So this story was already uploaded on my other account but like I said I forgot the password so now it's on this one(haha) also I have changed some parts bc I started this when I was around 14/15 and I'm 16 now and have better writing :)
song: lullaby- Avril Lavgine
"Come on! We're going to be late!" My mom called me for the tenth time
"I'm coming!" I shouted back checking my appearance in the mirror... Again
"Look, Amelia, I'm sure Taylor will love you! but we really need to go!"
"What? I'm not doing this for him" I protested running down stairs. My mom raised an eyebrow
"Mhmm..."
I bit my lip "is it really that obvious?" She nodded "crap!" I'd had a massive crush on Taylor Call ever since I was in elementary school and now it seems like everyone down at the reservation knew it
"Me and Jacob were talking about you two the other day actually and-" I cut my mom off.
"You were talking about my love life with Jacob Black?" I could feel my pale skin turn crimson
"Oh relax, it wasn't about setting you two up"
I looked down awkwardly at my long auburn brownish, reddish curls. "Uh... please... Don't... You know how I feel about Jacob..." Jacob Black has been trying to get with my mom for as long as I can remember. And according to my best friend Bailey, he has been helping my mom getting over my dad... I've never really liked Jacob that much... Partly because he's always miring over my mom and partly because when I was six, I drew a picture of me, my mom and... My dad... Well what I thought looked like my dad... I remember seeing all the pain and love in my moms eyes... But I would never forget Jacobs face... Pain, anger, hate... I even thought I could hear his thoughts...
'Stupid bloodsucking leech and his family!'
'She should have been mine!'
Later that day i saw Jacob rip apart my picture bit by bit... And from that day on I swore I would never like or trust Jacob Black...
"Amelia... AMELIA!" I jumped up hearing my moms voice
"What? What is it?!" I asked panicked. It took me a moment to figure out were I was "oh..." I looked to see half of the reservation looking at me... I blushed a deep shade of red
"You are SO your mothers daughter!" I heard a familiar voice say. I looked around until I came face to face with Emily Uley "it's so good to see you again!" She turned to my mother "you too Bella, it's like I haven't seen you guys in ages."
"It's only been a month Emily" I replied hoping out off my moms new BMW
"Still!" She said rapping her arms around me again
"Bella!" A husky voice called out from the distance- I recognised it straight away as Jacob Black.
"Hey Jake!" I watched as he picked up and spun my mom around.
"Hey Amelia"
"Hi" I said awkwardly looking for my best friend and waving when I saw her "Bailey!" I squealed speed walking up to her.
The faster i get out of the narrow gaze of Jacob Black the better! I thought to myself.
"Hey!" Bailey met my wave with open arms "I can't believe we're juniors already! Where has the time gone!"
I smiled at my best friend remembering the first day we met. It's was one of those rare sunny days in Forks when we were shoved together on First beach, at first it was awkward. Bailey kept on saying how I smelt funny- this made me upset. So I did what any other five year old kid would have done... I cried. After some stern words from her farther Sam, Bailey apologised and we've been inseparable ever since!
"I know! I still remember freshmen year like it was yesterday!" I replied running my hands through my hair
"It's crazy!" Just then Alana Reed ran up to us in awe
"Don't look now but Taylor and Josh are totally checking you guys out!"
I blushed
"I heard him and my brother talking about asking you guys to winter formal!" This made me blush even more "you know, Amelia, I never thought I'd be saying this but it looks like you skin has actually gotten paler" I have always had pale skin. Everyone say's i get it from my mom, which is probably true... But I'm like a deathly pale... It's scary... I couldn't be sure but i swear I just saw Bailey nudge Alana. "Anyway..." Alana gasped "here they come..."
"Hey" Josh greeted us
"Hello" I said back casually while Bailey just stood there gaping
"... Um... Can I speak with you Bay?" Bailey didn't move
"Ahem!" I cleared my throat
"Oh... Sorry... What was that you were saying?" I rolled my eyes
"I said can I speak with you in private?" Josh sounded more relaxed the second time round
"Sure!" Bailey's eyes lit up. I watched as Josh took Bailey's hand and led the way. She turned around and smiled a big cheesy grin before walking away.
"Amelia?" I turned to see Taylor Call (looking hotter then ever) standing in front of me.
"Yeah?" I replied fiddling with a piece of my hair
"So... Um... I was wondering if... You'd... Um..." This was it! The big moment I've been waiting for my whole life...
'Be my winter formal date?'
"Yes!" I squealed hugging him. That was before I realised something...
"I didn't say anything..."
I scowled... "Oh" weird. I could have sworn I heard him say it...
"So you can read minds now?" I glared at him and cursed myself for opening my big mouth and delaying him asking me out "that depends..." I cocked my head to one side like those girls on T.V "is that what you were thinking?..." Taylor's face went red
"Um... Maybe... Possibly... Yes..." A big grin spread across my face and I let out a little squeal "so does that mean yes or...-" I cut him off before he could even finnish the sentence
"Yes!" I gave him a little hug as he exhaled
"Amelia! Taylor! Come on! people are hungry!" Paul shouted at us from the camp fire.
