I do not own Twilight... It all belong to Stephanie Meyers!

CHAPTER ONE

Bella's POV

I laid in the thick grass, surrounded by trees. My breath was deep and I was hurting. My heart felt as though it was being torn to shreds. Tears never did me justice, so I kept them in. My Edward didn't want me anymore. He had left Forks and he'd left me. I hugged myself, not wanting to breath. It would have been simpler just to kill me, so I wouldn't have to feel the ache I felt now. Breathing felt different, like I needed to gasp. A few times, I felt as though I was getting dizzy. Turns out, I wasn't breathing for those moments. Slowly I felt my eyes getting heavier. I didn't want to live… A world without Edward was a world I didn't want. Slowly, my exhaustion gave way. I wasn't sure how long I'd been in the forest. I wasn't even truly aware where I was. I had attempted to follow him, but he'd left me, lost. I remembered one of my survivor classes my mum Rene put me in when I was little said if you were ever lost, stay in that spot. The more you moved, the less likely you were being found or at least, the harder it became. It was silly honestly, but I did it. I laid back into the cold ground. Darkness was soon around me, where I could barely see the night sky. I was shivering cold and alone. I really didn't think sleep would be so easy, but I suppose when you've had your heart broken, sleep is your only comfort.

"Bella…. Wake up." Came a deep voice. I tried to open my eyes, but they were so heavy, that the idea alone, made me tired… The only comfort to the voice, was the sudden warmth I would feel. The warmth was so wanting.
"Bella…." I heard called again. I didn't know who the voice belonged too, but it wasn't what I really cared about. The warmth was all I could feel, and it was a welcomed friend. It radiated around me, and I snuggled deeper towards it. I didn't know what it was, but I didn't care at this point. It helped me sleep so easily.

It was strange, I didn't usually dream, and if I did, it was really only nightmares. But the voices, they seemed so close, yet so far away.
"She's okay, she's cold." I didn't understand who the voice was talking about, but I knew it wasn't me, I felt warm. There were a few mumbled thank yous, but that was all I could tell you.

Sam's POV

I had heard the calls. The Chief of the police's daughter was missing. I had never met the girl, but I'd heard enough from Billy Black to know that she ran with vampires. I walked out of my house. Most of La Push were out talking about it. Some, like old Quil were worried about where the girl was, considering it was rumoured the doctor had resigned and the kids hadn't been seen. People were wondering if they had kidnapped her. I walked to old Quil. He looked at me, remaining silent, until we were alone.
"Paul is close to changing." I said to him. Old Quil nodded.
"Paul won't change tonight, so I need you to search for the Chiefs daughter. I need to know if the Cullen's did indeed take his child. If they did, the treaty no longer stands. Find what you can. I will have Paul monitored." He said softly. I gave him a nod.
"If they have taken Bella?" I asked softly. Old Quil let out a sigh.
"I will tell Billy. He is best friends with Bella's father. He may be able to break it gently to Charlie. Until then, I am heading with a few of our people to help search. People are still very nervous since Harry's death." He said walking to his old run down ute. I gave him a nod.
"I'll come about if I find anything." With that, I turned. I jogged towards the forest, stripping off my pants and quickly tying them to my leg. It was moments; I felt the urge of my inner wolf. I shaped into my dominant form. I was large, taller than a horse. My eye sight was sharp, my sense of smell heightened and my hearing could travel for a mile. I took into a run, heading to the borders of my land. I could already smell the stink of the Cullen's. They hadn't crossed the treaty line, but that didn't mean they were clean. I searched for the freshest trace, it was rather strange. It was late, and I knew the trace would fade faster as the night air turned freezing cold with moisture. I ran, jumping logs, and padding through the thick growth of the forests. I took in a deep inhale. I took in the smell of one of the Cullen males, and not only him. There was a slight smell of honey and milk. I was entranced with the smell. It wasn't over powering in any way but was soft and feminine. I moved towards the scent, ignoring the wreak of leeches. I made my way and stopped as my eyes laid on a sleeping form. The girl was shaking and quivering. I shaped back to my human form. I was tall, standing at 6.6 foot. My muscles were large and shaped thanks to my phasing. I now had the circle tattoo of the shape shifter on my right shoulder. According to old Quil, it's the symbol of responsibility, for those who are phased to protect the tribe. I knew that soon, Paul would share this also, as well as any other then phased. There were a few of the tribe boys in the process of phasing, my friends Jared Cameron and Paul Lahote. Soon Jacob Black, the grandson of our old Chief would follow. It turned out, he wasn't just chief though, he'd also been Alpha of the last pack. I knew once Jacob phased, he'd step in as Alpha. I wasn't sure how'd he'd take it, but I really couldn't stop to think about it. I had Jared and Paul coming in fast with the phase. Then were was also Jacob's best friend Embry Call. I knew that Jacob would not appreciate this, as until they were phased, Embry would have to cut ties. I knew from the way Jacob tried hard to protect Bella, this would not be easy.

