Title: Camp Fire

Chapter 1 (Bella's P.O.V)

Okay now all I need is my bag and I can go meet up with Jake and his Pack. Where did I put my bag down last??

'Bells, do you need to go out again tonight?' Charlie's voice cut through my mind rampage of 'where's my missing bag', 'I mean I thought we could spend tonight together— you know just you and me.'

Great, Charlie thinks we need more 'quality time'. 'No thanks Charlie, tempting and all but somehow a night of take out and baseball on the flat-screen isn't my ideal night.' I reply in the most sarcastic voice I can manage without sounding as revolted by the idea as I felt.

He's about to reply when a knock at the door interrupts—it's Jake. My savour. 'Hey Bells, you ready?' he says. 'Hey Charlie' He adds noticing Charlie standing there.

'Jacob' Charlie says flatly.

'I'll just be a minute' I say before Charlie can start a lecture about No Alcohol, Drugs, violence…or Fun etc, etc.

I ran quickly up the stairs, stumbled a little, rummaged through some clothes on the floor and—yep sure enough there's my bag. Then I ran back down grabbed Jake by the arm and yelled a quick and half hearted 'bye' to Charlie.

Once we were in the car I sighed in relief. 'Ugh' I groaned.

Jake noticed the groan and almost immediately picked up on it 'What now? Charlie?'

'You guessed it' I reply dryly

'Cheer up Bells your with me now' He smiled.

*Sigh* totally adorable, is he doing that on purpose?

I smiled back, though Jakes probably the only guy who that doesn't effect.

'So where are we going?' I ask, remembering he hadn't told me on the phone.

He smiled again, this time mischievously.

'You'll see' was all he said.

'Jake c'mon you know I hate surprises' I also hate it when he plays with me like this.

'Well it's not a surprise it's just a secret' his face was smug.

'I hate those two' I mumble under my breath.

He chuckled lightly and then the car was silent for the rest of the ride.

When we got there—wherever that was—I smiled despite my annoyance toward Jake.

I turned to Jake 'A camp fire?' I say still smiling.

'See secrets aren't that bad if I get to see you smile like this when you figure it out' he said returning my smile. There was warmth in his eyes as he took my hand and we walked toward the camp fire.

As we walked I took in my surroundings in full. We were at the beach—at La Push I noticed with some surprise—I'm shocked I hadn't figured out we were coming here from the directions Jake took considering I'm here almost everyday. I could only see a slight glow coming from the camp fire down on the beach and as we walked more became visible. The camp fire was bigger then what I assumed it would be back at the car. There was a big circle of people surrounding it talking and laughing.

'Are there going to be marshmallows?' I ask Jake.

'Well of course, what kind of question is that, what's a camp fire without those?' he said back with a wolfy chuckle.

I giggled.

We join the circle of people and I recognise most from Jakes pack. I see Paul glaring at me from across the circle, he's never liked me because he thinks it's a bad idea I know about the pack and all. He even got too angry and almost attacked me when we first met. I'll avoid him for the rest of the night.

We sit down next to Quil and Embry.

'I have someone I want you to meet later' Jacob whispers in my ear.

Last time I met anyone he knew it was one of his wolf friends' who was new to the pack, this must be someone new or something because I can't imagine who else he might want me to meet.

'Hey Bella' it was Quil. As friendly as always

'Hey' I replied with a smile, 'not grounded anymore I see'.

He chuckled nervously 'Ah nope'

Last time I was out with Jake and some of his pack we were at a party and it was really late when the police turned up and took us all home in it. Even worse it was one of Charlie's work buddies. Quil was grounded for almost a month and though Charlie is head of police I got no punishment from him because he knows I would still disobey and there's nothing he can do.

'No he's still grounded,' Embry said smiling 'he just snuck out'.

I giggled at him. 'What a rebel!' I say sarcastically, still giggling.

Quil smiled even more nervously, he's always been like that. He's had a slight crush on me since Jake introduced us.

'Hey Bells I think I found those marshmallows you wanted' Jake said with a huge wolf like grin while jerking his head towards Sam walking over with a huge bag of marshmallows, Emily by his side.

'Hey guys, Bella' Sam greeted when he reached us.

Everyone said their 'hays' and 'hello's' and we got stuck into the marshmallows.

All the wolf guys kept burning their marshmallows to charcoal because they sat holding the stick in for too long. My theory is they don't notice when it gets too hot because their body temperatures are already through the roof.

I was in hysterics by the time they got to their 25th marshmallow—all burnt to a crisp—without a single one being successful.

'Like you can do any better Bella' Embry said sounding offended and defensive.

I only laughed more.

'Actually,' I tell him between breaths of laughter 'I am the master at marshmallow-ing'

'Well,' Jake says looking very devious 'how could you possibly be 'a master marshmallower' if you're swimming in a big ocean of water?' He was grinning widely.

It took me a while to catch on and by the time I look around the circle in confusing at the broad smiles on the others, it was too late.

'But I'm not—oh no, you don't!' And with that I was scooped up by about five werewolves as they dragged me to the water with me kicking and screaming.

When they were knee deep in water they dunked me under and the ice coldness of it knocked all the air out of me in a big rush. They pulled me out and I gasped from the cold. I breathed deep breathes while getting a rush of pelted wind in the face.

They were all laughing their heads off. Ugh, Karmas a b****.
