Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight Saga; I'm just screwing with the characters. Have fun with whatever happens and characters I make up.

AN: This chapter may seem to drag on but please read and review. Also, look at my Black Swan poll; five votes won't cut it.

Embry's POV

I was at Sam and Emily's with the pack discussing patrol times for today and tonight when we heard the rumbling of a familiar truck we all knew by heart as Bella's truck. Jake and I automatically looked up because we knew who was going to be in the truck; Bella and Marie. Sam walked over to the door, with Emily on his heels, to get it when we heard the girls come up the steps. I smiled as Marie stepped through the door and she made her way to me. Bella seemed deep in thought about something though and followed Marie, taking a seat on the empty barstool next to me. Marie had worn her hair down and it cascaded down her back in gentle waves, I could just run my fingers through it but not right now.

As Sam continued the meeting, Marie talked with Emily and helped her with making lunch while standing next to me. All through the meeting, we didn't leave each other's side. If she had to she moved on the other side of me but never left me. I could feel the strength of our amare as she had put it was. She had told me that Spellcasters characterize their love as an individual emotion from the others because it's the strongest and most powerful one.

After lunch was made, Marie grabbed a bowl of chicken noodle soup for both of us and bread with it. She stood next to me with her elbow on my leg. Jake seemed a little worried about Bella but Marie had told him that she was just trying to get some of her memories straightened out from what she had learned this morning. But Marie didn't tell us what it was that Bella was told. Whatever it was, it must've overwhelmed her some. Jake decided he would take Bella back to his place to relax and Marie agreed. That would give me some time with Marie. After seeing the type of speed and agility she had last night through her eyes, I wanted to know more about it. What all could she do? Did she use it the day Jake upset her and she climbed the tree? I want to see her do all those stunts.

Sam ended the meeting and I had patrol later on tonight, so I would get some sleep once Marie left. I went outside with Marie but Jake had taken Bella's truck so we had to walk. We would have to walk to my house but that gave me the best chance to see her in action.

"You want to see how fast I can run, do you?" Marie asked snaking her arms around me from behind.

"Yes, you seemed so fast the other night when your brother put us on alert," I told her as I grabbed her and brought her around in front of me.

"I'm almost as fast as a vampire. Should we test my speed against you in your wolf form?" she asked me curiously.

I thought about it for a moment. It could be dangerous for her. As a werewolf, we were unstable was the easiest way to put it. I could easily hurt her if I lost control. I shouldn't race her in my wolf form.

"You won't hurt me, Embry. I know you won't and I trust you," she said as she cupped my face and made me look down at her.

"Alright but keep a distance to my right or left and in my line of sight. I still want to see you," I told her as we walked to the edge of the woods behind Emily's house.

Marie backed a few feet away from me as I took my pants off and tied them on the string around my ankle. I looked over at Marie as I got ready to shift but stopped when I saw her hand up. Her lips moved softly but I heard nothing. She nodded her head and I shifted quickly but it was painless. I didn't feel the shift of my bones or the heat up my spine.

I'm the spells master of my family. I've learned many spells and the one I used helps a shape shifter when they shift," Marie told me as she took off running into the trees.

I followed quickly with a smile. She ran fast enough to keep up with me and I could see her through the trees. She was swift runner, able to avoid the trees and any small animal that might get in her way. When a deer got in her way and it didn't move, so she somersaulted over it. As soon as she landed, it ran off, scared, and she kept her running pace. She was so graceful and beautiful; I couldn't stop staring at her. I sensed Paul and Jared shift into their wolf forms. I watched Marie look back at me and jump into a tree, becoming thoroughly distracted from where I was going. I stared at the tree Marie had disappeared into until I ran into a tree in front of me.

Jared and Paul fell on their backs laughing at me as they were making it around to me.

Dude, I can't believe you just ran into a tree staring at your girlfriend, Paul roared as he stood up.

Shut up, Paul, I told him as I stood up and shook my head out.

I hate it when he chose to mess with me or Marie, with her being a witch and all. Paul was the most irritating out of everyone to be around and I sometimes wondered if he was always this way. I turned on him, snarling.

