Chapter 5: Return to the Past and the Flight to Forks
Friday-January 10th 2008
After arriving I saw I was in my bedroom, and everything was where it was supposed to be as I saw the computer my mother had gotten me the year before and everything I was bringing with me laying around the room, in boxes, as I got ready to ship them to my father's house. "Alright what's the date exactly, when am I?" I whispered to myself and moved to the calendar on the wall and saw it was the day Jacob and Billy came to see me when they brought the truck, saw my stuff lying on the bed and smiled as I looked out the window, and realized I ended up in my mother's house.
"Flying to Forks is one thing, but I forgot how cold it is up there, it's not going to be easy living there." I heard my voice say and turned around to answer that version of me. "Not at first, but trust me it gets better, this is the one chance you have to really connect with Charlie, Isabella." I said and she looked at me in shock. "How do you know what I'm thinking and who are you?" she asked and I closed the door then.
"I'm you from twenty months into the future Bella, where you're going your life takes a change your mother, or I should say our mother, was preparing us for, our lives were destined for more, our parent's friends are the leaders of the reservation, in order to change your life for the better, I'm giving you my memories, they'll help with what's going to be coming." I said and she nodded to that with a confused look at that.
"How exactly, you can't flash them into my head?" she asked and I smiled. "I think we're supposed to merge with each other, I'm in your body, but you got my memories of everything that happened when you moved to Olympia." I said and she nodded as I put my hand out she took it and I felt a jolt go through me as I saw a flash of light appear.
With the jolt I took then I knew my body was de-aging a year as I felt a massive jolt of strength and energy go through me at the feeling as the sensation wear off. 'You hear me Bella?' I asked, but got no answer. 'Bella, can you hear me.' I asked again, 'What the hell happened here, I thought I was winding up in my younger body, not destroying my past self this way?' I asked in shock, before hearing a new voice answer me.
'With time frame jumps like this, once the older version connects to the younger version that version is now suppressed.' the voice said and I nodded as I sat down at my desk. 'In other words I just hijacked my own body, I send the other messages to my friends and loved ones, and I then merge into the body of my past self, destroying that version of me, I'm now the only version inside my body. What now?' I asked and she answered.
"As this version of you starts changing this, they're going to feel the changes in the process, so you're going to be in this body, but have your memories of your timeline, once the time comes, I'm going to send Renee, but that's going to be the following winter, just run this in the same way till the night of the baseball game, after it shifts courses and William, Daniel, Susan and the boys are intervening that night, as things shift directions from there." she said and I nodded as I refocused as I saw the injuries on my body and knew they were going to be the result and marks of my time hanging around with Edward in my original timeline.
With the fact I lived through it once, it wasn't going to be easy doing it again, but my body wasn't going to take any more injuries as a result of his arrogance. I was in the body of my seventeen year old self, but with the memories of the last twenty months, and with that knowledge I was protecting everyone I cared about and destroying the ten vampires that nearly destroyed me, physically, mentally and emotionally.
'No matter what Edward, you're not getting into my head or screwing with my life, try it again and I'm killing you myself, along with that trio and the red eyed demons that nearly killed my family.' I thought with a growl in my mental voice as I waited for my current self and the spirits to deliver the messages to my friends and family and it get started since my flight was two that afternoon and it was a three hour flight to Seattle.
'Okay, write down everything I remember of the events leading up to the baseball game, and then get ready it's going to be a long day." I thought as I checked the clock on my bedside stand then, and it was 8:30 in the morning and I was supposed to get there at five that night, and meet up with the Blacks after Uncle Billy got off work that night.
My godfather and the council were the first to get the news and my new alpha and pack were the next and if Rose got the letter I sent her it was going to help in fixing our bonds and we'd be the friends we should have been this entire time. 'Okay I start school and I meet my sextet one by one, till we come together at lunch, be a normal kid and we can joke around, I introduce a new suggestion for our prom that year, and get the girls to fill me in on the quintet when I see them and run my first test by checking each clue."
'Starting with his bloodlust, and then mess around with my friends during that week, number two is getting a better look at his eyes in biology class, and continue down the line as it gets started.' I thought as rearranged a few thing in my pack, grabbed several books and put them into my bag and then stuck a photo of the family into it as a book mark, the photo was of me, dad and the quartet pack together when I was ten.
'One things for sure, I need to change my attitude on this, I'm not that other version any more, I'm a ready to be made omega and I'm ready to face my destiny, look out you parasites, you're getting taken down, by the grand-daughter of the original omega, mess with me and you're toast.' I thought with a smirk on my face as I looked at my wrist and felt my shock. "Oh no, I can't let her see that, she does and she's going to know I'm not her version." I said softly and dug out my sweat wrist band and wrapped it around it, to cover up the scar, so nobody, but my inner circle sees it.
"Okay with the fact I'm going to be in the coldest and rainiest part of the state, I'm not getting exposed, because, I'm wearing long sleeved shirts and jackets up there, act like a normal teenager and make friends with the sextet, and just let the trio start the playing around on the first day, okay if I remember right, Bentley was P.E., Banner was biology class, Hanson was World Geography, Peterson was language courses, and Coach Anderson taught Math class, while Janson taught English class, and with that."
"I'm the new kid in school and they're going to see a side of the chief's daughter, they're going to get a shock out of when they get to know me, screw the new kid demeanor, I'm acting like a normal teenager now, Forks is my hometown, and I'm protecting it and my bloodlines with my life now." I said softly with a determined tone then, before I heard a voice call out from the bedroom across the hall then. "Honey you almost ready to go?" I heard my mother call out and I smiled. 'Time to get to work.' I thought as I answered.
"Yeah my stuff's packed, but I'm sending my stuff ahead, before I take my bags on the plane here." I called back and she came into the room. "Are you sure you want to see your father, and not come with us?" she asked and I nodded. "Yeah I do, it's time for me to return to Forks, time to go home, home is with you and dad, but I'm returning to my hometown now, I know what I'm facing, but I haven't seen Uncle Billy in years and I want to see him, Uncle Harry and Aunt Sue again." I said and she nodded to that.
Looking at the nine laying on the bed with me I picked up Tala and put him in my arms and lap. "Two sets I had one for both of you and with that, I'm getting the nine out of storage and they're going back on display in my room again. But he, Shadow, Goldie Brown and Storm are back on the bed. Cocoa, Stripes, Val and Orangie are guarding my window seat later." I said and she smiled at that as I went further then smiling.
"The memory's faded a bit, but I remember what they looked like on hunter duty mom, I don't doubt the trio got started as well by this point. So with that, with us being young adults, I need the guys now, but I have both packs protecting me now and I can reinforce the bonds I have with my pack now. Don't worry I know what I'm facing out there and I'm ready mom, don't worry mom, I'll be okay." I added and she nodded.
"Hey Cub, I'm looking forward to you returning to the den tonight, we missed you." I heard and looked down to see the seven looking up at me at that. "Guys?!" Mom said in shock and Red nodded his head as Goldie said it for him as he and Brown moved from their spots. "Yeah Renee, it's us, we've been looking forward to this since we got the news cub was coming home." Goldie said to her with a smile in his eyes.
