Chapter 6

Sam sighed. "It would probably be better to show you. Would you be willing to accompany us down to the rez?"
I waved my hand in the air. "As long as I can get an explanation, sure, why not?"
"Kim, Emily, why don't you accompany Bella in her truck. Me and the guys will take the el camino..."
"No way," Emily cut him off. "You just want to drive my baby. How about, Bella, Kim, and I drive MY el camino back to the rez, and you three can take Bella's truck. You don't mind, do you Bella?" Emily looked at me for an answer.
"I have no problem."
The three guys pouted, and Sam sighed. "Fine, we'll take Bella's truck and you three take the el camino."
Emily patted Sam's cheek. "I knew you'd see it my way."

"So where are we?" I asked as Emily pulled her car into a garage on the side of a two story cabin.
Emily smiled. "This is My and Sam's house. It's a fair distance from other homes on the rez, except for the Blacks, which is still a half-hour walk away. Sam built the place."
As we climbed out of the car, and out of the garage into the yard, we saw Sam pull my truck into his driveway. Jared and Paul were in the bed of the truck. They climbed out and made their way towards us.
"I think Paul should show Bella. That way Jared and I can explain things," Sam said to the rest of the group. "Any arguments?"
Emily spoke up, "I got one, Paul better make sure his clothes are completely off, I still haven't had the chance to replenish our emergency clothes stock from last time. He tears his pants to shreds again and he's walking home naked or in one of my old dresses."
Sam and Jared smiled as Paul looked sheepishly at the scared woman. "No problem Em. I'll just go...in the woods. Don't want Bella to freak after all."
I raised my eyebrow and yelled after him. "Good luck trying to freak me out!"
"I got ten bucks that says you do freak out!" He yelled back.
"Make it twenty and you got a deal!"
"Your on!" He yelled as he disappeared from view.
"Why's he going into the woods?" I asked.
Kim smiled. "You'll see."
A few moments later, the largest wolf I had ever seen stepped out of the forest. It was bigger than a horse, and while I admit that it was unique, it didn't freak me out, my own transformation freaked me out more than an overgrown dog.. I arched my eyebrow and asked, "Is this it?" as calm as ever.
Everyone stared at me in shock. "Do you realize that that's Paul?" Sam asked.
I shrugged. "Most likely."
The wolf huffed and Sam, Jared, Kim, and Emily laughed.
"It looks like you owe Bella twenty bucks man!" Jared said through his mirth.
The wolf huffed again and disappeared back into the forest. Paul, as a human, stepped out of the forest grumbling under his breath, earning more laughter from all of us.
After a few moments of laughter Sam sobered up, mostly, and began his explanation. "Paul, Jared and I can each change into a wolf. We're protectors of the tribe, and it's lands. Specifically, we protect it from the cold ones, or as you would probably know them, vampires."
I held up my hand. "Whoa, slow down. You three are are werewolves," I pointed at the guys, "vampires exist, and your enemies?" I asked for clarification.
Paul nodded his head. "Yeah."
I shook my head and smiled. "Sounds like a Hollywood movie."
Kim snorted. "It does, doesn't it?"
I smiled at her, before turning to face the boys again. "As fascinating as this is, what does it have to do with me and Leah?"
It was as if a light switch had been flipped. The good mood had vanished and replaced itself with nervousness.
"It's part of the legend, part of us," Sam began. "And it was supposed to be very rare, but so far all three of us have done it."
"What is 'It'?" I asked.
"Imprinting," Jared said. "When we gaze into the eyes of our soulmate, everything tying us to this world is torn away and reconnected with them. We become whatever they need us to be. Friend, lover. And, as far as we know, you can't fight it."
"We tried," Emily said, softly caressing the scars running down her face. "I came down to help Leah Plan for her and Sam's wedding," she continued softly. "When I met him, I felt like it was love at first sight. But he was Leah's fiance, and I could never have taken him from her, or so I thought."
"I loved Leah, in fact a part of me still does," Sam interjected. "I knew what was happening, but I refused to let what I had become dictate who I loved. For weeks we did our best to ignore our attraction. I tried even harder when I realized that I know longer felt what I used to around Leah. It was only when I began to feel pain from denying my imprint, that I gave up fighting it. But Emily still fought it."
"She was my cousin," Emily explained. "My best friend, and my sister for all intents and purposes. I held her when Sam broke up with her. And for days, he tried to talk to me, but I ignored him."
"Then I got so frustrated. Our transformation into the wolf is fueled by our emotions. I phased in front of her, and I was to close."
Emily ran her hand along her face. "Sam sat beside me while I was in the hospital. The official story was that I had gotten mauled by a bear. We both gave up fighting after that, of course he finally explained what he had tried to when I was ignoring him."
I was shaking. I didn't like where this was going. And I kept my eyes down, knowing they where green. "You imprinted on me, didn't you Jared.?"
"Yes," he said softly.
My breathing picked up harshly. I didn't like it. I didn't like that I didn't chose the man I was coming to love, that some mystical imprinting had taken that choice from me. And after hearing Emily and Sam's story I knew I couldn't fight the imprint, but that wasn't what worried me. It had been a long, hard emotional day, and like the wolves, my transformation was controlled by my emotions. I had been fighting them all day.
I screamed as I fell to my knees, trying to keep the change at bay.
"Bella!" Jared yelled to me. "Bella! Are you all right?"
"Get...Back," I ground out looking up at him, into his eyes.
I watched his eyes widened. "Bella, your eyes?"
I smiled just before another spasm rocked through my body. I couldn't fight it. "You..showed me your...secret. Now...you get...to see...mine."
And I stopped fighting.

