My name is Mai Bly Nashota Unega, which means coyote, white, tall, twin. It’s not an ordinary name in any sense, but it represents my Native American heritage and who I am. When I was around 11 years old, I asked my parents why they named me that, and the only reason they gave me was because it’s a family name. At that age I didn’t know how important that family name was, but two years ago, after I turned 16, I found out why.
Let me tell あなた a little bit about myself. I am tall, skinny, and I’m extremely tan, the envy of all my フレンズ in my Forks High School. That’s right, I go to Forks HS. あなた may think this is weird, considering that my twin brother Jacob wants absolutely nothing to do with Forks (it has to do with a girl, of course). But I 愛 it there. It’s like my ホーム away from home, a place where I can be myself, または something like it, around my best friends. Jacob just doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get that I don’t care if our family is in a war with the vamps in the area. I could care less about the treaty! What he doesn’t know is that Alice, a Cullen vampire, is one of my best friends. And so is Bella, another reason he hates the school.
As I mentioned, Jacob and I are twins. I am older によって 10 hours and 33 minutes, and I always rub his nose in that. I’m definitely もっと見る mature than he is. I even phased almost a 年 earlier than he did! I’d definitely call that mature. My change was very painful, and I remember everything that happened during it. For almost a 月 after it happened, I would wake up with these nightmares and phase automatically, howling. I scared my parents a lot when I did that because I was the first person in the family that the change had lingered so long with. I’m over it now though, I sometimes will dream about that first time, but its never a nightmare.
One of the odd things about my change was that, in my 狼, オオカミ form, I くま, クマ no resemblance to myself as a human. I even look like a coyote もっと見る than a wolf. Unlike Jacob, who has the same eyes, same color 毛皮 as his hair, and even a birthmark on his back. As a human, I have long, dark black hair, bright green eyes, and my birthmark is a small moon shaped 星, つ星 on my left ankle. But in my 狼, オオカミ form, I am almost completely white, my eyes are golden, and my birthmark is on my right front paw, a black circle. I am smaller than Jacob in our 狼, オオカミ selves, but I’m taller than him as a human so we never tease each other about it. But it was weird for my parents, again, to see that I hadn’t phased in any way similar to the whole pack. I am unusual at best. To me, it’s a blessing. I feel free in my 狼, オオカミ form, and I can be someone completely different when I’m like that. To not be like anyone else, and to defy all odds is an awesome thing.
I was actually in my physics class when it started. I just thought that someone had turned the heater up really high, and started sweating like no other. I had gone into the nurse’s office where they called Dad for him to come pick me up. I remember asking him what was happening to me after the 秒 day, because the heat just wouldn’t go away. Then the pain started. It started in my finger tips. The pain hurt so much, all I did was lay in my ベッド curled up in a tight ball, crying as the pain continued slowly up my arms, down my chest and back, and finally to my legs, toes and head. Everything hurt for 3 days.
On that third 日 I was sitting holding my knees in the corner of my room, when I started shaking so bad I couldn’t see straight. I screamed for Dad to come to my room, but when he got there he told me I had to go outside right away. I couldn’t 移動する though, so he called in Jacob to carry me.
あなた should have seen Jacob’s face, all white like a ghost. I must’ve been hard to hold because the shaking just kept getting worse, and when we finally got outside, I screamed when Dad told Jacob to throw me on the grass. It took Jacob a few pushes to finally drop me. When I hit the ground it felt like there was an earthquake inside my body. I remember Dad telling Jacob in a stern voice to get in the house, and heard his wheelchair rolling on the gravel, door closing behind them.
Then after another 分 I exploded. または that’s what it felt like. But once I did, the pain automatically stopped. I felt really weird on the inside, and the out, and all of a sudden I could smell really clearly. I was closing my eyes though, and when I opened them, my vision was all weird. I could also see a black nose, which was odd. After that I remember running through the woods for almost 4 days, and when I came back to the house, there were clothes laid out for me on the doorstep. I bid myself to phase back, and I did.
When Jacob phased, he was out for a long time. He had almost the same experience as I did, except his didn’t last as long and he didn’t remember anything afterwards. After he phased though, his personality changed quite a bit, and his friend サークル, 円 changed in every way. He started to hang out with this group of guys from La Push, he always acted like he was in a gang with them.
It wasn’t until a 月 after his first phase that I found out that this “gang” was actually part of our pack. I was so mad at Dad for not telling me the truth, and mad at Jacob for being such a jerk when he was around them. (He was even rude to Bella, who he had adored before the phase. I hated that, especially considering she was one of my best friends.) Once the truth was revealed, I met Sam, the leader of the pack, and got to learn his story. About how he had phased some time ago, but had no one to tell him what was raging on inside his body. I felt sorry for him, because I don’t know what I would have done without Dad telling me everything I needed to know.
That’s pretty much my background, and a little bit of Jacobs. Here’s a little about my lifestyle. I love, absolutely 愛 to do things outside. I hate being inside for too long doing things like studying. I get stir crazy, and sometimes I’ll just phase and run around the woods for a while. But when I do human things, I do things like boxing, surfing, running, rock climbing, cliff diving, and skydiving. Pretty much anything with the word “diving” in it. The different kinds of adrenaline that’s involved in these sports are all amazing, and its what I call fun.
My お気に入り thing is cliff diving. Once I learned about the pack, I started hanging out with them a lot, both as human and wolf. One of the pack members, Embry introduced me to cliff diving a little while ago, which Dad did not like one bit. He actually forbade me to go up there for a long time, which sucked because it is my absolute お気に入り thing to do. Besides running, of course.
I’m also going to share a secret about Jacob’s relationship with Bella. Actually, あなた cant really call it a relationship, its もっと見る of a drool-fest on Jacobs side. He has the biggest crush on her, and whenever she comes over he is always hanging around. She was kind of clueless to tell あなた the truth, but when I told her he liked her, あなた could see that she liked him too. Did I mention he imprinted on her? He doesn’t know that though; Dad brought it up with me when Bella came over one 日 after Jacob changed, and told me why he was so obsessive over her after that. Eventually we’ll tell him.
Now I’m going to talk about the Cullens. My pack is sworn enemies with them, and although we have a treaty separating our two lands, they are always ready to attack if the Cullens’ overstep their boundaries. The hard thing for me is that Alice and I get along really well. At first when we met, she told me that I stunk. It was kind of rude I thought, but it was after I phased and I told her she stunk too. We were フレンズ from then on.
But something has been bothering me. Almost a 月 前 today, I was sitting in my Calculus class when I saw Alice’s brother Edward walking outside the window, and I got this really strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. I decided to just ignore it. The problem with ignoring it was that the feeling would not go away, no matter how hard I tried to forget. I had never had that problem with him before, so it was even weirder. I couldn’t stop thinking about him, and I could almost sense him wherever he was.