"Now I know those stories you told me were true, but I didn't think you could possess stuffed animals that looked like you guys, but it's great to see you again finally. Goldie how long would it take to get your human back on duty exactly. Because dad needs a stronger omega for his case, and you're about to start training me?" I asked and he explained that to me as I saw the quartet move closer to us then.
"If I get myself checked out at the vet, just short of two months, but I need to change my diet and start taking blood pressure pills. But other then that, just short of two months. But I have to get Sunny back up there so you have both of us till Sandy and my cub version activate." he said and I nodded. "Leah and Seth, alright gotcha." I said and they nodded as mom switched subjects at that.
"Anna said Sam and Jared both activated for some reason, as did Paul, so with that in mind if he starts to lose it calm him down, before he explodes all at once okay, our abilities as the advisor act as the buffer to their tempers, so use that." she said and I nodded to that. "Yeah well if these look like these guys it's knowing them when I se them now at the moment tomorrow for the welcome back party I know they're planning."
"No problem though mom, whatever caused them to get started I'm probably going to be finding it at the high school next week, but I'm doing cross examination like you and dad taught me, out of curiosity why don't I remember that I chose Jake, before we're about to see each other?" I asked and she smiled slightly. "The soulmate connections go a little haywire when you're young, once you see each other face to face, their spirit wolves activate and the relationship begins till they're ready to start hunter training."
"With the fact you're about to get started as the omega, you just get your relationship into place, he's fifteen, so he's got another year, before he gets started, in the mean time just rebuild your bonds with the gang, and we get the familial quintet in place earlier so we don't have a problem here, but I need to know what's going on up there if the trio got started so tell me when you get there okay." she said and I nodded again.
"If this means trouble I'd like to what made the seven stopped phasing, we shouldn't have retired when you were nine, because every time the council does the trouble always gets started up there, and now your brothers have gone active for some reason I need to know about, whatever questions you have to ask, if your stepfather is in the room, with me, put the privacy line up on our messages to each other."
"Now I'm making it clear here, but if these murders are not some wild animal, but our kind of trouble, I don't want you doing anything reckless is that clear." she said sternly and I nodded to that. "I won't mom I promise, with fact I'm going to be around the guys all the time, I think I'll be finding out pretty soon here." I said and she nodded. "Your telepathy connection to the boys and your uncles is going to be slightly rusty so it's going to bounce it back forth from you to their wolves and back for a while."
"Here I made this for you baby." she said and tied a clan bracelet around my wrist as I saw the colors in my bracelet and smiled as I read them out. "Us, the Blacks, the Uleys, the Trueharts and the Clearwaters, I didn't forget, and I'm relearning our histories, don't worry mom, I'm not leaving you no matter what, I know what I am, I'm Quileute and I take total pride in it." I said and she smiled and gave me a hug.
"If you remember your original calling, time to put it to use baby, you're filling in for me till I come see them okay." she said and I nodded. "No problem mom, I know the trio probably started now, I'm taking my position as Sam's advisor till Jake gets started, in the mean time, I'm running my original studies." I said and she smiled softly. "I'm proud of you baby, take care of your father for me okay." she said and I nodded to that.
"Mom why did you retire exactly, I know the guys are going to start training me, but why did you decide to retire?" I asked and she sighed. "It was after your grandmother died my abilities started going haywire baby. As for Eric, it was after Sarah was killed in the accident he left to get his head together." she said and I nodded as I answered her, before I could though I heard his voice answer that and I heard a bemused tone in it.
"I know you miss me Renee, but what's going on, I can feel somethings up at home?" he asked and we both turned at that and I saw Candy moving around on his own. "Eric, what the heck are you doing here, I didn't think you could this?" she said in shocked delight and I smiled in amazement as he answered her. "Cocoa shoved his influence into the stuffed version of myself, Renee, so I could come see you."
"Hey baby girl, boy have you grown, how are you doing?" he asked and I smiled. "I'm doing fine thanks Uncle Eric, any idea who the trio were that you took out exactly, because the injuries are still enough to get the attention of my friends right now. And just why the heck did I activate all at once?" I asked and he sighed. "Our magic only goes on line if there's vampires around and I think that's why your cousins."
"And Paul activated now, did Sally say anything about this yet?" he asked and I sighed. "Who was the vampire clan that our tribe made the treaty with, because it's possibly them who came back and caused the guys and me to activate all at once?" I asked and she answered that with a growl. "It was the Cullen clan, and once was enough right now, grandma's bloodline had to be protected and frankly I'm still pissed at that."
"Just to protect our secret I didn't have to tell the ten to take them out, but you're lucky to be alive at the moment, and to protect you from that, again, we have to get Beth back up there. But Sally told me Sam dropped out of college when he activated at the time. Jared and Paul also just activated, and if it keeps up like this. Then the sextet and Embry are next, Eric you better get back up there, but I'm coming home next Christmas."
"So Billy is back on the job and as for Harry, he's got cub duty now, but to answer the unasked question here is you guys and your sister. Though aside from Embry, you guys are matched to us as your adult versions. Jesse has four years to wait, but your toy pack are really your brothers, in their cub, 10 to 12 year old cub form. The stage your seeing your brothers now is their teenage form and by the time you hit 25 years old."
"Your brothers, Jake and Leah are looking like the ten as adults in wolf form." she said and I nodded to her. "So what's dad's opinion going to be when he learns the truth exactly, that he married into the pack exactly?" I asked and Eric answered that. "He's not going to care once he sees us in wolf form, honey. But whatever Josh tells you later, I'm repeating it right now, but stay out of the woods for now."
"And here's the added catch though, but only the true alpha, or the true alpha's father, can command the omega, but if Cullen, the oldest of the trio. But if he falls in love with you, it's not happening, because you're already engaged to my nephew. But Reddy's going to activate the second you hug him, because he knows that his imprint and omega are back now finally and with that."
"I'm just saying this for the eleven of us, but if you choose its of your own free will now, there's going to be no tug a war for your affections. With the fact you're seeing the guys tonight, you'll know us when you see us baby, because you're seeing us as you remember us now. But Josh and I are the darkest furred wolves in the pack." he said and I nodded as I answered him at that.
"Then I guess you're still ticked these guys just barely missed killing me when we were ten, huh?" I asked and they both nodded. "We were hoping you weren't going to activate, because we didn't want you having to live your lives stuck in Olympia having to go through this repeatedly, baby. When I heard that you were at the hospital for taking those added scratches to your arm, I was beyond furious at that at the time."
"Alright just why do you have that wristband wrapped around your wrist exactly?" she asked and I sighed. "It's covering the added scars, because the one that dad jumped bit me in the wrist after gouging me in the arm, mom. But for the pack, it's a death sentence to attack us anyway, and these guys signed their death warrant when they attacked me." I said and they both nodded as she sighed as he answered me.
