"Edward," my voice was arctic cold and I forced myself to not flinch at the hurt look on his face

"Bella? what's wrong?"

studying him for a moment I said "nothing"

he blinked and said "would you like a ride to school?"

scowling I hissed "no, now leave!"

frowning slightly Edward replied "not until you tell me what is wrong" stifling a frustrated and rage filled scream at the fact I now couldn't go anywhere as Edwards stupid Volvo was blocking the end of the drive, I turned on my heel and started walking down the sidewalk, "hey where are you going?"

a low growl escaped at Edwards irritating persistence, "too school" I shouted

Edwards oh so intelligent reply was "what?"

Turning I spoke slowly and loudly like I was speaking to a three year old "as you refused to let me drive to school I am going to walk as that is hugely preferable to getting in a car with you!" and with that I turned back around and stalked off into the woods I heard him swear and start to run after me so I quickly ducked out of sight and shifted before scaling the nearest tree and running to school via the tree tops.

I reached school in record time and quickly shifted and dropped from my tree top perch landing silently I traipsed into school with 5 minutes until the bell. I had to go to the office to collect my schedule and a slip that all my teachers had to sign. The school day was boring and it dragged by so slowly, lunch wasn't great either the second I walked into the cafeteria everyone was staring and whispering about the new girl, the chiefs daughter. I sat in a quiet corner of the room at a table on my own listening into to random conversations for fun. When I caught the Cullen's conversation I paused and listened.

"She could be a massive threat and your stupid plan doesn't seem to be working, after all how can someone fall in love and spill their secrets when they hate your guts."

"Rose she doesn't hate my guts"

"Um I think she does she has been glaring in this direction for most of lunch, specifically the back of your head."

"Thanks Alice way to make me feel better"

"Oooh don't tell me Eddie boy is getting feelings for the new girl"

Edward scowled and replied "of course not shut up Emmett"

The bell rang signalling the end of lunch so I stood and headed to my next lesson biology. The lesson was dull and it dragged by at the slowest speed possible and Edward spent the whole lesson flirting and trying to get me to warm up to him again. After biology I had gym, when I walked into the gymnasium after changing I was not best pleased to see Emmett was in the same class as me but I ignored him and went to stand with some other girls who I had found were okay to talk to. The coach called everyone's attention and then said we were playing doge ball today. Inside I was doing a huge happy dance I love doge ball being part cat gave me incredible reflexes so sport was basically a breeze. Searching the crowd the coach saw me and said "swan, Cullen your team captains take your pick"

I headed over to the front of the crowd and me and Emmett took turns choosing students, I didn't know anyone's names really so I mostly just pointed to people. Once the teams were decided we set up to play and then got ready when the coaches whistle blew I was off like a shot heading for the ball and hurling it at Emmett in a single movement, the ball would have collided right with Emmett's family jewels if he hadn't moved at the last minute causing the ball to hit another student who had been standing behind him right in the stomach. The game continued and everyone except me and Emmett ended up out so we just kept throwing balls back and forth until I saw Emmett toss the ball slightly to high grinning I coiled myself up then sprang straight up in the air and snagged the ball landing lightly on the balls of my feet I held the ball up and my team erupted into deafening cheers while Emmett's team just sat there stunned.

I left the gym as quickly as possible heading for the locker room i didn't bother changing as it was the last lesson of the day. Speed walking through the halls i made it out of the front doors just before the final bell rang making a beeline for the woods as soon as i was out of sight i launched myself straight up into the branches of an ancient looking oak, shifting i shook out my fur and loped homeward. When i reached the house i shifted back into my human form and entered only to find it empty, a note on the counter informed me that Charlie had gone round to Billy's house to watch a game. The sound of an engine approaching had me jogging to the front door listening intently i recognised Edwards Volvo, letting out a low growl i turned fled out the back of the house and back into the woods before shifting and running for the reservation.

When i reached Jake's house i was about to got knock when i saw Jake emerge front the woods, shirtless and barefoot, snorting i strolled over to him calling out "hey Jake"

Jumping like a startled rabbit he replied "oh hey Bella what's up?"

Smiling i said "i need to talk to Sam"

Jake just nodded and then jerked and said "how do you know Sam i didn't think you had met"

Grinning now i said "i have although he may not recognise me as i am"

Jake looked confused but nodded anyway and led the way over to his truck "hop in"

Jumping up into the cab with ease i waited for Jake to get in before i turned to him and said "so Jake what were you doing in the woods without shoes or a shirt on?"

