Hey guys,

Well this really IS probably the last chapter you'll get for a day or two.

Anywho...The shit all hits the fan in this one and it leaves a lot of unanswered questions, y'know to make sure you all come back for more. And trust me at the end you might be like well, this seems like it could almost end, but it's no where near finished. It has a really sweet ending though. Now onto the goodies :).

Pictures are on my profile as usual.

Typo apologies. Like in the last chapter 'gos send' instead of 'god send'.

So basically, I'm just going to say, enjoy.

Much love,

Arianna Tala Cole.

AKA The author.

If only you were here,

Things would be more magical,

If I was there,

Right now would be more radical,

You're so not near,

I'm wishing I could place a call,

And feel closer to you,

Oh.

- Call 'N Return

-Hellogoodbye

I groaned when I woke up the next morning. Remembering the events of the previous night. God. This was going to be fun. They probably think I'm crazy. Then I remembered what day it was. I shook my head as I got up, took a shower and got dressed in a simple blue checkered shirt and some black skinny jeans. I put on my black high top converse that had bright green laces in the left foot and bright orange in the right. I put in my small blue stud earrings and decided today I'd put in my hoop that goes round the top bit of my right ear. Also I decided to put in my tongue bar, which had bright green ball on it, because otherwise it'd close up and then I went through loads of pain for nothing. Stupid Matt and his stupid dare.

I ran down the stairs in quite a jolly mood and into the kitchen, where, as always the boys were munching. I danced across the room to get my cereal humming Call 'N Return by Hellogoodbye which was stuck in my head and coincidentally was the beat I was dancing too. Everyone looked up staring at me. I generally didn't dance, or do anything to suggest I wasn't part of the living dead first thing in the morning.

"Why are you so happy?" Asked Paul looking up at me from his big plate of food.

"Aren't I allowed to be happy?" I replied, sweeping down into the seat next to him smiling.

"Erm…"

I laughed at his obvious confusion. I couldn't sit still for long I was tapping my foot and my fingers, even Sam was looking at me by this point. I got up and started dancing around the room again eating my cereal. All the boys especially, were flicking their eyes backwards and forwards to each other.

"No seriously," Paul said after ten minutes of this, "Why are you so happy?"

"Because." I said poking him on the nose.

He scrunched his nose up and moved his mouth around making his face look really silly when I did that.

"Because what?" Cut in Embry.

"Because today Joe is seventeen."

Everybody frowned and looked at Embry, who to be honest, looked kind of shocked but he shook it off.

"Why does that make YOU overly happy?" Asked Quil.

I sighed dramatically as if this was common knowledge and they should know this already.

"Because…" I said drawing out the word, "That means I'M seventeen tomorrow!" I was beaming. "And birthdays are always fun."

Everyone laughed a little, you know like when you let out that little puff of air type laugh, yeah that. I suppose it does sound quite funny. Especially coming from me. You'd expect me to be a bit of a pessimist but I liked birthdays, they were fun. Not the whole present thing, that made me feel all awkward, but the spending time with your friends part was fun.

I heard a horn honk outside.

"Awww!" I squealed. "They didn't!"

I ran outside and parked there was my baby. My bright red dodge charger 2006. I could of cried. And next to it was the Jeep. And obviously all the boys were leaning on said Jeep because if anyone leant on my car I would kill them.

"Ahahaha! MY CAR!" I screamed running to them. "You do realize you guys just re-defined the word cool right?"

"Don't we always honey?" Asked Joe messing about. I slapped him round the head lightly.

"You left me!" I accused.

"Again. I. CAN. NOT. HELP. WHEN. I. WAS. BORN. WOMAN!"

I laughed at him. "Are you coming inside?"

"Are we allowed?"

"Erm…two seconds."

I ran back into the house and skidded round the corner, comically having to hop on one foot to slow down and stop myself falling.

"They can come inside right Sam?"

"Uh huh." He nodded not looking up from the paper.

"Cool." I said giving everyone two thumbs up signs and running back outside.

"Yeah." I said stopping in the door frame.

The loped in after me. "So squirtalicious where to?" Asked Matt. He'd come up with that name when we were dating and it just seemed to stick because all the others called me squirt.

"Erm, do you want to say hi or would you like to see my room first?"

"Well it would be rude not to say hi." James said fairly.

Which was true although I knew none of them really wanted to say hi, maybe the groups would just be better separate but oh well.

We walked into the dining room. I knew my role now, I played it so many times, keep it short and sweet.

"Em, they're just saying hi, then I'm going to show them my room, then we're going to the beach okay?" I asked my sister knowing after the short 'hi's' a glaring match would be taking place.

I flicked my eyes to the table and confirmed my suspicions. Glaring. Kim suppressed a giggle when she saw me roll my eyes. I noticed that in my head I kept placing Kim in 'the guys' category but then again, she was always with Jared.

