Ch.7

(Matt Pov)

After getting home before Bella and her arriving about five minutes later she tried to berate me with a bunch of questions but I just ignored her until she gave up. Giving me an annoyed grunt and slamming her door to her room in frustration, while I just sat on the couch watching TV. The rest of the day went as normal, though Bella was giving me a cold shoulder in spite which made me chuckle only to get an annoyed look back from her.

"So….did I miss something?" Charlie says after seeing the cold reaction between Bella and me while we were eating dinner.

"Nothing much, I just annoyed Bella by not answering her annoying questions about who I was hanging out with at school, so now she's ignoring me like she did when we were kids," I say while smirking at her, with her giving me a hard stare.

"I see....well, Bella he is allowed to have some privacy in his life," Uncle Charlie says to her getting an even more aggravated look from her.

"Whatever," Bella huffs grabbing her plate and putting it in the sink to storm off upstairs and slamming her door shut.

"So, like I said you are entitled to your privacy, but I'm curious as to who you are hanging out with that made Bella this angry. No one bad I hope?" Uncle Charlie says to me after a moment of silence after Bella stormed off.

"She is jealous because she has a crush on Edward Cullen and he's been ignoring her for the past couple of days. Plus I have become friends with Emmett Cullen and just asked out Alice Cullen on a date which I have tomorrow night," I say to him while shrugging and eating my dinner.

"......Cullens?....Oh, Dr.Carlisle's kids. They are a nice family, though they moved here a year back," Charlie says after thinking about what he knows about them.

"Wait! Bella has a crush on one of his boys? Well if they do start dating let me know, I just want to have a 'talk' with him," Charlie says to me while giving a small evil smile at the word 'talk'.

"Sure thing," I say to him while chuckling.

"You said you asked out one of the girls? Well, you're a good kid, but two things one always be a gentleman, that's the way to a ladies heart, and use protection I don't want to be a grand-uncle in my forties," Charlies says to me smirking and making me choke on my food at the protection part since it did not seem like something he would say.

"Jesus! Uncle Charlie, we haven't even gone on our first date yet," I say to him while hitting my chest trying to fix the coughing fit I had from choking.

"I mean didn't take too long for your parents to go from dating to...you," he says shrugging and thinking about the past. However, his statement had me choking again and getting another coughing fit.

"Way too much information!" I say getting a hold of myself and putting my dishes in the sink to wash them. He just laughs at me as I roll my eyes leaving for my room.

"All I'm saying is I know what teenage boys are like! I was one too once!" Charlie says to me as I'm walking up the stairs to my room, all he gets is a sigh from me.

Later that night around midnight again I woke myself up. Leaving through my window and jumping down to the ground, I then run into the woods. After running for a while towards a lake in the distance and making sure I do not smell any vampires, werewolves, or humans nearby, smelling nothing other than the usual animals I take off all my clothes. Once naked I turn towards the instinctual feeling inside me that is like a quiet ball of fury and once I tap into it, it grows until it explodes making me transform.

The pain from the first transformation was the worst and the pain I'm feeling now is nowhere near as bad. Though it still feels like someone is tearing all my muscles and reforming them, the same with my bones, they are breaking and then reforming too. The whole transformation feels like hours, but in reality, only takes maybe two minutes.

Standing on my two legs I feel immense power like I could lift mountains and run infinitely. Letting out a roar from this overpowering feeling of invisibility all animals within my range of smell and hearing which seems to be a few hundred miles (roughly around 300miles or 500km) run away or cower in fear hearing me. (he sounds like the bear roar mixed with Godzilla) It seems my sense has tripled compared to my already crazy human ones. Even in the darkness of night, I can see just as well as in day time. (Kinda like an owl but even better with his enhanced senses)

Standing next to the tree I believe to be maybe a hundred feet or so tall I can roughly guess my height is around 15ft (457cm). I must weigh must be just over a ton (roughly 2500lbs or 1150kg) since every step I take leaves a very deep imprint. My feet look like a humanism-bear mixed print and my hands are like a bear but I luckily still have an opposable thumb. Walking to the water to see my appearance it would appear that I'm a white werebear-looking being and I have all these blue slightly glowing runes littering my body.

"I would seem I'm like a giant polar bear, with Viking-like runes on my body," I say to myself out loud surprising me I can speak in a very guttural-like voice. I sound like two stones grinding on each other but at least I can speak.

Testing everything I can before the daytime comes. I find that I do not know my limit for my strength, as I lifted everything I could find. The only thing that required my two hands and some strain was pulling the hundred or so feet tree out of the ground roots and all. My reflexes have increased as well and I am just as flexible in this form as my human one. Though the only downside is I'm half as fast in this form compared to my human one, making me feel this form is more for tanking damage and dealing damage compared to my human form. After all these tests I can see the sun is starting to come up, though since it's a Saturday Bella will most likely sleep in and Charlie should too. Focusing on myself I suppress that ball of Fury inside myself but am now noticing there is a ball of coldness next to the ball of fury, like all my cold emotions are kept there.

