Bella? Is that you?

Chapter 12

this may seem confusing, but I need to write it like this or the story won't make sense.

BELLA'S POV

"Alice, it's fine. Come here."

She seemed a little nervous, but moved a little closer. I wrapped my arms around her and she lay her head on my shoulder. I kissed her, and she cuddled into my side.

"I just don't want to make you-"

"Alice, stop. You don't. I'm OK with this now. My little stunt in the cottage should have told you that."

Well, it should've.

She smiled, looking up at me.

"I know. I still have to get you back for that."

I shook my head, thinking about that. She was the one who started it.

"Oh no. You started it."

She laughed, and lay her hand across my stomach. I giggled, my stomach is a little ticklish. Something she would use against me. She seemed to realise what she had done, and smiled. She started tickling me, and I tried to stop her, but I couldn't exactly stop her. She's faster than me.

So, it led to her being on top of me, tickling my sides. I wasn't having any luck stopping her. I remembered that she was ticklish as well, but I couldn't exactly stop her, could I?

"Alice!"

She laughed, and she kept tickling me. She shifted and I felt myself getting excited. She felt it to, but kept up with what she was doing. I reached out, trying to tickle her, and it worked. She pulled away, trying to get away.

"Bella!"

I started tickling her, and somehow I ended up on top of her. I'm still not sure how. But, she wasn't giving in anytime soon.

"So, who started it?"

Alice laughed, trying to stop me. I knew she was letting me do this, but it was still fun.

I started on her sides, and asked again.

"Alice, who started it?"

She laughed, looking at me.

"It was ...... M......Me."

LEAH'S POV

"What is it, Leah?"

I looked at Kate, nervous. I had never told anyone about this. Well, Bella figured it out, but she was the only other girl in the pack. Kate squeezed my hand, and smiled at me.

"Leah, what ever it is, you can talk to me. I care about you."

I smiled at her, but I was still really nervous.

"Well, how much do you know about the wolves?"

She sat up, but didn't let go of my hand.

"I know that most shifters are guys, and that for some reason, Bella is a silver fox. I know that you are the only girls in the pack. Normally, we can't be around them, but I can be around Bella, she's a different type of shifter. As for you, I assumed it was the imprint. Nothing else really. Well, apart from the fact that your clothes tear when you phase. And a few other things. Why?"

I took a deep breath, thinking about how I was going to explain this. Would she still want to be with me, if she knew I was different? Wait ........... What other things?

"Wh...... What other things?"

Kate laughed, and moved a little closer.

"Nothing that important. Just the fact the girls are a little different." She squeezed my knee. "From other girls."

She .............. She knew?

"You .......... You knew?"

She shook her head, looking at me.

"Of course I knew silly. I've known about the pack for a long time, so I found out a few things. I don't care about that, you're still Leah. And I knew what you were going to say. Why would that make me think that I didn't want to be with you? None of that matters to me. Plus, when you get excited, it's kinda hard to miss."

I blushed, burying my face in my hands. I heard her laugh, and squeeze my knee. She really needed to stop doing that.

"Leah, look at me."

OK, I'll admit, It's kinda hard to be around her when I get excited. But, I wanted to get used being around her and not feel awkward if I do get excited.

I looked up at her, and she was watching me.

"Leah, you're still you. The same person, that I've been getting to know for the past few weeks. I don't care about any of that. And you don't have to feel awkward around me. Knowing I have that effect on you, well it's not a bad thing. Well, not to me."

She laughed, while I turned every shade of red there is. She .......... She knew and she never told me. I guess she didn't want to make this even more difficult, if we never started seeing one another. I guess I could understand that.

"Kate, I just ........ I can't believe you actually knew. I was expecting you to freak out, and not want to be with me, when I told you."

She shook her head, and grabbed my hand. She moved our hands to my lap, and I started to get a little nervous.

"Leah, don't be nervous. I'm just holding your hand, there's nothing wrong with that. I would never do something like that, silly. I care about you."

I leaned against her, relieved. She was OK with it.

"I can't help it, but I'll get used to it. I care about you to, I just wanna take this slow."

"I know you will. And, I want to take this slowly as well."

HAYLEY'S POV

"Lucas! Give me that!"

Lucas laughed, holding my laptop above his head. His taller than me, so I couldn't reach it.

"Melody! Lucas is being an idiot!"

"Lucas, what ever you did ..... Un-do it!"

He grumbled about that. He knew better than to argue with her. He gave me back the laptop, and I hit him.

"Ow!"

"Well, don't take my stuff then."

I went up to my room, sitting on my bed. That idiot was always taking my stuff! I shook my head, and heard Melody giving out to him. I laughed, when she smacked him. He may have imprinted on her, but that didn't mean that he couldn't annoy her.

I checked my laptop to make sure that he hadn't done anything to it, and once I was sure that he hadn't anything to it, I decided to go out.

I walked out of the house, and phased. I was different to my brother and Melody. They were black and brown when they phased, but I was white with patches of black on my face. I decided to look around a bit.

I reached a clearing and knew I was close to the other house. And I knew they were vampires. Great, now we have that to worry about.

"Hope! Where are you going?"

I saw a guy with long hair, following someone. He had his back to me, and didn't notice me. The person he was following turned around and ............... I think I just found my imprint.
