Cassandra Uley: Werewolves
Chapter 1
Over There- m0h & Owen Westlake Feat. Graciellita (Owen Westlake Dubstep Remix)
~Cassandra~
The rain poured down the window slowly. Just like the blood falling from the woman's lips as she called me by some other name. She was confused but came to me, calling me someone else's name. Her red hair, bright in the green of the forest, flowed behind her as she smiled at me and beckoned me to come. In the blink of an eye she was gone when people started calling for me and Marcus. Marcus was pale, as pale as our russet skin could get, and deadly still as he laid there, his limbs sprawled in discomforting ways.
Crying out as I woke up from the dream, a horrific memory. Pulling my legs up to myself, I comforted myself. There's no one to stop these nightmares and the more I run away the more they come to haunt me. Looking at my wall in the moonlight all the drawings were the same, the horrific nightmares. She's coming back for me. She's haunting me. The rain streaked down my window casting shadows seeping down the walls.
Turning on my light I went to sit on my window seat. The water in the distance shined and the cliffs gleamed silver. The woods dark and scary. Drawing the women I saw that day I hated her. She killed my boyfriend and promised to be back for me. Technically she said she'd be back for Elena but she confused me for this Elena. Looking up at my clock it read only five o'clock.
Rubbing my eyes I went to the bathroom and took a shower. Brushing out my curly hair I was thankful I got my father's wavy hair and not my mother's straight Quileute hair. Instead of having flat lifeless straight hair I have hair that goes down in smooth silky black waves. Putting on a simple white t-shirt and some ripped dark wash skinny jeans, I went downstairs. Shoving my feet in into my black Burberry rain boots and sliding into my North Face, I quietly open and shut the front door. My brother, Sam, would kill me, well ground me again, if I snuck out again like this. Walking silently I loved the rain as it came down in a gentle mist. Making my way someone cut me off. My face came to their bare chest and immediately knew who it was. It was one of my brother's friends. Looking up Jacob stood there looking down at me. His usually happy brown eyes clouded with emotions. His hair soaked and dripping down his face. We stayed like that for a couple more seconds.
"What're you doing?" He finally asked, his voice showing annoyance and anger.
"I couldn't sleep." I said quietly.
Me and Jacob used to be best friends but he left me. Me, Jacob, Quil, and Embry used to be the four musketeers until they changed. They became buff and cut off their hair and started hanging out with my brother. They all left me and I turned to girlfriends and cheerleading. Being popular and having to many friends to keep up with, was where I fell in after that. Before Jacob changed, I had a crush on him, but what girl on the rez didn't? Quil and Embry even had fan girls too. When they changed in became pandemonium and all the girls fawned over them, Jared, Paul and my brother. After Jacob changed I felt a pull towards him when I saw him on his first day back. The last time we talked was when he was warning me to stay away from Marcus. Now I wish I had listened.
"Cassie, are you listening to me?" Jacob said pulling me out of my thoughts. "You could get sick out here, and Sam would kill me. Are you okay?" He continued.
"Please don't act like you care anymore! If you really cared you wouldn't have left me! I don't need you and I'm fine." I said angrily moving past him.
"Cassie!" He called angrily after me.
"Leave me alone." I called over my shoulder. Going back to Sam and Emily's, Emily was sitting at the kitchen table and Sam was pacing. Jacob came in right behind me and I walked past them both to go upstairs.
Slamming my door, I felt like everything was in a downward spiral. Emily was so worried about me that she thought about sending me away. Talking her out of it I tried acting normal around her. Laughing, talking, smiling, drawing, it wasn't all fake. Muffled voices floated through the house. Ignoring them I turned to my note book and started drawing until I fell asleep again. The sound of my door woke me up. Someone came in. Not moving I drowsily peeked over to see Jacob standing and looking over my wall of nightmare drawings. He ripped one off of its tack and moved over to my bed.
"I'm sorry." He said and I felt his warm hand brush my forehead and hair. With his hand on cheek I almost instantly fell asleep. Was it all a dream?
Waking up the sun streamed through my window and was persistently trying to get me up. I had fallen asleep in my white tee and jeans so they were crumpled and disarrayed. Changing into a blue tee and a pair of black under armor UA French sweat shorts I went to sit at my window. Watching out the window I saw Jacob, and Embry rough housing and Quil laughing with Seth and Paul.
Sometimes I wish that I'd change too so I could be with them again. When I said it out loud once, Embry looked at me and shook his head before saying; "I don't wish you would. I'd rather be normal." They avoided me as if I was plagued and only came near me if necessary not even Paul or Jared acted like them. I didn't understand and I guess I never would. Going downstairs Emily smiled at me.
"Parker just got here." She said.
