DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight

Hi guys, for this chapter you need to know most of the wolves have already phased. Thx for the reviews.

Last time in Pack Protection

Growing up with Phil and the girls had gave her confidence she didn't even know she had. The girl's had shown her how to not care about what people she didn't like thought of her and to enjoy life because there are more than just humans in the world. She hated it when they were cryptic like that.

The lady next to her nudged her and told her they were landing. She nodded her thanks and clicked her seatbelt back together. Look out Forks because here comes Isabella Swan.

Passing the Forks welcome sign she looked over at her Dad. Bella had finally arrived back in Forks. After an emotional reunion with her Dad they had begun to head back to Forks. Bella smiled when she found out they were riding in a police car. The first words out of her mouth is 'Can we turn the siren and lights on?' To say her Dad was amused was an understatement. He, of course, had no problem since it was the first request his daughter had made since she had got here and it got them through traffic quicker.

That's why five minutes past the Forks welcome sign Bella was helping her Dad get her bags and suitcase from the boot with a grin on her face. The two storey white house looked the same as she remembered it.

Her Dad opened the door and led her back up to her old room. The walls of the house held up pictures of when she was younger and her smile widened as she looked at the ones of her, Jake, Embry and Quil.

Bella was led to the last door upstairs and they headed through. Her room looked the same as she had left it. The purple walls and her rocking chair by the window Renee used to rock her on. She couldn't even believe Renee had actually cared about her.

"I haven't done anything to it because I didn't know if you wanted anything new so I just left-." Cutting her Dad off from his rambling she smiled at him.

"It's alright. I'll sort it out." Bella told him.

He nodded and rubbed the back of his neck. Bella could have sworn he saw a blush on his cheeks. Grinning she quickly hugged him then pushed him out the door shouting thanks as she shut it behind him. Looking around she knew she would have to change a few things since there were still fingerprint paintings on the wall from where she was little. Deciding to put her stuff away later she got her laptop out and began to shop.

She knew she would need new WIFI since the one they had now wasn't that good and she would need WIFI for e-mailing her sisters and Phil. Looking around on the internet she brought one and decided to have it delivered as well as everything else she wanted.

Checking for paint she picked a dark purple and added some new bed covers to go with the it. Picking more colours she wondered if she should just paint a picture on one of the walls that reminded her of her siblings and Phil. Knowing the girls would help with it she decided to buy a range of colours so everyone would have what they needed to paint.

Bella knew that her Father would have paint brushes but didn't know whether he had small ones used for detailing. Buying some of them and finishing off her orders she turned her laptop off and began to put her clothes into the closet. Pulling the clothes that Renee had brought her off the hangers and were all too small for her she put them into a pile, grabbed her lighter and carried them down stairs.

As Bella made her way down stairs she could hear voices coming from the living room and not wanting to be nosy she carried on through the kitchen and into the back garden. Breathing in she could smell the rain and wood of the forest. The fence that used to separate the garden and the forest had been removed so you could walk to and from the garden whenever she felt like adventuring.

Looking around Bella saw a metal bucket and threw her clothes into it. Flicking the lighter on she lit the sleeve of an ugly looking green jumper Renee got her she let the clothes burn. Grinning she turned back towards the house with her lighter now in her pocket. Heading through the kitchen her stomach rumbled so she went to the fridge and started to rummage through it.

"Damn, someone beat me to the food." Jumping at the voice, Bella banged her head on one of the shelves of the fridge.

Rubbing it and slightly ticked off she turned around only to see a tanned man with black long hair leaning against the doorway like he owned the place. Glaring slightly she turned her head to the side silently asking him who he was.

"Seriously Bells, you don't remember me, your best friend." Jake?

Bella squealed in delight and ran towards Jake, tackling him into a hug, and already forgetting her anger.

"Whoa Bells, where did that come from?" Jake chuckled hugging her back tightly as if she would disappear again if he let go.

