The weeks seemed to pass by in a flash. They all felt like a blur. My powers seemed to increase and grow, along with my relationship with Sam. Sam and I were going great. He was such a sweet and caring guy.

Of course, the pack was still curious about the vampire I killed in the woods. They had no idea who did it or what happened. Sam was nervous that something was out there, just waiting for the right time to attack.

I tried to convince Sam and the pack that it was nothing- they were all just being paranoid. Vampires seemed to be on high these past weeks, so every night I went out, trying to find them. I used my powers to weaken them. I didn't like killing them, but it seemed that I had to. I started to get worried because I haven't talked to Sam in a few days. The last thing he was telling me was about the vampires

Thursday night.

"So the guys and I were thinking of having another bonfire" Sam said.

"Oh yea?" I said while stirring the soup I was cooking for dinner.

"Yea, is tomorrow ok? I know its short notice, but I haven't been able to talk to you for a few days." Sam said apologetically.

"Yea, that sounds like fun!" I said not paying much attention.

"Cool, I can't wait. It feels like I haven't seen you in ages." He said miserably.

I laughed a little. "It hasn't been that long. But I would like to see you again soon." I said smiling into the phone.

We ended up talking for a little while longer, just catching up on some stuff, before Charlie got home. Over dinner Charlie and I talked about our plans. I told him all about the bon fire and that he was welcome to come. He politely refused and said he was going on a fishing trip with Billy. I nodded and told him to have fun if I didn't see him before he left.

After I finished cleaning the dishes, I headed back upstairs to finish some homework. I then decided to head out to the woods and workout. I ran about two miles in the forest and went back to the open meadow, where I fist met the red headed vampire.

I decided it was the perfect area to test my powers. It was a lot easier to test all my powers tonight because the guys didn't patrol tonight because everyone was exhausted. After I was finished, I started walking back.

I finally get to see Sam tomorrow. I just hope this bon fire will go better than the last one. I stopped dead in my tracks. Bon Fire. Crap. I made a promise to myself that I would tell the whole pack about my secret at the next bon fire. I took a deep breath in order to calm my nerves.

Maybe it will be ok. Maybe they will just accept me for who I am. I thought. I made it back home and looked around to make sure no one would see me before I jumped into my room from the window.

I showered and changed. I couldn't stop thinking about how they would react towards me. What do I say? Do I show them what I can do? As I was climbing into my bed, I thought about my mothers words. I will put them in danger. I shivered. But doesn't not know put them in more danger? I shook my head in order to try and gather my thoughts. My head was starting to hurt. I decided to let it go for the night and worry about it in the morning.

It was finally Friday. No school today because of some teacher work day. I couldn't seem to shake this weird feeling I was having when I woke up today. Everything seemed to feel off and like it was about to go wrong.

What I found most strange was that I woke up at about 1:30 in the afternoon. I decided to shake off the feeling, thinking it was just my imagination or my over analyzing last night. I thought maybe a nice warm shower and a little training would shake the feeling.

I worked on my basic powers, making sure they were as strong as I could keep them and decided it was enough for now. I then headed downstairs to the kitchen to make myself a sandwich for lunch.

After I ate I called Emily. The bon fire was at her house again so I called to see if she needed anymore help again.

"Hello?"

"Hey Em. It's Bella."

"Oh hey Bella!" Emily said.

"Hi Bella!" Paul and Quil yelled together after Emily said my name

"Hey Bells!" Jake shouted right after them

"Yo Bella!" Colin and Brady said.

I laughed. "Hey guys!" I said knowing they could hear me. I heard Jake grab the phone out of Emily's hands.

"Bells, where were you? I called you like 4 hours ago to see if you wanted to come over to Emily's." Jake said worried.

"Huh? You did? I don't see any…" I then looked to the counter to see a note from Charlie saying Jake called.

"Oops. Sorry Jake, I just found the note." I said guiltily

"It's ok. Hey, u wants come over now? I bet Emily wouldn't mind, right Em?" Jake said hopefully.

"No, not at all. Bella is always welcome here." I heard her say in a warm, kind voice in the background.

"Thanks Emily." I said a little louder, so her human ears could hear me.

"So what do ya say Bells? You comin' or what?" Jake said like he had ants in his pants.

"I don't know Jake, but can you put Emily back on the phone please, I wanted to talk to her about the bon fire tonight."

"Oh yea, sorry bells, hold on." Jake said as he handed the phone back to Emily.

Emily and I talked for a while, deciding what we needed and who would get it, etc. She said that she would pick up the groceries this time because I did it last time and she doesn't want me to go poor.

