"Where do you think you've been?" I head Edward shout angrily from downstairs. I heard the entire Family including the flutterer and Bella storm upstairs. How the hell was I going to get out of this one?

"You, lied to my wife, stole money and clothes and then went out without asking anybody!" If he was human he would have been bright red.

"I didn't steal anything! And besides I didn't spend anything and I posted the money through the letter box!"

"Faith, I don't think you realise the danger you put yourself, us and others in" Carlisle said with his calm voice though I thought I heard an undertone of frustration. "You could have lost control and killed someone."

"Well I didn't lose control" But I had killed someone.

"You did what?" Edward hissed. I concentrated,

"I think it's best for you to stay out of my head!" Good I felt the tingle, it worked.

"So you do have a power" Bella spoke.

"Yeah, sorry." I wasn't paying her any attention.

"She killed someone!" Edward said angrily.

"What? Faith, why?" Emmett looked hurt. A pang of guilt rushed through me. No point lying just tell them the truth, I took a breath and folded my arms.

"Yes, I did, I drunk him clean and I enjoyed every second of it" I said calmly.

"This is a problem." Carlisle said sympathetically.

"What did you do with the body?" Jasper asked.

"We left them," Shit I shouldn't have said that. "I mean I left him in a bush."

"Why did you say we and them?" The flutterer chimed.

"Shut up, it was an accident" I hissed.

"Do not talk to my daughter like that" Bella hissed.

"Do not talk to me like that" I snarled back.

"Faith, I swear to God!" Edward stepped forward.

"What? What are you gonna do Edward? Go to Italy? Yeah, I heard all about that, smooth" I'd clearly hit a nerve. Good. Then I saw his body tighten and he leapt at me. I was caught off guard and smacked the wall behind me. I felt very strong after just feeding, and I smashed him against the shelves. I felt Emmett and Jasper pulling us apart.

"Look, I was completely in control okay! He was a bum anyway no one's going to miss him. I won't do it again, and if you want more proof that I was in control when I was in the bar…"

"You were in a bar!" Jasper yelled.

"Dude, I can take care of myself, anyway I had managed to tune out the heart beats but when they came back I got up and left."

"That's all very well but then why did you go and kill someone?"

"I wanted to try it! Same reason you try drugs!"

"You've tried drugs!" Jasper said even louder.

"Oh, nothing serious, don't get your knickers in a twist."

"Okay, the point is, she seemed to know what she was doing and you can't condemn her for being curious." Esme stepped in "But, Faith. Trust is something very important in this household and while you are under my roof you will obey my rules, and one of those rules is you must not lie or deceive others. Now I know with your gift this may prove difficult. But Carlisle and I were discussing last night ways in which we can bind your powers."

"Wait you want to get rid of my powers?"

"Only to prevent them from working on us, we understand you have been given them for a reason but for the time being we cannot trust you, especially with the way you are acting" She reminded me of my mother, when I was young and I'd done something naughty like when I ran away in the supermarket.

"If you stop me using my powers on you, I want you to stop Eddie's power working on me, and the Flutterer's." I said putting my foot down.

"This is going to be very expensive." I heard Carlisle mutter. Edward was glaring at me.

"Deal" The Flutterer chuckled. Everyone looked at her and laughed including me.

Everyone had left slightly calmer, Jasper and Alice stayed with me lecturing me about being underage and not going to pubs.

"Though Faith I must say, you're outfit is lovely, but where an earth are your shoes?"

"Oh, I gave them to this homeless lady."

"Oh, why?"

"I don't really like wearing shoes and I didn't want to free run with them on"

"What pair did you wear?"

"The black suede ones" I smiled

"Oh they were a nice choice, we should go shopping sometime." She smiled for a split second; Jasper got up and left the room. She watched him leave.

"It's nice to see how much you two still love each other." I smiled.

"We're all soul mates here." She smiled "Even little Renesme has found hers".

"Really?" I wondered.

"Oh yes a werewolf called Jacob imprinted on her, and we just need for yours to come along" She smiled then looked as if she shouldn't have said anything. Then I remembered Bella mentioning a werewolf or shape shifter.

"Jacob?" I asked.

"Yeah, how did you know?" She asked amused.

"Oh Bella mentioned him."

"I want to meet, these shape shifters." I smiled "They're like me, except they stink apparently" Alice burst out laughing.

