Chapter 4

When Jake opened the back door to let me in, I went walked straight into the kitchen. In the fridge was a plate with 4 slices of pizza, I put it into the microwave. While waiting for my pizza, I started eating a box of biscuits. It was so good to eat something, I'm so bloody hungry.

"Bella, the food isn't going to ran away." Billy snapped me out of my eating faze, but I didn't stop. Just didn't put so much into my mouth. God, that microwave is taking forever.

"I'm hungry." My voice was whinny. I could hear the guys laughing come from the lounge room. Billy was about to speak when the microwave finished. I dropped my biscuits and headed for my pizza. I could feel my mouth watering just thinking about eating it. I pulled the pizza out, taking a bite and walking over to the kitchen table. Before I could even sit down, Jake started pulling me into the lounge room with everyone else. Jake sat me down next to him, and Billy pulled up next to the seat in his wheelchair. Paul was sitting opposite me, with the others spaced out on the floor.

"Smells good Bells." I quietly growled at Paul. No one was having my pizza. I heard a few laughs. Everyone sat there for awhile, while i took a few bites of the pizza.

"Bella." Looking up at Billy, he had concern written all over his face. "Are you ok?" I was confused for awhile until I understood what Billy was asking. Wolf. That made me stop eating. I pushed my plate onto the lounge table.

"I don't know. It's not normal to turn into a... wolf. What's wrong with me?" I was almost into tears. My mood swings are going wild. Jake put his arm around my shoulders and Billy held onto my hand.

"Nothing. You're special." Billy's voice was smooth and calming.

"Special?"

"Yes. Everyone in this room is special." I felt Jacob bring me closer into him.

"How-w is everyone special?"

"The boys are like you. They can change." Change. The word seemed to echo in my head, repeating millions of times. Then I clicked.

"You mean change into a dog?" I guess it could happen. if I could do it, so can the guys. Billy laughed.

"Not a dog. A wolf." Wolf or Dog, they both say woof and have a tail.

"I have a tail." Everyone laughed at my stupid statement.

"Yes Bells, you have a tail." Even Billy was laughing. I'm getting sick of people laughing at me, it's not fun.

"Wait, how can we change into a wolf? What about the rest of the world? I've never heard of people turning wolf."

"Not the whole world can turn into shapeshifters- that's the real name for us, but we do have other tribes. We don't tell anyone about us, it's our secret."

"Does that mean I can't tell Uncle Charlie?" how the hell am I meant to keep something that big from him.

"There's no reason to panic. Charlie knows about us. His not a-

"Uncle Charlie isn't a wolf is he?"

"If you let finish me, Charlie isn't a wolf." I sat there confused. That doesn't make sense.

"How can I turn into a wolf than?" The room was deadly silence. Guess I'm not the only one who doesn't know.

"That's because you're my daughter." What? Hang on, did Billy just say 'my daughter'?

"How?" Paul had to make a smart ass comment.

"Oh come on Bells, Don't you know about the birds and the bees?" I didn't answer quick enough. "When two people love each very very much, they ta-

"Paul." Thank god Billy said something, I really didn't want to hear that information.

"So mum and you?"

"Things got complicated. Your mother and I were in a relationship when we found out about you. I was young and still changing. I imprinted on Jacobs mother. We tried to make the relationship work, but the pull of the imprint was to strong. We decide it would be best to just be friends. After you were born, she made sure that I got to see you. When Jacob was born, you two became the best of friends."

"So Jacob is my little brother?"

"Hey, I'm not little. I'm a good foot higher than you." All of them were around a foot taller even Collin, Brady and Seth.

"Why didn't I know you are my father?" That sounded strange called Billy my father.

"Your mother knew about the tribe secret. We both agreed on not telling you, we didn't want to bring you into this world. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to change." I nodded my head.

"And Uncle Charlie?"

"He accidently saw me change. His been with the tribe ever since." It makes sense, Uncle Charlie and Billy are best friends. Just like Jake and me.

"Back to the wolf things. Can you tell me more about it?" Tonight is an overload of new information, but I want to know more.

"Why don't I let the boys tell you about it and I'll get you some clothes." I looked down to see I was still in the Blanket Jake gave me. "Come on, you can change." I got up and followed Billy to Rachael room. I stood there waiting for Billy to come with clothes, none of Rachael's clothes fit me now. I could hear the guys in the lounge room. Paul was talking about me.

"Jake has a big sister that will whip his ass in fighting."

"Na, Bells might be my big sister but she won't be able to lose against these babies." I could picture Jake moving his arm muscles and showing off.

"Yeah right Jake." There was a silence before Paul spoke again. "She has a nice ass." There was a loud chorus of Pauls name been yelled and the sound of his head been hit.

Serves him right for thinking about me like that. A few minutes later Billy came in with some of Jakes clothes. "The clothes will be a big on you but it's better than nothing." Billy wheeled himself out of the room, closing the bedroom door behind him.

