I know some people think Paul and Mary are moving fast, but she already knows they belong together, so that kinda cuts the time in half. Also, thanks for the reviews. Yes, I guess Mary's powers are kinda like Pheobe's from Charmed, I never really thought of that. I tried to make her realistic. Ever power has it's downsides. Unlike Alice, she can also see the past, but it takes more out of her as you seen with the bag of ash. She also can only see the end decision, and like Alice, only when someone makes a decision. So, I hope she isn't too powerful to be real. I was trying to make her character a cross in between Jacob and Alice. Both happy and chipper, but with a hell of a temper. She needs to be able to tame Paul's beast. And not in the perverted .


Chapter 6

Mary was woken from her peaceful bliss by a door slamming. She looked around to see Jacob had come back to bed and had his arm around her. She reached out and touched the wall and her eyes widened to saucers when she realized what happened. Bella had come to talk to Jake and had seen them in bed with each other.

Mary jumped up and ran through the house. She stopped by an amused Billy.

"Did she say where she was going?" Mary asked quickly.

"She said down on the beach. I tried to tell her, but she wouldn't listen."

Mary nodded and took off through the door. She ran quickly through the woods till she came to the beach. She saw a small, well small compared to what she was used to seeing, girl with brown hair sitting on a log staring at the ocean.

Mary walked quickly towards her. "Bella?" The girl in question turned her head and gave an angry glare.

"Bella, it's not what it looked like. Jacob is my cousin. I'm sorta with Paul. Please....Jake will never forgive me if you think we're together."

Bella furrowed her eyebrows, "Your cousins? I didn't know he had a cousin."

Mary nodded her head and took a seat next to her. "Yeah, I didn't know it till recently either. My mother was Billy's baby sister. She was 10 yrs younger than him. She ran away and had a one night stand. She died when I was born and I grew up with my father. When I learned that I had family I was on the first plane here." Mary giggled, "They weren't too happy when I just showed up on their doorstep."

"So, your just his cousin?" Bella asked.

Mary nodded. "Yeah, he loves you, you know. I don't even think he thinks about other girls that way anymore."

"You look familiar. I think it's the way you act like someone I used to know." Bella said while wincing.

Mary nodded then they both turned their heads when Jacob came jogging down the beach. Mary stood.

"Well, I'll be going now. Bella, I want you to remember something. You always have a choice. Sometimes the easier road is the better one. You don't always have to work for what you want. I know you don't know what I'm talking about, but please just remember. Well, I'm off for now. I'll see you guys later."

Mary didn't bother knocking when she got to Sams. She just walked in and plopped herself down on the couch. She picked up a magazine and started to read it.

"Uh...where's Jake?" Jared asked from the floor where he was playing a game. Mary didn't look up but answered anyway.

"Oh, yeah, in about 5 minutes one of you need to go all wolfie and talk to him."

"How do you know that?" Jared asked. Mary raised her eyes to him.

"Psychic remember?"

"Oh, yeah, well I'll go." Jared got up and walked out the house. Paul came over and sat next to her.

"So..." He said.

"So..." Mary said.

"I guess you already know?"

"Yup. I know everything. Well most things. All the little details, I don't know. I know the what, but not the why." Mary shook her head and scrunched up her face. "I just confused myself."

Paul laughed and grabbed her hand. "No, I get it. So you know I imprinted on you, but you don't know why?" She nodded. "Well, I guess it's so we find our perfect match. It makes it so the wolf gene will be passed on to future generations. Um..." He was broken off by Jared rushing into the house.

"Jake wants a pack meeting." The boys all looked at Mary.

"Hey, don't look at me. Let's see....I should probably go with you. It seems the only way for Paul to keep his temper is if I'm with you."

They all walked to a little clearing where they usually held their pack meetings. Mary curled into Paul's side. They watched as Jacob came into sight and Bella peaked out from behind him. Mary felt Paul start to shake.

"Why can't you just obey the rules, Jacob." Mary put her hand on Pauls shoulder and he calmed down somewhat.

"Guys, he actually has every right to bring her..." They all looked at Mary then back at Jacob who was staring at Bella. Their eyes widened at the realization.

"Anyways...Bella has something to tell us." Mary said. They all looked at Bella who blushed bright red and tried to hide behind Jacob.

"Tell them, Bella. Tell them what you told me." Jacob encouraged her.

"Um...I know what the red head wants." She said.

"What?" asked Embry.

"Me." Bella said as she hung her head.

Mary sighed. "The red head wants Bella, mate for mate, right?"