"We'll see" She took hold of my hand and a more solemn look spread across her face. "I like you Faith, I get you. Esme and Edward can be so lovely but they don't understand that you're only 15. Still a teenager and for a new-born you're adjusting so well, alongside your father's death" My stomach felt hollow, I'd tried to block out my father's death, I missed him, I realised how much I loved him, and that I had acted like a spoiled brat while I lived with him. "Be a teenager, Faith. While you still can, you won't be for much longer and my goodness you definitely don't look one" light shone through her, she was most definitely my ray of sunshine.

A broken "Yeah" was all I could manage to say.

"Oh, and by the way, don't tell anyone I told you, because well they don't know yet, but you're going to be joining Forks high" She whispered.

"Really when?"

"Well they're on a break now but next week."

"Oh," I didn't know if I really wanted to go back to school, but it would be nice meeting people my age. "Alice, I'm sorry if I was out of order a while ago to you, I was just kind of lary"

"Lary?" She asked

"Angry" I smiled.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Well I'm going down town, to get some decorations I'm planning a party" She smiled, and left the room.

I sat there for a few minutes. It was about 8am. I wanted to explore the forest.

"Jasper!" I yelled from my room.

"Yes?" he called back.

"Can we go for a run?"

"Where about?"

"The woods."

"Yeah sounds good, let me just ask Carlisle…Carlisle?"

"Of course, just keep her safe" He said from another room.

I laughed.

I opened my wardrobe and discovered Alice had stocked it, to the rim. I searched around for some trackie bottoms and a hoodie, but of course Alice would never put such things in a wardrobe.

"Jasper" I called again

"Yeah?"

"Do you have any trackies?"

"Trackies?"

"You know like, what do you call them? Like lounge around sort of trousers and running trousers."

"Oh yeah, sweat pants "He was up in two seconds, handing me some grey trackies. "Might be a bit big though"

"I'm only a bit smaller than you, and girls have wider hips anyway, should be fine" I smiled, he just smiled back, "Welll turn around!"

"Oh yeah sorry" He turned around and I changed into them I rummaged for a t-shirt and a pair of trainers which to my surprise I found.

"Tada!"

"You know you don't need those" He said pointing at my trainers.

"You're right, I hate shoes" and I popped them off.

"No I mean, you can run in anything, just fine."

"Yeah but I like maximum comfort" I smiled.

"All right, let's go." We left through the bedroom window. "Whereabouts do you want to go?"

"Wherever we end up" I smiled and burst out into a run.

"Remember, you're still faster than me, slow down" He laughed. So I did.

"Awww, can't lil Jasper keep up?" I said in my baby voice, running backwards facing him. "You're it" I said tapping him on the shoulder.

"We'll see about that." He said chasing after me. I loved the adrenalin rush, I jumped and ran up a tree, jumping from branch to branch, pretending I was a ninja. I was faster than Jasper but clearly he had had more practice in such situations. "Got yah" he said coming out of nowhere.

"Damn!" I yelled playfully. The way me and my school team usually was through sheer aggression and drive, so I was going to use those. He was up ahead running to the left, though he was on the ground, I stayed on tree top and tailed him. He ducked out of sight and was running right now, he kept appearing and disappearing, I ran past a tree that had a long piece of rope hanging from a branch, probably originally holding a tire swing. I grabbed it and tore it off. I'd have to get out of sight, I thought, get up ahead. I jumped a few branches higher I was literally jumping on the tips of trees. I was ahead of him now, I could see him, he couldn't see me, and I dropped the rope and tied it to two trees and then headed back, to resume my place behind him. "Found you" I laughed and gently lead him in the direction of the trap, we were only a few hundred metres from it now. Closer, closer and he jumped over it. I stopped. What just happened?

"Nice, anyone else would have fallen for it." He laughed stopping too.

"How did you see it?"

"I was looking for it, I know you too well." He walked closer to me. "I'm impressed however as it wasn't obvious you were leading me into a trap until you began to smile." I frowned "It wouldn't have worked anyway, with the speed I was going at it wouldn't have the strength to trip me."

"Ugh, whatever" I said walking towards him. "It." I said touching him. "Maybe this was my plan all along?" I smiled and then ran.

We ran for what seemed ages, and I didn't feel tired, when I go to Forks High I don't care what Carlisle says I'm joining the track team. I caught a whiff of something foul. Then I heard boys footsteps, they were running I spun and they came into focus, Jasper was running behind me.

