A/N: The necklace's that Mia made all the characters are different look on my profile to find the new pictures of the necklaces. Descriptions in the last chapter are void. Thankyou.

Chapter 13:

We arrived at the clearing within a couple of minutes. I could smell the Cullens in the clearing as they waited tensely for us to arrive. I felt like apart of the pack as Sam gave me a wolfy grin. I jumped from Jake's back and skipped into the clearing over to Bella. Before I walk past the forest edge Jake bit the back of my shirt and pulled me back. I sighed as looked back at him. Leah and Paul were right behind him giving me stern looks. I felt like a little kid again. I just sighed and put a hand on my hip. Seth let out a loud bark of laughter. I scratched behind Jake's ear and kissed him on the head.

"Jake, I will be fine. They won't hurt me." I whispered. He snorted and whimpered. I just gave him a pleading look and he reluctantly nodded. I kissed his snout and petted Leah and Paul before I skipped into the clearing over to Bella. She smiled at me as I kissed her on the cheek quickly and sat next to her. Carlisle walked into the middle of the clearing and he opened his arms in a welcoming gesture. I smiled as he welcomed all the wolves and thanked them for coming. Soon he motioned for Jasper to come to the middle of clearing. I had kept the gym bag full of everyone's protection jewelry securely on my back. I was waiting for our meeting to end. I had given all the wolves their amulets already.

Embry's amulet was a gray stone that, in my culture, stood for humor. I have carved it with a paw print and a wolf's head on the bottom. Leah's was a pewter bottle that had turquoise dust that was supposed to protect the mind. Along with a moon pendent I had carved myself. My grandma had mixed the turquoise and given it a special spell that should protect her. Seth's took me over 3 days to carve out of the stone. It was a wolf howling to the moon. With old feather's carved in. Quil's is a russet stone I had gotten from Europe as a kid. In it I had carved a wolf howling and a bunch of trees.

Sam's was defiantly something special. My grandfather had craved it for a leader, someone who was leading a small pack of people but could do it with grace. His was a small locket made of gray stone and metal that had such detail I couldn't even decipher it. Brady's was a thin gray stone on a black cord rope. It had a wolf howling on it. I had incrusted beads on the string. Paul's I had worked extra hard on. It was a wolf that had so much detail it looks real. It had feathers and a nice moon incrusted on it. I had given it a new spell I had worked on myself.

Collin's was simple, just a wolf with a lot of detail. Although he loved it a lot. Last but not least. Jared. It was a wolf carved on its hind legs on a simple stone. It showed maturity, something the second turned wolf must have. The pack had loved their necklaces and now I will give the Cullen's theirs, when we finish. Emmett's was something I knew he would like. It had two dragons circling each other on a sword that had a lot of different designs. The wings were gold and the sword had a Wicca star on it.

Alice's was a crystal flower with a gray metal on it. It had a small design that meant 'knowing', along with a small blue stone that showed protection. Esme's I didn't create. It was my grandmothers. She wore it everyday before she changed. It was a silver heart with an uneven design and a small plain silver heart on the inside. Carlisle's was an old coin I had gotten from my old mentor that he had given to me on his deathbed. It was meant for a person with a great heart, someone who helped heal. Rosalie's was two Pegasus that spiraled into a blue healing amulet.

Jasper's was a sword that had an old Wicca encrust on it. It when through two double circles with ancient designs. I had gotten this from my dad's father that had been in the war. I decided it was best for Jasper. For Edward I had made something I knew Bella would love. It was a key, one that protected the person's soul. Bella's bracelet was kinda a pun. It was made with lucky charms on it, something I knew she needed.

Jasper had already asked Emmett to attack him to show how a newborn fights. I had waited patiently but once he finished Jasper's eyes fell on me. I asked Bella quietly to hold the bag. She seemed confused as she took it and put it on her lap, but when I jumped up and started walking over to face Jasper she tried to pull me back. I could see she was worried and thought I would get hurt. I almost laughed at the thought of her thinking Jasper could hurt me. Edward just chuckled as he pulled her closer to him and let me go. I heard a loud growl and I saw Jacob and Paul start to advance into the clearing. I just threw a glare at them and they stopped. I turned to smirk at Jasper. He seemed excited as he got into a crouch.

I heard the wolves growl from the forest but I ignored it. I felt the smirk on my face disappear as I felt my eyes turn completely black and I heard the Cullens gasp. I heard the wolves let out a gripping growl as I pulled my lip back and I felt my teeth sharpen and glisten in the light of the fire. Jasper just hissed. I could feel my hands clenching. I let out one menacing growl before Jasper charged. I didn't move until he was a mere inch from me and I stepped to the side. I turned to him and he went to swipe but my arm when up and I stopped him. He tried to bite it but I grabbed his other hand and flipped him. He landed in back of me and I felt his hand on my shoulder. I ducked and turned. He went to kick me in the stomach and I leaned away from it. I did a wide spread kick to his head but he ducked and caught my leg.

