Notes:
I got the idea of Bella liking shiny rocks and collecting them like a crow from in light of the full moon/ in the full moons light stopthemadness, which is an amazing fanfiction and you should read it if you haven't. Like seriously. It also has a sequel (it's a W.I.P) but it's literally amazing
also, this is a edited version because I decided that it needed more detail and stuff.
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)
I woke up to the sickly sweet scent that I now recognized as vampire. There was an undertone of something that I couldn't quite place though… As I thought about it, I recognized the smell of dusty books, with a hiby of old writing ink.
I lifted my head up, and looked around my room.
I, as expected, saw Carlisle walking in.
"Hello Bella, I am sorry to disturb you. I'm just here to check on your healing." Carlisle said.
I nodded the best I could.
After about fifteen minutes of Carlisle checking my reflexes, and asking if my legs hurt, as well as him taking my heart rate and stuff, he was done.
"You've healed a tremendous amount! At your current rate you should be fully healed in a few days." He said.
"You can start walking, in fact, I recemend you get some exercise in, to stretch out your muscles." Carlisle advised.
I nodded, and Carlisle swiftly left the room. I could hear him telling the same as he told me to dad and Jake, before excusing himself to the hospital.
I got out of bed, and started walking down the stairs. Two steps in, I fell.
Jake caught me and carried me down the rest of the stairs while I childishly pouted.
I walked over to the couch, and laid down on it.
I overheard Charlie talking to Jake.
"Hey Jake, would it be, er, offensive if I, er, put water in a bowl for Bella?" Charlie asked with no small amount of awkwardness.
Jake laughed a bit. "No, it wouldn't be offensive." Jake replied.
Charlie came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of water and a bowl filled with leftover pizza, slightly sticking out so I could bite it better.
"Here, kiddo." He said, putting the bowls on the table.
I drank some of the water, and ate my pizza super fast.
"Hello?" I tested, expanding my mind.
"Yo, what's up?" Embry asked.
"Meh. I'm kinda bored to be honest." I thought at him.
"Dang." he thought.
"Yeah." I thought to him.
I walked over towards the front door, and started pacing in front of it.
"Are you on patrols?" I asked.
"Nah, why?" He thought.
"Could you come over here, and tell Charlie and Jake I wanna go outside?" I asked.
"Sure, gimme a few minutes." He thought, then phased.
I walked back over and drank the rest of my water.
There was a knock on the door.
Charlie answered.
"Yo, Chief Swan, Bella wanted me to tell you that she wants to go outside." Embry said.
"Uh, what's your name?" Charlie asked.
"Oh, sorry. I'm Embry, the wolf you met yesterday?"
"Ah, well, thanks for letting me know." He said, then turned to face me. "Bella?" I walked over, and tried my best to nod my head.
Charlie moved out of the way, and I walked out of the door.
I wished I could run, running has this inexplicable feeling, but the best word to describe it would be; "free."
I walked over to the forest.
I wasn't sure where I was going, I just felt that I needed to go this way.
I trotted, letting my mind guide me in a direction with an unknown destination that I felt inexplicably drawn to.
Eventually I heard the sound of water, I started speed walking the best a wolf could.
I found a beautiful river. Instead of the normal sand or gravel, the bottom was cluttered with pebbles and clusters of crystals.
It was magnificent and magical.
I spent a minute or two enjoying the beautiful sight that made up the river, before deciding to grab the crystals.
As I picked some of the smaller crystals up in my mouth, I felt energy course through my body.
I opened my mind to the pack.
"Guys, I found a bunch of pretty rocks and crystals!" I thought at the pack.
There was no response.
"WHY CAN'T SHE JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME?!?" Quil thought.
"WAIT, WHY DO I HAVE PAWS. WHAT THE FUCK?!?" he thought.
"Quil? Is that you?" I asked panickedly. I was unsure of how to handle a new wolf.
"Who are you? Why am I hearing voices? Oh god am I going insane?" he thought.
"No, you aren't insane, my name is Bella Swan, I'm Jacobs friend. This is why Jake and Embry haven't been hanging around you as much. You're a wolf now, a part of the pack." I thought at him.
I howled, aiming to get the attention of the other wolves. I was not disappointed.
"Bella?! Are you okay??" Jake thought worriedly.
