A/N: Upon realization that I must be on everyone's "You're-the-worst-updater-ever" list, what with all the making of promises and then not following through, I've come to the conclusion that I must strive to work harder on this fic. My only excuse is that my laptop broke and I have like all of my work on there…but I'm still really sorry for not updating. Before I forget, the winner of my 'name -the-three-figures-in-the-sunset' is ILuvFangs13, so give me your name or any name you want, and I'll put it in the story. And now, without further ado, here is the next chapter.

It took a while, but I started to regain consciusness. At first I was just able to notice I was awake, I couldn't open my eyes—they felt like dead weights—but I started hearing the conversations that were happening around me.

"It's your faults, you stupid bloodsuckers! She would have been perfectly fine with the injection, but then you came—"

"Our fault? If you dogs hadn't felt the seemingly overwhelming need to inject her in the first place, we wouldn't have had to come to save her at all. If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't be knocked out due to something none of us seem to understand, and she most certainly would not be a…a hybrid!"

The back of my mind recognized Edward's voice as the last speaker, and Jacob's as the first. And I wouldn't have been so surprised if for some reason I just saw…red. Not the color, but for some reason I just became so angry. Angry that the people I card so much about—the people I loved—just hated each other so much. They didn't have to really, but it just seemed all they wanted to do was blame each other for everything, and then put me in the middle! I began to shake, my body acting of its own accord, jerking out at odd angles and seizing up. In the back of my mind I registered that the room had gone silent, and then that I was being crowded around. Everyone seemed to be worried about what was happening, hell, I was worried about what was happening, but I didn't totally freak out until…

"Oh my god, she's trying to shift. Oh hell, this can't be good." Sam's voice seemed mostly calm, at least from where I was…laying, apparently, but I heard at least five other sharp intakes of breath.

"That does seem to be a problem. It looks as if her wolf half is indeed trying to shift, but, perhaps, her vampire half is fighting it, or stopping the change in some way. There's no way to be certain. This seems to be more of your expertise, what do we need to do?" Carlisle's voice took on a soothing, yet commanding tone, and I felt myself relax somewhat, just trying to listen intently.

"We need to get her somewhere secluded, away from anyone she could hurt, and that includes you…Cullens." I heard a few growls, but Sam pressed on. "You may want to argue the point, but the fact is that she is part wolf, and until she learns to control that half, you are as in much, if not more, danger than anyone else." Sam's voice had a note of finality that worried me a bit, that is until my eyes flew open, and I sat up, my back ramrod straight. I couldn't move but my eyes wondered, taking in my surrounding. Jacob was closest to me, obviously he had just been about to pick me up, so the Pack could take me somewhere safe. Edward was right behind him, and the Cullens and the rest of the Pack were behind both of them. The room was eerily silent as everyone watched me.

Suddenly a pain that could only rival that of my Change came over me. It came in waves, and yelled out in agony. It seemed to follow the track of my spine, starting at my head, and then stopping at my toes, always in waves. I felt hands grab me and lift me, but for some reason I just knew that whoever touched me would be in danger while being so close to me. So I shot out both of my arms, hitting the person who was holding me. They dropped me in surprise, and then, with as much of a commanding voice as I could, I screamed "Stop!"

I could tell everyone was now frozen in their steps. I continued writhing on the floor in pain, waiting for it all to stop, when suddenly I felt almost as if my skin was ripping off my body. I began to fell myself stretch in all directions, pulled in every direction, until finally the pain and the growing both stopped. I was now most definitely a lot bigger than I was ever meant to be. Just looking at all the people scattered around me, frozen in place, I knew if I moved in any direction I would hurt one of them.

Then I heard a weird noise coming from…inside my head? Great! Now not only was I a large furry behemoth, but I had voices in my head! It started out as a whisper, and I had to really listen to hear and understand what was being said to me. I recognized the voice, it was nagging a little piece in the back of my mind…Sam? How in all that is holy in the world was—of all people—Sam, talking to me in my head?

Bella? Bella can you hear me? If you can, please, I want you to nod your head. Just, please, nod your head.

Sam could talk to the rest of the Pack! I remember how Jacob told me that the pack was able to communicate with each other telepathically. Obviously it must work for me too, at least while I am in this form. I quickly nodded my head.

Bella, the first thing I want you to do is try as hard as you can to reverse this…freeze you have on everyone. Can you do that?

I nodded again. Then I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and tried to clear my head, focusing on the word Move. When I opened my eyes again, Embry was ushering the Cullens out of the room, and the rest of the Pack was gathering around me. Once Embry got everyone else out (having taken a while to actually convince Edward to leave, Carlisle actually had to intervene) Sam nodded his head and the Pack all began to shift. If I thought I was big, I was just a puppy compared to the rest of them. But soon they were ushering me outside and into the woods. They began to run, and I followed, feeling a little like a...well, puppy.

We reached the meadow where I had earlier been learning about my powers, right as the sun began to set. Sam had started to say something again, but I was distracted by something off in the distance that was quickly approaching us. As it came closer I saw that in fact there were three figures. I growled, and that got the attention of my companions. By the time they noticed what I was so worked up about, the figures had arrived.

"Hello Bella," the middle one said, stepping into the light.

I promptly shifted back into my human form…and fell on my but.

A/N: Yay! That was my longest chapter yet I hope you all like it. That is, if I have any readers left after such a long hiatus. But please R and R, if you're there. And sorry about the weird, sort of cliff hanger, and all the ellipses' (if that's a word). Ok, bye…