"Yeah no kidding, baby, if your friends ask, just tell them the truth, but improvise that truth regarding this. But we can't have the leadership finding out your family is back or we're screwed here, so whatever you do, he tries to use them to kill himself. Do not, I repeat, do not go after him, or you're exposing us and your maternal family to the leadership." he said and I nodded to the orders.
"Is there a reason, aside from it being hereditary, that Uncle Josh's fur is jet black though, because that's the piece I never could figure out?" I asked and he nodded softly. "It's reflecting the inner person of who we are, for Josh, it's trying to separate being the wolf from himself. And Shadow imprinted on Amy, though he was married to Sally, and unfortunately Sam is dealing with it himself right now. "
"But that doesn't mean he can't be shared between the girls, Leah was meant to be the mate of another werewolf, and one their age no less. But though their relationship is over they were friends first, before they became a couple and he got started." he said before I heard another voice answer that, with a gentle tone. "He's right baby, I've decided that with this issue regarding Smokey."
"I'm taking up being the father to the boys and though Sally and I are divorced, I still love her with all my heart. Though Shadow imprinted on Amy, so we fix this catch and drop the news to Embry he's my son. But two mates and two cubs, I'm not thinking twice about this. But the girls can share me now, but can you tell the guys that I'm coming home, baby." I heard and quickly turned at that.
As I saw Smokey moving around as well and I smiled in delight. "Uncle Josh, yeah sure I can tell the others, but you think it would be best to get the guys back on duty. But you've all been doing this for 30 years and it's best we have our mentors training us in this. You said we were matched to you guys as our adult versions, but the guys are afraid of what my reaction is going to be when I see them later now."
"But I couldn't care less what you are, wolf, human, I love you guys in either form, you raised me, I'm not letting go now. But it's not what you are, but what you do that makes a difference now. So though you have the build of a weight lifter, it's enough that you look dangerous and you're not, them on the other hand here. It's they don't look dangerous and they are, appearances can be deceiving and that was the point now."
"In the Outsiders, we're slight middle class, but I choose my own species, human, and wolf, but wolves with wolves, lions with lions, he's a lion, I'm a wolf. I choose my own kind, I'm not thinking twice about this, but the guys get to me first tomorrow night and it's over in his case. Because I heard the legends long before I laid eyes on him and I'm pack and I stay pack." I said and they smiled at that remark as she answered me.
"That's not a bad idea, we get the guys to get to you first and it's over before it even starts, alright, if the guys activated yet, I'm telling them to reactivate, tonight. So this way you have protection by my pack, and the guys and I have you in a normal schedule. But in school you're with your new friends and afterwards, you're with your pack, and mine and this sets up the normal schedule until we find out who's doing the killing."
"But to repeat his remark, stay out of the woods baby." she said and I nodded. "Yeah my god parents are the Blacks and Clearwaters, to them it's the parental quartet act now with dad. Should we, when you guys come home, just drop the act and tell him the truth regarding you guys?" I asked and they exchanged looks and nodded. "Yeah, you're holding my position till I come up for Christmas, but starting now you're doing things."
"My orders, for me, but if the Cullens are back, then I'm recommending an added change here to this, but to get them to relax in public here. They're going to have to hunt at night and bring it to the school and hospital with them and start eating human food again. So they can pass themselves off more easily and we can prevent an outburst if one of them was a red eyed turned gold eye." she said and I nodded to the suggestion.
"Mom why did 'our' clan get banished from the reservation?" I asked and she sighed. "My grandmother married a pale face when she was twenty, from there it started circulating from generation to generation, I met your father when we were sixteen, we spent twelve years together, before my mother passed away and I retired from my advisor duties."
"But I never gave up my heritage, Sally and Anna did most of my training for me and you've got my blood in you, if whatever's going on up there keeps up and Jake starts, he's your exact match, you belong to him." she said and I nodded. "Well I've made my choice, no matter what any other boy says, I belong to Jake, I'm taken already. Quick question, do these soulmate connections not care that your mate is two years to young adult when you find them?" I asked and she sighed a second time as she answered that.
"Half the time it's genetics, others it's not caring whatsoever who it selects, you're seventeen, but though he's sixteen, he's in the body of a twenty five year old and you stay like that, physically, yourself till you decide to retire, so just get your relationship into place, before it activates completely, he loves you and is not giving you up."
"Issues of our abilities result in unexpected jolts of telekinesis, when you lose your temper or get so aggravated you can't control it, so with that in mind, try to keep your temper like they do, the last thing we need is somebody getting smacked in the head with something when nobody threw it okay." she said and I chuckled. "I take it that happened to you once or twice?" I asked and she nodded with a smile.
"Yeah I was bit ticked off at Eric once and it threw a pillow at him from the couch, he dodged it, but it hit him on the rebound, before landing itself back on the sofa at Billy's house at the time." she said and I started laughing at that. "Yeah and I know I deserved that Renee, but we were just Cubs at the time, so cut me a break here, would you." Eric said to her and Josh and I started laughing at that remark.
"Hopefully we can keep you and your brothers from going at it, but get it under control, because I'm not taking another hit to the head later." Josh added with a smile in his voice. "Alright we better take your stuff to the post office and ship it to our house, your father's getting off work at 4:30, so he'll pick you at the airport tonight." she said and I nodded as we left, grabbed the boxes and left the room.
Billy Black
I've been waiting for my God-daughter to come home for weeks after I got the news that she was moving back to Forks, since it was only a matter of time before the path was made clear to her, I loved her like she was my own daughter and I knew Harry thought the same way about her, since he was her other guardian, his wife, Sue, was her godmother, and together the four of us had raised her when she came to visit every year.
With the fact she was coming back for good it meant we'd get a chance to rebuild our bonds with her and have a chance to tell her everything on her background. As I was thinking this I looked at the other elders of the tribe, Harry Clearwater, Quil Ateara Senior, and the other five elders, three men, two women, and the duo were the mothers of two of the pack, Sam Uley and Jared Trueheart, who were the alpha and beta in the pack, with what we were about to do for her, they'd really get overly protective of her.
"Harry, our families have been friends for forty years, if we have any chance to protect her now that she arriving today, its time to tell Charlie and Bella the truth about our grandfathers and what we are." I told him and he nodded. "How so son?" Quil asked and I gently explained it to him then. "If she bumps into Cullen in school, we could have a serious problem, but it might be best to reinsert ourselves back into her life now, than if they accidentally blow their covers papa, especially if he tries to trigger an altercation with the boys in the pack, if she gets hurt." I told him and he nodded in agreement.
"That might work actually, didn't you say Jake was rebuilding your truck for her?" he asked and I nodded as I thought over the fact my son was now a skilled mechanic at fifteen years old and getting better at it every day now. "Yes, Charlie bought if off me as a home-coming present for her, so Jake and I'll go see her this afternoon, so that will help out slightly, but either way if one of them gets too close too her, it could put her in danger if these kills are what I'm thinking here." I told him and he nodded as he said my thoughts out loud for the entire parental pack than.
