Chapter 4 – Waking Up

Jake has officially imprinted. Apparently, he didn't the first time. Only he could mistake feeling head over heels for imprinting. But this time, it was real. The feeling that it had given both of us was more than just passion. I needed him. I wanted him; more than I had ever wanted anything. I woke up in Jacob's arms. My head was rested on his chest and his arms were around me. The blanket was balled up in the corner of the tent, but I was still sweating like mad.

Sleeping with Jake made me hot. I had to get out of his arms before I fried. I somehow got his heavy arm off of me, and made my way outside. I had only a t-shirt on, yet I was still burning up in the cold La Push air. This was so not normal. The sweating most definitely did not improve when Jake came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. I think Jake was trying to talk to me, but with the massive headache that was overtaking my body, it was hard to hear anything.

"Bella," I thought I heard my name, and I thought it was Jake. "You're definitely running a major fever. I'm going to take you to my place, ok?" I nodded, afraid that speaking might make the headache worse. He tried to help me stand, but my legs simply could not hold me. I collapsed in a heap at his bare feet and he bent to pick me up. "Bella! What's wrong? What is happening?" With that he sped off on foot, leaving the truck and the camping supplies behind. But at that moment, I simply did not care. Then I blacked out completely.

I next remember waking up in Jacob's bed. Billy was obviously not here, or he would be in the kitchen or watching television. I was in the tank top and shorts I had at the campsite and the window next to the bed was wide open. What the pack didn't know, however, is that I could hear every word they were saying, despite my killer headache.

"How could this happen?" Sam was yelling at Jacob, and I practically felt him flinch at the words.

"I have no idea," Jake began, trying to find the words to answer Sam's question. "All I know is that…" He paused, unsure if he should tell. "We imprinted last night. It wasn't one of the at-first-sight imprints. We had to um, make love?" It came out sounding more like a question, which frustrated me, as much as it embarrassed me. But I couldn't feel the redness of my blush rushing to my face.

"Well, well, Jacob finally got some! It's about time the vamp lover came around!" Quil had finally set me off. I got out of Jake's bed, still feeling like I was in an oversized oven, and hopped out of his window. "Look, there she is now! How are feeling?" He smiled at his own immature jokes.

"Shut the hell up, Quil." I felt my face getting even hotter now. The fire was at its worst now, building up at my neck. He took fake precaution and stepped back.

"Now, sweet Bella…" He began.

"Quil, Really? Right now, of all times? You know what's going to happen if you keep this up!" Sam interrupted him, striding between us. Quil laughed loudly, making my head throb. I glanced quickly at Jacob, who happened to be shirtless. He was standing Paul and Leah, who were both amused at what was happening to me. What the…? He must have noticed the anger in my eyes, because he took a step towards me, hands held out.

"Bella, calm down, please." His eyes pleaded with me, but the fire was still burning and my head was still pounding.

"Jacob…" Sam gave him a look that made him back off. He looked saddened that he couldn't try and help me. What was happening to me?!

"What is wrong with me?" I bellowed, not caring about the aching anymore. "I'm on fire and my head is fucking killing me!" I was screaming in Sam's face, yet it didn't seem to bother him.

"When this happened to me, did I scream like that?" Quil asked Jared. They had no idea I just heard what they said until I walked around Sam. It happened to Quil, so…Oh my God. It suddenly clicked in my head what was happening. But how? Quil saw the thought come to my mind, and he laughed again. "Bella's finally figured it out!" That was when the fire ripped all the way down my spine and I exploded, literally.

Everyone was yelling at me, but their mouths weren't moving. They were inside my head.

Bella, it's ok, calm down.

Whoa!

Don't get too close!

Bells, it's me. Just breathe. I know it hurts.

It's gonna hurt a lot worse if she keeps biting herself.

