I am sooooooo sorry about the wait! I had finals and those are killer. I have also been working on typing up different versions of where I want this story to go, so the chapter might take a little while as I try to figure out which one(s) to go with. I promise I haven't forgotten this and it is not on hiatus. I will be uploading chapters as I write them and decide what to do. I also got a couple new books and some sheet music for some songs by Piano Guys, so that has kind of caught my attention as well. Random question, are any of you on Quotev? I just made an account and I am thinking of posting one of my own stories on there (one that isn't a fanfic, shocker, right?). Shout-out to ashsisa and Goddess of Music-Thumper for favoriting my story! This is a long chapter to make up for all of my tardiness on updates! Shall we continue?

Disclaimer: I don't own anything Transformers or Twilight, all I own is Katherine, students that were hurt/died in the attack, and the plot.

What should I do?

Elita shifted beside me to face me and she held my hands as she waited till I looked up at her, "What do you mean, Kat," I remained silent, "Katherine Lennox, what do you mean? What is going on?"

I looked away and took a deep breath and then met her gaze with a determined, sad gaze of my own, "I want to tell you, but I would have to ask you to keep it from everyone, including Optimus, and I won't do that. I refuse to do that and cause a rift between you two. I promise that it isn't anything bad. I just...had some things come up that I haven't had any time to really process and understand, but I'm okay."

Her eyes searched mine and understanding blossomed in her bright blue eyes. She brushed a strand of my hair behind my ear, "I trust you. However, you must promise to tell one of us if it ever starts getting to be too much. I mean it, Katherine. The second it gets to that point, you have to inform one of us." I nodded in agreement and we shared a smile before turning to my laptop to write up part of my paper on Romeo and Juliet.

The teacher wanted us to write a two page paper on what we thought of their relationship and I decided to write about how I thought they were stupid. By the time I finished, I couldn't remember what I actually wrote considering I kept getting sidetracked by anything. Elita was able to somewhat keep me on track, which was a miracle in itself. We both jumped a little when my phone rang and I tilted my head in curiosity when I saw that it was Jake calling me, "Hey, Jakey. What's up?"

I shifted a little to be more comfortable as Elita left the room to give me some privacy, "Elders want a meeting with you, me, and Sam. When can you meet?"

I bit my lip as I thought for a second, "Well, I'm still on bed rest, but I can Saturday evening, if that works for you guys."

I heard his muffled voice relaying what I had told him and I could hear someone reply to him, but I couldn't understand what they had said, "That's good. Pick you up around six?"

I agreed and we hung up as Elita walked back in and questioned who it was. I shrugged, "Old friend from the rez, I mean reservation. He wants me to come by and hang out." She nodded before a sudden thought struck me and I grabbed my crutch as I stood, "Come on, we're going to the hospital." I didn't even bother changing out of my Batman sweats and Star Wars shirt I had worn to bed because I honestly didn't care what people thought today.

Elita's holoform sat in front on her alt form as I sat behind her with my crutch strapped to my back. I made her wait outside as I hobbled my way in and went to the front desk that was manned by a tan woman with dyed blond hair, "How can I help you?"

Mentally cringing at the obviously fake joy, I kept my voice polite, "I need to see Dr. Cullen."

Her face instantly turned cold and I could feel her demeanor shift, "Who are you?"

I was puzzling over her sudden change and adjusted my crutch a little in order to stay upright because my leg was quivering with trying to hold my weight, "I'm friends with his children."

She turned downright snappy, "Well, he's too busy. Give me a message and I'll pass it along."

I felt my eyes widen at her attitude before seeing the blonde man coming towards us, "Carlisle!"

His head popped up as if he hadn't already known I was here and he smiled at me before frowning when he saw how I was sweating and shaking with the effort of not falling on my butt, "Hello, Katherine. Jeannine, grab a wheelchair for me please."

I blinked in shock as her demeanor changed yet again and her voice was sickly sweet, "Right away, Dr. Cullen." My lip curled up in disgust as it dawned on me that she had some sort of crush on him and wanted him, even though he was married.

"That's nasty."

I hadn't meant to mumble my thoughts out loud and only Carlisle heard, thankfully, but he must have known what I had been thinking about because he chuckled slightly, "Indeed, Katherine." I blushed a little before sinking into the wheelchair gratefully and he swiftly pushed me to his office and shut the door, "What brings you here today? I haven't noticed any new injuries."