"Thank god he and Quil put in a hand brake into your secondary truck when you were recovering from the car accident the last four years, though you're paraplegic, it's doesn't mean you're not still able to drive, but to get back to it, it's we got one of three things running around the woods and whatever it is it means we need to be on the lookout, because with her just returning, she's not going to remember what to look for."
"Either these are really animal kills or we got a bunch of red eyes running around the territory." Quil said and I nodded in agreement. "Who was killed anyway?" Joseph White asked and I explained it to him. "Charlie said it was a construction worker, evidently he got attacked at the construction site and bears don't run into a suburb either like this, so these are definitely human drinkers we're dealing with, and probably more than one." I said to him and he nodded as she sighed in exasperation as she answered me.
"That's just great, if he gets attracted to her, that could turn her into a magnet for these red eyed parasites." Sally Uley said and I nodded in agreement to that. "Anna, Sally we have to tell her your connection to her, with Renee sight seeing she needs a mother figure and you, Sue and Anna could take care of that while my trio be her father and paternal guardians." I said and they both nodded in agreement as Harry answered that.
"At this age, any parasite, human or otherwise, who tries to hurt her and if they do it the guys and I will be the one to remove a limb, especially Cullen, I may be retired, but that doesn't change the fact I still see her as that little girl we watched grow up, Josh and Daniel hear she's caught the eye of our gold eye counterparts and they're going to be pissed at that, it's been five years, and she's just beginning remember what we are to her, but forgot everything we taught her, before she comes home today."
"If he or one of their red eyed counterparts or even a human parasite touches her and I'm killing them myself, we watched her grow up Billy, we can't take that chance of him falling in love with her, she's half Quileute, her place is here." he said and I nodded in agreement as Joe answered that with a firm look. "How long have you known each other exactly, if you're acting like Charlie when it come to her?" he asked and I explained it.
"The Swans, Blacks and Clearwaters have been friends for three generations, so she decided to come back to her roots, on top of the fact Charlie was and is our best friend and we're a trio for life, Daniel and Josh finished our gang three years later when we started middle school and Renee met Charlie when we activated at the time, with the three of us first, before the quintet started phasing, because Josh and I started first."
"Charlie named me her godfather and Sue is her godmother when she was born, but with the fact she spent every summer here this was normal for her, every time she came to visit, she's always with us during a family get together, but it's been five years, thanks to Renee moving around too much, with her and current husband on the road, Bella decided to move back permanently, so we're back in her life for good now."
"But once Harry and I are back in her life, by accidental contact or just our dropping by and she sees us, that starts the transition, if she starts her training again, before she and the trio see each other, before she takes her position as the human leader of the pack, Jake is her mate, though Emily is currently the head female in the pack, Bella is the alpha's mate, and the girls listen to her, she and Jacob are the head of the pack and Sam and Emily are next in command." I said and he nodded to that as Harry finished it.
"Renee is the reckless side of her, but she's more like Charlie than she knows, once she and the boys are back together, that triggers the full transformation and she's not going to leave at all, because my daughter was the sister she was closest to growing up out of the girls and with both her adoptive siblings, her cousins, and her mate here, she's not going to want to leave." Harry added and he nodded to that explanation.
"How many families have that gene in their veins here?" he asked and Adam and Quil sighed as Adam answered that."Eighty percent, in other words if we wind up with a serious fight or the leadership shows up the entire town will be over run, and the boys are going to have a pack of up to twenty or thirty wolves running around the woods and property." he said and I nodded to I could answer a letter dropped out of no where and Harry quickly grabbed it, and read through it in shock, before we got his attention.
"Who's it addressed to Harry?" Anna Trueheart asked and he quickly answered that as I saw the look of disbelief in his eyes as he answered her. "To us actually, listen to this., you're not going to believe this, but it's in her handwriting, whatever's going on is going to mean she knows already." he said and Joe went into it. "Don't hold out on us Harry, what's it say exactly?" he asked and he took a deep breath and read it out to us.
'Dear elders if you're reading this, you know the situation is about to get dangerous soon enough, within two months your worst fears come to light, the only way to protect her and Charlie is by letting her live on the reservation, and telling Sam the truth he needs to know, she's going to get used to it so don't worry, considering you showed her you were those wolves.'
'I'm going to just drop the bomb here, but this is Bella from eighteen months into the future from another time line, if we changes things now I remain human and I grow up where I'm supposed to be, dad, it's time to tell me the original information on my station, I've got my bracelets, but need to know the most crucial portions of my history, because this version of me is a magnet for every red eyed leach running loose and I need to know why that is."
'So with that get ready, because the situation hits the danger zone in two months the week I run into the parasites causing these murders right now, give Charlie a show and tell that night with the guys, but I need to see the five of you back on active duty again, with what's coming up next and here's why.'
'Elders you may be retired, but these parasites are more dangerous than you think, and you need to reactivate, the more wolves, the less chance of someone getting hurt, because they got cocky or worse, you've got more skill, and with every new wolf phasing you can train the guys in between each encounter."
'It doesn't matter to me what you are though, you're my family, wolf or no wolf, and that is part of the problem, Edward Cullen sees you as nothing but a danger to me, I'm neutral, all I see are you and them, I've made my choice and I choose you, I'm staying human, but the minute I explain this to him, he becomes obsessed with getting me back from Charlie, you and Jake.'
'In fact he goes crazy when he sees the type of connection I've got with Jake and the pack, and you, I've made my choice already, I'm Quileute, no matter what he says I'm marrying into the tribe and I choose the pack, the tribe and a human life, no matter what happens we're redirecting events to protect the tribe, and we need to take him out and here is the reason why, because for my sake it's going to get dangerous, like your original thoughts of them."
'Edward Cullen is a threat to my and the tribe's existence, we need to get rid of it, before it wipes us out, the others are safe, but he loses his mind when I make it clear who I belong to, do whatever you have to, but don't let your guards down in his case, he's going to keep it up when I let him have it for his attitude towards you, later on two weeks into my time back home.'
'Give me two months to readjust to being back with my pack and then the day that it starts drop the bomb to Charlie, and have the guys in place to bring me back to your house dad, so you and Harry can tell Carlisle that we're ready, don't worry I'm not leaving you without a fight dad, just do whatever's necessary, dad's not going to care anyway, in fact he said it himself, he'd prefer a werewolf for a future son-in-law to a vampire and with that I've made my choice here, and Jake is who I choose, I'm reactivating when I come home.'
'This letter sets the date you and Jacob came back into my life dad, so between now and the baseball game which is when your red eyes start, I'm going to just fake pretenses with Edward till we pull the plug and I come home for good here, and that is when the situation gets started as far as wiping the four out.'
'Everyone, most, if not all, the histories are fact, so with that, get ready, because killing the mate to a vampire causes a massacre. Harry you should know now that the gene in your family hit both genders, so in which case Leah finds her mate a couple years later, so don't be surprised when she changes, and get yourself checked out, I'm not losing you as well, it won't be long before we rebuild our bonds, but I'm not losing you now.'