Bella groaned gently as I scooped her into my arms. I was dressed in just my shorts, but I was warm. The beauty of being a wolf, my body heat was amaking that I could withstand some really cold temperatures. I had tried to wake her, but she wouldn't open her eyes.
"Bella…" I said softly. I was thankful that she was safe, as I knew from Billy, how much Chief Swan cared for her. I didn't understand why a girl like Bella would want anything to do with leeches. I carefully held her as I walked out. Since my transformation, I knew the forest better than anyone. I walked out, heading towards the Swan residence. I could hear Chief Swan and Billy co-coordinating the search parties.
"Charlie!" Someone called. The group of men all turned to face me. I could see the worry on the Chiefs face.
"Bella!" He said rushing to me. I slid his daughter into his arms. The Chief looked at me with appreciation, as he held his girl tightly to him, as though afraid he'd lose her if he let go.
"Thank you Sam." He said in a voice that shook. I gave him a nod, and he hurried inside. I turned to Old Quil and Billy.
"Good job." Old Quil said to me. I gave a nod. My eyes fell onto Billy's son. He was glaring at me, and his nostrils flaring. We used to get along, but I knew the changes I had gone through did not sit well with Jacob. I could feel the heat he was producing, and he'd shot up maybe half a foot since I'd last seen him. I turned to Billy.
"You best go check on the Chief. Tell him I found her in the forest. She was half frozen to death. She'll need to be seen to." I said to him. He gave a nod. Jacob took hold of Billy's wheel chair, pushing him into the Swan residence.
"Thank you everyone, we'll let you know how Bella is." Old Quil called to the parties. They all took to their cars. I looked at old Quil.
"Tell Billy Jake's started the change. I can sense it." I said to him. Old Quil looked up at the house.
"Good job Sam. I'll let him know." Old Quil said to me. I gave a nod again, before running towards the forest. All I could smell was the lingering stink of the Cullen's. My wolf grew eager as a phased, taking off as quickly as I could to rid myself of the stink.

Bella's POV

I woke to dad gently wiping my face. I looked at him in slight confusion.
"Dad?" I said confused.
"Oh Bells, you gave your old man a scare today." He said pulling me into him. I frowned slightly then everything came back. Dad let me go.
"What happened Bells?" He asked in a voice that was shaky. I looked at him and then looked to my window Edward had came through so many times.
"Edward and I broke up… He's left Forks." I whispered. Dad looked uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry Bella." He said softly. I nodded.
"I want you to get some sleep. You've had a long day." He said kissing the top of my head. I nodded and he walked out. It was now I felt the tears. I was angry and hurt, and now, my dad was worried. Edward really knew how to fuck with my emotions… I was fairly pissed off and sad all at once.

It was weeks, of going to school, coming home and staring out my window, wishing for nothing more than for Edward to come home. I tried calling every number I had for all of the Cullen's, and nothing. None of them answered. It felt as though I was going insane. Had it not for dads under his breath bashings of Edward, I would have sworn, he was a figment of my imagination.

"Hey Bells?" Came dads voice. I stood up slowly and walked out of my room. He was standing down at the bottom of the stairs.
"Billy and Jake are having a BBQ today, and I was just heading off. Why don't you come with? I know Jake would love to see you. It's been a while." He said softly. I looked at him.
"Dad, I need a serious shower, and to get changed. Would you wait?" I asked softly. I watched ass Dad's face lit up.
"Yeah, I'll just watch some tellie while I wait." He said smiling. I gave him a forced small smile. I didn't know why I wanted to go out there, but at least I would have an opportunity to talk to Jacob, and maybe thank Sam Uley for saving me, since according to dad, he'd came out of the forest carrying me.

