It isn't easy being a mythical creature, I'll tell you that. It's even harder leaving behind the people like you. I'm almost positive you've heard the story of Jacob Black or at least Bella Swan, but have you heard the story of Jacob's twin sister, Jade? I didn't think so. To get started the story of Jacob was embellished. After Jacob and his sister phased, their father didn't think it safe for them to stay and fight against those horrible blood-sucking monsters. So they left. Easy as that they picked up their worldly possessions and left. They went to Detroit, Michigan a place no one thought to look for them. Jake and Jade phased every once in a while to make sure they kept their "powers" but other than that they were normal 16 year old kids. We start the story when they arrive in Detroit. Sit back relax and enjoy the story.
"Here we are, home sweet home." Billy exclaimed, His teenage brood following him up to the stairs, each loaded down with boxes. Billy wheeled his wheelchair to the side while the kids brought the boxes into their designated rooms. When that was done Jake picked up his dad and Jade picked up the wheelchair. They set him down in the living room of the house. It was a split-level so that made things difficult. Billy set to work unpacking boxes in the living room while Jake and Jade set up their individual rooms. Once finished they returned to the living room to find their father.
"Remind me why we had to move again because I can't seem to recall that particular detail. All I know is that I miss my friends." Jake whined.
"Oh quit your whining princess. Think of it this way, now we can make new friends and not have to talk about phasing at all. That's an added bonus in itself. Plus your friends were eating all of MY food."
"It's not our fault we have fast metabolisms and have to eat all the time because of this stupid freaking legend. I look at it this way, now we have a like nuclear secret to keep and can't tell anyone."
"First of all your right it isn't your fault and second of all think about this, now we can walk around and not have people stare at us because we're in Sam's "gang" or as you affectionately termed it "hall monitors on steroids"."
"I guess you're right and I should just embrace it as a fresh start. Now I'm going to work on building some ramps for all of these stairs. Care to help me?"
"Nope, I have better things to do like figure out how to decorate my room and bathroom." After a while I decide to paint the walls a bright aqua color and paint my furniture yellow. I like colorful things so there would be a lot more color. "Dad I'm going to go paint shopping, can I have some cash?" I asked bounding down the stairs.
"Sure, here's $100. That will be enough."
"I don't know if it will."
"It wasn't a question, now go get your paint." he said with a chuckle. I laughed and took the keys to Jake's car, the rabbit.
"Hey don't take my car!" Jake screamed.
"Too late!" I exclaimed running out the door. I was only more excited to get to the paint store and find that they were having a sale. Oh yeah I rock. I got aqua, yellow, fuchsia, and lime green paint. I was also able to get some paint remover to take the stain off of my furniture, sand paper to smooth everything out, and some brand new shelves to paint. We had a bunch of stuff from when Jake baby's his car, so I didn't have to buy anything else. When I pulled in the driveway I noticed that dad's car was gone so I assumed that meant that Jake needed to go get something for the ramps. "Just great!" I exclaimed knowing I would have to everything in myself.
"Hey there! You must be the new neighbor." exclaimed a middle aged woman from next door. "Hi, I'm Jill Taylor." she said, extending her hand.
"Jade Black and I'm just one of the three new neighbors. Nice to meet you." I said shaking her hand.
"Do you need some help with those bags?" She asked.
"Umm yeah actually I do, if it's not too much trouble."
"Oh its not trouble at all." she said grabbing a few of the bags. I grabbed the rest and my house key and opened the door.
"Dad, I'm home and I brought the neighbor." I called.
"I'm in the living room." called my dad. I set my packages down and took the bags Jill was carrying. I led her down to the living room where my dad was watching football. He turned from the tv to meet Jill.
"Dad, this is Jill Taylor, Jill this is my dad, Billy Black."
"Nice to meet you Jill. Thanks for helping my daughter with her packages."
"It was no problem Billy. It's nice meeting you too." We all talked a while and then Jill had to leave but invited us to dinner the following Friday.
"I like her." Dad said.
"Me too, Dad ,me too." I said and then ran up to my room to move all of the furniture and get ready to paint the next day. Jake came home after a while with some wood for the ramps. We ordered pizza and sat around the rest of the night. "Hey Jake is there any chance I can convince you to help me paint my room tomorrow." I said with a smile.
"I'll do it but only because of the endless amount of blackmail-able information you have on me." I giggled and began to clean up. "You're going to bed?"
"Yes and you should too because tomorrow…. We paint at dawn. Mwahhahaha." I said dramatically and ran up the stairs. Tomorrow was going to be a great day.
Hey internet dudes and dudettes, I'm back with a new story. Yes the other's will be continued but I just couldn't wait on this. Enjoy!
