Chapter 2

Sams POV

I'd been quite surprised with Bella turning up at the beach with Jacob. I knew he was still fairly pissed with me, particularly since Embry joined Paul, Jared and I. He'd send me a fair amount of glares, and I was pretty sure I wasn't welcome near Bella, even if I did finally wish to actually meet the girl. I hadn't spoken to her before, and I was certain Jacob wanted to keep it that way. My brothers were surrounding me, attempting to get drunk, but its a lot harder when your body has such a high temp, to even get a buzz. Embry had been pretty annoyed, though understanding, when I told him, under no circumstances was he to speak of the wolf phasing to anyone but the pack and the elders. He'd begged me, to talk to Jacob and Old Quil's grandson, Quil about it, but at that point, I told him I was starting to think I'd have to use my Alpha voice over him if he kept bugging me about it. He had quietened down a lot after that.

"Hey, Jakes here." Embry said eagerly, watching Jake sit with his other great friend Quil, and Bella. I shot him a look, ensuring he understood I didn't want him near Jacob or Quil at this moment. He quickly looked down, understanding exactly what I meant.
"I know, avoid till he joins. This sucks." He groaned. I took a bottle of scotch, holding it out to him. He took it, sitting back with Jared and Paul, and swigging from it.

"He can't know Embry. It won't be long, and you three will be running the forest together. But until then, you avoid him. He cannot know until he phases. Then, you can tell him everything that's happened to you in the past week." I said to him. He nodded.
"Sorry Sam." He said taking another swig

"I want one of you to run boarders." I turned my gaze on the three. They all looked up, I knew, hoping I wouldn't choose them.
"Embry, you go, Paul and I ran today, and I'll send Jared next. Besides, maybe with some distance, you won't feel as tempted to socialize with Jacob." I said to him. He smirked and stood.

"I doubt that. Can I come back once I'm done?" He asked, taking one last large gulp of his drink.
"Sure. I'll be here for a while. I wanna meet Bella." I said glancing back to the girl. Her back was too me, and Jake was doing well to ignore all our presence.
"Good luck with that Sam, Jake's fairly clingy with Quil, and Bella's worst. He is in love with her." Embry said emptying the last of the bottle I had only moments ago handed him. I turned back, looking at Jacob. He did well for ignoring my existence, but I was interested just how long he could go on ignoring me, when he was drinking.

Bella's POV

I sat laughin as Jake told whispered stories of the Quileute legends.
"And then, he phased, into a horrendous wolf, taking the head of the vampire whore." He said therotically. I shook my head laughing as he attempted to add his own animated movements.
"Jake, I'm fairly sure that's not how my grandad told the story." Laughed Quil. Jake smirked.

"I know, I just spruced it up a little." He said taking a sit, and slinging an arm over my shoulder. I shook my head.
"Jake, you really are an idiot." I laughed, as he held out his bottle of beer to me. I shook my head, pushing the bottle away.
"I have to drive, and my father would commit murder if he thought I drove home drunk." I said smirking.
"Hey Jake, he's doing it again." Quil's voice said under his voice. I watched Jacob turn and look over at a group of very big guys. I looked the three of them over.
"Who are they?" I asked turning back to face Jake, who was no longer smiling.
"The Uley gang." He spat. I looked back in surprise. All three looked scary large, and none were looking our way.
"Which ones Sam?" I asked curiously. Jake looked back over.

"The one standing. I hate that guy." He said throwing his bottle into the fire angrily.
"Lets get out of here. I don't wanna deal with them." Jacob said standing. I looked at him, it was ten, and soon I'd have to head home.
"Jake, it's been fun, but I have to head home soon. You and Quil go. I'd rather not be late getting home, I don't want Charlie to have to ground me." I said standing. He looked at me a little uneasy.

"Sure." He stepped in, and quickly pressed his mouth into mine. I froze, as he held me there. Once he stepped out, he was smirking.
"I had to do that at least once." He said grinning. I looked at him a little nervous. I wasn't in love with him, and I definitely wasn't ready for that. I was really speechless.

"See ya later Bell's." He said grabbing Quil's arm and running off. I stood there in silence, still in shock. I slowly sat back on the log I had been on for the past 3 hours. I shook my head, I knew now, I would need to have a long talk with Jake, but it would have to wait until he was sober. I glanced over my shoulder again, noticing the other two guys with Sam walking off towards the waves. I stood, knowing it was now or never.