"Quil just phased!" I thought at him.
"Yo, Quil! Sorry I haven't been around much. Wait, where are you?" Jake thought.
"I'm uh, in my living room." Quil thought while trying his hardest not to succumb to the panic enveloping his mind, the rapid stream of emotions flying through at an impossible pace.
"Shit-balls. You've gotta get out of there, and into the forest, okay? Me and Bella can meet you somewhere. Sam is gonna phase soon." Jake thought.
"Sam Uley??" Quil thought
"Yeah, he's kinda the alpha." Jake thought.
"So- OOH that's a shiny rock!! Is that a green aventurine??" I thought, feeling drawn to the green rock.
"Yeah! Wow, where are you? Those are some pretty rocks." Quil thought, while remembering a crystal identification sheet that he had lost a while ago.
"I'm at the river in the forest next to my house!" I thought, hoping this was enough to distract him from his new canine body.
"I'm heading over there! I see a small geode!" Quil thought, while running over here.
"Oh my gosh, do you guys see the size of that rose quartz? It's buried in the ground too!"
I thought.
I shut the pack out. I walked into the water, and started scratching at the dirt next to the rose quartz.
Once I had it slightly uncovered, I started pulling it out using my mouth.
It came out of the ground.
I walked over to put it in the growing pile of crystals
I let the pack in again, realizing it wasn't smart to leave Jake with a new wolf, especially since I was doing good calming Quil down.
"I have successfully captured the rose quartz." I thought triumphantly.
"Bella, I'm here!" Quil thought, I looked around, he was to my left.
"I'm here, Quil phased?" Sam thought.
"Yeah, but me and him are digging up pretty rocks." I thought.
Then, in a poof of smoke, the chocolate brown wolf disappeared. And there was a naked human Quil.
I looked away, aware that if I was in my human form there would be a pink blush covering my face.
"He just phased back. Can you bring him clothes?" I thought.
"Yeah, I have a spare set with me." Sam thought.
Soon, Sam, Jake, and Embry were all at the river.
"Can anyone help me carry these back home?" I asked, motioning to the Crystals.
"How the fuck did you find so many shiney rocks?" Jake thought.
"Bella, what rock is this?" Embry thought.
"That would be a tiger's eye." I thought, not knowing how I knew, but knowing that I was right.
Eventually, all of us were looking for pretty rocks, and crystals.
"We should all go home." Sam thought.
"Can you guys help me carry the rocks? We should put them somewhere" I thought.
"Sorry Bella, I gotta go talk with the elders." Sam thought, and then he ran off.
"Uh, I gotta go uh, water my goldfish." Embry thought.
"I'm gonna go uh, make sure Embry doesn't drown his goldfish" Quil thought.-he had phased back after realizing that I had seen him naked- Then ran off into the trees.
"I uh, I gotta-" Jake started thinking.
"Oh hell no. You know I can't phase yet, you're carrying everything." I thought.
"Awww come on!" Jake thought,
Jake then phased. While I was looking at him.
I turned around immediately. As he got dressed.
Jake grabbed the rocks, and carried them back home. I was trotting along, a few feet away from him, on his left side.
"Jake, what's with all the rocks?" Charlie asked, when we got inside.
Jacob sighed dramatically, then said; "somehow, your daughter got most of the pack interested in collecting rocks. Everyone else ran away before they had to carry them."
There was a knock on the door. Along with the same scent from the morning.
Carlisle.
Charlie got the door.
"Hello, chief Swan, I'm here to check on Bella?" Carlisle said.
Charlie mumbled a reply.
"Hello Bella, I wanted to see how you're doing. Based on your healing rates, you should be able to phase by tomorrow."
I barked at Carlisle.
He turned to face me.
"Bella? Are you okay?" He asked.
I nodded my head.
"Uh, if you guys want I can go phase, so I can figure out what she's trying to say." Jake offered.
"That would be very appreciated, thank you Jacob." Carlisle said.
Jake walked towards the woods.
"Bella?" Jake thought.
"Hi" I thought.
"So, why'd you bark at doctor leech?" Jake thought.
"Dude! That's not nice. Also, I was trying to ask if I could go to the Cullen's house?" I thought.
"I'm gonna phase back." Jake thought.
