Chapter 2

Paul POV:

I watched as Bella's body convulsed and shook with trembles. The realization shocked me to my core; girls could phase?

I looked into her eyes, the one place I have been avoiding. I didn't think I could handle the hurt, pain and anger in her eyes every time she would look at me. But as I looked up into those crystalline eyes, I knew she was my sun, my moon, my skies, and and my stars. She was my world. It was impossible to describe, but I felt a pull towards her, a pull that told me that if I could kiss her, hold her, everything would be fine.

The trembles grew in frequency and became more violent. I think she could feel my gaze on her because she turned to see my eyes and stopped shaking completely, falling to her knees. I ran over to her, picking her up and placing her gently down on the couch in the living room. "Bella," I asked gently, "Are you OK?"

She shook her head, causing a few stray pieces of hair to fall into her eyes. I swiftly moved them behind her ears and smiled gently, "No... I'm just so angry," she said, her eyes glazed over.

I heard Sam tell me to hurry, "I have to go." I said, standing up and smiling at her lightly.

"Wait, won't you tell me what's going on?" She asked.

I looked at her, "Soon," I said, then ran outside and into the thick growth of vegetation, kicking off my pants and tying them around my ankle with a leather cord before phasing.

Already, there was a pain in my heart, one tugging me in the direction of my imprint. I shook it off, focusing on finding Jared, Sam and Embry.

Took you long enough. -Embry

I have a good reason. Guys, I imprinted. -Me

Ooh La La. Pauly imprinted. So, who's the lucky guy? -Jared

I growled at them, they could be so immature at times.

She is Bella. -Me

No way! -Embry

Ironic. -Jared

What's that supposed to mean? -Me

Dude, she is so obviously in love with you For years... I am guessing since she was 13... maybe 14.-Embry

I was shocked, someone as beautiful as Bella wouldn't like someone like me. I mean; she is a goddess, a gift among men...

Looks like our little Pauly's got it bad!-Jared

Shut it Jared. You're one to talk, look at how Kim has you whipped!-Me

He growled, thinking of ways to kill me. I rolled my oversized eyes and felt the familiar tingling sensation that informed us that someone was phasing.

Bella's phasing, guys.-Sam

What? I thought that only guys could phase... unless she really is a guy and Pauly's gay...-Embry

I growled at Embry, listening as it echoed through the woods, and smiled, completely satisfied with my work when his eyes widened.

Yeah, Jake and Bella got into a fight.-Sam

At the mention of my imprint, I pushed my wolf-body to go faster and faster, running at a ridiculous speed. After a moment, I arrived at the Black residence, and phased, dressing quickly.

I ran up to the door and yanked it opened to see a violently shaking Bella and an off looking Jacob.

"Outside!" I ordered Bella, picking her up bridal-style, dragging her out of the house.

I was able to get Bella into the vegetation as she phased. The eerie sound of popping bones and splitting skin filled my ears, and I winced slightly, it sounded horrible and it was like I could feel her pain, like I was her screams and moans. I winced again; I couldn't handle seeing my love being in that much pain. I couldn't-no wouldn't withstand it.

But then, as I heard the final pop, I came eye-to-eye with a gorgeous white-silver wolf and all the thoughts drained from my mind.
