the next week passed by mostly uneventful everyday after school I would come home Bella would rant about Edward then I would leave to see the wolf in the woods until it was time for dinner I decided the Bella shouldnt be the only one to cook for me and Charlie to I decided to chip in a bit, Bella and I would alternate cooking days and she also taught me new recipes. Charlie finally got the spare bedroom fixed up and cleaned out and I moved my stuff in there.

I woke up one morning to find that it was strangely bright outside, I looked out the window to see snow hideously disgusting snow. I really don't like snow. I groaned and got dressed in a pair of black cargo pants and a long sleeve black shirt with my black disturbed hoodie and a black beanie with skulls on it. I go down stairs and grab a pop tart and head out the door Bella is already waiting in the tuck I get in and we head off. one thing I have seen that Bella and i have in common is our hate of snow, the difference is she hates all things wet and cold I just hate snow I love the rainyness of forks. we get to the school and get out of the car Bella gets distracted by that Edward guy staring at her I find I creepy so from the other side of the truck I watch all of a sudden there is a screeching sound and I don't have time to see what is happening. im too busy watching Edward he gets a panicked look on his face and rushes and I mean rushes so fast he is all but a blur, towards Bella then all you hear is a crunch I go around the back of the truck to see Tyler Crowley in his van knocked out and Bella and Edward on the ground with Edwards hand on Tyler's van denting it. someone calls out for an ambulance and I rush to Bella, glaring at Edward I say "thank you but I've got it from here take the dent out of the van then get back to your family wouldn't want people to get suspicious." he looks and me startled then blurs away.

now I know what it is about him that I found odd because know I know what he is. i ran across two of his kind before but their eyes were red and they werent pretending to be in high school. i came across them at a time im my life when i really needed a shoulder to cry on. they were one of the few bright spots.

so bella gets taken to the hospital and i request to go with charlie okays it with the school and ambulance. when we get there dr. cullen takes a look and bella starts in with the questions, cullen plays it off as if she merely bumped her head but i know that she didnt, i also know the truth. "bells dr hottie isnt going to tell you anything but just you wait all will be revealed in time i say cripticly" she looks at me and nods knowing that i know more than she does on this subject.

we get a free day out of school bella with her injury and me in the guise of taking care of her while charlie is at work."ok ari what was with the cryptic in there what do you know." bella asks the moment we get home.

"well first lets review all the weird things about edward and his family then see if you cant guess." i say while getting a pen and paper, giving in and telling is never as much fun as making people guess.

"ok so when i met him it was biology class i went to sit down next to him and he glared at me and moved as far away from me as the table would allow-" she starts before i inturrupt her. "did you walk past anything look at him funny?" i ask "well there was a fan blowing i walked past it then he glared."

"ok good what else." i say jotting that down. "well at one pont it looked like he was trying not to breathe like i smelled bad or something." i giggle at that and she looks confused. "ok what next." well your first day he was back at school and he was talking to me adn his eyes started out being gold and when i looked at them again they looked black but i looked again ang they were back to gold. he said it was the florecent lights when i asked but then i looked at his siblings and they claim to be adopted but why would they have they exact same eye color?" she asks. i jott all of that down and ask her for the next thing "then today with the van i swear he was no where near me ari he was with his family then he is next to me and he put a dent in the van with his hand. and when ever it is sunny he and his family take off from school to go hunting even alice and rosalie."

"ok so what we have so far is he is sensitive to smell he doesnt have to breathe his eyes change colors his entire adoptive family has they same color of eyes though they arent related exept for jasper and rosalie he is super fast and super strong and they dont show their faces in the sun." i say summing it up.

"god that makes it sound like they are vampires." she says laughing

"ding ding ding we have a winner and here is your prize.. seems as if the emo vamp is really into you otherwise he wouldnt have saved your life."

"what do you mean are you serious they really are vampires? and how the hell does him saving me mean he likes me. maybe he just didnt want to be tempeted by my blood ruining the families cover." she says

"oh bella bella bella what if someone other than you me and his famliy saw his display of speed and strength today dont you think that that would ruin their cover? he could have let the bus hit you and drained every single one of those people including me."

"but he doesnt seem like he liked me it seems like he hates me"

"sweety he probably hates that he wants to drain you... oh find out if he has a power and what it is."

"a power what do you mean a power? and when am i supposed to find this out?"

"i mean a power um like telekinesis empathy oh fire balls auras or just knowing shit and you find out tomorrow at school when you tell him you know what he is."

"that is so cool are you crazy why the hell would i tell a vampire who can kill me that i know what he is and by the way how do you know this shit."

