"Can I come in?"
"Yeah." I was expecting Seth but, as I turned my head Sam walked through the door. "How ya holding up?" Sam asked as he walked over to where I was laying down on my bed, he sat next to me. "Not really holding up to well, but overall okay." I mumbled, I felt his hand on my shoulder, it felt nice I wish it would stay there forever. I sat up slowly, and looked up at him, "Emily had me bring over some food, do you want any?" He asked looking in my tearstained eyes, I shook my head. "How's Emily?" I asked trying to sound nice, "She's okay, she's worried about you all though." Sam said calmly, last time we talked about Emily I wasn't exactly kind so he was saying this as nicely as possible. "So this is probably the last thing on your mind but we have some news, we picked up a trail about 5 miles away we think it could be the one we where looking for, we could use your help if your up for it." Sam said obviously trying to get off of the previous subject, "Sure sounds good to me." I responded with a small smile, "We first have to introduce you to the pack." Sam said, "I already know everyone though." I said a little confused, "I mean as a wolf, a part of the pack, that sort of thing." Sam said nodding, "What is it, some kind of initiation ceremony?" I asked a little sourly, why did things have to always be so difficult? "Well it kind of is, but its more of an introduction into the werewolf world than anything else." Sam said kindly.
"Okay then, when does it start."
"Whenever your ready."
"Well I'm ready now."
"Are you sure your up for it?"
"You do know who your talking to right?" I asked sarcastically with the biggest smile I had given him in a very long time. "I just want to make sure your up for it." He said raising his hands up a little in surrender, I just smirked. "So is this in wolf form or in human form?" I asked a little curiously, "Well usually both but in this particular case probably just wolf." Sam said a little oddly, why would it be any different? Then it came to me because I was a girl, it really shouldn't mater that much, "Whatever." I said rolling my eyes slightly, "Fine we can do it both if you really want that." Sam said shrugging, I rolled my eyes again. "It isn't that its just the fact that this particular case means because your female, its just annoying." I said vaguely, "Well that may be true, but still its whatever you want, and not what Paul wants." He mumbled the last part quietly, I gave a half smile and a roll of my eyes. "Well I want to start now." I said trying to sound as happy as possible, "Okay then I'll go get everyone, meet me in the same spot as last time in about 15 minutes." After Sam said this he stood up and walked out of my room, I quickly changed out of my pajama bottoms and put on black shorts, and a orange tee. I was slightly nervous about being a werewolf but it would be second nature right, I hope so…
Fifteen minutes later I was in the same spot in the forest, I didn't know if I should phase or not so I stayed in human form for the time being. I started to hear foot steps and I spun around and there was Sam, Seth, Embry, Jared, Paul, and a very aggravated looking Jacob. "Hey Leah." Sam said as he made his way over, "Hey." I said a little bitterly, "Well should we get started?" Sam asked looking around, I shrugged "Sure." The others seemed to be keeping a distance, what was I some kind of fatal disease? "Well I guess we should start in human form then." Sam suggested, the others started walking forward into a kind of circle, I was between Seth and Jacob. Sam started to talk about being a wolf, the normal stuff we went over, and a few new points and then he said "Now we will phase." I instantly started to walk into the forest, this was going to be awkward, as soon as I phased "We are going to take a run going Eastward, I'll tell you when to stop." I nodded and I took off running to the East, then I started to hear voices in my head again, "why in the world do we have to deal with her?" "Uh I don't know but this is going to be so much more confusing with her around." Jared and Paul, of course I was offended so I retorted "Oh really, you don't think I can just be one of the guys? Or is it that I will slow you all down? Well either way your very wrong." I took off at double the speed I was before, Leah you can stop running now, so I stopped running and looked around the others where at least half a mile behind me. They all ran until they reached where I was laying resting my head on my crossed paws, "look what the wolf dragged in," I thought sarcastically. I got exasperated looks and a few not so nice thoughts in my head then I heard Seth telling them to "shut up." "Well Leah, now that you have been acquainted to being a werewolf, we need your help to try and find the enemy." I nodded at Sam , I took a deep breath and could smell something horrid. "Well that was fast," I looked over at Seth and watched him start to run towards the scent, I followed.
For about an hour that's what we did running after the scent, but after it was apparent we had lost the trail we headed back to where our clothes where. Once I got my clothes I bounded off towards the forest once I thought I was deep enough in I phased and got dressed as I headed back I heard barks and howls I started to run. Once I got there I saw Seth and Jared rolling around in wolf form fighting, "Whoa, what's going on?" I yelled to Sam as I ran over to him "STOP IT!" I yelled at Seth and Jared who where still going at it. "They got in to an um…fight." Sam said his arms crossed, "You just have to let them battle it out." Sam looked over at me, the two began to slow down and slowly they stopped then they phased, in front of me, not something I wanted to see. "Uh…" Then Idashed off into the woods, I'm sure that everything was going to be fine but it was still embarrassing. About five minutes later I saw Seth walking up to me "Are you okay?" I asked worriedly, I didn't care if he was a werewolf he was still my little brother, and I didn't want him to be hurt. "I'm fine, now Jared on the other hand." Seth said shaking his head, "Why where you guys fighting?" I asked curiously, "Its nothing." He responded, I raised one eyebrow "It sure didn't look that way." Seth rolled his eyes "He just said something he shouldn't have said." I nodded, I knew I would find out sooner or later. We walked back to where the rest of the pack was, Jared looked up "Sorry, bout that…" He said I just looked away, it really didn't bother me that I saw him naked, I knew that someone would slip up at some point.
