Chapter 4: First Day in the Meadow with the Pack

"What do you mean, Alice?" I asked.

"Before, I would see glimpses of you here and there, but right before you guys got here, I just can't see you anymore even after the fight with the newborns. It's like you disappeared", Alice exclaimed.

Based on what she said, there are only three possibilities. 1. I will die sometime soon (Hopefully not, if I had already died in my timeline, then I really don't want to die again). 2. I finally go back to my timeline (that would be nice). 3. I become associated with the wolves.

Then, it hit me.

I may..I may become someone's imprint. But, who could it be? Heck, I am not even Quileute

I heard Edward saying out loud, "Is that even possible?"

Bella next to him asked, "What do you see from her mind, Edward?"

I glanced irritably at Edward and told him mentally Please don't continue that thought Edward. I don't want to pack to know just yet. Even I don't know if this is true. Before we proceed to that possibility, lets see if the first two possibilities will occur.

Edward frowned at me and told gently to Bella, "Nothing of value. She is just as confused as we all are."

Then, Sam growled lowly. Edward sigh and spoke in a monotone voice, "How can we trust you to keep our secrets and not tell anyone? How do we know if you aren't from the Volturi? For all we know, you could be their spy."

Alice stepped aside, so I speak to the pack. I gathered my courage, and I looked at Sam without looking at his eyes. I focused on his snout instead of his eyes because I did not want to take any chances with being imprinted on. I don't want to be tied by anything to this world.. I simply don't belong to this world...I am just an anomaly.

I said, "I'm not their spy. Why would I be their spy? I have no desire to be a vampire or their meal. If I am the spy, go ask Jasper. Jasper can feel my emotions. Am I lying, Jasper?"

Jasper said, "No. I don't feel any sign of hostility nor deceit from Miss Alexandria."

I turned to Edward and asked "What about you, Edward? Have you read anything in my mind that might indicate that I am a dangerous, untrustworthy being?"

He stared at me and said, "No."

"Well, that solves it for now. I am not a threat to any of y'all. I am just as confused like everyone else is. But, if you insist, I am under the custody of the Cullens temporarily. If I exhibit any suspicious behavior or deceit, the Cullens will immediately found out through their gifts, and they can deal with me then. However, I can vouch with my life that I am innocent. I am not some mythical being like you two are, well its hope I am not. I am just a normal human being. How does that sound?" I spoke.

Even though I had the balls to talk to a pack of wolves like this, it was still a scary situation to be in. I could feel myself shaking as I was talking to everyone. It wasn't like I don't know how to defend myself or speak in front of a mass, but as an introvert thrown into this mythical world, it was really out of my comfort zone. I knew that I had to act stern and confident in front of everyone just to prove my innocence unfortunately.

There was a multitude of low growls among the Quileute pack, but I still kept my gaze at Sam's snout. Edward then spoke again in a monotone voice, "Very well. We will keep you Carlisle and your coven accountable. We will be watching your coven. If she harms the people of Forks or Quileute reservation, mark my words, we will come after you with no hesitation."

After Edward finished translating Sam's thoughts to the Cullens, four other wolves that were behind Sam growled dramatically. Rosalie rolled her eyes and scoffed loudly as Carlisle gave her a sharp look for her defiant attitude.

Alice then said, "Do not worry. Before Ale's future vanished, I checked numerous times and I assure you, she is someone that we can trust. She is actually someone that can help us."

Esme stepped forward, away from Carlisle and said, "She is only just a girl. What a human girl going to do?"

Emmett laughed loudly, "What you dogs think she is going to take on us? I don't know what you guys have been smoking, but my eyes, ears, and nose tells me that she is just a normal human girl. Not that I want to eat her or anything, but she seems pretty normal to me".

My heart clenched in gratitude when I heard their reassurance to the wolves. She barely met me and she and the Cullens were willing to vouch for me. I knew of their altruistic behaviors from the books and the films, but to experience firsthand, no wonder Bella really cherished the Cullens. Wow, the wolves really don't know how great the Cullens are despite of what they are. It is not like any of them chose to be a vampire. They were forced to endure this existence except Bella who wants to become a vampire, but it is not my business to judge her decision since I know by the end of the series, she is going to become a vampire indefinitely. It made me sigh internally If only they stop looking at each other for what they are and treat each other for who they are and who they choose to stand for.

As if Edward heard my thoughts, he winced (I wonder if it was for the accidental thought that Bella is going to become a vampire or my statement regarding the feud between the Quielete pack and the Cullens) before Edward continued in a monotone voice, "Since you have called us here for training, lets get this started with, shall we? Tell us what you know about this newborn army?"

"Thank you, Alpha Sam, for your open-mindedness and willingness to come this late of the night on a short notice. I don't know if you have met my son, Jasper. He has great deal of experience handling with newborns" Carlisle said.

As Carlisle introduced Jasper to the pack, I found a log to sit there as I looked aimlessly to the forest and listened to the Cullens and the wolves train. I took this time to think deeply of what everything that has occurred. It still amazes me that I am in the Twilight world. Any twihard would love to be in my position, but I rather think the opposite and see it as an inconvenience. I was barely about to start my life with my friends. I struggled so hard to find my independence despite of the pandemic, my loss of eye vision, and living in a nonideal environment. I felt right before I even get to live, I was pulled away from my life just to be placed in the word of Twilight. I thought sadly, Am I ever going to return to that life?

