Disclaimer: Don't Own Twilight, Wish I did, but someone (SM) beat me to writing it. I swear I had the idea before her! (JK)

Heyy! I'm back. I know that I could probably tell you my excuses, but there are too much (all true) and I did tell you guys in the previous chapter that I'm only going to be able to update during my school holidays. So yeah…

I wanna thank ALL of you who faved/followed/review this story, you guys are the ones hat give me inspiration to write. I was actually thinking of deleting this story because I felt like I was seriously neglecting it, but then I re-read all my reviews and it gave me hope and inspiration to continue. That and I guess I have this weird liking to have ideas whilst I write exams. So I also got mused by that.

Okay I guess I'm blabbering and I think most of you have stopped reading this, but any-who…

On with the Storyyy…!

*-Deciding My Ass!-*

"Sophy get out here!" Aleera called from outside.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm coming!" I shouted back. I slipped into my sneakers and jogged out the house, locking the door on my way out.

I walked over to the girls and smiled at them – their glares softened a bit, just a bit.

"Sorry, but if they want all of us there then they should be willing to wait a few extra minutes," I stated as I began walking along the dirt path to Sam and Emily's place.

"Yeah, but this meeting sounds important; so we should be punctual," Fallon said, pushing her hair behind her ears. You could se her dark brown roots begin to conquer her dyed light brown locks – the green completely gone from her hair. Lacy, Aleera and my hair have also begun to loose their dyed color.

So, I'm guessing you're wondering what 'meeting' we're talking about, right? Well it has been almost an entire week since we found out about our brothers being mutant dogs, that there are vampires living close too us, and since we told our brothers that we too are not normal. And the tribe elders (my dad, Old Quil and Aunt Sue) and the two remaining packs of LaPush decided to hold a meeting today to speak to us about our wolfy and caty-ness. Hehe, if the girls could read my thoughts now…

I skipped over fallen tree trunks and uprooted roots, walking backwards and facing my three best friends. Oh! And the best news: my cast finally came off! I'm so happy about that. Unfortunately, I now have a medium sized scar running down my leg – and it doesn't look like it's gonna disappear any time soon.

"So, what do you think they wanna talk to us about?" Lacy questioned, pulling her jacket tighter around her body as the wind rushed pass us.

I shrugged, "I'm guessing about our shifting and our weird powers."

She nodded, "Do you think Embry will be there?" She asked not so subtly.

Aleera, Fallon and I grinned at her, "Why'd you wanna know?" Aleera asked raising an eyebrow.

A blush crept up her neck, her cheeks tinting pink.

"I-I was just curious," She stuttered.

"Yeah, well your blush says different." Fallon teased.

"And let's just say, there's a surprise waiting for you," I mumbled under my breath.

Lacy's eyes darted to me, sparking with curiosity.

"You saw something didn't you!"

I smirked, "Maybe."

"Tell me!"

"Nope."

"Please, Soph."

"Nah ah. Then it won't be a surprise."

She pouted, "Great friends I have."

"You better believe it!" I grinned at her as we came in view of the cabin/house. I saw Aunt Sue's truck parked out front along with Dad's and Quil's. The front door to the house was standing wide open, so we didn't bother knocking cauze ya know – the house is filled with wolves.

To say I was surprised to see both packs – complete, not one missing – would be an understatement. I knew Sam and Paul would be there as they are the Alpha and Beta, and I knew that Jacob and Leah would be there (the same reason as Sam and Paul) and of course my dad, Old Quil and Aunt Sue, but being in a house filled with fifteen shape-shifting wolves is a little bit unnerving.

"Good afternoon girls!" Emily greeted us with a semi-awkward hug, seeing as Sam kinda tensed and glared at us – like he thought we wouldn't notice.

We greeted her in return, along with the rest of the pack. I smirked at Embry and wiggled my eyebrows at him.

"What?" He asked, tearing his gaze away from Lacy.

I shook my head, "Nothing, just nothing."

We took the last remaining seats at the table, sitting across from the elders and with the Alphas and Betas on both sides of us. The rest of the packs stood around the table, and I grinned as Embry stood behind Lacy's chair, earning a glare from Quil. I held back a sigh as Seth stood behind my chair, the heat from his body rolling onto me – making me wanna take my jacket off.

I saw the other girls' flustered faces and sighed, shrugging off my jacket. They followed and sighed in delight.

"We have gathered this meeting to discuss your phasing and developments," Old Quil stated beginning the meeting officially.

"What's 'phasing'? I remember the guys saying that when we found out about the whole 'we're shape-shifters, beware' thing," Lacy asked her grandfather.

The room erupted in bellowing chuckles. We glared at the boys, quickly causing them to shut-up.

"Phasing is what we call when we turn into our wolf selves," Jacob explained.

"Oh, so you call it phasing, we call it shifting," Lacy stated. He nodded.

"Back to the subject at hand," Dad started. "Since there has not been any record or history about phasing Quileutes with another extra ability – you four are considered the first of your kind."

"As I heard from Billy, I understand that you Aleera can phase into a panther, correct?" Old Quil's rough voice asked. Aleera nodded.

"And you Fallon can phase into a lioness?" Fallon nodded. "And Lacy, you're a tiger?" Another nod.

"We guessed that since you Sophia, are a direct descendant from Ephraim Black explains you being a wolf. But we do not know why you three-," Old Quil pointed at Lacy, Aleera and Fallon. "Are different, we have a theory which suggests you may be average shape-shifters, capable of taking any form given to you."

