Chapter 11

                                    

                                          
Over the last couple of months, I have been living with Emily and Sam's, and I have loved every single second of it. They took me in after I was let out of the hospital and took care of me. They gave me a place to live in and a place where I could be myself. That was how I became best friends with Emily. We spent so much time with each other that after the day it felt like we were actually sisters.
That was until I found out that I had a sister. An older twin sister named Isabella, but she preferred to be called Bella. I thought that maybe she would be a nice older sister, who actually turned out to be a cold heartless bitch who broke Jake's heart for another guy. I hope that Jake gets over her soon because he is starting to drive me crazy with his weird behaviour about whether to call her or not.
Let's just hope that I won't meet her anytime soon. Otherwise, I would punch her in the face.

It was another normal day, and I was helping Emily and Leah in the kitchen. I became friends with Leah and her younger brother, Seth, two months ago when they came in with the guys in the morning, looking like hell and terrified beyond doubt. I tried to ask what was wrong, but Emily pulled me out of the kitchen and upstairs to my room. She really needs to stop doing that everytime something weird happens.
"Hey Sephy, pass the chicken!" Jared yelled over the noise in the house, making Paul growl at him.
"Watch what you're saying to her," Paul growled as I stood in-front of all the guys at the table with my hands on my hips, looking directly at Jared with a glare.
"Say please," I said in a warning tone. "Or no one will get anything until supper."
Suddenly, all the guys faces turned pale before looking over at Jared with pleading puppy eyes, making me laugh. "Please Sephy."
"Hmm..." I murmured as I tapped my chin with my finger. "No."
"Sephy!" They all yelled at me in annoyance before I turned around with the huge plate of chicken wings and put them in the middle of the table before going back into the attached kitchen to help with the muffins, when I heard a motorcycle pull up to the house.
"Who could that be?" I asked confused.
"Jake and Bella," Embry answered before running out of the house.
I felt my chest tighten at her name. It felt like I was suffocating, that there was no clean air but poisonous air because of her. First, she ruined Jake's life, and now she wants to ruin mine. "Emily, is it okay if I go lie-down for a bit? I don't feel well."
Emily looked at me in confusion before realising what I meant. "Of course, I'll tell Paul that you're not feeling well. Now go before she sees you."
With that note I ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs until I got into my room and silently slammed the door shut. I slid down the door, my head hanging low in shame. I was ashamed of myself because I couldn't face her. I was ashamed of myself because I let myself judge her before even meeting her. And now, that she is back in their lives, I was ashamed of myself because I let myself trust them. I felt used for some reason, but I knew that Leah and Emily hate her guts for what she did.
I took a deep breath and opened my eyes, looking around my simple room. It was quite simple with only a couple of pictures that were given to me by my Dad, and to be honest, I didn't need anymore. The walls were sandy-brown-cream colour, there were two windows, a bed, two nightstands, huge lamp with amber stones, a desk, and a chair. Nothing fancy or expensive, but it felt like home to me.
I slid onto my bed and buried my face in the covers before screaming. I screamed in anger towards Bella. Screamed in frustration because I felt weak. Screamed because I was scared of losing everyone. Especially Paul.
However, my screams only made all the guys burst through my door in worry and ready to attack mode. "What the hell are you guys doing?"
"We heard you scream and thought you were being attacked," Paul explained as he came over and pulled me into a bear hug. "Never scare us like that again. Understood?"
I nodded before pulling away from the hug. "So, how was Bella?"
"Boring," Leah answered as she came into my room and plopped down onto my bed before pulling me into a hug. "God, how are you even related to her? Because I can't see any resemblance between you two."
"Mixed genetics I guess," I said shrugging my shoulders. "So, you guys want the muffins now or later?"
The guys cheered as all of them ran out and down the stairs into the kitchen.
I laughed with Leah and Paul as they pulled me out of the room and downstairs.
I just hope that Bella won't take them away from me.

The next day was bit better because Bella didn't come over, but still everything that happened on previous Thursdays, always will continue.
I was sitting in the kitchen, learning a new recipe, with Emily having a shower upstairs, when I heard it. A loud howl. So loud it made me cover my ears. But something about that howl draw me in. It wasn't like a normal wolf howl; it was more animalistic filled with anger and frustration. I took a quick look to see if Emily has come out. Hearing that she won't be coming out anytime soon, I stood up, put on my jacket, and left the house.
I heard more howls coming from the east, making me walk towards the source of the sounds. Everytime another howl I heard; I knew that I was close to finding the wolves.
Finally, after walking for about twenty minutes, I came to a clearing of where a huge river separated to cliffs. On one cliff, there were six people standing there. On the other cliff were seven different wolves. Bigger than bears, probably faster than cheetah's, and probably stronger than lion.
I wanted to get closer, but I didn't want to risk being seen. And so, I hid behind a huge oak tree, listening and seeing as the humans argued with the wolves. Say what? Humans can't argue with animals. But as I looked closer, I now knew how the people argued with the wolves. The wolves bones started cracking, changing shape, and colour, until there was nothing left but seven people. Naked. Oh, heaven's above.
"Sam, please," one of the men said from the other side. "Emmett didn't mean to get on your land."
"Then explain to me why I caught him on our land?" Paul asked. Wait, what? Paul is a wolf...No, that can't be possible. No, no, no, no! Why would he lie to me? Why would he keep secrets from me?
I felt my eyes getting watery, but I held them back. I wish I understood why he would lie to me, but it didn't matter now. However, when I turned back around, I realised something. It wasn't just Paul who was one of the wolves. Jared, Embry, Jake, Leah, Seth, and Sam are also standing there.
"Sam, what Emmett did was unthinkable, but he did it to get to Victoria," another male voice said.
Sam huffed before growling. "This is your last chance, Cullen. Screw it up and there won't be another one."
With that they all changed back into their wolf forms and took off in the direction of home.
And I wasn't at home.
