Chapter 1.
A/N: This story takes place twelve years after the last chapter of through the rain. It's mainly about Cassie and Embry's eldest daughter Paige. You don't have to read Through the Rain to understand it, but I suggest you do. I hope you guys like it.
"Faylen come on, we've gotta get home before mom and dad." My twin brother was pulling on my arm trying to get me to leave the beach party. I didn't want to though I was having to much fun partying with the other rez kids.
"Go on home Austin," Brandon Uley said, "I'll make sure she get's there."
"Okay, but if you get busted this time Fay, don't expect me to save your ass." Austin walked away and I stumbled to the edge of the fire. Half us on the beach were drunk, the other half were here to baby-sit us and make sure we got home, Austin and Branden were that half. I was the other half, the half that got wasted and danced around the fire until dawn, the half that had fun.
"Faylen, come one dance with us." Raven Lahote, Paul's daughter called over to me. I skipped up to her and the other girls and we started dancing around the flames. It was fun, laughing and dancing with them, until I feel and my arm went in the fire. Raven pulled me back and called Branden over, he picked me and ran to his truck.
"Someone go get Cassie and Embry, tell them to meet us at the hospital." he said as he shut the door and drove off.
"Damn it this hurts." I yelled and Branden had the nerve to laugh. "What the hell are you laughing at?"
"You should have left when Austin told you." he chuckled, before reaching down to get something out of the floor. "Here wrap that up." he tossed a shirt at me and I wrapped it around my arm. It was stinging and I wanted to cry, but I wasn't going to.
"Mom is going to be so pissed." I whined, "Oh and if she tells gramps I'm dead." I could hear his "this is why teenagers shouldn't drink" speech now.
"Oh Faylen you've screwed up this time." Branden said.
"Shut up." I smacked him with my good arm. When we got to the hospital mom and dad pulled in right behind us, and gramps was behind them. This is just great.
"Faylen Michelle Call, I'm going to kill." Mom said coming up and hugging me. "How many times have we had this talk." she pushed me through the hospital doors. "Go sit down with your father while I get someone to look at you." I walked with dad and gramps to the waiting area and sat down.
"Faylen what are we going to do with you?" dad asked. "I should have known when we came home and Austin said you were in bed something was up."
"I would have thought you'd have seen through that story by now dad." I told him.
"I'd rather see the best in my baby girl then the worst." he hugged me quickly until mom walked over and glared at us.
"We're having a talk when we get home, that is after you call you Aunt Bella and tell her your okay." she said.
"Why'd you tell Aunt Bella?" I asked.
"Because I was on the phone with her when Quil came bursting through the front door." she almost yelled.
"Faylen Call." a nurse called my name, mom and I followed her back to the room. She took my vitals and examined the burn before telling us the doctor would see us in a minute and leaving the room. I started wondering who my doctor would be, probably Aunt Leah, she was on call tonight and ninety percent of the time she was the one I got.
"Faylen, why do I see you more at work then at home." I was right. "What the hell did you do this time."
"I'm not sure you should talk to you patients like that." I tried to hide the fact that I'd been drinking but my words slurring gave it away.
"And you've been drinking, how lovely. Let me look at your arm." she held my arm out looking at. I was starting to blister and swell and wasn't at all pretty. She carefully cleaned it off before wrapping it in gauze. "Keep it wrapped and keep it cleaned or it could get infected." she said. "Now go home and sleep." I hugged aunt Leah and we headed home. Austin was waiting up for us, a shit eating grin plastered on his face when I walked through the front door.
"I told you to go home." he said.
"Austin, go to bed." Dad said, and Austin went upstairs to his room.
"Well Aunt Leah said I should go to bed so I'll see you in the morning." I turned for the stairs but was caught by mom.
"Call your aunt Bella then come to the living room so we can talk." she handed me the phone and then she left the room with dad. I dialed aunt Bella's number, hoping she wouldn't pick up but knowing she would.
"Hello Cassie, is Fay alright?" she asked in a worried voice.
"It's me aunt Bella, and I'm fine, just a burn on my arm." I told her.
"You had us so worried," she said, "I'm glad your okay, please be more careful."
