Tav’s POV
I felt a sudden burst in my body and heard a loud tear sound of my clothes.
AHH! PAIN....
Before I know it, few voices joined my mine.
SIS!!
You are now a shape shifter!
Glad I’m not the only girl...
TAV, you ok?
Nice fur.
That’s Paul’s voice. Then Jared, Leah, Embry, and Quil.
Thanks, where’s Seth? I thought.
Right behind you.
I turned around and saw a sandy-coloured wolf.
Seth?
Yeah?
Nice colour...
Same for you, Tav.
I looked at paw and saw my beautiful dark chocolate brown colour.
Thanks...
Tav. Tell us what happened.
I whined as I felt the power of the alpha on my shoulder.
I...I...I don’t know. Weren’t you watching me?
Tav. I mean what set you off? You weren’t meant to phase... yet. Sam said.
And, there are no vampires around except for the Cullens. Jared added.
Then, I remembered it all... all the painful memory came rushing back to me.
Jake said he loved me and will never leave me.
Then, Bella rang and he left me there...alone.
I was alone on the beach and it was raining.
Seth found me and the intense heat and pain.
WHAT! HE DID THAT? HE LEFT YOU AFTER WHAT HE SAID. THAT BLOODY IDIOIT!
Paul...Damn, I weren’t meant to tell you that...
Get used to it, Tav... Leah said.
I saw Seth trembled along with Paul.
Great. Paul ,calm down...I ...am fine... and Seth?You okay?Why..
No reason.
And with that, Seth phased back and changed behind a tree.
Seth’s POV
Jake was the one that made Tav cried... Where’s Jake now? He better not be with Bella. How can he ditch Tav like that?
Although it broke my heart to know that Jake said he love Tav, I still wanted to be there for Tav whenever she’s upset.
Maybe I shouldn’t have phased and walked away...I’ll go find Tav and said sorry.
I was about to turned around when I saw Tav running up to me.
“Seth? You okay?”
“I...I am fine. Sorry,Tav.”
Tav gave me a small smile.
“How are you feeling?”
“A bit sore and really really warm.”
“Get used to the heat,Tav.”
Tav groaned.
“Too many things to get used to.”
I chuckled at her.
Tav’s POV
Later in the day, Seth and I made our way back to Sam’s house.
“Tav!”
I was greeted by Emily.
“Hey, Em” I gave her a hug.
“Tav, would you like to stay at our house for a couple of days since you just turn, Sam would like to keep an eye on you.” Emily explains.
“Sure, Em. Is Paul staying too?”
“I think so. Seth is though.”
I nodded.
After dinner, Emily showed me the guest room.
“Here, Tav. You can stay in here.”
“Thanks,Em”
“Tav, now you are in Sam’s pack. You would be coming over a lot. So treat it like home.” Emily gave a gentle smile. I smiled back. “Thank you.” Emily gave a nod and closed the door behind her.I leaned back onto my pillow and sighed.
Jacob Black was the only thing on my mind.
Tears start rushing out and I couldn’t stop myself.
STOP,Tav! You never cried over guys before, so why start now?
Because I really love Jake.
No,Tav. Just another guy.
I sobbed as I remembered all the memories Jake and I shared.
“JAKE!” I yelled.
“YEAH?” Jake replied with a goofy expression on his face.
“Don’t act dumb. STOP throwing sand in my hair!”
“What are you talking about? I didn’t do anything.” Jake said and he smiled sweetly at me.
My heart almost melts at his smile.
“Ahh!” I yelled, annoyed at all the sands falling from my head.
I grabbed a handful of sand and dumped them on Jake’s head.
“Now, you are asking for it!” Jake said as he jumped up to chase after me.
I ran quickly and grabbed another handful of sand.
“Don’t come any closer, Jake. I’ve got a handful of sand and I am not afraid to use it.” I said, laughing like a little kid.
“Oh really? I got two handfuls of sands and I am not afraid to use it either.”
Jake grinned.
“NO! NO, Jake. No.” I pleaded
Tav's POV
He turned his head and I stared into his chocolate brown eyes.
Almost like Jacob’s...
Seth turned his head away and I caught a bit of his thoughts.
He...is...angry? That I compared him to Jake?
Seth? I am sorry.
No, it’s okay. I am sorry.
There was silence and we knew that Sam had already phased back.
Look, Tav....I know...it’ sounds weird, but....you can tell me anything...
...Um....well, you really want to know?
If...it concerns you, then yes...
...okay....
So then Seth and I spent the whole night, seeing my memories about all the things Jake and I had shared. Then, I even told him about the heartbreak and how I feel about all these.
By morning, I felt better and closer to Seth.