''I love you guys, see you soon.' he read and we looked at each other in shock, as the word 'dad' flashed through my mind and I knew if she was calling me that than I knew she spoke to that version of me before coming back to our timeline, as I thought this Anna looked at us to say what the six of us were all thinking.
"God talk about information overload, she knows about us already and she's starting right after she gets back, with my son and the duo, Charlie is going to lose it when we tell him the truth Bill." Anna told me and I nodded. "I don't think we got a choice she's starting school in three days, if he gets attracted to her scent, and if she runs into those parasites the parasite loses his mind, because she chose us when we get to her first."
"That does it, screw the treaty, if necessary we put one of the boys at her school before that happens, because from the way she wrote that, whoever the parasite that killed that worker is, they're a danger to the entire peninsula and if this keeps up it could kill her, we do whatever is necessary here to protect her." I said and they nodded to that one as Joe answered me in shocked disbelief at her suggestion.
"Reactivate, she thinks Jack, Adam, Daniel, Elliot and I should start phasing again, we've had maybe five or six come through since we were seventeen and twenty more in the twenty years since, alright we need to run a test, but if it works the adult pack is back in action." Joe said and we nodded. "Leah, how could it hit her, wait a minute, Harry, I think your gene pointed out the fact while the guys are fighting, she's got more speed on her in wolf form, but that doesn't make sense right now if she's also activating."
"I thought the gene hit the male side of the family papa?" I asked and Quil sighed as he answered me. "There have been two or three of the wolf tribes that have she-wolves in it that protect their alphas mate, and it looks like we just got added to the list William, if that's the reason she's phasing, while she's got us and the boys for protection, Leah's her personal bodyguard, but this could mean her mother's genes just kicked in, and her omega abilities just reactivated now, and that's reason number two in Leah's case."
"Leah's her new body guard, Harold, you need to get your pride under control and get yourself checked out, because seeing her change could cause a heart attack, and I'm not risking it, your son needs you, as does your daughter, I'm not losing you son, that statement to you means she needs you just as much as she needs us and her father." he said to him and I ran a hand through my hair as I said it in irritation then.
"Damn it, where is Josh anyway, he needs to come back, five adult wolves and three teenage ones are not enough we need the adult pack in one piece to protect her?" I asked and he gave another sigh. "He moved to Ontario when Samuel was ten, I need to write him a letter, because he's going to get a shock, when he learns that his niece is here and we're on protection detail from now on, he's going to start phasing again and what the heck did you do to cripple yourself young man?" he asked and I hid the flinch at that.
"I was driving my truck and an idiot t-boned me, the impact paralyzed my legs for life papa." I said and he nodded gently. "While Harry and I are retired you guys can still phase, but with the fact, I'm the leader of the previous pack, Josh is back to being beta again, alright we train the kids in our fighting skills and to prepare for when we finally meet these red eyes." I said and they nodded as Jack said what we were all thinking at what she suggested to us.
"I can't believe we retired guys, we have vamps coming too close and the kids start phasing, once Josh hears this he's going to explode and the phasing is going to start again." Jack said and Harry and I nodded in agreement to that statement as Harry looked at me to go into it. "Check that, I can probably run the line with you guys, but I'm not fighting any more, if, from the way she said that, I can protect her, and she needs me, so with that you five are running the lines, I'm with her and the trio."
"Whatever damage that brat did to her emotionally is connected to her wording in that letter towards me to get my heart checked out before I try it, her memories of me with her came back finally in her statement to me and she's ready to kill him for getting me killed through the heart attack along with my daughter and the duo in the fight with the red eyes, because losing me was the final straw for her, she was conflicted, she had us, but losing me and the little brat tries to off himself by going to the red eyed leadership for some reason and this results in the kids fighting over her for her love, enough is enough now, I'm activating my position as her bodyguard now."
"While we train the young pack, we run the lines while they're in school, and make a few changes to the treaty if one of the Cullens got that letter as well, and we can work as one now than eighteen months from now, and with that we need to reactivate here, with you five trying it for the first time in nine years, it's time we ran a field test, but I need to wait two months, before I try it here, to give my recovery a chance."
"At the moment Billy can't phase because that idiot could have killed him and he's paralyzed from the waist down, I'm at the point where if anything goes wrong and my heart is going to put me in the hospital out of serious anger or just a major shock, that just leaves you, Adam, Josh and Joe, and if Daniel and Elliot start again that makes six, once they hear about this, at the moment, along with the kids that sets it at ten maybe eleven, so the next question is who out of the the tribe is going to phase next over the next two years, within our family gang exactly."
"So, who do we have phasing here, if, by that letter, we had ten running around in the next eighteen months?" Harry asked and I thought it over. "Sam, Jared and Paul right now, if what I'm thinking is right here, than Embry as well, Quil junior, my son, Seth and Leah, and than two not much older than Seth, this keeps up and the reservation is going to be over run if we have any red or gold eyes coming here or just whoever the red eye leadership is Harry, and with that, the more wolves, the better right now."
"So going by that message the nomads we're dealing with are probably going to be our most pressing problem right now, and I think you better get Sue in for this, but till we have whatever problem we need to deal with comes up we spend as much time as possible with her now to get our bonds back into place, and you get yourself checked out and quickly Harry, before you try it again after thirteen years, because phasing is one thing, but you can't fight any more, like Leah I think your family is her body guards now with her as Jacob's mate and future wife, but that brings it to your physical health man."
"At this rate you're going to give yourself a heart attack, if you don't cut back on the fried foods and listen to Sue more on that will you, we're not twenty five any more buddy, the kids need us, so get it together will you." I told him and he nodded. "Why is she calling you dad exactly, if she's doing it this soon, the contracts haven't activated yet and Jake doesn't start for another year?" Anna asked and I explained it to her.
"She's my son's chosen soul-mate, if she figured that out already, she's using it to get herself ready for when they're mates and mated for life. I can't believe this, she, or this version, redirected the clues and probably what Jake told her and figured it out in both tribe's cases." I said and than saw a picture in the envelope, pulled it out and smiled.
"Guys I think we just got our confirmation here, the kids are in their wolf forms, but I count ten here, three are the trio and the others are the boys and Leah, wait a second, guys six of the fifteen wolves in this photo are you four, me and Josh." I said and gave it to them as they focused on each color as they saw themselves as reactivated wolves.
"Who's who exactly in the kids?" he said and looked at Quil. "What did grandpa look like in wolf form, because I remember what we looked like?" I asked and he explained it. "His fur was reddish brown, if I'm right that's your son William, my grandson is chocolate brown, Embry is grayish white, Seth is sandy brown, Leah's fur is white with blond streaks through it and that just leaves the younger duo." he said and I nodded as I remembered what we looked like I felt a jolt of shocked amazement go through me.