I just laughed and told her not to worry, but she insisted. We did decide that I would come over a few hours early to help her cook some pasta for dinner though. After all the food plans were sorted out, Jake came back on the phone

"so Bells, you still have a few hours before you have to get cooking, wanna come over?" he asked.

"I think i'm gunna pass Jake. I'm not feeling to well so i'm just gunna go lie down, ok? Sorry." I said.

"Oh. Are you ok Bells? Did you want me to come over? Maybe we should get you to the doctors." He said worried.

After the word 'doctor' everyone started talking at once, worried.

"Its ok, i'm ok. I just got a headache and stuff. No doctors, I will be fine. Nothing sleep cant fix." I said.

"Are you sure?" Jake asked one more time.

"I'm fine Jake; I will call you if I get worse." I said. "But Jake, just…don't tell Sam ok? I don't want him to leave work or get worried. Plus, if he was to leave work, he would just end up sitting somewhere while I slept or something."

"Bella." Jake said in a warning tone. "I can't lie to Sam."

"I'm not asking you to…I'm just…asking you to keep quite before the bonfire." I said sweetly. "Pleaseee Jake." I asked.

"Ughh, Bells….I will try ok? But I can't guarantee it."

"Jake. It's only for like 4 hours. Plus, Sam should still be at work for another 2. But thanks Jake. I will talk to you later. Love you!"

"Yea, yea. Love you too Bells."

I was too lazy to go upstairs to my bed so I just grabbed a blanket to lie down on the couch, and then fell asleep.

We were all laughing around the fire. All the sudden the pack stands up pushing all the girls, including me, behind them. I looked towards Sam and his face was serious while looking towards the woods. I grabbed his hand and he looked down at me, and then quickly looked back up. Something was in the woods. I used my power to see if I could hear anything. I could hear the leaves and branches crack on the forest floor. Someone was defiantly walking in the woods.

The sound was getting louder-they were getting closer and closer. All of the sudden the noise stopped and the whole pack growled. I looked up to see a man smiling right at me. James, the voice inside my head thought. I began to shake with fear and Sam's grip on my hand tightened. "Bella." James growled. Everyone quickly looked at me with curios eyes.

"J-James." I whispered while trying to push my way past Sam to fully see him. Sam glared at me and put an arm around my, holding my back. I looked at him and moved his hand away from me. I then stepped forward to look at him.

"What do you want James." I said keeping my voice steady.

"You." He said simply.

I took a deep breath. "Wh-what do you want with me?"

"Don't you see Bella?" he said, taking steps forward. The pack then crouched into a low stance and growled. I gave them all a look telling them 'do not change and stay there'. I could see that Sam didn't like this one bit but gave me a small nod.

"…you're my equal. You're one of the most powerful of our kind." I gulped. All the guys shot me curious looks. James must have caught their looks.

"Ahh, you didn't tell them about you, did you?" he assumed smirking.

"Well let me tell you…." James started. I then growled and crouched down, ready for an attack. James tilted his head and smirked.

"Bella, Bella, Bella." He tisked. "I knew you were strong...And...Feisty. But to hid the truth? Impressive."

I growled. "Enough!" "What the F**k do you want?!" I yelled. My patients had run out.

"You Bella, I want you. Come with me. We can be together forever. We can rule the world, and be one!"

Sam growled and I shot him a look. "Never James. I would never in a million years go with you. And unlike you, I try and save the world, not conquer it." I said disgusted.

James's face turned from a smirk to a firm hard line.

"I wasn't giving you a choice Bella. You will come with me."

"Didn't you hear me James? Never. N-E-V-E-R."

James's hands turned into fists. Watch out! My mind screamed. I looked to his fists and saw he was conjuring up electricity to shoot at me in his hands. Before I could blink the electricity hit me square in the chest, sending me flying backwards. I hit the table that held all the munchies. I then, all the sudden, felt a hand tighten on my throat. I looked up to see James in my face. "You will never get away from me Bella. Never." He said before I took my last gasp for breath and blackened out.

I woke up gasping for breath while putting a hand to my throat. I took my other hand and wiped the sweat off my forehead. It was just a dream-it wasn't real. I took a look at the clock to see that I was asleep for almost 3 hours, meaning, I had about an hour to get ready. I quickly tore the blanket off of myself and ran upstairs to shower.

The shower was nice and warm which loosened up my tense muscles. After I got out I put on some clothes. I couldn't stop thinking about the dream. It was so real, so vivid, I swore it happened.

I could hear my phone ring in the kitchen so I teleported there and answered my cell. It was Emily wondering where I was. I told her I fell asleep and I just finished getting ready, so I would be right there. She said that was fine and she would just start the pasta without me.

After I hung up with Emily, I quickly grabbed my car keys, wallet, and cell phone and headed out the door.
