Argent's POV
The wind was cool as I ran through the forest, but I guess that's normal for Washington. It would take some getting used to as well as the sun, or lack thereof.
I paused to take a drink out of a clear stream as I reflected on what brought me here. Not even a week ago my mother had been dying of cancer in the hospital when she told me I had an aunt in the area I was headed to, this little reservation in a place called La Push. I was warned that I might not be accepted with open arms since she basically escaped from that place as a kid, but I was expecting that. Besides, I wanted answers.
I stared at the face looking back at me in the smooth water. Canine head, face, and body giving me the appearance of a wild wolf the size of a VW Bug... or a small van. Thick fur with auburn, and black streaks rustles as I shake myself off. For a few years now I've been like this, able to become an animal whenever I want to, or I let my anger get the best of me. I'd looked all over for legends, and folk-lore that might have something to do with my family, trying to find an answer in magic where I knew science would be useless.
Hopefully my aunt Sue will have some kind of explanation...
Eventually I turned away from the water, and continued bounding through the forest. I could smell it once I was getting closer to civilized areas. I was lucky enough to come across a hiking trail with nobody around. I pulled the heat that made me a wolf back into the core of my being, and assumed my human form. I rooted through the backpack I had been carrying in my teeth since Montana for my clothes. A pair of blue jeans with a simple black Tee, and boots. Once I was dressed I shouldered the pack, and set off down the trail towards what smelled like a settlement. I came across a parking lot, and just kept walking. Following a road I came to a sign that read
"Welcome to Forks." I checked the map in my backpack, and nodded to myself. Forks was close enough to La Push.
A drop of water hitting the paper drew my attention upwards. Great, like I needed rain. Just one more thing to get used to. I quickly stuffed the map back in my bag, and started running again. I had to pace myself so I wouldn't stand out. I paid a hotel room for the night, tossing my stuff into a corner.
Thank goodness my mom had willed all her money to me. It was only a couple thousand, but I knew how to manage money. Maybe after I got the answers I was looking for I could settle down in the area. Somehow living on the reservation didn't really appeal.
Mom had told me she had been shunned as an outcast after she left, and I didn't think I'd be getting any better treatment. I could only hope. No matter how far I ran, or what happened I always had Hope.
With a sigh I called the front desk for a 7 AM Wakeup Call, and turned out the lamp to be ready for the next day.
Katarina's POV
I awoke on the plane as we were descending. I was moving in with my aunt Charlotte in Forks, Washington. My parents were murdered in a homicide a two months back and I wasn't exactly passed grief yet. I cried myself to sleep every night wishing they were here so I could say good night or good morning to them in the joyful way that I used to. Aunt Charlotte had a husband named Henry and two children, Lillian was two years you ger than me and their son Dayne was a year older than me.
I was used to being an only child, so I was kind of scared of that meeting. After my folks died I showed my emotions through my music all genres except rap, and honestly my music was a better therapist then I have ever had.
I was quick to get off the planes before anyone else and grabbed my large suitcase, guitar, guitar case, and my bags of necessities such as toiletries, hair care, and my makeup.
I liked the weather here it was cooler and a lot more my style. I hoped I could make a new start here and at the school entitled "Forks High School."
I stood there looking around the airport searching for my aunt. I hadn't seen her in twelve years so I didn't remember much about her or her husband so I gave up using my eyes for guidance and texted her, telling my aunt I was by the Starbucks.
Not even a minute later I felt a small, dainty hand on my shoulder after i grab my coffee and turn around to see my aunt. She was roughly five foot seven and had long, beautiful blonde hair, my hair came down to the back of my knees and was raven black. My skin as a very, very, very light tan to it unlike my aunt whose skin was a white as the snow, "Oh my! Katarina! Oh you are so beautiful, my brother made one cute daughter." all I could do was blush as we walked out of the airport, waiting anxiously to meet my new family.
Aunt Charlotte took her slow time riding threw the town on our way to the house, she wanted to make conversation. "So Katarina, how have you been honey? What do you like to do in your free time? I would like to find out as much about you as I can." I smiled as her persistance on wanting to know me. Not very many people do.
"I have been ok Aunt Charlotte, its hard, but I make it threw ok. I love to play my guitar and sing, it's very helpful. I love to drive around in my car,I will miss my old Chevy cavalier."
"honey, I had it shipped up here you never had to leave the car., oh honey all of us do this at home, please make a list of your favorite foods, so that way we can try to have them in the house and we alway write our names on the food. I just thought I should let you know."
"thanks, I am scared to meet the rest." I admitted.
"oh don't be," and right she was, they all loved me so much, and even asked me to perform a song for them, i liked where I was. My aunt had enrolled me into school and took me clothes shopping and supply shopping. I didn't care for shopping much, but I need to as the moment. And here at the Seattle mall is where I met a sweet girl named Bella who was just like me about shopping with a crazy shopaholic. We talked until we had to go our separate ways, and unfortunately tomorrow, school was to begin for me.
I walked around the house and loved every bit of it, it was a comforting environment and the weather here was perfect. I was kind of bored though. I needed to go outside and do things, walk, run, jog, hike, something. I put on my sweater and my silver shiny high top converse shoes only to see it was raining. Oh well, I loved rain.
I walked out the door and began to tread threw the forest by the creek that was right behind the new house, well... not exactly new, but new to me. The tree leaves were glistening beautifully, and there was a beautiful smell emanating from the forest, the smell reminded me of fresh cherry wood, cinnamon, and fresh ocean sand. It was a glorious smell, I smiled and continued walking threw the forest and taking in the beautiful scenery and the pleasant aromas.
As I walked memories of home flooded my brain slowly. Memories of my family me, my mother, father, and my... my little brother. He had received Leukemia when he was five and passed away two years later, I remembered how we would play and laugh, and how I would see the smiled on my parents faces when we got along. I also remembered the night my parents were taken away from me, right before my very eyes, I was glad I was alive though, I will tell you that much.
I finally realized it was time to go back to the house, the sun slowly descended and the colored were as beautiful as a fresh rose. I entered right at dinner time and the food was great.
As soon as I got upstairs I started on my list for my favorite foods, shells and cheese, cheese its, waffles, white chocolate, honey graham crackers, orange juice, cranberry juice, Luna Bars, etc. I peaked at the clock as saw it was ten at night and figured I might as well shower and get ready for bed. I grabbed my loose, tattered sweatpants and a black tank top along with a sports bra and made a run for the shower.
The warm water relaxed my muscles and helped me become sleepy, so I quickly finished my shower and brushed my teeth, heading to my bed, and laying down in the nice and smooth covers, setting my alarm for 5 AM so I could pack my backpack and get to eat, and get what ever else I need for school.
Slowly my eye lids drifted to a close and I smiled as I began to dream, dreaming of the happy times with my family.