"Really!" I said excitedly. Parker was my best friend now. He took over Jacob, Embry and Quil's and more but not even he could keep away the nightmares. He was an artist just like me and went off to Art College in New York last year. Running outside I saw Sam greeting him. "Parker…!" I yelled and ran to him. He smiled and laughed catching me as I jumped into his arms.
"Hey Cass…" He said squeezing me. "God… you're so lucky I love you or I would have never some back to this town." He said lowly. Chuckling we let go of each other.
"Come on I have so much to show you." I said pulling him into the house. Emily was feeding everyone as we came in.
"Hey Emily." Parker waved.
"Hi Parker." She smiled before we went upstairs.
"Cass, slow down we have a whole summer." Parker said. Pulling out my portfolio I showed it to him. He looked at them in awe before smiling at me. "These are so great." He said.
"Not as good as yours I sent them to the Art College in New York and I'm still waiting for the letter." I said pulling off my drawings on the wall.
"Don't worry mine didn't come until the end of July. It's still June the SAT scores aren't going to be in until next week. Don't worry." He said looking at the remaining drawings.
"I think moving to New York would be good for me." I sighed.
"Me too but running from it won't work." He said rubbing my shoulders. Taking his hand I smiled.
"In plus, I didn't come here to put you down. I came here to watch you graduate and party." He smiled.
"I know." I said and looked at my cap and gown resting on my closet door.
"Yes. Now Ms. Valedictorian did you write a speech?" He said.
"Um… no..." I said and flinched waiting for him to nag me. He clucked his tongue, shaking his head.
"You better get to writing." He said.
"I'll think of something eventually." I shrugged it off.
"Come on I have to say hi to Emily." He said leaving to go downstairs. Following behind him we went downstairs. Everyone greeted Parker and he hugged Emily hello.
"So how's New York?" Emily said as she sat next to Sam.
"Great! I love it there. it's ceases to amaze me. I finally saw the statue of liberty up close, and went to the empire state building. You can never get bored in the city." Parker beamed.
"It sounds amazing." Emily said.
"it is." He said dreamily.
"I cant wait to go!" I said.
"I know the first place we have to go is Times Square." He said.
"When are you going to New York?" Sam said.
"I applied to art college there… and that's kinda why Parker's here because we're taking a trip to New York as a graduation present." I smiled innocently.
"Oh that'll be great!" Emily said and nudged Sam who was looking at Jacob. Jacob stood and he was shaking. Everyone shared a knowing look besides me and Parker. Jacob left and Embry and Sam followed.
"Don't mind him he's just grumpy." Paul said ruffling my hair.
"Yea, when is he never." Jared said chuckling.
"When are you leaving?" Emily said.
"Oh a couple days after graduation and don't worry Emily. We'll be back in a week." Parker said.
"Great! It's good for you to get out." Emily said.
We continued with small talk until Sam, Embry and Jacob came back. Parker wanted to go for a hike so he could take some pictures for his photography class he's been taking. Going up stairs and putting on jeans and my black Wellesley hiker vans with blue laces and my North face we went to go for a hike.
"Jacob and Embry will go with you to make sure you don't get lost." Sam said. Rolling my eyes I sighed and he smiled before ruffling my hair. Straightening it back out I took Parkers hand and we left with Jacob and Embry.
"My brother thinks I need baby sitters all the time." I said as we got to the cliffs.
"Don't worry you have one week away from here and then the rest of your life away from here." Parker said as he snapped a few pictures. Sitting on a rock I pulled my knees to my chest and put my chin on my arms as the wind blew my hair back. Jacob and Embry stood awkwardly by the tree line. Parker smiled as he turned the camera on me and snapped a picture. "Beautiful only if she would smile like she used to." He said sitting down and putting his arm around me.
"You smile less when you grow up." I said. He chuckled and shook his head.
"Come on I want to get one of the meadow and water fall." he said holding out his hand. Taking it we used on of the old trails to lead us. Pulling of my jacket I felt warm. "Later we should go for a swim." He said he snapped more pictures.
"We should…" I said sitting down and plucking at the grass. Once he was down he sat down next to me and pulled me back so we were laying next to each other. Watching the clouds I wondered if I'd ever miss this place. "do get homesick sometimes?" I asked.
"no… because I fall in love with my girlfriends so easily I'd do anything to be with them. you know I always believed you were the one who was going to fall in love to quickly." He chuckled.
"I was that one but when you grow up with boys it's different. You know them to well."
"Eh… look at Todd and Brenda. They were best friends and now they're in Seattle and having a baby."
"Some people find that person right there others will search the world to find love."
"Hm…" he hummed thoughtfully.
"I wish I'll find him some day." I sighed and watched the clouds.
