Dark Side Of The Moon

Chapter 5

Back in Seattle,

Riley is pissed, he was so close to getting Katherine, but those stupid wolves kept him away from her. Riley wanted to have Katherine changed into a vampire by her birthday, but her birthday is tomorrow. What was Riley to do? He couldn't face Victoria right now, he needed to fix this and fast.

But before Riley could fix it, Victoria found him.

"You didn't get her?!" Victoria growls.

Riley shook his head no.

"I should rip your head off! You keep failing to get your little plaything. Either get her and change her or I will find her and kill her myself!" Victoria growls and storms out of the room.

Riley is worried that he won't get to have Katherine as a vampire with him.

What Riley doesn't know is, that if he changes Katherine, he will be killing Paul in the process.

Back in La Push,

Katherine and Paul are still sitting on the beach enjoying each other's company. As they sit on the beach watching the waves come and go. The sun is starting to go down behind the horizon.

Paul looks at Katherine and can't believe that he got so lucky and imprinted on such a beautiful girl. Paul checks the time on his phone and sees it is time to go back to the house.

"Come on we have to go," Paul says to Katherine.

Katherine nods her head and goes to stand up but falls right back down before Paul can grab her and help her up, she is on her back looking up at him. They both burst into laughter.

"You all, right?" Paul asks still laughing.

"Yeah, I just bumped my arm."

"We can get some ice for it when we get back."

Paul helps pull Katherine back up and they start to walk back to the house, but before they can make it off the beach Jake and Bella catch up with them.

"Katherine, this is Jake and Bella. Bella is Jake's imprint." Paul tells Katherine.

"Nice to meet you. You can call me Kat."

"Nice to meet you as well Kat, my dad mentioned that you are looking for a job?" Bella says to Kat.

"Yeah. Looks like I am here to stay." Paul sighed in relief.

"I think you will be good for Paul. But the job is yours, as soon as your arm is healed."

"I assume that since Riley is after me there will be someone with me at all times?" Kat asks Paul and Jake

"Not just you will always have someone with you. But Bella as well, will also have some with her." Paul tells Kat.

"Why does Bella need to be protected? If you don't mind me asking?" Kat asks the group.

"Bella has a vampire after her as well," Jake tells Kat.

Kat looks at Bella in shock.

"It's a long story, I will tell you about it later."

As they walk back to the house with Bella and Jake, Kat can't help but run scenarios through her head. Before she can say anything to Bella, Jake, or Paul they are back at the house, and everyone is outside waiting for them to join the festivities. Paul leads Kat over to a group of people who could be the parents of the wolves. All but one smiles when they get there.

"Kat these are the Elders of the tribe. Besides Charlie and the imprints that know we even exist." Paul tells Kat.

A woman with long black hair stepped up to Kat and Paul.

"Hi, I am Sue Clearwater. I am Leah and Seth's mom."

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Clearwater," Kat says to Sue.

Jake walks over and pushes a man in a wheelchair over to them.

"Hello sweetheart, I am Billy Black, and I am the chief of this tribe, that is until Jacob takes for himself.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Black. You can call me Kat."

Next was the grumpy-looking man with a walking stick. He walks up to Kat and Paul and looks at her up and down and then huffs angrily.

"So, you are the imprint that the spirits have chosen for young Mr. Lahote. I hope you can hold your own because Mr. Lahote is an angry one. He is always shredding his clothes."

"Sorry, he gets this way when there is danger near," Sue tells Kat.

"I didn't mean to bring danger to the tribe, I was just trying to get away from my abusive boyfriend. I wanted to live and not die at his hand." Kat tells Sue with tears in her eyes.

"Oh sweetie, it's not you that Old Quil is angry at, it is that two of the imprints to this tribe, the future mothers of wolves to come are in danger. That is all it is." Sue tells Kat.

Kat nods at Sue. But soon hears what sounds like growling. She looks over at Paul and sees him shaking and growling. Kat feels someone grab her by the shoulders and yank her backward towards them. She then sees Jake and the rest of whom she thinks are wolves pull Paul into the woods behind the house. Kat then hears a new sound, the sound of a small child crying. She looks over and sees a small child no older than six years old at Emily's feet. Emily picks up the small child and sits down with her in her lap comforting the small girl.

Kat was worried about Paul, and what was happening in the woods. Kat sees another girl looking just as worried as she is. Kat walks over to the girl.

"Hi, I am Kat. I am Paul's girlfriend."

"Hi, I am Kim Whitefeather. I am Jared Cameron's girlfriend."

Then the little girl came over and handed a flower to each of the girls. She saw Kat's hurt arm and leaned in a kissed it.

"Better all better." The little girl says to Kat.

"Yes sweetie, all better," Kat says to the little girl.

Bella comes over and the little girl runs to her, and Bella picks her up.

"You look after Kat's booboo Claire?" Bella asks the little girl.

The little girl nodded her head and hugged Bella.

"Kat, this is Claire Young she is Quil's imprint."

"Hi, Claire. I am Kat."

"Kitty!"

Just then the guys came walking out of the woods, the imprinted wolves walking to their mates. Jake to Bella, Sam to Emily, Jared to Kim, and Quil to Claire. But Kat didn't see Paul. Jake was whispering something to Bella. Bella looked over at Kat. Bella walks over to Kat.

"Let's take a walk," Bella says to Kat.

They walk to the beach and sit on the same driftwood log.

