Alien

Chapter One: A New Home

She tapped her finger irritably on the window with her earplugs in her ear, blaring TobyMac. She had been stuck on this frickin' plane for over five hours! And her mood worsened with every thought passing in her mind. Her 'step-dad' had thought it would be better for her to stay with her cousin for her high school years. No she thought viciously, you wanted me out of your life. Pretending you had the perfect family with her mom and their new baby son. He didn't want her because she was too wild and reckless!

Angrily, she wiped away the traitorous tears that were running down her face. She won't go crying to him! She'll show him that she didn't need his money or his family. Besides, she loved her cousin. He is the best of the best! He'd always take time off work to go do things together like cliff diving or play games outside. He was like the dad she never had. Not like the one who had abandoned her and her mother when she was six, she thought bitterly.

Her cousin, Sam, said she didn't have to bring a lot with her, and that they'd go shopping and buy her a whole new bedroom set. A new bed, fresh paint for the walls, a wardrobe, everything. She brought only her clothes, books, and her stuffed animal that was a wolf. Sam had won it for her at a carnival once. She named him Max. But the most important of them all was her cat, Nickodemus.

Yes, she named him after a rat in the book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nihm. Peace and happiness entered her rigid body at the thought of her cat. He was an amazing cat, even though a lot of people didn't like him. He was a short, white haired cat with black on the tips of his ears. His eyes were both different colors though. One was blue and the other was green. He was also a cat of mischief and was always up to something. Like that time he put a dead mouse in her 'step-dads' shoes. She swore that he screamed like a little girl when he put his shoes on in the morning. But he was a loyal cat, always protecting her from anything.

She hadn't noticed how much time had passed until the captain's voice blared annoyingly out of the speakers.

"We are about to land in Los Angeles. Please fasten your seat belts."

Quickly, she put three sticks of gum in her mouth and fastened her seat belt. After thirty minutes, she was finally permitted to get off the plane and into the busy lobby. She looked everywhere, trying to find the luggage pick-up area. Spotting it, she quickly said 'excuse me' as she passed by a beautiful pale woman with reddish eyes. She found her luggage and got Nickodemus out of the big luggage area. Walking towards the windows that overlooked the planes platform, she placed her luggage and Nickodemus's cage at her feet and searched the crowds.

"Yo, Mary!"

Quickly, she turned to her left and saw a tall, russet-skin man walking towards her with a smile on his face. It was Sam!

"Sam," she yelled happily, ignoring the staring people, as she ran and launched herself into Sam's open arms. Laughing, he lifted her and spun her around, then gently placed her back on her feet. A smile lit her face as she spoke.

She pulled away from him and looked at him. "Oh my gosh, Sam! Look at you!" He was a taller, well-toned, and muscular. His hair was cropped really short and she could see a little bit of a tattoo on his right arm beneath his shirt. She lifted her hand and pulled up his sleeve a little to see the whole tattoo. It was a circle with a complicated design. It kind of looked like a wolf. She grinned and looked up at him.

"Wow."

He smiled. "Yeah, I know. Cool huh."

She nodded her head. "How is Emily?"

"She is a little moody sometimes because of the baby, but she is good." His dark eyes lit with a sparkle as he continued. "Emily can't wait to meet you. She has been talking about you non-stop."

She laughed. Sam had married his girlfriend Emily last month, and she was already pregnant! She had tried to come to their wedding but her 'step-dad' refused. She was finally going to meet Emily.

"Then come on! Let's get moving!" She pulled him to her luggage and headed towards his car. Packing everything in the trunk and putting Nickodemus's cage in the back seat, they began their journey to La Push, excitedly discussing what they have been up to. He told her how excited Emily and the gang were to finally meet her. He had also got a new job as a security guard of La Push and he had to work a lot. She grinned excitedly as they began to pass the little shops and houses, when Sam made a sharp left and drove down a narrow one-laned street that lead them to a small, yellow, two story house. She loved it!

Quickly, she grabbed the cage and her bags and ran into the house with a happy squeal. Her foot slipped on the top step and she fell backwards. Closing her eyes tightly, she waited for the fall. When she crashed into something hard and hot. It wrapped their warm arms around her and pulled her close with a chuckle.

"You need to be more careful Mary. You could have seriously hurt yourself." He let her go.

"Yeah, I'll do that," she said shakily. More slowly this time, she walked down the narrow hall with cold wooden floors. Passing doors and pictures of Sam and her, she eventually made it to the last door on the left. The wooden door had a sign on it that said Mary's Room in bright yellow. She smiled at the memory of Sam and her making that when she was ten. They had a paint fight so splashes of different colors were all over her sign. That was the last visit she had, had with Sam until now. Taking in a deep breath, she pushed open the door. Not much had changed since the last time she was her.

There walls were still a faded yellow and were bare. There was an old, wooden nightstand next a twin bed with white, flowery bed sheets. A desk was up against a wall and she smiled happily at seeing a telephone on the desk. He must have bought it for her she thought. The room also had one small window that was on the center of her wall that looked out into the backyard, the forest. The room was small, but it was perfect for her. The door behind her creaked. Turning around, she smiled when she saw Sam leaning against the doorframe.

"We haven't touched anything but I did add a phone. It's a little bare but we still have to shop." He paused for a second. He opened his mouth to speak again when there was a honk outside. His face broke out in a wide grin and he began to speak excitedly like a kid on Christmas.

"Come on Mary! Emily's here!" Then he quickly ran out her door and down the stairs. Mary laughed at his eagerness. He was definitely in love with this one. And silently, she wished for that kind of love as she walked down the stairs. In the doorway, stood Sam with his arms wrapped around a woman. She couldn't see what she looked like because Sam's body shielded her. Then she realized that they were making out. Right in front of her! She waited patiently but cleared her throat nervously as Sam began to put his hand up the woman's shirt. Seriously! Couldn't this wait!

