Chapter 3

Jacob POV

"Rose needs to be warned of what will happen or she could end up hurting the others. If she were to hurt one of them, she would never forgive herself." I said and the Cullen's nodded.

"Jake, could you and Billy go? You know more about this than we do and Billy would be able to interpret the prophecy on the spot." Carlisle asked and I wasn't sure if Billy would go, but I sure would.

"I can for sure but someone needs to call them to let them know what's happening." I said and Carlisle pulled out his phone and searched for the number that Rose had given them. He dialed the number and it rang several times before Rose answered.

"Hello?" Rose answered.

"Rose this is Carlisle. Jacob is here at the house and says he has some information you need on the bite. He said there is a danger to you and your friends and he needs to come and see you right away." Carlisle explained.

"The bite is healing pretty well but I have been feeling a little weird lately. Give Jake this number and tell him to call when he gets to California. I will give him directions to dad's estate. What's happening?" she asked and Carlisle put the phone in my open hand.

"Rose, there is an old prophecy about what would happen if we ever bit someone who was a Damphir. It doesn't say the exact outcome, but the changes you would go through may cause you to harm those close to you. I will be there as soon as I can and I'll try to bring one of the elders to help explain." I said.

"Okay, but get here quickly because I'm feeling really strange." Rose said and I could hear the concern in her voice.

"Okay Rose." I said and I hung up. I hoped that I wouldn't get there too late. I took off to the Res and talked to Billy. He agreed and I drove us both down to California. Rose texted me the address when we got close and we had no trouble finding the place. I just hoped we weren't too late.

Rose POV

I had noticed so strange things happening to me and so had some of the others. I was having a very hard time with my anger and after Jake's explanation I could see some of the effects he described. Later that night I crawled into bed with Dimitri and he jumped when my skin touched his. I looked at him in confusion.

"Roza, you are burning up. Are you feeling okay?" He said.

"I feel fine Dimitri." I replied and he left the room and came back with a thermometer and I groaned but complied to appease his curiosity. The thermometer beeped and his eyes widened as he read it. When he showed it to me I did the same. It read 108.3 and I was in total disbelief. Wouldn't I feel like hell if my temperature was that high? This must have been something else related to the prophecy. Dimitri went to get the others and by the time he returned I started to feel the heat of my body. There was also pain with it and I groaned as it increased in intensity. Dad was also here in the room too and Dimitri was beside me, trying to cool down my skin. I was sweating bullets by the time that Jake and his father showed up. Jake was trying to keep me calm as Billy explained the prophecy to the others. My body was on fire and the pain increased.

"Jake, it hurts." I said and tears fell from my eyes.

"I know Rose and I'm sorry. It'll be over soon." Jake assured me. Billy explained to the others that it was too dangerous for them to be around me at the time and if I lashed out with the pain, I could hurt them. Dimitri looked pained as he was helpless to do anything for me. Jake was trying to cool my body but it wasn't working. Christian tried to pull some of the heat while Mia drenched me in cool water. Nothing helped as the heat and pain increased I couldn't stop my screams. I had major injuries before and I had never felt pain like this. Spots danced across my vision and I welcomed the darkness if it would stop the pain. Minutes later, I passed out cold and the pain stopped.

Jake POV

We got to Rose just as the worst of the changes were starting and I ran to her side as Billy explained the prophecy to the others. Billy asked the others to stay away in case she would lash out. I tried to keep her body cool but it wasn't working and Mia drenched her in cool water to help but nothing did. The pain increased and she screamed. I knew that she was in serious pain and her tolerance was high, but this was intense even for her. Minutes later she stopped screaming as she passed out form the pain. Her body convulsed and I tried to keep her as still as possible. I noticed that her bones cracked and realigned themselves in order to phase.

"Billy, she's out cold and she's going to phase." I yelled back never taking my eyes off her.

"Jake put her on the floor so she doesn't fall and step back from her. She can't control the first phase so do it quickly." Billy said and I complied. I stepped away from her quickly and a shudder erupted through her body as her bones realigned and the most beautiful white fur covered her body. We stood there in stunned silence as she phased from a 5'4 Damphir to a 6' white wolf. We were all stunned and slightly in awe of her as she lay there motionless on the floor. As we broke out of our little trance, Rose started to stir in wolf form and I knew she would be scared at first. She looked up as she opened her eyes and they were ice blue which was quite a shock. Most of us kept our original eye and hair color when we phased or something close to it.