Thanks, Seth.
No problem, Tav.
I feel better now...
Good.
We phased back and went to Emily for some breakfast.
“Hey, Em.”
“Hey, Tav. Hey, Seth. How was last night?”
“Um...fine.”
Emily nodded and handed Seth and me a plate of food each.ach plate was filled with food, lots of it...
“Um, wow.”
Seth looked at me and laughed.
“Trust me, you will eat it all.”
“Well, I am kinda of hungry...”
It turned out that I finished the whole plate of food.
“Emily, thank you. That was delicious.”
“That’s okay. Would you like to some more?”
“No thank you.”
“How about you, Seth?”
“Yes, please.”
Seth handed his plate to Emily and she returned with it full...again.
Just then, Sam came in the room and gave Emily a passionate kiss. It was filled with love and passion.
I wondered if I would ever imprint on any one? Or if someone...will imprint on me?
“Tav, you stay here with Emily today. So you can have a rest and starts patrol tomorrow. Seth, hurry up and go.” Sam ordered.
“I am coming, I am coming.” Seth said as he tried to swallow his food.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam and Seth went out to meet with Embry and Quil, and Emily and I decided to make lunch for the guys.
“Emily, how many do you have to make?” I asked, shocked at all the food she has on the table.
“A lot...”
“Wow, you are amazing.”
Emily looked and gave me a smile. “How does it feel to join the pack?”
“...Great, I feel more connected to the pack now...like I...truly belong with them.”
“Umm...yes. Like family...”
“Yes!”
“So...do you think you will imprint on anyone?”
“Um... I don’t know...Leah still hasn’t imprint, right? Can girls wolves even imprint?”
“Well, we don’t know everything about imprint...It could happen at any time, it doesn’t have to be love at first sight...You and Leah might imprint some other time. And, who knows, maybe some of the guys will imprint on you.”
My mind instantly drift to Jacob.
His lovely chocolate brown eyes, his wonderfu-
STOP!
I tried to regain my control over the thoughts.
“Tav? Tav? You okay? You looked a little bit pale.”
“I...um...I am fine.” I lied and continued to chop the carrots.
The guys came back around 5 with Paul and Jared.
“What’s up, Tav?” Embry said as he rushed toward me with a bear hug.
“Hey, Embry.”
“TAV!” I turned around and saw Quil running full speed towards my way. I dodged out of the way skilfully, causing Quil to crash into Jared.
“Watch it, Quil.” Jared said and Quil's eyes widen in shock.
Meet my new werewolf speed!
“You are QUICK, Tav.” Embry said, shocked.
“Huh? Aren’t all werewolves fast like that?” I asked, confused.
“Yeah...But not when Quil is charging full bolt at you.” Jared pointed out.
“Only Jake had been that quick.” Embry said, shaking his head.
“Looks like Jake got competition.” Quil said, smirking.
I whined at the mention of his name.
Seth tensed beside me and started to shake.
Sam saw the situation and yelled at the guys to help with the food.
The guys left, leaving only Seth and I.
“It’s okay, Seth.Calm down. I am fine.” I touched his arm reassuringly.
Slowly, Seth stopped shaking and took a deep breath.
He took my hands and led me to the table.
I sighed to myself...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jacob’s POV
“Bella?”
Silence.
“Bella?”
Then the smell hit me. It’s the stupid bloodsucker.
EDWARD CULLEN.
I growled and slapped the door as I followed his trail.
Bella’s POV
“Bella.”
I stopped and turned around.
Edward.
“Bella, come with me.”
“No, Edward. Not until you agree to change me.” I replied, not looking his way.
“BEL-“
A sudden growl stopped him from continuing.
“Jacob?”
A horse-size russet brown wolf appears beside me. He growl again, louder this time at Edward.
“Jake...Don’t” I said, not wanting to start a fight here...
“Bella, come back to me now. You know how much it hurts me to see you next to the..mutt.”
Jake growled and stood in front of me defensively.
Jake’s POV
Don’t make me kill you...
I said to HIM through my thoughts.
He shake his head and asked again.
“Bella? Come.”
“NO! Edward, I told you already.” Bella answered, hiding behind me.
She is not coming with you if she doesn’t want to.
“BELLA!”
That’s it.
I ran up to him and knocked him over.
“JAKE! STOP!” Bella yelled and came to push us apart.
“Jake, stop. Let’s go.” She said.
I turned around and followed her.
DON”T YOU EVER COME AND BOTHER HER AGAIN, LEECH!
I heard Edward snarled in disgust and went away quickly.
Bella’s POV
Edward came. My heart aches as I turned around to leave him. But...I couldn’t help it; I had to get him to understand from my view.