"...mine," Bella said to me.
I stepped back as she began to shake violently. I could see he skin changing color as her body violently grew. Muscles bulged, tearing her pants, shirt, and shoes, leaving her dressed in a sports bra and undershorts that reached her knees. I watched, horribly fascinated as my imprint roared in pain from the the changes her body was going through.
Her skin and hair began to take on a greenish tint, much like her eyes had been just before her change.
Finally, she punched the ground, leaving a large crater, and roared, a loud, frighting sound full of pain and anger.
Her nostrils flared as she slowly stood to a towering nine feet. Her muscles were bulging and taunt. I was amazed that her under clothes where still intact until I noticed that the had expanded to be much larger than I they were before. And, being a guy, I couldn't help that my eyes were drawn to her, now, truly massive breast.
"Call...Charlie," she growled out, her voice, still feminine, was much deeper than normal.
"Bella?" I asked.
She nodded down to me, then looked up to see the slightly scared faces of the rest of the pack. She smirked at them and said, "Sorry, tough day."
"I think...I think I'll go call Charlie now," Sam said, before disappearing into the house.

And I thought our transformation was hard. Seeing Bella change into...whatever she was, was an eye-opener. It was a much more violent change than we wolves had.
I picked up the phone and called the Forks Police Station.
"Forks Police," a voice answered on the other end.
"This is Sam Uley, can I talk to Chief Swan?"
"Sure, one moment."
I waited for a few moments when I heard Charlie answer. "Sam?"
"Hey Chief. Um...Bella told me to call. We're down as the rez and she... uh...well she's..."
I heard Charlie sigh. "Big and green?" he supplied.
"Yeah."
"Where on the Rez?"
"My house."
"I'll be there shortly, just try not to make her angry, or angrier than she is already anyway."

I watched as Charlie pulled up in his cruiser. He stepped out and looked at me before shaking his head. "I'm glad to see that cloth Mr. Stark designed held. Especially since you haven't changed in so long." He pulled a bag from the cruiser, one I knew contained spare clothes. Before looking back up at me. "You need to calm down Bell's."
"I am calm," I growled at him as I sat on the ground. "I was merely waiting for you."
Charlie raised an eyebrow. "Calm? You just growled at me."
I growled again.
"Deep breaths Bella," Charlie said.
As I took in deep breaths. I watched as Charlie turned to the pack. He glared at all of them. "None of you can tell anyone what you've seen today," ordered them.
"I don't think you need to worry," I said.
"Bella. Breath." Charlie ordered over his shoulder.
I rolled my eyes and continued to take deep breaths.
"Uh, Chief," Sam began. "You truly don't need to worry about us telling anyone what Bella is."
Charlie held up his hand. "Quiet Sam! I asked you to watch Bella at home, not to bring her anywhere."
"It was my fault," I growled out.
Charlie turned and glared at me.
"I know, I know, deep breaths. It would be a lot easier if you waited until I was calm before having your discussion!"
Charlie nodded. "Alright then. We'll just wait until you've calmed down."
No one spoke as I continued to breath. It took me twenty more minutes to calm down. My transformation back from being hulk was much smoother than my transformation into it. Afterward, I felt the exhaustion from the change and I collapsed into blackness.
