“In my line of work, you either become a smoker or a drinker. Be glad I'm not the latter, apparently I'm a violent drunk.”

"Well," Seer smirked, "you did get a little rowdy last time. Nearly destroyed the whole neighborhood!"

"Hey, those jerks had it comin'!" Bella protested.

“This must be the result of your accident,” Carlisle cut in, talking more to himself than anyone. “It's messed up your mind, and this child is only adding to the twisted fantasy.”

“Excuse me, Carlisle, but I'm about ten times your age, if not older, so I'd watch who I call a child.” Seer stared at the vampire. Carlisle was taken aback by the tone she used, and it showed too.

The werewolves snickered, but the laughter quickly faded when Seer turned a harsh glare onto them. For once since their transformations, the wolves felt the cold, and it was freezing under Seer's glare!

“Bella, go outside and shift,” Seer ordered. Bella nearly choked on her cigarette.

“Excuse me?”

“Just do it. It's the only thing that will prove to them this is the truth. I'd much rather they believe this on their own than because I make them.”

Bella wanted to protest, but she nodded instead. She knew Seer was right, and anyway, she owed the girl for telling the clan and pack what she had been too afraid too. Unfortunately, she would still have to deal with their reactions.

Stepping outside of the house, Seer ushered both Cullens and Quilete pack outside as well. Bella turned to face them, toeing out the cigarette with her socked foot, and readied herself for the change.

Feeling fur grow out of her body, as well as her temperature increasing, Bella sighed as the familiar sense of shifting arrived. Her senses enhanced even more, and her body grew larger and larger. She vaguely heard the sound of clothing ripping, but she knew Seer would fix that for her after she changed back, before any of the guys could see her nude.

Within seconds, a large, auburn-colored werewolf stood before the assembled group. Seer smiled softly at Bella as the chocolate eyes glanced at her torn clothes, and she silently reassured the younger girl that she would fix them. Then, turning her attention to the staring creatures, she smirked.

“So, do you believe me now?”
