I had a hard time writing this one so I hope it's okay. Jacob finally makes an appearance so let me know what ya think. See ya at the bottom. Oh and I'm sure it doesn't need to be said but SM owns this, not me except the O'Quinns, they are mine and Aunt Dora is not affiliated with the kids show Dora the Explorer. Don't ask how I know about that show!

Chapter 7-Nice Doggy

I woke up the next morning and was expecting to see the stars and moons that decorated my room, but found myself looking at purple walls and I smacked myself for forgetting that I had come back to Charlie's last night.

I thought about the last couple of weeks and all I had learned. I came to the decision that in no way was I ready to be a witch and that I should go back soon to learn more. I also decided that maybe it was time I left Forks and go spend some time with my aunt. In time I could come back here when I was stronger and more comfortable with my magic.

I decided to get up and get ready for the day. After I showered and dressed I went downstairs to get some breakfast, sighing because I had been spoiled in Ireland by all the meals that had been cooked for me. Food had lost its substance in the months that HE had been gone, but I had found it again, and now I was starving all the time.

I checked in on Charlie to let him know I was back, but he wasn't in his room. I saw that the cruiser was gone, but I made enough for the two of us anyways. I knew he had been eating at the diner since I left and I made a mental note to teach him how to cook some things before I left.

I was getting the butter and eggs out of the fridge when I heard someone yell "Freeze" and the distinct sound of a gun being cocked met my ears. I screamed and dropped all the stuff in my arms. "Jesus Dad, what the hell" I screamed at him.

"Holy Hell, sorry Bells, I thought you were still with your aunt. There have been a few break-ins around the area and I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry Hun" my dad said while he put his gun away.

"S'okay Dad. I thought maybe you knew I was home or that Aunt Dora told you" I told him as I cleaned up the mess of eggs on the floor. I was relieved to see my Dad put his gun on the table and help me clean up.

"No, she didn't and I was working all night. When did you get in anyways?" he asked.

"Last night" I told him simply not really in the mood to explain much else.

"Hmmm, okay. Well, happy to have ya home kid. Listen, I'm gonna head to bed and catch some sleep. Be careful if you go out okay? There's been some wolf sightings around town and with all the break-ins…Look, I know you can more than likely protect yourself like your Mom and aunt, but I wouldn't be your Dad if I didn't worry and say something okay" he stated as he went up the stairs and I nodded.

I went back to making something to eat when the thought of wolves hit me again. Maybe I kept seeing them because they were a threat to this town. Maybe Aunt Dora sent me back so I could protect this place. With that figured out I set about making breakfast again and then I was going down to see Jake and ask why the hell he was avoiding me.

I sat on my bed wiping the few tears I had while I thought the day over. It had been a complete disaster.

I drove to La Push and found Quil, who was one of Jake's friends, walking along the side of the road and I offered him a ride. He mentioned Jake had been hanging out with Sam and the rest of his friends and I thought it odd since a few weeks ago Jake couldn't stand the sight of him.

I dropped Quil off at his place and made my way to Jake's. I found him walking outside in the rain in nothing but a pair of shorts and a tee shirt with no sleeves. It was freezing outside and he had just gotten over mono. I mean what the hell!

I had jumped out of the truck and confronted him, but Jake basically told me to "fuck off" and leave him alone and then he ran off with Sam and his friends. It was a weird day and I couldn't help but be upset. I knew Jake liked me a little more than a friend. He had made it known and said he would wait until I was ready, but I would never be ready. I guess he was tired of waiting.

I never knew how much I needed him and the thought of him not being around was unbearable, to say the least.

I dried my eyes again and sighed as I got into bed only to be interrupted by the sound of something hitting the glass on my window. Immediately the sparks in my fingers came out and I saw it in the mirror thinking I looked like a comic book character as I made my way to the window. I opened it ready to hit them with what I had when I saw it was Jake down on the ground. I willed the sparks to die down; no need to freak him out on top of pissing him off.

"Jake, what the hell are you doing here?" I whisper yelled.

"Move, I'm coming up" he said softly.

I moved out of the way and my jaw hit the floor as Jake dropped in through my window. I wanted to ask how the hell he did that, but since I just learned I was a witch I decided to leave well enough alone.

We stood there in awkward silence for a moment and I hated it. He was my best friend and yet I never felt more uncomfortable than I did standing here with him. My hackles were up; something didn't seem right and I could see my shield thing on the edge of my vision wanting to come out and the power running through me as my mind screamed at me that there was danger and that I needed to be careful.

Total crap I thought, since it was just Jake, but I guess my feelings were still raw from earlier and my instincts were getting confused.

"Hey" he said and I could see he was feeling the tension just as much as I was.

"What do you want Jake?" I sighed.

"Just seeing how you're doing" he said softly as he looked at the floor.

I hated the distance between us, but I couldn't help it. He hurt me and now he was here to do what? Apologize? Take it back? Screw him.

"Well, I'm fine so just go back to Sam, you are his disciple now aren't ya?" I spat in anger

"Bells it's not like that. Look, I didn't mean those things today. I wish I could tell you why I said them, but I can't. Bella you have no idea how much I wish I could tell you everything. How much I wish things were different" he pleaded and I could see his eyes were sad.

