Chapter 1:
Insignificant Holidays
Like always I could see the trees zipping by me at numerous speeds, its a wonder to how I can run this fast now. This morning felt like every other morning though, boring, but today Sam assigned me the late shift right before sunset which was a little strange, but I really don't care. Normally, Leah or I run the perimeter before school, checking for possible "intruders" as Sam says, but today La Push schools were out do to some insignificant holiday that only the Elders celebrate now and of course us "kids" just take it as a day off from school. I have always been the type of kid for a holiday but to my mother's disappointment I didn't even know the name of the holiday we were suppose to be celebrating today, but did I also mention I have a short attention span so I rarely ever know what my mom talks about now a days.
I could finally see my house coming into view as I came closer to the edge of the woods. Of course now would be the time to change back into human form that is, unless I want my friends and family to see me naked.
Changing from human to wolf or wolf to human, no longer seems difficult but just awkward. I can always feel something building inside of me, to where I have to change or explode. Like I said its awkward more than anything.
Ever since the whole Jacob and Nessie thing, everyone has been closer as a family, including the Cullens. On an average bases we are normally over at the Cullens five days a week, at least. Also we have changed the rules around a bit too, the Elders have agreed to let the Cullens cross the boarder onto the reservation. Today we had planned on having all the Cullens over but, of course, Carlisle had to work, Rosalie will not cross the boarder even though Emmett wants to come, and Jasper still has his trusting issues. On the bright side though, we are all like family more than anything, yes it may be a disfunctional family, but its still family.
Lately my house had a make-over due to Leah being extremely bored, and wanting to paint, so mom let her paint the house and give it a "make-over". Our house had some weird colors before, but this is just...wow. Mom said we have to paint it again soon because it looks "ridiculous". The door was a red burgundy color. The house had been painted a dark royal blue and well she even painted the blinds a yellow color. If you asked me I would say it looks like a house superman would live in, but what am I to know.
From the backyard I could see my mom sitting on the back porch with Billy Black, Jacob's dad, and Charlie Swan, Bella's dad. Great, I don't even have time to clean up. I can see it now, Jacob shirtless, Edward all nice and Bella looking great like always but by force from Alice. Bella was still relentless about wearing fancy clothes and stuff but Alice didn't care. From the looks of it Edward,Bella,and Nessie were the only Cullens that came over but thats not unusual. Recently Jacob had took his rightful spot as pack leader, or Alpha while Sam stepped down and took Beta so, of course, his whole pack was here. Shortly after Bella had Nessie, Jacob had turned into a wolf in front of Charlie scaring the hell out of him. About 3 months later Bella told him how she was a vampire, and of course he thought she need a shrink right then and there, that is until he saw her pick a car up with one hand. Now he just sticks to his need-to-know basis motto.
When I walked into my mother's view I could see her smile. Apparently that's been the fastest run I have had ever, which made me smile back.
"Hey mom, what's up?" I screamed at her waving my hand. This is the first she has seen me since I took off out the house this morning to go hang out with Quil.
"We have company over, Jacob has brought the pack over along with some of the Cullens." She said pointing towards the inside of our house.
"Thanks." I dashed for the kitchen knowing Embry and Quil would be in there at the least.
Instead I found Emily in the kitchen making more food, while everyone else just crashed out on the couch. I could hear them all bickering and laughing. Apparently there was a new girl in town.
"Hey guys, whats up?" I decided I might as well ask even though I know the answer.
Jacob started to stand up until Nessie started tugging on his arm asking him to pick her up, so I had to resort to Sam answering, "Well there is a new girl in town and well we cant get any info on her, not even Edward"--Edward decided to cut in from there--"It's as if her "voice" is a light hum, I can barely make out what she is thinking but right now they are only stupid thoughts, so we have nothing to worry about." Wow, thats a load of info and all I asked was 'What's up', they sure have gotten thorough lately. I wonder if some thing happened while I was out running the perimeter of Forks? Nah, probably not. For some odd reason though some thing seems different, could it be mom moved the furniture or maybe it's just we have that many people in my house. As if right now there are are at least twenty people in my house so that might be why its just a little crammed in here.
"So Bella whats been up in your side of the woods?" That was a stupid question, I was over there just yesterday.
Of course she just looked at me funny but at least she tried to answer nicely,"Well Nessie went to bed after you left..."
"Yeah that was a stupid question." I just sat there and shook my head as everyone laughed.
I could hear my mom come in through the back door,"Ok guys dinner is ready!"
After that the next minute and a half was a blur due to the fact everyone but the Cullens stormed over to the dining table, which could barely fit everyone, but somehow my mom managed to pull off everyone being able to sit at the table. Like always the Elders were here, ready to have our weekly meeting, since everyone was together. They decided to save all the stories and boring stuff for the bonfire tonight, though so basically we just talked about stupid stuff throughout dinner.
"Hey, Billy, What holiday is it exactly?" I asked, actually curious as to what the answer was.
"We call it The Night Of Spirits."
"Why do you call it that?" I asked getting interested and annoyed at the same time.
He answered in the annoying Yoda way,"You'll find out tonight, just wait."
