"What made you think this was a good idea? You know the law of the land, Claire." An older man with a stern face whom I could only assume was Sam, Claire's uncle. "You disobeyed it and –"

"I did not! She is half-vampire, just like Renesmee, Uncle Sam." Claire looked worried but she was mustering up all the courage she could find to defend me. I was mad at her, but that did soften me a bit. "And she didn't know I was doing this! And she's not going to do anything, so leave her alone, Embry!"

I looked up at the grey wolf that was beside me, watching me closely. He hesitated for a second and then growled lightly as he retreated. He didn't stop watching me from a further distance, just like the other two wolves. So Embry was the grey one, he looked leaner, but taller than the other two. Claire had said he was the most reserved wolf in the pack and Jacob's beta. The other wolves were about the same height, but also looked bigger. One had dark, ashy-brown fur that almost looked gray while the other had reddish-brown fur with its limbs being slightly darker.

I reached for my left arm and they instantly became alert, the reddish-brown one even growled. I rolled my eyes and began massaging where Embry had pressed his paw down on me to hold me down. I looked around at the backyard, we had moved back there after getting Embry off to avoid being seen by the community since the woods surrounding the house were shielding the view. "I'm sorry, Sofia," I looked up at Claire to see her worried. "You're mad at me too, aren't you?"

I squinted my eyes at her, "No, I quite enjoy being attacked by wolves, you know." I said bitterly.

Right then, Embry grunted and nodded his head at Sam. "Alright, Jacob is on his way and he will decide what will be done." Sam sighed, "Just wait until Emily hears this, Claire."

"Why can't I just leave?" I asked confidently as he began to walk away. "You clearly don't want me here."

"No, but Jacob will decide along with the others whether they see you as a threat. If not, he might let you visit the reservation." Sam answered and looked down at me. God, he was very intimidating.

"If you think I would want to stay here after what just happened—"

"Please Sofia, don't leave me!" Claire grabbed my hand and I could see her get her puppy eyes ready. I was about to pull away when two men walked in from the forest. "Jacob! Quil!" Claire let go and ran to the shorter one and hugged him.

The taller and more muscular one walked straight to me and looked me over. "You don't seem like a dangerous one."

"I'm glad you have better judgement than your Beta." Embry snarled behind me, but I wasn't afraid. I felt in a strange way that I could trust Jacob. Claire had told me a lot about him and how he had joined forces with the Cullen's and began an alliance. For that, I respected him.

"Do you hunt humans? Or are you some vegetarian and hunt animals?" He asked. "Because we won't –"

"Neither," I interrupted him. His look of confusion as well as Quil's boosted my ego. "I consider myself and vegan and eat human food. May I leave now? I rather be out having fun than be here being interrogated."

"You may stay. For the night. Embry mentioned that you had plans on visiting the Cullen's tomorrow, right? Just know that your kind are typically not welcome here."

"She didn't know that," Claire walked over from Quil's side and tried to walk to me before being stopped by Jacob. "I invited her and never told her about the law of the land. And don't prevent me from being near her, Jacob! We have been alone many times and she has never done anything! You've harmed me more than her!"

"Don't worry, I'll leave and stay in Forks. I wouldn't have entered the territory if I had known the law." I turned to walk back to my car when I heard Claire run up behind me.

"Sofia, I'm so so sorry! I didn't think it would be like this. I—I was stupid and thought they would let you stay. You're right, I always get what I want and thought this would be the same." I could see the tears welling up and hugged her. "You were right, I am spoiled." She whispered.

"Stop," I said in Spanish. "Just because I can't come here doesn't mean we can't hang out. We'll have fun. They can't stop that." I leaned back and smiled. She nodded as she removed her tears and I kissed her forehead. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay? And I'll text you once I check in somewhere."
