I stared out of the dirty Ute's window pondering on how my new life in La Push would differ from the one I had back in New York. I spent almost an hour thinking about the pro's and con's of being moved out of the place I once called home and into my Aunt Emily's house with her fiancé Sam Uley.
The Ute turned around a small cut-out of the cliff face we were driving down. I peered down to look at the deep blue of the water below wishing one of the few things I remembered to pack was a pair of togs. The driver was a man of about 36-40 with normal coloured brown hair with grey's appearing here and there. I managed to get his name out of him which was Charlie. He went on telling me about his job He was the Chief of Police down at Forks, then about his daughter Bella whom had just gotten engaged to one of the 'Cullens'. I didn't really pay much attention to the conversation zoning in and out whenever I wasn't taking in my new surroundings, That was until he asked about my parent's.
"So Caitlin is it? What brings you down to La Push on such short notice?" He asked noticing I hadn't talked except the occasional Yes, No or Maybe I had squeaked out.
"Um, well you see…" I mumbled nobody had asked me this since my family had died.
"My family went to move to a different state… and umm… my Mom and Dad asked my Aunt Emily if I could to stay with her" My acting surprised me. I was terrible.
Charlie bought the story which made me feel even guiltier about lying; I kept focused on the scenery until I swear I saw a blur run across the side of the road.
Stop imagining things! Ever since THAT night you have become so paranoid geez, no wonder nobody else would except you..
I pushed the thought out of my head and tried to remember my Aunt Emily, the last time I saw her was when a bear attacked her and she was in hospital so the scars didn't really freak me out. My Aunt was something every artists dream about from her long black hair that cascaded about 10cm above her waist to the soft delicate features on face with the most beautiful tan thanks to her Indian Heritage. She was always smiling and never seemed depressed about what happened with the Bear, if anything she almost seemed happy. I phased out of my trance long enough for Charlie to say we only had about 5 minutes left until we reached there house. The pit in my stomach grew.
Will they like me? Are they nice people? Which house is it?
All of my questions were answered when Charlie pulled up in front of a house perfect enough for Barbie and Ken. I stared in amazement at the perfect-ness of the little house before me. Once again I was pulled out of my trance when a smiling Emily practically tackled me to the ground smothering me with 'OH MY GOD!'s and hugs. When Emily finally peeled herself off me I saw her face for the first time since the hospital visit, her face was still immaculately beautiful except the white jagged scars down the left side of her face. It constantly amazed me that Sam never ran off to find some blonde beauty but decided to stay with my Aunt Emily whenever I thought about this I always felt somewhat happy.
"Oh Caitlin it's SO good to see you, I'm so glad you said you would stay here!" My Aunt Emily beamed at me it was almost impossible not to return the smile.
"So how is everyone Aunt Em?" I asked actually curious to how Sam and their baby was doing.
"Oh they are so happy to see you and they are all so happy you could come and now your older you can just call me Emily or Em" She said beaming the whole way, I was taken aback the whole time at how genuine her and her smile was. I guess true happiness was real; I just hadn't had my serving.
As Emily pulled me up onto her front porch and inside her house I was shocked by being greeted by a huge sign reading:
"WELCOME CAITLIN HOPE YOU ENJOY DOWN HERE IN LA PUSH"
The joy that accumulated through-out my body was enough to send silent tears running down my cheeks. As I quickly grabbed a tissue from Sam, Emily pulled me into the main living room where I was greeted not by another sign but by 5 extremely tall men all from an Indian heritage. Their heights ranging from 6'5 to 6'7, I didn't take much notice of them except the huge goofy grins they had on except one who hadn't even looked up once to notice a newcomer. I could see his face was in an angry pursed together mode almost not visible from the way his just long enough not to be called short black hair hung over his face. His eyebrows were pulled into the middle as if he was confused and angered about something, no one else seemed to pay attention about him so I mentally shrugged it off. As Emily walked out of the room for a brief second the men all kindly introduced themselves except the one in the corner.
"Hi I'm Quil" The one on the left said extending his hand to meet mine wearing possibly the worlds biggest grin on his face. Quil like all the other men had a beautiful tanned colour to there skin with dark almost black hair, His hair was cut into an almost Buzz cut but he didn't really seem the type to join the army.
"And this is Embry, Paul, Jared and…err Jacob" He said almost forgetting to introduce the one in the corner as Jacob. The men all begun to tell me about La Push and how much I'd enjoy it and also to my surprise they were 17 and they were juniors along with myself, I almost fell over at the news of how young yet manly they looked.
No sooner after telling me did Emily walk in saying we were all going to watch a movie while Sam put my stuff away, I objected saying Sam should watch the movie and that my luggage was light enough for me to do it but Emily almost went crazy at the Idea literally pulling me down onto the seat and saying that today was all about me and that I should juts relax. Emily tried to turn the DVD player on and after about 20 minutes she claimed it was broken and that we should all just relax, snacks were coming. All the chairs where taken except the one next to Jacob so I quietly sat next to him and tried to start a conversation.
As I took a huge breath in I held out my hand and said
"Hi, I'm Caitlin it's nice to meet you".