Bella nodded. Mary scrunched up her face. "I don't know anything else. Um...this is going to sound weird, but Bella do you have a ring I could borrow?"

Bella nodded and pulled off a chunky ring off her middle finger and handed it to Mary. Mary put it on and closed her eyes. When she opened them she shook her head. There were too many things. Bella had a lot of decisions to make.

"Sam? Isn't Emily making breakfast? Maybe we could go there and talk?" Mary asked him.

He nodded. Mary bounced over to Bella, took her hand and drug her to her truck. She pushed Bella in the passenger side and bounced into the drivers side. She started the beast and flew at top speed which was only 60 mph to Emily's.

"Will you slow down? We're going to wreck."

"No, we won't. I don't wreck." Mary said as she was pulling into Emily's driveway. It was true. As long as she had her hands on the steering wheel, she knew what was going on. Mary turned to Bella as she put the truck in park.

"Hey, I want you to listen to me for a second. I know you don't know me, but, give Jacob a chance. There is a lot more going on than what people will tell you. It isn't my place to tell you anything, but just please give him a chance."

Bella wrapped her arms around herself. "I can't....I'm too broken...I'm no good for him."

Mary set her hand on Bella's shoulder. "Bella, there is no one better for him. Just promise me you'll think about it."

Bella nodded and got out of the truck. Mary followed her into the house. Emily was making muffins and the boys were gobbling them down. Mary walked over and plopped down on Paul's lap. If he wasn't going to make the first moves, then she would.

Mary leaned back against him and closed her eyes. She concentrated on Bella's future. Pictures were flickering back and forth. Mary huffed and opened her eyes. Sometime in the next week, Bella had a big decision to make.

"You ok?" a husky voice asked her. She shivered and looked up at Paul who was smirking.

"I'm fine. Though you guys need to watch the cliffs for the next week. Also, you'll be getting a surprise pack member"

The boys all perked up and looked at her. Bella looked very confused.

"Yeah, um....this new pack member will be quite the surprise." She looked down.

"Well, from the looks of it, Quil is there. He just has to get mad enough." Sam announced. The boys all looked down. Mary huffed and jumped up.

"Enough! You guys all act like this is the end of the world. You guys are wolves! You should be proud to have your ancestors blood flowing through your veins. Look around you, these people are your family. I know for damn sure that if this never happened, you would never give any of these people the time of day before. This pack is going to grow to sizes never seen before. People that under normal circumstances would never even look twice at you. You will be put through some of the hardest times of your life, but guess what? Your pack, your family will always be there for you. Some of you have never had a family before, now you do, and you act like it's the worst thing ever. Well, I for one and glad you guys all changed."

Mary turned to glare at Jared, "You! You and Paul were the biggest assholes in school. Kim had a crush on you for years! Yet you never gave her the time of day. Where would you be if you had never changed? You wouldn't have Kim, that's for sure. So, please grow up and stop complaining over every little thing that didn't go your way. People are dying out there, and your complaining on how much your life sucks!"

She plopped back down and crossed her arms over her chest and glared at the table. Emily came over and set the food on the table.

"I second that. Now, foods ready."

After everyone ate, Sam cleared his throat. "Now, that everyone is fed, Bella, could you please tell us what the leech wants."

Bella looked at Jacob who nodded at her. "Well, she wants me."

"But your human." Paul said. Mary nudged him and he actually looked sheepish. The pack all laughed.

"Well, Ed...the Cullens killed her mate last spring. He was after me. He was a hunter and he liked the chase. They killed him and now she wants me dead. Mate for Mate. She doesn't know.....that they aren't here anymore."

"Yes, we have bait!" Jared announced.

Jacob growled. "You are not using Bella for bait." Then he picked up a can opener and chucked it at Jared's head, who batted it out of the air like it was nothing.

Mary laughed at Bella's wide eyes. "Get used to it. I'm like a little rag doll for these boys. They just throw me around."

"It's because your so small. I don't know why, me with the worst temper, got stuck with someone so tiny."

Mary stuck out her bottom lip, and made her eyes water. She looked up at Paul and sniffled. "Don't you...want me?" Her voice cracked.

Paul's eyes got real big. "No...I mean...yes....I mean.....please don't do this to me." He all but groaned at the end.

Mary bit her lip to keep in her smile, but ended up busting out laughing. She turned a little bit and wrapped her arms around Pauls neck, still laughing.

The boys all lost it.

"She got you soooo whipped man." Embry said.

Paul growled at him, but held Mary a little bit closer. "Just wait. You'll get yours."

"Yeah, and when you do, we'll all be here to rub it in your face." Mary said and stuck out her tongue.
