Chapter 4

At Bio the next day, we were examining the individual patterns on the roots of our hair. We were each to pull out a strand of hair and look at it under a microscope. I reached up and found a hair and pulled. Nothing happened. I looked at my hand and found no hair in it. I tried again and again with several different hairs and nothing would come out! I was starting to worry people would notice if I couldn't pull out a hair when I noticed a hair that had fallen off of me and onto my jacket. Interestingly I still shed hair a bit even when I couldn't pull one off with all of my strength.

I placed the hair under the microscope and leaned down to look through the eyepiece. I leaned back from what I saw. I knew what a hair is supposed to look like, but mine looked so different. I looked again and noted the clear smooth surface on top of the root. It looked like my hair had been coated in the finest layer of plastic or something like that. I sketched what my hair had looked like last time I did this project and submitted it and left class. It was my last period of the day so I headed out towards the parking lot.

But there was someone standing next to my truck.

"Jake?" I asked "Is that you? You look…huge!"

He nodded but didn't smile. "We need to talk Bella. I'm driving you down to La Push." I was confused but he looked very serious so I just followed him and he coaxed my tired truck up to the reservation. But he didn't stop at his house, we drove somewhere else, to a small house I had never seen before.

"Jake, where-"

"You'll find out soon enough."

We walked inside and I was shocked to see Sam and some other very tall la push guys. I was introduced to them and they were named Embry, Quill, and Paul. They seemed friendly but at the moment had more important things on their minds.

"We have some important things to discuss with you Bella," Sam started. "First, we need to ask you about your scar."

"Huh? Which scar?" I asked utterly bewildered. How could this be any of their business?

"The one on the back of your hand." Oh. How did they know about that? An unexplained panic was growing in my chest. I held out my hand to Sam and he looked at it before quickly dropping it like it burned him.

"It is as I thought, but now I must ask how you survived the attack." Sam said. I was about to pretend I had no idea what he was talking about when-

"Yeah! And which of those bloodsucking, treaty-breaking Cullens did it to you?" Paul pitched in.

My mouth dropped open and I dropped down to a couch that was luckily behind me. "You know about them?" I asked disbelieving.

Jacob snorted. "Of course we do, I was the one to tell you about them in the first place!" Sam growled in response and Jake qualified his earlier statement with, "But of course at the time I didn't believe it so it doesn't count."

"Well, I still don't see how it's any of your business. I hardly even know you people, why should I tell you all about my life?"

"Because we exist to protect you humans so if you want protecting, I'm going to have to ask you to tell us which of the Cullen's did this so that we can remove them from the world." Sam said. He seemed to be under the impression this would convince me. One thing he said, however, did catch my attention.

"I'm sorry, you humans? You talk like you aren't one."

"Well…" he paused. "Not exactly."

"*cough cough* I resent that *cough cough*" I heard Jacob mumble under his breath. Sam shot him a look and Jacob shut up.

"We are partly human. But that is not important, what is important is which one of them broke the treaty and bit you."

"Well, if you aren't going to tell me who you are, I'm not going to tell you who bit me. And whatever you are, I don't need your protection. I don't need anyone's protection anymore." And with that, I turned on my heel and headed for the door.

"Wait Bella!" Jacob somehow appeared in front of me and blocked the door. "Come on Sam, can't we just tell her? It's not like she's gonna freak out; she obviously handled the Cullen's revelation pretty well."

I turned back to Sam and put a hand on my hip, waiting.

"Fine," he growled.

I recognized that growl.