How had she not recognised him? Wasn't she the one that was scared he wouldn't remember her? She giggled and let go of him. Taking a step back she looked him up and down. He had grown taller; about an inch higher than her. He had cut his hair, his tanned skin had gone darker and is that a tattoo she could see on his shoulder.

Her eyes narrowed as she remembered the back of her head. She raised her hand and whacked him on the head.

"Ouch, what was that for?" Jake pouted, rubbing the side of his head where she had smacked him.

"That was for scaring the shit out of me." Bella told him, smirking when he pouted more.

"It wasn't my fault." He mumbled.

Ignoring him Bella turned back around, shut the fridge and pushed past Jake into the hallway. Making her way back upstairs, knowing Jake was following her, she walked back into her room shutting the door behind her. A thump on the door signalled Jake had walked straight into it. Opening it again she grinned cheekily.

"Sorry Jake, didn't see you there." Glaring up at her Jake stood up and walked into the room after Bella had moved to sit by her desk.

Something began to stick into Bella's leg and that is when she remembered the ninja stars. Taking them out her pocket she put them on her desk. She turned to face Jake and saw him staring intently at the ninja stars. His nostrils had flared and she wondered what was wrong.

"Where did you get them Bella?" His change in attitude was the first thing Bella noticed. Jake sat straight up and was still staring at the ninja stars.

"A friend." She answered him, unsure whether she could tell him about her sisters because Phil had made her promise not to tell Renee. Then again wasn't she planning on asking Charlie if they could come to stay?

Bella new Jake wanted her to elaborate but she wasn't sure she wanted to. Why would he be so interested in them anyway? She would have thought Jake would have warned her they were dangerous not ask where she got them. Jacob sighing brought her attention back to him. He breathed in deeply them back out again. Bella wondered what he was doing.

"Can I have a look at them please Bells?" Jake asked sounding genuinely curious.

She nodded her head still curious as to what he was up to. Picking them up she passed them over to him. Looking carefully she noticed he was sniffing them but was trying to cover it up by looking like he was looking at the detail. She had always perceptive, some people said too perceptive.

Bella waited patiently her hand already waiting to receive them. Jacob passed them back and laid down on the bed. Bella decided she better put the ninja stars in her desk draw in case Charlie came into her room. He would definitely confiscate them, deeming them too dangerous for her.

"Can I ask a question?" Jacob said suddenly sitting up and looking over at Bella.

"You just did." Bella said to him. She leaned back into her seat and waited for him to ask the question.

"I know but what kind of friend creates ninja stars for a very clumsy person?" Jake asked tilting his head to the side like a confused puppy.

"I've been working on my balance." She answered him deliberately dodging the question.

"That wasn't the question." Jake told her. He narrowed his eyes trying to be intimating and make her answer the question. He knew she had deliberately dodged the question and was confused why she wouldn't tell him where she got them from.

Charlie shouting up to Jake his Dad was here interrupted there conversation. Jake stood up, said goodbye to Bella and left the room. She sighed and turned around to lean her head against the desk. Questions ran through her head. Why was Jake so intrigued with who made the ninja stars? Why was he sniffing them? Did she even want to know?

Closing her hand into a fist she hit the desk in annoyance sighing again. What was going on she didn't know about? Bella heard a car outside so decided to see if she could see Billy. Standing up she went to the window gently moving the thin material that was covering the window out the way, not enough to be caught. She saw a truck pulling out the driveway but could only see one person in it and it didn't look like Jake so it was probably Billy. Then where was Jake? He should be in the truck if he didn't want to walk back to La Push. It was about 15 miles away so Bella couldn't see Jake walking there without getting too tired.

A frown appeared on her face as she sat down on her bed. The last time Bella had spoken to Charlie he had told her Billy was in a wheel chair paralyzed waist down so how could he drive a truck? Bella's frown deepened and as she went over the truck leaving in her head. Maybe she had not looked properly and had misjudged how many people were in the truck. Ye, that was probably it or was it?

Will Bella find out about the pack? Will she found out about vampires? And who will she get to tell her? Or will she just leave it alone? Only time will tell.