"Good grief, the boys got your colors guys, Sam looks like Josh, Jake like you, and Seth looks like you Harry, alright if I'm right Brady got mine, but I need to confirm that later." Joe said saying my thoughts out loud to the guys and we nodded in agreement as I answered that statement as I saw her next to Jake with her hand wrapped around his furry neck and a gentle smile in his eyes, and Sam, Jared, Embry and Seth surrounding her and I knew they were happy, he loved and still loved her despite the separation.
"With multiple vamps coming here, we could have several population explosions Jack." I said to Jack Denali and he nodded to that. "At the moment we got the Cullens here, anyone else shows up and the quintet are going to phase before they're ready here, at the rate this is going every kid under the age of sixteen will phase, if we got more than one red eye coming through here in the next two years."
"At the moment we got three, if that coven comes back and we got the leadership doing mandatory checks we got seven more phasing and if whoever the leadership of the vamps are, if they come here the town is going to get over run, while the adult pack is back in action. We should have seen this coming, no offense Bill, but your god-daughter is a magnet for trouble, if she's got the adult pack taking care of her as well." he said and I chuckled as Harry started laughing at that as I answered him with a smile.
"Can't help that Jack, you know her, for now we monitor things and once it hits the night this gets started we pull the plug and tell Charlie, if we expand things we can have him as the chief of police department here as well and that would help out." I said and they nodded in agreement to that as I called out to our young current alpha than. "Son come here." I called out and Sam Uley walked over to us.
"What is it Chief?" he asked gently and I explained it to him. "Son with my god-daughter here I want you and the duo on watch for trouble as this gets started, before she bumps into Cullen, and sooner or later it's going to lead to a few problems, and it's connected to the murders of the last week, so with that, I want you on protection detail." I said and he nodded firmly. "She's connected to me and the pack right?" he asked and we nodded.
"Yes, she's your cousin, watch from a distance, but if this starts getting dangerous pull the plug, because she's coming home soon enough." I said and he nodded with a dangerous look. "Anything happens to her and I'm tearing them limb from limb." he growled angrily. "My cousin, hang on a second." he said and looked at his mothers bracelet. "The bracelet, mom who was the green cord indicating exactly if it was connected to dad's?" he asked and she explained it to him.
"The green cord meant my family clan honey, the Marquez clan, she's the only girl in your aunt's family, so she's the green cord." she said and he nodded as he took his off and looked at it and then and looked at her with a smile growing in his eyes as he figured it out, before his eyes narrowed in anger as he asked it. "Full truth here, you were cousins, my aunt is her mother, she kept our traditions on the Forks side of the line, and that bracelet she had was mixed in with the Uley, Trueheart, Black and Clearwater clan cords, they were indicating our family gang, alright I get it."
"Red, green and blue, me, Bella and Jared, she kept hers and our childhood photos and our memories faded over time here, and the little bastard has been keeping this from her and her from us, because I'm her big brother and he didn't want her knowing she's the youngest of our family trio or quartet, is that what this letter is about, what the hell did he do to her and our pack, if she's returning to our time-line to fix the damage he inflicted on us and who is the other cord, who's she betrothed to in the tribe."
"Who's her chosen exactly?" he asked and I explained it. "My son, you better read this, son, because you're going to get a shock." I told him and passed him the letter and his eyes narrowed as he finished it. "The parasite loses his mind, because she chose us, we're not the ones who are dangerous, they are, or at least he is, if this version of her knows this, she's not leaving me, Jake or my brother, let alone a human life."
"She said two months, so one month for the clues to start piling up, and than another for her to get settled with the vamps, before the night that we drop our secret to Chief Swan, and he decides to put an injunction into place and we take it from there to protect her, Harry, Paul has been suspended for a month to another fist fight in school right now." he said and Harry sighed. "What caused it this time son?" he asked and he explained it, and I knew we had to deal with the kid, since he had a very short temper.
"Dillon Emerson made some statement that we were hall monitors on steroids and that we're a gang and he lost his temper before I could get a hold of him, and broke his nose, he's suspended for the next month as a result. No matter how much I tell him, he can't control his temper, sooner or later if he and a pack member get into it, the fight could do a lot of damage." he said and we nodded in aggravation at that statement
"He better get that temper under control, because if he loses it too close to Bella he could hurt her, and I'm not taking that chance." Harry told him and he nodded as he thought it over than. "What's her role in the pack exactly?" he asked and he explained that. "She's the human leader of the pack son, she's your omega, your aunt was ours, and she's activating when she comes home so you can get your bond into place, she needs you." he said and Sam nodded to that as he answered him.
"Alright, Jared and Paul are going to wonder what this is, but wait to tell them till the night we pull the sting and bring her home, I'm a contractor, so with that I can build them their own house, and she can live on the reservation and we spread the rounds throughout the reservation and Forks, I don't care if it's their territory, I'm not leaving her unprotected here." Sam said and we nodded in agreement to that.
Just as he finished saying that I heard a plate break and looked over my shoulder at the duo who had furious looks at that. "Damn it Sam, are you trying to start a war here, I know she's family, but we can't take chances here." Paul told him and he grabbed his shoulder as he explained it to him firmly then his blue eyes blazing in a protective anger.
"It's a bit too late for that Paul, she's my cousin, she's half Quileute you bone head, the nomads causing the murders are the ones who are going to try and kill her, read this guys, because it's going to tick you off later, because our current group just added into it, and Cullen turns her into magnet for every red eye in the country that comes through here." Sam told him and passed them the letter and Jared's eyes narrowed in anger.
"Guys there's more here in her connection to us, she's more than just my cousin here, she's our omega, she's my advisor, so you take orders from both of us." he added and they nodded as Jared answered him. "Side effects effects mom of that ability?" he asked and she explained that as they crouched in front of her to learn everything.
"The alpha orders can give you a bit of leverage if you try hard enough, but the omega abilities you can't break an order when she gives it to you, she's able to talk to you in both forms, and you're feelings of protectiveness only get stronger when around each other, basically this is like an imprint, she's your entire world, as your pack sister."
"The added side effect is she acts as a buffer to your tempers in case a fight breaks out, so with that in mind if anything happens when you see each other again and something pushes you to the breaking point, she's able to soothe your wolves to calm them down." she said and they nodded, before they could answer I heard a voice call out to us.
"Guys you hear me?" I heard and Sam smiled. "Bella that you?" he asked and I heard her voice with a smile in it. "Yeah Sam it's me, I'll see you guys soon, and Paul I want that temper kept under control till we see each other okay." she said and the trio nodded as Harry smiled. "I guess it works from seven hundred miles distance right now." he said and then heard his wolf answer that with an amused tone in his voice.
"Her abilities are slightly rusty, so it's going to be amplified for a while till she gets it under control right now." he said and I heard a slight chuckle in her voice. "I'm readjusting it right now but, those memories are back completely now, guys, if there's trouble we need to figure it out, moms getting worried and we're doing an omega to omega run here during the next few weeks." she said and we nodded to that.
