Ali: I own nothing but the plot! READ!


[Chorus]
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears [oh my]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair [that's right]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?

[Verse]
Sorry if I sound so filled with gloom
You say you care and I know you do
But this is from my experience
And my conclusion only makes sense
Just cause I love u and u love me,
It doesn't mean that we're meant to be,
I can climb mountains, swim cross the seas,
But the most frightening thing is you & me!

[Chorus]
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears [oh my]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair [that's right]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?

[Verse]
Most circumstances I know my fate
But in this love thing I don't get the game
Why does it feel like those who give in,
They only wind up losing a friend?
Just cause I love u and u love me,
It doesn't mean that we'll ever be,
Fly cross the ocean, sing for the Queen,
But the most frightening thing is you & me!

[Chorus]
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears [oh my]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair [that's right]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?

[Bridge]
I'm not sure no, I'm not sure
But if we never try we'll never know
It's better to have loved than not to love at all
But trying is worst than to stumble and fall
And if we do?
I'd rather it be with you
Cause at least there will be
Sweet memories

[Chorus]
I'm not scared of lions and tigers and bears [oh my]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
I'm not scared to perform at a sold out affair [that's right]
But I'm scared of [loving you]
Am I the only one who thinks it's an impossible task?
Why it don't last? Is that too much to ask?
Why do we love Love, when Love seems to hate us?

Bella's Pov:

I woke up, half form once more. I stretched and noticed I was curled against my father. Dragons were social when near their parents or mates others, they are nonsocial. I got up and looked outside. Raining. I shook Charlie and he looked at me with his green, yellow, and brown eyes.

"Time to leave."

He nodded and went into small dragon, not as small as the night before, but still small compared to a full sized dragon. I looked reluctant and he rolled his eyes. I shook myself and allowed myself to become a dragon. Libol and Riley came over and frowned.

"You know what we had to do for you two?" Libol said, jabbing his finger at us.

Charlie growled. Riley shoved Libol aside and looked at us dragons. "You owe us big."

I nodded and lowered myself so they could rise on my back. Libol quickly jumped on my back. I let out some sort of a purr of amusement and joy. Riley climbed onto my father's back and we quickly took off, Libol leaning forward so he wouldn't drag me back. Charlie connected with my mind.

We'll dive in a few minutes.

I nodded and rose above my father into the clouds. I shaped then as I wished and Charlie brushed my mind. I dove after him and soon we were in the mountains. I blinked, my eyes adjusting to my dark surroundings. A few elves walked towards my father and I and I growled at them. Some elves made friends with dragons, like Libol and Riley, but others tolerate us and we tolerate them. Talk about the ultimate racists. I don't feel out of place with the elves because we all tolerate each other and I have elven friends. Besides that nothing.

The elf giving me the proper attire grimaced and laid the clothes on the ground. Libol and Riley walked off. I shifted and turned my back to my father. I changed into the elven clothes, the material light yet durable, the pants loose and the shirt tight. The robe was long and pure-like. I looked at the corner of the room and it was filthy(AN:this was for my awesome and smart(and extremely special[you know the ones that do weird things) friend). I quickly turned and allowed myself to have Dragon eyes.

I glided towards the council room and bared my teeth at a hostile elf. Libol pushed my a little faster and I glared at him. Libol knew better, show no weakness to an elf. I stopped in line next to Libol and another dragon, Carol. She had blood red scales blue rims and green middles and gray around the pupils. No one liked her, but dragons might need her if elves turn on us.

I saw the council filled with white haired elves and a range of dragons. I bowed to the Council and rose, my sharpened senses focused on my surroundings. Apparently how the elves and dragons are paired is different every generation. A gong rung out and my body vibrated. I was suddenly outside of my body, my dragon self dancing through the air while I watched on the ground.

The spirit world?

I watched myself hover over every elf until I got to Libol. I watched myself wrap around Libol and growl when others got close. I was not myself. only when the gong rang again was I back in my body. I looked around and saw other dragons were just as confused. I turned to Libol and raised an eyebrow. He shrugged and I heard the roar of a dragon and soon a deep booming voice was echoing around the room.

"You have chosen your partner. From now on you will be bonded."

Chanting rose and I was overwhelmed/ I cut my palm and put it in Libol's bleeding one. I wasn't controlling myself. I felt rope bonding me to him and soon I was in control and I yanked my hand away. Libol fell and banged his head on the rocky floor. I felt a pain in my head and exclaimed. The Council was gone and Libol and I walked out of the mountain.

"I guess we're bonded," he said with a smile.

I nodded and shook myself. It's strange to be outside of your own body, watching yourself. I saw Charlie and hugged him. "I'm still hungry."

"We'll hunt tonight, for now go to hang out."

I turned into a small dragon and Libol jumped onto my back. I flew down to the forest of La Push. Something drew me back to La Push, don't know what when they could be like the Cullen's... or not Emmett and Jasper and Carlisle and Esme, but the rest. I went back into my human form in new clothes. I won't even bother going into detail, let's just say it's black and purple with combat boots.