"What's going on Jake? I hate this, what the heck did they do to you?" I said yanking him towards me and he held my hands in his. I could see him staring at the crescent shaped scar given to by James and I pulled my arm away and made sure to pull down my sleeve.

"Bella, do you remember when you first came to Forks and we were on the beach in LaPush?" he asked and I nodded.

"Do you remember the story?" he asked and I nodded again.

"Yeah, I mean of course. About the enemy tribe, the Cold Ones" I stated.

"Of course you would remember that part" he sighed.

"Look, I can't stay long; they'll know I disobeyed orders. Please Bella try to remember. Things will be so much better if you do" he said quickly and then jumped out the window.

I was shocked and ran to my window to make sure he hadn't broken his neck, but I looked to see that he had landed flat on his feet and was running off in to the woods.

No one could jump that far and not get hurt except a vampire. What the hell? I knew Jake wasn't a vampire; he was too warm, he was soft and his eyes were the same color they always were.

My head was throbbing with the thoughts of what this could mean and from the whole day so I decided that maybe sleeping might be a better idea.

As I slept I dreamt of Danu's mirror again. I was back at the fountain. Just I amongst the ruins and the mirror was ready to go. I dreamt that I asked the mirror again where Jake was and just like the last time, it showed me that damn wolf. I tried to wake myself up, but instead the images in the water changed again and this time I heard Jake's voice as they ran after Laurent only for it to change once more to images of some American Indians in clothes from my history book. What was up with that? Jake's voice was saying something about wolves and his people being able to turn into them. And again an image of the big brown wolf I saw in our meadow was shown, but this time it was Jake's face I saw in the wolf's eyes.

I woke with a start. My heart was pounding and my palms were sweating. There was no way that Jake was a freaking werewolf. I mean vampires sure, but werewolves? It was then that my aunt's voice came to me and I remember her telling me how we looked after this world and werewolves were one of the creatures that we were destined to watch over and keep the creatures from harming humans.

"HOLY HELL! JAKE IS A WEREWOLF!" my mind screamed at me and I wanted to jump out of bed and go down there, but it was still dark. I was too keyed up to sleep so I finally unpacked my suitcase, cleaned up my room and then took a shower. I then went downstairs and saw my Dad sitting at the kitchen table, looking a lot more rested, drinking a cup of coffee.

"Morning Dad" I said while I grabbed a pop tart out of the cupboard.

"Morning Bells, what are you doing up so early?" he asked.

"Oh umm I couldn't sleep. Aunt Dora always had me up early to practice and I got a little used to it" I lied. I was going to ask him the same thing, but I saw he had his uniform on so I suspected he was going to work.

"I see, well I'm off to work. There was an incident over in Sequim so it may be a while before I get home" he told me.

"What happened" I asked.

"Another animal attack" he told me.

"Alright but be careful okay" I told him and hugged him at the door. I heard a slight gasp, maybe the fact that I hugged him since my father and I were never really that affectionate with each other, but I chose to ignore it. He hugged me a little tighter and then grabbed his coat and walked out the door. I followed after him and sang out "Hey Dad, be careful okay?"

"No worries Bells, I always am" he answered and sped off in the cruiser.

I was driving towards LaPush trying to figure out what the hell I was gonna say to Jacob. I mean how does one say to their friend "Hey Jake, so yeah umm, are you a werewolf? Could you and the rest of the guys stop killing off the locals? Thanks and bye" Yeah that would go over real well.

"Hey Jake, so yeah hi. Listen I figured out you turned into a big hairy beast and while I may be a witch I would really like if you and your friends would stop all these animal attacks. I really don't wanna torch your furry butt. Okay!" Good god that was worse.

What the hell was I gonna say to him?

I pulled onto the lawn and knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. I anxiously shuffled my feet and looked around making sure that everything was alright. I heard movement and then the door opened and Billy was on the other side.

"Bella, what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Hey Billy, is Jake here?" I said nervously.

"He's not here" he sighed, but my mind said otherwise.

"Sorry Billy, I know he is and I really need to speak with him" I said as I made my way inside.

"Bella, he isn't here" Billy huffed and I ignored him as I made my way to Jake's room only to find him asleep in his bed.

I decided to let him sleep and wait in my truck. I turned to leave only to see Sam and his friends making their way towards the house and I saw red. How dare they make Jake do those horrible things. I needed to know which one of them turned him so I ran out of the house towards them.

"WHICH ONE OF YOU DID IT?" I screeched as the boys stopped in their tracks.

The one named Paul laughed and smacked Embry in the shoulder saying "Look Embry, think she'll throw a tantrum?" he said and the other boys laughed too.

"Cool it guys" Sam said "Look Bella, you got it all wrong"

"Wrong, which one of you turned him into a monster?" I sneered.

"Monster, what did he say? He told you didn't he?" Paul spat and I noticed the laughs died off.

"He didn't tell me a damn thing, he's afraid of you" I hissed and they laughed again.

