The House Probably Ate Me
Rain sat in the passenger side of the red Ferrari 599 glaring at out the window muttering angrily. David, her foster dad, was speeding down a highway towards their new home in La Push, Washington. Rain wasn't happy about the move, she didn't want to leave her friends, and high school, nor did she want to be in this stupid rainy small town. Noticing her glare David decided to end the silence.
"Glaring isn't gonna help you know that right?"
"Ya maybe, but you never know I could learn how to blow things up with my mind and then I can blow up this stupid little town and then we can leave and go home," Came her witty remark. David shook his head while smirking,
"You know maybe you should tone down the sarcasm, we are trying to fit in here."
"Ya good luck with that, especially when you bring one of the flashiest cars ever to a small Indian Reservation, I'm sure we will fit right in." She commented while rolling her eyes. David simply chuckled and commented about how he just liked fast cars, and that it wasn't that flashy. David was a writer which provided a pretty good paycheck, although he never had to work in an office he still would disappear sometimes to research areas of his next book. This never bothered Rain; she was very independent and often times David would cater to her every need.
Yet for some reason unknown to her, David had decided that they needed a change of pace, and uprooted them to move to La Push, Washington, quite a different place then Kansas City, Missouri from which they came. What irked Rain the most was David had been planning this for awhile, long enough to hire a contractor to build a house close to the boarder of La Push and Forks, yet he hadn't bothered to tell her until a week ago when he announced that she needed to start packing stuff up to be shipped to their new home. She had been texting her friends constantly on her phone, until she kept getting sad that they would never see each other again, and so she resigned herself to glare through the passenger side window at the encroaching town that would be her new home. They would be arriving at their home within the hour.
Jacob's Point of View
Jake was in his wolf form running around doing his nightly boarder check listening to the sounds of the night. He suddenly came to a halt at the newly erected house, it was finally finished. He remembered the first time he heard about some contractor asking the village if it was alright to build it, through Sam's thoughts he had heard the conversation that had transpired about how a writer and his daughter we building the house to move into.
He wasn't really sure how he felt about it I mean what some snooty writer and stuck up brat of a child could do to the town. He knew some of the tribe leaders had qualms about the intrusion but Sam and Jake's father Billy both were adamant on allowing it. Jacob had always wondered why yet some how both we able to keep it a mystery, the only thing any of the pack had gathered from Sam's thoughts was someone had called them and said it would be a good thing.
Jacob's thoughts moved from the looming house in front of him towards the boarder, and Bella, his heart gave a painful lurch and he hung his head. He still couldn't believe she chose that stupid blood sucking leech over him. He knew it had been awhile since he and Bella were close, hell it had even been awhile since the wedding that sealed her fate had happened, yet time still didn't numb the pain. Jake was in the middle of his senior year, and most of his pack was excited to be top dogs at school now.
He let his thoughts wander for awhile while finishing his route, until he heard Seth's thoughts with his own signaling it was time for Jacob to retire for the night. He transformed in the trees by his house and pulled on the pair of pants he had tied to his leg before slowly treading his way into his house and up the stairs to his nice warm bed. He lied down and almost instantly fell asleep.
Rain's Point of View
After HOURS of driving Rain and David finally arrived to the new house, unfortunately it was one in the morning and Rain gets grouchy if she doesn't get a lot of sleep. She stormed up the stairs angrily trying to find her room, after walking down a long hallway she finally found what she assumed was her room and dove into bed.
The next morning Rain woke up confused, after realizing this was her new house she got up and went to explore. As soon as she opened the door to her room her nose was assaulted with the smell of what she hoped was breakfast. Walking down a long hallway she turned and found a set of stairs that eventually led to the kitchen. David was making cinnamon rolls and was almost finished; all that was left was the icing. Rain pulled out a chair to the island and waited for David to set the plate down so she could help herself. David prompted breakfast off with a conversation.
"So … I heard there is a nice beach close by, there might be some nice kids who hang out there if you know you wanted someone to hang out with."
"Ya well what if I don't want anyone to hang out with?" Rain replied while picking at her breakfast, not her best comeback but hey it was still early.
"Well than what do you plan on doing today then?" He inquired.
"Well seeing how huge this house is, I figured I would attempt to explore it, yet it's so big I may not be found for a week just incase you cared, but hey if I don't come back in two weeks call the police 'cause the house probably ate me." Rain quickly finished her breakfast and began exploring.
She made it to the foyer and began to realize the structure of the house. It was more wide than deep, the foyer had a grand stair case on both the left and right side and it meet up at the top yet also spilt off in wings at the top. Each wing had a master bedroom, two other rooms and a common bathroom, Rain's wing was the right and David's the left. On each wing one of the extra rooms was to be turned into a study for the wings occupant while the other is to become a guest room.
On the main floor was the foyer and to the right was the kitchen, complete with modern appliances attached to the back was a pantry and next to that was the door to the garage. From the left of the foyer was the family room with a home entertainment system and behind that was a den filled with bookcases.
