I grabbed my hoodie, covering the ugly scar which started at my collarbone and ended by my left hip. I’m going to kill Seth for that.

It all happened about a month after they left. They never cared about me, and left. I thought I had a fever, but one night I was in Seth’s and it happened. I’d just found out he was a werewolf. But, I turned into a giant cat. No one understands why I turn into a cat, but my parents understand. They were shocked at first, but after some research, apparently there is someone in my family tree who was a wolf. I got the scar from Seth training me along with Chase, another wolf.

Anyway back to the story…………

I grabbed my bag, going to meet Seth. Only to be stopped by my mom.

“Where are you off to Bella?”

I sighed, she was always worrying. It got worse after I phased.

“Going to meet Seth and Chase.”

She nodded, and I left. We lived about 20 minutes away from them, and by the time I got there they were grumbling about me being late.

“Yeah, yeah. What’s going on?”

They laughed, as they walked over to me. Chase leaned against my truck, smiling at me.

I was still really depressed about them leaving, but being around them help.

“Nothing. We just wanted to see you. How are you?”

I shook my head looking at Seth. I’d been there the day before.

“I was here yesterday, Seth. How do you think I am?”

They looked at each other, I know they didn’t deserve it, but they were the only people who would still talk to me. I’d just graduated, so it’s not like I had school to distract me.

“Yeah, anyway, what do you want to do today?”

I shrugged, looking up at Chase. His blonde hair falling into his eyes, as he looked down at me.

“Whatever. I don’t care, really.”

He nodded, suggesting we go to the beach. As we walked down, I thought about how much I missed them all. Even the shopping trips with Alice. I hated it with a passion, but no one can say no to her. Not with the pout and the puppy dog eyes. I was mush when she would do that.

We sat down on some logs, and started talking.

“Hey Bella, want to go to the party at Jake’s tonight with us?”

I looked at Chase, shaking my head. I knew they were trying to make me feel better. But, I just couldn’t.

“No, I’m just going to stay in tonight.”

He looked at me, trying to make me smile, but it didn’t work.

“Oh come on, you’ll enjoy it. Plus you could get Seth back.”

“Hey! That was an accident!”

Chase laughed, looking at Seth.

“As much fun as that sounds, I’m going to stay in.”

They both nodded. It was getting dark and I decided to go home.

“I’ll see you soon, OK?”

They both smiled, and went to get ready for the party.

I got back home, grabbing my bag off the seat beside me. Opened the front door, noticing the lights were on. Odd, my parents were out. I had the house to myself tonight, and I knew they wouldn’t leave lights on.

The hall light was on, so I walked into the living room switching on the light.

I heard someone behind me, so I turned around. And there she was. Alice.

Then something strange happened. I’d been told about imprinting. How we hated to be separated from our imprint, how much it hurt if we ignored the imprint, (although why someone would ignore it, I don’t know). But, it didn’t prepare me for how I felt when I saw her.

“Bella, what are you doing here?”

I didn’t answer her, just stared at her.

“Bella!”

Before I could stop myself, I hugged her. She was shocked but wrapped her arms around me.

“Would you please tell me what you’re doing here?”

Somehow, I managed to answer her.

“I think the question is, what are you doing here?”

She shook her head.

“I couldn’t see you in my visions, and I had to make sure you were OK.”

She shook her head, before continuing.

“Bella, since when do you have a cat?”

Oh right, I should tell her about that.

“I’ll get to that in a minute. Are the others with you?”

She shook her head.

“No, I came back on my own.”

I nodded, sitting down on the sofa. Alice sat next to me.

“I have something I need to talk to you about. You know my friends Seth and Chase?”

She nodded, and I continued.

“Well, they’re werewolves.”

She didn’t seem shocked by that, only by the fact I was still friends with them.

“Bella, they can be unpredictable.”

“That’s not all.”

She looked at me, confused.

“I’m a werecat. I turn into a large cat, not a dog.”

She just looked at me.

“That explains why I can smell a cat, and why I cant see you.”

She seemed relieved, but shocked.

“Yeah. It was about a week and a half ago.”

She looked at me.

“That’s when my visions started to get fuzzy.”

I looked at her, seeing how relieved she was I was OK.

“What did the others say about you decided to come back here?”

She looked away.

“They were worried, not knowing what I was going to find.”

I nodded, thinking about what to say.

“Bella, how are you a werecat?”

I should’ve expected this, but I was a little distracted.

“Apparently someone in my family on my fathers side was a wolf. They don’t know why I turn into a cat though.”

We talked for a while, but I kept getting side-tracked thinking about the imprint. I wasn’t ignoring it, and Alice noticed me getting distracted.

“Bella, is everything OK?”

I just looked at her, not knowing how to answer her.

Should I tell her or wait?