"Erm, sure, do you know where Embry lives?"

Embry, Embry….

"I think so…"

"Okay well get to his by twelve. It's his birthday too so his mum's having a barbeque."

"Can they come?" I asked motioning to the boys.

She nodded.

"Okay."

I skipped over to Embry plonked on his lap and placed a kiss on his cheek. Ignoring Paul on his other side who increased his grip on the table.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"It's your birthday."

"Right…"

"HEY!" Joe moaned, "I didn't get a kiss." He pouted and crossed his arms.

"Noooo…but you've got a gift silly."

He perked up and turned round to face me. "Oooh where is it? What is it?"

"In my room, on my bed. And you'll find out when you open it. Have some patience man!"

"Uh huh…and which one's your room again?"

"Second on the right."

"Second on the right. Got it." He raced off.

"Something tells me I should of seen that coming." I muttered.

"I CAN NOT believe you missed that." James replied.

There was a loud crash of cymbals and drums from upstairs, and an "I'm O.K." from Joe.

"If he's broken my drums…" I started when there was another loud crash…I winced.

"Now might be the right time to go and find out eh?" Asked Aj.

"Uh huh." I nodded and we all raced upstairs. You have no idea what damage Joe can do left alone.

I ran to the door frame and stopped. Joe was sitting in the middle of the room, looking like a man possessed, with blue wrapping paper with big shiny dark blue dots on, ripped to shreds and spread out around him, his new ipod sitting on his lap, and my drum set on the floor in the outer circle of his mess, battered, knocked over and dented. My prized drum set. My most perfect possession. Ruined.

"JOE!!" I screamed.

"Yah?" He answered in a happy voice looking up.

His smile slipped into an 'o' shape when he took in his realm of destruction.

"Heh, sorry?"

"Sorry?" I screeched. "That's what you've got! Sorry?" At this point one of my arms was thrown out to the side and my eyes were wide, I was breathing heavily, oh yeah, I was so loosing it.

"Eh…"

"Oh I'll make you sorry Joseph Joshua Call! I'll make you sorry."

I picked up one of the big busted cymbals. I had to move inside the room to do this so Joe moved towards the door.

"Now Tally…." He began putting up his hands as I stepped towards him, in a calm yet maniacal way. "Remember this was an accident."

"ACCIDENT?! OH YOU ARE SO FUCKING DEAD!" I screamed lunging at him. He skidded out of the door and down the hall, I followed him brandishing the cymbal.

By the time we reached the living room everyone was standing in front of the door watching to see what was going on.

"Tally…come on have mercy!"

"Mercy?" I said deathly calm, "You want mercy Joe?" He nodded. "Well do you know what your going to get?"

He shook his head and said in a meek yet hopeful voice, "Mercy?"

"No Joe. You. Are. Going. To." I paused for effect moving closer with every word. "BE BEATEN TO DEATH WITH A FUCKING DENTED CYMBAL!" I screamed lunging at him.

And knowing the danger of me with heavy objects, he screamed too and fell over so I was sitting astride him beating him with a cymbal. The most annoying thing, that made me even more aggressive was that I knew it would hurt him no more that if I was punching him my hardest if he were human. Everyone else of course did not know this. Aj, Matt and James were already in hysterics on the floor struggling to get up but everyone else looked genuinely worried I was beating him with a cymbal. At least I think so. I was too busy looking deranged, hair flying about wildly, eyes wide, beating Joe with a cymbal to notice.

I felt a strong, hot pair of arms wrap around my waist and pull me off Joe. I didn't even need to look to know it was Paul the familiar woodsy scent had wafted to my nose and, well, I just know the feel of his arms okay?

"Let me at him Paul. Let me fucking beat his ass with this damn cymbal." I said struggling to get away.

"How did she know it was Paul?" Jacob muttered. I snapped my head round to look at him.

"Err Jake, perhaps not the best time…" Seth said eyeing me warily.

Paul was still pulling me back he managed to flip me onto the sofa and pin me down.

"Let me go Paul."

"Let IT go Tally. It's dead." In my head a small girly voice crooned, 'He called me Tally' but I managed to shake the thought away.

"Paul."

"Tally."

"Fine." I huffed dropping the cymbal.

"Promise you won't attack anyone if I let you go?"

I nodded with my lips pursed. Mwahahaha! I would attack and he would never know!

"Now why don't I believe you?"

How the fuck did he know? Seriously, even my guys couldn't tell when I was lying over something like this.

"Fine. I promise." I said.

He slowly let go of me so I could sit upright, I sank down in the sofa crossed my arms and glared at Joe, who was sitting on the floor checking for damages.

