Chapter One:

"BELLA!" I yelled as I pushed her behind me, placing myself between her and the very large boy whose body was shaking uncontrollably. I cautiously walked backwards, placing a hand behind my back to keep Bella pushed behind me. The large boy let out a sound a deep sound….a growl? And suddenly…there was a bear-like wolf standing in front of me. What. The. Fuck. I could feel my eyes widening…it felt like they were going to pop out of my head. I heard a thud behind me, but I couldn't look away from the animalistic monster in front of me. I tried to take one more step backwards, but something was in my way. I looked behind me and down quickly to see that Bella had fallen. Fucking of course. Drag me out to the middle of no where. Piss off a goddamn giant animal thing. Now were both gonna die. "BELLA!" a deep male voice called from the distance, and Jacob Black was running at us. He jumped into the air to get in front of us as he landed, he was replaced by wolf. A wolf…FUCKING WEREWOLVES….Is anything not real? I grinded my teeth together in fear and frustration. Wolf Jake attacked angry giant boy and they ran off into the woods. The only adult like person made eye contact with me, Sam, I narrowed by eyes at him and stood up straight, as if I could fight them off. I mean…I'll probably lose, but Bella will get away. My mom's voice rings in my head, a constant mantra… Watch out for Bella, Keep an eye on your sister. I always would…I never had to be told. Sam nodded in our direction, "take them back to Emily's" he ordered the two half naked men without looking at them, then took off toward the forest. I turned back toward the other boys, just as one of them said "guess the wolf's out of the bag now…". I was pretty sure it was one of Jacob's friends I had met before. I think it's Quil…nahh.. the other one…starts with an E…oh who the fuck cares. I thought as I looked down worriedly at my younger sister who stared off into the woods her mouth slightly open in shock. "Bells…Bella…come on get up…we gotta move…" I muttered firmly as I reached down and gripped her arm, yanking her up with all my strength. "uff…" Bella whined snapping out of it and finding her footing. She made eye-contact with me, looking concerned. "I know…werewolves…right? Who'd have thought?" I played it off, ignoring my own mini freak out. "One of you good to drive or do you want one of us too?" One of the half-naked men said as they slowly approached us as if not to scare us, yet sounding annoyed by our presence. I felt my jaw clench as I turned to look at him. "I can handle driving…just tell me where to go" He raised his eyebrows, "You sure?" he questioned. "don't be a dick, Jared, she said she was good. Let's go" E name guy said as he walked toward Bella's truck. Maintaining eye contact with Jared, I held my hand out toward Bella for her keys. She took forever to place them into my right hand. I grabbed her arm then and dragged her toward the truck. I grimaced looking at the lack of space in the in Bella's truck. No way us and two giants are going to cram into here. "You guys will have to ride in the bed." I stated obviously. Both boys grumbled as they hopped into the bed of the truck. Bella and I got into the cab and they directed us on where to go.

We pulled into a gravel driveway, not too far from where we were previously. When Bella finally decided to use words, "Maybe we should go back and see if Jake's okay…" she suggested as the boys climbed out of the truck. I rolled my eyes at her. Come on, Sis, he's a damn werewolf…they are probably some form of invincible. One of the boys yelled, serves him right, followed by something about biting…or not biting. I wasn't following. I was focused on Bella; she didn't seem to be taking things too well…or too awful. But I was pretty sure, she had an idea of what we were walking into. A prediction at least. I had heard Jacob sneak into Bella's room last night… I knew what was said. I opened the truck door then while saying, "come on, Bells, we need answers". I hoped that would snap her out of her shocked mood. I got of the truck and Bella followed quickly behind me. One of the boys wandered straight into the small house a head of us, not bothering to knock or announce himself. E named boy stopped at the front door, I grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her toward the house. As we approached the house, E boy put his hand on the front door handle, "don't stare at Emily…it bugs Sam…" he warned as he opened the door for us. I pulled Bella through the door. Stare? Emily…? Why would I... "Who are they?" a female voice questioned. I looked up and fought the urge to gasp at the women in front of me. Her face was…mauled. I fought off a grimace and smiled, just as one the boys said bitterly, "The Swan girls…who else would it be?". Emily nodded knowingly, "So you're the vampire girls?" I raised my eyebrows in response just as Bella spoke up next to me, "So you're the wolf girl?" Emily chuckled, "Well I guess so…engaged to one anyway" she winked. "Muffins…ladies first!" she announced as she set a basket of muffins into the kitchen table in front us. "Help yourselves" Emily added. Bella's arm reached from behind me as she grabbed a muffin from the basket, I flinched as it pasted me, and fought the urge to whack it. My body was still tense and ready to fight…or flight. "Emily makes the best muffins" E boy announced, and my eyes flickered to his, as I gave him a tight smile. E boy's jaw went slack as he looked at me, his eyes widen as if he recognized me from somewhere and was surprised to see me here. I looked away from the intensity of his gaze as my eyes wondered the small house. I could feel his eyes still on me.