"Papa, my suggestion is another bonfire get together this weekend, okay." she said and Quil smiled at that idea. "Family get together this weekend, not a bad idea actually, she gets to see us all at once and we start training her by simply bringing up the stories to help her remember." Jack said with a smile and we nodded in agreement. "Alpha to omega Bella, we're seeing each other this weekend, before you start school here." Sam said to her and I heard her answer with a smile. "Okay see you this weekend brother." she said and he smiled at that title and I answered her as I hid a smile then.
"See you tonight baby, we'll be there around six thirty, so see you then." I said and heard her voice answer me. "See you then Uncle Billy, can't wait to see you again." she said and that ended the demonstration as the trio exchanged smiles at that as Anna finished her explanation after what the guys and I just heard from our new omega just now there. "Nice test run, so she's back and the first thing on the agenda is a pack family bonfire get together this weekend, nice way to start the first week back." Paul said with a grin and I chuckled at that as Sam tried to keep the smile off his face.
"If what I'm thinking is right here, one of you starts it and it's going to lead to a pillow fight next, so watch where you aim those pillows, before I or our parents get caught in the middle of it okay." He said and that did it for the adult pack as we started laughing at that. "Well I'd say this definitely confirms her memories are back completely now, alright I better explain your personal bonds with her Jared, because it's more than you think."
"In your case honey, she's more than just a friend, but blood bonded to you as well, but the memories that faded for you three were you guys were always together growing up." she said and they both nodded with furious looks at the revelation as Jared said it for them both. "She's our missing link and Cullen tries to steal her away from us, not on my watch, alright Sam's alpha, I'm beta and she's the human leader of our pack."
"Jeez, alright her memories are back completely, if she saw us phase she knows we're not dangerous, but Cullen is, though I doubt his family met us yet, but, alright I get it, we join forces now rather than when Jake phases and with that she, Sam and I are back together for good, if we're her childhood gang, and with that we've got a lot of work to do here, if he's getting paranoid to the point he's going to trigger a fight between us."
"Alright that does it, territory or no territory, we do what needs to be done to protect her, Paul, she knows what we are, we wait till the night it starts and then pull an intervention to head off him accidentally putting her in the hospital and bring her here." Jared told him and he nodded in agreement. "It'll take time to get our bonds back into place, but anything happens to her and I'm killing that leach." Paul said and they nodded to that. "Harry, exactly who is my great grandmother if she's my cousin?" Sam asked him.
"Tiva Marquez, her sister's last name was Marquez when she married a pale face eighty years ago, your great grandfather is the link between you, she knows what we are, and with that, your great aunt married a second pale face, and it started going from generation to generation, but her color is due to Charlie, she's got enough of the bloodline with your family, Jared's and us here to let her live here, but is there an open house in town, so she and Charlie have a place to live, while they're getting settled here?" he asked and we nodded in agreement to that as Jared looked at us.
"One more question, who's the third out of the pack exactly, because if he and whoever we have joining are her cousins, there had to be another, if he mentioned me?" Jared asked and Anna answered that. "Honey, the third one of your childhood quartet is you, my grandmother, your great grandmother, is the twin to Tiva, and her name is Kiara Marquez, the three of you are connected though your great grandmothers, look at the cords on your bracelet." she said and he nodded as he looked at her as he saw the green cord intermingled with his and Sam's and looked her as his eyes watered as he got it.
"The pictures on the wall, they were of us as kids, I was more than a friend to her, I'm her cousin, alright I remember what we were like at that age, so that explains the bracelets of our quartet family group and our family colors together on our bracelets, she was green, I was blue and Sam is red, what are we to her exactly, if she always curled up against me, and why we always had her surrounded back then?" he asked and she explained it to him as he crouched in front of her then.
"You were practically her twin brother and Sam is your big brother, though you're cousins honey, your fathers, Harry and Billy are Charlie's best friends. While Renee is your aunt, your fathers are her uncles, but Harry and Billy are her uncles by adoption, while your fathers are by blood through me and your Aunt Sally honey." she said and they both nodded as Jared said it for them with a furious look on his face.
"The tribe council of ninety years ago separated our families, because she married a pale face, Aunt Tala was Ephraim's omega, how could she do it in Forks, and what does this mean for her now, because Charlie and Renee followed our rituals though they were on the other side of the line, she's got her clan bracelet and the necklace dad gave her after her first birthday and she also had the red furred wolf Uncle Billy gave her?" he asked her and Sally answered that one.
"The tribe regulations are changed with the times, with the fact the Swans are friends of the tribe, the decision made then just got rescinded permanently, she's coming home for good now honey, because those memories are back, when Jake phases the betrothal contracts activate completely and she starts her position." she said and he nodded.
"So our kin bond is about to be put back into place for good now." he said and she nodded as he exchanged looks with Sam gently and he patted him on the back as he answered Harry's question gently and I knew he was doing whatever it took, before he could though Paul went to the next one with a furious look on his face at what Cullen did.
"The members of our childhood gang were us, her, Leah, and the twins, before the quartet were born and we grew up together, she remembered that finally now that she was about to come back now, and that version of her has the bastard screw up our bonds as our familial gang and it nearly gets her killed by a bunch of red eyed leaches, Harry was killed by a heart attack after one of these demons nearly gets the drop on her father and saves his life, and the heart attack kills him, Leah's in pain, and Jake takes off on us, because the son of a bitch tears his heart out emotionally and she gets the truth finally."
"So we were raised together as a gang, she's gone for five years and the bonds start fading, and Cullen sees the minute we tell her this he's toast and tries to keep her away from us, oh he's a dead man, alright so with the fact we're back together, our bonds are going to get stronger as time goes on, she wants us to join forces with the his family in protection detail." he asked and I nodded to answer that as Sam answered me.
"Yeah, but she can stay with me while I get that house ready." Sam said and I nodded in agreement as Sam's eyes landed on the photograph than. "If we needed a confirmation, this just gave it, ten, alright this is ridiculous, that's us and probably the boys of the rest of the council members guys." Jared said and they nodded as Paul's eyes narrowed at the blonde furred wolf.
"Guys one of the seven of the young pack is a girl, we have a she wolf in the young adult pack, the letter said it hit both genders in Harry's family, so that means that Leah joins the pack, alright I think we better let Bella deal with her, so we can head off a fist fight, and she should find her an imprint during the next year and a half, while we deal things." he said and they nodded in agreement as we finalized the details. 'Don't worry baby, we're doing what we have to now.' I thought softly then as I looked at my baby God-daughter's photo and knew, sooner or later, she becomes my daughter.
Rosalie
As I was getting ready for school, I thought over what I knew of the Swan girl who was about to start school with us then, and I was sure that whatever was going to happen it meant she was going to be part of our lives, if she was who my brother was meant to be with. 'At this rate if he puts her in our way of life it could kill her and I'm not letting her put us, or her, at risk.' I thought as something fell in front of me in answer to that. 'What is that?' I thought as I grabbed it and read it.
