Chapter 2:

I looked around to see if they had accidentally left a key but all I could see was darkness. And to top it off it hurt every time I moved to find something. The thing I was in suddenly stopped and I heard footsteps walk on the gravel. Someone blocked the moons light and grabbed both my shoulders and pulled me out of the thing and I was carried around somewhere. I heard voices coming near and I gasped as I was thrown into another hard wooden thing. When I moved I felt what I was in. Was I in a box? If I was, then it sure is a very crowded box. I heard more voices and agreements going on, when suddenly I was lifted out of the box and carried in some warm arms. "Just keep quiet for a minute okay? What's your name sweetheart?" a kind voice whispered. "B...B...Bella." I whispered. I shivered in the guy's arms and he quickened his pace. That night I learned who this guy was. His name was Dan who was 35 years old and he was the leader of his troupe of gypsies. He had a wife name Jill who was 34 years old, a daughter named Penny two years older than me 6 years old and a son named Jacob who was one year older than me 5 years old. I grew up with them and felt like I could stay there forever. When I turned 6 years old, my gift from them was two silver anklets with bells. They said that one of their friends went to India and got them just for me. I wore them always and every year I would get a charm to put on them. One charm I treasured the most was a little wooden wolf that Jacob gave me. It always reminded me of him, since he was a werewolf. I remember the day very well. We were walking by ourselves and he looked sick and his skin felt hot to the touch. asked him what was wrong, he snapped at me and poof he turned into a werewolf. I had fallen backwards so when he swipped at me, he left three long scratches on my arm. They are still there but have healed and left scars. Whenever Jacob sees them he feels bad, but I reasure him that i'm okay and he doesn't need to worry. He just smiles and sticks more close to me, just to make sure i'm protected. He had taken the role of protecting me from anything that came in a foot radius of me. It was kinda funny to watch him react to a squirrel in the bushes. Now I am 17 years old and my wings have grown since then. I haven't told any one about my wings except Jacob of course. I stumble out of bed after a dream with my heavenly family. I stretch and head for the shower, it was time to relax my muscles. After the nice shower, I got dressed into my black shirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes. When I went out of my room and out of the house I lived in I saw a group of boys talking. I look and see Jacob standing and talking with them. I smile and quietly walk down the stairs. I quietly walk half way to the group and when i'm in the center of the street I start running and I perfectly jump onto Jacob's back. I latch my arms around his neck and my legs wrap around his waist. He seemed to be expecting me to do this, but he still staggered foward and regained his balance. "Hi, Bella. Do you have to do this every morning? Or are you doing it just to get my attention? Cause its working." He joked. I laughed and kissed his neck. "No, I just like doing this to you! And why would I need to get your attention? You always give me your full attention when someone tells you i'm around." I giggled and quickly jumped off his back. He turned around and smiled at me and I smiled back, before I turned and started to walk away. "Wait up." He yells and I giggle silently and start running. I loved to run and make Jacob chase after me. It was one of the games he and I played if we were in a good mood and I was certainly in a good mood. I ran faster when I heard him catching up. Even though he has long legs, I can out run him any day. But today was not one of those days. I tripped over a rock and was about to meet my old friend the pavement when two warms arms caught me before my face could meet the ground. "Thanks." I sighed. I looked and saw it was Jacob and when he saw I was alright he sighed in relief. "Bella, you got to be more carful. Even though you can run, doesn't mean you can't trip." He smiled. I rolled my eyes. "Well, if I can't run and I can't walk straight for a second without tripping, what are my legs good for? I can't fly, so walking is going to have to do." I said. This time he rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Come on supergirl, lets go eat some breakfast." We loved to nickname eachother at the right kind of times and this counted. I nodded. "Ok wolfman, lets see you try and eat a whole cow for breakfast." He laughed and he wound his arm around my waist tugging me along to his house.
