A/N: Same as usual.

Chibs woke up the next day in the hospital to see Bella, Jax, Clay, and Gem waiting on him.

"He lives!" Jax exclaimed.

"Hey, it's about time, how do you feel?" Bella asked.

"Like hammered crap" Chibs answered.

"Yep, he's alright" Clay noted and looked away for a sec.

"What happened?".

"Well…it's kinda hard to explain" Jax scratched his head.

"Chibs, we hate to say it, but you're not exactly human anymore" Gem told him.

"Why? What's wrong? What happened?".

"Marcus…the Graveyard dominant male, he bit you, you started to change to a were-ringtail. Then Alice kinda stepped and bit you to add up to it all" Clay explained.

"Explains why the hell my shoulder hurts. Is Alice alright?".

Bella nodded. "She's fine, just worried about you".

"Bell…could you kinda go back and tell her I'm alright. I don't want my best bud to be worried about me".

Bella turned to Jax. "Will you guys be alright without me?".

"Yeah, we'll be okay".

"I'll be back" Bella walked out.

"What's gonna happen to me?" Chibs asked, "Am I a vampire now?".

"Nope. You're a hybrid. You can go out in the sun without everyone going "Ooo, shiny object". But every full moon, you're gonna change until you get more experienced with this" Clay answered.

"What then?".

'Then you'll be able to change at will. Until then…what you do is entirely up to you".

"What do you mean?".

"The Cullens think they know someone who can help you. Plus…man, I don't know if I should be the one telling you this, but Alice really wants you to come back with her. She digs you…a lot".

"I thought she was with Jasper" Chibs struggled to get up.

"Well…she was, but she really missed you, man. She didn't wanna leave Charming because she wanted to stay with you".

"Hm…I don't know what to say".

"We all know you like her, you're just too afraid to admit it yourself" Gem spoke her mind about the matter.

"Look, I gotta talk to her about this. I'll think about it".

A/N: Next chapter: Chibs and Alice have a heart to heart talk. Will he go with the Cullens or stay with the club in Charming? Keep reading to find out.
