Hey guys.

I've wanted to write this story for a while now. It's been pondering in the back of my head and I just need to get it out. So it's a JacobxOC story, but all the favourites are in it as well.

The title 'Howl', well you will found out in the end why I chose that name. So without further to do;

Enjoy the story :)

One night, one night was all it took to change me and my sister's lives.

I was sleeping soundly in my bed when I was woken up by a door slamming. My eyes quickly opened and I sat straight up in my bed. I could hear shouting coming from the bottom floor of the house. I rubbed my eyes with fisted hands and clutched my stuffed wolf closer to me. I kicked the covers off with my little feet and walked over to my door. The yelling was still continuing downstairs; making me even more curious about what was going on down there. I opened my door and stuck my small head out.

"I can't do this anymore Charlie. I've made my mind up, ok. Just…deal with it!" I heard my mother say.

"You can't just leave. Think about the kids, think about me Renee," my father exclaimed. I didn't know what to do, so I quickly and quietly ran to my sister's room. I turned on the light once I was in the room and ran up to her bed.

"Bella, Bella! Wake up! Something's wrong," I told her in my childish voice. She groaned and squinted up and looked at me.

"What's wrong Sienna; did you have a bad dream?" she asked me in a sleepy voice. I shook my head to answer her question.

"Mummy and Daddy are yelling," I said to her.

She gave me a funny look and looked over to the door, listening. When she heard what I had heard she pulled her covers off and grabbed my hand, walking us both to the door. Before we walked out into the hallway, she turned around and put her finger to her lips, signalling me to be quiet. Now me being my nine-year old self smiled and copied her. I didn't know better than to think that it was a game. Little did I know it was much more serious than that.

We tiptoed down the hallway and to the bottom of the staircase where we could hear the voices more clearly. "It's just everything about this place, it's not me, it's not where I want to spend the rest of my life," Mum spoke.

"You've never mentioned this before Renee. Why now, why are you going to put us all through this pain now!" My dad yelled out in frustration.

I knew something was wrong now as tension built up in the conversation. I tightened my grip on Bella's hand, while she looked down at me with a worried gaze, pulling me closer to her side. We slowly continued further around the house to get nearer to where our parents were.

"What's done is done Charlie. I'll be back to talk to the girls," she said, and we heard her walking towards where we were. We quickly ran back up the stairs to the top and sat down on the top step; my little hand gripping the railings as I hid behind them. My mother was just about to walk out the door when my father's voice stopped her in her tracks.

"Renee can't we just talk about this. Just stay here for the night, and we'll work something out. You don't have to leave," he pleaded to her. I noticed my mothers hand linger on the door for a moment before she spoke up.

"If I-…if I don't get out now, then I'll be stuck here forever," she told him. And with that she opened the door and walked out. Our Dad just stood there looking at the door with a distant look within his eyes. Shuffling his feet, he made his way to the stairs and sat down. His head lowered into his hands and he looked to the floor. My teary eyes stared widely at the scene in front of me, as I let go of Bella's hand and descended down the stairs.

"Daddy…" I said quietly when I was a few steps away from him. He looked up and turned around to face me.

"Honey, what are you doing up?" he asked me wiping his face quickly. I clutched my wolf closer to me as I looked at him anxiously.

"Where did mummy go?" I asked softly. A pained expression came over his face.

"She's just gone out for a while, sweetie," he tried to reason with me, but I knew better. My lip quivered a little as scary thoughts ran within my mind.

"Is she coming back?" I said looking at the door.

"I don't know, honey. I don't know…" he said quietly. I sniffled and clutched my wolf closer to me. He noticed and beckoned me over with his arms, holding me tight and reassuringly. He rocked me back and forth with me in his arms and planted a kiss on my forehead.

"Dad, is everything ok?" Bella asked from the top step. He looked behind him once more and saw Bella looking down at him.

"Yeah Bells, come down here," he told her. She came down and sat in his lap just like me. He gave her a kiss and hugged us both tightly to his chest.

"I love you girls, no matter what alright," he whispered. He held us silently in his arms for a little longer before ushering us off to bed. I didn't want to sleep alone that night; I needed someone to be by my side, the recent events startling my small mind. So I slipped into Bella's bed as soon as our Dad was asleep.