..EMBRY'S POV….

Her green eyes met mine briefly and my whole world changed. Suddenly, she was the center of it all. I felt my jaw drop slightly; I was just in shock. All I wanted to do was know more about her, be with her, protect her, love her unconditionally. She looked away from me quickly and appeared to grind her teeth as she looked around the house. Her body seemed tense, as if she was ready to run. I couldn't help but frown. What could I do to help? I would never let anything happen to her. She has nothing to run from…nothing to be afraid of. Well dumbass…she just found out werewolves were a thing…yesterday she was damn near attacked by a vampire…I felt a tremor pass through my body as I thought about the vampire yesterday. Suddenly that situation seemed so much worse…the way she pushed herself in front of Bella to protect her. What was she thinking? I ground my teeth together, trying to keep my anger down. The last thing I needed was to lose it now. Jared shot me a look as he sat down next to me at the table. I ignored him and looked up at her. She had turned her attention to the front door, as Sam, Jake, and Paul were approaching. "oh shit…" I heard Jared mutter, I looked back at him to find him looking between me and Amelia knowingly. "Jake's right…you girls are good with weird" Sam said as he entered the house and quickly made his way to Emily, assaulting her with kisses as she giggled.

…AMELIA'S POV

I watched Sam kiss Emily, then glanced over at Bella, she had wrapped her arms around herself in discomfort, putting her gaze to the floor. I wrapped a protective arm around her as an attempt to make her feel better. Jake and Paul wondered their way into the small house then, Paul touch my shoulder as he pasted to find a seat at the table, "Sorry" He announced smiling in our direction. I nodded. At a loss for words. What was I suppose to say….? Nah man, it's fine…shit like this happens all the time. I glanced around at the everyone in the room once more. E boy was giving Paul a death glare, his jaw was closed tightly intensely. Great…maybe he'll turn into an irritable wolf next. "Embry…you good?" Sam questioned shaking Embry's shoulder lightly. E name boy…Embry… looked up at Sam briefly before nodding looking back at me. We made eye contact again and I found myself blushing slightly and looking away. Embry…of course. The other one's name was Quil. I remember now. I found myself fiddling uncomfortably…I could feel Embry's eyes on me…as well as Sam's. "So…werewolves…that's…yeah" I said awkwardly to the room. Sam chuckled, "yeah it's been quite an adventure." I pursed my lips and nodded at him, unsure of what to say. "Is Laurent dead?" Bella muttered fearfully and made eye contact with Sam. I held my breath waiting for confirmation. Sam looked confused, "The vampire…from the field the other day…" I clarified. Sam nodded, "Yes…we didn't know if he was friendly or not, we're sorry if…" I sighed in relief and shook my head. "No…I mean yes… he was supposed to be…ugh…just thank you" I said struggling to find the right words. "So we're good?" one of the boys at the table questioned. "Yeah…thanks" I nodded, followed by, "who the hell all are you people? Names would make my life easier…" Sam laughed and began naming off everyone in the room, skipping the obvious ones, himself included "Emily, Jared, Paul, and Embry". My eyes swept the room, stopping on Embry. I pointed my finger at him, "I remember you…we met at Jake's once…maybe twice" I shrugged. He grinned widely at me, "I remember you too" He muttered awkwardly. "And you are Amelia and Bella Swan…you two tend to get into some trouble" Sam said accusingly. I rolled my eyes and pointed at Bella, "She gets us into this shit…I fight to keep us alive" I clarified. Bella scoffed next to me, followed by a muttered "whatever". Sam wrapped one arm around Emily, as he asked, "I just have to know yesterday, you stood between Bella and a vampire, today you stood between Bella and a werewolf…What was the plan there?" I let out a short sarcastic "HA". Then held up my hand in a waving motion as I said "Hi, I'm Amelia, Bella's twin sister and if ANYONE plans on hurting her…they will do so OVER MY DEAD BODY" I announced firmly, making sure to give eye contact to everyone in the room, stopping at Jacob, "AND you…" I pointed my finger at him, "Next time you come over, use the front door, I almost stormed into Bella's room last night to attack you with a mental bat…let's all be grateful I didn't". Everyone in the room laughed a little or chuckled at my words, except Bella…she knew how serious I was. Sam nodded, "So you're a little overprotective, huh?" "Understatement of the century" Bella replied without missing a beat. I rolled my eyes, "I am her sister…of course I'm protective" I warned as I continued to glare at Jake, who avoided my gaze. "That's right Black…I'm looking at you…right now we are not friends" I added tightly, my face dead serious. Bella began to speak up, but I silenced her with a look. "Anyway…I believe we have some info for y'all about a red head vampire…" I said glancing around the room, before meeting Sam's eyes, "Interested?" I questioned with a small smirk forming on my face. Sam nodded, "Jacob told me some, we'd love to know more". I looked over at Bella, encouraging her to tell the story, she lived it.