He smirked at me because I couldn't hit him. I mean it was stupid because normally I still would of. Even though I don't brake promises a promise like that I would have broken at that smirk but no, I just couldn't brake a promise to Paul. And I had no idea why…

So I stuck my tongue out at him. As I pulled it back in I grabbed the top part of the tongue bar with my teeth, playing with it. I had this problem. Paul gave me a strange look.

"I didn't know you had your tongue pierced."

"Well I do." I snapped. It was still a bit of a sore subject. I saw Paul begin to shake slightly. I did not like to swallow my pride and apologize but for some reason I didn't want to make Paul angry today. I wasn't in the mood. I sighed.

"Sorry." I said. "Sore subject."

"Why?" He asked.

"Lets just say that was one of the best games of truth or dare EVER!" Matt cut in excitedly.

"Yeah never play with these two." James said to the room, motioning to me and Matt. "They're hardcore and they cover all loopholes."

"Yeah, actually," Aj said, "She got that done because Matt dared her to streak at a football game and she said if she did it he had to get his eyebrow pierced. So they did it and then when they were in the shop Matt dared her to get her tongue pierced. She had to because she couldn't do the forfeit."

"What was it?" Asked Quil.

"Do. Not. Tell. Them." I said.

"Well she could do it but she wouldn't." Joe joined in.

"So what was it?" Asked Embry.

"To get her bajingo pierced." Matt replied. I threw a cushion at him going bright red.

"There have been worse forfeits." I muttered.

"Like what?" Asked Jacob.

"Well once Joe had to drink a glass of water with Matt's pubic hair in or get his…erm…y'know pierced."

Everyone's eye's widened.

"So what'd he do?"

"Drunk it."

Kim heaved. "Eww!"

"You didn't have to watch it." I said shivering at the memory.

"Oh and there was the time Tally dared Aj to eat some earwax." James put in.

"Ergh…" Kim said, "Did he do it?"

"Yeah…It was that or get 'Property Of Tally, The Supreme Ruler Of All' tattooed on my butt."

Kim heaved again, "I don't even want to know where you got the earwax."

I laughed. "No, No you really don't."

Seth looked at the clock. It was quarter to twelve. "Whatta you say you go to the beach later and we get going now?" He asked.

"Alright." I said nodding. Everyone else seemed to agree. We stepped outside into the cool air.

"Woah, who's dodge?" Jacob asked admiringly.

"That is my baby and if you touch it I will personally string you up in the hall by your lower extremities." I replied running a finger over it admiringly as I passed.

Jacob who had put his hand out, went to put it forward, stopped again, shook his head, muttering 'no, no' and pulled it back.

"Decided it wasn't worth it hey Jake?" Quil muttered.

"Yeah man, she's already out for revenge as are we, we don't need her car thrown into the mix too."

"True." Embry replied leading us to his house which was actually just around the corner.

We walked into the house.

"Erm, Embry where's your toilet?" I asked.

"Upstairs to the left."

"Cool" I said heading upstairs. "You guys will get along while I'm gone."

A bored chorus of "Yes" came back to me.

"Good boys." I said patting Paul's head from the stairs before running up the last few.

I nearly bumped into a woman on the landing.

"Oh I'm sorry dear." Her melodic voice crooned.

"No, No it was my…" I looked up at her, "Fault…" I whispered the last word, shocked.

Standing in front of me was an exact replica of Aj, Matt, James and Joe's Aunt Louise.

"Is something wrong dear?" She asked her brow creasing.

"Er…Yeah I think your sons are downstairs."

"Embry, yes dear it's his birthday." She said frowning at me.

"No. Not Embry. Aj, Matt, James and Joe." I said.

Her eyes widened. "But you can't mean…there here…your sure?"

I nodded, "They don't know. Yet."

"Oh dear, do come and sit down. I have some explaining to do. You must help me."

I was pulled into her bedroom and allowed to use the toilet before she insisted on explaining herself.

"You see dear, when I had Aj, Matt and James, I was over the moon, the father was not so happy. He was married at the time. But we carried on seeing each other. He and his wife were going through a rough patch. Then Joe and Embry came along. Well Joe looked so much like him, I couldn't bring them all here like I planned but it would be too hard to leave Joe on his own. So I only brought Embry, hoping maybe the father would understand. He didn't, he left me, he left his wife, it was over. I couldn't support them on my own yet. So I couldn't bring them all back together. I have the money too now, but I've never really known how to do it. I need your help. I want them all back."

I tried to soak in all that information.

"Okay so why my help?"

"Embry mentioned you were close to a group of boys on the Mekkah rez he just didn't name them but now I know…I think it would be best."

"Okay. Just clear one thing up for me. Who's their dad?"

"Joshua. Joshua Uley, I didn't want to tell them, he wasn't the best father."

"So I've gathered."

"How about this Ms Call. I'll send them up and you tell them, while I tell everyone else. It'll be easier that way." She nodded.