Jakes sweat pants were big on me, I rolled the waist of the pants up so they wouldn't fall down. The guys don't need to see my body anymore then they need to. I tied a knot in the shirt to make it fitted more, but not too much because I didn't have a bra. I was wearing one of jakes boxer shorts. I got a mental image of Jake having a wet dream in these boxers. Not really the best thing I want to think about. Shaking my head, I opened the door and walked to the lounge room. The guys were all spaced out in the small room.

"Where's Billy?" I didn't see him anywhere in the house. Seth came up and pulled me into a hug, mumbling the answer into my shoulder.

"His gone to Dads house." Ahhh, so Harry knows about it too. Sitting on the couch, I started playing with Seth's hair.

"Who else knows about um...?

"The tribe secret?"

"Yeah." Jared counted off the names on his fingers.

"Billy, Harry, Sue, Charlie, Leah, Emily, Claire, Kim and us." Why did they get told and not me? Why couldn't I get told the big secret?

"Why do they know?" I sounded a bit jealous and whinny when I asked. I guess Jared figure what I was thinking.

"You tell your imprint about being wolf. Billy and Harry use to change. Sue is Harrys imprint, Leah is Jakes imprint, Emily is Pauls imprint, Claire is Quils imprint and Kim is mine. The only reason they know is because they are our imprints." I'm so bloody confused.

"What the hell is an imprint?" Paul laughed at my frustration of outburst.

"Ahhh... An imprint is you're everything...

Jared didn't finish his sentence, he was looking dreamy off into space. There was a few laughs and groans about Jared. Jake continued.

"Don't worry about Jared his day dreaming about Kim again. An imprint is your world, your everything. You become whatever your imprint needs you to be, whether that's a protector, a lover or a friend. We are bound to that person, it's like your been pulled towards them and you can't live without her." I had a feeling that the end part was about Leah. "Having an imprint is the greatest thing in the world, you'll soon see." What the hell does he mean soon, I'm not imprinting anytime yet.

"Bella." Paul spoke to me in a serious voice, all the cockiness had gone. "The most important law between us wolves is, no wolf may kill a fellow wolfs imprintee. If that does happen there is no other choice than to fight to the death. So be careful. Oh it's also hell having an imprint because we can't even go one day without being in contact with them, hurts like hell for both the imprint and imprintee. Turns us into bloody pussy, as you can see with Jared." Paul finished the sentence with a joking matter, lighting everything up after the speech. It was Pauls warning about his imprint- Emily. Even Paul can be a big softy.

"Does everyone imprint?" Jake answered.

"Well, it's said to be uncommon but five of us have imprinted, so we don't know." Five have imprint?

"Who's imprinted?"

"Me, Paul, Jared, Quil and Sam." I felt a spark of jealous when I heard Sam's name, he imprinted on someone. I looked up at Sam and met his eyes. It hit me like a bus. It was like everything was dull- black and white and he was my sun. The only person in the room. I need to be closer to him. I never wanted to be away from him. I wanted to make him happy and do anything for him. He is so beautiful, everything about him is perfect. I couldn't take my eyes off him.

"That makes six wolves imprinted." I finally moved my eyes away from Sam and looked down at my lap. Did he just say six imprinted? Which means th-

"BELLA IMPRINTED!" Collin and Brady sang out at the same time, everyone laughed at their stupid games. I didn't laugh, I sat there between Jake and Brady. I can't imprint on Sam. He imprinted on someone else, which means I'll never have him. I felt my heart break, it was like I couldn't breathe. The idea of Sam loving someone else was killing me. My eyes were watering up. My Sam is someone else man. How can they be so happy about imprinting on someone? Imagining Sam kiss another girl made the tears fall from my eyes.

"Bella?" Oh god, why did he have to say my name. It should be legal for him to speak to me with so much care. A loud cry came from my lips. The room went quiet, I could feel everyone looking at me. I wanted to be alone. As fast as I could, I jumped up from the couch and ran to Rachael room. Locking the door and falling onto the bed. I could hear the guys outside in the hallway, I didn't want to listen. I wanted to be alone. I pulled the blanket over my head and stayed under the dark blanket, letting the tears fall. It hurt. It hurts so much. I curled up into a ball, trying to hold myself together. Paul was right, imprinting turns us into pussy. I heard eight pairs of feet walk back into the lounge room, there was only one left in the hallway. The person moved near my door, than slide down the wall and sat next to my door way. I could hear the person breathing harsh like me. Like the person was in pain or maybe having a heart attack. For some unknown reason, I felt better having that person sitting outside the door. But I was still hurting like crazy.

...

AN: I'm going to try and write another chapter this week. I was thinking maybe a small Sam POV? Just to see how Sam felt about the situation. What you think? Or just keep with Bella?

Anyway, what cha think?