Walking over was fairly nerving. Sam's back was to me, and I wasn't really sure if this was a good idea or not. Gang affiliation wasn't exactly something I wanted to be known for, but at the same time, I wanted to thank him.

"Sam?" I spoke, taking a deep breath, calming the nerves.

Sam's POV

I hadn't heard the voice before. I turned, and that was it…. Everything I was suddenly disappeared into the dark brown eyes. My parents, friends and tribe, that had held me to this world disappeared in an instant. I felt myself growing warm, and nothing could extinguish the flames that suddenly engulfed me. Every breath that the girl in front of me took, felt like my own. My heart felt as though it was synchronised to hers. I sat, staring at Isabella Swan for minutes, my eyes searching the depths of her soul. I had found her, my reason for being.

Bella shifted uneasy on her feet. I couldn't take my own brown eyes off of her.
"Sam?" She said again a little shaken. I suddenly caught my breath, blinking. I quickly broke my stare. ,
"Umm… maybe I should come back." She said suddenly turning. I stood up.
"Bella, wait." I called to her. She slowly turned.
"Sorry, I, ah… what can I do for you?" I asked, stumbling on my words like a 15 year old school boy.
"I wanted to thank you." She said looking at me. I looked at her a little stunned. She wanted to thank me? Why?

"Ah, why?" I asked. She softly smiled and looked down.
"For saving me, in the forest." She said shifting uncomfortably from my gaze. I smiled.
"It was nothing. I am glad I could help." I said softly. She smiled.

"Well I better go." She said to me. I quickly reached for her small hand.
"Wait." I said taking it. I was stunned, as my hands tingled at her touch. She stopped and looked at her hand. I quickly dropped my arms.
"Would you like to perhaps sit and talk? I am rather bored." I asked, offering a log. She looked over her shoulder.
"Sure." She stepped past me. I caught my breath as milk and honey softly caught me. I smiled, somewhat mesmerised by the smell.
"So, you are huge." She said suddenly. I broke out in laughter.

"Yeah, it's the Quileute way." I said offering her a drink of water. She took it and sipped on the bottle. Every movement she made, made my insides do flips. I was suddenly so engulfed in Bella.

Bella's POV

I wasn't sure what had happened. Sam stood staring at me, for what seemed hours. I had been nervous already, and now it was worst. It took all my self control not to run away. His eyes had stared at me like I was a mystical person. I had thanked him after I managed to get his attention, then I had attempted to make a run for it. He'd called out for me to wait, then taken my hand. I had frozen on the spot, feeling a strange sensation tingling through my hand. I was surprised with just how warm his touch had been, particularly with how cold it had been. I couldn't get over how tall he was. I was really small compared to him. I stood maybe to his chest maybe the tip of his shoulders if I was lucky. It had been the reason I had made the stupid comment how huge he was. He had just laughed it over, with a smile that would make any girls weak in the knees.

"So, ah… what do you do?" I asked Sam, not really entirely sure what to talk about.
"I'm the repair man of Forks." He answered.
"I am the only one around. When things break, I fix it." He said smiling softly. I couldn't help but notice exactly how confident he was.
"what about you, Bella?" He asked. I couldn't notice the way his tongue rolled as he spoke my name. I smiled.
"School, and hang out with Jake." I answered, taking another sip of the bottle of water he had given me. He nodded.
"Yeah… Jake." He said with a sigh. I looked at him.

"Is it true you are the leader of a gang?" I asked, not really caring how straight forward I was being. Besides, once you have confronted a vampire, asking little questions wasn't really that great of a drama.
"No. I hang with a particular group of guys, but we aren't a gang." He said trying to hide a grin.
"Oh." I wasn't really sure what to ask him next. I looked at my watch, realizing, I had twenty minutes before curfew. I quickly stood.
"Well, it was nice to talk to you Sam, I have to get home. My dad gave me a curfew at eleven." I said softly. He stood.
"Bella, perhaps I could text you sometime? I would love to talk to you more?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Sure." I took out my mobile and held it out to him. He hit in his number.
"Well, I'll see you around Sam." I said softly. He smiled at me.
"Yeah, definitely."
