet them.

"Hey mama" Piper says.

Chris just smiles.

"Hey Chris come down here with Piper" I say taking a seat next to Piper on the floor. Chris easily hops off of his chair and takes a seat close to me.

"Do you guys know what is going on?" I ask, might as well see what they actually know and understand.

"Seth is a wolf and he claims Piper" Chris says angrily are the idea.

"No silly he imprinted on me and he will take care of me and love me till we die, which will be never." Piper corrects him.

I sigh. I guess I should be amazed or even in awe. But it just feels so normal to me, like I have known that they just knew things.

I know you guys know more than normal two year olds, I also know you are gifted." I smile warmly at my two beautiful children; oh I how I wish I could just save them from this horrible fate, this knowledge that can take away from them just being children. Piper and Chris look at each other.

"Mama, why are we special?" Chris asks.

It catches me off guard, how do I tell them? Will they even understand?

"We understand lots." Piper says.

Great she can read minds, Chris sees the future, I think, and they read each other's minds through touch. That is what I am thinking anyway.

"Your father is a werewolf, a very bad. Not like the ones down stairs." I look into their eyes to see how much they comprehend.

"The man you dreamed about" Chris says, how does he know, he must have more than just the ability to see the future.

"He was part of the packed, but not your father."

"Then he is the one coming to get us" Piper says.

"I don't know"

Piper's eyes so green, Chris's so brown, my twins, my life.