"It all started when I was 17, my mom got married to a minor league baseball player Phil Dwyer. I was still in school so my mom couldn't travel with Phil to his games, which made my mom very unhappy. So, I decided to move in with my dad. I moved here during winter break in 2005. On my first day at Forks High School, I met Edward Cullen in my Biology class. He was acting very strangely. At the end of the day, I was walking out of the school when I passed the office only to discover Edward in the office trying to get out of our biology class. After that day I didn't see Edward in school for the whole week until one day he was sitting at our desk waiting to introduce himself to me. So, after I found out from Jake about the cold ones, Jake thought it was just a myth. But it all fit he was pale white but beautiful almost dazzling, he was cold to the touch and didn't come out in the sunlight because they didn't want to give themselves away. Shortly after discovering that he was a vampire, we started to date. One day it was storming and when it stormed the Cullens liked to play baseball, while they played baseball, Alice one of Edward's "sisters" had a vision that some nomad vampires were coming. That day I met James, Laurent, and Victoria. James was a tracker, and he chose me to play his tracking game with. I ran home and told Charlie that I wanted to go back to Arizona, and I left and went to Arizona with Alice and Jasper we held up in a hotel room until I received a phone call from who I thought was my mother, but it was just James making me think he had my mother and that he was going to kill her if I didn't come to the dance studio. So, I slipped away from Alice and Jasper and went to the dance studio. As soon as I got into the dance studio James started to torture me until he was satisfied that I was close to death and then he bit me which sent his venom into my veins. Soon the Cullens arrived and saved me from being drained dry. Edward sucked the venom out, almost draining me dry in the process. After two months of healing, Edward convinced me to go to our prom after a lot of protesting from me. But when we got to the school Jacob was there waiting for me, Jacob tried to talk me into breaking up with Edward, but I wouldn't listen to him."

Bella took a break from telling her story to Kat.

"On my birthday in 2005, the Cullens threw me a birthday party, I didn't want a birthday party, but they threw me one anyway. After school, I went home, and sitting on my bed was a box that contained a green dress with black flowers on it. I wore the dress to the Cullens' house. When I got there Alice snapped a picture of me and Edward and then I was handed an envelope, in the process of opening it I got a paper cut which sent bloodlust towards the empathy in the room which he couldn't control himself and went after me, which caused Edward to push me backward onto a table full of glass plates which cut my arm and made me bleed even more. It took Carlise and Emmett to hold Jasper back. Once all the vampires but one were out of the house I was cleaned up and stitched up by the head of the Cullen family Carlise. Once Carlise was done stitching me up Edward took me home. He didn't want to stay the night with me like he usually did. The following week at school I didn't see any of the Cullens. Until one day Edward was waiting outside of my house. Edward took me outback of my house into the woods and broke up with me. He said it would be as if he never existed and then he just left me there and I got lost trying to go after him. It started to rain, and I got wet and cold, so I lay down on the ground. When my dad got home from work, he found a note saying that I had gone on a walk with Edward. But here is the thing I never left a note, the note was from Edward. When Charlie couldn't find me in the house, he got worried that something had happened. So, he called up his best friend Billy Black. Billy called Sam Uley and Sam, being a wolf came out with Paul and Jared Cameron to find me. Billy had thought that the Cullen boy had hurt me or worse killed me, which would end the treaty. Sam tracked me and found me face down in the mud, Sam picked me up and carried me back to my dad at the edge of the woods. Charlie took me into the house, put me on the couch, and put on a heavy blanket. I fell into a deep depression, hardly eating, having nightmares and just going through the motions. That was until my dad got tired of it and threatened to send me to live with my mom again. I started to come down to La Push to hang out with Jake, I would help him work on the Volkswagen Rabbit or even my truck. One day I came down and I couldn't find Jacob anywhere. The weeks went on and still no Jacob. One day I was down here, and I spotted Jacob walking across his yard in the rain. I pulled up and jumped out of my truck and confronted him about his disappearance. What I didn't know was that when Jacob looked me in the eyes, he imprinted on me. But instead of telling me everything he just told me to leave. So instead of arguing with him I just left. I was heartbroken, my best friend didn't want anything to do with me. I was slowly slipping back into zombie Bella and nobody, not even me, wanted that. One day I was so depressed that I went to the cliffs and thought about jumping, but before I could jump Jacob was there to save the day like always. Just a little way up the coast from where I was standing, the wolves were chasing Victoria, but they didn't know she was after me. That same day Jake took me back to his house and while Jake helped his dad do something I saw Sam, Paul, and Embry walk out of the woods. So, I went and confronted them. I asked Sam what he did to Jake, and that he didn't want to be part of his "little gang." Paul put his two cents in, and I slapped Paul across the face. Paul began to shake and growl, Sam told me to get back and I took off running that is when Jake came running out of the house and jumped over me and phased, and when I turned around two wolves were fighting, and rolling around on the ground going towards the woods. I sat there in shock when Jared Cameron and Embry Call came over making a joke about the wolf being out of the bag. They took me to Emily Young. As we hung out in Emily's kitchen, Sam, Paul, and Jacob came back. Jake took me down to the beach and told me everything. He told me that he would be whatever I wanted him to be. I told him that I would think about it. It took me a month to decide that I wanted a life and a future with Jake."

Bella takes another break and looks out over the water and back at Kat.

"Soon after Jake and I started to date, the Cullens returned, and Edward wanted me back. But I told him that I was a wolf girl now and he got pissed and told me that the wolves were dangerous and unpredictable. I get it he is furious over the situation. But he is back and that scares me because I don't know what he is capable of. I used to sleep with my window open so that Edward could get in and lay next to me. But now when Jake wants to come spend the night with me, he must text or call me beforehand so that I can unlock my window when he gets there. So that Edward can't get into my room.
