Moonlight Mist
Chapter1
I sit there staring out the window at the sea of trees with the setting sun floating on top of it. Thank God the road smooth because the plain rides had me woozy and a rough road would have made me collapse. I was moving to a place with fickle weather and cold. But I guess it's not all that bad I have always been the type to get hot easily, especially lately my skin seems to be getting hotter and hotter each time I touch it, but I just ignore it. I laid down on the seat of the car and thought about why I was here, see my mom got married and I like the guy, but I wanted to them some time alone and I haven't seen my aunt and my cousin Embry.
So I suggested that I go and live with her in La Push, Washington. I looked up to the front of the car and I saw my aunt humming and bobbing from side to side to a song on the radio and I smiled, it was some alternative rock song, she seemed to like it a lot. I heard there was a beach in the res., and I couldn't believe it. I heard some laughter and splashing so I sat up, I saw like nine guys and two girls on the beach and they were laughing and smiling, they really looked like they where having fun and that perked me up a little. We road past and I thought I saw one of the guys look at me, he was gorgeous.
The car shook and rattled when we pulled onto the dirt road that lead to her little small white house with the dark gray roof with a full lawn with little lawn ornaments and flowers, surrounded by the woods. She turned off the car and got out, I followed and she went to the trunk to get one of my suitcases and I got the other one and two small bags. We walked up the walkway and she opened the door
"Welcome to my humble abode!" she said with enthusiasm, I glanced around her little ranch house, it was so cute and calming
"Your room is in the back on the left, here I'll show you" she went through the living room, to the yard long hallway, towards my new room and I politely followed. It was very nice; my mother must have told her that my favorite color was purple.
"Your mom told me that your favorite color was purple, there's mostly plum purple, and I decorated it and put some accents of pale green, I got to be a interior designer so I'm happy" she chuckled. I laughed to
"Thanks, I love it!" I tried to be as enthusiastic as she was but I don't think it work to well.
"Well umm, I'll leave you to get settled in kay" she smiled, put my bag on my bed and walked out of the room. I put my bag down and jumped on my bed then laid back. I started thinking about the boys on the beach, they were all really tall with very nice and defined bodies, but the one that caught my eye was a slightly taller than the rest and from what I saw he was beautiful, I marveled at the glimpse of beauty that stuck in my mind. They all had the same cute short cut and the girls, well one of them had long hair and the other had it a little past her shoulders. They were all very gorgeous people, I guess I might go to the beach one of these days and see if there, there.
I fell asleep and when I awoke, a familiar aroma filled my nose and I jumped up and ran into the kitchen, my aunt looked up and grinned "I knew this would make you perk up!" she said joking
"I know this is your favorite, more inside information that I got from your mom, here sit down" I sat down eagerly and looked at the plate, it was just like my mother made it, I dug in like I haven't eating in days, another weird thing that has been happening to me lately, I was always hungry, and eating piles of food when I did. We talked a little, between shovels of food, she told me where my school was and how to get there.
"Aunt Jenny?" I asked "Yes sweetie" said with food in her mouth "How do u get to the beach here and what is it called?" I asked her anxiously
"Umm, it's called La Push and it's right off my house you just go down the road for about a mile and down the path and there it is, why?" she asked me curiously
"I just wanted to know because, we road past it and I saw some kids hanging out down there and it looked like fun!" I said.
"Oh well yea that's how you get there" she said smiling
"Do you want me to right the directions down for you." she asked me putting another fork full of food in her mouth
"No, its okay "I said exited
"Auntie?" I said looking down at my plate
"Yes, what's up?" she said clearing her mouth
"Have you seen Embry lately?" I asked swirling my fork on my plate
"Umm, the last time I saw him was a week ago, I went over his house to see his mother and I caught him as he walked out of the door he hugged me and said goodbye, then ran off into the woods with his friends, I told her that you were coming to stay for a while, so she said that he comes and goes but she'll tell him that you are coming and to come see you or call or something"
"Okay, I think I will stop by the one of these days" I got up and put my plate in the sink and washed it, then I hugged my aunt and went to my room and laid down on the bed, I was kind of sleepy but I just laid there thinking about what would probably await me tomorrow. I opened my eyes with the sun peering through the one window in my room, I liked it that way. I got dressed for my first day of school in the reservation, I looked in my closet and got out my purple t-shirt and my straight legged jeans then I grabbed my purple Abercrombie and Fitch hoodie and got my bag and took a shower, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair and went into the kitchen and my aunt was standing there smiling
"You ready for your first day at your brand new school?" she said "Yeah, I am" I said trying to hide my reluctance but it didn't work again
"I know you're nervous but it'll be ok" she said as she came over to me and put her arm around me, I grabbed both our jackets and we walked out the door. I don't really like starting in a new school, because I got to make all new friends and when you walk in there, they all stare at you. So we walked out to the car and we got in, she turned the motor on in her 79 camaro, I personally like it, it's not like an ugly, rusty, pile of junk I wonder who fixed it for her.
