While young Hannah slept, and Emmett kicked his shoes off to watch a movie on T.V.

The wolves of La Push came out to play::

"PASS IT!" Screamed John into Embry's head.

John was one of the youngest and newest member of the pack, aged fourteen.

It had been almost a month since he had first phased.

It all happened after he began changing, his physique:

He suddenly went from a scrawny teenager, to one who could well compete in body building, his attitude: Not quite that of Pauls rage, but it didn't take much for him to come close at times, his growth: taller then that of Embry, but not past Paul, and his family seemed to notice.

After his stepfather beat on his mother, John couldn't control himself, causing him to phase.

Afraid of what he had just become, he ran out the house, only to come back a week later.

Both his stepfather and mother feared him, and told him to never come back.

It was his alpha that found him, and took him into his home. Jacob Black, was not only his alpha, but also like an older brother.

"COMMUNICATION IS CHEATING!" roared the packs beta.

Paul had been ranked into the role after Jacob became the alpha.

Brady, also one of the other younger wolves, howled in agreement.

Embry finally tossed the round garbage can lid, like a Frisbee it spin in the air aiming towards John.

Paul ran towards it, only to collide against John, Embry laughed in his head, but it only came out in a hyena like howl.

Embry jumped over them, and dropped the lid at the goal line.

He phased back into his human form, and began doing a victory dance.

"YEEEEEEEAH!" He said now doing a rather lousy job at the robot.

Jacob laughed and smiled at Paul, who in turn just huffed at his loss.

But he knew this loss was to be expected, his head wasn't exactly in one of his favorite games, it was elsewhere.

As he turned away from his brothers, and began walking away on all four, he slowly started to stand up, as his hair receded back into his skin, and he was once again back to his human form.

He went to a tree stump they had just made from a collision, and sat on it.

With his arms heavily on his legs, his head drooped down, looking at the ground between his legs.

He could hear Embry still doing his victory dance. "Oh yeah, oh yeah, do the lawn mower, BUZZZZZ, do the sprinkler, TSST TSST TSSST-" Embry cheered himself on.

Jacob looked over at his brother, and noticed the change in his attitude, he wasn't upset over the loss. Usually by now, a few trees would have been casualties.

"You guys hungry?" Jacob asked the boys.

"You know it!" Said John.

"Go get some pizza, moneys in the candy bowl over the key drawer" Jacob said.

"Alright!" Brady said happily.

Jacob waited until they had all left, jogging pants, and shorts in hand, before he finally phased back.

He picked up his torn up jogging pants, and grabbed Paul's. Putting on his own jogging pants as he walked over to Paul. He threw Paul his.

"What's wrong?" Jacob asked him.

Paul snatched his pants off the ground, but didn't put them on, he continued to sit on the tree stump bare ass naked.

"I'm pretty sure you know what this is about." He said to Jacob.

"The kids in the diner?" Jacob asked.

Paul nodded, he began rubbing his neck, the bump of his scar interrupting the smoothness of his flesh.

It had never gone away, from that fight on the leech's property, about seventeen years ago.

"You saw it didn't you?" Paul said.

"That the girl looked so much like Bella when she was human? And the kid like the big leech?" he asked.

Paul nodded.

"But it can't be them." Paul said. "Right?"

"I know what your trying to say, but they were out in on a rainy, cloudy day. But how could they possibly be so controlled in so little time? They should be our age, or seventeen by now. That's how long its been now no? Seventeen?" Jacob asked Paul.

Paul nodded again.

Paul being this silent after a loss, was something Jacob was not used to seeing. But he had to be frankly honest, and say he liked it.

"But they couldn't be seventeen, that would mean they were aging like a regular person, remember Bella had them at a very quickly stage? That was because they were growing quickly." Jacob said.

" Maybe the doctor found a way to stop the age process, or maybe the genetic form of Bella kicked in." Paul suggested.

Jacob looked afar into the darkness of the woods, and shrugged.

"Do you still love her?" Paul asked.

"Bella?" Jacob asked

Paul nodded, although he knew the answer all to well, Jacob didn't have to say anything, he could feel Jacobs feelings.

