Disclaimer: I own nothing!

I knew almost immediately something was wrong when I started passing the first houses of La Push. I was driving to Phillip's house, guessing that's where they would be, and just happened to look at the forest. It was Benji and he was fighting Phil. My heart skipped a beat, not fighting but defending. I wondered why no one was helping him; I could clearly see the figures of my friends in the well lit house.

Then I noticed it, a slight haze where they were fighting. I had often attributed this to the natural raininess of Forks but I now knew that this meant Benji had an illusion going up. Probably to keep Phil from seeing where they were going, but it also meant no one could see them.

I stopped the car, unsure what to do. I wanted to go help my fiancée but I was no match for a werewolf. The smart thing would be to get the other but they couldn't help since the illusion was up. I thought fast, looking for something to use. My hand flew to Bella's necklace; thirty minutes of protection. She never said if it was camouflage just a shield.

I jumped out of the car and ran to my love, hoping that my plan would work. I knew exactly when I passed the illusion because Phillip looked up. Plan A was that Phillip would see me and calm down enough to transform back to a human. That plan failed almost at once. I went with Plan B.

"Hey Phil, come and talk to me." I shot a warning glance at Benji; telling him to keep up the illusion. I hoped he got it. I watched as the wolf seemed as if he couldn't decide between fighting Benji and following me. He looked at me for the longest time before taking several steps forward.

I gave a beckoning wave and started running to the house, making sure to keep enough distance between us. I wasn't even half way when he caught up. I squeezed the silver ball in my hand with everything I had. My image became distorted and I knew the field was in effect. Phil stopped in his tracks.

I didn't look back now I ran to the house. I knew that Benji had already warmed the others because they and the pack had circled around him. I ran to his cold arms, seeking comfort. He gladly took me in an embrace and led me to the house. I heard others trying to talk Phil into calming down.

I couldn't look back to see if he changed back or not; I would find out soon enough. Jacob Black was opening the door for us. His eyes held worry for his son and regret for what his son did; a hard line to walk. He led us to the living room but there was no need; I had been there enough to know how the house was laid out.

I was astonished at how the room changed. The last time I had been there, it was normal looking; a long couch on one side and a TV on the other. Now everything was pushed out to clear space.

We weren't there by ourselves long before the pack lead Phil into the room trailed by the Cullens. They were back in there human forms but when I looked at Phillip his eyes weren't right; there was something feral, or wild, about them. I cringed in Benji's arms; he was no longer the loving and adoring Phil, he had given himself to his wolf instincts and I was scared.

Andrew and John held him against the wall. At first I wondered why but then I realized he was trying to hurt any vampire that came too close. Sam strode forward and looked Phil right in the eye.

"Why did you do it, Phil? Why?"

"Because I grew up hearing my dad moan about his first love. He told me over and over that if I ever met a girl that I loved, I needed to hold on to her no matter what. I grew up with that and I finally agreed only because I didn't want to end up like him." He snarled. I looked at Jacob and saw guilt there; I looked at Bella and saw a hint of sadness there of a future lost. I knew Bella didn't regret choosing Edward but I knew she didn't want to others to suffer from it.

"Phil you disobeyed a direct order. You knew that you shouldn't have. Jacob he's your son and you have the right to punish him." Sam said uncomfortable with having to hold his friend back.

"No," Jacob said sadly, "It is the packs problem so the pack must punish him." My eyes grew wide, I felt out of place.

Sam fidgeted and Jacob glared at his friend, "I don't think I can. I'm not technically pack leader."

"Actually you are; since I turned it down and your dad took my place. Chief follows lineage and your dad was chief last so now you are."

I doubted that Sam wanted to here this. He looked to me and said, "Can you please explain your version of these past events."

I paled, noticing the business like tone in his voice. "There isn't much to say. A couple weeks ago I was knocked out after school and was in the process of being kidnapped when Edward rescued me to the Cullen's house. Since then I have been guarded wherever I went. A couple days ago Benji told me that we had to leave. We were about to when Phillip appeared at my house." I glanced down at the white cast on my arm before continuing, "He tried to keep me home but the Cullens intervened. I broke my arm in the process. I've been hiding and then we were chased here."

I saw hurt pierce his eyes, he knew the laws and what the punishments were. My stomach did nervous flips. He turned back to Phil, "Phillip you were told the consequences and you did it anyway. Do you have anything to say?"

"I don't deny it. I was trying to stop the Cullens from changing another poor victim into one of them. I did nothing wrong."

"You almost killed Jenna." He replied calmly.

"I didn't mean too, but if I had a choice I would do it again. Not that you will do anything, you will let them do as much harm as I could do." I shuddered at his words. They weren't Phil that I knew. They were hostile, dangerous.

"Phillip Black, you have become a danger to the pack and others around you. You have given yourself to your wolfish instincts, going to deep. For this the law states that you must become a wolf since you are determined to not act humanly."

The last words were with power and as soon as he said them Phillip was no longer there was a black wolf with a white mark on his cheek. I looked in its eyes but it held no emotion, this wolf was no longer connected to the human realm. It dashed out.

Sam turned to us and said, "You are free to make your own decisions. Like my father before me I grant you permission to do what you choose. Jenna if you wish to become a vampire that is your concern not ours, we will only intervene if you become a menace, but I'm sure you'll be in check." He winked at Benji and then we left off to make our own future.