"Aunty," I asked
"Yes" she answered keeping her eyes on the road
"Who restored this car for you, it looks great!" I said
"Well umm, oh the boy down the road from where Embry lives" she answered
"His name I think is Jacob Black" I turned my back to look back out the window
"Oh, okay."
I said as she pulled up into a big parking lot and at the top was a big brick red school building with little kids running around in the yard and the older kids hanging out by their cars trying to look cool, I giggled. I see them looking over at the car whispering to each other, I got out the car and said goodbye to my aunt. I walked up the path and through the parking lot with all eyes on me and whispers flowing in the wind. I heard someone call out to me; it was a male voice
"Hey!" I turned around and I saw a beautiful, tall, golden brown skinned boy running up to me, his hair was long, down his back and it was out and flowing in the wind as he ran up to me. As he got closer and closer I could see that he was smiling and that he had dimples, I kind of like dimples. He finally reached me
"Hey your the new girl right?" he said grinning
"Yeah, I am" I gave a weak smiled
"I'm Kevin!" He held his hand out for me to shake and I did
"My name is―" He cut me off
"Your Kathryn, I saw your name on the teacher's desk as I was leaving the classroom!" he smiled letting go of my hand. I looked at him for a minute, he was gorgeous, and his golden brown skin of his face was silky smooth like it was made of velvet. His eyes were light brown and they sparkled with excitement. He had to be about 6'3 and I could see his toned muscles pressing through his fitted tan jacket
"Come on and hang out with us!" He put his arm around me, I felt a rush of warmth wash over me when he touched me, and his body was kind of hot. We walked to the middle of the parking lot were a big chocolate brown van with A rainbow design on the doors, it wasn't tacky, but pretty. There were two girls and two other boys all gathered around the van.
"This is Kathryn you guys, the new girl!" he bounced and they waved at me, I waved back and smiled.
"We know you told us a bout a million times!" Kevin shot the other boy a nasty look, I giggled
"Okay this is ma man Maurice and this is ma other man Devon!" they smiled, Maurice came to about Kevin's eyes, Kevin was the tallest of the two boys. Maurice skin was a smooth shiny shade of bronze and he was also beautiful like Kevin. His long brown hair was tide into a ponytail held together by a rubber band with stray hairs falling across his face like thin ribbons. He had on a dark green jacket and I could see his defined chest pressing through the white shirt he wore underneath. I looked at his face and it was smooth and clear like Kevin's, then I rolled my eyes up to his and they were chocolate brown and lit up from the sunlight peeking through the clouds.
Devon, he came to about Kevin's nose, his skin was the color of copper, and it was smooth and silky. His face was prominent yet soft and his eyes were a dark honey, they were beautiful. He was husker than Maurice because he was slightly shorter, so his body looked even more defined.
"And these to sexy mamma seta's are Mariah and Kira!" they smiled to. Mariah was a short and curvy, wearing a leather jacket a striped t-shirt and jeans, she had light brown skin and her hair was long and came to the middle of her back like mine but it was dirty blond with smaller curls and mine was black with bigger curls. Her face was clear like the others and smooth; her eyes were light brown like Kevin's. Kira was tall and slender, she had on a hoodie, denim jacket and a t-shirt with jeans, her skin was a chestnut color, and her hair was dark brown, pined up into a fountain like pony tale. I glanced at her face and then my eyes rolled to hers, they were bright hazel and shown without any light.
They were beautiful. We sat in the parking lot, talking and laughing, the bell rang and we all walked inside with the other kids. Kevin, Maurice, and Devon walked in front of me, Kira and Mariah messing with random kids walking by. Kira and Mariah sat down in the back with the boys and Mariah motioned me to come and sit with them. I walked into the class room and started to the back of the class, every eye was on me as I knew they would.
I slipped through the ails and jumped into the first empty seat I saw near Kevin and the rest and hid my face in my book. The teacher walked in and put a stack of books on here cluttered desk and sat her bag beside it. She stood in front of the board and wrote Mrs. Julius on it, and turned around and smiled
"My name I Mrs. Julius and the reason I say this is that we have a new student!" she said exited and every eye in the class whipped around to look at me.
"Kathryn can you come up to the front of the class please?" I looked at her like do I have to and she replied with a nod. I slowly made my was to the front of the class and stood of the side of the desk and gave her a shy look.
"So tell us your name, how old you are and where you're from!" she bubbled
"Umm my name is Kathryn, I'm 16 and I'm from Philadelphia" I said shyly
"Oh, okay so what do you like to for fun Kathryn?" I didn't dare look out into the class knowing what would meet my eyes if I did. I cleared the lump in my throat and took a deep breath then I began
"Umm, I like to sing, play my guitar, read write―" she cut me off
"Oh you read and write, what do you like to write?!" she shouted, I bit my bottom lip and continued
"Umm I writ stories but there's no particular genre that I stay on, it's pretty much whatever comes to me and I roll with it" I gave a weak smile.