Sam and the woman broke apart from the noise. He turned to her and gave her a cheesy grin. Aaaawww she thought. He's blushing. Clearing his throat, he spoke.

"Mary, this is Emily. Emily, this is Mary." He moved away and she looked at the woman who had captured Sam's heart. She's beautiful she thought. She had the same russet-skin of the Natives and long black hair that was put up in a lazy ponytail. She had a scar on one side of her face but still, she looked beautiful. Mary smiled and stuck out her hand to Emily. Emily smiled back and instead of taking her hand, she gave her a hug. Mary was still, shocked. She had never been hugged by another female like this. It feels nice she thought as she returned the hug. Sam stood there and smiled happily at the scene before him, then picked them up in a big hug.

The girls giggled and laughed, calling out for him to put them down as he spun them around the room. Laughing as well, he finally put them down and smiled down at them.

"Look at my two girls." His eyes twinkled. "I'm so happy that you guys like each other." Emily playfully hit him and turned towards Mary.

"It's so wonderful to finally meet you! Sam spoke so highly of you and I just had to meet you. But then I found out that you were going to live with us for four years! I drove Sam crazy with questions." She smiled lovingly at her mentioning Sam."And now, you are here."

Mary spoke happily. "Yeah. I'm so happy to be here."

"We'll have a lot of time to get to know each other, since you're going to be with us for quite some time." She smiled warmly as she added,"I hope you come to of think of me as your friend. We may not know each other right now but you can always come to me for anything."

Mary felt like crying. No one had ever said that to her, except Sam. How she wished that Sam and Emily were her real parents! This is what a family should be like.

"Thanks Emily. That means a lot. More than you know." Emily looked questioningly at Sam but he silently told her would tell her about it later.

"Oh." She quickly turned around to face Mary again. "The gang will be here at eight, so you might want to get settled a little before they arrive." She glanced at her watch. "It's two so you will have plenty of time."

Emily turned to Sam. "I'm going to go get the groceries."

"No, it's okay. I'll do it," Mary said quickly.

Emily smiled. "Thank you."

"No probe," she said as she pushed open the screen door and walked to Emily's blue Honda.

"Mary?" Sam opened the screen door a little.

"Yeah?"

"There's somethin' I want to show you tomorrow."

"Kay."

She brought in all the groceries and put them in the refrigerator, and Emily was running around cooking food. A lot of food.

"How many mouths are you cooking for," Mary asked jokingly.

Emily was still running around all over the kitchen as she spoke. "Um… The whole gang is coming so I would say about… nine? Some of boys have girlfriends though and they might bring them along, so a lot." Mary laughed.

"Can I help you cook," Mary asked.

Emily turned from the stove to smile. "Sure, I could use the extra hands."

"Okay! I'm going to go change real quick and be right down!" Racing up the steps, she quickly went in her room and began to choose what to wear. She wasn't a skinny by far, but she wasn't big either. She wanted to look her best so she pulled on pants that showed she had curves and a green shirt that showed the brown in her green eyes. It was one of her favorite's, and it said 'It's cute how you think I'm listening to you.' She put her long, brown hair in a ponytail and petted Nickodemus before running back down the stairs to the kitchen.

They cooked for a long time and they had to open the windows to let the breeze in because it was so hot. Sam had to leave because something happened at work but he said he would be back in time for dinner. Emily taught her a lot of stuff and they had a lot of fun. Emily found out that Mary used to be on the Volleyball Varsity team but stopped playing because her 'step-dad' said girls can't play, and that sports were only for boys… But Emily told her that she shouldn't let him stop her from the game if that's what she loves doing. So Mary decided that she would try out for Volleyball again. Before they knew it, they had made enough food for a whole army!

The front door banged open and Mary could her people crowding in the other room. Her stomach was doing flips and she felt very nervous. Would they like her? Emily, noticing Mary's nervousness, said that the boys would love her. She also said that she was going to introduce her to the girls first. Two girls walked in with a little girl in front of them.

Renesmee was the first to introduce herself. She had beautiful, pale skin and long, curly brown hair. Her eyes were a pretty brown and she had the whitest teeth Mary had ever seen. Kim, who was standing behind Renesmee, shyly said hi. She had coppery skin and deep brown eyes, and long black hair that was in a braid. The last girl looked about five, and she had her black hair up in a cute little pony tail and she had a smile that made Mary melt. Her name was Claire.

Emily, who was watching the meeting at the stove smiled, Mary would get along well with the girls she thought. Claire walked up to Mary and grabbed her by the hand and smiled. "Can I call you Tibby?"

Mary gave her an affectionate smile. "Sure."

Claire lifted her arms up in the air and yelled at the top of her lungs. "Yah!" Everyone laughed.

Emily sighed happily. "Okay girls. It's time to take the food out." Everyone picked up plates of food and headed towards the door that leads out of the kitchen and into the dining room. Mary nervously played with the hem of her shirt as she picked up a big plate of food and followed everyone out. What she saw was not what she expected.

The table and living room were crowded with boys. How could everyone fit? And to top it all off, all of them had no shirts on! All the guys were strongly built, tall and had short-cropped hair just like Sam. They also had the same tatoo. She could feel the blood go to her cheeks. Great, now she probably looked like a bright, red tomato! It also didn't help that everyone turned around and looked at them.

Emily cleared her throat. "Okay boys. This is Mary and I want her to feel welcomed." Then her face hardened a little. "Do not give her a hard time." A chorus of yeses we heard throughout the room. Emily smiled and Mary had to laugh a little. It seems that Emily has some strength she thought. And the evening that changed her life forever began.

Okay, there it was. I hope you enjoyed it! Please Review! : )