I jumped up and slammed my other leg into his gut. He hissed for a minute from the blow but recovered and we were at it again. Our moments were fluent it seemed to me like a rehearsed dance. We moved so fast we were like a blur and I could see in the corner of my eye the Cullens trying to follow but failing miserably. Jasper is defiantly an even match for me. Every time I thought I had him, he escaped. Every time he had me, I escaped. We must have gone ten minutes straight before I heard Jake growl and I looked over. The little window of time allowed Jasper to grab my waist and throw me on the ground. He had his knee on the small of my back as I lay on my stomach on the ground. He had his teeth an inch from my neck and I squeaked with excitement. Jasper put his lips to my neck, but Jake took it wrong though.

We heard his murderous growl through the clearing and he charged Jasper. I jumped up and went into a crouch in front of Jasper, protecting him. Jake seemed surprised as he stood in front of me in his wolf form. I let a growl rip from my mouth as Jake whimpered. Jasper put a hand on my shoulder and I shot up straight. Of course we all knew Jasper and Rosalie were the closest friend I had, other than Leah and Paul. I would protect them with my life, even against my own mate. Which everyone saw now. I pointed back to the forest and Jake went quickly. I shook my head and gave Jasper a rematch. After 20 minutes, I won. Then Edward took a turn as did everyone else.

The night had gone smoothly, and the wolves even came out from the forest to try practicing with the Cullens. Jake had tried to get my attention at least 3 times, but I ignored him as Jasper asked me for rematches. Most of the Cullens ended up watching as we were the familiar blur we were only 30 minutes ago. Our movements were like two trained dancers, except we were trying to get the upper hand. Constantly I was the one to be ahead, but Jasper wasn't a bad fighter, and it was hard to constantly keep up with him. After I won twice and he won once, Emmett asked me to face him.

He was easy to win with. His moves were clearing obvious and he depended only on his strength. I might have faced him 3 times, winning all of them, before I moved on to Edward. He couldn't read my mind, so he was just like Emmett, easy to beat like a little kid. After that I had gone onto the sidelines to it with Rose. I gave the Cullens their necklaces, and proceeded to sit with Paul and Rosalie as we discussed my history.

"How did it all start?" Paul asked expectably. I knew he meant how the long line of Wicca's started. I only now remembered that I had explained it to the Cullens but not the wolves, I felt guilty for keeping my future family out of the loop. I knew even though Jake wasn't really related to them and he hadn't actually asked me to be his wife, to join his family. Although I already felt apart of his family. I smiled at Paul like I was sharing a juicy secret.

"Yea, you only told us about yourself, we want to know the whole story." Emmett said as he grabbed me bridal style and put me on a log in the center of the small campsite place. There was a fire going now and everyone was sitting on the ground, wolves on one side, and vampires on the other. I felt something poke my back and I turned to see Jake, now human, look at me hopefully. I sighed and nodded as he sat next to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I frowned. I thought back to where my history actually started.

"Well it all started with my great great great great great great great grandmother Katherine James. She was beautiful and graceful and all the men in our small town lusted for her. Most of the women of the town wanted her gone. Katherine knew that the women hated her, especially since every time she tried to come into society as a normal human, the women shunned her, and the men welcomed her. She didn't like the attention, but she knew she was born that way, she couldn't change it. But there were a lot of things about Katherine no one knew. Stuff even she didn't know. But they didn't care that they didn't know her, they still wanted her gone. So, one night, when she was at home, they all came with the intention of ending her life. She fought them off effortlessly, killing them all in the process, sadly. A beautiful woman appeared in the front of her house the next day. She was wounded and heart broken, barely hanging onto her life, and her humanity. She was like angel and no one could resist her charm. She looked maybe 15, although her presence was something that only a mother's presence could bring. Katherine nursed her to health and she had gained a connection with her, they were family.

After the woman was healthy, Katherine asked her who she was, and what had happened to her. Well the woman was mysterious and didn't talk. Katherine felt complete pain go through her body, and she thought the woman was killing her with one thought. She knew the woman was different. She knew that the woman was not human, and was dangerous, but her charm was not something anyone could resist. She knew the woman could kill her, and would kill her, but she loved her sadly, she thought of her as a sister. She didn't care if it was true that the woman was evil, like her gut feeling was telling her. She didn't want to believe it though, so she let the woman 'kill' her. Well 2 weeks later, Katherine was as healthy as ever, she was far more beautiful, strong, fast, and powerful. The woman had given all her power to Katherine, as a reward for saving her. The woman disappeared without a second thought when Katherine finished the change.