I smiled and laughed a little at his observations, "Yeah, no new injuries. Leg is bugging me a bit, but that isn't exactly new. I actually had a couple questions. I know you may not be able to really answer, but I figured it was worth a shot asking you."

He sat behind his desk and gave me his full attention with a fatherly smile, "I will answer as best as I can." I paused to gather my thoughts and I subconsciously began tapping a rhythm on my good leg with my hand.

Finally, I took a deep breath, "One, what would be your reasons for not wanting to work with the wolves and why would you want to? Two, would your family be able to work with the wolves without being enemies? Three, have you ever heard the legend of the Lupus Sororis? If so, what do you know?"

He sat there in silence for a few seconds and I wondered if he was trying to figure out what to tell me. It seemed like an eternity before he responded, "To your first and second questions, I do not have any reasons not to work with the wolves. I wish we could work together in harmony without the treaty. My family would need some time, especially Rosalie, if we were ever to work with the wolves. There has been decades of us being enemies. It would take some time, but we would all get over it."

He paused to lean forward and rest his head on top of his folded hands as he studied me with appraising eyes, "The legend of the Wolf's Sister. It has been a very long time since I've heard that legend spoken. What I know is that she herself could not turn into a wolf, but they say she was a wolf in mind heart, and soul. However, there isn't much else I know. I have heard that she is something that the wolves will guard with their lives and vampires aren't allowed to know who she is, if she exists, because her blood is said to give vampires extra power. I have a feeling I know why you asked, but do you want to tell me yourself?"

I sighed and straightened up in my chair before mimicking his posture of resting my chin on my hands, "I am apparently the Lupus Sororis. I don't know much more than you do because I found out and freaked. I have a meeting with the elders and the alpha on Saturday, so I'll find out more, but I was hoping you may have known something I didn't. You're the first person outside of the pack and the elders to know and I want to keep it that way for now," he nodded in agreement, "I know I can trust you and your family, but I have a feeling this is going to put me in danger and I refuse to drag your family into it."

I stood up before he could speak and propped myself up on my crutch, "Thanks for your time, Carlisle, sorry if I interrupted anything."

He chuckled a little, "Don't worry about it. I am glad to have been able to help in any way I could. Alice had seen that you would come in, so I made sure that I would have nothing planned around when she said you would arrive." I had my hand on the doorknob as his voice turned somber, "Katherine," I turned my head to look him in the eyes, "We would all do everything in our power to keep you safe. You know that, right?"

I looked away as I opened the door and breathed out my sentence, so only he could hear, "You may, but that doesn't mean your family feels the same."

Without any other words, I hobbled off and hissed when I got outside because it was bright. Elita pulled up and we quickly took off back to Uncle Charlie's place and, once we were inside, she carried me up to my room. I was laying my bed and staring at the wall, but I wasn't really seeing the wall because I was too busy thinking about everything Carlisle had said about the wolves. Without meaning to, I sighed and I jumped when Elita commented, "That's a heavy sigh. I believe the saying is a penny for your thoughts?"

I smiled a little at her slight hesitation with the phrase before my lips pulled down in a frown, "You got the saying right, but I can't share these thoughts. Not yet. Believe me when I say I want to tell you, but I would have to give up a secret that is as classified as the Bots and Cons are."

I knew her interest and worry spiked, but I also knew she wouldn't push me for answers because she knows I'm loyal and wouldn't reveal a secret unless I had to. We decided to goof around on my laptop for a while and it wasn't long before it was bedtime. The next couple of days were boring and I finally had enough. Bella was gone Saturday morning by the time I dragged my butt out of bed and I went to shower before anyone could come and worry over me for moving without help. Once I was in my room, I put on a white tank with a treble clef and a bunch of different colors before pulling on a pair of short shorts that had some Star Wars fabric on it. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and did a braid on the left side of my hair before going over to my keyboard.

I practiced some scales before shrieking when Emmett's face appeared in front of my window. I had shoved myself backwards in my fright and I felt my chair tipping over as I cried out and flailed to stop myself from falling. Something caught me and I looked up into honey eyes with curly blonde hair framing the face, "Need some help, darlin'?"

Smiling, I nodded and he effortlessly lifted me upright as he turned my chair to let me see him and his oaf of a brother, "Thanks, Jasper. That was mean, Emmett. You about scared me to death."

