Note: Hey! I'd like to say that I love you all and hope everyone still enjoys where this is going. If you think my story has been done and I'm just copying others then stop reading. I have a plan. Yes it's similar to other people's stories but if you look anywhere, in any section of you'll find many stories that are alike, but have some distinct characteristics. I know some may be pissed that I stopped the love scene but I needed Jake to talk to Bella and it hit me while writing it that the best time was just before they made love.

Now I'd like to say that my story will be completely different but I'd be lying. I always like to read other people's fanfics and the take some parts from each of them and create my own Idea.

Now that that's over, here's chapter 17.

Chapter 17: A Howl or a Growl?

BPOV

"What did you want to talk about Jake?" We were walking slowly, headed towards his bands room.

"I wanted to know how you were doing...Alice and Rose seemed to have changed since the last time we saw them." He tried sounding like he didn't care but I could tell he did.

"Yeah, well people change. All the time. One day I'm not going to be the same. I'll change too."

No matter what he says...

"Do you have to? I mean, staying the same isn't bad. Well, other than growing up, but that's not the end of the world." He said a little rushed.

"For you..." I mumbled, thinking he couldn't hear me.

"What's so bad about getting old?" He put his hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off. He was too hot after Edwards's marvellously cold touch.

"Getting old. Dying."

"But that's inevitable...sort of..." I wasn't sure if I was supposed to hear the last part. Having some random vampire traits at random times came in handy...

"I just don't want to stay the same. I like change. I don't want to be the only one who is still the same years from now..."

If only you knew about how and what they are...

"I'll still be the same. I won't change if you don't want me to. I'll stay just like you." He smiled a toothy smile.

I smiled back. "I don't think that's an option Jake. I like you, as a friend. Not anything more. Edward...I would give everything to be with him for eternity."

I thought I heard him growl. We were at the door to his room.

"Come in for a moment Bella. We need to talk to you." He opened the door and revealed three other barely dressed boys. Sam was sitting in the middle with Embry on his right. Behind Embry was Quil. Jacob walked passed me and went to Sam's left.

"Bella, we have something to tell you. You may not believe us, but please keep an open mind." Sam spoke with confidence and the boys kept quiet. I nodded my head.

"Have you ever heard any of the Quileute legend?"

"I have read one or two before."

"Then you may have heard of the Cold Ones and the Wolves. Legend says that we Quileute descended from wolves. Long ago we became human with some sort of magic. The wolves are here to protect the people from the cold ones. They are blood suckers, who only want to drink the blood of innocents."

I sort of knew everything he was talking about. I had read it online and in that Twilight book.

"According to legend, two of them moved here, to live along with the people. Ephraim Black, Jacobs's great grandfather, made a deal with them. If they would not bite any humans, they would be allowed to live in the area. Unfortunately, they have broken our treaty.—"

"No, they haven't."

"What?" Sam looked confused.

"They haven't broken the treaty. Edward, Emmett Jasper and James were turned by a nomad called Laurent.|" It took all my energy not to faint. I felt the bite mark pulsate.

"Alice was turned by Edward under intense conditions and Rosalie was dying when Emmett changed her. Their lives were saved. Carlisle and Esme didn't do anything wrong." They stared at me, shocked.

"So, you know all about it. I guess you know then that you were about to...do something you could never take back, with a blood sucker."

"Yes, I knew. And I also knew that if I did there would be a chance he would turn me by biting me. I was counting on it." My eyes were narrow. I was serious. Emmett told me to try and take advantage of the fact that he's still a teenage boy. Emmett bites Rosalie a lot so I thought I'd give it a try. And the Jake knocked on the door.

"You do know that being one of them is not fun. You shouldn't want to become what they are."

"But I should stay frail and human until something happens and Edward gets his heart broken and Emmett too. And Rose and Alice don't have someone to dress up. And Charlie losses his only daughter. I've thought about it and I want to be like them. I could die very easily." I paused and looked at my arm. The bite was there, as well as every other mark I'd ever made.

"Charlie may not always be father of the year." I thought to the nights he had gotten drunk and came into my room. "But he deserves to have his daughter. And I deserve to be like the one I love. Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to lose my virginity and maybe my humanity." I stood up from the chair I had sat in and walked to the door.

"And don't try following me. You all smell like wet dog. Edward smells like heaven. I'll take heaven over a dog any day." I walked out and back to the room, hoping Edward was still there and he still wanted to do something.

I walked in and saw everyone was back. Alice gave me a sympathetic smile.

I guess she saw it getting interrupted.

Everyone was looking at Edward. He was on the couch with his arms spread out and his head leaned back onto the back of the couch. I went straight to his arms and they tightened around me.

"How did you know they're werewolves?" He asked softly. He must have heard everything.

"We didn't hear it all but we heard you saying that they smelt like dogs. You were talking too low and we were too far away. But if that's how it ended we should have gone to the room to see what else she said." Emmett laughed along with the others.

"I could smell it. Sometimes I get random vampire powers because of the bite. I get better hearing, or sense of smell, or balance, speed...you know random bits of powers for a few seconds."

Thank God they didn't hear about what I said about Charlie...Edward and Emmett really wouldn't like it...and I'd never be able to be home again...

"Bella, are you hungry?" Alice asked. Before I could respond my stomach growled.

"I guess that's a yes. What do you want? Chinese, Mexican, Greek, Middle Eastern?" Rosalie asked me.

"Stop Rose, you're making me hungry!" Emmett laughed as he held his stomach. "Some of those animals are delicious!"

I laughed along with them, knowing that one day I would get to truly understand the joke.

"I'll just make myself something at home. We should probably get going. You know, before Charlie calls in the team." Everyone laughed again.

We decided that Emmett Edward and I would go see Charlie and fill him in on our night. Edward would pretend to leave after a while and Emmett and I would say we were tired. When Charlie falls asleep Emmett would sneak out to see Rose and Edward would lay in bed with me, watching me sleep. He was so sweet.

I woke up I the middle of the night and he was gone. I was sweating and that was my first indication. The next was that there was someone else there. He had my bracelet in his hands and was looking right at me.

"No...Please no..." I fainted

Note: It's not the greatest but it's the next chapter. I had some time and I really wanted to write so here it is. I hope you like it...I know the Quileute explanation thing is horrible but I couldn't think straight...I wasn't sure how to put it so yeah...Once again I'd like to say that I will be inherriting 3 stories from VegiVamp. If you want to help me make them better to check them out and give me ideas. I'm doing this to be nice to her. She deserves it. Please R&R.
