"Is this really necessary?"

"It's for your protection. I don't trust those dogs for anything let alone your own safety."

As usual in Forks the weather was cold and dreary, no sunshine to be seen in the sky. Which made it even more eery since we were about to meet the werewolves of La Push. They didn't know about me yet but I knew once they did all hell would break loose.

I felt even more silly because everyone stood in front of me like they were my own personal bodyguard. I was also wearing one of Rose's jackets to try and cover my scent. I highly doubt this will work but they have to try something.

The wolves apparently still didn't trust my family so we were meeting at the line that separated us from them. We were in the woods to help make our meeting more private. Less humans the better.

"How much longer until they arrive? I want this to be over now."

"Rose.." I didn't get to finish my sentence because rustling in the bushes brought us to attention that we were no longer alone.

That's when three men emerged from the trees. Sam, Jared, and Paul. All three of them were shirtless and only had cutoff shorts on. Which meant that their abs were on full display, and man were the ripped.

It was easy to tell who was who. Sam stood in the middle and was taller than the other two. His whole form screamed power and authority. He looked to be on edge as if this whole situation bothered him. The shortest was Jared, he had a calm look situated on his face but his eyes looked guarded. You could easily tell who Paul was, his face held anger and frustration. The famous La Push hot head.

I had to stop myself from laughing because the looks on everyones faces told me who much they stunk. Emmett being Emmett couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Great, wet dog smell just what I asked for."

"Watch it leech, you don't smell like flowers and sunshine either." Now I understand why not to piss off Paul.

"Paul, calm down." Sam looked at him briefly before looking back at us. Carlisle took a step forward which made the three of them growl. He didn't say anything about it but made sure not to move any further.

"Hello, I am Carlisle and this is my family. I understand that you wanted to speak with us."

Sam took a step forward also which made my family look uneasy and Rosalie was already on edge. "I'm Sam, the alpha of this pack. I know that you made a treaty with the ancestors of this tribe and want to make sure you stand by that."

"Of course. We still hunt animals and do not harm anyone." The three of them looked at us and I instantly knew they were counting how many of us there were. When the treaty was first made, it was only Carlisle, Esme, Edward, and Rosalie. The Cullen's had grown since the last time and no doubt that they took notice to it.

"You've grown since the last time you were here. There were four before, now there are eight of you. I expect that each of them know about the guidelines."

"Of course they do. We will not harm anybody and will keep on our side of the land." Sam seemed to take in this information and nodded.

"Then I believe this meeting is over."

Carlisle nodded and offered a little smile. "Very well." The three of them looked at everyone of us before turning around and starting to walk away. I was beyond relieved that everything was still ok, that I let out a breath that I had been holding in. That went better than expected.

However, one of them froze as if he heard my breath. Crap, I forgot about their werewolf super hearing.

"Wait." Jared turned around and looked at each of us more closely which made Sam and Paul turn around too. Since the dogs started to leave, my family started to leave also. Which meant that I was no longer behind any of them, I was on full display for the wolves to figure out I was in fact human. As if sensing my thoughts, Jared immediately zeroed in on me and realized instantly that I was a human. Guess I spoke too soon.

"You have a human!" My eyes widened and Rose and Edward instantly got in front of my trying to block me from their view.

Everyone except for Carlisle and Esme were growling. "Would you care to explain to us why you have a human with you?"

Sam looked to be in the most control but I knew he could burst into a wolf at any moment.

I shoved myself between Rosalie and Edward so the three of them could get a good look at me.

"I have a name you know."

"Sophie." Carlisle gave me a look that said to be quiet. He turned back to them and started to explain our situation. "We found Sophie in a car wreck when she was six years old. Both of her parents died, she had no one else to take care of her so we adopted her."

"A family of vampires adopted a human girl. I think this alone breaks the treaty. She's basically a walking buffet table to them!" I can clearly see why Paul is such a hot head. He was starting to shake more uncontrollably and I knew he could shift at any moment.

"Will everyone just shut up and calm down for one second!" Everything seemed to still at that moment and everyone turned to me since I was the one who yelled at them. "I am not a human buffet to anyone dog!" Ok, maybe that was a little harsh. Everyone except Paul looked amused.

"Yes, I am a human girl who happens to be seventeen years old. I've been with the Cullen's for eleven years and I have been loved throughout this whole time. Not once has anyone of them tried to hurt me. They are my family and they would never hurt me. If you can't see that then your blind."

Everything was silent after that for a little while. Sam just kept looking at me to study my face I guess. After a while, he finally nodded seeing that I was telling the truth.

"I can tell that she means a lot to you, so we will not harm any of you. However, the treaty abides to her too. She will not become a vampire and if she is bitten by anyone of you then the treaty is broken."

Carlisle nodded and smiled in understanding. "Thank you." All three of them looked at me a little longer before turning around and heading back into the forest. The looks that they have given me sent goose bumps up my arms. They all looked like they wanted to protect me from the Cullen's but they looked insulted that I stood by my family.

"Everything is ok Sophie." Carlisle came up to me wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him back and felt comfort from his action.

I nodded my head. "Thank you." He smiled down at me as I looked up at him.

"Come on. Let's go home." I didn't argue with him, I just nodded my head and followed them back to our house.

Ok. Here it is! A little shorter than my other chapters but there you go! Thank you again for reading this story! Schools starting back soon so I don't know when I'll be able to post another chapter. Since it's starting, I might be able to get it up fairly soon but not sure. Until next time!
