-Preface-
My name is Bella Swan. My whole life I've felt different, I just never knew how much.
I do not own anything. These characters belong to Stephanie Meyer, I am just playing with them.
This story is based off of countless other fanfictions. A few of them are 'and so the lamb became the wolf.' by UntitledAlsoUnknown and 'in the full moons light' by stopthemadness
Also, many others.
A.N: I have chapter two written, just needs to be revised! I hope you like this chapter!
Btw, be warned this is one of my least favorite chapters, and I'm the one who wrote it.
Please bear with me, chapter two is much better.
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
Chapter one. -tuesday- March 1st
I hadn't felt right lately, for the past two weeks or so.
Charlie was out fishing for the day.
I had a theory on what Edward was, and I wanted to ask.
Me and Edward decided to go on a walk, it was nice. The sun was starting to set, as the full moon rose. It was beautiful.
I didn't know how to bring up the topic. But I would eventually.
"We should get you back home, it's getting late." He said, letting go of my hand to look at my face.
"Okay." I said. And turned back, towards my house. I would just have to tell him on the walk back.
Then I felt my leg break. I yelled, due to the pain.
"Bella?!" Edward sounded alarmed, closing in on the few feet between us.
I felt my other leg crack. Then my arms.
"Bella, what's going on?!?"
I screamed in pain as my spine reshaped itself.
But the worst of it all, was my skull. Breaking. And reforming.
My clothing tore, but I barely noticed through all the pain.
I looked up, and I saw a predator, it looked like stone. Unnatural, and dangerous. It was white, still and wide-eyed.
It was distracted by something. I took this as an opportunity to pounce. As I had it under my paws, about to attack. It ran, really fast, so fast it was a blur.
It had its back against a tree. I growled at it.
Epov.
I watched, as Bella's bones started to break. I rushed over to help, she was screaming in agony, yet there was nothing I could do. I backed away about a foot, not wanting to cause her pain by moving her.
I looked up, the screaming had stopped.
But, Bella wasn't there. In her place was a large Jaguar, with the same chocolate brown eyes.
My eyes widened. Then it pounced.
I didn't want to hurt her, so I ran back, she growled at me.
"Bella, Bella please. Bella please don't attack me" I pleaded.
But she didn't react. She stalked toward me, as if I were prey.
Bpov -wednesday- (canonically this is Thursday) March 2nd.
I woke up the next morning in my bed. Unsure of how I got there, I stood up. Only to realize I was naked, and also covered in dirt.
I walked to the bathroom. There were sticks and leaves in my hair. I turned on the shower, and stepped inside.
I got out of the shower feeling refreshed. I got dressed, and made breakfast. I was really hungry today, I ate a lot.
I got to school. I hadn't seen any of the Cullen's yet. Weird.
My classes passed quickly.
It was lunch, I looked over at the Cullen table, Surprised to see only Edward there.
I ate my lunch, and got lost in thought.
The bell rang.
I went over to biology. Edwards' chair was leaning as far away as it did that very first day.
I went over to sit down. He tensed as if he was preparing to be attacked.
He looked like he was scared and sad. Why?
"Edward?" I whispered in a very quiet voice, that I knew he would hear.
He flinched when he heard me talk.
I thought about anything I could've done to make him act this way, but I came up blank.
When class ended, before he could run out I talked to him.
"Edward, we need to talk." I said, and I made eye contact with him for the first time today.
I looked into his eyes, and I felt like he was my world, like he was my purpose in life, like he was my home, like he replaced gravity, now he was holding me to the earth.
I focused on what was going on, after being lost in thought for a second.
He looked… frightened? He nodded.
"Now." I said. He nodded in response.
We walked outside, to my truck.
"Bella, what happened last night?" He asked, in a frightened voice.
"What do you mean?"
"When you were yelling, and your bones broke and then you turned into a Jaguar. And then you pounced on me. I had to climb a tree to make sure you didn't attack me!"
"I remember going on a walk, and then my leg broke… and then I woke up in my bed." I said.
"We should talk about this in a non-public place." I said.
He nodded, we both got into my truck, and I drove home.
We stood outside my house. Edward looked scared.
"Why are you scared?" I asked.
"Bella.. you attacked me. And growled at me." He said.
"Edward, I don't know what's happening. I'm sorry." I said, tears forming in my eyes.
He immediately hugged me, comforting me.
We were about to open the front door when;
Crack. Pain shot through me, as my arm broke and reshaped itself.
Stay in control stay in control stay in control.
Don't attack anyone, don't attack anyone, don't attack anyone.
