BPOV

I woke up in the middle of the night, looking at my alarm clock and noting it was 2.30AM, I decided to get up and have a drink. The house was eerily quiet and I couldn't hear Jared snoring like I normally could. The kitchen was bathed in moonlight and the floor was cold against my bare feet. I poured myself some milk and leant against the counter, wondering when the boys were going to tell me their secret.

A howl burst from the silence of the night and I jumped in shock. Then I heard laughing and the door open. I stood frozen, not knowing what to do, should I run for it, or hide? Then someone said 'I'll see you later Jared, you're patrolling again at 2.00PM, get some sleep.'

I breathed a sigh of relief realising it was only Jared but was he doing up at this time? He walked into the kitchen and looked at me in surprise.

'Bells? What are you doing up?'

'I woke up and came down to get a drink? Why are you up? And who was that at the door?'

'Ermmmm.. can I explain tomorrow and right now I'm really tired.'

'Fine. But you will tell me.' I replied huffily and walked up the stairs.

I heard another howl come from the woods as I got settled back into bed and I drifted off to sleep.

'Run Bella, you need to run!' a huge black wolf shouted at me. 'Go now! Save yourself!'

I looked around in confusion; we were in a blue forest filled with these little purple bouncy things that were squealing as they came towards me. I ran - as the wolf told me too. I reached a bouncy castle and crashed into my brother. He started vibrating and then launched himself at the purple bouncy things turning into a wolf at the same time. I shook my head. Then one of the purple things bit me. I cried out in pain and started screaming.

'Bells! Bella! Wake up!'

'Huh, woah, Jared?'

'Honey you were screaming in your sleep.'

'Oh, it was a bad dream I guess.'

A howl came from the forest and Jared told me he had to run. He left and I took a shower and headed down for some breakfast.

'Morning Bella.' My dad said cheerily.

'Morning Dad, sleep well?'

'Yep, out like a light, you?'

'No actually, I woke up and went downstairs and I saw Jared coming home at 2.30AM. 2.30AM!'

Charlie just smiled. 'It's fine, he told me, he went out with some friends.'

'Hmm, do you know where he's gone now?'

'Pretty sure he went down to Jake's to help fix his car.'

'I'll go join them, I need something to do.'

I grabbed my keys for my new truck and drove down to Jake's. The rain was pelting down, causing the windscreen wipers to have to work extra hard. I pulled up and jumped out the cab. I knocked on the door and Billy answered.

'Bella! Hi! Come in before you get drenched. How are you?' He wheeled himself backwards and rolled towards the living room.

'I'm good Billy, it's good to see you, I'm actually looking for Jake and Jared, you seen them?'

'Yeah, they're in the garage I think, you go off and have fun.'

'Thanks Billy, I'll see you later!'

I headed out to the garage and rounded the corner to see Jared and Jake with their tops off bent over the car's engine. They were discussing what parts they thought they needed with another guy who was sat watching them. He looked up and saw me.

'Hey Jared, your sister's here.'

'Oh, hey Bells, you okay?'

'Good thanks, I need something to do today though and Dad said you were down here so I thought I'd join you.'

'Good morning, Bella is it, as your brother failed to introduce me, I'm Paul.' He smiled at me in what he obviously thought was a seductive manner. His eyes pierced mine and I smiled back wearily.

'Hey Paul.'

'Paul, stop flirting with my sister and go get us some food.'

'Fine. See you in a bit.'

I took Paul's now vacant seat and watched as Jake and Jared began to fix the car. Paul came back and we ate our lunch catching up on what the boys' school was like and their other friends. At around 4.00 there was a howl from the woods and the boys looked at each other obviously hoping I wouldn't notice it.

'I don't know what's going on, but Jared you will be telling me.'

'Look I'm sorry Bells but we have got to run, stay here. I need a lift home. Thanks.' He gave me a kiss on the cheek and ran out of the garage.

'What am I supposed to do 'til you get back?' I shouted at an empty room. The garage was cobweb ridden and there were no real places to sit. I slunk down onto the floor and pulled my Ipod out. The relaxing sounds of Dido filled my ears.

I sat there for a good 45 minutes waiting for the boys to come back. When they did get back, I was ready to go home.

'Sorry Bells, let's go home.'

We drove home and headed to bed.

Just as I was reaching the top of the stairs Jared said quietly, 'Bells, I'll tell you tomorrow, but we have to do it at Sam's place, he needs to be there.' And I knew immediately what he was talking about.

'Thank Jared. Night.'

Tomorrow I would get my answers.