Katherine searched for her. She couldn't deny it any longer that the woman was not human, that there was something off about her. But she had heard the woman's voice in her head, guiding her. She knew it was she, even though she never heard the woman's voice. Her voice was like a million angels in her head. She felt strong with the woman guiding her. She came across something she never thought she would. At the top of the town, was a mountain. She had made it to the top of the mountain and she felt the woman's power through her. She heard every thought the woman had had, and she never wanted it to leave. She decided to claim the mountain as her home, and she watched over the town from her safe haven.

Well only years later, a boy, maybe 24, which was her age when the woman had changed her, freezing her in time, came up the mountain looking for the town's supposed angel. Town's people had seen Katherine on the mountain, and they labeled her as an angel, because once they saw her, they never saw her again. He was curious and wanted to meet the well-known angel. Well that's when tasking became known, and Katherine knew why the woman who had given her power was wounded. The woman had lost her task, the one thing in life she needed to protect. And when she gave Katherine her power, she faded into a true angel. One that's spirit protects the world and all of her children.

Katherine of course mated with the boy, who lived on the mountain with her. They had a beautiful baby girl who they named Margaret. She had received her mother's powers when she was born, although she had more than her mother. And her mother gave up the power to stay young forever to live with her task as her daughter took over the town. She found her task only 26 years after birth and had a baby girl, just like her mother. After that, our family had a long line of girls, except one. My great great great great grandmother Daisy had a baby boy. A beautiful, powerful baby boy. His mother hadn't changed, and she had reached her eldest when her son was born. She was 21 when she died, although with our aging, she looked 50. The father had died off with his mate, and the boy was sent with a friendly couple who had found him on the mountain top, where his mother left him before she left-." Emmett interrupted me.

"Why would his mother leave him on the mountain top alone if he was just a baby?" He asked seriously. I heard Rose smack him on the back of his head. I smiled gratefully.

"Emmett, our kind is powerful, and independent. Even a baby so young could take down a pack of vampires in one thought, we are born to protect ourselves." I said as he smiled and thought back to where I was.

"She left him there and told the couple of the baby. They nurtured him and he had a happy life, until he was 19. He still hadn't changed, but he was still looking his real age, which was unusual. Well he stayed in touch with his heritage. He had heard of an ancient priestess claiming she was the ruler of our kind. She had unleashed a deathly evil on our kind. The boy, Mason, had to fight by himself and defeat the evil. He had changed after the battle, which he had won with little trouble. He met his task, which was the priestess's daughter. She knew of the evil her mother had done, and she had been willing to cause the same chaos as she grew. But it changed. She loved Mason, and she didn't let the evil control her any longer. But most of the future children were born with the evil in them, and we cannot change that.

They had a little girl, like our history showed has. And in our long line of family, they are all girls except him. And he is defiantly one of the most known, because he saved our kind. Many of my ancestors had changed others, when they were changed. It wasn't easy, and they didn't get much power, but they were changed, and it works. There are only about 3 hundred of our kind now of days. But I am, or was, excepted to find my task and mate with them and create one the strongest of our kind they're had ever been. But that had been demised when I found out that my task was Bella, an already mated female. Our tales say that your first task is your soul mate, but I knew that is semi true, just not for mating.

Bella is my best friend soul mate, no romantics. And when I found Jake, my future had been clear." I said as I finished and looked down. I hadn't told them about my recent discovery, that Jake is one of my task's, just not the task. He is my soul mate, and my mate, and will be the one to continue our line of power. I knew the family's power would be the strongest ever with a werewolf, and not just a normal tasked human. Although I loved him before he became my task, so I knew that made the bond stronger, so the baby will be stronger. "Jake is one of my tasks, just not the task. Although I haven't told any of you about my discovery, since I wasn't sure."

"But if Jake is your task, how will you make the most powerful offspring if your mother's generation screwed up the line?" Embry asked. I could see the point he had made. My mom had had 3 boys before she had me, but my eldest brother-, no I won't think of that now. I sighed. He made a good point, the others had only had girls, except the one boy. But my mom didn't produce me first, and she had had boys, but they received no power. But that was what was wrong.

"Well, my mom didn't accept the power that my family had given her by birth, so my mom wasn't a witch, since she denied her gifts, my goddess took her power and her memory of being given the choice of the power and had waited till my mom had a girl. When she took the power when my mom 18, since mom had given up at that age and told the goddess she just wanted to be a normal teenager again, my mom didn't look older anymore, she aged just like a normal human and she did turn into a normal human. She had normal human boys and she had found a normal human male who wasn't her destined task. She conceived me and when I was 13, the age when my goddess offers you the power the first time and I accepted.