'Rosalie, I know you're worried about this, and you have every right to be, but don't worry her place is with the tribe and as a human, she's not your brother's mate, she belongs to Ephraim Black's great grandson.'
'I'm going to just drop the bomb now, but I'm Bella from another time line, where you were furious at me for giving up a human life, the me you'll see in school in a few days has 'my' memories, but I'm changing the outcome, I belong to Jacob Black and the tribe leader is my godfather, the alpha and beta werewolves are my cousins, and within two months that time line comes to pass with the nomads running into us when your family is playing baseball, but we're changing the out come and I stay human, get ready, because he's going to get possessive and territorial with me.'
'See you later and see you on the other side.' I read and nodded as I hid a smile. 'We change things and she stays human and is mated to the wolf tribe leader, alright I'm doing whatever is necessary to protect her till the night it starts and we join forces with her godfather to protect her.' I thought as I saw a photograph of her with fifteen wolves and eight looked like the quartet my family met when we first came here.
'Rose this is me at twenty five with my mate and family, my godfather is Ephraim's grandson, Josh is Levi Uley's and Harry Clearwater is Joseph Clearwater's, you'll meet them and my mate soon enough, but show this photo to your father, so he knows what's going on, but he meets me in three weeks, see you soon friend.' I read and smiled as I looked at the seven as I stood up, as I got ready for school and hid the letter in my room safely as the four of us left, if I was right the first bit of it was going to be the following Monday and it was going to be a long day too.
Bella:
After getting off the plane I saw dad waiting for me with a gentle smile and I moved over to him with a smile. "Hey baby had a good flight?" he asked and I nodded with a smile and gave him a hug and he tightened his arms around me. "Yeah it was fine dad, how are things going at home?" I asked and he chuckled. "The gang is looking forward to see you again, they're thrilled with the fact you're back for good now." he said and I nodded.
"Hey that looks new, whoa that looks like the teenage version of your bracelet when you were a little girl." he said seeing my bracelet and I nodded. "Yeah mom made it for me, to indicate our familial quintet was back in one piece again." I said and he nodded to that with a smile as we got my stuff and got into his cruiser then.
"Dad when did you get that blood brother ritual done with the quartet?" I asked and he smiled. "When I was twelve, I met your mother four years later after that, but th guys changed in appearance six months prior to that, Josh and Billy looked like an exact copy to what Sam and Jake looked like at this age. For the moment summer plans are the usual, we were planning on going camping this summer at our usual spot." he said and I nodded, translating that to our mountain range camp grounds.
"How's Uncle Billy coping with not being an active hunter right now, I heard there were a couple of kills going on up here?" I asked and he sighed. "He's frustrated at it and the trio just activated in the last year and a half, your brothers look like teenage versions of your uncles now at this point honey, if I'm at work it's best if you're with your uncles after school, okay." he said and I nodded as I answered him.
"Whatever information you have I can help out with if you need me to dad." I said and he smiled gently at that. "I appreciate that honey, it's good to have you home again." he said and I smiled at that as we drove into town and I saw the familiar sights as he pulled into our driveway, as I grabbed my backpack and he helped me with my stuff. "Anna helped me redecorate the room for you and chose the bedding, the lamp is a good one, so you can do your homework as well." he said and I nodded as I answered him.
"I've shipped out the rest of my stuff from mom's house here, so expect a few boxes to show up in the next few days, I've also sent out my computer, so I can use it here to." I said and he nodded. "Alright I guess I better let you unpack." he said and I sighed and nodded, he'd always been the quiet one, but our bond only deepened since the first time I did this, I wasn't losing him no matter what now, as I finished thinking this, he left the room then and I started putting clothes into the dresser and closet then, unpacking the books I brought with me and putting them in the shelf then.
After a bit I lost track of time, till I heard the sound of a car pull in then, checked the clock and saw it was 6:30 then and smiled as I saw Jake give a way to me and I headed down. "Hey guys, honey you remember Billy Black." dad said and I nodded and looked at him. "Hi Uncle Billy good to see you." I said and gave him a hug and he gently tightened his arms around me. 'Missed you Uncle Billy.' I thought to him and he answered me in the same way. 'You too baby.' he said and then said it out loud with a smile in his eyes then. "You too honey, how are you doing?" he asked and I smiled.
"I'm fine thank you." I told him. "I see nothing's changed here Billy if you still act like a wise guy." I added and he smiled as he answered that. "Watch it young lady, or you know what happens." he said and I smiled as dad chuckled at that as our fathers started talking and I turned to Jacob. "I'm Jacob." he said and I smiled at him. "Don't worry Jake I remember." I said and he smiled as I gave him a hug and he tightened his arms around me gently. "I missed you Bells." he said and I smiled as I answered him.
"Well don't worry you got me back for good now." I said and he smiled as I leaned my head against his and I felt slight rumble in his heart and knew his wolf was beginning to wake up at the contact, as he responded with a gentle nudge of his head to mine as dad looked at us with a smile. "So what do you think?" Dad asked and I smiled at my father as I looked at my old truck, which had died on me three weeks before the wedding.
"It's perfect dad, I love it." I said and he smiled as he told me. "Just got it for your homecoming honey." he said and Jake smiled as he added on to it. "I completely rebuilt the ignition for you Bells." he said and I tried to keep from laughing at his eagerness to impress me as I answered him. "Thanks Jake, I appreciate that, I just wish you could go to school with me, it would be a lot easier." I said and he smiled as he answered.
"With the fact we're back together you'll see me every weekend Bells." he said gently and I watched as our fathers who were talking, smiling at the relaxed demeanor with us, and the knowing smiling in Billy's eyes and knew they got the message I did.
"Charlie we were planning on a family bonfire this weekend up at my house, you in?" he asked dad smiled. "That's great, it's going to good to see everyone this weekend." he said and I chuckled. "Why do I feel like this always leads to trouble when the five of you get together?" I asked and they started laughing at that. "Because we're the adult versions of you kids when you start going at it honey." he said and I smiled at that.
"I take it they're always like this huh?" I asked Jake and he chuckled at that. "It's getting worse with old age and the guys, when they start going at it, results in a free for all here, it's great that our family gang is one piece again, Sam's been looking forward to seeing you for a while now." he said and I nodded. "Don't worry Jake I'm back for good, and I belong to you." I said and he smiled at that and pulled me into a hug and I tightened my arms around his shoulders then.
And that's chapter five, the next chapter is their bonfire get together and her first day in school as she sees the quintet and gets the first clue in Edwards's case. Some of the story in the first eight chapters is going to circulate my previous notes and the rest of it is the new chapters, as the story starts leading up to when she lets him know what he is.
Also I know this looks like a rewrite, but I've had several problems I needed to work through, so this is going to take a a while to get it all out. By that I mean the first two chapters got way too long, so I'm fixing that by breaking them into pieces and the chapters are going to make the story longer, so with that in mind, it's going to take time to get the latest chapters into the book, so just be patient, thank you for the time, and I'll have it ready, pretty soon.
