Everything was becoming too much, as my head rushed with the nights events. After hearing that bit of information at the end of the night, I decided my party time was over, and excused myself, with everyone shouting after me. Delyn drove my baby down to the luxurious house, and questioned me what was wrong, since it was so late, and he had been trying to sleep. I told him I didn't feel like talking, which was a little too harsh, and we rode in silence, my head pressed against the window gloomily.

This morning I woke up to the smell of my favorite chocolate pancakes with strawberry syrup, but the thought of eating couldn't reach my stomach. I hadn't been able to sleep a wink, with the surprising truth of my life finally revealed. How was I supposed to tell my family? The pack, the guys, Delyn. Oh god, how was I supposed to tell Delyn, he'd say I was just another one of those leaches, and I should never talk to the pack again. The thought alone made my heart ache. I was a traitor in their eyes, a filthy blood sucker, and nothing could ever change it. Nothing.

I clenched my teeth and pounded the wall. It just wasn't fair, how dare they just drop in all high and mighty, dropping this devastating bomb on me like it was nothing. It was a disgrace to me, an embarrassment, and boy was I angry.

I pounded harder, and tears poured down like a mid summer's rainfall. The blood was rushing to my head, and pounding in my ears.



Scream, kick, I dare you! Let it all out!

It seemed to say. I kicked the wall, now blubbering like an idiot, when Jacob appeared at the door, now watching my episode.

"What the hell is going on hope?!" he shook his header in awe.

I clenched my teeth breathing deeply before I exploded on him, "WHEN WERE YOU PLANNING ON TELLING ME MY PARENTS WERE FILTHY LEECHES, HUH? WHEN JACOB, WHEN?"

He stood frozen in shock not knowing what to say. "Hope…"

"DON'T HOPPPEE ME, I TRUSTED YOU, AND YOU LIED TO ME, BETTER YET YOU TAUGHT ME THAT MY OWN PARENTS WERE ENEMIES." I was so angry that I didn't notice Delyn, Ellie, and Adey all standing in the door way appalled of my outrage.

Delyn managed to choke out, "What? You're a leech?" I sobbed more wiping my nose, and turning to focus on my shoe, rather than look him in the eyes. I felt a lot more for Delyn than just friends since that night last week when I thought he was going to kiss me. A lot had happened since then.

"I GUESS YOU HATE ME NOW RIGHT? I GUESS I SHOULD LEAVE HUH? WELL I WILL, I'LL LEAVE RIGHT NOW!" I stomped around throwing my clothes into an old adidas bag. Then breathed a deep breath through my nose, and shook my head.

Warm comforting arms enveloped me in a hug, and I rested my forehead against the owner's shoulder.

"Oh Hope honey, we could never hate you, we'll work this out there is no reason for you to leave." Ellie smiled at me gripping me tighter, as I began to gently hug her back, calming down.

"It doesn't matter who or where you came from, all it matters is who you are, and you're part of OUR family, no matter who likes it or not," she stated proudly whispering into my ears the last part, "No matter what." I hugged her with all my strength now, no longer openly sobbing but a faint grin spreading across my face.

"Hop go bye-bye?" Adey looked at me with cute little questioning eyes.

"Nope." I grinned knowingly, "Hope stay right here." Then I picked her up and held her to me.

I looked to Delyn, and he was wearing a scowling look. "I can't believe your parents are leeches." He acted like he had smelled something bad.

"That's right, they're vampires, blood sucking creatures of the night, but who am I to judge? They love me a lot, and maybe I love them back." I said triumphantly.

"How could you, you barely know them," he sassed. I glared at him shoving him as I went down stairs to eat, my appetite had recently returned due to all the drama.



"How many pancakes would you like hope?" Ellie asked from the stove while holding a tired brayden in her left arm. Jacob came to take brayden to his room, and planted a kiss on my hair before leaving the room. I was so entirely glad they accepted me. Well almost everyone.

After helping with the dishes I went up to my room and laid upon my bed wondering what my parents were like, why couldn't they keep me? Was I a disgrace, a human baby? Wait, one of them would have had too have been human when I was born, why did they leave me? I thought about what my new family would be like, but then it hit me. They would want me back, I would have to leave my family behind, a new school, away from the pack, away from the blacks, away from kacee, away from…Delyn.

I couldn't do that, I want to stay with the pack. I felt like I was ready to cry again just thinking about it. I think I had started to cry.

I walked to my piano and sat down skimming my fingers across the page, I had wrought a song recently, about my life with my family, and my friends, and I figured it would help me if I heard it.

So I began to play it singing along the best I could.

Well it's on my mind, I'm heading back in time and when I think of all the songs we used to play and then I
think of you and it's alright. I think of you and it's alright.
Well it's this sort of thing that gets me to lose my mind and it's the flash, flashy eyes that make it worthwhile.
Every time when we get together we just fall in love again.

I got more and more into the music as my voice sung on, my hands drifting about the keys like magic. I just couldn't stop, when everything felt so real, memories flooding my head.