"You think they'll be better?"

I shook my head. "Don't know Libol."

I sniffed the air, the wolves were nearby. I laughed, hoping to attract their attention. Five years apart from my friends and they are trying to ignore me. I heard a wolf and turned to see a gray pelt, Paul. I looked into his beautiful dark brown eyes and I was hypnotized. Libol tugged at my arm, breaking the spell. Paul growled while I sighed.

"Hey Paul," I said.

He huffed what I think was a hello. I looked at his glistening fur and wanted to stroke his coat. I wanted to breath his heady scent and bury my face into his warm fur. I was magnetized to him. I walked forward and stretched my hand forward. I brushed my hand against his fur when I heard a twig snap. I looked around and saw Libol look down.

"Sorry. I was shifting," he said.

When I turned around Paul was standing as a human with only a pair of jean shorts on. I silently thanked god and cursed in another part of my head. I was so close to feeling his fur and smelling his wolf scent. I smile and stuff my hands into my pockets. his scent wafts towards me because of the wind and I don't feel as hungry as I was yesterday.

"How's it going?"

I shrugged. "Good. You?"

He shrugged. "Good." He looked at Libol. "So what is he?"

I felt a tingle go up my spine and heard Libol's whisper in my mind. Don't tell him. "What do you mean?"

"He doesn't have the scent of a human, vampire, wolf, or anything that I know of."

I scrambled to find an excuse. I grabbed something from Libol instead. "He's from out of the country and he lived in the woods because he doesn't trust people."

Libol groaned mentally. You could have chosen something better.

I fought not to roll my eyes. It's better than the truth.

I waited for Paul's judgment. He shrugged. "I can understand that."

I wanted to sigh in relief, but that would be a dead giveaway to my lie. I ran a hand through my brown and midnight blue hair and looked at the green grass and mud. A light drizzle started and I sighed, finally letting out my relief but posing it as irritation. I looked at Paul again, his black hair glistening as the raindrops soaked his hair and started dripping.

"Wanna go inside?"

I looked at Libol and nodded. "Sure. Emily's is nearby right?"

Paul nodded. "Come on."

He grabbed my hand, his warmth seeping through me and sending electricity throughout my body. I let him lead me and heard Libol nagging in my mind. I pushed him out and heard him grunt. He was upset with my behavior. I was soon in Emily's.

"Is that Bella?"

I nodded. "Sorry I've been away a long time."

Emily hugged me with a huge grin on her face. "That's fine. Want a muffin."

I licked my lips. "Sure."

Yes dragons eat mainly meat and veggies but sweets are a rare delicacy. We take when we can and share with no one.

I grab a muffin and bit into the moist blueberry muffin and moaned. Libol stood in the door way. I continued to chew then I swallowed, remembering to be polite and introduce my best friend.

"This is Libol. I met him while I was gone. Libol this is Emily, Sam's fiance."

"Wife," she said with a wide grin."

I smiled but inside I was also sad. I missed Sam and Emily's wedding, I was a horrible friend to these people and I can't ever deny it. Libol walked in and looked at me with sympathy. He knew what I was feeling. I hugged Emily and kissed her cheek.

"That's great! I'm so happy for you," I said, forcing sadness away.

Right then my phone rang. Charlie. I answered, shooting a sympathetic look at Emily.

"Hey Bella," he said. "I was wondering if you'd be fine without me tomorrow? I'm going fishing with Billy."

"Sure, sure," I said, using what Jacob uses on a daily basis. "I'll be home having a party."

Charlie laughed. "Alright, have fun. No going into your room and anything else I might not approve of."

I sighed with emphasis to let him know I was playing. "But that's what makes it fun."

"Sorry. I gotta go, I'm needed on a chase."

"Bye dad."

"Bye Bells."

I hung up and laughed at Paul's face. it was in total shock that me ad Charlie were getting along like friends. I guess it could be shocking, but over five years me and Charlie just got to know each other and we finally became the best of friends. I leaned against a tree and calmed my breathing. I heard my phone beep and groaned. I flipped open the phone and looked at the text message.

Hey, I gotta go on a bonding trip with my dragon partner, be back in a few weeks to a few months.

I sighed. Riley having to go away on a bonding trip. I immediately starting texting back.

Who's your partner again?

I waited two point two seconds before he texted back.

Jessie.

I laughed and showed Libol the text. He laughed too. Riley got paired up with his "rival" aka crush since he first laid eyes on her. I was about to text back when I heard Paul growl.

"What is it?"

"This is obviously a an inside joke that I'd like to be in."

I shared a look with my elven friend. "It's something that we swore we'd never talk about."

"TO who?"

"People who are very high in the food chain," I say flatly. That's the best way I can describe the Council without blowing the oath that we were bound to by blood.

He ran a hand through his glistening hair and moved from foot to foot. His eyes trained on my. I stuffed my hands into my pockets and bit the inside of my cheek. The things that were running through my mind were protecting my friends and family. I couldn't bear it if this huge secret kept my from ever speaking to them again, but it would be worse if they were dead because I told them.

This is not going to be easy.
