Protected- Jacob Black Love story {Book 1}

{11}

Sam was on the way. Harry Clearwater had gotten Charlie and Bella out of the house. Paul, Jared and Emily were worried. And Billy was very confused.

Amelie however, was in the woods outside her house. She was pacing back and forth. 10 steps to the right, turn around, then ten steps to the left. She felt oldy aware of everything. The way the trees leaves were rustled by the wind, the animals that she could hear in the forest must have been miles away yet they sounded as though she could turn around and see them right next to her, and every car that drove by her house made her look around anxiously expecting to see Sam running towards her.

Her skin was still burning and the hair on her arms was standing. She didn't know how much longer she could stand it. She knew she had to try and wait until Sam was there with her but she'd done everything right. She was outside, she had clothes waiting for her to change into, she wasn't visible by anyone from the road and there wasn't anyone around for her to hurt.

As the seconds turned into minutes she could wait any longer. Her pacing grew faster. She squeezed her eyes shut as there was a terrible ripping like sounds as she burst through her own skin. There was pain in every part of her body. Her paws hit the floor with a loud thud she opened her eyes.

It was an unusual feeling. Having control over every sense that your body possesses. Having four legs and incredible hearing. Having a want to lie down and rest yet the feeling of wanting to run and jump and never stop. Amelie did stop. Her vision was confusing her. She had no idea what was happening so she went back to her pacing. This time only five steps to the right and five to the left because her strides were so large. Her fur rippled in the wind. Her coat was pure white. Her eyes the fiercest blue someone would have ever seen.

Again, she didn't know how much time could have past before her ears pricked up and she heard pounding of paws again the forest floor. She lifted her large head and saw Sam's black coat of fur and his bright eyes staring back at her. The sight of him calmed her down. Unlike every other new timer, she  knew about the pack and what was happening to her. But she also didn't know what was happing to her as well. She didn't have a drop of Quileute blood in her body. Well not that Amelie knew of so Amelie had no idea why and how she had just phased.

Sam guided her through her phase back into a human. Obviously he didn't look though. Amelie was shaking long after she got into the car with Sam and arrived at Emily's house.

"You okay?" Sam asked her.

"What?" Amelie's head snapped towards him as she woke from her day dream.

"Are you okay?" he asked her again, a slight look of concern on his face.

"Oh, yeah I'm fine." Amelie told him as they climbed the stairs of his house.

She could she the look on Sam's face and knew that he didn't believe her but he didn't push at it as they entered the kitchen. Paul, Jared, Billy and Harry Clearwater were sitting at the table. Emily was in the kitchen baking something that smelled amazing as usual. They all gave her a nod when she entered and Paul and Jared grinned widely.

"Take a seat Amelie." Billy said to her, gesturing to the seat next to Paul.

She sat down next to Paul. Everything seemed a lot more tense than usual. She did not like it. Amelie had always known Emily's house full of fun and sounding of laughter. Now it was serious and Amelie felt slightly scared.

"Hey Princess," Paul whispered after she had sat down. 

Amelie was thankful that at least one person was still acting the same.

Billy started the conversation, "We all know what's happened with Amelie. But we do not know why. There are many things that are different about Amelie's phase. First, she is a girl. We never knew that girls were able to phase. She has been the first one in the tribe ever."

"Wait what?" Amelie cut in.

"You probably phased cause you've been spending so much time with me." Paul said grinning, he knocked his shoulder with hers. Amelie smirked.

"Paul." Sam said warningly when he saw the disapproving look on Billy's face.

 "Can I continue?" Billy asked.

"Yes sorry." Amelie and Paul said at the same time.

"To add to that surprise we thought that Amelie didn't have Quileute blood in her body. Well I do not believe that anymore. We believe that Amelie has descended from the siren that lived with our tribe. Their were stories about is family and a son who was both a spirit warrior and nymph. His blood has been passed down and either Charlie or Renee gave the gene to you, causing you to be both wolf and nymph."

There was silence. But it wasn't worry or anger. There was an awkward feeling in the air as everyone was looking at Amelie waiting for her to say something.

She didn't know what to say though. So she blurted, "So I'm basically the same but I can turn into a wolf?"

Jared snickered but covered his mouth with his hand quickly.

She continued, "Because I don't really see what's different. I'm probably stronger, faster and just as dangerous if not more. Maybe I can turn into a wolf and maybe that's weird or something but I think it's fine. It's going to fine right? Right?" By the end of her sentence Amelie was feeling stressed and worried and angry.

"Calm down Amelie." Jared said to her, "Emily would kill you if you ruined her kitchen with your paws." It was his turn to knock his shoulders with hers.

She didn't know why she was so mad but she was. "Can everyone stop bumping against me!" She stood up. Her chair clattering to the floor behind her. Storming outside she went and sat down on the back of Sam's truck. And in true Sam fashion he came and sat next her her, not speaking just the same way as they had earlier today. It was silent for a while before Amelie spoke first.

"I'm even more of a monster now, an abomination." She sniffed.

Sam looked at her, "You're right," He said simply, "You are a monster. But I'm a monster too Amelie. I can turn into a fucking wolf. We're all monsters. What sets us apart from abominations is how we choose to act. I'm a monster for hurting Emily but that doesn't mean I can't be good. Now, I don't know about you but I'll fight until my dying breath to help humans. Not everything is black and white in this world."

She had no response for him. She closed her eyes to stop her tears from falling and leaned her head against his shoulder. She was sure that he could smell the salt in the air but Sam didn't say anything. He just put his arm around her and sat there with her.