Before Paul became beta, he wondered how Sam was able to keep his thoughts to himself, which Paul honestly did not complain to, the last thing he wanted to in vision in his head, was Sam having sex with Emily.

But after Jacob became an alpha, he noticed he couldn't see any of Jakes thoughts either.

It finally hit him that it was because his status in the pack, that he was able to over rule them from seeing his thoughts.

Paul, has tried practicing it, with better success then he thought he could. But still not satisfactory enough.

"I think you know the answer to that one." Jacob said.

"Even after all these years?" Paul asked. He stood up, and put his pants on, before sitting back down on the tree stump.

"You just don't understand it Paul, I love her as much, maybe even more then I did when we were best friends." Jacob said sitting on the grass.

"But she's one of them." Paul said glaring at Jacob.

"I know. But I miss her so much, you have no idea how hard it is for me know I can't even see her. It's been almost seventeen years since I have seen her, and it kills me. It kills me to not be able to see her. I know I can never be with her. But nothing will ever change the way I have felt for her." Jacob said.

Paul huffed.

"One day you'll understand. You still haven't loved a girl, but when you do. You will see." Jacob said.

"Bro please, I will never be tied down to a broad. And shut the hell up already, your starting to sound like a one yourself." Paul said getting up. "But back to earlier."

"I just don't see it possible. They can't be our age, and even if it was them, that means that the leeches turned them fully into one of them, which would mean they would not be this controlled already. And they didn't smell like them." Jacob said.

"Yeah, your probably right." Paul said.

He noticed that Jake was still lost in his thoughts, with Bella no doubt.

"Come on." Paul said, punching Jake lightly on the shoulder. "It's not like you imprinted on her"

Jacob smiled and punched Paul back. "If you only knew, how close to it, it feels."

"How would you know? You've never imprinted on anyone." Paul said.

"Shut up." Jacob said.

"Well its true, the only person we know that has ever imprinted, was Sam." Paul said.

"Shit, which reminds me. I have to take Emily to Port Angeles, she needs to go to her annual check up." Jacob said.

After Sam had passed away, Emily had spent her time in therapy. After she was released, she shocked everyone when she decided to get face surgery, to reconstruct her scarring the best she could.

She said she knew Sam had never forgiven himself for it, and that in memory of him, she would get her face done, so his burden could rest.

Emily knew her face would never look the same before Sam's accident, but it looked much better then it had.

"I'll take her." Paul said, he knew Jacob had things to do on the reservation. Jacob had said he sensed a new member in the pack brewing up. But he still couldn't find them.

"Are you sure?" Jacob asked him.

"Yeah, yeah, its cool. Gives me a chance to look around, while she's in her checkup." Paul said.

HANNAH'S POV

I woke up with the sky still the same shade as when I arrived home.

I yawned as I stretched. I looked over at my clock above my door, it read 6:30.

"Wow I took a three hour nap, but it feels like I slept forever." I said. I felt around and didn't find Seth.

I had told him I would take him out.

I turned towards the door, when it swung open.

"Yo! lazy ass, mom told me to wake you up. She said to come eat breakfast." Emmett said as he went to my mirror. He started to flex in front of it.

"Get out of my room." I said throwing my pillow at him.

He caught it, and before I could even move out the way.

He started attacking me with the pillow, hitting me at top speed.

I started screaming, telling him to stop.

"Teaches you… to hit… me… with it" He said between swings.

I started laughing, I could just imagine how this would look to anyone else.

"Ahhhh, Emmett stop it!" I screamed, still in my laughter.

When I finally managed to grab a hold of the pillow, I pulled it away from Emmett.

I stood up, my hair all over my face. I smiled at him wickedly.

"My turn." I said.

"Oh shit." He said with his eyes wide open.

I smacked him so hard he stumbled backwards. He hit hard against the wall

"So...." I said watching as Emmett stood back up. "…. What did mom make for dinner?"

"Dinner? You mean breakfast?" Emmett said crossing his arms.

"You don't eat breakfast at night stupid." I said now at the mirror, combing my hair with my fingers.

"That's cause its not night, stupid. Its 6:40 in the morning. You slept over twelve hours!" Emmett said.

"What?!" I said, "You're lying!"

Emmett started laughing. "Nope."

