"Nessie? Nessie hun, time to get up" a voice whispered gently in my ear. My eyes blinked open, letting too-bright sunlight rush in. Grandma was leaning over me, shaking me gently.i groaned and pulled my huge blanket over my head, snuggling deep into my bed.
"Em-"Grandma began. I bolted upright. I did NOT want to be woken up agin by being dumped in a pool!
"Ok, OK! I'm coming!" I cried jumping out of bed and sprinting down the stairs.
Mom handed me a bowl of Cinnomen Crunch.
"Eat this quickly, than we can go hunt." She told me.
"Is Jacob coming?" We weren't 'officially' together but we were as close to it as it gets.
" 'course I am!" Jake said, coming in from the garage.
"Mornin' " he winked at me, causing me to blush furiously. I pushed my bowel away and ran upstairs.
"You're not finished!" My mom cried after me.
I ignored her. I pulled open my closet and yanked out my best hunting jeans and an old tank top.
After running a brush through my long curls I began to go down stairs. A whirl of wind and two stone figures blocked my way.
"Brush?" Aunt Alice hissed, holding out her hand. I groaned and slapped it into her tiny, marble hand. Stupid phsycic! They sat me down firmly in my beauty chair and went to work untangling my mane of hair.
"This is pointless!" I cried as Aunt Rose began braiding one side.
"I'm going to be hunting!"
"Exactly! And I swear if you mess it up..." Aunt Alice threatened.
"So…the whole perky, bubbly thing not working out for you is it?" I smirked. My Aunt stopped to glare at me. By the time they were done with me, my hair was combed and neatly braided.
"There." Alice said, looking quite pleased with herself. I glared at her and bolted out of the room. The stairs would take to long, I decided, upon remembering that my Jake was down there. Shrugging, I popped over the banister and landed with a quiet thump. I peeked around the corner. There he was. He was talking pleasantly with Grandpa but I could tell he was anxious by the way his eyes darted around the room. I took a deep breath, checked my mind block so Dad couldn't get in and walked in as calmly as I could. Did I always get like this around Jake? Pretty much. Jake's eyes settled on mine and he grinned. I leaped into his arms and breathed in his woodsy scent.
"What took so long?" he asked, looking down at me. I was nearly 16 though I only reached his shoulder-barely.
"Let's just say, I almost had to wear shoes!" I laughed.
He reached down and cupped my cheek in one massive hand. I growled playfully and coiled like I was going to spring, than quickly darted around him and raced outdoors. Jacob and my family shook there heads and followed. Halfway to me, Jake turned into a giant wolf. I caught Aunt Rose snarl at him before thrusting her nose in the air. One by one we all picked up scents and tracked them. I copied them and soon caught the scent of a mountain lion- My lion lunged at me carelessly and I easily side stepped it. He let out a roar of anger and I sprung neatly on his back, finishing him off quickly. Once I was finished, I went to find the others. Before I could call out to them or pick up their scent, something caught my eye. A small, brown leather bound journal. I reached down to pick it up and flipped it open.
A name was pressed into the inside.
LEAH CLEARWATER.