"It's okay Rose. Your safe here and you survived your first phase." I said and she looked at herself in shock. I turned to the others in the room. "You guys might want to either leave the room or turn around. I'm going to try and talk her through phasing back to her Damphir form." I said and grabbed the blanket off the bed and walked toward her. I pulled it around her so that when she phased back she wasn't exposed. Most of them left the room with the exception of her father, Billy, Lissa and Dimitri.

Rose POV

I woke up on the floor and I felt like hell. I looked up at the others in the room and there was a mix of fear and awe around them. Jake told me I was safe and survived the phase and I looked at myself in shock. I was no longer a Damphir but a very large wolf. My body was covered in a pristine white fur and I was in some serious shock. I certainly hoped I wouldn't stay like this and if I returned to my Damphir form I wouldn't have to try and pull off white hair. Yeah that wouldn't be too good. Jake told the others they might want to leave the room or turn around. He was going to try and talk me through the phasing back to my Damphir form. Jake grabbed the blanket off the bed and wrapped it around me while most of my friends left the room to preserve my modesty.

"Rose, to phase back at first you need to visualize your body as a Damphir. Concentrate on that picture and you should be able to phase back." Jake told me and I nodded I closed my eyes and did as he told me. At first nothing happened but the harder I concentrated, the closer it seemed to be to me. Several minutes passed and I finally phased back to myself. I tried to stand but my muscles wouldn't let me. My body was wracked with pain and I groaned. Dimitri stepped forward and picked up my naked body wrapped in the blanket and carried me to the bed. My energy was spent and I couldn't do anything but lay there. I hurt all over but it was nothing like the pain I had experienced in the last few minutes. Jake came to sit beside me for a minute and made sure that my body temperature was going back down.

"Your body temperature will be a little higher from now on and extreme anger could cause you to phase. You will be really sore for the next few days but that's normal after the first phase. It won't happen every time and the more you phase, the less it will hurt. It might be a good idea to carry some extra clothing with you in case you phase. When you phase, your clothing will be shredded so if you can get somewhere and strip off first before you phase that is best." He explained and then smiled a little. "Rest now Rose. You'll feel like hell for the next day or so but you'll be just fine and I'll stay close by if you need me." I nodded and he left the room with dad, Lissa and Billy. Dimitri stayed in the room and the expression he wore was one of confusion and concern. He climbed into bed beside me but didn't touch me.

"I want to hold you close Roza, but I don't want to cause you anymore pain." He said and I felt a little better at his explanation. My eyes were closing of their own accord and I fought to keep them open.

"I'm so tired Comrade and it hurt so much." I told him and he smiled but I could see the pain in his eyes. He kissed my forehead lightly.

"I know Roza. Try to get some rest and I'll be right here if you need me." He said and that was the last thing I heard before my eyes shut for the night.

Dimitri POV

I was lying in the bed when Roza crawled in beside me and I jumped as our skin made contact. The normal spark I felt when touching her was masked by intense heat. Roza said she felt fine but when I checked her temperature we both widened our eyes. I went to get the others because I really didn't know how to deal with this. Luckily they were all downstairs and hadn't gone to bed yet.

"Guys there is something wrong with Roza." I said seriously.

"What is it Dimitri?" Lissa said with her voice full of concern.

"When she got in the bed, she was burning up so I checked her temperature. It read 108.3, but she says she feels fine." I said confused at this whole mess. Everyone gave a look of concern and we all knew that she was feeling strange the last few days.

Everyone ran back to the bedroom and when we got to her the heat of her body had increased and she appeared to be in pain. I got a wet rag and tried to keep her body temperature down but it wasn't helping. Soon Jake and an older man were in the room. This must have been one of the Queilute elders. He tried to explain what was happening to my Roza but I was solely focused on her. Jake took my place, saying that she could lash out from the pain and could seriously hurt one of us. Jake was also trying to cool her body but it wasn't working. Christian used his power to try and take some of the heat from her body and Mia tried to cool her by drenching her with cool water. Seeing her tears from the pain killed me and there was nothing I could do but sit there and watch her go through the pain. She screamed as the pain increased and it broke my heart. She finally passed out from the pain and Jake told Billy she was getting ready to phase. Wait, phase? So she is turning into a giant wolf?