I got so pissed that I slapped Paul in the face and called him a bastard. Then the shit hit the fan. Paul started to shake and his face turned red. I could see and hear Sam trying to calm him down, but it wasn't working. Then his clothes ripped off as this big snarling grey wolf stood in his place.

"Guess the cat's outta the bag now" I heard someone say, but I was too busy backing up as the snarling wolf stalked towards me.

"You mean the wolf" someone else laughed but I was backing up some trying to put some distance between me and Cujo in front of me.

"BELLA!" I heard someone yell and saw Jake running towards me.

I heard a huge growl and Paul leapt at me, but something inside me snapped and the sky grew darker.

"Bad doggie" I hissed as the wolf was stopped mid-flight.

"What the fuck?" I heard someone yell as the wolf struggled in mid-air.

"You should have listened to your leader lad" I said and again wondered where the hell this accent came from. It seemed every time I did something magical the Irish accent would come out. I decided to ask Aunt Dora about that the next time I spoke to her.

I saw the big brown wolf from before beside me and I squeaked in fright but he bowed and crawled towards me.

"Jake?" I whispered and the big wolf nodded as his tongue hung out.

I heard the Paul wolf whimper and I lowered him to the ground and said "Stay".

"Nice Bella" Embry hooted and I smiled.

The air shimmered and I saw that both boys had turned back to their human form and quickly hauled on some clothes, but not before I got an eyeful of Jacob's ass. It was a nice ass, but kinda gross since I thought of him more as my brother.

"Bella would you mind telling us what the fuck that was?" Jacob said when he came back.

"In a minute, but first tell me, are you a werewolf?" I asked.

"Guys, could you give us a minute?" he said to the group of guys and I saw Sam nod and then they all walked off.

"I knew you would remember" he whispered as he hugged me and I pushed him back.

"So it's true?" I hissed in both fright and anger.

"Yeah, it is. So what" he shrugged like it was no big deal.

"Jake, you and the pack, you need to stop" I wailed.

"What are you talking about?" he asked with frustration.

"Jake, you and the rest of the guys, you're killing people" I whispered hysterically while I tried to keep the electricity in my fingers down. They sensed danger and it was right in front of me.

"Bella, don't you see? We're not the ones killing anyone. We're the ones trying to protect everyone from what is killing them. The only thing we do kill, what were meant to kill" he explained.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Vampires Bella. The cold ones" he said and I gasped.

"But Jake, you can't. I mean vampires can't be killed. They'll kill you first" I said quickly.

"Humph, tell that to the dumbass with the long black hair. We tore his pale ass apart" he said with pride and I saw his chest puff out a little and I snickered a bit.

"How? I mean Jake, you can't kill vampires, they're strong and fast" I was still shocked.

"It's what we're meant for Bells. Don't worry, we can't touch the Cullens, but all the others are toast. The red head is first" he told me and my blood ran cold.

"R..re…red head" I stuttered.

"Yeah. She's been in an out of the area and we're not sure why" he told me and I shook wanting to bolt and maybe go back to Ireland where it was safe.

"Me…she wants me" I stammered.

"What was that?" Jake asked and I told him the whole sordid tale and nearly choked on Edward's name.

Jake took it all in as we walked along the beach and I found myself becoming calmer as the water rolled in. I found peace in the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and I closed my eyes as the scent of salt water hit my nose.

"So you gonna tell me what that was back there?" Jake asked, interrupting my thoughts. I was hoping he forgot about it. Impossible, but one could hope.

"We both have gone through changes it seems" I said softly and I saw Jake cross his arms.

"Yeah, but mine doesn't include making the sky dark, the wind to blow and freezing people in mid-fucking air" he growled "What are you? A Witch?" and just like that he hit the nail on the head.

I thought for sure it would take him a few guesses or I would have to come right out and say it, but all I did was nod as my eyes burned with tears. It felt good to say it, to know that we were both on the same side and that I could trust him with this. We both had secrets and maybe we could work together to stop Victoria.

"NO FUCKING WAY!" he yelled.

"Yeah it's true. My Aunt Dora, she's my mom's sister, came to visit and told me all about it. Oh damn, I wasn't supposed to tell you that" I gasped and felt my eyes sting with tears.

"Bells, calm down. I'm sure since I'm… well, you know what I am, that your aunt won't be mad. It's usually only mortals who can't know about people like us" he said softly while I sniffled and nodded.

He was right, my aunt had mentioned that and she didn't say I couldn't tell him, he guessed so it wasn't really breaking the rules.

"Come on, let's go to Sam's. That's where the guys are and I really need to rip on Paul for getting his ass handed to him by a girl, especially in his wolf form" He laughed as we walked back to my truck and drove to Sam's.

So what did ya think? I was going to add more but I thought where it ended was good so let me know if it was a smart choice.

Anyhow I'm out. I hope to get another one done in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for it.

Again I wanna thank my pre-readers Gooseonline, EeWee and Oona4. Chardae, Jo, Eileen, you ladies rock. "Smooches" Thanks for reading guys. See ya soon.