It is not like I never thought of being in the Twilight world. Even though I was into the Twilight in middle school and early high school, I was able to see the problems with Stephanie Meyers's writing. For example, me and other fans were able to notice that Jacob's character was assassinated from the end of New Moon to Breaking Dawn basically right after he became a shapeshifter. From what I heard, it was because many fans were getting more invested in Jacob than Edward during New Moon, Meyers wanted to ensure that Bella was destined to be with Edward as his mate. Honestly, there were so many other ways of how she could have handled Jacob, imprinting and ultimately Leah.

I sigh internally Ah Leah.

Leah was truly mistreated by the pack, her family, and the council. I don't know how long I would be here, but maybe, just maybe, I could help Leah. There is a strong possibility that she might resist and retaliate out of her defense mechanism, but now I think about it more, has anyone really try to listen to her? Not just listen from her thoughts in the pack mind by accident or have to listen to her when she is throwing a temper, but out of their own volition, really listen to her? Then again, I don't want to help her just to leave, so before I think about helping her, I need to help myself first.

So, how do I help myself? First, let's think backward. How did I get here? I remembered getting rammed into a truck when Celeste lost control of the rental truck. What happened between the accident and when I magically showed up in front of the Cullen's residence?

A sudden pang went through my head which led me to double down and clutch my head in pain as I try to slow my breathing.

Flashback starts

It was cold, but also very hot. I felt like I was floating aimlessly somewhere. All my sense of direction was turned off, but at the same time, I was experiencing many other sensations too. I couldn't tell up, down, left nor right.

Where am I?

Suddenly as if I was pulled to one direction, my body was getting pulled. I screamed, but no noise came out of my mouth. There was nothing to scream to. It was like I was getting sucked into an endless void until I was abruptly stopped. I fell to my knees. Every part of me ached and I wanted to cry.

"Welcome, Alexandria Hernandez" someone spoke. I froze and looked around to see who was speaking to me. Then, I saw a white glow with a native American with long braided hair dressed in a traditional Native American (?)clothing standing in the middle of the glow, but at the same time, his image would flicker on and off from a horse-sized white wolf form.

I slowly got up from nothing. It was like I was standing on air and when I looked around me, there was so many images, colors, sensations that if I look away from the native American, my whole body will ache once again.

I asked hesitantly, "Who are you?"

He replied, "In due time, you will come to understand who I am. As of now, it is not of utmost importance. You are going to be sent to an unexpected world to fix the wrongs that have been made by a specific individual. A person that me and the universe have truly regretted sending. That individual only half-heartedly helped my world, but only with the cost that my world has been mispresented in other worlds which lead various fate intertwined where it was not supposed to intertwine in my world. Depending on your actions, you would be permanently placed in this world that we are sending you to, or we will return you at the exact time of the accident in your life."

Then his image begins to blur, and I shouted, "Wait. What does all of this mean?!"

Once again, I was pulled into a void until I crashed unto wet ground in a bright white light and passed out once again.

Flashback ends

"ALE!" a female voiced shouted as they were shaking me. It turns out I was still sitting on the log, but I had my arms wrapped around my torso. I looked up to see chocolate-brown eyes of Bella Swan. She had a panicked and tired expression, and she licked her lips and asked, "Are you okay?"

I asked shakily, "What do you mean?"

She started rambling, "I don't know how long you were in that position. I was sitting beside Jacob in his wolf form, you know? I was just talking to him and we, we were watching the Cullens demonstrated how to fight the newborns in front of the wolves. It was probably an hour or two? I wasn't really paying attention to you, and I was getting tired, so I went beside you to sit down.I noticed that you haven't said a word for a while even after I sat down next you. When I glanced at you, you were hyperventilating. I tried to get your attention, and it took a good 5 minutes before we were able to get your attention again."

I listened attentively, trying to process everything that she had verbally dumped on me. I didn't even notice that she sat by my side. How long was I in that trance remembering that flashback?

Edward, Rosalie, and Carlisle both appeared to my side. Carlisle asked, "We actually finished training for the night. We can return back to the house, and get you evaluated" as he placed his cold hand on my shoulder.

I said softly as my voice was losing strength, "Okay. I'm sorry for causing you further problems."

"It is not a problem to me, Ale. Rosalie, would you mind carrying Ale back to house and attend to her while I talk to Jasper and Alice?" Carlisle asked Rosalie.

"Sure, Carlisle" Rosalie responded as she wrapped my legs around her torso and softly placed my head to her shoulder. As she walked away slowly toward the Cullen house, I looked up and saw the wolves were retreating until I saw a russet brown wolf looked back one last time before they all disappeared into the forest. I glanced away before we made eye contact.

I was starting to feel sleepily, so I asked in my mind Edward?

I heard Edward in the distance, "Yes?"

I asked Did you see what I was going through in my mind?

Edward said being oddly careful with his words, "Yes..I saw. It was like that memory was put on replay, so I couldn't not help but see what you were going through. Even Jasper was feeling your extreme distress multiple times, and it was not a pleasant feeling for both of us to experience. I told the rest of my family and those dogs what you were going through while Bella was talking to you."

"I am going to take Bella back to her house. She is getting tired as well. I will meet you back at the house. We can talk more in the morning. Go and rest. It was a long day for all of us." Edward said before he vanished with Bella in his arms.

I nodded lazily before darkness took over me once again, and I went limp in Rosalie's arms.

Author's Note:

Hehe. It seems like it wasn't an accident that Ale was placed into the Twilight world. We finally got the first piece of the mystery, so stay tune to more! I will update again sometime this week.

Please review!
