Bella's P.O.V

As I arrived at Emily's house, Jacob emerged as I entered the parking lot. I exited the car and closed the door. I embraced him as he approached me.

When I hugged him, his scent filled my nose. I stepped back, gazing at Jacob. "Your smell is strong," I remarked.

Jacob smirked. "You'll need to adjust if you want to stick around," he stated.

I nodded. Jacob's intense eye contact made me uneasy. I looked away. "Let's head inside," I suggested.

"Yeah," Jacob said.

As we entered, I noticed the pack in the living room and Emily in the kitchen. As Jacob entered the living room, I froze in front of the kitchen door, too scared to proceed. Emily came closer to me, and I caught a whiff of her scent. I refrained from losing control by holding my breath.

Emily extended her hand for a handshake. "Hey, Bella, good to see you," she greeted.

I shook her hand, responding, "You too."

"You sure look different," Embry said.

"Yeah, I guess."

"Well, everybody is in the living room. Make yourself at home."

"Thanks."

I walked into the living room, and everybody looked at me.

Seth came up to me. "Hey, Bella," he greeted.

"Hey," I said.

"It's good to see you again."

"You too."

"Hey, vampire girl!" Embry yelled.

"Don't call me that," I said.

"Why weren't you annoyed before?"

"I was human, but now I'm a vampire, and I don't like people calling me one."

"Sorry."

"It's fine."

Sam stood up and exited the room.

With curiosity, I glanced at Jacob. "What's up with him?" I inquired.

"He's still not okay that you are here," Jacob responded.

"Oh."

Paul smirked at Bella. "Surprised you didn't kill us yet," he joked.

"Why would I want to kill you guys? You guys are like friends." I said.

"True, but you're a newborn."

"So?"

"So, you can kill someone by smelling their scent," Embry said.

"True, but when I smell people when they're near me, I hold my breath like I'm doing right now," I said.

"That's impressive. I've never seen a vampire do that before."

"Yeah, I learned from Edward."

"I see,"

Jacob suggested getting Sam and going.

"Yeah, okay," I said.

Upon leaving, we spotted Sam and Emily in the kitchen.

"Sam, are you ready to go?" Jacob asked.

Sam responded with a "Yes," then walked past me and headed out the door.

My eyes widened. "Wow," I exclaimed.

"I know," Jacob said.

We went outside and approached Sam. Sam turned, looked at me, and said, "You passed the first test."

I gazed at Sam, intrigued. "What test?" I inquired.

"You passed through us, killing no one. Now you need to be around humans," Sam responded.

"How do we achieve that, and how can I appear human with red eyes?"

"I've got an idea. I'll be back soon," Jacob mentioned.

Jacob then went back inside.

Jacob's P.O.V

I entered and headed to the kitchen to find Emily. "Emily!" I called out.

I heard footsteps, and Emily walked in. "Yes, Jacob," she said.

"I need some help. Bella cannot join me in town because of her eyes. What should I do?"

"I have something."

Emily exited the kitchen and returned later, carrying a large black box. When she opened it, I saw many packages of contact lenses.

Emily asked, "What's Bella's actual eye color?"

"It's dark chocolate brown," I responded.

"Okay."

Emily searched the box for the correct color and handed it to me. "Here are the contacts," she informed me.

"I don't need all them," I said.

"Take them all. Bella will need them when she's out."

I nodded. "Okay, thanks," I responded.

I left and approached Bella, who seemed curious. "What's that?" she asked, eyeing the box.

"It contacts," I responded.

"Oh."

"Use these in your eyes to appear more human."

"Okay, is there a bathroom?"

"Yes, past kitchen, living room, down hall, on the right," Sam responded.

"Thanks," I responded.

"We'll wait for you when you return," I reassured.

"Alright," Bella said.

Bella then walked down the hall.
