Standing tall, patiently waiting--I was prepared. I hadn't bothered to storm into Jacob's house--there was no point. So, standing on a small plank of wood, I watched and I waited as the alpha and his little cubs approached. "Do you guys own shirts?" I addressed the clan, "Or is it just too hot under your collars(?)" I unfolded my arms and advanced mere feet with my smirk, "You looking for Jake?--You really do keep him on a tight leash, don't you(?)"

"What did he tell you?!" Paul growled--I guess someone picked up on my puns.

"Nothing," I shrugged casually.

"Calm down," Sam rested a hand on Paul's shoulder.

"What Did He Say?!" the pup snarled.

The slap didn't hurt as much as I thought it would, then again--it's not like I had a choice. Even if it's a stupid excuse, my hand automatically attacked--the plot more interested in this fight than I was. I suppose a good defense would be; I don't like people screaming in my face as an attempt to intimidate me.

"Bella get back!" I easily followed Sam's order, stumbling as Paul's breaths grew more ragged--his body shaking with anger. "Paul, Calm Down, Now!" The same fear spiked in my gut as when I first realized James was really a bloodthirsty killing machine instead of an actor paying that month's rent--I was terrified, only when the wolf tore out of it's human did I realize that fact.

"BELLA!" sounded from behind me as my shaking legs trailing backward decided this was a good time to trip. I fell on my a$$, only able to watch as an orangy ball of fluff jumped overhead--Jacob and Paul growling at each other. They padded their paws, hair standing on end before lunging towards the other. Necks were bitten, backs clawed, an innocent boat broken in half before both wolves rolled into the forest's shadows.

"Hey! Take Bella back to Emily's place," I heard Sam's voice order, my eyes still glued to the last position of the fighting beasts.

"Guess the wolf's out of the bag," I finally blinked, noticing the two boys standing above me.

"So, I guess teasing isn't the best idea?" I tried to ease my tense shoulders, Embry and Jared only chuckling before helping me stand.

Twin 'Whoops' pulled me from taking in my surroundings. "Is Jacob gonna be okay?" I tugged at my sleeve, not really excited to have my bite on show to the whole pack.

"I hope Paul sinks some teeth in him. Serves him right," my question was ignored.

"No way! Jacob's a natural," Embry refused, "You see him phase on the fly? I got five says Paul doesn't touch him...--Come on in, Bella. We won't bite."

"Speak for yourself," Embry's coaxing was crushed with Jared's comment, my eyes narrowing slightly as I trailed after the pair to enter Emily's home.

My complete entrance was halted, however, by Embry's warning; "Oh, hey, about Emily, Sam's fiancee? Don't stare. It bugs Sam," 'Why? Does taking notice make him feel guilty?' was a thought process I'd never share. Instead, my lips pulled into a small smile, head-nodding until I was finally allowed to pass.