"It" he tapped me. Then he seemed to have smelt the same thing. "Darn, werewolves."

"Werewolves" I whispered. I chased after the scent.

"Faith, where are you going?" Jasper shouted back. Then I saw them they jumped and turned into the most magnificent wolves. They were very large. I felt the tingling take over,

"Uh, oh"

"What? What is it?" Jasper said, now beside me.

"I think it's happening"

"What's happening?"

I didn't have time to explain, I felt my heart beat, I choked. Heat rushed through me, I felt dizzy, I realised that it was actually quite painful, you know when your hands are cold and then you start rubbing them, so that the blood flow is easier, well it felt like that. I was higher up and on all fours. I was also once again jet black, or so I thought, I turned round and the end of my tail was a big fluff of white.

"Oh dear, at least you don't smell like one" Jasper said stroking me. I heard the wolves howling, and I thought I'd try it. I was very loud and seemingly quite good at it. I tried it again.

"Hey, cut it out, I don't want the other wolves hearing or seeing you," Jasper hit me, "Oh, but I bet that's exactly what you want, isn't it?" He knew me too well, I ran off following the wolves scent. "Faith, this is exactly the reason Edward doesn't like you! " Jasper yelled. I was going to say and the reason you love me, but I couldn't speak so I just barked and ran faster. As a wolf I was now twice as fast as Jasper. I could no longer hear or smell him; he must have gone back to the house to get help. I saw the wolves standing around each other, by the looks of it there were two packs, odd, I thought. I slowed down and walked up to them. They all broke apart and faced me. There were two girls and quite a lot of boys, I wonder how that worked. I heard a few growls. I figured they were like dogs, and with the whole submissive and dominance thing. I just circled them; there was a red one who's smell I remembered from Bella's cottage, Jacob. There was a smaller one that was pure white with black eyes, a black nose and very fluffy ears, like an arctic wolf. One of the girls was grey and the other a dark chocolate. There was another small one with a sandy blonde/gold fur. I realised Jacob had disappeared. But then I saw a boy walk from behind some trees, he was quite good-looking. Which reminded me of Fabian, Jesus don't think about that now, I mentally kicked myself.

"Who are you?" Jacob said "Change, to your human form." He was cute, acting all macho. I laughed, which came out as a grunt. More of them were changing back, naked? I didn't turn naked last time. Let's hope I don't this time. The truth of the matter was I didn't know how to turn back. I stretched my back and laid down, not in a submissive way, in an aloof way. "Hello? Change back or we'll have to make you" How was I meant to say I couldn't? Ugh if any of them got near me I would rip them apart.

"And what is that smell? She smells like a vampire?" one of the boys said. Well at least they'd gotten that far, geez werewolves were dumb. Did I want them knowing I was a vampire? No it was more fun like this.

"Maybe it's not a shapeshifter?" another boy offered.

"Dude have you ever seen a normal wolf that big?"

"Her tail is so fluffy!" the boy who was the white wolf said.

"If you are a not a real wolf stand back up" The one who thought I wasn't a shape shifter said. I stood up.

"Then turn back!" Jacob was becoming impatient and so was I.

"Maybe it's not American, like foreign or something." A shorter boy offered.

"How would she have understood you?" Jacob turned back.

"I dunno let me ask, I have a way with the ladies" He swaggered forward, I tried not to laugh. "Are you, American, sit down, stay standing up if you're not."

"This is ridiculous" Jacob said resting his head against a tree, I stayed standing up. "Okay, so it's not American but it can understand you" Wow werewolves were really dumb.

"It's Australian!" The Arctic boy said.

"Maybe Kiwi?"

"English?" Jacob offered. I barked. "You're English?" I barked again. "Are you going to change back? I don't make threats and not mean it" I just stood there this was difficult. "Leah, Jilly you know what to do" Jacob said. They ran for me. I got up and rammed straight into them, being much stronger than them they both flew back. A growl rumbled from within me, I bared my fangs. They did the same, and the grey one, who was fast, ran back and swiped at me, I dodged and swiped back, and then jumped on her. I don't make idle threats I said if one of them got near me I would rip them apart. She whimpered beneath me as I bit into her neck. The blood, poured from her, it tasted different but I drank anyway.