Jake picked her up and placed her on the floor as her body convulsed and a shudder erupted through her body followed by a blanket of pure white fur. We stood there in awe as she finally stirred and when she opened her eyes they were a bright ice blue. She was beautiful as a Damphir but as a wolf she was also beautiful and I had a new respect for her. Jake told us that we might want to leave the room to give her some privacy. He was going to try and talk her through phasing back to her Damphir form. I didn't like the fact that Jake was seeing her like this, but the rest of us were at a loss for how to deal with all of this. He wrapped a blanket around her and walked her through phasing back and after a few tries she was herself again. She tried to stand but her body had been taxed to its limits. I carried her to our bed and thankfully Christian had dried it out for us. Jake talked to her for a few minutes and explained some things about phasing and I hoped that her anger issues wouldn't make this any harder for her. The darkness had already caused her to lose control of her anger and now this was added into the mix. Jake told her to get some rest and I could tell that she was tired and in pain. She looked at me in question because I wasn't holding her. I told her that I didn't want to cause her anymore pain and I kissed her forehead, telling her to get some sleep. After she was asleep, I went downstairs to get something to drink and talk to the others and figure out where we go from here.

I loved her regardless of what or who she was, but I feared that if she were revealed at court then someone would try to hurt her. Lissa was queen so we had to go back, but with this new development I was worried for Roza. The others were gathered downstairs like before and I was surprised to see that Jake and Billy were still here.

"How is she Dimitri?" Lissa asked and I sighed in exhaustion.

"She is sleeping for now. Jake said it would take a few days for her to feel better but she's fine under the circumstances." I said and she nodded along with the others. Abe looked lost but also furious.

"How did this happen Dimitri?" Abe asked and groaned internally.

"She was bitten by a shape shifter while we were staying with the Cullens." His eyes widened. "We went to Forks for our vacation and Lissa had decided on a camping trip. We were attacked by Strigoi and Roza was hurt during the attack. Although Lissa healed her, we stayed with them so we weren't exposed to another Strigoi attack. There was a misunderstanding between the Cullens and the wolves and Rose was bitten. Lissa couldn't heal it and it's supposed to be part of an old prophecy in their culture." I explained and Abe looked to Jake.

"So are you the one that bit her?" Abe asked still furious.

"No, I'm from La Push like the rest, but I have my own pack away from there." Jake said. "Like Dimitri said, Rose being bitten was a simple misunderstanding between the Cullens and the other pack."

"Jake actually helped Roza during the Strigoi attack. Eddie and I were guarding the Moroi as Roza fought and the last Strigoi got her down and bit her. Jake took out the one that was on her and ended the fight." I explained. Abe relaxed a little but was still mad that Roza was going through so much.

"I knew of the Cullens but I didn't know what they were. I have never met them face to face but it may be time I do so." Abe said.

"They are different from the others of their kind and the Strigoi that you face. They feed only on animal blood and have proven to be trustworthy." Jake said and I was surprised at his views on the Cullens since most of the wolves hated them so much. "Edward and Bella's daughter is my imprint and that's the main reason I protect them."

"So will Roza….imprint like your kind do?" I asked warily.

"Don't worry Dimitri. She loves you more than you could ever imagine and I don't see her imprinting on anyone except for maybe you." Jake said with a smile.

"So what do we do now? Going back to court could put Roza in danger if this gets out and she already had anger issues without adding this to the mix. I fear for Roza if she happens to phase while at court and others see her." I said. The realization was apparent on their faces as they thought about the possibilities.

"I want her to be at court with me but it is too dangerous for her until she at least learns more about this. Also she needs to be where others can help her with this and we can't help her because we don't know how to deal with this." Lissa said and I agreed although I can't go with her because I'd have to take her position as guardian.

"She is welcome to stay at La Push or with the Cullens of course but what about the rest of you?" Billy asked.

"Lissa has to go back to court because she is Queen. Eddie is her guardian along with Roza so if Roza doesn't come back with us, I'll have to take her place. The other Moroi would be allowed to do as they please, but it would look suspicious if we came back without all of the Moroi. Lissa can say that Rose is on leave or something to cover her but it would be hard to cover more than that." I said and they all saw the truth in my words and agreed that it was best if Roza went back to Forks for her to learn how to deal with all of the changes to her body.

Well whatcha think? I could use some ideas about where to go with this story so please R&R.