"I will Aunt Bella." we said our goodbyes then I went to join my parents in the other room.
"Sit down, Faylen." Dad said in his 'I'm extremely upset right now and it's not gonna be good' voice. I sat down across from them and looked down at my arm. "I'm so disappointed in you Faylen, you could do so much better then what your doing."
"This isn't just about tonight, or any of the other night's you've done stuff like this. You failing almost all your classes at school, and we're out of schools to send Faylen. You didn't like the rez school so we sent you to Forks High, and your not doing any better."
"So what are you going to do?" I asked.
"You're going to Oregon to live with Bella." my mouth dropped.
"What!" 'I yelled, "Your shipping me off, all because of this."
"Fay we don't know what to do with you anymore." Dad told me, "We set boundaries and you walk all over them. I can't have you running around here, worrying every time you leave the house."
"You may not think so right now but this is for your own good." mom said. "Now go get some sleep, your plane leaves tomorrow afternoon." I stomped up the stairs to my room, angry and hurt. I lay down on my bed and waited to fall asleep.
"Wake up Faylen, you've got to be ready to go in an hour." Mom was standing in my doorway.
"An hour mom, I'm not packed or anything." I whined.
"You don't need anything, Alice is going to have everything you need." she said, "Now go shower, and get ready to go." She left the room and I climber out of bed and went into my bathroom, I showered quickly before wrapping myself in a towel and going to my room. I dug around in my closet till I found some skinny jeans and a Forks high football hoodie I stole from Austin. I dressed in that and pulled on my black and white converse, before grabbing my bag and heading downstairs. My hair was still damp and hung down in my eyes, it would be frizzy and tangled by the end of the plane ride but I really didn't care.
"Ready to go?" mom asked, I shrugged and headed for the door. Mom, dad, and Austin followed behind, I'm glad we're making me getting shipped off a family affair. The car ride was silent no one sure of what to say. When we pulled up mom and dad went to pick up my ticket while Austin and waited by the loading area.
"I'm gonna miss ya Fay." he said.
"Sure ya will, how ever will you survive with out me dragging you to parties." I laughed.
"What can I say you make my life interesting sis." he smiled and gave me a hug. Mom and dad came back over to us, mom was holding my ticket in her hand.
"Be good baby girl," dad hugged me, "Listen to aunt Bella and don't let Jake get you in to any trouble." He stepped back and walked over to the window with Austin.
"I'm really going to miss you Faylen." mom said, I looked past her. "I know your angry but this is what's best for you right now. I promise, it won't be very long." She hugged me and kissed the top of my head. They called my flight, I grabbed my bag and left me family behind me.
The flight to Portland was a little over an hour long, not even long enough for an in flight movie. I sat in my seat and stared out the window, wondering what things in my new town would be like. No more parties or drinking, this was going to be hell. I sat back in my seat and closed my eyes, comfortable until someone started kicking my seat. My arm jolted and started stinging, I looked behind me to see little boy with a grin on his face. I wanted to turn around and smack it off him. My arm burned and stung the rest of the ride to Portland, and the landing didn't help much. When the plane came to a stop I slung my bag over my shoulder and headed out. I walked around the lobby looking for anyone who looked familiar and finding no one, until I saw uncle Jake. He looked so out of place amongst the mostly pale skinned people of Portland, Nessie standing close beside him. I walked over to them, Nessie smiled and run to meet me, wrapping me in a hug. I hugged her back and laughed.
"Can I just say I've missed you so much." she said. "Like I've been stuck with old people and Jake for the last four years." I laughed at my cousin.
"I'm sure Jake's not that bad."
"I'm not." he said taking my bag, "Now can we move this party to the car?"
"Some one's in a mood today." I smiled at him, "Wake up on the wrong side of the doghouse."
"I'd forgotten how much of smartass you are you Faylen, well you are Cassie's daughter I shouldn't be surprised." he smirked. We walked out to the car which was sitting in front of the airport, with someone else in the driver's seat. I figured it was Uncle Edward or maybe Jasper. Nessie and Jake slid in the backseat and I sat up front.
"Finally another human in the house." a boys voice said. I looked in the drivers seat and was almost certain, this was no vampire of werewolf, this guy was a humane.