"Well that's just wonderful Kathryn!" I looked at her and she nodded knowing that I wanted to disappear again, so I made my way hopefully for the last time to the back of the room to sit down, I slumped in my and covered my face with my book. The day went by pretty quickly; we all walked out of the school building into the parking lot. I walked to the edge of the parking lot to wait for my aunt after waving goodbye to everyone. I looked around taking in the beautiful scenery that surrounded the school then as I turned my head to look I saw Kevin running up to me. He reached me and said
"Hey Kat do you need a ride home, cause I'd give you one if you wanted me to" he said tripping over himself, I giggled softly, he blushed.
"Umm, no, my aunt is coming to pick me up" I said seeing his face deflate a little
"But maybe tomorrow!" I flashed him a sweet smile saw his face flush and brighten back up
"Okay, oh! Do you think you would maybe want to go to La Push with us tomorrow?" he asked me pleading with his eyes, I paused for a minute thinking about the beautiful creature that looked at me on that very beach
"Sure, I would love to go with you guys!" I said exited he beamed
"Cool, come to school tomorrow with the stuff you want to take with you and when you get here put it in my truck and we'll drive there after school!" I nodded and smiled just then I heard a car pull up behind me and the honking of a horn, it was my aunt. I waved bye to Kevin and got in the car, my aunt had a smirk on her face and was looking at me I turned my head around to look out the window and I felt her eyes burning into the back of my neck, I turned my head around slowly and to see that she was still looking at me with that smirk
"What?!" I yelled finally breaking the silence
"Nothing, who was the guy u where talking to?" I shrugged my shoulders and twiddled my thumbs
"Oh okay he was cute, do you like him?!" I looked at her like she was crazy
"No, he's just a friend I guess!" she held her hands up in surrender, cracking up at my blushing face
"Okay, okay sorry!" I flashed another look and smiled then turned my head to look back out the window. We got home and I went strait to my, I put my bag down near the door and laid down on my bed staring at the ceiling for a minute then got up and I remembered the little song on my aunt's mantle in the wooden frame, I went to go get it, sat in my room and tried to play it. I kind of got the hang of it, but it's still a little scratchy. I walked into the hallway to go to the kitchen to get something to eat, I opened the fridge and it was filled with almost all the stuff I love to eat. I got out a box of tacos and opened the box then put them in the microwave then I leaned against the counter and waited for them to be done.
I glanced over my aunt's quaint little house and smiled then heard a light snoring and I noticed that TV was on, then I saw my aunt with her head tilted back of the backrest of the couch knocked out sleep, must have been a long day. I nudged her to wake her up and helped her to her room pulled back the covers and she got then I was about to say goodnight but she was already asleep. I went back into the kitchen and got my food, I put all of the tacos that were in the box on a plate and put salsa on them and gobbled them all down one by one, I don't know why or how my appetite has grown but I was hungry most of the time. I put my plate in the sink and then walked through the hallway to my room and closed the door. The only light in my room was the light coming from my window, the moonlight, I went to the window and the moon was huge, it was full and bright.
The moon always kind of captivates me, puts me in some what of a trance, I shook my head as if I were snapping out of something, then I took my clothes I had on today and put then into my hamper that she bought for my room, I went to my drawer and got out a undershirt and my plum colored shorts that I love so much and put them on. I got under the covers and sat there looking at the lines on my ceiling that came from the light coming from my window, I closed my eyes and a minute later I was running trough the woods, trees whipping past me in a blur, I heard a deep familiar voice in my head saying
: Kitty, sweetie, I need you to go to the nearest clearing, sit there and wait for either me, Leah Clearwater, or Jacob Black.
Me: Who are you?
Before he could answer I was at the clearing and I stopped and sat on the grass
Me: I'm there
A new voice spoke it was deeper than the other
: I'm almost near her; I can see her in the clearing I'll go in slowly so I won't scare here
: I'm almost there Kitty, Leah where are you?
Then a female voice spoke, it was very sweet
: I'm almost there to but I think Jacobs closer
I sat there confused at the conversation in my head and then I heard the name 'Jacob' and gasped. I laid my head on the ground trying to block out all the voices in my head, I thought l was going crazy. I looked up at the trees above me, trying to calm myself, the sunlight was peeking through them, my eyes rolled to the ground and the sunlight was shining on the grass like a million diamonds. I heard a twig break in the distance; I stood up in alarm, then I saw a shadow in the trees. The figure was in the shape of and animal, so I thought it was that brown wolf from my dreams; I cocked my head in confusion, I was more intrigued than scared. I heard a loud cracking noise and saw a bright white light in the trees. The figure walked out of the trees completely revealing it self, it was a very tall, very handsome boy but I couldn't really see his face. My eyes widened at his beauty, but still with my guard up. He looked like he was going to speak and then.
