I managed to pack all my belongings in two suitcases. Once I found that out I realised something.

I didn't want to come back when I get there.

Compared to my life now, it's a hell of a lot more interesting from what Sam, Seth and Embry had told me.

I arrived at the station with only minutes to spare. I found a spare seat on the train and fell asleep.

"NEXT STOP, FORKS" I awoke to the sound of the loud calling. I had slept for ages.

I had butterflies in my stomach for some reason. I knew it was irrational, but I couldn't shake it.

Once off the train I looked around. I saw the diner that Sam told me about. I boldly walked over to it. I pushed the door open to find a gentle song playing and a heavenly aroma in the air. No one looked around at me suspiciously, so I placed my bags next to the door. I saw a group of 3 tanned boys about my age. They were extremely tall and good looking. They were sitting at a wooden table. I took a deep breath and walked over to them. They all looked up at me.

'I'm looking for Sam?' I said questioned. One of one of them smiled.

'Yep, that's me. I'm guessing you're Bella?' asked Sam. I nodded.

'Well don't just stand there! Have a seat.' I sat next to the guy on the end.

'This is Embry Call, which I'm sure you remember.' He said.

'Yeah, it's nice to meet you in the flesh, so to speak.' We laughed as I leaned over and shook his hand. I felt so much more relaxed now. The guy next to me spoke.

'And I'm Jacob Black. You must be Isabella Marie Swan.' I shook his hand and said "Bella, please."

"Did you guy's notice the grip she has? Ow..." Jacob complained good naturedly. I bit my lip. I didn't realise I had a strong grip.

"Yeah, I noticed." Embry laughed as he clenched his fist and re-opened it.

"Sorry." I said smiling.

"Bella, are you hungry? I'm sure the ride was a long one." Sam said. I nodded my thanks and I stood up. I walked up to the counter and left the boys whispering to themselves.

"Whoa, so that's Bella... she's hot." Jacob said. The others nodded in agreement.

"I heard that!" I called to them. I turned to them just in time to see Sam crack him across the back of the head.

"Take that Jake." Embry said laughing.

"Don't forget, you all agreed with him." I said loudly. Sam leant back and shot me an amused look. I laughed with them.

I walked back with two plates of chips. The boys dug into the one I gave to them and I sunk my teeth into those on my plate.

"So, Bella, tell us something about yourself." Embry urged. I smiled weakly.

"There's not really much to say. I grew up in Phoenix, my mum died about 2 years ago, dad died shortly after in a house fire. I found out that my mum had an affair before I was born and I am probably the result. I've lived in my own apartment since they died. I don't really have many friends in Phoenix. I did have a boyfriend, but he called it off around midnight last night and that's the reason I changed. That's, ah, pretty much it." I finished with a sigh. They all looked pretty speechless. Jake put a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry about your parents." He said. Sam and Embry muttered their sympathy as well.

"Don't worry about it. It's all in the past now. I got over it. Mostly." I murmured. There was a slight pause.

"Bella, do you want to meet the rest of the pack? The rest of your brothers?" Sam suggested. I grinned.

"I'd love to." I said sincerely. They all smiled.

"Do you have much stuff?" Sam asked.

"That depends. Is two bags much? I was going to bring only one, but I found I could fit everything from my apartment in the second."

"Really? Huh, you not going back?" Jacob asked with surprise. I nodded.

"There's nothing for me there. Here I can start anew with my brothers, if they let me into the pack." I looked hopeful at Sam. He grinned.

"The moment you phased, you automatically became one of the pack. It'll be nice to have a sister. Don't have one, well, I didn't, anyway." I laughed.

"Yeah, I'm an only child." Embry looked puzzled.

"Guy's, does Bella look familiar to youse somehow? I just, I don't know. She just looks really familiar." Embry said. Jacob shrugged.

"Yeah, now that you mention it..." said Sam. I frowned. Okay... I thought to myself.

"Anyway, let's get going." Embry said. We all nodded. As I walked past the door I grabbed my bags. Jake took one from me.

"Allow me. Don't want you to strain yourself." He said grinning. He picked up the suitcase with two hands and frowned, the muscles in his arms bulged.

"Whoa, what have you got in here? This feels like a tonne of bricks." Bricks? Neither of my bags felt heavy to me. Now I really wanted to know what was in it to make it feel so heavy to him.

"Jake, can I have it? I just want to know why you think it's really heavy." He shrugged and held it out to me. I grabbed it in one hand and lifted it up onto a table. The table groaned beneath it. I unzipped it. It only had my shoes, lots of novels and university books, photo albums and jackets in it.

"Sorry Jacob, but I'm not sure why it seems any heavier to you. I think I'll carry them to wherever." I said. He shrugged.

"You can dump them in the car." I followed him out to the car. The others were waiting.

"What took you so long?" Sam asked.

"Jake was complaining that my bag was too heavy."

"So why have you still got two? Jake? Haven't you ever heard of gentlemen?" Embry said as he strolled over to be and plucked one from my hand with one arm. It immediately crashed down to the floor again.

"Careful! It's got my photos and books in it!" I sighed and picked them up, one in each hand and plonked them in the boot. Sam was looking at me, puzzled.

"Bella, do you think you can try and lift the car from the boot?" he said.

"Um, no. It must weigh a frickin tonne."

"Humour me." I huffed and reached under the boot for a handhold. Once I found one I lifted. And lifted. And lifted until it was level with my chest. I was shocked. I eased it down and then stepped back. I looked over to the guys. They were staring at me.

"I guess it's fair to say that Paul is no-longer the heavyweight champ in the pack." Cracked Jake. I was still in shock.

"um... Holy fuckin SHIT! How the hell did I just do that?" I gasped. Sam answered.

"I have no idea, maybe you're just a naturally strong wolf. It could also be something in your genes as well. If we find out who your father was, we might be able to find out why." I looked at him sharply.

"How do you know Charlie isn't my biological father?"

"Did he seem weird at all or seem to be something he's not?"

"..."

"I rest my case."
