Hey all! Here is an installment in my Do you Believe series! Be looking for a new chapter for "Do you Believe in Fate?" as well as my new Seth X Carrie story coming out soon entitled "Do you Believe in Love?" and if it absolutely can't leave me alone, although I don't want to start it yet, a Jacob X Oc story entitled "Do you Believe in Miracles?"

For those of you who haven't read my Do you Believe in Fate? story, it's not necessary to understand what is going on here, although I'm certainly not going to tell you not to read it! I hope that you all enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight and I'm not making any profit off of this story. I also don't own the movie Jumanji. I do own my character Essie and the Lafayette 'universe.'

One Bad Day:

"If outside is so good. Why has mankind spent thousands of years trying to perfect inside?"
- Sheldon Cooper

The sweet sound of the rain as it falls through the trees has always been comforting to me. The light pitter patter of the drops as it lands on the canopy of the trees soothes away any trouble that I may have. Of course I've always preferred to be inside when it rains, but unfortunately; I have spent the last few days wandering aimlessly around the forest, half of the time drenched and the other half freezing, therefore I don't particularly care much for the incessant clatter or cold or general wetness that comes with the rain. Now I've lived in Lafayette for the last couple of years therefore I have gotten used to the rain, however, I do not venture into the rain.

However, I do apparently have more tolerance for the rain when I am human...

I heave a sigh as I look down at my muddy paws hoping against hope that I will either find the edge of this forest or the spell with wear off soon.

Currently I'm holding out more luck for the spell since this forest never seems to end.

Ever.

I hear a sudden pounding in the woods, which I have also gotten used to, before one of those huge wolf- horse things come running toward me. Yesterday I almost got stepped on by one...mangy bastard...

I turn and glare in the direction that the pounding is coming from and vaguely feel like I'm in the movie Jumanji before I see the tell tale signs of the beasts running in my direction.

This time, however, I am surprised when the wolf's gait slows and right before my very eyes the wolf transforms himself into a man!

...A naked man!

In order to preserve some kind of decency, I turn the opposite direction only to see several more wolves become men, naked men, and I flip out and close my eyes while putting a tiny white paw over my eyes.

I can hear the sound of whooping and laughing before the sound of zippers, which hopefully means they are now clothed, before I peek out from under my paw and in the direction these man wolves have gone. Its at this time that I notice that up on the hill is a house with smoke coming out of the chimney. Walking up the hill towards the house are the men laughing and bumping each other in friendly fights. I quickly realize that this could be my shot at getting help!

Maybe... just maybe... they are like me!

I rush after them as fast as my tiny paws will carry me. It doesn't take long for fatigue to set in, after all it has been days since I've eaten, since I refused to catch anything. I'm a lady! Like hell I'm eating a mouse! I grumble under my breath as I continue up the hill and towards the house. I can see the men walking into the cozy home, the scent of food wafts from the door before it is abruptly shut. They may as well have shut the pearly gates to Heaven with how sad it makes me.

I walk up to the door and look forlornly into the confides of the house to see the russet skinned wolf men sitting around a table...eating. Without knowing what I am doing I begin to yowl. I'm vaguely aware that I sound like I'm dying, and perhaps I am, but I don't care all I want is to be warm and dry and fed!

...I'm not meant to be outside...

It doesn't take long before the door is opened and standing before me is a woman. She is quite pretty, the only thing that mars her perfect skin are three long jagged scars reaching from right under her eye down her cheek. I study her for a moment before deciding that the scars give her character and a kind of wild beauty that many of us would never be able to pull off, but ironically suits her. I watch her face carefully, after all I am tiny and bad things happen to tiny creatures, but the only thing that happens is her face literally melts at the sight of me and she bends down to pick me up.

I suppress a groan, I'm not a big fan of being touched by people, let alone having someone I don't even know hold me. However, I'll deal with it if she feeds me.

"What is it Emily?" questions a deep rough voice behind her. I look over her shoulder to see a large man, one from the forest no doubt, craning his neck to see me.

"It's a kitten!" she exclaims in glee as she turns around to show me off to the man.

"Really?!" exclaims an excited voice, "can I see?!"

I'm suddenly plucked from the arms of the woman and pressed against a hot chest. I look up into the dark eyes of the male now holding me. He has a bright smile and just radiates happiness. Also... he's very warm. I find myself cuddling into the place under his neck so to alleviate the chill that has set in my bones.

"Awww poor thing is freezing!" exclaims the boy before pulling me to him tighter, wrapping one large arm around my tiny body engulfing me in warmth.

"Aww it really is cute, Claire has been wanting a kitten you know..." says one boy as he begins to scratch me behind the ears while putting his face in mine.

'Oh no... I am no pet,' I think before letting out a feral hiss effectively making him draw his hand back and several of the boys laugh.

"Ha! It doesn't like you!" exclaims a boy as he takes the place of the other one a wide smile on his handsome face. Suddenly, the boy freezes as he looks at me in utmost awe.

"Embry? Dude?" says the boy holding me unsurely.

"...Did you just imprint on a...cat?!" exclaims one of the boys.

"I-I don't know..." he murmur before reaching to take me from the one holding me. I resist the urge to roll my eyes as he holds me close to him whispering soothing words to me.

I pull back from him and look him dead in the eye before meowing at him. Which translates into 'keep your words man! I'm hungry!'

"Maybe shes hungry?" questions Embry as he holds me happily to him stroking my fur. He better be lucky I haven't washed it today... or I'd eat him...

I can hear the guys making fun of him as he brings me to the table full to the brim with food. I can feel my mouth water and my eyes widen at the 11 course meal in front of me. He picks up a paper plate from the edge of the table and fills it with some of the pork from the plate in the center, before setting it in front of me.

I hear a forlorn sigh as he sets me down on the floor beside of the table before he looks up and punches at the male beside of him still making comments about it.

"Shut up dude!" Embry yells punching the guy in the arm, "I didn't imprint on a cat!"

Imprint? He's not a freaking baby duck... the hell?

"It sure looked like you did!" laughs another.

I watch, with a mouth full of food, as Embry starts to vibrate. My eyes narrow and I sense it...danger.

Regardless of my want for the delicious pork in front of me I'm running in the direction of the nearest couch before I watch the guys lead the shaking Embry from the room.

I'm suddenly beginning to wonder if this was such a good idea now... I didn't think of the consequences of being in a house full of wolf men, but I thought that if I transform back to a human they at least wouldn't freak out...as much. I hadn't thought that I would get eaten or trampled!

I hear a world weary sigh before a female murmurs, "you can come out now..."
I crawl out from under the couch and look up at the women who let me in.

She gives a kind disarming smile before she bends down and looks at me.

"That's odd..." she murmurs to herself, "I didn't think it was possible for the boys to imprint on animals..."

I roll my eyes, I am no animal. I decide to ignore her and walk back over toward my food, unfortunately in the haste to get Embry out of the room they had overturned my plate spilling all of my food out onto the hardwood floor. I sit and stare at it wondering if I can eat it. My stomach grumbles and I bow my head to try, before the thought of precisely how much bacteria is on the floor rushes through my mind and I jerk my head back. No I can't do it!

I know she is watching me curiously, but I can't bring myself to care. I'm not an animal and I refuse to act as such just to keep up a charade I don't even want to, so I jump up on the chair before putting my front paws on the table. Sitting in front of me is Embry's plate, heaped high with food barely touched. I hear a howl in the forest and somehow doubt he will be coming back anytime soon, so I bow my head down and dig in.

So... How did you like it? Tell me in a Review!
