song no sounds but the wind

I tear through the forest , searching. I turn finding Emmett, cold, distant. But his face begins to MORPH and becomes Paul's. I reach for him but he bolts backward, suddenly many yards away.

"Paul I call.''

He retreats further, disappearing until I'm alone.

BLACKNESS encroaches, the moonlight becoming a tiny

spotlight on me. I search the dark - then see a pair

of eyes, female, blood-red - coming toward me; I bolt away before she grabs me I scream she bits into my neck a screeching noise surrounds us.

I toss myself awake gasping for air , slowly realizing it was just

a dream. But I hear the screeching noise again!

Fingernails on my window. I bolts upright, looks

around for a weapon

"Bryn! God dammit open the window Paul whisper yells?''

I move towards the window to find a shirtless Paul clinging to the top of a tree which bends

with his weight.

"What the hell are you doing.'' i whisper

"Get out of my way he says.''

He begins to swing his legs, increasing momentum. He launches himself through the window with great agility he lands on the balls of his feet. He freezes, listening for Charlie. Nothing. A bitter, self-satisfied grin spreads on his face.

"What the hell I ask?'' he walks towards me gripping my face and kissing me a part of me fills whole as he lips push against mine I kiss back. He pulls away breathless resting his forehead to mine.

"I don't care if you still love him Paul says.'' I look up to his eyes peering through my eyelash

"Your here with me right now I'm not going to waste my chance he says.''

Kissing me again my fingers wrap in his hair he backs me towards the bed pushing me backwards he unbuttons his shorts, coming down to me kissing down my neck I gasp.

"Quite Paul says.'' taking off my hist he kisses down my chest every inch of my body is on fire he stops above my shorts his breath on my against my stomach makes me quiver. I looks up to me I nod my head he removes my shorts

**************************************

I wake up in my bed a shirtless Paul tangled in my sheets. I lay there just watching his sleep.

"Your staring is creepy he says.'' sleepy

"Not staring admiring I say.''

"Same thing he says.'' pulling me into his body and nuzzling his head into my neck

"Sleep well i ask?''

"I always sleep better when I'm next to you he says.'' my door burst open

"Holy shit Charlie says.'' covering his eyes

"Dad knock I say.'' closing the door

"Bryn Amaris you put close on and come out he says.'' I grab my shirt and my shorts and step out the door closing it behind me. Charlie stand there arms crossed in front of his chest

"How many times has he been here at night he asks?''

"Once I say.'' he gives me the Dad look

"Twice I say.'' rolling my eyes and crossing my arms over my chest

"Twice jesus christ he says.'' running his hands through his hair

"Dad look I....."

"No need to explain your nineteen do what you want I just want to know?''

"Know what I ask?''

"Are you being safe he asks?''

"No.. Dad I don't want to talk about this I say.'' covering my hands over my ears

"If you can do it you can talk about it he says.''

"Yes dad I'm being safe I say.''

"I'll be in my room he has 10 minutes to leave Charlie says.'' walking down the stairs

When I come back into my room Paul is already dressed

"That was fun he says.''

"Shut up I say.'' slapping his chest

"I half to go Paul says.''

"I know I say.'' resting my head on his chest he kisses my forehead

"Oh and I love you to he says.'' jumping out the window

I hear the truck start outside and take off

"Shit I say.'' throwing on pants and a hoodie I jump on my Bike taking after her she beats me there by a hot minute.

"Bella, there's nothing to see here. You should go home, Sam says.'' I hop off my bike throwing my helmet and running down to wear they all stand.

"Not until I know what you did to Jacob Bella says.''

"What we did Paul says?!'' advancing on Bella I move in front of Bella protectively, facing Paul.

"Both of you, calm down Sam says.''

"Sam, we knows things about the bloodsuckers. We've been on the

inside. we can help I say.''

"Like a leech lover's gonna help us Paul says.'' im takin back by his words

"Looks whose calling names now I say.''

"Not you, you know what I meant Paul says.''

"Sure I do.'' Bella jumps in front of me smacking Paul across his face it all flashes before me so fast I grab Bella pushing her to the ground.

Pauls body body begin to shake, nearly convulse. Paul rises, outraged, throws his head back in a growl,vibrating violently.

"To late now jared says.''

"Bella, Bryn get back.'' I help her up

"Run I say.''

Paul FALLS FORWARD but halfway to the ground there's a loud

RIPPING noise and Paul explodes in silver-gray fur, becoming

a massive wolf crouched and ready to spring!

Jacob emerges from the deck

"Run Jacob Bella yells.'' he jumps the rail and run runs towards us

"Jake no Bella says.''

jacob DIVES headfirst into the air - with another sharp

TEARING sound, shreds of cloth blast into the air, fur BURSTS from Jacob's skin - he lands on the ground a gigantic

russet-brown wolf, charging the Paul-wolf.

Bella reels as the two wolves CRASH into each other,

snarling and RAMMING one another. The sound is DEAFENING.

Their teeth flash at each other's throats.

Bella stumbles backward as the fight carries the two wolves

beyond the clearing and into the woods

"Bella it's okay I say.''

Sam kicks off his shoes

"Take the girls to Emily's place Sam yells!"

"Guess the wolf's out of the bag Embry says.'' jumping on my back and kicking his feet

"Go pony Go Embry says.'' we all walk towards the truck and my bike

"Drive Bella, I'll take embry I say.''

"I'm not getting on the dealth machine he says.'' I throw and extra helmet into his stomach

"Get on the damn bike Embry I say.''

"Five bucks he pukes Jared Yells!'' climbing into Bella's truck
