Living a New Life

Chapter 2

Four Years Later

Since she talked to everyone they've been working on bettering their health, and making sure she's having a happy life. It touches her how loved she is, and she's beyond happy to have this chance at a new life.

At this point in time, she has a large friend circle who all act like siblings. Angela is already less shy being around so many people growing up. Jessica is less Cali girl and though she listens to gossip and tells her friends group what she hears, she doesn't spread rumors or talk behind her friends backs. She can already tell Mike won't be chasing after girls constantly and will take no as his answer. They also get along swimmingly with the future pack.

Isabella can tell that Leah and Sam will never date because he's already met and has a crush on Emily. Paul is less prone to anger after he was saved from his abusive father and now lives with the Cameron's. Jared joined the group and is already Paul's best friend. Jacob doesn't follow her around like a lost puppy and gets along well with his older sister Rachel. Rebecca doesn't like any of them for some reason, and treats both of her siblings like crap. Quil and Embry are best friends with Jacob and everyone calls them the three musketeers. She's realized they probably won't meet Kim until after Jared imprints on her. Seth is everyone's sweet little brother since he's the youngest out of all of them, with Sam being everyone's big brother.

Her mom moved them to Seattle on her sixth birthday to be closer, but continued to travel when she could. Which was fine with Isabella. She really enjoyed it, it was so different from her first life.

She's still in gymnastics, and she's loving Judo. Never too young to start learning to protect herself, and her dad was one hundred percent on board. Her mom homeschools her for a couple of reasons, to be able to travel whenever they want, and so she won't have to be surrounded by children that she knows she won't stay friends with.

She had a conversation with Old Quil, Harry, Sue and Billy about bringing her family into the tribe, so that when she turns fifteen she can tell them about vampires. Luckily, they'll be all squared away by her birthday.

Three Years Later

Well today she turns twelve, and all her friends and family have gathered to celebrate. Her heart swells every year because it's something she never expected to have, and she loves every last one of them. Things are still going the same, but she has been moving up in Judo and just keeps getting better.

Three Years Later

Okay, it's finally time to get the pack together and let them know. Her and her parents are officially a part of the tribe so they will be learning as well. They're going to have a huge bonfire, along with the parents of the future pack. She can't wait and feels bad for keeping these secrets from her friends. That's why Angela, Jessica and Mike will be there to learn as well. Except when it gets to the vampires Sue will take them home. No need to put them in danger.

When everyone makes it to the bonfire it's already going. They have hotdogs, and burgers. Everyone grabs a plate, and sits down to eat before the stories will start. Once everyone is done, Old Quil starts them off.

"Once there was a warrior named Taha Aki, and he merged with the spirit of a wolf. He would turn into a wolf to protect the tribe. This gift was passed down to his children. And when an enemy would come, they would begin to shift to protect everyone. Sam, Jared, Paul, Leah, Seth, Jacob, Quil the Fourth, and Embry, in the next two years you will begin to shift. We want you to know before it happens because we don't want you to be scared. Now Isabella has a story to tell you. Then we can answer anyones questions."

She looked everyone in the eyes before beginning her story, and she told them everything. Everyone looked shocked and amazed. It was a little uncomfortable for her.

Jessica, Angela and Mike didn't have any questions and allowed Sue to take them home while the future pack and parents were asking questions. Like "how do you know them in particular will shift" "how do you know the time frame of them shifting" "is there anything we as parents need to know to help them" and so on. Old Quil happily answered all of their questions.

When they were done, they started talking about the vampires. This is where she decided to start talking about her thoughts on the matter.

"Now, I'm not saying we go and start holding hands singing Kumbaya with any vampire we meet. But there are some who only drink from criminals of the worst kind. Rapists who don't get caught. Child abusers, child rapists, abusive husbands, and drug dealers. Or they feed off of the dying, like cancer patients with no chance of survival, battlefields, and so forth. Not every red eye vampire is out of control. In all honesty, I believe animal drinkers to be more dangerous because they are never full. Ever. They will constantly be thirsty. Granted, I know most of the Cullen's are perfectly safe and okay to be around. But there are some vampires that make a game out of chasing humans and taunting them, beating them. The female vampire your tribe killed was one who went insane after her mate was killed by them. Kind of like what would happen to an imprint. You need to have an open mind. It would be like saying all humans are abusers just because some are. Remember that. Please."

Everyone thinks about what she said, and she can see them all nodding to it. It was a relief to know they won't try to make her choose between them. Because she knows she was meant to be a vampire, and she doesn't want to lose her family over it.

"I agree. We will keep that in mind from now on." Billy agrees, with Old Quil and Harry nodding to show they also agree.

Charlie says "as a cop I can completely understand what your saying baby girl. I'll always keep that in mind." Renee nodding along, knowing she's a free spirit and probably already believed in everything she's learned over the years.

All of the future pack are in agreement, so she's just sitting there beaming at everyone. It was the best news she's ever had.

"Okay everyone, I thinks it's time we all head home and get some sleep. We've been here for a long time. Until next time." Harry lets everyone know.

When she's finally back in her bed she can feel all her tense muscles relax and sleeps like a rock that night knowing everything went well.

One Year Later

For her sixteenth birthday all her friends and their parents met them in Seattle. They toured around, ate lots of food, and went on a few rides. They went swimming, and just spent the day outside having fun.

Isabella was getting better, all her friends had started self defense classes not long after she started judo, so everyone was in shape, new how to protect themselves, along with all the girls starting gymnastics at the same time so they were all extremely flexible. Since they'll all be wrapped up in the supernatural world one way or another it was for the best.

Going to bed after that exciting fun filled day, she knew she'd wake up with a horrible sunburn, but couldn't bring herself to care. Then, she just fell asleep as her head hit the pillow.