Be harmless, be harmless, be harmless.
I chanted to myself, -like a spell almost.- over and over.
Epov.
I watched as Bella's bones broke, again. I picked her up. Running into the forest.
Bella's screams stopped, I looked back to where she was, expecting a Jaguar.
Instead I saw a tiny brown cat. The cat's fur was a light brown, the same as her hair.
It hissed at me. It's eyes wide. Backing away slowly.
"Bella? Bella it's me, Edward." I said.
She stood still for a moment, then her eyes widened in recognition.
She slowly padded forward. Falling down a couple times.
I stood still, afraid to frighten her.
Bpov
The strange pale, predatory creature spoke to me.
"Bella? Bella it's me, Edward" it said.
It was Edward. My Edward.
I just hissed at him, what was wrong with me?
I slowly walked forward. Still trying to get used to walking on four legs.
I think I'm a small cat. I definitely have small legs.
After what felt like forever, I finally made it over to where Edward was, he was sitting perfectly still, crisscrossing.
I jumped up into him, putting my front paws on his knee. And climbing into his lap.
"Bella? Is that you?" He asked, quietly.
I tried to say yes, but it was a mew.
He chuckled slightly.
He started petting me, and gently scratching me. I started purring.
He chuckled again.
"Do you know why you're a cat? Last time you were a Jaguar." he asked.
I tried to say no, but I meowed instead.
"Can you turn back?" He asked.
I did my best to shake my head no.
He took a deep breath."Do you wanna stay at my house? Until you can shift back?" he asked.
I nodded my head yes, to the best of my ability.
"Close your eyes" he said, as he held me and stood up. I felt wind rushing past my fur, then it came to a stop.
I opened my eyes. We were in front of a really really big house.
Out of all the meeting the parents' situation, I think this one is the worst.
Edward walked inside, to be greeted by Alice.
"Your future disappeared! What happened!" She screeched.
What does she mean by that? I thought to myself.
It hurt my ears, I buried my head deeper into Edwards arm.
She must've noticed me then, because I heard a gasp.
"How? Animals are scared of us!" She asked.
I popped my head out of the space between Edwards torso, and arm. And turned to look at Alice.
Edward smiled his inhumanly perfect crooked smile, and set me down on the floor.
I walked over to Alice, about halfway there when I heard noises. I looked up to see five people in the room.
I froze.
I ran back over to Edward, who picked me up.
All of them looked at me and Edward in disbelief.
"It's hard to explain." He said.
He looked down at me and asked. "Can I tell them?" I nodded my head yes, to the best of my ability. Making all the people in the room even more confused.
"So uh, yesterday me and Bella went on a walk, and then her bones started breaking, and her bones reshaped themselves. And then she grew some fur, and became a Jaguar."
"She also tried to attack me, but she doesn't remember anything past her bones starting to break." He explained.
"She chased me up a tree." he muttered. Earning a booming laugh from Emmett.
"And today after school, we were talking about what happened yesterday and then her bones started breaking again," he continued.
"Then she turned into a cat." he said as he scratched behind my ears, causing me to purr.
Edward put me down into the ground, where I sat down, looking up at the six people, all very tall from my point of view, might I add.
"Can she turn back?" Carlisle asked.
"I should take her home, Charlie will be back soon. But maybe Bella can come back again soon." He said.
Alice petted me on the head. "Bye bye" she said.
Edward picked me up and took me home.
Once we were in my room, I tried to turn back again.
Human I thought to myself.
My bones started to break, it hurt, but I let it happen instead of fighting the pain. That made it quicker.
"Are you okay?" He asked. He was sitting on my bed.
"Yea" I said. I looked at myself, I was sitting down weirdly on my bedroom floor, naked.
I think me and Edward noticed at the same time, because suddenly he was standing, with his face against my bedroom wall.
"Do you want me to go?" He asked, his voice muffled a bit due to his face being against the wall.
"No. Just in case, whatever just happened, happens again." I said.
"Okay." He said.
"I'm gonna, shower and stuff." I said, grabbing clothes and walking to the bathroom.
"Okay"
I got out of the bathroom, dressed.
Me and Edward went to the kitchen, I made myself a large bowl of spaghetti.
I went to bed not long after.
MARCH 3rd THURSDAY.
I woke up, and got ready for school.
I ate breakfast, eggs and bacon.
I walked outside, and saw Jacob black. I was happy, until I realized he smelled, and looked different.
He didn't smell human.
A.N:I hope you liked it! Reviews are very much appreciated, and criticism, constructive or not, would be amazing!