'Later, deal with it later,' I think to myself after transforming back to my human form and getting dressed before running back home.

(Third Person Pov)

While the Cullens were all relaxing in their home and each passing the night in their own way. Carlisle and Esme by reading and relaxing near each other in Carlisle's private study. Edythe and Jasper work together to help Jasper get better control of his urges and empathic powers. Rosalie and Emmett are in the garage while Rosalie supervises Emmett while he fixes the car he dented as punishment under her supervision. Alice is in her room painting while humming, one depicting her and Matt together in a field of flowers lying under the shade of a tree and enjoying each other's company.

Then they hear a sound never heard before, one from a beast that seems to be announcing its presence to the world and saying this is its turf. Each immediately stop what they were doing and all rush to the living room to discuss what that was.

"Carlisle what the hell was that?!" Rosalie says to him as they all enter the room at the same time since he was the coven leader and oldest out of all of them.

"I'm not sure. I've never heard anything like that before. It couldn't be the Quileute, as the wolves have never sounded like that," Carlisle says after searching his memories for anything like this before.

"So what are we going to do? Should we find out what it was?" Edythe says to him while stressed about the situation.

"No, that is not a good idea. We need to contact the Quileute and see if maybe they know more. If they do not and we hear it again then we will investigate it ourselves carefully," Carlisle says to them trying to think of the best solution for this situation.

Knowing that the wolves have heard it too. Carlisle then sends an email to Billy Black asking to meet and discuss what they heard last night. Billy responds a few minutes later saying to come and discuss it with their pack leader at the border.

Meanwhile, the Quileute tribe were each sleeping in their homes. The current wolves are only Sam their leader, Paul, and Jared. It was Paul's turn to patrol their territory and as he was lying down in his wolf form relaxing waiting for the night to end, he heard a bestial roar making all his hair stand up and telling him that an apex predator is claiming this land as its own. His first instinct was to run and hide from this beast that may come and kill anything that poses a threat to its dominance, but he suppressed that feeling running to get the others.

Running back to the tribe as fast as he could, he ran into Jared who was running toward him.

"PAUL! Did you hear that crazy roar?! Sam told me to get you and come back to his house we have to talk!" Jared says to Paul stopping in front of him, as the two run into each other.

"Yeah what the fuck was that roar?!" Paul says to Jared as they start to run toward Sam's house.

"No idea, but maybe Sam knows more?" Jared says as they make the rest of the way in silence and fear at the unknown.

(For those that don't know wolves of the Quileute tribe can speak to one another in their minds, they are all linked in a way. It never specified how far from each other they can talk to, but I'm just going to assume it's within normal speaking range as if someone was talking to you in person.)

Arriving at Sam's house they see Sam waiting outside talking to Billy Black about the roar they just heard.

"Good, you're both here. I'm assuming you heard that roar?" Sam says to them as they turn back to human forms and Sam throws them each a pair of shorts to put on.

"Yeah what the fuck was that?!" Jared says to Sam and Billy, as Paul nods in agreement.

"We have no idea what that was, but whatever it was seemed to want to announce its presence. Though what that means, all we can hope is it is not an enemy," Sam says as Billy nods in agreement.

"I got an email from Carlisle Cullen. He wants to meet up and talk about that roar, go meet them at our border and see what they know," Billy says to them. They all nod and quickly undress and turn into their wolf forms running in the direction of the meeting. Sam carrying shorts in his mouth since he will transform back when meeting them.

Arriving at the meeting place, both the Cullen family and the Quileute wolf pack, meet at the stream which makes a natural border between their territories. Sam turned back into his human form in the woods before walking to the edge of the stream, to talk with the Cullens as Jared and Paul sit behind him in their wolf forms.

"Do the Quileute know anything about that beast that roared?" Carlisle asks Sam when he approaches the edge of the stream.

"No we don't, we were going to ask you if you 'vampires' had any knowledge of it," Sam says to them, but with disgust at the word vampires and getting glares from Rosalie and Edythe at the obvious dislike for them.

"That is not good…..I can try doing more research about shapeshifters or supernatural beasts and see what comes up. Or we can send some of our people to investigate it now, though I would rather research it first to get an idea of what we are dealing with," Carlisle says to sam ignoring his attitude.

"How can we know you will share all that you learn from this research of yours? Plus from the sound of it, it is on our side of the territory," Sam says to him narrowing his eyes at him in distrust.

"I have never broken an agreement I made with your people since the time it was made. Plus this concerns us both, so I will share what I learn with you, you have my word," Carlisle says to him trying to give him a warm smile, only for Sam to frown at him for smiling.

"Fine, do your research," Sam says to him while turning around to leave the meeting.

"I will email anything I find to Billy!" Carlisle shouts to Sam as he turns away to run back to his village.