Most of these voices were Sam's and I couldn't recognize anyone else's but Jacob's. I was afraid to look. My eyes were closed, and I knew I was biting something, but I thought it had been Quil. If it was a part of me, I couldn't feel it. The fire was much worse and my whole body ached and shook with disagreement to the phase. As the voices continued to scream at me, I knew I needed to scream back

SHUT UP!!! It instantly got quiet, and I opened my eyes. There were eight wolves standing around me as I lay on the ground. I whimpered in pain as the silence made it much easier to realize that my body was still protesting. The remains of my clothes were still on the ground, in shreds, of course.

Bella…? Jacob was the only one that dared to speak to me in this horrid stage. Its okay, I promise. We've all been through the same thing. Just breathe, even though it hurts.

I don't want to freaking breathe, Jacob. I want this to stop! I'm not even Quileute! I moved my enormous head to face him with hopelessness in my eyes. I wasn't supposed to be like this. I heard Quil and Embry chuckle at my words, as if I was trying to be a comedian at the moment.

Damn, Bella. You are feisty. No wonder Jacob likes you so much. Embry winked at Jacob with his big wolf eyes, only to make him growl in my defense.

Oh please, Embry. You were the same way. Only you thought it was Quileute puberty! Paul laughed at his own joke, whilst Embry did not find it as funny.

Paul and Embry – stop. She does not need you right now. She needs Jacob. We'll see you later. Sam gestured his last words to Jake, who nodded and took a step closer to where I was curled up on the ground.

Help her. Sam barked at the pack, an obvious sign that it was time to leave. Everyone but Leah started around Jake's house, leaving us in his backyard.

You don't belong in this pack. Go back to the bloodsuckers and leave us alone. With those painful words that shot me right through the heart, she ran to catch up with the others. I whimpered in hurt.

Bella, Oh, Bella. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I don't know how, but you became a werewolf and –

Jake! Shut up! My head is killing me and you rambling on and on it not going to help! I can obviously tell I'm a werewolf, I'm not stupid. So please, let me sleep. I reached out to touch him with my hand, uh, paw, and looked at him sympathetically.

Of course; I'm sorry. I love you, Bells. It's going to be okay, I promise. Normally, I would have answered him, but the dizziness and throbbing simply made me want to sleep for a week. So, I closed my eyes with Jake's image in my mind, and drifted off.

I woke up alone. Jacob was not still next to me, and the sky was no longer the casual gray it usually stayed. It was black. It was night. I had no idea how to phase back to human form, and I was afraid to try without him. What if I messed up and hurt myself? What the heck, I had no idea how to do it, let alone hurt myself in the process! I groaned out loud, thinking that it wouldn't be audible to anyone, since I was alone.

"You're finally up!" Jacob was walking towards me from the woods in human form, with no shirt on – again. He did have denim shorts on, though. Then I realized that I had no clothes for when I phased back, since my others were shredded. I sat on my haunches, waiting on instruction. "I'll phase to wolf form, and then show you how to do it." I nodded my big head and waited for him to phase.

He turned around so his back was facing me and took off his shorts. I quickly closed my eyes, a natural reaction. Jake laughed, seeing that I was ashamed. I bet I would have blushed if my face hadn't been covered in fur. I didn't even know what color I was. I looked down at my front legs and saw the color of twilight; Black. I was black, just like Sam. Only my paws had a brown tinge to them, as did my back and tail. I looked for Jacob, but instead saw the wolf I knew too well.

Bella, how did this happen? All we did was imprint. You aren't Quileute, or even part Quileute… His sentence broke off, and I walked a little closer to him.

Jake, this was obviously supposed to happen. I don't know why, but it did. His big eyes looked into mine. The pack was either listening in or giving us alone time. Well, which would sound more like Jacob's friends? Definitely listening in.

JACOB! Enough with the sappy little apology and reunion, but you need to teach her how to phase and ! That vamp needs to be caught you know! Sam's voice in my head wasn't calm, as it usually was. I froze when he said the word "vamp." There was a vampire that I was not told about? I thought I was not heard, but I had forgotten that my thoughts were out in the open now.

Bella, it's no big deal. We got her. She should be a piece of cake! So it was female. That could only mean…Victoria. She was back to get revenge for the Cullens killing James.