"i met a couple of human drinking vampires once cant say who they are apparently its a big no no to tell humans about them. anyways you can ask him because one he likes you enough to save you so you might me his mate and two he isnt a human drinker his eyes are gold if he drank from humans his eyes would be red."

"holy shit so if he doesnt drink from humans then what does he- oh oh haha hunting vegitarians haha so funny i get it now" she says cracking up.

"oh yeah its hilarious. now when you see him tomorrow ask him do it under your breath he has super hearing so you dont have to worry about someone over hearing. ok now that we have that covered ive got to go im late.

"late where is it that you always run off to til dinner time?"

"oh um well they day i got here i roamed the forest and fan into this silver wolf-"

"what a wolf are you ok?"

"yes yes im perfectly fine thought the wolf is very smart and playful and we meet everyday at this time. he doesnt know that i know this but i know he isnt always a wolf. he is a shapeshifter from the reservation before yu ask how i know i did my research on the Quilute legends a little hint generally legends hold more truth than anyone realizes." and with that i walk out the door and into the woods. though i know that my wolf is really a man but im not ready too meet the man yet i think he knows that. i wouldnt know how to act in front of the man.

so I roam a little going a different direction than normal and end up in another little clearing it is so peaceful. I look across and I am expecting to see my wolf pop out at any moment . instead what I see is jasper stepping out of the trees on the opposite side of me. as he comes closer I notice that his eyes are black. he is hungry. as he reaches the middle of the clearing I see y silver wolf step out of the trees as well. I have to get jasper to turn around I can not let him die because I was stupid enough to get down wind while he was hunting "jasper you need to go back the other way I know that you are hungry and in the middle of a hunt and I must smell pretty damn good to you right about now but trust me you do not want to take a bite out of this, not if it means never getting to see alice again." the moment I mention alice he growls and he doesn't look so bent on killing me anymore. "that's right have to get home to alice right jasper no need to take a bite out of lil old me and have that ginormous shapeshifter behind you attack right?" I say hoping to fully pull him out of his hunt. it does the trick, he looks behind him and sees my wold growling at him itching to leap and take a bite.

jasper whips back to me and says with an apologetic look "im so sorry Arianna i was hunting and you just smelled good my guard was down thank you for talking me down i don't know what would have happened to alice if i had attacked. by the way how do you know what i am?"

oh shit busted i think as i see my wolf moving closer with the same curious look on his face that jasper has. "oh um well its a long story but i cant give any names but i met two vampires once a few years ago and i am very observant you can thank Edward that i recognized what your family is by the way thank him for saving bella i know it wasn't just done so that you guys wouldn't be exposed he cares for her but let him know that if he hurts her in any way whether it be draining her or just an old fashioned heart break that i keep a zippo on me at all times. oh and don't let him know that bella knows k she figured it out mostly n her own. so have a good day i have some splainin to do with my wolfy friend here bye." i say and hurry over to my wolf who is giving me a glare that if i didn't know him so well id be terrified.

i notice that he is growling at me so i say "oh hush you one i know jasper he only eats animals... ok well considering your a wolf sometimes i gather that isn't too comforting but you know what i mean im fine i talked him out of it i can be very persuasive you know and then i assume part of the growlng comes form the fact that i basically gave the emo vamp permission to date my foster sister but hey to each her own right as long as he doesn't break her heart or other valuable parts of her person i see no reason to worry too much. and the other growling that is getting louder by the minute is probably cuz i know that your not just a wolf and haven't sked to see your human side. well to be honest i deal with animals a hell of a lot better than i deal with people." then the growling stops and he gives my those damn sad puppy dog eyes you know the ones that you cant resist because they are so damn cute. "oh that is so not fair you have an advantage your a wolf you have sad puppy eyes perfected cheater... oh fine if you feel that strongly about it then go ahead and show me your human. i can already tell hes gonna be a jack ass.' my wolf just gives a shit eating grin and runs off behind the trees.

a moment later he comes back he is a tall native he is wearing just a pair of cut off jeans he is tall want musculare and had an eight pack set of abs i bet you could bounce a nickel off those things. and he has a tribal tattoo on his upper arm. oh my god i think this man was created for the sole purpose to make me shiver in delight. i am brought out of my stupor by a chuckle. "you know its not polite to interrupt when someone is oogling you just sit back and take it like a man." i say

"oh baby you can oogle all you want i don't mind one bit but you might want to wipe the drool." he says with a cocky grin

i reach for my lip and sure enough there is a little bit of drool. "hey can you really blame a girl i mean you are smoking hot.

"im paul and you and i have so much to talk about.
