She Wolf Sisters
** Please note, I don't own any of these Twilight characters only my own :), and please let me know how I've done this is my first fanfic!
Tiana's POV
It had been a shock to my family and the tribe that my little sister was getting married. She had only just left to go see the wonders of the world a year ago because she wanted to 'find' herself, but yet she happen to find the 'love of her life' in a small town called Forks in the middle of bloody nowhere. She was supposed to be learning about the tribal arts and historical stories of the American Indians, and comparing their legends to our legends, since we were the natives of Aoteroa or New Zealand (the name the white people gave our lands after they took over in the early 1800s).
Aroha was only 21 for gods sake, why did she have to settle down now? We were supposed to enjoy life, travel together, watch each other fall in love, watch our kids (not that I have any now but someday) grow up together and now she's decided she wants to move to fucking hicks town and pop out babies to a stranger? Aghh I was so angry at this whole situation. I nearly wanted to scream down the phone at her when she asked me to go over there and help her plan the wedding. I nearly begged her to try and drag Romeo over here for the wedding, and then I was going to start putting my plans into action.
Plan A: Convince her she was making a mistake, she was only 21 she had her life to live, Plan B: talk her out of this big idea that she was going to move half way across the world away from her family and force her to stay here with her so called lover boy, Plan C: ignore plan A and B and just tell her that I love her and I will support any decision she made. AGHH I roll my eyes, who was I joking I know I would be giving into her and plan A and B would only be a whisper in my mind.
She was my little sister and my best friend; of course I would support her. It didn't mean I had to like it, or the dickhead that stole her. Ok I might sound like I'm the worst sister in the world. But we all know that my rage was nothing compared to my twin brother Antony, which I may add is on the phone now asking to talk to me...aghh I was soo not in the mood to have to calm him down when I was raging inside. "Tiana, what is Aroha thinking? She seriously can't think she can get married without us having a say? Just because I'm off at uni doesn't mean I don't have an opinion about this, she's only 21 for Christ sake!" I was agreeing with everything he had to say but at the back of my mind all I could think of was what Aroha had said to me just an hour ago.
"Please please please Tiana don't get mad" I could just imagine her sitting on a porch pleading with me to understand. She would probably have been sitting there with a coffee in her hand thinking it would give her the boost she would need to converse with me, knowing I would be throwing words at her a 100 miles a minute. I heard the desperation in her voice, above everyone I knew I was the one she wanted to make understand. Our parents moved us to the city and had always been off working, making something of themselves, just so that they could eventually drag as back to the family land with enough financial security that they didn't need to stress about working and they could just live off the land. Ever since then I practically raised Aroha.
She was my little shadow growing up, my clone. Aroha and I (along with pretty much all our female cousins) had the same traits that ran through our family. We were desendants from the Ngati Tu WhareToa tribe that had very noticeable and distinctive looks. You see the Maori all had naturally dark skin, and native looks. Whereas the Ngati TuWhareToa tribe was known to have golden skin with golden to blond hair or as we call ourselves Waka blondes. They say the golden hair is a trait that presented itself when the Lake goddess became cold and decided to take a dip into one of the local natural springs that spouted hot water, she lay in this spring so long that it bleached her hair golden and since then she was call the Waka blond lake goddess. These legends amongst many others were told to us by our Koro (who was my mother's father) and he explained that's why we had our light hair. Aroha had always kept her hair short just above her shoulders with a blunt fringe, but she still had the beautiful golden tones throughout it. My hair however had always been long and naturally wavy, I would never say that It was beautiful it still had the same golden tones that Aroha's had but I never thought it was as lovely, don't get me wrong my hair was nice because It was healthy and strong and I had put it through hell throughout my teenage years which is the side affect of being a tom boy I suppose.
My sister and I where the only ones in our family to have extremely light green eyes, the remaining of our family had either brown or dark green eyes, so that's why we stood out. We both had been extremely athletic growing up, representing our regions in swimming, volleyball and basketball, being 5'11 helped me, but Aroha being only 5'9 she was always looking up to me. She was the slimmer of the two of us, but I wouldn't say I was fat or skinny, just athletic looking, I had the curves all women do but I just never wore clothes that would cling to those curves, preferring to wear shorts and tank tops around. Aroha was 2 years younger than me but had always seemed to be the most empathetic and understanding one, that's why I was struggling with her decision to marry someone she had only known for 6 months. "Tiana, please just listen ok, Embry is so sweet, he loves me with all his heart, and I love him, I know its sudden and out of the blue but it just feels right, I feel like he's my sun and I've been living in darkness all my life until I met him" I sit there listening quietly trying to comprehend what she's saying. "Sounds like he's brainwashed you Arhoa, that's not healthy, this is not healthy, come home and bring Embry with you and we can talk to you both about this" I say in my most dominant voice I can muster. I hear a growl escaping from her chest "Tiana, I am NOT a child, and you are NOT my Alpha right now, you are my SISTER and I need you to understand how important this is".