Jacob, we need to have a pack meeting. Meet at mine and Emily's house. The rest of the pack carried on with their conversations as usual, but I somehow blocked them out so it would just be me and Jake.

How do I become a human again?

Well, you have to think like a human. Think of human things, and picture yourself like a human. I know it may seem like trouble at first, but you get used to it. For a moment he closed his wolf eyes, and then he was a human again. He was naked, and I had a hard time concentrating when his perfect boy was not three feet away from me.

When I closed my eyes, I pictured the day when we rode motorcycles and I ended up with a face full of moss. Then I pictured having dinner with Charlie. Lastly, I pictured the day when Jake first kissed me. This memory made me smile, and when I opened my eyes again, I was human. And I was naked, just like Jacob.

"You know," He began, looking at my face. "You are…" He cut off his sentence, not knowing what to say.

"Maybe you should keep your accusations to yourself, before you hurt someone's feelings with your loss for words." I joked with him, looking him up and down. God, he was so beautiful.

"Maybe," He stepped closer to me. "I should make up for hurting your feelings, then." He pulled my face close to his, so I could feel his breath on my cheeks.

"You are…intoxicating, beautiful, sexy, amazing, unbelievable, sexy, smart, a tease, and did I mention sexy?" He smiled the glowing grin that I loved so much, and I couldn't resist myself. I stood on my toes and kissed him tenderly. He twisted his hands in my already tangled hair, and I put my arms around his neck, bringing myself up and closer. He pulled away.

"We have to go to the pack meeting. If we don't, Sam will find out and punish us with extra work.

"Actually, I don't think it's a good idea for me to help you get Victoria."

"Is that her name? She's a fiery red head, with…" He began to describe her before I cut him off. I didn't need the image of my nightmares coming back.

"Yes, that's her. She wants me." He laughed at this, which infuriated me a bit.

"She won't get you. I promise. And if it makes you feel better, you won't have to help when we get her. You can stay with Emily or Billy." He ran his hands up and down my arms, as if warming me up. But even though I was completely exposed, I was warm.

"Thank you," I whispered in his ear. "But there are other matters at hand. I need clothes and you need to put your shorts on." I smiled into his chest and it vibrated with the hearty laugh I knew. He let me go then slipped his shorts on.

"I'll be right back." He kissed me on the forehead and ran into his house. Thankfully, Billy was not home to see us naked in his backyard. Charlie had probably come to pick him up, and I wondered how long I had been away from home. What had they told Charlie? Just as the question graced my mind, Jacob was running back to me with a white strappy dress.

"Here you go. This was my sister's, so I think it should fit you. You look good in white." I rolled my eyes and put the dress on. It hugged my body, and it was surprisingly comfortable.

"Jake," I grabbed his hand and we started walking to the Rabbit. "How long was I asleep?"

"About 2 days. You were going on three, but then you woke up."

"What did you tell Charlie?!" I was so going to be grounded until I was thirty.

"He knows about the wolf stuff. Billy told him. He's a little freaked out by it, but it was best that he knew. He's still soaking it all in; it was a big shock." He squeezed our intertwined fingers together, and I noticed that he was looking at me.

"Ok. As long as he knows, and I'm not going to be in major trouble." He smiled at me for the millionth time and I looked at the Rabbit, blushing. I guess being a werewolf doesn't change the factors of embarrassment.

"Well if any hurtful words are spoken to you about this- it's not going to be from your dad." My thoughts shifted to Leah and her insults that were thrown at me earlier. As we got in the Rabbit, Jake must have sensed that I was thinking of Leah. He looked at me with a look on his face that told me to not worry about her. But it's hard to forget when someone has an extreme problem with you and you don't know why!

My thoughts engrossed me, and before I knew it, we were pulling in Sam and Emily's driveway, and through the window, I saw all of the pack sitting in the kitchen. They were all tan, with black hair. I looked down at myself. I was just a pale brunette. Maybe Leah was right, after all. Did I fit in with this new life?