He scoffed and laughed, "Yeah right. I didn't scare you that bad."

I flipped him off before turning my attention to Jasper, "So what brings you two over here?"

He shrugged "We figured you were probably bored, so we came to entertain you."

I quirked an eyebrow, "'Entertain' me? Why do I not like the sound of that?"

They both gave me hurt looks and leave it to Emmett to be dramatic, "You wound my unbeating heart with your doubt and suspicion!" He fell to his knees and pretended to sob into his hands.

I looked at Jasper, who rolled his eyes, and I chuckled a little, "Yeah, yeah, drama queen. Get up. You look ridiculous." Emmett stuck his tongue out at me and I did the same to him before glancing at my phone when it rang.

Jasper tossed me my phone and I saw it was a text from Bella that was telling me she had given my number to a couple of our friends that wanted to get in touch with me. While I was a tad upset that she had just given it out, I shrugged it off and didn't bother responding as I turned my attention back to the old men before me, Well, old to me. Bee is probably older than all of the Cullens combined. Huh, I'll have to ask one of the Bots how old they all are.

I almost burst out laughing when Emmett suddenly had a game system with controllers in his hands and Jasper had a large TV screen in his arms, "I take it we're going to play video games?" They both nodded and wasted no time in setting it up where I could rest on my bed and still be able to play without being uncomfortable.

They thought it would be a good idea to start on Guitar Hero and Emmett turned to me, "We're going to play on expert, so don't be upset when we beat you cause it's still too easy. Don't worry though, we're going to play with our eyes half shut." I felt my competitiveness rear its head and Jasper raised his eyebrows at my feelings and the challenge on my face. I wasted no time in putting mine on expert as well because I may only be human, but I could beat the Bots at this game, so I knew I could put the cocky vampire in his place. It wasn't long before they realized all three of us had around the same score and both turned to look at me, which allowed me to get ahead because they forgot to continue playing when they moved their attention from the game.

I crowed in victory at the end as Emmett moaned and Jasper chuckled. A few hours went by until they both left and I put on my black sneakers that had little spikes sticking off of them. I clasped my necklace/tracker around my neck, put a music note ring on my right ring finger, put a gold band around my left bicep, and I stuck violin earrings in my ears before I started to walk out of my room. However, being the genius that I am, I forgot to grab my crutch as I stood up and I collapsed in a heap when I went to take a step. I held in a groan of pain as my eyes stung with tears, but I forced myself to get my crutch and get back to a standing position. Grateful that nobody had heard me and come to check, I slowly made my way downstairs and opened the front door to find Jacob already waiting for me, "Hiya, Jakey."

A grin spread across his face, "Hey, Katie. How are you doing?"

I shrugged with my good shoulder as we went over to his car, "Bored out of my mind. I haven't been allowed back to school yet, so I am slowly going out of my mind."

He chuckled in amusement at the exasperation in my voice and we chatted about school and our friends as he drove to the rez. I was surprised to be pulling up in front of his house, but I grinned as I saw a familiar man in a wheelchair roll onto the porch. I made my way to the porch and Jacob helped me up the three steps, "Hi, Billy. It is good to see you again."

He greeted me as we made our way in and I sat on the couch with a grimace of pain as Quil's grandfather and Sue Clearwater took seats in folding chairs beside Billy as Jake sat on the other end of the couch. It was about two minutes later that Sam arrived through the back door and he nodded in greeting to all of us while he remained standing between Jacob and Sue.

I fidgeted a little at the sudden tension in the air and I nervously tapped my fingers on the couch cushion, "I assume Jacob told you why we wanted to meet with you."

I shook my head at Billy, "No, he just you guys wanted to have a meeting, but he didn't say why."

The father shot a look at his son, who sheepishly shrugged in apology, "No matter. We wanted to meet with you and discuss what it means for you to be the Lupus Sororis. I want you to ask whatever questions or concerns you have. I do not want you to leave here being misinformed or unaware of something, understand?"

I nodded to the man and shifted a little to get in a comfier position before glancing at my phone when it rang to tell me I had received a text message. I didn't bother reading it as I shut my phone off because I didn't want it to distract me when I was going to be learning a lot and I turned my focus to Billy, who seemed to be the spokesperson today.