Jake walked back inside.
"She wants to know if she can go over to your house." He said, to Carlisle.
"Of course! Bella is welcome at our house any time. Would that be okay with you, Chief Swan?" Carlisle asked.
"Sure, I guess. You gonna sleep over? It's already seven." Charlie asked.
My tail was wagging super fast.
I barked, and did my best to nod my head yes.
Carlisle chucked.
"Would you like me to drive you?" Carlisle asked.
I shook my head no.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Chief Swan." Carlisle said, as he walked towards the front door.
Me and Carlisle walked through the front door.
He walked to his black Mercedes, and I ran towards the forest.
I jogged to the Cullen's house.
As I was walking through the forest, I found a really big stick, and I gnawed on it.
After a few minutes, I was in the trees next to their home.
I ran up to the front door.
My tail was wagging super fast.
I yipped a few times and Esme opened the door.
"Hello, Bella?" She asked.
I yipped, and nodded my head.
"Come inside dear." She said, opening the door further.
As I was walking inside, I heard multiple sets of footsteps going down the stairs.
Edward appeared in front of me super fast.
I barked out of surprise.
He spooked me.
"Bella, dear. Why are you chewing on a stick?" He asked.
Then I saw Emmett appear next to Edward.
Emmett laughed.
"Jaz! You gotta see this!" Emmett yelled.
Jasper appeared next to Emmett.
"Bella, you should probably leave the stick outside." Edward said.
I walked outside, and put the stick right next to the front door.
"Jaz, don't you think that that is a very large dog in our house?" Emmett asked Jasper, teasingly.
Jasper rolled his eyes, but played along.
"Why yes, Emmett. There is a very large dog in our house." he joked, he slightly had a southern accent I hadn't noticed before.
"Do you think it's a stray?" Emmett asked, in a joking way.
"Maybe we should ask Alice if it's hers," Jasper said, while rolling his eyes.
Alice flitted down the stairs.
"Awww!" She said. Then started petting me, and scratching between my ears.
"Alice, is this your very large puppy?" Emmett asked, jokingly.
"No, but mayb-" Alice started, but Edward interrupted her.
"Ah, this is my six foot puppy." Edward said, scooping me up in his arms.
He nuzzled his face in my fur.
"Mine." He said, his voice muffled.
He then carried me up the stairs.
Edward walked into what I assumed was his bedroom, and set me down on his couch.
"You are very fluffy." He said, rubbing his face in my fur.
I was hungry.
I expanded my mind, enveloping it around Edward.
"Follow." I thought.
"Okay." He said.
"Can you take me down the stairs? I don't wanna fall." I thought, before closing my mind.
He carried me down the stairs.
I led him outside.
We walked towards the forest, where we wandered until I heard a herd of deer.
My ears twitched.
I saw the herd, they were in a small opening. I spied on them through the undergrowth.
I followed my instincts.
I locked my eyes on my target. The largest buck in the herd.
I stalked my prey.
Once I had the opportunity, I pounced. Snapping its neck fast.
I clawed into the buck's chest cavity, and ate its heart.
I loved the way its hot, tender flesh felt in my mouth.
Next I ripped open the rest of its torso, and ate its liver, spleen, and kidneys.
Once I was done with the buck, I shook out my fur.
I saw that Edward looked scared and startled, so I froze, trying eing to think of a way not to scare him.
He hesitantly, and slowly, stepped forward.
"Bella?" he asked, quietly.
I ran toward him, and laid my head down on his lap.
He looked startled at first, but then petted my head.
I opened my mind to him.
"Follow"
I thought to him.
I stood up on all four legs, and Edward stood up on his two. I closed my eyes and focused on my hearing. I heard water. I ran towards the sound, discovering a very pretty river.
I laid in the river, and rolled around a bit, trying to get all of the blood out of my fur.
Eventually, Edward realized what I was doing and he walked over to help.
After a bit, we had all of the blood out of my fur.
We both stood up and got out of the river.
I shook out my fur, spraying water everywhere.
Me and Edward walked back to the house.
Edward carried me up the stairs, and into his room.
I jumped onto his bed, and walked in small circles, trying to get comfortable, then I laid down.
Edward covered me with his blanket, and he brushed my fur.
I dozed off.
