Vampires, Wolves, What Else

I took a deep breath noticing that I was either led on the sofa or a bed.

"She is waking up." Somebody spoke, it sounded like Paul but the voice was slightly more softer.

I suddenly felt a warm hand take mine, causing my hand and arm to warm up fast.

"Bella! Can you open your eyes for me." I recognised Sam's voice immediately.

Then I remembered, I was back in the supernatural world again, this time with a bunch of people that could turn into giant wolves. I opened my eyes and saw Sam's worried face close to mine.

"Are you ok?" He asked, still holding my hand.

"Yep" then something occurred to me, I didn't know if it was the shock or just general curiosity.

"How long was I lost in the forest?"

"Um, when did you go in there? Sam asked, looking confused

"Straight after school, once I parked my truck on the drive."

"About five hours"

Then I laughed, I spent five hours in the real world lost in the forest. Now I'm back in the supernatural world. He was wrong, I knew deep inside that my life would always belong in the supernatural world. You can't step inside it and then step back out, once you're in you are in.

"What's funny about that?" I heard Jacob ask.

"Bella do you need to see a doctor?" Sam asked, squeezing my hand a bit harder.

"No, he was wrong." I replied, before breaking down into tears.

I felt myself being lifted up and placed onto a warm lap, any other time I knew that I would be embarrassed and turn the brightest shade of red. I didn't care, I needed somebody to hold me. The tears wouldn't stop, even when one side of my face was leaning against a warm chest.

"Let it all out Bella." Sam whispered, realise as his arms went around whose lap I was sat on.

I lost track of time, but at some point somebody else took my hands and lightly squeezed them. This action caused me to look around, to see who it was.

"Hi Bella, I'm Embry, I'm sorry if I scared you."

"You didn't scare me, hearing about what you all could do and then actually seeing it was a bit of a shock."

"Was probably too soon, and I'm sorry for that. " Sam spoke " you would of realised pretty soon that there was something different about us".

"Why did you ask how long you were missing for" Embry suddenly asked.

"It doesn't matter." I replied shrugging my shoulders.

"Do you want to come to our house for a while?" Sam asked, before pulling me off of his lap and standing me up.

I really wasn't in the mood to be introduced to more people, I needed time to let this new stuff settle. I also had school work to do, if I could get that done really quick, then that would be something else taken off my mind.

I looked up to see them all staring at me, waiting for my answer. " No, I have school work to do, and I really need some time to get my head around all of this."

I started to feel guilty when all their faces dropped, but I just could deal with all of them at the same time. It was too much too soon.

"Bella?" Sam spoke, making just my name sound like a question.

"I just need time, it wasn't so long ago I thought I had been abandoned by the supernatural world, and I realise that apart from the few hours I was lost in the forest. I am still in the middle of it, its not a no never. Just not yet ok, I also need to do my school work, I don't want to fall behind."

"I will stay and keep her company until my dad gets back from work." Jacob suggested.

"Then bring her to the house after" Sam almost demanded.

I could feel my temper rising, I didn't want to be around more people, looking at me with pity. "Sam, I don't want to, not today."

I looked up at Sam, using my eyes to plead with him, not today.

I could see Sam's eyes soften a bit, as he bent down to look directly at me. "I will come and get you, and we can go out for some dinner. Being stuck in here," pointing to my head, "will get you nowhere."

I nodded my head, Sam lent forward and placed a soft kiss on my forehead before standing up right and walking towards the door.

"Jacob, let Bella do some school work, have lunch and then Bella I want you to have a break. An hour or two, catch up and then spend another hour of school work. I will be here by five."

I watched as Sam walked out the door shortly followed by Embry.

"So where do you want to do it?" Jacob asked.

"Huh, do what?" I asked confused.

"Your school work Bella, or do you want to watch a movie or something?"

"Oh yeah, school work." I replied, shaking my head.

"You ok?" He asked, kneeling in front of me.

"Yep, sorry just a lot to take in right now you know, information overload."

"If you have any questions I'm here or you can ask Sam later."

I nodded "ok, I'm going to do my school work in the bedroom." Before I got up and went into the bedroom shutting the door behind me.

I sat at the desk and tried to read the work I had been given but I wasn't taking it in and found myself reading the same sentence repeatedly. At some point I gave up and turned the chair so I could stare out the window.

Wolves, my mind went to the biology of it all, it just didn't make sense how a human being could completely change every aspect of themselves. Men changing into wolves are real, vampires are real, what else could possibly be real? I wonder what the government would do if they knew.

I jumped when there was a knock on the door and the door opened.

"It's lunch time so I brought you a turkey sandwich and a soda, did you get much done?" Jacob asked, placing the plate and can on the desk.

"No" I shrugged. "Too many thoughts going through my head."

"If you have any questions, just ask?" He offered again.

I nodded, before taking a bite out of the sandwich. I ate in silence, only slightly aware when the door clipped shut and Jacob left me to my own thoughts.

Bored with staring out the bedroom window, I eventually pulled out the school work and got started.

I wasn't aware of the time slipping by until there was a gentle knock on the door, and it opened, I looked up quickly noticing Jacob stood in the doorway.

"Bella, you have been in her for almost two hours, time for a break." Jacob spoke, walking into the room and taking a seat next to me on the bed, where I had moved when the chair at the desk became uncomfortable.

"Have you been able to do much?"

"Yes, I think enough for today." I replied while stretching, happy that I had at least done Math and English.

I really was not in the mood to do anymore; my brain was filled with questions about the wolves.

"Do you want to watch a movie, go for a walk, swim in the sea?" Jacob asked, after we had sat in silence for a while.

I chuckled at the swim in the sea comment, Bella Swan, always feeling the cold purposely swimming in ice cold water.

"Let's go for a walk down to the beach, definitely no swimming, I would never feel warm again." I suggested.

"I could always warm in you up, I now walk around about the same temperature as a space heater." Jacob replied, laughing.