I didn't believe him, so I ran out my room, I could clearly smell bacon and sausage. I continued on my way down the stairs, into the kitchen.

Where sure enough, was my mom, dad, and grandpa waiting at the table. My aunt was flipping a pancake.

"Why didn't anyone wake me up? I still have to get ready." I asked.

Seth, who was also in the kitchen with my family, turned and ran to me when he saw me.

I picked him up, and allowed him to lick my chin.

"You still have twenty minutes." My aunt said.

"Well, while it may take you fifteen seconds to get ready, it takes me well beyond twenty minutes." I said a little angrily now.

"And you're wasting your minutes by arguing right now." My mom said smiling.

I gapped at them. "AH! Why didn't I get speed!?" I finished melodramatically; I turned and stormed up the stairs into the shower.

Although it normally does take me more then twenty minutes to get ready. I was not allowed my time.

Feeling overly self-conscious today, and like hell. Upset was not even the right word to describe my mood.

I was in the front seat next to my mom, who's driving was more less extreme then my fathers, but she was slowly getting there.

Then again, she didn't like to drive my dads Bugatti. She was used to driving her Mercedes- Benz Guardian.

"Emmett stop that!" I demanded. As Emmett tried playing with my hair.

"It looks like a bird nest." Emmett said poking my hair.

"Emmett." Mom warned him.

"I look horrible today." I said.

Emmett snorted.

I glared at him. "We're twins you know!?"

"I didn't say anything!" Emmett said defensively.

"Well this teaches you responsibility, you need to learn to wake up on your own." My mom said smiling at me.

"I don't even own a alarm clock." I said angrily. I had my arms crossed over the plain over sized white shirt I had, over my black Capri pants.

I know I was acting childish, but come one I was angry, people act stupid when they're angry.

As my mom came to a hault, I realized we were already at school.

I cringed when I saw Mayleen and her perfect friends. They were sitting by the schools entrance, done up was an understatement.

"Damn! Is Mayleen looking good." Emmett said, in the backseat.

I looked down at myself, and felt even worse.

My mom without a doubt noticed.

"Emmett, get to class, you sister will be out there soon." My mother said.

"See you later mom." Emmett said, as he kissed her on the cheek.

Once Emmett was out the car, my mom and I watched him for a little, as a few guys greeted him, I hadn't seen yesterday.

Even though they were outside, and with the noise all around. I could make out their conversation. They were talking about yesterday's event with his teacher.

"So who's Mayleen?" my mom asked.

I turned my gaze from Emmett, to Mayleen, who was staring at Emmett.

"The one in the middle, of the other girls by the stairs." I said. Looking forward of me now.
"The one with long dark hair?" my mom asked.

I nodded.
"They let you dress like this now?" She asked.

I snorted as she made it sound like one of those "Why back in my day." Tones.

"I have to go mom." I said ready to open the car door.

But I was held back, when I felt my moms grip on my arm.
"Look Hannah. I was never exactly a fashion goer when I was still… human… but I know times have changed. I know your growing up, and I know this is all new to you. I know high school can be tough, because I know high school kids can be tough." She said

I didn't need her to feel sorry for me.

"I'm fine mom." I said trying to pull away.

"Here." She said pulling out a wad of cash from her purse.

She handed it over to me. My eyes were wide. Its not that I have never seen this amount of money, its just what was she expecting me to do with it?

"After school, I want you to go out to Port Angeles with your brother, and get whatever you like." She said to me.

I didn't know if this was a test, or if she was serious.

I took the money slowly away from her. "How am I going to get there?" I asked her.

She smirked and drove away from the entrance of the school. She went around it, and parked close to gyms entrance, which faced the woods.

She turned the engine off. "She's all yours." She said.

I laughed in shock. "Are you serious?" I asked her

"Under one condition. That you be very careful." She said.

"I won't get hurt." I said, my dad, had told me all to well about her very past clumsiness.

She pulled the keys away from me.
"I was talking about the car." She said seriously, before breaking into her musical laughter.

"And you?" I asked her, taking the keys from her.

"Don't worry, it takes me less time to get home on foot, then by car" she said to me.

I wish I could say that school went by fast, but it didn't. I almost got kicked out of Mr. Ark's class again, for correcting him. I found out Emmett's first period teacher seriously had to be Mr. Arks wife or sister, because their attitudes were just about the same.