"Bella…?" I asked as I stared up at Bella's ceiling covered with fairy lights.

"Yeah?" she questioned, yawning tiredly.

"Do you think everything's going to be ok?" I asked troubled, starting to drift off myself; my eyelids getting heavy.

"I'm not sure, I hope it is. Just go to sleep Si, we'll be ok in the morning," And before I could utter another word, sleep trapped me in its tangled web and I found myself drifting off into a deep slumber.

"But why do you have to leave mummy?" I asked my mother. We were all sitting in the living room. My mum had come back this morning to have a 'talk' with us. That's what we were doing at that moment.

"Mummy and Daddy just want to live somewhere different, darling. So I'm going to move to Arizona. Remember, where grandma is," she told me. "I'm going there and Daddy's going to stay here, with you?"

"But what about Bella," I said looking over at her. "Is she going to stay with me?" My mother had a sympathetic look on her face.

"She's going to come with me, sweetie," she told me.

"But-…but then we won't see each other, I won't see Dad!" Bella exclaimed.

"You will Bells, every summer you will come here or Sienna will come to you and your mother," Dad explained.

"But I want to see her everyday!" I told them. My lips started to quiver and my eyes started to tear up.

"I know, honey, we're sorry. But it's just the way it's going to have to be now, you girls will be fine. I promise," she said looking over at Dad guiltily. Bella shook her head and got up from the sofa in outrage.

"No, I'm not leaving my baby sister here. She's coming or I'm staying!" She yelled, then came over to me, grabbed my hand and walked out of the room with me.

As much as we denied the fact that we were going to be separated, it was going to happen. Our Mother had already gone up and packed all of Bella's stuff as they were leaving later that night.

I was devastated that my she and Bella were leaving, and hadn't stopped crying the whole time. My parents tried to comfort me, but I wouldn't even listen to a word to they said. This was my family, and they were leaving us to start a whole new life.

My mother; the person that could make everything better when it was all wrong, wasn't going to be by my side anymore. And my best friend, my sister was leaving to the other side of the country. We were so close; everything we did, we did together. We were inseparable, and now we were being torn apart from each other.

Mum's and Bella's belongings were all lined up on the front porch of the house before we knew it. It had started raining, creating a glum and depressing atmosphere as the farewell commenced. Dad went and helped mum put all the bags in the taxi while Bella pulled me aside to talk.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Sienna," Bella said. She came down on her knees and looked me in the eyes with her hands on my shoulders. "Now, you're going to be fine without me, okay? You're going to have so much more fun, and get good grades in school," I nodded my head and wiped the tears off my face.

"I don't want you to leave," I sobbed. She started to tear up and pursed her lips as she looked at me. Sighing deeply, she wrapped her arms around me; making me not want her to go even more than before.

"Bella, why don't you go say goodbye to your Father," Mum came behind us, running her hands softly through Bella's hair. Bella nodded and hugged me tightly one last time before standing up and making her way to our Dad who stood across the porch.

My mother looked at me with a gentle, sympathetic looks on her face. She opened her arms wide and bent down on her knees as I walked into her warm arms and embraced her; The sweet, memorable floral scent radiating off her.

"I love you so much, Sienna. No matter where I am in the world, I want you to remember that," I buried my face in her neck as she spoke; my arms wrapped tightly around her neck.

"You be a good girl for me, alright?" she pulled me back kissing me gently on the cheek. "And look after your Father too," she smirked jokingly. A small smile crept onto my lips as I listened to her request. And soon my arms were no longer around her, and she and Bella we're running out into the rain, into the taxi. With one final wave, they disappeared down the driveway, the sound of the horn beeping still could be heard as they turned the corner.

"Guess it's just you and me now kiddo," he said trying to put on a happy face. I might have been young, but I knew what he was doing. I looked out onto the road where my mother and sister had left just seconds ago.

"I miss them already," I said resting my head on his shoulder.

"I know, honey. I miss them too.."

And from then on, only two Swan's remained in our small town the we liked to call "Forks"