"What the fuck is she doing?" One of the boys yelled, and then I saw one change and ram me off of the wolf. I hit the tree and felt myself change back. I stood up quickly, my body adjusting to the change.

"Who the fuck are you?" Jacob yelled. "You're not a shifter"

"You lot really do have double digit IQs don't you" I smiled, licking the blood from my teeth; she was already healing, damn. I looked round the chocolate wolf had passed out, I'd probably hit her without realising. "You're Jacob, am I right?" I circled him still smiling.

"How does she change still fully clothed?" I heard a tall boy ask.

"Yeah, I'm Jacob how'd you know?" Awww, he's getting defensive, how cute.

"Bella, talks about you, and Renesme" He flinched, oh soft spot, nice.

"How do you know them, who are you?" I could hear Carlisle, Bella and Jasper close by, well that was my fun over.

"Jake!" Bella called.

"Bella?" He called back; she jumped from one of the trees and hugged him. She took a look at Leah who had transformed back, but was still lying on the floor with her neck torn, it looked worse than it was.

"Oh my god, is she okay?" Bella asked Jacob.

"It looks worse than it is" I said.

"You!" she turned round to look at me, "Did you do all this?" She glared at me.

"Yeah, I did, in defence may I add, this idiot here got them to attack me" I said pointing at Jacob.

"You wouldn't turn" He yelled.

"I didn't know how! That's only the second time I've done it" I shouted back.

"Bella, what and who is she?" Jacob asked.

"Faith, apparently and old family friend, to be honest she's been nothing but hell since she got here, new born and a nightmare, with really, really pain in the ass powers"

"To be honest Bella you just sound jealous." I said looking at my nails

"Powers? What else can she do?"

"I can make you do whatever I want" I smiled sweetly.

"She tried using it on me, but of course it didn't work"

"Well you were gullible enough to give me what I wanted anyway, and that my dear speaks volumes"

"What?" Jacob looked confused.

"She can control people, through speech" Carlisle said, he was tending to Leah. "Faith's right it looks worse than it is she's already healing."

"Nice people do nice things for other people" She said back.

"Well let's face it we're not really people are we." I said folding my arms, she just stood there mouth wide open.

"Did you hear that?" she said to Jacob

"Hey don't imply Bella's not a person,"

"Oh don't be in denial I'm not either"

"I'm not even sure you were a person when you had a beating heart" Bella scoffed.

"You're getting better at banter, we should do this more often" I said impressed.

"I'm so sorry Carlisle I didn't realise the wolves would be here, and I definitely didn't think she would do something like this." Jasper said apologetically.

"I think we've learnt to expect the unexpected from Faith" Bella hissed.

"Not the unexpected, just what a crazy hormonal teenager would do" I heard Edward say behind me, great. "What is it you want, Faith?" He said from behind me. "All this attention seeking, rebelling, what is it?" Well that put me on the spot.

"Just want to have fun"

"And attention" Bella murmured walking past me to embrace Edward. I swivelled to face her.

"See there you are doing the whole jealous thing again?"

"Why would Bella be jealous of you?" Edward looked at me with distaste.

"New girl on the block, don't worry its normal. Oh and I have a cooler gift"

"Faith every gift is something to be treasured, none are greater or 'cooler' than others" Carlisle said.

"I think we all better get home Jacob, Sam I am awfully sorry, we'll keep more of an eye on her, she's going through a difficult time. " Carlisle said

"It's fine" An older man, Sam I assumed said. "Dealing with teenage girls is something we've had to do before" he said looking at Leah.

"Yeah, sorry" I said. Everyone seemed to be slightly stunned that I'd apologized, I just ignored them and walked, not run, walked all the way home with Jasper in silence which took hours, and it was dark when we got back.

Later that night Alice came up to my room,

"Hey Faith, guess what Carlisle and Esme think that you should go to school, and busy yourself, you know calm you down a bit" She plonked beside me. "I was right".

"Really? Do they trust me?"

"Faith, you're not evil, just badly behaved, you're not dumb, you're just a bit too smart for your own good" She smiled and gave me a hug. I laughed.

"When's school?"

"I was wrong about it being next week, it starts tomorrow, and Emmett is your driver, See ya" she smiled and left.

Well I guess me and Emmett were going to have to patch things up, and well tomorrow, let's just say is going to be interesting.

Thanks for reading! Team Bella or Team Faith? Hmmmm :D x