"I know you remember what I told you and the pack at the bonfire, but I did not go into much detail because I did not wish to overwhelm you and there is much that few should know. Sam is here because he is the pack alpha and Jacob is his second in command. Both need to know and understand in order to fulfill their duties to you and know what they can and cannot ask of you. The last Lupus Sororis we had was before anyone can remember, before even the Cullens came to Forks. She kept a journal and the last entry was dated to be in the year 1800," I blinked in slight shock at how long it had been, "We will give you the journal, but much of it has been lost and I am afraid that none of us know where it could be."

"One thing that Sam has brought up to me is that you were able to hear his thoughts while he was in wolf form. Do not be alarmed, this is one thing that we expected. You can only hear them when you are close to them at the moment, but you will be able to strengthen this bond and be able to communicate with any of them when they're in wolf form within a large distance. We do not know how far you can be from them to communicate, but we do know that you'll eventually be able to speak to them in your head as well. According to the journal, there are a few side effects of being the Lupus Sororis. The communication is one thing you'll have noticed. Your hearing, sense of smell, and your eyesight will most likely also be heightened over time. You may also find yourself getting faster and stronger, but it will not be very drastic because the wolves are to guard you with their lives."

I raised my hand to politely stop him, "That is where I have a concern. I don't want anyone dying because of me. I want the pack to save themselves if it comes down to me or them."

Sam spoke up before Billy could, "You may want that, but it won't work that way, sororis. When we all connected with you, it made you and our imprints our number one priority. It is our basic instinct to step between you and any danger that threatens you."

I frowned a bit as I thought about what he said, "Is there any way to stop that?"

Billy took over from there, "The only way to stop that instinct is for you to die."

I blanched and my voice was a little shaky, "Oh, okay...good to know." It was quiet for a couple seconds before Billy continued with telling me about what I am.

"Another side effect you may notice is that you are more prone to being protective of those you love due to the nature of a wolf. Lastly, you may notice that you get slightly claustrophobic when you are inside, especially if there are no windows. However, we don't know if you will have any or none of these because the journal and legends do not give us a definite answer. The last Lupus Sororis only had heightened senses and the communication, but legends tell us others have had the other side affects. Now, I assume you want to know your role and what duties you have?"

He waited until I gave a short nod as an answer.

"Your role and duties are very simple. You are to be a friend and sister to the pack. They need to be able to come to you with anything and you'll need to be able to guide them in whatever it is. You'll have to protect them from themselves, from each other, and the humans. You are to be the mediator and peacekeeper. You will not have to go on patrols or battle with the pack. The duties of the pack are very similar, except they are to protect you with their lives and make sure the Cold Ones never get you and drink your blood. Despite the fact you are human, you have always had part of the wolves in your blood and it would be the end for all if a Cold One ever drank from you. Not only would we lose you, but you would grant them everything you've gained from the wolves, including the instinct to protect you. That instinct would change to have to protect the Cold One, no matter how bad they wish to kill it. Do you understand?"

I took a shaky breath and nodded as my head spun slightly with all of the knowledge I had received. I think Jacob could understand how I felt because he rested a had on my shoulder and smirked when my gaze met his, "Don't worry, Katie. Nothing could ever get past these muscles."

He started flexing and I snorted, "Your muscles or your giant ego?"

He held a hand to his chest and gasped theatrically, "Shots fired!"

I laughed with the others at the wolf before I accepted the journal pages that Sue handed me, "You should get home before Charlie calls." I glanced at the clock and gaped in shock at the fact that we had been talking for four hours and it was now 10 P.M.

Jacob grabbed the journal from me as we made our way out the door and he climbed in his car while I paused because someone had called my name. I turned around and found Sam standing a couple feet from me, "Don't worry about anything. None of us will push you to accept all of this. I will speak to the pack and let them know everything we learned tonight. I will also have Jacob program all of our phone numbers in your phone in case you need us and one of us is not nearby. Good night, sororis."

He rested a hand on my shoulder before running to the forest and I clambered into the car. It was a silent ride to Bella's house and Jake stopped me as I started to get out, "I'll be patrolling near the house tonight, so come out or get in touch with one of the others if you need me."

He quickly programmed the phone numbers into my cell and let me go in, where I literally collapsed in bed without taking off any of my clothes or jewelry, including my shoes. I also had forgotten to check the text I had gotten, but it could wait until morning, right?
