Erika P.O.V.
I ran down the stairs toward the front door, where the doorbell continued to ring.
"I'm coming!!!" I yelled, yanking on the handle as hard as I could. It flew open to reveal the two faces I hadn't seen in a good year and a half.
"SETH! GET DOWN HERE NOW!!!" I yelled as I ran to hug Kayla. "It's been soooooo long!!! I've missed you so much!!"
"Me too!!" She said, excitedly.
"Good to see you too, Phillip. You've been taking care of my best friend I trust." I said, smiling slightly
"Always." He smiled, hugging me too.
By then Seth had come up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Uh-hum. That's MY girlfriend." He said in the most intimidating tone he could make.
"Yes sir." Phillip said in a mock-official tone, setting me down. They both started cracking up.
"Quit it Seth. Come on you two, come inside." I ushered them into Seth's, and now my house. I had moved into the spare room, with his mother's approval of course. He also had the furthest room from mine.
"So, how long are you guys here for?" I asked after we had gotten them settled, Phillip in the other guest room, Kayla in mine.
"Just a few weeks, we need to get back to Pennsylvania soon, because the Denali's are coming for a visit." Phillip had moved in with the Cullens so he could be closer to Kayla.
"I wish we could stay longer, but we absolutely HAVE to be there to meet them. We want to find out what power I will have from Eleazar." Kayla said, from her spot next to Phillip on the extremely small couch. She seemed very excited to know.
"I completely understand. I MUST know as soon as you find out! Okay? You can't leave your best friend hanging here!" I squealed.
"Of course, you're on the very top of my list." She said smiling.
We chatted aimlessly until I got a brilliant idea.
"So..... Who's up for a movie?!?!?!!" I practically squealed. Kayla and I had had SO much fun staying up late and watching movies when we were roommates, who said we couldn't do the same now?!
"Okay!" She jumped up with so much enthusiasm I thought she just might actually start bouncing off the walls.
"YES! Tonight is going to be soooooo much fun!!!" She said still bouncing up and down.
I went and got four bags of popcorn going, grabbed some blankets and set up the movie.
Once we were all settled, I pressed play and snuggled next to Seth. I heard mumbling coming from the other side of the couch, and, wanting to hear what Kayla and Phillip were saying, I listened in.
"So…. Are you enjoying the movie?" Phillip asked discreetly.
"Yes. You?" Kayla asked in return
"No." He replied shortly
"NO?! This is one of THE best movies ever! How could you NOT like it?!" She whisper-yelled at him.
"I'm not watching the movie, I'm watching you." He whispered in her ear.
"Oh, well. That's perfectly okay." She smiled kissing his jaw.
He leaned in kissing her nose, then her lips.
I turned away giving them some privacy. Except, Seth had plans of his own, kissing my neck. It tickled and I started laughing uncontrollably.
By the time the movie was over none of us were even watching the end.
Phillip was the first to get all of our attention.
"So… Seth, are you ready to give them their presents?"
"Of course!" He replied
They both got up leaving just Kayla and I on the couch.
"So… what do you think they got us?" She said, sliding over to my side of the couch.
"I don't know…" Just then they came down the stairs, each carrying a small box.
They handed us each one and let us open them.
Mine opened to reveal a wooden heart pendent etched with a wolf. I hugged Seth, thanking him profusely. Looking over, I saw that Kayla had an identical pendant, except hers had a small crystal with her sixteenth birthday engraved around it. We both put them on, before going to my room to get ready for bed.
"Ummm… Kayla, what are you wearing?" I asked after she walked in wearing sparkly pink pyjamas.
"They're from Alice. She got you some too." She left then came back holding an identical pair in sky-blue.
"Oh, wow…" I slipped them on. For being so sparkly they were surprisingly soft.
Forty minutes later we were asleep, after talking about everything that had happened since we had last actually seen each other. Apparently they were going to move to Forks soon… I couldn't wait for her to be that close! It also meant that Edward would meet Bella a year after they got here… I wonder how that will go…Even though Kayla and I both know what will happen…
The next morning, we were all gathered in the kitchen while I searched the cabinets for something edible. I found some frozen cinnamon rolls and popped them in the oven to bake. Once we were done eating, Kayla asked if we could go to Port Angeles to do some shopping. Once we got there Kayla and I headed toward the department store, while the boys went toward the arcade. Sometimes you just have to wonder if they EVER completely mature.
We walked out of the store carrying about seventy bags, mostly filled with Kayla's new shoes and dresses, while I only had one nice dress that Kayla had forced me to let her buy. We rounded the corner to the arcade when two figures approached us from behind. I suddenly had a flash of that scene from Twilight, but, before it could finish playing out in my mind, a rough voice broke my concentration.
"Hey girlies. What'cha doin' out so late?" The taller of the two said, reaching for Kayla's arm.
She screamed loudly and took off running, I followed quickly. The second man was quick; he caught up to me and pushed me up against the wall.
He slapped my face to the left. "That's for running away." He snarled.
As my head snapped I saw a glimpse of Phillip and Seth quickly taking down the guy that was after Kayla then racing toward me. Phillip was faster than Seth, but still not quite fast enough. Just when I had noticed them, my attacker had seen them too. He pulled out a knife and swiftly jabbed me hard in the stomach.
Just before my eyes went black, I saw Phillip kick him from behind, breaking his back in half.
Kayla P.O.V.
When he grabbed my arm, I ran as fast as I could, praying vigorously that Erika would follow. When I looked back, she was running, but not fast enough. The smaller man was gaining on her. Two loud snarls echoed around the alley as two bright streaks flew past me. Phillip and Seth! Thank goodness!! They had the first man down in seconds, but just as they were about to get to Erika, She collapsed suddenly. Almost as if he- he- had stabbed her. PLEASE NO!!!!
Phillip kicked the man in the back, killing him swiftly. He picked up Erika's body and ran to meet Seth halfway.
I started running too. I missed their exchange, before Phillip took off into the forest, leaving me with Seth. He ran to me, picked me up then took off in the opposite direction Phillip had gone.
He stopped by a pay-phone, putting in a few coins then dialling a number I recognized. Carlisle.
Hello?
"Carlisle, its Seth. It's Erika, she was stabbed. Phillip is on his way to your house. He'll be there in about 5 more seconds. I'll get there with Kayla in a few minutes."
Okay. They're here, I have to go now!
Seth hung up the phone, picked me up and then sprinted into the woods. He set me down, went to change then came back quickly. I jumped on his back and he took off running.
Five minutes later, he dropped me off on the Cullen's doorstep. (AN: It's the white house they lived in in Twilight, Carlisle was getting it ready for them to move in.)
De-fazing as quickly as he could in the woods, he ran back just as I was stepping inside.
The entire front room had been set-up to look like a hospital. I guess Carlisle had some how set this up in the last ten minutes.....
Erika was lying in the middle of the bed, connected to all sorts of wires.
Seth got to her side before I did. I just couldn't get over the fact that she had been stabbed! Erika was always the last person to ever get hurt... let alone attacked.
I walked over to the other side of her bed, taking her hand.
A sharp snap echoed behind me. I turned just in time to see a rock fly through the window just before a white streak pushed me to the floor and out of the way of the mysterious projectile.
AN: So... what did you think of the first chapter? I know, Cliffy... You'll get over it... I'll try to update soon, but reviews make me go faster (wink wink)
A big massive thank you to Cullen1994 for Beta-ing this story too!! You Rock!!!!!