I had learned what we talked about in math class, when I was about eight years old. I was already speaking both fluent French, and Spanish by the time I was five. Astronomy was a breeze, I knew the study of celestial objects better, then I knew the very country I lived in. Both Emmett and I owned the gym court. I hate to say it, but really… this school was a joke.

Only good thing about it, was that I was finally able to be a normal teenager.

Once the final bell rang, I quickly found Emmett, who was just getting out of chemistry class with Mulan.

"Hey! How was class?" I asked them.

"Tough." Mulan said.

"A joke." Responded Emmett at the same time.

"Seriously, who the hell taught you guys? Your parents must have hired the most expensive tutors in the world. Which would explain why your dad looks so young, plastic surgery right? You guys must be like more loaded then my family." Mulan asked.

"Uh…" Emmett began. He looked at me for a save.

"So Mulan, Emmett and I are going to Port Angeles. Wanna come?" I asked her.

"We are?" Emmett asked. "How the hell are we getting there?"

"Yes we are, mom left me her car." I said, as we walked past other kids. A few of the guys looked at Emmett a bit timidly. As we reached the entrance of the school, I walked down the steps with Emmett and Mulan.

"Oh, I really wish I could, but I can't tonight. My family, we have this sort of tradition every Thursday. Where we have a big dinner with our family." Mulan said.

"Oh.. well maybe next time. Have fun." I said as I hugged her goodbye.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow okay?" She asked, as she waved goodbye.

"Smell ya later!" Emmett said.

He wrapped his arm around me. "So did mom give you cash?" He asked me.

I rolled my eyes. "I was planning on letting you buy yourself stuff too."

PAULS POV

Slowing my black Harley down, I waited patiently outside for Emily to come out.

No more then a minute later, she was already running towards me.

"PAUL!" She said wrapping her arms around me. She kissed me on the cheek.

If your thinking there is something going on here, then you're wrong.

Unlike the rest of us, Emily aged. Seventeen years ago she was only nineteen years old. Making her thirty- six now, but with the plastic surgery she has gotten, she didn't look that much older, then what we were. Not to mention she never seemed to lose her physique.

Although Jacob was our alpha, Emily took care of us all, she was like other mother,. She never re fell in love after Sam, she still loved him very much.

And even after all these years, she still wore the engagement ring, Sam had bought her.

I mounted off my bike, and hugged her.

"Emily." I said picking her off her feet.

She laughed. I put her down and looked at her face. I pushed her hair back, she was still covering the side she used to have scarred. Although they were not as profound as before, she still tends to cover it.

"Your beautiful." I said to her, kissing her cheek. "Ready?" I asked her, handing her my helmet.

She smiled up at me. "Ready." she said.

I mounted back on my bike, and waited until she put my helmet on, and sat down behind me.

She wrapped her arms around me, I kicked for the bike to turn on. And made my way to get to Port Angeles.

"You really don't mind waiting? It might be a while." She said, muffled by the helmet.

"I'll check stores out." I said to her.

Maybe I could buy her something for her birthday, which was coming up.

HANNAH'S POV

As soon as we got into town, I decided that I would first go and buy some clothes for myself, before I would go and buy that alarm clock.

"See you here in two hours?" Emmett asked.

"Sounds good, if not I know I will find you in a restaurant right?" I asked.

He winked at me and told me to take care of myself.

I watched him for a little, as he walked away smoothly. Getting the attention from a few girls.

I sighed. I knew I wasn't ugly, but I didn't feel as confident as Emmett did.

As I walked down the street, I passed by a boutique, it had a lot of the clothes my aunt would like.

As I opened the door, the bell attached to it dinged.

A woman at least in her late twenties, perhaps even early thirties looked up at me.

She gave me a look, almost as if saying, I was out of place here. I ignored it and proceeded to walk into the store.

"May I help you?" She asked me, stopping me.

"Oh.. No I'm just looking." I said to her.

She looked at me up and down. "I don't think there's anything for you here."

I looked around the store, I didn't understand what she meant. I was 5'8, a bit tall for a girl, but I didn't see how I couldn't find anything for me.

"Why not?" I asked her confused.