“Bella?”
Ugh. What now? I am not exactly in the mood for questions.
I turned around but my anger melt once I saw Jake’s worried face.
I softened and replied.
“Yeah?”
“...If...you don’t know....I mean you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to...but why did you leave Edward?”
Knew that was coming....
“I...”
Can’t tell Jake the real reason or he won’t let me stay...
“I...don’t want to talk about it.”
“Oh...okay.”
Jake’s POV
I got to admit that I felt a bit hurt that Bella won’t tell me what’s wrong. But, right now, all that’s matter is that she is here with me. With ME. Not with Edward-that leech.
I will never let Bella leave against her own will.
I can’t let Edward takes Bella away...again. I can’t stand another one, not by myself...I could hardly live the last time, at lease...
Tav is here for me....
Tav?! Oh no, I left her by herself. DAMN and after what I said too...
NONONO!!! How could I be so stupid? She helped you through so much, JACOB BLACK! And you dumped her like that on the beach.
AHHHH!
“Jake?”
Bella’s musical voice filled my head and all the thoughts about Tav went away in an instant.
“Yeah?”
“Let’s go to the beach.”
“Okay.” I smiled and walked to the beach with only one thing on my mind.
BELLA!
Seth’s POV
SETH. Sam’s angry voice came up.
Yes, Sam?
GO FIND JACOB NOW, HE HAD BEEN MISSING PATROL FOR A FEW DAYS NOW.
A new voice joined us and it was Jared.
Sam, Cullen guy been across the boundary.
WHY?
Umm...Bella is with...Jake
AGAIN?
This time, it was both of us screaming at Jared.
Umm...Yeah
DAMN THAT VAMPIRE LOVER!
Tav’s POV
Patrols are one of the best things about being a shapes shifter; I enjoy the free feeling of being able to run around. And it helps take my mind off ...Jacob.
I can now contain my emotions in front of the guys and Emily. But whenever I’m alone, my tears would come bursting out. I hated it that I feel so weak wheneverI think about Jake...
I walked along the waves and let the wet sand covers my feet as I drifted through my thoughts.
“Jake...” I heard a girl giggled.
I turned around and saw the most terrifying sight I ever laid my eyes on.
JAKE AND BELLA.
Together...
Laughing and smiling...
My heart sank at the sight and I was about to turned around when
Jake saw me...
“TAV!”
ARGH!
Calm down.
I took a deep breath and looked at Jake.
Then...
Almost as if some invisible force keep pushing me to bewith him.I couldn't help but to look at Jake in the eyes.Suddenly, It's not gravity that holds you here anymore, it's HIM.
Everything about Jake seems perfect to me, every single thing…
Damn, I just imprinted on Jake…at the PERFECT time…
Jake’s POV
Tav is here?
“TAV!”
She turned around and suddenly a force hit me to...HARD.
Her deep chocolate brown hair, lovely brown eyes...
PERFECT...TAV.
Damn it, I just imprinted on her, a really strong force...
I looked at her more carefully and saw that she had phased! I was shocked, I really wanted to ask her about it and if...she felt the ...force...imprinting...But, Bella is here...Tav looked at me in the eyes, switched to Bella than back at me, then she turned around and ran as fast as she could.
And it was FAST.
Even for a wolf...
I felt the urge to run after her, but I reminded myself that I have Bella with me...
FOCUS ON BELLA!
But now, the only thing on my mind this time is...TAV.
The girl that I imprinted on...
Tav’s POV
I ran.
As fast as I could.
I can’t help myself anymore and the tears just keep falling down my face. I tried to wipe them away but more just replaced them.
I always wondered how I would react when I see Jacob again. Would I yell at him, ignore him, or burst into tears?
But, never had I thought that...I would run, run away from him. And I never thought that I would see him with Bella around.
The image haunt my head as I speed along the road and rush into the forest.
I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
I trembled and phased into my wolf form.
AGRHHHHHHH!
I howled loudly.
Tav?
Leah’s thoughts joined my mind.
Great.
Yes?
Why are you howling?
...I...Nothing.
...Is it...Jake...and Bella?
How did you found out?? Is it SETH?
NO no no no...not him, I mean he didn’t do it on purpose, we were on patrols, he started to worry about you and I could just see what he was worrying about...So yeah...
I growled and speed up.
Tav-
Don’t start, Leah. I am fine...Please give me some peace...I am sorry, but I need time right now...
...Sure, well you can take patrol for now, I will tell Sam.
Thanks, Leah.
I can hear her worrying thoughts as she phased back. I sighed and kept running as the breeze hit me in the face.
Bella and Jake...
Suddenly the smell hit me and I turned around and saw...