When you go straight from the front door, in-between the two stair cases were another stair case that leads to the basement. When one took a left there was a huge home gym filled with two treadmills, weights, and a small lap pool, with a hot tub.
Yet back at the entrance if one took a right it lead to a play room, which was filled with TV's and game consoles and a stereo system, it was a big open place that David obviously meant for parties to be.
'Sigh okay then well I guess it didn't take that long to explore, damn I was hoping for an excuse to avoid school for the week. It is gonna suck starting right before Thanksgiving break garr stupid David.' Rain thought to her self and she began walking upstairs making up her mind to give the pool a test run she went to her room and found her swimsuit and ran back downstairs making a mental note that she was gonna leave the suit down by the pool.
Surprised by the locker room that was there she was still making sure she was gonna get a good use of it. She changed into her swimsuit and found a weird control and began playing with it, finding out it was a stereo controller. "NO WAY, the gym gets its own sound system so you can listen to music as you work out cool." She picked up a CD she had burned that contained a bunch of girly music that Rain loved to work out to. She jumped in, happy to discover that the pool was heated, and began swimming a few laps.
Sam's Point of View
The tribe elders wanted to give the new comers a formal welcome, and I knew the pack should check out them as well, so when Billy said he would go visit them, I volunteered to come along. Billy wanted Jacob to come along as well because he wanted the writer to know there were good children for his daughter to hang out with. This is how all three men ended up on the doorstep of the newly constructed house ringing the door bell.
Quickly after it had stopped ringing a man opened the front door. He was normal height and build with, brown hair and brown eyes. He wore thin white glasses and had a bookish demeanor. Upon seeing the three of them his face lit up with a welcoming smile which Billy and I returned, yet Jacob merely shrugged.
"Hi there my name is Billy Black, this is my son Jacob, and my friend Sam Uley, and this here is one of the best pies you will ever have. We just wanted to stop by and welcome you to La Push" Billy said welcoming.
"Well this is a pleasant surprise please come in come in. My name is David Shepard please come in." The man said ushering us into his house. The place was huge.
"How about we go to the kitchen and serve up that pie eh?" David said leading us to what supposedly was the kitchen, we all agreed knowing it was Susan Clearwater's pie and it would be delicious. They sat in the kitchen and began eating the pie, Billy and David seemed to be hitting it off and it reminded me of how Billy and Charlie are. Jacob sat and picked his pie moodily, while I was more content on finding out why Billy and I got the call to allow this to happen.
After David and Billy had made plans to get together and go fishing with Charlie, it seemed our trip was coming to an end. Our group of four slowly made its way back out to the foyer when we ran into the daughter. She was coming up the stairs in gray sweet pants with '09 written on the leg, and in a black hoodie that looked way too big for her. She was still drying her hair with a towel.
"Hey there young lady," David said in a stern voice.
"Yo," She said and she turned around and faced us, even with her hair being wet, I could tell she was blonde, but a sandy blonde, with green eyes. I could feel Jacob instantly stiffen next to me.
"You and I are going to have a talk later understand?" David continued. She rolled her eyes,
"About what?" she inquired.
"The laundry," he said cryptically while taking a side glance at our group. She knitted her brow in concentration as she raised her head to look at the ceiling exposing her neck more, I could hear Jacob suck in a breath and hold it. Whatever David was scolding her about finally came into her head and she rolled her eyes.
"Oh about that, seriously?" she asked in disbelief. David nodded his head curtly and turned to our group with a more pleasing smile than given to his daughter and said, "Billy, Sam, Jacob this is my daughter Rain; Rain this is Billy Black, Sam Uley, and Jacob Black." while pointing us each out with our names. Rain simply gave a smile wave, sidestepped our group, passing right by Jacob, and went upstairs still drying her hair. Once she disappeared from sight Jake finally let out that breath he had been holding. I side glanced at Jacob and saw that his eyes where still lingering on the spot where Rain disappeared from. He looked back at me and looked at the floor like he was guilty of something. As we were lead out I began thinking of Jacob's actions around Rain and I started wondering about a few things.
Jacob's Point of View
I was lying on my bed staring at the ceiling thinking of her, and for the first time in a long time this 'her' wasn't Bella. We didn't really have much contact but just the way she looked, so fragile yet strong, so innocent yet corrupted. I couldn't deny it know matter how much I tried, I was crushing after the new girl. I had to get to know her, figure out everything about her. I made it my mission, I was going to know everything there was to know about her, and she was going to be mine. 'Hey whoa wait a second thoughts 'mine?' that sounds a little protective now doesn't it? Why would this stupid girl matter I mean sure she could be a good friend but no need to become a creeper about it right? Oh that's what I thought about Bella' With that the old pain of losing Bella caused me to drift into sleep, yet the pain seemed to lessen, and if that didn't clue me into something was up with the new girl, then the dreams about her and that towel sure did throw a bid hard clue at me the next morning.
