-Nessie's POV

Dear diary,

I wouldn't actually mind being Jacob's. I mean, he is cute and funny- a bit over-protective, but who wouldn't want all that attention? Especially with those deep chocolate eyes always set on you… wow. I'm really confused though. I don't know how I can face him. Aunt Bella too. Mostly Uncle Edward. I'm afraid. They're all in more danger because of me. Well, technically. I think. As I said, I'm confused. Is it because of my situation? I didn't mean to cause anyone harm. I'm sure Uncle Edward doesn't like me getting close with Jacob… there must be something that they're not telling me.

Love,

Nessie.

My head hurts. I knew that there was some underlying thing with Jacob, and my aunt and uncle. But I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Was there some sort of history? I hope that it's over; I wouldn't want to be in some sort of emotional roller coaster with them. That would just be weird, and awkward… and weird.

Ugh! I shivered.

I heard panting somewhere in the forest and smelled Leah, Seth, Masaki and another vampire that I don't know, then there was Jacob. My heart was pounding by the time that they were on the front porch. I guess I've missed him that much- by him I so obviously mean Jacob.

-Bella's POV

I hate being 'unsupernatural'-well, not really. I just freak out a lot when someone- oh let's call her a pixie-like bubble of energy that I would so love to scream at right now- enters my room quite unexpectedly, through my window.

I mean, she almost gave me a freaking heart attack! There I was reading pride and prejudice in comfortable silence then- BAM! My window was shut followed by a female vampire- part of the freaking out was I thought that it was Victoria- jumping to my bed and covering my mouth- she probably saw that I'd scream at her.

"Bella! Bella! It's OK! It's just me, Alice! Remember the sister you never had?" she actually had the gall to smile. Ugh! More like the sister who I never want to have.

"Mmmn-mnnn! Mhf-mnnnn!" her granite-like hand was cold against my skin and-of course- my words would be muffled.

"I'm sorry what?" Alice says while removing her hand from my mouth.

"I said remove your hand from my mouth!" I said through gritted teeth.

"But I already did." She said nonchalantly.

I just looked at her with as much venom that I could muster.

"Death stares don't work on vampires." She laughed.

She told me about what she overheard in the forest and how she had to run to me quick because she just missed me so much. I scoffed and said that she just needed protection from Edward again. She 'hmpf-ed' and said "such a know-it-all Bella. You really are a child prodigy." Ah, sarcasm- not even lunch-time yet.

I'm sure Edward would arrive a bit later; Alice always arrives earlier than him.

-Seth's POV

I must admit, my goddess- though I really can't understand her- is unbelievably cute. Is this what imprinting feels like? I hear it's different from every wolf- err, man-boy-whatever. I hope it is, not knowing is the worst. I would say that Leah likes the blonde dude- the way that she looks at him is all gross and such. I chuckled.

My goddess was looking at me like I'm this great big puzzle and she's out to solve me. Flattering but makes me a bit uneasy, after all she's still a vampire. I wonder if she'll like me, I mean sure I'd learn Japanese for her, and maybe go everywhere she want to- I mean if she'd like me to. Hopefully.

-Leah's POV

Seth's being all stupid and gawking on what's-her-name. Ugh, I mean chill Seth, you're gonna scare her! My guy- I know he's really not mine… yet- looked pensive and beautiful and looking at me amused, like- wait what? Oh... I must've blushed a million shades of red because I heard him chuckle. I really hope that this is imprinting- I'd kill to have my life-long partner. I mean I'm the only wolf. And that's… I won't even go there. Think happy thoughts. Think happy thoughts…

-Nessie's POV

I'm guessing that this will not end well. Serving as a translator was ok, but I really don't like it if I'm always the bearer of bad news… I just know that Seth and Leah will not like me when I tell them what Shiko and Masaki-err have.

Surprisingly, I wasn't at all surprised about Leah and Seth's questions- I was just wondering why I didn't ask Masaki the questions in the first place. Must be because I really don't think of him that way… maybe.

I decided that it would be simultaneous- I know, not the best choice, but at least effective.

First to ask was Leah, then Seth, and then of course Masaki and Shiko had questions of their own. Basically, Seth and Leah got dumped even before they could say that they liked Shiko and Masaki. Turns out they were both with significant others, uhm, married.

Obviously Leah and Seth were sad but they hid it well. I guess they'll hate me now.

-Leah's POV

I guess that it wasn't imprinting, because I really am not supposed to feel hurt, angry or jealous that they had the love of their lives, wasn't I? I mean the whole point of imprinting was to be whatever the one you imprinted on wants you to be, right? But I'm so angry that this wasn't it! What am I? Some godforsaken abnormality? A freak? A freaking' mistake of nature? I wanted to cry, to wail, and to smash stuff- but I knew that I had to keep control because they'll all be in a lot of danger and besides, I really had no right to feel this way- especially to Masaki who simply didn't know. Nessie looks uncomfortable though, she might think that I'm angry at her- which in fact, I'm not. It's not her fault- its nobody's fault that I'm a biological dead end.

I motioned for Nessie to walk with me. We walked to the beach and I told her everything, from Sam and Emily- we all know that story- their honeymoon, how I'm a biological dead end, how I can't help but be bitter, how difficult it is to be me and most of all, how it's never going to be her fault that Masaki was already married- I mean, the girl is absolutely like Bella! Blaming everything on herself! No wonder why Jacob's enamored with her.

Walking back towards the black's residence, I could hear the booming laughter of Seth. I guess he figured it out- maybe even faster than I did. He's a gifted boy, but annoying to hell most of the time. Basically by the end of the day, we were having the time of our lives. The Cullen's came over, Shiko and Masaki told tales of wonder from Japan- translated by Nessie of course- the pack came to wolf-down the food (haha!) and I had the feeling of temporary happiness. Yet I can't keep dreaming of the day when I'll finally meet the one who was always meant for me.

This get together was also great for taking our minds off of Victoria. I mean- is just me or is the witch all talk but no show? I scoffed and drank the last of my cola then tuned in on what the rest were doing for fun. I can't help but wish that the night wouldn't end…
