Princess Bella Dakota
Chapter 2: Life is Not Always What it Seems
Bella POV
"Okay, well my sister and I have not seen our father in six years, so, we will be back soon," I said and we left to go see our father.
Leah followed us and showed us where he lived. We walked in to see Father sitting on a couch, taking to another man. Leah led us in, everyone in the wolf pack was knew him well, so it would not be weird for her to just walk in. "Chief Dakota, I have some people you have to meet," Leah said.
My father walked toward us. "What are your names?" he asked.
"I am Isabella and my sister is Cleo," I told him. Realization flashed across his face.
"Bella, Cle, my daughters?" We nodded. "What are you girls doing here?"
"Mama put us in an asylum because we are 'special'. We didn't like it and ran away," Cleo spoke for the first time for our father.
"Why, she knew you guys would be special. You come from a line of the most powerful werewolves in the tribe. Why would she do that?" He was annoyed at Lauren now.
"Because we did this," Cleo said. We immediately started glowing and then everything, including poor Leah, was floating.
"Oh my god," the other man said. I realized it was Harry Clearwater, a tribe elder and Leah's father.
"Harry, do you know what this means?" Dad asked him.
"Yes," he said, still shocked.
"Who is the alpha of the pack, Leah?" Dad asked.
"Your daughter," she said, pointing at me.
Dad looked amazed. "You are so young. How is that possible?"
"Um… Jacob Black called us princesses, which neither of us likes being called. We want to be normal kids and not have people bowing down to us," I explained.
"Okay. Just, call the pack here," Dad said.
"Got it," I said and went out to phase. I howled and soon heard everyone in my head. "Everyone to my house," I said in my alpha tone.
"Okay," everyone replied.
Within ten minutes, everyone was at my house. "What is the matter?" Paul asked.
Harry and my dad looked at each other. My dad spoke, "Back when our tribe first was moved here, the chief had two daughters." Everyone looked at Cleo and me. "The daughters were strikingly beautiful," check, "had powers," check, "and were named Isabella and Cleo." Check and check. "The daughters had this one power to make anything they wanted to happen, happen if they worked together." Cleo and I thought of the pack floating, and they did. "One would turn into a werewolf at a young age," check, "when the other would calm down and change later," check. "When both are phased, they will be eight and eleven. Within a year of both of their phases, there will be a fight between all kinds, werewolves, vampires, pixies, fairies, humans, and hybrids."
"So, are you trying to tell us that once Cleo phases, less than a year from now, there is going to be a huge battle?" Quil asked. Harry and my dad nodded.
"Is there any way to stop it?" Embry asked.
"Yes, if the daughters can win the hearts of every leader of each kind." Great all of the pressure is on the two of us.
"Well, Cleo's birthday is tomorrow, so, maybe she will phase then and we can start immediately going everywhere to win the hearts of the leaders," I said.
"Actually, you can start today. The closest leader is in Alaska, so you have at least two days time until you get there," Harry said.
"Great, then we can leave in an hour. Leah, Paul, Embry, and Seth can come with us. Sam, you are in charge of the rest of the pack. Guys that are coming, go get packed. Don't bring a lot, we are running. Cleo, go pack our bags, I have to do something. Oh, and Jake, come with me," I said. Everyone was running as fast as they could to get finished.
"Jake, you build stuff, right?" I asked as we walked into his garage.
"Yeah, why?"
"That's good, because you are helping me build metal frames to go on each wolf's back to hold their things."
"Wait, were are we getting the metal and how do we know how big to make it," he asked.
"One sec," I said and then there was a huge stack of steel and replicas of Leah, Paul, Embry, Seth, me/Cleo in wolf form.
"That should do it," I said. Jake's jaw dropped.
"You did that?" he asked.
"Yeah, have powers, remember?"
"Oh, yeah."
"Okay, let's get to work."
Half an Hour Later
"Yes, we finished, Jake," I cheered.
"You're not bad at building for a young kid," he said.
"Um… Thanks."
"Well, I have to go finish packing, Jake," I said and darted out of the garage, the frames in my hands.
My sister was in our room, just finishing closing the last bag. I looked around the room, it was almost bare. "God, Cleo, did you pack the entire room in those bags?"
"Yeah, almost." Only Cleo does that.
"How much money do we have?" I asked. We would need a lot.
"Um, five million, six hundred thirty-seven thousand, five hundred," she said like it was perfectly normal for us to have that much money.
"Good, now let's get going."
We ran outside and met Leah, Seth, Embry, and Paul in the woods.
"Okay," I said, pulling out the frames. "When you phase, Cleo and I are going to put these on you guys," I explained.
"Uh, what is the little basket-like thing for?" Embry asked.
"We have to carry Cleo and for extra space to put your bags," I said. They acted like it was perfectly normal to be wolf with these giant metal things on your backs.
They phased and I a frame on each of them then showed Cleo how to secure it. After doing the straps on Embry, Leah, and Paul, I phased for Cleo to put it on me. It was Embry's turn to carry Cleo first, so she got in the basket and grabbed on as tight as she could as we ran. By the time we stopped to sleep, Embry and Seth had carried Cleo. Leah and I set up a tent then went to go find a town to get a cake for Cleo's birthday tomorrow. We did not expect what we found next.
