I just want to make sure I am not taking credit for any of Stephanie's work, so remember that all the characters in my story will be hers unless I say otherwise, although I'm sure your all smart enough to notice a character that was not present in the Twilight series. ENJOY!!!!
My paws gently brushed the ground while I ran; I could feel the forest floor covered in moss, leaves, dirt and gravel. I began thinking about my time in the woods.
I had been living off of the forest for months. Well really if I was honest with myself I did not know how long it had been. But eventually, all the energy it took to run as hard as I had, had drained, and I knew I needed to find some way to survive, without becoming a human, or going back home. At first I ate berries, but it was not satisfying to my seeming enormous appetite. That's when I started hunting rabbits, which only reminded me of her.
I wondered if I had been gone long enough for them to have the wedding, even long enough for him to change her. I couldn't take it, that's why I ran in the first place. The anger and the pain were bottling up inside of me and I knew that sooner or later it would be too much, that's why I was still a wolf, and I suppose it was my way of postponing it.
I knew that I had covered over 300 miles because I couldn't hear the packs thoughts any longer. It was like the invisible string that had connected me to them was broken, I wondered if I would ever be able to hear them again. At first when their thoughts had started to come in disconnected waves, I was thankful, I was glad they could no longer try and find me; I was glad that they were out of my head. But now it was different, I longed for the connection. I needed something to keep me linked to my life, because right now I had nothing.
The one time I had tried to change back I could not make myself feel human. I had sat in the forest for what seemed like an eternity trying to find a memory that would pull me back into my human form. I found none. Not even the love I felt for her, for Bella, was enough to transform me. I used to be able to just know that I wanted to be human and my body would do the rest, but now I struggled, even more than the first time I had ever changed. What if I was stuck as a wolf for the rest of time? Great I get to suffer heartbreak for the rest of my life, and Sam tried to tell me this was a gift.
Sam had been so forgiving, or at least while I could still hear him. He never once told me to move on, or to just get over it, which if I was watching someone else act like this, that's what I would do. Wait, Bella was like this when that god damned leech left her, why the hell did he ever come back? I could have made her happy, she could have pulled through, and I know I could have made her forget. But then again I feel like nothing could ever make me feel a love this strong, even if I found my imprint, I don't think she could make me feel any stronger than I do towards Bella.
But I knew that wasn't true, that's why I stayed as far from humans as I could. I did not want to find my imprint. I knew that if I did, I would have to give my heart to her, and I wasn't sure if I could. Plus, what can anyone make out of a broken, torn, and shredded heart, that is in no hopes of ever being repaired. No one deserves that.
It was dark now. I loved the forest at night, there was nothing to disturb me and the moon lit everything in an earthy glow. As I dogged past trees, my fur flew in the wind and it felt amazing. Nights like this were my favourite, when the cool wind brushed against me, and I felt like there had to be something good waiting for me somewhere in this world. Tonight was even more spectacular than usual as the full moon sat watching the stars as they danced across the sky.
I was sure that phasing would leave me with extremely long hair because my fur was getting to be an annoying length. I knew I would have to deal with it soon, I mean it's okay being shaggy, but it was far past that and therefore a hassle. I kept getting burs stuck in it and it made me really itchy and my paws and mouth weren't much help in getting them out. I sighed but it sounded more like a growl of some kind.
That's when I heard it; a slight rustling, it was distant even to my ears. I stopped and made no noise, listening for any sign of life. I heard nothing; except for my own breathing. Maybe I was too far away to hear anything again. I edged closer to the location of the first sound, then I heard a branch crack; this time it was closer to me and on the opposite side from the original sound. I had to wonder how someone could move so fast, that's when the wind changed and a breeze blew in my direction. That definitely explained it.

Hey guys!! Thanks for reading, and thanks to everyone who reviewed it makes me want to keep writing. Sorry about the short chapter, my Internet has been down so I haven't checked to see anyone had read my story, so I didn't want to waste my time writing something people didn't want to read. I'm working on the next chapter because I don't want to leave anyone hanging for to long. Oh and because I don't really know how this website works I will answer any questions here. Marshi, I am not going to tell you what I plan on doing because that would give away the plot, but if you are really curious you can look at my page and I'm sure you will be able to figure out the answer to your question. Sorry for being a pain like that but I really don't want to give anything away, hope you understand! Anyways thanks again for reading and if you get the chance I always love to know what you think!
p.s. Sorry this note was so long... I had a lot to say!
XOXOXOXOXOXO, Starshinesbrightly
