What are you staring at? asked Jacob.
Just, you're actually... good looking said Bella.
He's surprised; there's a moment between them. He smiles.
How hard did you hit your head? asked Jacob.
Oh I - yeah said Bella.
He offers her a hand, helps her up. She holds onto it alarmed.
Jake, you're hot said Bella touching his forehead.
Upgraded from good looking? asked Jacob.
He takes her hand from his forehead and Holds it. She tries to pull it away.
I can't hold your hand? asked Jacob.
It just... means something else to you than it does to me said Bella.
One, that's my problem. But two... we have fun, you think I'm hot - said Jacob.
And Good looking said Bella.
I know you like me said Jacob.
What? More than anyone. But... that's all said Bella.
Because of Cullen? asked Jacob.
The name stings her.
He takes both her hands now and said Look, I know what he did to you. I can see it in your face every time his name comes up. But you need to know - I would never, ever do that to you. I promise I will never hurt you. You can count on me.
I already do. You don't know how much. You're my best friend but... I don't think my feelings will change said Bella.
He takes this in, it's hard. A wave of something sweeps over him. He sits back. Closes his eyes, takes a breath.
I'm sorry. I should've said something right from the start - said Bella.
No. That's not - I just feel...weird said Jacob.
I told you, you have a fever. Probably that flu everyone has said Bella.
It doesn't... feel like flu. I don't know what it is said Jacob.

Sel will know what to do said Jacob.
Alright let's go said Bella as they climb into her car and drove to Selena's new cabin.

Just like Embry. Maybe a day said Selena.
What's going ? what's happening to me ? asked Jacob.
Only few hours Jacob you will be better. I have to go will be back in a hour with others said Selena.
Alright dear said Billy.
Selena nodded her head and ran towards the forest and shifted into a wolf because she smelled something off from there. Then it hit her near the border. She howled loudly for the first time to let everyone know.
Sam POV:
I stayed home with the others except Selena I know she would never be late.
Where's Sel she should have been here by now said Emily.
Something must happened for her to come late I said. Then all of sudden we heard Selena's howl very loudly it hit us hard. We call winced from that sound.
What happened ? asked Emily.
I think this why she's late said Jared.
Come on let's go I said and Jared, Paul and Embry followed the sound. Near the forest we all shifted and followed near the border.
What happened ? I asked her when we saw her.
I was coming towards your house smelt a leach said Selena.
It smells new said Embry.
Jacob's going to change soon. I got side tracked said Selena.
YES said Embry jumping up and down with enjoyment.
We go first look at him and talk about this matter after I said.
Normal POV:
Okay said Selena as they made this way towards Billy's place.
Uncle Billy, it's Selena said Selena knocking the door.
Come on in guys. It's getting worse Sam said Billy.
This should be fun said Paul grinning. Selena went to the forest first and shifted into a white wolf.
All the guys picked Jacob and went to the forest.
Jake I'm very sorry said Embry.
Sel come on said Sam as a white wolf jumped on Jacob almost to pounce on him.
To defend himself Jacob jumped from there and shifted into a wolf.
Welcome to the pack hit stuff said Selena as everyone shifted.
What's going on ? What is this ? asked Jacob.
The tribe legends are true. We shift to protect our land. There is a rouge vampire running around. It triggers us to shift said Sam.
I'm going. Tell me when he looks presentable said Selena and went to nearby bush to change back and went to Emily's place to get things for Jacob.
Sam, Jacob, Paul, Jared and Embry emerge from the forest changed into humans.
Sel will give you information about everything Embry you too stay said Sam.
Come on Jake said Embry as they went to Selena's cabin or her house.

Why ? asked Jacob.
Too much hair not good for your wolf replied Selena.
I won't let you said Jacob.
Fine let Paul give you one said Selena.
She is heaven compared to Paul dude said Embry.
Fine said Jacob and sat in the chair.
You shouldn't talk to Bella it's too dangerous said Embry.
The same thing happened to Emily can happen to Bella said Selena.
So Sam is the reason what happened to Emily ? asked Jacob.
Yep, you shouldn't see Quil. Wait until he shifts if not never said Selena.
Always keep the secret. I know it's hard said Embry.

Selena stunned from the question Embry winced from the pain she have to go through.
