Who's that? Everyone though simultaneously.
Good thing I wasn't the only one confused.
That's my brother, Alex. We had a fight a few years ago. He wasn't as good of a werewolf. We stopped talking and he said he would never come back to La Push. I would have to kill him to protect our people. So, why are you here? Sam asked again.
Why can we only hear his thoughts now? I asked, since Alex obviously wasn't going to answer Sam's question.
After I left La Push, I had left Sam's pack. It was only me and Sam back then, but when I left… My thoughts left too. I was done with Sam, and done protecting La Push. So I was all alone, I wasn't part of the pack. You guys can only hear my thoughts when I want you to, Alex explained.
You need to leave. Sam commanded him.
Sorry, bro. You aren't my alpha. I don't have to listen to you.
He was the first person I had ever heard talk to Sam like that. Even the people in La Push that didn't like him respected him. He did a lot for our town.
Sam, Bells is gonna be home soon. She asked me to pick her up when she got home. Want me to come over to your place after? I asked after there was a sort of silence. As silent as it could be with all of minds running.
Sam agreed after a bit of argument. I ran through the forest to my house, watching all the trees pass me. I didn't think I'd ever get used to this speed. It was great.
I was worried about Alex though. Sam said that he wasn't a good werewolf. I didn't know what that meant or what he did, but I knew that if he laid a finger on Bella… he'd have to deal with me.
"What's wrong? You haven't said a word since we left my house," Bella asked when we were about half way to La Push.
"Nothing's wrong, I just have a lot on my mind. Sam's brother came to town today and Sam said that he isn't exactly good," I explained.
"Sam has a brother?" She asked.
"I was surprised, too. Well, when I think back… I guess I remember Sam having a brother. It just never really clicked that he disappeared and that he would've been a werewolf too."
"But what do you mean he isn't good?"
"I don't know. He left a while ago, when the pack was just him and Sam. He wasn't a good werewolf, and Sam had to protect La Push from his own brother. That's when he left. He left the pack though, so we can't hear his thoughts unless he wants us to."
I could tell that Bella was a little nervous to meet him, especially after learning that he wasn't a good guy.
"I won't let him lay a finger on you, Bells. You don't even have to be in the same room as him. There's going to be a lot of people there. Maybe we can just run in, tell Sam that you feel uncomfortable, and then we can leave."
"I don't want to ruin all of you fun, Jake. Maybe I should just go home, I'm tired anyway."
"We're almost there. We won't be in there for more than five minutes, I promise. You won't ruin any of my fun."
We got to Sam's house in the next five minutes. I took Bella's hand as we walked in, trying to comfort her. I could hear the conversation inside thanks to my super hearing.
"Is that Bella girl his imprint?" Alex asked.
"No, she's his friend. She's my imprint," Embry defended.
"Wait, then why is he going?" Alex was confused.
"It's a long story that isn't any of your business," Embry growled at him.
We walked in just as Alex was about to say something.
"Hey Bella," Embry greeted her as we walked in.
Bella looked around carefully when she met the eyes of Alex. She froze.
"Bella, Bella," I shook her. "Are you okay?"
A sort of sob escaped her mouth, and soon she was shaking and crying. Alex looked at her, and then got a look of understanding.

"Bella, what's wrong?" I asked her. I couldn't decide whether I should comfort her, or if that would just make it worse.
After deciding that I probably shouldn't move closer to her, I looked at Alex. He was gaping at her in a sort of shock.
"What did you do?" I growled at him.
"I… I…" he said, almost looking afraid of me.
I grabbed his collar and shoved him into the wall.
"I asked you what you did to her!"
I heard a very small whisper behind me that I wish I hadn't heard.
"He's… He's the one, Jake."

We walked in the room. All of these guys were so huge and they scared me, even if I had met most of them before. I was going to try to keep cool though. I didn't want to ruin Jake's fun. It's all for Jake, I reminded myself.
I looked around the room trying to spot Sam's brother Alex. That's when I was met by those familiar eyes. Reminding myself that it was for Jake wasn't going to help me anymore.
I froze as a sob escaped my mouth and I started shaking. Tears were running down my eyes.
I heard the distant voices of people asking me if I was okay. I felt someone shaking me trying to get me to snap out of it. But I couldn't see, I couldn't hear. All I could do was think about those brown eyes, and that voice.
"You better not tell anyone what I looked like. If you do, I'll find you. You know what I'll do from there." His past words rang in my head.
It just made me cry harder and louder. I hadn't told anyone. Why was he back? I was just starting to get closer to Embry. I was just starting to be able to feel comfortable around Billy. Why did he come back for me? What was he going to do to me.
"Bella, I need you to talk to me. Tell me what's wrong so I can help you," I heard Jake calmly whisper in my ear. He was the only person that would be there for me. What if he hurt him? I wouldn't be able to bear it. I had to warn Jake. I had to warn him to leave and never come back. It wasn't safe to be around me.
"He's… He's the one, Jake," I whispered to him.
At that time, I didn't consider that everyone in the room would be able to hear my whisper.
"By the one, do you mean the guy that did this to you? Is he the guy that did this to you?" Jacob asked shaking. He was getting angrier and angrier every second. Honestly, it scared me.
I cowered into the wall.
"Oh God, I didn't mean to scare you Bella. I just…" he reached out a hand to me, but immediately brought it back to his side. "I'll be right back."
He walked away from me, towards him. I bent up my legs to my check and put my head on my knees, crying.

"You did this to her? You're the one that raped her and ruined her! I swear to God, I'll kill you," I growled at him. I pulled back my arm, and punched him square in the nose.
"I didn't know that she was his imprint! I didn't know that she knew you guys," he defended sounding scared of me.
"It doesn't matter! Why would you ever dream of doing that to anyone? She can barely be around anyone anymore, thanks to you! She's suffering while you just run around probably doing this to more innocent people! You deserve to be in jail; you deserve worse than jail!" I yelled as I punched him again.
"Jake, move. We can go tell Charlie, but don't do something you're going to regret. It's for Bella, she won't want you to have to go to jail for doing anything," Sam warned me.
"Bella," I breathed, forgetting that she was in the room. I ran over to her and tried to hug her but she cowered away from my grip.
"Bells, its Jake. I won't do anything to you. I'm sorry that I scared you before. I was just angry. I'm okay now though. We can turn Alex in and he won't ever lay a finger on you again," I told her.
"I can't. He said… He said he would hurt me if- if I told anyone," she whispered when she stopped crying long enough to talk.
"I won't let him come near you, Bella. I won't let him get away with this," I growled.
"Let me take you home and then I'll talk to Charlie. You don't have to say anything."