I flounced down the stairs. Half dreading this.

"Err…guys as strange as this sounds trust me on it. Ms Call want's to see, Sam, Aj, Matt, James, Embry and Joe."

"Why?" Emily asked.

"When they've gone I'll explain"

All of the six Uleys, wow that was weird, left and I sat and explained to everyone else.

"Wow." Quil breathed.

"So what now?" Kim asked.

"Now," I paused. "We wait."

And wait we did. For a whole stinking hour. Eventually they came down looking happy if not a little confused.

"You knew!" Joe accused me.

"I had my suspicions, kind of. It was your mum that drove it home. Does she look like Aunt Lou or what?" I asked.

"Mmmmhummm." They nodded. I looked at all of them standing together, including Sam and Embry.

"You've all got the same eyes y'know." I said tilting my head to the side.

"How did we miss that?" Kim asked.

I shrugged. "So are you guys all good?" I asked.

"Yeah." Matt nodded. Sam nodded at Aj.

"Talla, we've got something to tell you." He said sitting down next to me.

"Don't freak out." joined in James, sitting on my other side.

"Yeah, it's just a little weird." Said Matt perching on the arm of the closet chair.

"And really it's not ALL that big of a deal." Joe finished.

By this point I had pulled my shoulders back, raised my eyebrows and widened my eyes a little.

"Don't tell me I'm you're long lost sister or cousin or something because no offence but," I looked at Matt thinking of our previous, er…intimacies and flicked my eyes from Emily to Sam, "Eww.."

Matt's eyes widened as he got my meaning.

"No, no. Oh thank god no."

I let out a breath of air and my shoulders dropped.

"Okay what?" I asked smiling.

"Erm…Right the thing is….these guys er….are…werewolves too."

I blinked. I blinked again.

"Well she doesn't seem like she's taking it too badly? Remember Kim and the lamp throwing incident?" Muttered Jacob.

"Wait for it." James muttered.

Everyone was watching me. I was just trying to take in the information. Werewolves, werewolves, the word kept swimming around my head but I could put no meaning to it. Until I remembered Paul getting angry, people not pushing him, once when I wound Matt up so much he ran into the garden and exploded. Shit.

"WHAT!" I screamed jumping behind Matt so I was on the other side of the room to Sam and that lot.

"And there it is." Aj muttered.

"What the hell do you mean their werewolves too?! What the hell is this world coming too?! I mean seriously, how can you all be fucking giant balls of fluff! Oh my god. I'm not safe! I'M GOING TO DIE!" I freaked out cowering behind Matt.

Everyone was looking a mixture of hurt and confused.

"But you're cowering behind a werewolf now." Kim pointed out fairly. I noticed Emily and Kim were still standing by them.

"Emily, Kim come this way, they could like, eat you." I said eyes wide, completely serious. Jared chuckled patting Paul on the back.

"Paul dude this so beats Kim's freak out." He laughed.

"But again you're hiding behind a werewolf Tally." Emily said.

I then realized her scars were not made by a bear.

"Oh my god. That wasn't a bear was it." I said banging my head on Matt's back. "How could I have missed that, am I really that stupid!" I muttered.

"Again you're hiding behind a werewolf." Seth said.

"Well yeah, but this is different, this is Matt he's completely stable…" I looked down where my top had ridden up and saw the beginning of the one long scar that stretched across my stomach from my right side heading left, up wards in a diagonal line, twisted round my back and ended up curving over my right shoulder, "Mostly."

"Well what makes you think we're any different?" Asked Quil.

"…" I shrugged calming down now.

"We'd never hurt you Tally." Paul said looking me in the eyes.

"But that's not true is it Paul?" I said calmly.

He clenched his jaw. "Intentionally."

I was still peering at him over the top of Matt's shoulder. I didn't want to believe him. I wanted to stay here, safely behind Matt for all eternity, but something told me I couldn't. I couldn't because of Paul. And I don't fucking know why. I moved out slowly from behind Matt and towards Paul, who despite his best efforts was shaking slightly, annoyed because I didn't trust him. I stopped in front of him and took a silent deep breath.

Placing my hands on his chest and looking into his eyes I said, "I know you wouldn't Paul, I trust you."

Well basically - The dares were all weird but real. They were taken from our games of dares over the years. The drum set thing actually happened but it was like a year ago now, this is getting my own back :).

I just wanted to let yo know basically that, next time you will find out what's happening with the boys and Tally and Paul will proably get a little closer. Then he's going to freak a bit I think because it's either the next chapter or the one after he'll find out about Tally and Matt and get all jelous. Also I've planned a big argument over that when they're actually together so :). FUN!

I hope you enjoyed this. I will try and find a picture of Embrys mum/ Aunt Louise and also Tally's drum set and car :).

Much love,

....
