"Dad! Dad we saw them!"

"Dad!"

Charlie and Harry Clearwater both jerked their heads up when we burst into the room. Bella was panting, her eyes wide and visibly distraught, and I am sure I don't look much better.

"In the woods! Their not bears!" Bella panted, trying to suck some air back into her lungs. I did the same.

"In the woods- girls, what the hell were you doing in the woods?" Charlie demanded, his face reddening slightly.

"They're huge wolves. Like massive!" I made gestures with my hands to prove a point.

"You sure about that?" Harry asked, crossing his arms.

"Yes we just saw them! They were after-" Bella's voice faltered. "Um, something."

"Wolves? You saw them?" Charlie asked us, looking quite skeptical. We both nodded rapidly. "All right, well Harry, feel like going hunting? Get some of your guys together?"

"Uh, yeah..." Harry mumbled, casting us one last nervous glance before following our father out of the room.

"Jacob's a werewolf!"

"Yep, so am I."

Bella ignored my snarky comment, pacing around my bedroom. "There was something I didn't tell you before... you know that time we were at the beach and Jake told be about the vampires? Well he also mentioned werewolves. I mean think about it, a bunch of muscular-"

"Super hot, but that's not important-"

"guys with matching tattoo's of wolves howling at the sky!"

"Wait!" I sat up straighter, tossing the pillow I was hugging aside. "You looked close enough to see the picture?"

"It doesn't matter!" Bella exclaimed, smacking me with said pillow. "We have to go now!"

"You drive like an old lady, so I'll go first."

The Swan twins pulled up in the La-Push reservation, Bella jumping out before the truck was fully stopped. Courtney rolled her eyes, jumping out to follow.

"Hey! I'll go around back, you just... annoy Billy into letting you in!" Courtney yelled, already jogging around the small house. The sun was beating down hard on her figure as she jumped over a rock. Immediately, she was met by the hulking figures of a group of teenage boys.

They recognized her as the girl who almost beat up Jacob Black, and they all grinned.

"Yo! Courtney!" Jared waved, running over to the very confused looking girl. Her short hair blew in front of her face, and she held it back to see if what she was witnessing was true.

"Um, hi?" She posed it more as a question as the other boys joined.

"You look way different when you're not trying to kill someone." Paul joked, and she pulled a face in response. "Don't think I won't do it again."

Paul smirked. She really is kind of like him. Too bad the bloodsuckers got to her first.

"I like her, ballsy." Jared grinned as the pack walked forward until they were face-to-face. "The bloodsuckers teach you that?"