"I'm afraid I don't think you can… afford anything from here." She said looking at my clothes.

After she said that, I was utterly stunned, I didn't know what to say.

I couldn't believe she had just said that. I felt like slapping her across the face, but my thoughts were interrupted when the door opened again.

Emmett came in, the woman immediately changed her composure and greeted him.

"Hello there, welcome. How many I help you?" she asked.

He ignored her, and smiled at me.

"Yo sis, you forgot to give me some of the money." He said.

I looked at the lady before pulling out the huge wad of hundreds from my pocket.

The lady literally gasped out loud.

"Here." I said to him.

"Smell ya later." He said to me before. Leaving the store again.

After he left the woman cleared her throat.

"Well… I guess I will be taking my business else where." I said as I started walking to the door. Opening it.

"NO!" the lady screamed out loud. Actually making me jump.

"I mean… no. I'm sorry, I just had a misunderstanding." She said. Now smiling at me.

I rolled my eyes. "Miserable hag." I said before slamming the door shut behind me.

I sort of felt like I could cry, with how angry I was, I couldn't believe the nerve of that woman!

I was seriously upset, I started walking furiously angry, looking down at my shoes, until I finally reached another clothing store.

Stepping in, I was greeted by a younger lady, then the one at the other store.

"Good afternoon! Let me know if you need any help." She said smiling to me.

I smiled at her and thanked her.

Almost an hour and $375 dollars later, I was making my way to another store.

Not to far from the one I had just made some spendings at, was a lingerie store.

I bit down on my lip, as I argued with myself on going in or not.

I looked at the mannequin displayed by the window, with the beautiful white lacy nightdress. It was very short, not much to hide from the imagination, it had a long V cut at the front, that reached down to the mannequins belly button.

Only held in place with a small bow tie close to its breast.

I had been so distracted looking at it, that I had not realized there was someone inside looking at me.

Finally looking away from the nightdress, I met the eyes of…. the same guy from the diner.

My heart started pounding, as I turned around, and began walking away quickly, not looking back.

I could feel my face boiling in embarrassment, as I realized, he had seen me looking at lingerie.

And what the hell was he doing in a lingerie store? Maybe he worked there? Or maybe buying something for his girlfriend. I thought glumly.

Oh stop it Hannah, like It matter if he has a girlfriend. Its not like you could ever get a chance to even speaking to him.

But I had spoke to soon.

"Wait!" I heard a guys voice behind me.

I stopped as I turned around, to see the same guy jogging towards me, one of my bags in his hand.

Shit.I thought to myself. Out of all days, it's the day I looked worse then hell.

I looked down at my hands, and realized I must have dropped it outside the lingerie store.

"You dropped this." He said coming up to me.

Now that I was so close to him, I was able to realize, not just how good looking he actually was, and fit, but also how incredibly tall he was. He was darker then me, and much more built then Emmett. He looked like he was from Native descent.

I looked up at him, as I took my bag. I bite down on my lip.

"Thanks…" I said awkwardly.

"I've seen you before." He said.

"Is that a question?" I asked him, now looking away shyly, I looked around us instead.

"No… I guess not. My names Paul." He said.

Paul…I repeated his name in my head.

"Well Paul thank you very much." I said turning around to leave.

WHAT!? I know I know. HANNAH TALK TO HIM! But what do you expect? I had never really talked to a guy before. Especially one as cute as him.

"Wait." Paul said to me.

I turned to look at him.

But turned my gaze when I heard a girl's voice.

"There you are!" she said.

She was shorter then me, and just like him, was tan and seemed of Native descent as well. She had long black hair, I didn't really get to see her face, because her long dark hair framed around her face like a curtain.

What I did notice though, was the ring on her left hand.

Married… of course. I thought glum again.

I know its stupid, but I actually felt a little heart broken.

"Well thank you." I said to him, before walking away quickly towards a large store.

It had a large smiley face on its banner. I still needed to get an alarm clock, but I also really needed to get away from them.

I had noticed the girl turn to look at me, when I said thank you to him. But I didn't bother to look at her.

PAULS POV

"Who was that?" Emily asked teasing me. She tickled me.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out." I said. Rubbing the scar on my neck with my hand.
