I know it's been a bit… so I won't keep you waiting ;)
Chapter Two
*beep beep beep* Bella groaned as she heard her alarm go off on the bedside table. She felt like she had been run over by a train. Her body ached, and she had far less sleep than she would have liked to have had. Her dream slowly came back to her in bits and pieces.
A sense of foreboding came over her, dread settling into the pit of her stomach. Oddly enough, a hunger settled too. Hunger she hadn't felt in a long time. She felt like she could eat a horse! Ok, ew, maybe not a horse but a lot of food for sure.
Getting up, dressed, and downstairs took all the energy she had. She felt woefully out of shape, and weak. Her muscles hurt, even her eyes hurt. Every inch of her body ached, but she resolved to go to school anyways. It's just a cold, she tried to convince herself.
As she reached the kitchen, and opened the fridge, Charlie walked into the room. "Hey Bells, good morning." He said carefully.
She decided to ignore his tone and replied, "Good morning Dad. Breakfast?"
With a look of surprise, he answered "Sure." And after staring for a moment, he wandered back to the living room.
Quickly, Bella whipped up some scrambled eggs, bacon and toast. She called Charlie to eat, and settled down with a large helping of eggs, 6 pieces of bacon, and 3 slices of toast. She had gotten most of the way through her food before she realized Charlie was standing in the doorway, watching her eat looking utterly baffled.
"You feeling okay there Bells?" Charlie asked, as he carefully started to plate up his own food while watching her from the corner of his eye.
"I'm fine Dad, thanks." She said. She quickly finished up, rinsed her dish, and grabbed her school stuff and keys. "Stay safe at work, bye!" and she quickly left for school.
It was during Biology that things started to get… weird. Her head was splitting with a headache, she was sweating, and nauseous. She felt dizzy in her seat, and laid her head down, hoping it would help calm her raging stomach.
"-ella? Bella can you hear me?" Mr. Banner called.
"Hmm?" She answered.
"Bella, you don't look like you're feeling too well, would you like to go home?"
"I think that would be a good idea, I don't feel so good." She mumbled into her arms from her position on the desk.
"Go ahead and gather your things, I'll let the office know you left early because you're ill. Go ahead and head home." He said politely, and returned to teaching.
With a small groan, Bella hoisted herself into a sitting position and gathered her things. She stumbled to her car and managed to get in before she leaned out her window and vomited. Ugh, that's so gross. She started her truck, slowly backed out, and started on her way home.
Bella was about five minutes away from Charlie's when the itching began. It started in her fingers and her toes, and started to crawl its way up to her elbows and knees. By the time she made it back to the house, her whole body was itching and she felt like she was going to explode. She ran into the house, and made it to her room before her world went black.
Running. Sprinting. Woods. Free. Green. Scents. Wildlife. Paws…. Paws? What the hell…
Bella came to awareness in the forest. She could smell everything… from the ferns to the deer just out of sight. The crisp clean air, the small critters in the underbrush. Looking down, she yelped in surprise. Two very white paws in place of her arms. Her head swung to look behind her, and there it was. A tail. It would be me…
Using her newfound senses, she sniffed the air. She could tell that La Push was only a couple of miles away from where she was, and there would lie her answers.
With a toothy grin, she took off, paws pounding under her and the wind biting at her face. Now, how to tell Jacob about her new look?