I was turned into the witch my mom didn't want to be. Mason had been a misshape, and my goddess didn't expect him, so she gave Mary's baby the power when she was pregnant. But that didn't happen again, and so my goddess gave the next girl the power, since it was my birth right as a birth witch, my birthright when I was born with the James' power of magic in my blood. My brother's weren't born with the magic in their blood, it's kinda like the wolf gene, some are born with it, and some aren't. Although some are offered it, most aren't." Before I had a chance to continue Edward raised his hand politely. I smiled. And nodded for him to ask.

"Will the wolf gene affect the baby?" Edward asked as he looked over at the wolves, which were watching me curiously. I sighed. I didn't know if the wolves would be born with the wolf gene or not, but if they are, I know it will make them stronger. I didn't know how that will affect their aging or will affect their life period. I hoped they got to choose like me, because I didn't want my children not having their own free will. Although I know they will be born with it no matter what, the power isn't a joke.

"Well, I am sure it will make the baby stronger and defiantly more powerful. I do not know how it will affect their aging, but I am sure we will find out." I said sadly. Everything about my kind is unexpected, but also predicable if you live long enough to see the pattern. My mom and dad never really questioned how I aged, mostly because they didn't care, and my family that wasn't immediate never saw us enough to see the changes.

"So, your brothers will never get the chance to be a witch like you?" Paul asked. I looked down and I could feel tears coming, but I pushed them back. I thought of my oldest brother. He has been missing for about a year, and I forbid my family from talking and thinking about him. It hurt way too much for at least me, mostly because I could feel their pain when they thought of him. I had been very close with him, and he had actually gotten some of the witch gene, although I am not sure anymore.

"No, I don't think so. We experience the gene early in our lives, if you receive it, you show signs. Rapid aging, heightened senses, appearances changes, energy drainage, the need to hunt. It all comes fast, and my brothers have never showed any sign of having it, so I assume not. The whole point of being a witch, it to be tested, to be given a time period of 21 years to change. If on your 21st birthday you don't change, you die. You only change if you are invited, and if you change too late, you could loose all your chances to change. If they were given it this late in life, they would die within a few years."

"What about Lizzie? Isn't she older than you and she's not a witch." Embry asked. I was sure I had explained this.

"Lizzie isn't blood related. My brother had taken her as his girlfriend a couple of years back, and she decided to stay with us when we moved. She would never get the chance to change unless I changed her and gave her some of my power. But even then her bond with John would be worthless, since she would want her task. Lizzie likes the idea of free will. She thinks being a witch, you loose it. Since you need to find your task, you don't get to choose it. You are given it, I had offered to change her when I changed, but she declined. Even so, changing is so excruciating that no one has taken the offer in centuries. It is like the vampire change times 10. It doesn't burn, it feels like you is being cut open with a thousand knives, all cutting so deep they leave scars and you can't recover.

"When you change, your body turns into something new, completely foreign and since the change is so sudden and you can't control it, your mind is vulnerable, which makes it hurt even more. When you change, you are even faster than a vampire. Your senses are heightened and your body will reject it all, which makes you actually physically die. But our body still is semi human. We are still warm, and there is blood in us, but if a human comes in contact with it, they die. It is like poison, like vampire venom, but they don't turn into a vampire, they just die off. They stop breathing and they body eats itself alive. Which is what the change feels like. Most wait years for the change, and even when you go through it, some still die.

"Their bodies aren't strong enough, or they just reject it themselves, it's all-different. When you are changed, you are still you, just a new you. You will live forever, a perk some like, some it drives them crazy and they kill themselves. Some can still conceive children for a couple of years after, but some can't use any of the human traits they should have, like eating. For some it tastes like dirt, some it is still the same. Most just decide to hunt for energy. It all depends on the person. It's a very complex situation and it is very hard to explain."

"Are you going to go through the change?" Brady asked seriously. He looked at me like I was threat and I looked back with no problem. I slumped and hung my head low. I really didn't know if I will change. But I know I don't have that much longer, if I don't change I will die, and my goddess has made it very clear to me that I cannot become a vampire as I sat here and sent a prayer to her.

"I…really don't know. I hope so, I have always dreamed of it. If I do change, I will take control of my whole race, like a queen. Although I won't go down in human history, I will go down in supernatural history. There will never be another like me. It has been told in our legends that as the race gets stronger, they will reach a peak. Then, most will start to change and receive no power, or even change. They will become completely the same. But we aren't sure. I do know, if I don't change, it could cause a lot of chaos."

"Why is that?" Carlisle asked. I smiled sadly.

"Well, it's sort of like being the president. I have a vice president, and if I don't change and she does, then she gets the power. I loose all of my power and I die within minutes. She has never been…considerate of other life. She hates humans, she absolutely loathes them. And if she becomes queen, time can only tell what she will do to the world."