Flushing slightly Jake floundered looking for an excuse "uh"

Throwing him a bone i said "find yourself a pretty girl?" Looking relieved he just nodded vigorously. satified that I had sufficiently distracted jake from asking about me knowing Sam I let the rest of the drive pass in comfortable silence.

with Sams house in sight nerves started to tingle in my stomach, forcing myself to remember the whispered plan alice and Edward had made to deceive me I knew this was something I had to do. Jake didn't knock when he reached the door he just walked in and shouted to Sam "hey Sam I came by with bella she said she needed to speak to you" smiling slightly at the act I knew there was no need to shout Sam had probably heard him come in the front door but they didn't know she knew about them yet although that was about to change.

Glancing at jake I said "you don't have to shout you know" kale just shrugged in response when Sam came into sight I swallowed the nerves bubbling under the surface and spoke with a confidence I didn't have "Sam it's nice to see you again"

sam looked confused and said "we've met?"

smiling I nodded and said "everything will be clear soon however I would advise you call a pack meeting as I don't particularly feel like explaining myself more than once"

scowling sam lost the friendly demeanour he had previously sported "what is this about?"

"this would be about the coven of vampires you have living on your doorstep"

scowling Sam looked at jake and said "get the others" jake nodded and left through the front door.

Sam continued to glare at me while we waited so to try and ease the tension a bit I said "look I hate those blood suckers as much as you do if not more" unconsciously I tuned at the scars on my arm, Sams gaze immediately followed.

"how are you not a blood sucker"

grimacing I said "my kind don't take to vampire venom well, I'm lucky to be alive"

looking suspicious again Sam said "your kind?"

blinking I said "yeah shapeshifters like you guys"

Sam looked ready to ask another question but jake came back in with the rest of the pack, I couldn't help but grin slightly when I saw a certain sandy haired boy, Sam introduced everyone. "Hello it's good to see all of you again,"

"what do you mean again?" Paul said looking distinctly irritated,

grinning impishly I decided to simply show them instead of trying to explain, willing a shift I watched the room shrink and the faces of those around me going from confused to shocked.

"What the hell?"

grinning I shifted back and was met with more surprised expressions followed by the only girl in the pack Leah saying "how the hell did you do that and can you teach me?"

Smiling I said "I don't really know why my cloths shift with me it's just always been that way so I don't think i can really teach you it" Leah looked disappointed but didn't argue the point.

"what does this have to do with the blood suckers?" Sam was now over the shock and back to asking sensible questions.

speaking haltingly I told them about liking Edward realising he was a vampire and how his coven had come up with the idea of tricking me into telling them what I was and then I explained why I had told them all this "and I told you all this so that if I need to get away from them I can come here and you guys will understand and that if I do something odd you guys might help me cover it up I don't want them leeches knowing what I am"

sam looked thoughtfull for a moment and then said we have a truce with the vampires but I don't mind helping one of our own even if they are a little different over the agreement we have with the vamps"

letting out a relived sigh I flopped down onto the nearest Sofa and said "questions?"

the next hour was spent answering questions until several stomachs rumbled grinning I hoped up and made a beeline for the kitchen snooping around I found food and plenty of baking supplies "hey Sam do you mind if whip up some food for everyone?"

sam looked surprised but said "go for it, Emily would normally do that but she is visiting her parents at the moment and I'm sure she won't mind"

grinning I got to work 45 minutes later I poked my head around the kitchen door and said "foods done" a stampede of hungry shapeshifter charged towards me and I quickly got out of the way multiple gasps were heard behind me and when I turned I found them all gaping at the table full of food shrugging at Sams questioning look I said "I just cooked what I would multiplyed by the number of people then I added a bit extra as you're mostly guys"

jake grinned and said "this is awesome I think if we don't stuff ourselves completely silly there might actually be left overs"

snorting I said "you haven't seen what I eat yet"

some time later we were all sat around the table completely stuffed and there was still some food on the table, releasing a contented sigh I said "that hit the spot" this elicited laughs from everyone at the table glancing out the window I saw the fading light, frowning I said "I should probably get going dad said he was gonna watch the game and have dinner with your dad jake so I should get home soon so he won't beat me home and worry, I didnt leave a note incase the leech broke in to see where I was going not that he could have followed me anyway but I don't want him to be waiting at the boarder line" standing I started for the door when there was a loud corus of people offering me a lift home carefully declining I explained I was gonna run back, Sam suggested the pack run with me back to my house, almost immediately I caved and we all set out into the woods.

once everyone was shifted we all ran through the woods together. I enjoyed the damp air caressing the short hairs on my face and tugging at my whiskers and I loved the company, running with Wolves was more fun than I thought it would be.

when we got to my house the sweet scent of vampire intruded and I let out an angry yowl, Sam turned to me and jerked his head towards my house then turned and started sniffing around, huffing I shifter and walked over to the house when I reached the front door and could still strongly smell leech a scowl worked its way onto my face, opening the door I found the scent permeating the house stifling a hiss I walked into the kitchen and my perfect night vision showed Edward standing on the other side of the island, scowling I said "what the hell are you doing in my house?"
