Emily, Kim, and I were they only ones at her house, all the others were still in the forest. Emily went to the living room flipping on lights as she went, Kim and I trailing behind her. I sat down on a chair next to the sliding glass door that led to the back yard.

"Can they hear us?" I asked, Emily looked at me strangely.

"Can the boys hear us? No, not from where they are. Why?" her voice held many questions and a lot of confusion.

"You both need to stay very calm, don't alert your imprints because what I'm about to tell you is very serious and of the utmost importance. If Edward finds out about the imprint he will kill me then he will kill Quil. He doesn't love me; I'm only an object to him. He's not who everyone thinks he is, I don't even think his family knows. The most important thing, you cannot under any circumstances tell your imprints about this. He'll read their minds and then it will be too late."

"Bella…what…What are you talking about?" Emily was standing in the middle of the living room staring at me like I had grown an extra head. I stood up from the chair I was occupying and walked straight up to Emily getting inches from her face, looking her straight in the eye.

"You tell Sam about this and Quil will die." I walked over to where Kim was sitting on the couch and got down to eye level.

"If you let this slip to Jared, or Jake or anyone Quil is dead. Do you two hear me? Dead!" I screamed at both of them standing back up.

"Bella, the wolves can help you. Keep you safe." Emily tried to explain to me but she was wrong, she was so wrong.

"Keep me safe? From a vampire that can read their minds? Knows their every move? No, I will not risk all of their lives, Quils life, just to save me." I was quiet now, looking down at the ground. I loved him already, I didn't know the first thing about him but still…I loved him.

"You feel it don't you? The imprint? Well whatever you're feeling, he's feeling times a thousand. Do you know what it will do to him if you go back with Edward? It will literally kill him Bella." Now it was Emily's turn to be angry, these were her boys, her babies and I was about to hurt one of them. I didn't know I had started crying until I felt the hot moisture running down my face. Jake burst in the house just then looking around frantically, I turned away for a second to whip the tears from my face.

"Hey Jake, what's up?" I asked turning back to him a smile on my face. His eyes looked scared and a little crazy.

"It's Quil, you need to come quick." He walked towards me there would be no arguing with him right now.

"Alright Jake," he grabbed my hand and almost dragged me through the back door. He dropped my hand and walked farther into the forest. A few moments later a giant russet wolf came back out and bent down in front of me, I hopped on understanding what he wanted. And just like that we were running. I held on tight trying not to pull anything I wasn't supposed to. After a minute or so we came to a clearing in a field and Jacob bent down again. I climbed off of him, not turning around so he could phase and put his shorts back on. What I saw in front of me was something I don't think any normal person would have been able to process. There were four giant wolves in a half circle around one dark brown wolf who was letting out growls and whines that were breaking my heart. I knew then that it was Quil, I started to walk forward but Jake grabbed my arm.

"Bella wait," whatever he had to say I didn't hear. I just kept walking; ignoring the warning growls from the other wolves, all I cared about was Quil. I had my hand out stretched, Quils massive head snapped in my direction. He let out a loud whimper and dropped his head, I ran my hand through his fur and he was immediately still. I stepped forward and pressed my forehead to his much larger one.

"It's all going to be ok. I promise Quil, it's going to be ok." I felt him quiver and suddenly it wasn't a wolf in front of me but a man, a man who looked like he was holding on to the last bit of hope that was left in this world. I heard him whispering my name over and over again. I turned back around still holding Quil who was kneeling grasping onto my waist for dear life.

"Can one of you go get him something to wear?" I said to the wolves, then turned back to Quil. Running my fingers through his hair until there was someone behind me tapping me on my shoulder, I turned to find Sam with a pair of cut off in his hand.

"Thank you. Can you give us a minute?" I asked taking the shorts from him.

"I don't think that's a good-"Sam began but I cut him off with my hand.

"Please, just give us one minute Sam." I begged I didn't wait for his answer as I turned back to Quil. "Quil sweetie, put these on and then we can talk ok?" he didn't say anything just nodded. I tried to talk a step back but he tightened his grip on my waist. "Baby its ok, I'm not going anywhere." My own words shocked me, I couldn't lie to him I knew that. I would just put that off till later. I took a step back this time he let me. I turned around to give him some privacy a few seconds later I heard him clear his throat and turned back around. He was looking down at the ground his fists clenched. I took a step towards him but he raised his hand to stop me. I was confused but I wouldn't question him right now.

"I'm sorry about the way I acted; I could have gotten you hurt. It was unacceptable." The look on his face was so serious and sullen like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. I walked towards him as he tensed up.

"You look like Sam right now, I hate it. Where's Quil?" I put my hands on either side of his face and made him look at me. Looking into his eyes then it was like it happened all over again; I felt all the love, the hope, the promise of a better life, I felt and saw it all there in his eyes. I knew then that I couldn't leave him, but what could I do? If Edward found out…we would both die.

"Things are about to get complicated." No truer words have been spoken.