All in all it's the perfect scene and there's not anywhere that I'd rather be and it's now now or never when we're chasing our dreams. We're getting close now don't turn away!

It's on my mind I've got, I've got it all and I wanted you to come inside. It only takes
just a second when you understand you're out of time. It only takes just a second when you
understand you're out of time.

All in all it's the perfect scene and there's not anywhere that I'd rather be and it's now
now or never when we're chasing our dreams. We're getting close now don't turn away!

Don't turn away!

As I finished the notes, I heard clapping coming from behind me, and I slowly turned to see Delyn smiling at me.

"I liked it, and it sounds perfect for us, our family." He put emphasis on "our." I smiled at him blushing.

"Thanks, it was kind of a spur of the moment creative thing, I wrote it a few days ago after…" I stopped blushing again, seeing as I was about to say that night I thought you were going to kiss me.



Delyn walked to my bed and sat down, I followed his lead and sat down next to him, our knees just barely touching, but that was enough for my emotions to go haywire.

"Look…" he started out slowly, breathing deeply, "I'm sorry about what I said, or didn't say." He frowned.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I like having you in this family, and I guess I forgot that you can't change who or what in your case, your parents are, and I'm just going to have to get over it, because if you except them, I will too."

I smiled slowly, and hugged him tightly to me. "Thanks so much Del." Then I looked him straight in the eyes and noticed the intensity of them. Slowly we both inched forward, I was prepared for him to fake me out again, but was slightly surprised when his cool, gentle lips caressed mine in a sweet manner. I kissed him back, taking in the beautiful moment, seeing as I had been waiting for this, maybe even longer than I actually knew. His hand held my cheek, and I wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing closer to him.

A few seconds later we broke apart, gasping for air. "Ha even werewolves need to breath," I teased, and he stuck his tongue out at me in a childish way.

He kissed my lips gently again, only letting it last a second. "This certainly changes things." He stated coolly.

"I'd have to agree Mr. Black," I grinned. He picked me up effortlessly and set me gently on the ground.

"What now?" I couldn't help but stare into his gorgeous blue eyes. I was woken out of trance to the sound of shouting and yelling.

Me and Delyn raced downstairs, he beating me by a landslide of course, and out the front door. The whole pack was in the front door, first and second generation, wives, and imprints, children, and everyone else. Jacob ran up to us, a worried look upon his face.

"A group of new born vampires has invaded the town, they are on a killing rampage." He stated shortly, and motioned to all the pack members.

Delyn raised both eyebrows. "It was probably friends of those…" he looked to me apologizing silently. I nodded, and Jacob continued, "We can't go out into the city, without exposing us all, so we have to lure them into the woods and trap them or something." He seemed a little on edge.

"How many of them are there?" Delyn asked thinking.

"Forty," Jacob said sighing. Oh god. Then the perfect idea hit me.

"The cullens" I stated trying to give them help.

"Yeah, what about them?" Delyn questioned.



"Get help from them, work together, beat the bad vampires." I stated in an obvious way. Apparently they were oblivious to this idea though.

"There's no way we are working with them," Delyn stated flatly. Jacob jumped in, "It's been done before, we joined forces, the year you were born hope." He said serious, "It didn't change anything between us."

"But we have to try!" I said exasperated, "It could be the only way to beat them!" the pack was now listening to the conversation, of course all them failed to agree, stubborn as ever.

That's when the girls got in on it. "I think we should do it," Emily spoke up highly. "What bad could it do if we don't ever try it?" Kim shook her head and agreed.

"Enough." Sam raised his hands staring at me. "We'll do it, just call them and come to the border line.

We were all standing at the border line. The Cullens, and hunter, me, the blacks, the uleys, the calls, the ateras, the clear waters, and others.

"We have come to tell you that a group of your kind is wreaking havoc on the reservation." Sam's voice boomed through the forest, and Carlisle, my grandfather, who looked no younger than twenty stepped up to match his authority.

"Yes our Alice, has informed us using her gift, premonitions." All eyes were on her as she stepped up next to Carlisle.

"We have come to ask that from this day forward we will be at piece no more hatred between us." Sam tried to say as nice as possible, others still glaring across the line. I walked over between Sam and Carlisle and stuck one foot on each side of the invisible treaty line. Everyone looked to me.

"Enough anger and hatred!" I said trying to get my point out, "You both share the same fate, which you do not want! But to hate each other for it? That's just hypocritical! I don't care if it has always been like this." I said mockingly. "This fighting will come to an end for once, these childish games are over."

Just then Delyn strode over next to me and planted one foot on each side. I smiled at him thankfully. My mother, Bella stood facing me with both feet on the wolf side. Go mom! I smiled at her and hugged her tightly finally accepting her. Soon everyone was crossing sides and mixing boundaries, shaking hands and talking.

"We need to join together, get to know each other, the reservation is doomed without our help. And yours." I looked to the Cullen's faces.

"Will you help us?"

AN/ I finished it! And frankly I love it! I hope you do to! I'm working on the sequel and I already have it planned out, the prologue for hope is actually going to be the summary for the sequel.

Review if you want a sequel and you loved the ending!
