Hi everyone thank you for hanging on. Here the continuation. I know it is slow coming but I am still in the process of moving in so you'll have to be patient for a while yet.

Thank you for the reviews I appreciate them a lot.

Jacob Black, the pack, and Surprises

Jacob pointed. "That is my nephew William or Billy. He is Paul and Rebecca's." Billy waved at me with a grin on his face. "This is Quil and Claire's son Robert or Rob." Rob waved and said: " Great to finally meet the legend." Jacob continued with an air of great pleasure "And last but not least Sue and Charlie Swans son and your and Seth's half-brother Taylor.

I looked at him wide eyed and surprised. "Hey Bells. Nice to finally meet my legendary Sister."

Family and stories

Now it was my turn to look dumb-struck. I pulled out of the others Embrace and walked towards my half-brother. He had the russet skin and black hair of the Quileute. And slightly tilted eyes. But other than that I could see Charlie in his features.

I was overwhelmed at the thought of having a family again and was unable to contain my emotions. Tears spilled from my eyes and I walked towards my brother. And hugged him. He was warm and tall like all the boys. He returned the hug. I could practically feel his love. With a very watery smile I spoke "My Brother."

He smiled and stroked my face. "Damn Sis you look exactly like in Jacobs memories. How did you get re-incarnated looking exactly the same? And what Name do you go by anyway?"

I smiled.

I looked around. "I have a long story to tell. Let's sit down somewhere and I will give you a quick overview.

We went to the kitchen. It was a little cramped but we managed.

And I gave them a quick overview of my story and demonstrated my immortality by piercing a knife through my hand. I explained how I came to be immortal and showed them The Scar. The bite from James. I told them what happened after my first death. And how they were able to bury me. I told them of Duncan and Adam. Of Amanda, Cassandra and Richie. I told them of the Game, of the Rules. I told them of my training. And I told them that immortals cannot have children. Which is true. I just failed to mentioned I was the exception. I left out the darkest parts. Like me being tortured and worse by one of Duncan's enemies. Or me killing those men in cold blood afterwards. Or my little killing spree of confirmed rapists that had been released from prison afterwards. I was in the newspapers about 35 years ago. I had murdered 27 men after confirming they were indeed guilty. I did so through The Voice by commanding they tell me the truth. By those that hated rapists as much as I did I was heralded as a hero. By those that didn't I was just a vigilante serial murderer. Adam caught up with me and had brought me to my senses. I did, however tell them that I had been challenged and therefore had taken several heads.

"You beheaded your challengers?" Jake asked me in a whisper, looking at me like he didn't approve.

I looked at him with narrowed eyes: "It is the way of Immortals. No one can escape the game. And once the challenge was made I had to fight. It was me or them." I looked around to impress upon everybody what I'd said. "It was me or them, and I liked me better." I looked downward and put on a hurt puppy dog look, filling my eyes just a bit with unshed tears, then I looked back up at them and then Jake. "Aren't you glad?" I said with a small voice. "Aren't you happy I am alive?" I let a small tear Roll down my cheek for effect. "I only fight when I am challenged, I only fight to defend myself." I let another tear Roll down. Then I looked down again I changed my expression to one of accusatory anger and in a quiet, dangerous but serious voice I added "What would you have me do Jake? To just let the next best challenger behead me? No way in hell. I will fight if attacked or challenged. I am not the weak naive little girl you once knew. I am Ellanore McLeod a warrior, of the Clan McLeod, I will fight and live in honor and die with honor if I must."

"Damn Sis no one told me you were that cool!" Taylor said.

I laughed and wiped away the tears. The others laughed, too and just like that the tension was broken.

"How old are you anyway Baby-Brother?" I asked Taylor.

"Hey I resent that, I'm not a baby." He chuckled. "Well I'm 54. I was born 2 years after your funeral. And you Sis?"

"Surely you can do the math. I am 73."

All in all they were all a bit angry that I let them think I was dead. But I told them I had needed that time off, to be someone else. To become the fighter, the warrior I am now.

They asked me how old Duncan and Adam were.

"Well Duncan was born in the early 16hundreds in the highlands of Scotland so he is about 450 years old. And Adam, well I am not allowed to tell his age but let me put it this way Adam makes Duncan look like spring chicken." I smiled quite enjoying their reactions.

They were stunned as they contemplated Adams probable age.

I continued, serious now "I regret hurting you with my decision. I really do. But I do not regret the decision itself. I am a different person now. And I do not want go back to being who and what I was. I could not, even if I wanted to. Too much has happened to me."

"We probably wouldn't be buddy's with the Cullens if you hadn't died." Taylor said.

"Excuse me?" I asked astounded.

Then I learned that there was a new treaty. Apparently Victoria did give up for a while but wanted to inflict as much pain on Edward as possible. She created a newborn army to kill his family. Alice foresaw this and the Cullens fought side by side with the werewolves and they destroyed the army. Unfortunately they were unable to kill Victoria. But since Alice quit seeing her about 20 years ago they hoped she was dead. After the battle there seemed to be strange kinship between the pack and the Cullens. Apparently if there was a newborn threat anywhere on the continent of America and the Cullens were unable to teach the newborns the rules the pack and the Cullens would hunt them down. So far it had happened only twice. The Cullens did not want the Volturi to get suspicious, so they tried to teach the newborns as much as they could. And they succeeded most of the time. Apparently there where now two more covens like the Cullens. That only drunk Animal blood. What surprised me most, that there was a baseball game now every few weeks Vamps vs. Wolves.