"Coming!" Yelled Taylor before turning to me and offering me his hand "shall we?" I smiled taking his hand
"We shall" I replied letting him led the way. Are entrance was met by a lot of staring eyes. A lot.
Jacob sat with his arm round my mom protectively, her mouth hanging open. Sam and Emily next to them there face full of shock. Paul stuffing his face- as per usual and the rest just staring like we were some sort of exotic creatures. The only people that looked happy that we walked in hand in hand were Bailey and Josh who were sat on the floor. Bailey clapping her hands like a little child
I looked at Taylor who just sat down and pattered the space beside him
"Ignore them" he whispered in my ear putting an arm round my waist and pulling me closer, I blushed not knowing where to look. I've always felt a bit weird next to any of the elder ones, so when I was sat on the floor in front of Sam I guess you could say awkward! I tuned out of most of what Billy was saying as I've heard it all before... The Quilleetes were a small tribe... They had an Alpha... They believed in the sprit of the wolf... They were wolfs... All fairytale stuff really. So when Billy started talking about 'the cold ones' I couldn't help the shiver that ran down my spine. Ever had the feeling someone's watching you? Well I know I have. In fact it's happening right now. As Billy carried on speaking, another shiver ran down my back causing Taylor to tighten his grip round my waist.
"The stories say that the cold women was the beautifulest thing human eyes had ever seen. She looked like the goddess of the dawn when she entered the village that morning; the sun was shining for once and it glittered off the pale white skin and lit the golden hair that flowed down to her knees. Her face was magical in its beauty, her eyes black in her deathly pale face. Some fell to their knees to worship her.
"There was twenty wittiness the cold women's approach. Two survived, but only because she grew distracted by the blood and paused to sate her thirst. They ran to Taha Aki, who sat in the counsel with the other elders, his sons and his third wife. Yaha Uta transformed into his sprit wolf as soon as he heard the news. He went to destroy the blood drinker alone. Taha Aki, his third wife, his sons and his elders followed behind him."
It took me about half a minute to realize what 'the cold ones' really where. I mean in the real world. The cold woman's glittered pale white skin mirrored my own when the sun hits my left arm, I couldn't help look down at my arm to notice how Alana was right... My skin had gotten paler. A thought crossed my mind then. If these people believed in this 'sprit of the wolf' thing... What else did they believe in?... And... Just how much of it was true... I decided I was going to ask Taylor. After all his great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was in the same tribe as Taha Aki. I caught a glimpse of my mom looking a bit uncomfortable around Jacob. Her gaze fixed on me, she seemed to be speaking with Jacob about something i couldn't quite make out. As I turned my attention back to Billy, Taylor's grip loosened around my wast as he got a glare off of Bailey's older brother Will. Although Will is a year older, me and him used to be really close friends when we where younger and then as soon as he got into high school it's like he was a whole new person! He didn't talk to me as much and when he did it was simple words like: 'yeah' and 'whatever!' Bailey swore it was down to his raging boy hormones but I could tell she was just trying to spare my feelings as the boy I once called my best friend, my brother... Was gone... And he was never coming back...
I looked at my mom again who now looked like she was arguing with Jacob. I turned to Taylor
"I'm going to go see what my moms arguing with Jacob about"
"Okay" he said before planting a soft kiss on my lips. I stared at him in shock... Did he really just kiss me? Taylor just laughed softly. I was still in a daze when I approached my mom
"I knew coming here was a mistake... Why didn't you tell me this story was going to be told?"
"Because I knew you wouldn't come, and I thought it would be good for Amelia to here the legends..."
"What stories?" I finally asked. They both froze "well?..."
"The only way to really kill the cold ones was too tear them apart and burn the pieces" I flinched at Billy's choice of words
"Let's go Amelia" my mom stood up
"Why?" I asked annoyed
"...A bigger coven came..."
"Because I said so, now come on"
"... Strange yellow eyes..." I felt intrigued with this story so I stopped walking
"Amelia..."
"Hang on..."
"Their leader promised not to hurt our tribe..." Billy looked directly at me
"Okay Amelia, that's enough stories for one night... Lets go home..." This time I did as I was told and go in the car after waving goodbye to everybody.
The drive back home seemed longer than usual. I kept on going back to what Billy had said. 'Strange yellow eyes' supposed to red or black... Hmmm... What was it about these vampires that intrigued me? I went though all the possibilities until...
"Wake up sleeping beauty..." I felt a soft hand shake me
"Oh, how long was I out?"
"A while... Come on... Lets get you to bed" she helped me out the car and into the house
"You know I won't fall over or anything mom?"
"You never know... Accidents happen" I rolled my eyes and made my way to my room.
"Crap!" I mumbled, forgetting my art project was due tomorrow. I needed that B grade otherwise I wouldn't be able to take art final. I ran to my bed and began to pull out random boxes until I found my photo albums. I was in the middle of sketching my gramps when a picture of me and Will caught my eye... It was 2 years ago now that me and him shared our first kiss... I remember it well... Hot night... Beautiful skyline... Just me and him... I picked up my guitar and started to play the song I'd written when I knew I lost him...

I sighed

"Love you too mom!" I yelled back
"Night!"
