A/N: sorry about not updating in FOREVER, the dinosaur computer I had didn't wanna work but I have a laptop now so hopefully new updates but with school who knows.

The sun broke through the clouds as an alarm clock went off in a house down in La Push and a groan from a teenage girl was heard as her hand hit the alarm clock, and broke it.

This teenage girl was none other than Maylee Swan who just a week ago was a normal human girl…then she turned into a panther and found out who she truly was and where she truly came from.

~~~FLASHBACK, TWO DAYS AFTER MAYLEE'S CHANGE~~~

MAYLEE'S POV:

I sat down on the couch in Sam & Emily's house drinking the tea Emily had given me which didn't make much sense since my temperature was sky high from just phasing into a panther two days ago but she said it helped calm my nerves so I drank it anyway. I heard a knock on the door and seen Emily walk to the front door from the kitchen and heard them talking, I shouldn't be listening in but I couldn't help it.

"Hello how can I help you?" I heard Emily ask and I could tell she had a smile on her face

"oh hello dear, is there a girl by the name of Maylee Fennimore here?" I heard what sounded like an older lady ask, she sounded like my grandma.

"Umm I don't know any Maylee Fennimore but there is a Maylee Swan here" Emily told the lady then I guess the lady nodded or something because I heard the door close and them walking towards the living room.

"Maylee this lady says she knows you?" Emily looked at me with a confused look then I looked at the old woman for the first time. She had tan skin with black hair with grey streaks in it tied in a loose bun, wrinkles but not as much as you might think, and a long black jacket that went down to her ankles.

I watched as she woman never took her eyes off of me even as Emily showed her to the arm chair across from me but not before offering to take her jacket but I saw the woman wanting to look in Emily's direction but she settled for shaking her head and sitting down in the chair.

"I guess I should explain huh?" The woman said but before she could get started all the boys and imprints came tumbling through the front door and into the living room but all stopped when they seen the woman.

"sit down kids I think you should all hear this too" the woman told them and they all gave each other looks but all walked into the living room and sat in random spots on the floor once all the seats were taken.

"Okay I guess I should start off saying I don't mean any trouble or harm to any of you, I do know what all of you are and I will explain how I know this later. My name is Diana Butcher and I am from the Telakee tribe, where you were born Maylee. The Telakee tribe is just like the Quileute tribe except we descend from panthers instead of wolves and unlike the Quileute's only the woman in the tribe phased, never the men. But just like them we are born to protect the tribe from cold ones. Maylee, your real name is Maylee Fennimore. When you were just a baby the tribe was attacked by an army of cold ones, your mother was able to phase and fought the cold ones with everything she had in her while your father who was just a human could do nothing but hide away in the basement of the house with you crying in his arms. After the war with the cold ones was over the tribe's village as we called it was destroyed, needing to be rebuilt, anyone who survived the war returned home except for your mother Maylee but everyone believed for her to still be alive since her body was never found. Your father eventually was so emotionally unstable that he had to give you up for adoption and only a day later were you adopted, by Renee and Charlie Swan."

So I was adopted? Where was my mother? Renee and Charlie aren't my real parents? Bella isn't my real sister? Where is my father? All these questions were popping up into my head but I didn't want to overwhelm the woman with them so I kept them to myself…except one.

"Do you know where my mother is?" I asked the woman not realizing to ask who she actually was in all this and how she knew all this information.

"of course I do!" she said like it was the most stupidest question I could have asked but as she stood up I felt someone squeeze my hand and just realized through all of this I never realized Seth was sitting next to me holding my hand

"I'm your mother" The woman said…the room filled with gasps of surprise and shock, and my eyes filled with tears that soon started falling down my face and Seth's arm wrapped around my shoulders pulling me closer to him for comfort.

"I look really old don't I? After the war I never returned except for when I checked up in you and your father but I could never go back not with the state I was in. Maylee you have to know that if you use to much of your energy to where you feel like you can't breathe and feels like your well…old you need to phase back into a human, it's very hard to explain but you will know what I mean if it actually does happen to you because if not, this will happen" My mom stood up and took off her jacket revealing what she was hiding underneath.

She was wearing a dress that went down to her knees but the dress was revealing enough to where you could see her arms, shoulders, and come of her back and it truthfully wasn't a very good sight. My mom was literally just skin and bones nothing else. I couldn't help it and took an intake of breath and covered my mouth with my hand to stop myself from puking and I knew probably everyone else in the room felt the same way I did. My mom looked at me and put her jacket back on mouthing sorry to me but I just shook my head telling her it was okay and took my hand away from my mouth and leaned my body against Seth.

"I came to warn you Maylee of what could happen if you used too much of your energy, and to let you know I am always looking out for you no matter what" That was all she said before she was out the door, quicker than lightning, too fast for any of us to catch her even with how skinny she was.

No one talked at all until Emily cleared her throat and told everyone it was getting late and with that the pack and the girls headed out to their respective homes, except me of course. For the time being I'm going to be living with Sam & Emily until I get to the point where they know I won't phase when I get a little mad, just like the boys.

~~~PRESENT TIME~~~

The talk I had with my mother or well the talk she had with me still runs through my head, I want to see my mother again of course but since I've only known her for at most an hour it hadn't affected me as much as I thought, and knowing she was out there looking out for me helped too. I got knocked out of my thoughts when I heard a groan beside me then a hand go around my waist softly pulling me back down on the bed.

"Seth I need to get ready for the day, and you have school" I told my boyfriend who lay beside me with his hair all messed up and his eyes still closed, and the best thing of all…shirtless.

"May it's a Friday for one, two you can sleep in since you have no school, and three I don't feel like going" Seth moaned in a tired voice

"You're only staying because Emily and Sam are out in Port Angeles shopping so Emily can't smack you silly with her wooden spoon and Sam can't kick your ass" I told him smirking at him to see he opened his eyes slightly to look at me

"No because I want to stay with my beautiful girlfriend of course" Seth smirked and put his hands on my waist and flipped me so I was straddling him basically.

"Mhm sure I'll go with that for now" I leaned down and gave him a quick kiss and pulled back slightly to look at his face

"You know, you should wear my clothes more often. You look really hot in my shirt" The smirk went back on Seth's face as I laughed and leaned back down to kiss him again but this time before I could pull back Seth deepened the kiss and rolled us over so he was above me.

As the kiss deepened I felt Seth's hand slowly going up my shirt well, his shirt. I put my hands on Seth's chest and lightly pushed him away.

"Seth" I didn't have to finish my sentence because the look in Seth's eyes told me I could trust him, I know Seth wouldn't force me but I truly wanted to. So I wrapped my arms around Seth's neck and pulled him as close as I could.

"Are you sure May?" Seth asked me, but all I could do was nod my head before that morning, turned into the best morning of my life.

A/N: I know it wasn't much but I wanted to get the whole explaining part out of the way, there will be more about the Telakee later on and of course more explaining since I'm pretty sure there were some things I missed (also had to add some Maylee and Seth in there and I know it seemed too early for their relationship to go that far but I couldn't help it!). And I would like to also say that I'm sorry for the extra-long wait but I just wasn't feeling the story until I of course…WATCHED BREAKING DAWN! Then I couldn't help it and had to write more…CANT WAIT FOR PART TWO! .