Jacob smiled brightly as dad and I pulled up in his truck.
"Hiya Jake, where's the old man?" Dad asked, grabbing his 6 pack of beers.

"Inside. He's got the game all set up and is waiting for you." Jacob answered. Dad patted his back as he walked past, walking inside. I looked at Jake.
"Hi." I said a little nervously.

"Hey Bells." He pulled me into a hug. As I stepped out, I noticed the goofy grin.

"So, wanna see my latest toy?" He asked. I smiled and nodded, knowing he would have something new in his shed. I was a little shocked as I walked in to see two old motorbikes.
"Dad wasn't too keen, but once I'm finished, these babies are gonna be sweet." He said to me, touching the larger two.

"Definitely sweet." I said looking at the smaller blue one.
"So, how have you been?" He asked getting a wrench. I looked up, as he began working on the black bike.

"I'm okay." I answered simply. I knew Jacob on the inside was doing flips.
"So, haven't heard from him?" He asked through a gritted teeth. I shook my head, as I sat on an old stool.
"No, and I don't think I will again." I said handing him a screw driver.

It was a couple of hours later before dad came searching for us. By then, Jake and I had stopped messing with the bikes, and were sitting in the grass paddock joined to Billy's property.
"Hey you kids up for food? We're gonna cook up some burgers." Dad asked. Jake and I nodded.
"Sure dad, sounds good." I answered. Dad smiled then walked back to the house.
"So, hows everything with you anyway?" I asked. He looked a little surprised.
"I mean, last time I seen you, I am fairly sure you were a lot shorter." I said grinning. He nudged me with his shoulder.

"What can I say, I'm a growing boy." He said with a grin.

"Nah, I'm alright… haven't been out and about for a bit." He said picking at the grass. I looked at him noticing the anger he suddenly had.

"You okay?" I asked a little concerned. He threw the bit of grass he had.
"Yeah, just a mate of mine. He's started hanging with a gang." He said to me.

"Who?" I asked as he stood, offering his hand. Apparently sitting wasn't an option.
"You know my mate Embry?" He asked. I nodded, not saying a word. I hadn't really had a lot to do with his mates.
"Well he's joined Sam Uley's gang." He said as we walked.
"Sam's in a gang?" I asked somewhat stunned.

"Yeah, he walks around like he friggin owns the place, now Embrys joined him, and I'm no longer his friend." He said in a voice that scared me. I had only ever heard that tone when he spoke of Edward.
"Sorry Jake." I said softly. He faced me, shrugging.
"Who cares right. Friends come and go." He said to me. I wasn't sure about it, but I was certain that had been a slight dig at me.
"Damn, I was really hoping to meet Sam." I said to him. He froze, staring at me.
"Why?" He asked a little harsher then I was certain he meant.
"Oh, I wanted thank him, you know… for finding me." I said a little uneasy. I didn't want Edward mentioned. Jake's body suddenly got hard.
"Trust me Bella, he don't need any thanks… He got enough praise from the tribe." He said irritated. He suddenly took my hand. I froze. The heat now on my hand was intense.
"Jake, your really hot." I said stunned. He suddenly grinned.

"Hey, you know it." He said with a laugh. I smacked him playfully in the shoulder.

"Shut up." I said laughing.

"Jake! Bells! Come get some food!" Dad shouted out. I smiled once more at Jake before we jogged up to the house.

I spent a lot of my free time with Jacob. His moods were a little rough, and I wasn't sure if he was gonna be hot or cold, but I accepted it as his hormones. Dad seemed happier knowing I was with Jacob rather than hanging with the Cullen's.

I was sitting upstairs in my room catching up on homework when there was a tap on my door. I turned to face Jake.
"Hey, wanna come to a party?" He asked grinning. I swear, he'd grown more.
"What is with you? I swear, you are growing fast. Are you on special growth med or something?" I said amazed at his height. He grinned.
"Party, come on!" He said ignoring my latest remark. I smiled and looked at my English homework.
"I have homework…" I groaned. He shook his head walking over and grabbing my arm.
"Come on, we're heading to La Push beach for some serious fun. You can do it tomorrow." He groaned back, pulling me towards my door. I smirked.

"Can I at least get a jacket?" I asked chuckling. He let out an over exaggerated groan.
"Fine…" He said rolling his eyes dramatically. I shook my head as I grabbed my black hoodie.
"Okay teen drama king, let's go." I said laughing as he dragged me down the stairs and outside.