We nodded, "So that means we can change into other animals too?" Fallon questioned.

"Unfortunately, no. We think that being able to phase into the animal you are, means you probably have a close connection and/or trait with said animal." Aunt Sue stated, sipping from her cup of steaming liquid.

"Oh."

"Well, that clears up a few things, but I think we'll live. Are there anything else you would like o discuss with us?" I asked, looking the elders in the eye.

They nodded, "Yes, there is one more thing we would like to discuss with you." Dad said, locking gazes with my brother and Sam.

"Since there are already two packs protecting LaPush, we unfortunately don't need another one."

My gaze hardened, the girls turning to look at me, "What are you trying to say, dad?"

He sighed, "What I'm saying is, that you girls are gonna have to join Jacob's pack or Sam's pack. The choice is entirely up to you."

How dare they?! We're not things that you can auction off. And why the hell can't there be another pack? We've been running around LaPush for more than two years!

"Do you girls want to join my pack or Jacob's?" Sam asked looking at my friends. I glared at him.

"We follow Sophy; she's our Alpha, not you or anyone else." Aleera glared.

"We understand you girls have come a far way just being the four of you, but being girls you can't protect yourselves against a vampire. You would have more protection in a bigger pack, with experienced fighters." Sam continued.

That was the last straw. Seth stumbled backwards as I stood up.

I laughed a humorless laugh, "You can take your offers and shove them where the sun don't shine. We are a pack and/or pride; we stick together – on our own." I looked at my sisters and we nodded.

"We decline any offer or suggestion or demand for us to join an existing pack. Just because we're girls don't mean we're helpless." I rested my hands on the table.

"I'm sorry Sophia, but that can't be done. You four have to join one of these two packs." Old Quil stated with a sigh.

"I'd rather leave before I join a pack filled with boys – and two girls -. So, now it's your choice: either we stay a pack, or we leave LaPush." I sat back in my chair, leaning back into it. My sisters following my motion.

My dad paled a little, along with Embry whose face filled with fear and worry. Jacob began wringing his hands, his thinking face in place. Sam had an annoyed look on his face, along with determination. Old Quil looked at his granddaughter – his eyes searching for any sign of us bluffing. Aunt Sue looked at me and then behind me at Seth, her gaze softening with a small smile.

"I say they stay and remain a pack," Jacob's voice rang out in the silence. Embry nodded along with Jared and an aggravated Paul and determined Quil. The chair moved slightly and I saw Seth's reflection in the plate Emily had placed on the table – he was nodding in agreement.

Dad, Aunt Sue and Old Quil shared looks – communicating with their eyes.

Dad cleared his throat, "All who thinks they should remain in LaPush and stay a pack, raise your hand." Everyone – and I mean everyone even Brittany - raised their hands, everyone but Sam.

"Brittany?" He looked at her in disbelieve.

She shrugged, "They're not so bad, and I can learn what can happen in the future with Sophy. Plus, be glad I'm your sister, cause with what you said about girls not being able to protect ourselves pissed me off – and I actually thought of leaving your pack and joining Sophy's." Then she walked out the room and up the stairs.

Sam sighed then agreed.

"Then it's settled, you girls can stay a pack. This meeting is now officially over." Old Quil stood up, along with Aunt Sue who pushed my dad towards the kitchen. Sam stood up and joined them.

The guys, plus Leah, congratulated us then split up – doing various things such as; eating, watching TV, watching me and Lacy (that was Embry and Seth), eating, wrestling over the remote, oh, and did I mention eating?

A weird sense of déjà vu swept over me and I began grinning. The girls gave me questioning looks, but I just shook them off.

Brittany reappeared in the room, walking over to us – just like I predicted. She stopped in front of me, holding out her hand. I took the two ten-dollar bills in her hand and smiled.

"I don't break my deals." She shrugged with a smile.

I smiled back, handing her one of the bills, "Here, I sorta cheated anyways."

She laughed and walked back to, what I'm guessing, her room. Just as she disappeared, Embry walked over to us and tapped Lacy on the shoulder.

She looked up at him and smiled - her blush bright on her cheeks. "Hey, Embry."

He grinned at her, "Hey, Lacy. Can I u-uhm, talk to you out back?"

I stood up, "We'll meet you down the road, Lace." I smirked at her – wiggling my eyebrows at her. Fallon and Aleera gave her mischievous smiles. Lacy's blush grew darker. It's a good thing her skin is like any other Quileute.

Fallon, Aleera and I called goodbye and walked out the door, slowly walking down the dirt path.

"So what did you se-," Aleera started, but was cut off by a screaming Lacy running towards us with a huge grin on her face.

"You knew! You saw it and you didn't tell me!" She pointed her finger at me accusingly. I smiled an innocent smile.

"Knew what?" Fallon asked, raising an eyebrow.

I laughed as Lacy giggled, "Embry asked me out!"

Fallon and Aleera giggled and laughed along with us, planning out what Lacy's gonna wear.

I must say, this has been an interesting day.

Okay, so that's the end of this chapter, but I'm typing the second one over as we speak. It's all written down so I just have to type it over. The next chapter is gonna have some Seth/OC. I'm not gonna go into detail about Lacy and Embry's date, but I'm thinking of making a One-Shot about it. If I have the time.

PS… If you've watched the move 'The Covenant' then check out my fanfic about it. The story's name is 'Order Of Angels'. So, yeah…hehe.
