Hey guys this is my favorite story iv e written so far I hope you love it too :)

Angst. It was a living breathing thing that lived within me. Sometimes I could feel it lurking around, attempting to break free. It was with me now as Kim and I prowled along the deserted beach around midnight. But i'm pretty good at hiding my fear. I didn't want Kim to think she'd made a mistake when she had convinced me to work as her partner this summer as forest guide. I guess I could learn a thing or two from her about beating down the evil whispers in my head. She took the meaning of friendship to a whole new level.

But still, moving out here all alone to a place where wild animals looked at us for tasty snacks was insane. It was even crazier that we hadn't told anyone, not even Jared her over clingy boyfriend. We'd kept quite about leaving her house because Jared or any of his friends would probably skin us alive. After only being here a week I definitely didn't want my aunt Caroline to send me home.

I tightened my white cold fingers around my flashlight in hopes that the light would warm them up even the slightest bit, but no such luck. They remand as cold as they were before if not colder.

Off to the side of the beach where the trees are so thick that you would need a machete just to get through them, I heard a rustling noise.

"Shhh! Kim wait up! What the hell was that?" I whimpered quietly.

Kim scanned the trees with her yellow flashlight "What was what?" she asked in a hurry.

My light hit her as I swung it around in attempt to find what she missed. She staggered back and put up her hand to protect her eyes from the brightness of my flashlight. Her smooth black hair reflected the light and appeared to look like a ravens wing, beautiful and mysterious. She reminded me of the magical imprints from the La Push tribal stories. And I knew in a way I was right she held the same inner strength as all the women from the stories and not to mention she was a brainiac.

"I thought I heard something," I told her.

"Like what?"

"I'm not sure, maybe it was nothing" my head and heart were pounding, I searched around one more time. I loved the woods but tonight they are just giving me the creeps. I couldn't help but get the feeling that I was being watched.

Kim draped her arm around my slender shoulders easily. She was taller then me but not by much, and she was definitely more buff then I was, all the hiking and rock climbing did her good. We had met last summer when my parents brought me to visit my aunt and my cousin Colin. Kim's boyfriend Jared turned out to be Colin's friend so when he came over and brought Kim, well lets just say we became fast friends. We kept in touch after I left through email and text.

"There is no way were being followed, it was probably just a squirrel" Kim assured me.

"Must me some nocturnal squirrel" I muttered. Kim burst out laughing "Thats right there native to La Push, only place in the world where you'll find em" I started to laugh along with her easing up a bit.

I was still jumpy about the whole noise in the woods so I listened intently but the woods were eerily quiet. Didn't predators go quiet when pray was near? "Um Kim, maybe we should head back."

We were about eight miles from La Push.

"Are you 'bawk! bawk!' chicken Chelsea?"

"Very funny. What if my aunt finds out i'm gone and sends me home?" I complained.

"Don't be such a stick in the mud your aunt is too nice to send you home if you do one thing wrong. Come on were almost there."

"Where exactly are we going?" All she'd told me was that she wanted to go on a midnight hike and me being the good friend I was couldn't let her get eaten by a bear went with her.

As I fell instep with Kim my mind wondered to my uncle. When I was twelve just five years ago he was killed in these very woods by who knows what. People say it was bears but I always got the feeling that it was something more.

Off to my right, a tree branch cracked. I stopped mid-step. The hairs on my neck prickled. I slid my hand beneath the veil of curly blond hair and rubbed me neck. A shiver went down my spine and goose flesh erupted over my arms and legs. I got that feeling of being watched again.

Kim noticing that I wasn't with her stopped "What now" she sounded annoyed

"Something is following us" I whispered "I can feel it"

"There is nothing there so come on Chels" Kim stomped off and I was forced to follow not wanting to be left alone.

Up ahead of us on the cliff there was a bright light that looked like a campfire, "who's that?" I only answer I received was 'you wait and see'. That annoyed me.

When we hiked up the hill to get to the cliff and stepped out from the trees, there was a clearing illuminated by a huge bonfire surrounded by all are other friends.

"Welcome to the tribal stories!" Jacob black shouted with his mouth stuffed full of hotdogs. He combed his dark hair out of his face to reveal his chocolate brown eyes. He held up a wrist that supported his supper tan skin and announced "Stories begin in 30 minutes people!" gota love Jake.

A short distance away from Jake was Embry, with straight black hair that reached his chin and eyes a caramel brown. He burst out laughing as my cousin Colin tripped over his own feet and fell flat on his butt.

Beside him was Jared who looked like Jakes twin. His hair was a shaggy dark brown and his eyes were a warm chocolate color.

I took a deep breath and look around the rest of the fire and saw Sam and his fiancee Emily, Seth, Brady Leah (who glared at me of course) and then I saw him.

Paul Lahote.

He was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed over his muscled chest,almost lost in the shadows as if he didn't want anyone to know he was there. But he had such a strong pull on me that I'd be surprised if I couldn't find him in a dark room. His eyes,so black swallow me up into there darkness witch is so intriguing and he was watching me just as intently as I was watching him.

At that moment every one gasped and pointed up to the sky, and there among all the twinkling lights was a shooting star! "Make a wish Chelsea!" Jake shouted in my ear I laughed then looked over at Paul who had a smirk on his face and made my wish.