When I confirmed Victoria was indeed dead and by my hand they looked at me disbelievingly, so I demonstrated my power of The Voice and my molecular manipulation by turning water to an ice-statue resembling a wolf. I thought for a moment if I should reveal I could turn myself into a cat but decided against it. They would probably ruin my plans at it was.

Jacob asked. "Bella do the Cullens know you are here?"

I paused and then answered. "In a way" he looked at me confused.

I elaborated. "I'm at Forks high-school. And I met them all. But I didn't tell them what I told you. They know me as Ellanore 'Ella' McCleod. They think I am my re-incarnation. I don't want them to know. I want to punish them, most of all Edward. They were my family and they left me. Abandoned me. I have been very unfriendly to Edward. I want him and them to know that this time around I will not allow my decisions being made for me. I want them to know I am their equal. And then, when they have learnt that I will reveal myself. I originally considered keeping you in the dark as well Jacob." I smiled apologetically. "But then I couldn't, you did nothing wrong Jacob. It is them I want to teach a lesson."

I paused and contemplated their reactions. "I guess my plan is shot to hell now. Edward will hear your thoughts and know. And I can't be with you to shield you all the time."

"Shield?" Billy asked.

"Uh well I have the ability to shield myself and others from being affected by mind related powers like Telepathy. But I also have another shield, that I however am unable to spread to others. Jasper cannot affect my emotions anymore and he only feels from me what I allow him to feel."

"Cool!" Rob said. "Maybe you can do that shield thing at our next baseball match. We can see how well the vamps do if they don't know what we are planning."

"Uh…"

Jacob held up his hand to convey to the others they should be quiet. He looked at me with a serious gaze.

"Bella I understand your reasoning. But you should have seen the Cullens without you. They were all very torn up and sad. Edward especially. Before our extended treaty I probably would have agreed with you. But they are really miserable because they blame themselves for your suicide. Again Edward especially is depressing to be around. You hurt them just as much as you hurt me."

I was about to protest. But he held up his hand and silenced me. "I am just stating a fact not accusing or judging you. What is done is done. Also Edward and I came to the agreement to let you decide who you wanted. But I guess it never really was a competition huh? It was always him?" he paused and shook his head. "I can't say that it surprises me though, he explained what it is like for a vampire to find their mate. It sounded an awful lot like imprinting."

I listened attentively. And then I took both his hands in mine. I closed my eyes took a deep breath and searched his future. I opened my eyes unseeing. Richie had told me my eyes were a creepy all white when I did this. I glimpsed a small girl with bronze hair. She was running and giggling. And she passed a calendar dated less than a year from now. I closed my eyes again and released Jacobs hands. I looked at him directly again. And then noticed everybody's expressions. Which ranged from scared to wow.

I looked Jacob in the eyes and stated. "Jacob your imprint is less than a year away. But she is still young so I guess you'll have to be patient." I smiled.

He rolled his eyes. "You're a psychic now too? Great… And when were you gonna mention that?"

"Oh just slipped my mind." I answered lightly.

"Riight anything else? Can you fly, too?" Jacob asked sarcastically.

"Sure I can." I paused waiting for everybodys wide eyed reaction and then continued. "In an air-plane like everybody else."

My brother, it was strange to think the words rolled his eyes and slapped me playfully.

"That's not what he meant Sis."

"Yeah I know, but it was fun messing with him and y'all." I smirked. I did not think it was necessary to mention I had a pilot license for any airplane it was possible to get a private license. Adam had insisted on teaching me how to fly. He said you never know when it might not come in Handy. Also I would keep being able to turn into a cat to myself.

They laughed.

I looked outside it was getting dark. "Guys I have to get home to Duncan and Adam. Plus I have to get up early. I am in a martial arts tournament tomorrow."

"Oh I have got to see that!" Taylor explained.

Everybody else agreed.

I groaned. "The Cullens will be there too. I invited them." Well then my plan was definitely shot to hell.

"Ah, I understand." Jacob said and paused. "How about a compromise. I will give an Alpha-Order prohibiting the pack thinking about your true Identity, while keeping my own thoughts in check, and you will promise to tell the Cullens who you are Monday after the tournament. That way you still get to show them you can fight but we can keep the amiable collaboration and friendship between the pack and the Cullens intact.

I thought for a moment. And every one of the Boys looked at me with puppy dog eyes. Pleading with me. I rolled my I eyes. "Oh alright." I conceded.

The boys all cheered and I got swung around and hugged a couple more times.

I left them with the information to the tournament.

And made my way home.

When I was home Adam was the first one I saw. And I ran into his arms. While he hugged me.

He was whispering soothingly to me in some long dead language. I guess he was waiting for me to cry.

I looked at Adam: "Things have changed. I need to go with the contingency plan.

Adam smiled; the contingency plan was the one he preferred. It had more finesse and was a lot more devastating for the revengees.

Duncan entered the room. "There you are, I was starting to worry a little."

I laughed. "I know father. I would worry if you didn't worry. It wouldn't be you."

We laughed and Duncan hugged.

"So how was your day?" he asked.

I smiled mischievously and said in a non-chalant innocent tone . "Oh nothing much, the cullens are coming to the completion tomorrow, Jacob is alive and so are a few of the pack I knew. The pack is coming to the completion, too. They know what I am, and oh I have half-brother who's a wolf. Oh and I told them what we are and gave them the quick overview of my life."

Duncan was gaping.

Adam chuckled. "So nothing much ey." He paused thoughtful. " Did you tell them the quick overview actual or light version?"

"Light version, I wanna ease them into everything. Oh and please don't mention the thing with me being a feline part of the time."

Duncan hat caught himself again and smiled at me knowingly. "You want to mess with them all don't you?"

"Oh Hell, yeah." In the broadest southern accent I could manage.

Review please!
