Bells

Chapter One:

Jacob Black laid in his bed staring at the ceiling deep in thought. A week ago, he had the shock of his life. The legions of his people were all true. This was his first time since he phased that he was able to sleep in his own bed again. With a sigh Jacob rolled over, glaring at the brightly lit alarm clock. He really should be sleeping. After all, he had been awake for almost 32 hours straight patrolling for leaches. Yes, he Jacob Black had phased into a wolf to protect his tribe from vampires.

As Jacob rolled over for what seemed to be the thirtieth time, a sudden loud and sharp howl came through the room with a vengeance.

Jacob was up and out the window, and had phased before Paul had time to finish his howl.

"What's going on?" Jacob asked as he phased in.

"There was a leech near the border." Paul answered as he ran into Fork "The scent isn't that old."

"I'm on my way." Jacob replied as be bolted towards Forks.

"What's going on?" Sam questioned as he phased in.

"There's a leech in Forks." Jacob answered just as Embry and Jared phased in.

"Jared I want you to head to Forks." Sam ordered "Embry stay here and protect the tribe."

As Jacob neared the border line that distinguished La Push from Forks, with Sam and Jared close behind him, he could also smell a leech. "It smells like the leech is headed towards the highway." Jacob said

"Jacob, you and I are going to run into Forks following the road." Sam said "Paul and Jared I want you both to run the perimeter around Forks. If anyone comes across the leech destroy it."

"Aye Aye Boss." Jared replied, breaking off from following Jacob and heading in the opposite direction to run a wide perimeter.

"This leech is history." Paul chorused in. This was the first time since Embry and Jacob had phased that a leech had been smelt. Every single time before hand the scent was old, and the trail led to a dead end. Each of the boys had been itching for a fight since the moment they phased.

"Maybe we will finally get to kill some leeches." Jared cheered "I've been dying for some action."

"Considering this is the only kind of action you get, I can't blame you." Paul joked as he ran the outskirts of Forks, hidden by trees.

"Shut up Paul." Jared responded angrily "we can't all be a man whore after all."

"Be quiet both of you!" Sam cut in "You need to be concentrating on finding this leech, not fighting with each other."

"Sorry Boss." Jared answered as he put his full concentration on hunting the leech down.

"Sam, the scent is getting stronger." Jacob interrupted. "And I can smell blood."

"I smell it as well Jake." Sam answered as he pushed even faster in the direction of the blood. As Sam finally caught up to Jake, the two rounded a corner a shock came into view.

"Oh my god, that's Renee's car." Jacob shouted as the sight of a mangled blue car in a ditch on the side of the road came into view. "They weren't supposed to get back from their vacation until tomorrow."

"Phase back Jacob." Sam ordered as he to phased back into his human form. Pulling on their shorts quickly, the two ran to the scene.

Sam dove into the car the moment he reached it. One glance at Charlie and Renee was all it took for him to know it was too late. They were gone.

"I'm sorry Jake." Sam said sadly looking down as he climbed out of the car. "They're gone."

"They can't be gone!" Jacob shouted as tears started to well up in his eyes "you need to check them again!"

"I'm sorry," Sam repeated "but Charlie and Renee are gone."

"What about the baby?" Jake asked tearfully.

"I didn't see her." Sam answered, climbing back into the car to search "She's not here!"

"What do you mean she's not there?" Jacob roared in complete terror. "Where is the baby?"

"I don't know Jake." Sam answered "but she's not here."