I gasp hearing her refer to me as her Alpha again; we hadn't phased in at least 5 years and had forgot about me being the alpha to her and the others. I clear my mind and have a smart arse response waiting, "Does he know Aroha? Does he know you used to howl at the moon over the lake?" I say in a condescending tone. She whispers quietly "No he doesn't Tiana, that's why I need you here, I need you to help me with how I'm supposed to explain to him that I'm a freak of nature and hope he doesn't run for the hills" I sigh hearing the sadness in her voice. I knew she would play the bloody sad me card but for some reason I can hear from the tone of it that its real sadness not fake feel sorry for me sadness. "Ok Aroha, I'll come, when did you want me to be there?"
She squeals and I hear her jumping up and down with excitement, "really Tee? Really really your gonna come?" "yes you lil egg head I'll be there, I wanna meet this SUN of yours and makes sure he's worthy of being your husband" I say smiling slightly. We talk for a few more minutes discussing that it would be best to leave next week and I would stay there for a month or so before the wedding. I can tell she's happy, she's gushing about how beautiful her new home La Push is and how much it reminds her of home and how she can't wait for me to meet her new family to be and everyone. She's trying to convince me that ill especially like it cause Embry has heaps of really hot friends, I know she can hear my scowl at the thought of it. I laugh at her as she sighs with happiness. "Can't wait to see you Tee" she says with excitement. "Can't wait too Aroha, see you in a week, I'll call you and confirm what time my flights arrive so you can come get me ok, love you sissy" I say to her. "Love you to Tee" she says. "Oh and by the way Tee, your my maid of honour ok so get ready to be my wedding slave!" buhahahaha "Whatever egg head ill talk to you later ok" "ok bye!" I smile to myself as I laugh at how excited she is, it reminds me of how she gets when it's Christmas, she's always the first one to squeal and get excited.
"Tiana, do you hear me?" I hear Antony screaming down the phone at me.
Agghh "Yes Ant, how can I not hear you your screaming at me aren't you" I growl down the phone. "Did she talk to you about what she was supposed to be there for? has she found out anything else about any other shape shifters like us?" I can hear the frustration in his demand. "Ant, NO she didn't talk about that, she's over there getting ready for her wedding she didn't talk to me about some secret mission that the elders had sent her on". I hear him swear as he takes a puff on a cigarette. "Ant, I thought you gave up that fithy habit?" I say in an angry tone. "Shut the hell up Tiana, you're not my mother"
I feel the anger in me rising "No Ant you shut up, you are such a controlling self serving ass do you know that?, our little sister is planning the most important day of her life and all you can think about is if she has any information on shape shifters? Don't you care about her happiness? Or are you so self obsessed that all you can think about is you and your dirty little hairy secret? Well guess what wolf boy, we all have that secret and we are all dealing with it on a day to day basis but we don't knock others times of happiness because we are desperate to find answers, answers will come, everything happens for a reason, be patient and we will find information when the information wants to be revealed" I say in angry but stern voice. I know he hears my Alpha tone down the line and I hear him shiver slightly.
"I do want Aroha to be happy" he says quietly. "We all do" I reply quickly. "Look ill talk to her about it when I get there next week ok, and in the mean time stop smoking it's disgusting and it can't be helping you getting the girls lil brother" I laugh quickly. "haha if only you knew big sister - of a whole 2 mins " he says with a cheeky tone in his voice. "aghh forget I said anything alright, and don't under estimate the importance of 2 mins" I say laughing, "I'll talk to you later ok" and I hang up. So now that I've dealt with my brother and sister I have to talk to the elders, visit my pack sisters especially Ava my beta, come up with a plan of action in case something happens while I'm away (not that any action had happened in years), pack my bags, plan for my departure and then get on a plan for 22 hours.
Forks "here I come, she wolf is going on a road trip" I whisper laughing to myself.