Chill out, Embry, he didn't mean any harm by his comment, Jared said.

Well, I'm tired of his remarks about me or Marie, I snarled at him as I dug my paws into the ground, preparing to fight.

Paul got down ready to fight when we heard a small movement in the trees. Thinking it was just birds, Paul jumped at me, pinning me to the ground. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a blur of movement and then nothing.

Oof, something's on my back, Paul growled and started to move off of me, turning around to look on his back.

Suddenly he howled as pain shot through his ears. From his thoughts, Jared and I could sense the pain and tugging on his ears but we couldn't see what it was.

"You…leave…my Embry…alone…" we heard a girl say and recognized her as Marie.

Marie was the blur I saw and the movement we heard in the trees.

So, you need your witch girlfriend to fight your battles now, do you? Paul asked before Marie twisted his ears causing him to ram the side of his head into a tree.

"No, I just hate feeling pain and especially his pain," she grunted as she pulled some of his fur up; successfully pulling his head back to where she had I contact with him. "Got me?" she asked him menacingly.

Paul tried to nod but she still held his fur in her grasp so he gave low bark for yes. I nodded my head to Marie letting her know he said yes and that she could let him go. As she slid down his side, she gathered some of his fur in her hands and pulled it under his stomach as she went under him, knocking him on his back. Jared and I burst into roars of laughter as Marie stood next to me and Paul stumbled to stand back up. He bared his teeth at Marie trying to scare her. She stood firm next to me and hissed at him.

I couldn't see her face but through Paul and Jared's minds I could see her eyes turn into a sapphire blue, the same blue they turned the night we made love. She gave off this animalistic hiss at Paul and he backed up a little bit, but that's wasn't enough for her. I began to worry about what was happening to her. Paul growled at her though Jared protested with him about doing that.

Marie suddenly began to change, taking on some wolf characteristics. Instead of shape shifting like we do, quickly, she shifted slower but her clothes didn't rip away. They seemed to melt to her body creating a second layer of skin on her. She grew in size quickly as her body became more like a wolf until finally she was a pure white shining wolf the size of me.

I never wanted you to see me like this, Embry, Marie thought to me while her once brown eyes that were now blue gazed at me.

Paul and Jared were stunned by what they had just witnessed. Marie was absolutely beautiful as a wolf as she was human.

Wow, Marie just gets freakier and freakier by the moment, Paul thought.

Marie turned her head, growling at him.

I may not be able to hear you thoughts but I can hear them through Embry's so if you want to live you better shut up or I'll shut you up permanently, Marie growled at him as he buckled under the weight of the power in her voice.

Jared stood scared of what Marie could do and I was to. We heard the extra set of paws as they ran toward us and could hear Sam's mind with ours. Marie moved to stand next to me and laid me head on my shoulder.

So the legend of the White Wolf Spirit is true, Sam commented.

Tell Sam yes for me because they can't hear my thoughts as I can't hears theirs except through you, Marie told me.

Marie said yes. What are you talking about, Sam? I asked curiously.

There was a legend that only the tribe leaders know but I can't tell you unless they say I can or without the permission of the White Wolf, Sam told me as he bowed toward Marie.

Marie lifted her head off my shoulder and bowed it back to his, giving him permission to tell the tribe leaders of her return. She turned toward Paul and told him to stand and he stood back up.

Do as she says guys because she has higher authority than me, Sam told us.

Sam led the way back to his house with Paul on his left but he told Jared to stay behind Marie and I stood next to him as we ran. We stood in our positions of protection and on guard except we never used it to protect something or someone. I kept my eyes on Marie but she didn't seem to like being remembered as the White Wolf. It seemed to be a sadder time for her but she wasn't letting me see her memories. I began to worry as we approached Sam's house. She quickly changed back, fully clothed but she kept her back to us so that we could pull our pants on. I ran up to her and pulled her into my arms as we walked in. I wanted her to be happy not sad or upset about her past. That was behind her, right?
