Bella's POV
Ever since they found me everyone has been asking what happened? And how did you get out there? I'm getting tired of it. I don't know how I got out there but I'm thinking I was sleeping walking. I don't remember what happened out there I want to forget about it and move on. But I can't stop thinking about the dream and the blood. I don't know where it came from or who's it is.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine can everyone please stop asking me that." I say in an angry tone.
"Sorry." Leah says putting her head down.
"It's OK I'm sorry too I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. I've just been asked the same question about a million times today. And your just making sure I'm OK your a good friend I'm sorry.
"It's OK I understand, So changing the subject are you excited about the bon fire tonight?" Leah says smiling.
"Yeah I can't wait."
It's always the same it's nothing new. Everyone in the tribe goes to these to hear the stories and it's always the same stories. Maybe I can get out of it and say I'm not feeling well but Paul wants me to go. So I guess I kind of have to and plus I want to be there for him.
I haven't heard from Jasper ever since we had the let's just be friends talk. I've been calling him and texting him but I never get anything back. I hope everything is alright. If Paul found out I was trying to reach him he would be pissed and would probably tell me to leave his ass alone.
Leah came over right after she got out of school to see how I was doing. Even though I told her she didn't have to, but I think part of the reason was to help me find something to wear tonight and to try and keep my mind off of what happened this morning.
"Hey I'm going to go to my house to get ready I will be back over in an hour."
"OK." Yeah right when does it take her only an hour to get ready she'll be back in two hours I thought to myself. As I see her leave the room.
I get up and start to get my stuff ready for a shower so I can start getting ready for tonight. As I was getting my towel there was a knock on the door. "It's open." I say as I see my Mom open the door.
"Hey hon can I come in?"
"Yeah." I say as she walks in and closes the door. She comes over and sits down on my bed.
"I see Leah left in a hurry."
"Yup had to get home to get ready."
"I know you been threw a lot today but I want to let you know how important this bon fire is to our family and to our tribe. A lot of the questions you have will be answered tonight. I'm proud of you my baby is becoming a woman." She says as her eyes start to water as though she was going to cry. "I just want to prepare you and make sure you understand the importance of tonight. Your life will change forever after tonight."
"OK Mom when you say it like that it kind of creeps me out. You guys aren't like going to sacrifice me or anything right." I say with a smirk on my face.
She sits there quietly not really answering my question which freaks me out even more. Then she turns to me with a blank stare.
"Well." She says softly.
"Well what Mom?" I say nervously.
"You figured it all out haven't you." She says as she quickly runs towards me and starts tickling me and laughing. "No Bella were not going to sacrifice you. Were going to eat you." She says in a deep voice trying not to laugh as I start laughing.
"I'm proud of you Bella." She says in a serious voice as she hugs me.
"I love you Mom."
"I love you too sweetheart. Now chop chop were already behind schedule."
"Well I still have to find something to wear, Take a shower, And do my hair." I say panicking
"Isn't that why Leah was here to help you."
"Well she was but she left to get herself ready."
"Well how long do you think it's going to take you? Everybody else is already dressed."
"I don't know probably and hour."
"Bella, Bella, Bella, Were leaving in twenty minutes."
"That's not enough time." I said as I started to rummage threw my closet.
"Fine then me and your Dad will take the car and I'll have Jacob and Paul come and walk you over when your ready."
"Oh how nice an escort for the princess." I say smiling.
"Yeah now get a move on I'm sending them in an hour."
"OK, OK I'm getting in the shower right now." I say as I see her leave the room.
Paul's POV
"So are you nervous?" Jacob says as we walk to his house to get Bella.
"Why would I be nervous?"
"Because tonight is the night that you tell the girl you love that sometimes when you get threatened or angry you kind of morph into a wolf. Some girls might not take that too well." He says smiling.
"Yea but Bella's different I know she loves me no matter what."
"Yeah that's what all the girls say until they see your skin rip apart and hair rush out of every part of your body. Usually you don't have any time to explain because your too busy chasing her after she runs away screaming."
"Yeah but with Bella it will be easier for her to grasp because her brother and her father are the same way."
"Yeah I guess you have a point. So no nervousness?"
"No not nervousness, Its just that ever since this morning with what happened with Bella. I can't shake this feeling like something's wrong."
"Don't worry about it bro she was just sleep walking the doctor said it could be a side effect plus she's with us so we can protect her."
"I know but I just can't help but think something bad is going to happen tonight."
