Disclaimer: Characters are based on Stephenine Meyer's Twilight Series All Character's belong to her. Except for Lacey, I made her up based on the werewolves in the series.
I like to make new characters to keep it interesting. Anyone who you dont remember from the original Twilight Series is most likely one i made up for my own enjoyment.
As Lacey stepped outside, the summer chill brushed her legs and kicked up the leaves.
"The woods look serene today." Her father came to the door to their sylvan house. His russet skin was lighter in the morning and his hair was still tied back. "Jogging so early?" he asked as she slid off her shoes.
"Just surveillance," he nodded as she ran off into the woods.
"BECAREFUL LACEY!" He yelled as she phased mid-stride.
Her father's people had an ancient tale of warriors who protect the tribe from the cold ones, modern day vampires. The warriors were able to transform into wolves but only the descendants from the old tribe leader could have those traits.
When Lacey was about fifteen, she learned that these little bedtime tales her father told her as a child were true. There was a need for the warriors again and she became one of them. They weren't seen since her grandfather's time.
A few days after a tall Native American man came from her father's tribe requesting that she would go back. Her father refused to let her go since her existence was shunned upon because Lacey's father married a white woman instead of an important tribal leader's daughter. "My daughter will not join that tribe even if I have to die to stop her."
Ever since then, she hasn't heard or saw a werewolf. She only phased to hunt and do surveillance in the early morning.
As she ran through the woods on that one particular morning, a new scent came across her senses and visions of her house came across her mind.
Lacey usually suppressed the visions and thoughts so the others couldn't locate her. She ran home fast and sprang through her window.
"FATHER, Where are you?" She ran around the house after tossing on her robe. He poked his head out of the kitchen arch way and smiled, "Want some eggs?"
"No dad. There is another wolf. What do I do?" He put down the frying pan, looked out the front window and saw the russet wolf.
"Go out there, as a wolf, and get him to leave." Lacey went back into her room slipping off the robe and changed once more.
She crept around the back and met with the giant wolf face to face. Lacey was much smaller than the other wolf. He had brown fur with dark brown eyes. She was black with crystal blue eyes, like her mother.
Get out, Lacey said to him as she snarled.
No, I mean no harm, he insisted
This is my territory; her teeth were bared as she kept moving forward soon backing him back into the woods.
What if I phase back, then will you trust me? He sat with a gentle gleam in his eyes.
Fine. Wait here, I'll bring you clothes, She grunted turning back to the house.
Lacey came back out in her shorts and tee shirt. She tossed him a pair of her cousin's shorts. "Take these, they should fit you." He trotted behind a tree and phased back.
A beautiful russet man walked out from behind the tree. The sun shimmered as it hit his perfectly sculpted body and his hair was kicked up in the breeze.
She approached him slowly. With a grin donned on his face he spoke, "I'm Jacob, now do you trust me?" She nodded unable to speak.
"May I ask who you are?" he stepped closer and she blurted out, "You wanna come inside for some pretzels and hot cocoa mix?" He cocked his eyebrow and then laughed, "Sure, but your name?"
She blushed saying her name softly as he touched her shoulder, "Lacey."
They went inside and her father left them alone to go do some painting in his studio. Jacob sat down and watched her fumble to get stuff out. "You remind me of someone." Lacey turned around and snarled at him.
She finally got what she needed. "Do you want hot cocoa or is the mix okay?" He laughed and shook his head, "The mix is just fine."
She sat down and handed him a packet. "If you don't mind me asking, how does one eat a packet of cocoa mix?"
Lacey ripped open the packet. "Watch me. The first thing you do is this." She licked the tip of her pointer finger, "Not too much, you're not a dog." Then she dipped her finger coating it in chocolate powder and licked it off. "It's easy. You try." He laughed and had some. Then we started talking.
Jacob asked Lacey about her life in the woods away from the outside world. "It's pretty cool. I hear weird people out here sometimes." He asked why her father left the reservation.
"He fell in love with a girl who wasn't apart of the tribe, well any tribe for that matter. My mother was white and well, my father was supposed to marry some important guy's daughter. He left in the middle of the night and lived with my mother. We moved here after I was born. When I was ten, my mother died of cancer." He lowered his head and she patted him on the shoulder, "Its okay, she's happy now."
"Why'd you leave?" Lacey asked Jacob and he looked up at her. Then looked back down. "A girl." He said it low "She is getting married, soon."
"When is soon?"
"What is today?"
"August 10th."
"Three days."
"Are you going to go?"
"If pigs fly."
"Ha ha. Seriously, why not go? They invited you."
"I love her, that's why. Why am I going to go to a wedding and watch the girl, I wish I could have, get married to a bloodsucking leech?"
"Erg, to get closure perhaps or maybe to finally get the hint that she is a blood sucker lover. You need to move on. You're young anyway."
"I'll go. If you go back to the reservation."
"Oh that is not fair! You know why I can't go there."
"Then you see why I won't and can't go to the wedding."
"FINE! I'll go."
He devilishly grinned licking his finger and started to eat his cocoa mix. Her father came in to grab some water and Lacey asked him if she was allowed to go to the wedding.
"No." He said sternly, "The reservation isn't the best place for you to be."
"But dad!"
"But nothing Lacey. They do not like me, and you are my daughter so they will not like you either. I made very important people angry."
"But I am not you."
"You are the product of the 'mistake' they think I made." He left and glared at Jacob. She looked at Jacob and he still had a devious look to him.
"What are you planning?" He looked at her and shook his head. "Lacey, ever hear of 'imprinting'?" He looked at her dumbfounded expression and scooted his chair closer to hers. "I'm guessing you haven't," He touched her hand and captured her gaze, "It is when a werewolf found his 'soul mate'. It's hard to believe in if you never felt it but it happened to Sam with Emily.
"I thought that it happened to Bella and me but I was wrong because she is marrying Edward. Lacey," his stare intensified, "I know it seems weird and impulsive but," he paused, "in some strange way, I feel like I have known you forever. Like our meeting was meant to be."
She began to laugh. "You're telling me that you think we are imprinted to each other?" He nodded. "Jacob Black, you've lost you mind. I barely know you. You barely know me! I am just some half Native American werewolf you met because you were crossing my territory."
He leaned in closer. She could feel his hot breathe touching the nape of her neck. He touched his lips to her neck, "Lacey, this isn't some foolish attempt to make you come with me. I won't go without you." My father walked in after hearing what Jacob had said.
"Lacey just go. Be careful and do not get in trouble" He tossed her a backpack he made with a black wolf on it. "It should fit you when you phase too. I made the straps elastic."
After Lacey gathered some things they left. They spent most of the three days running. They stopped to sleep once for a brief two hours. Jacob curled around her keeping her safe. Even though, She has been a werewolf longer than he has. His thoughts were clear but when they got close to La Push, Lacey heard the pack.
They were surrounded by six very large wolves, Jacob made them back off but there was one who wouldn't, Leah. Who is that?! Her thoughts were fixated on who Lacey was. Is that Lacey? Sam knew who she was, since he was the one who tried to get her father to let her join the La Push Pack.
Jacob stepped up to Leah and snarled at her. They started to argue about Lacey. Leah was the only girl and she wanted it to be that way. Jacob tried to explain to her but she wasn't one for old traditions. Especially one that caused her to lose the man she thought was hers forever.
She comes that is final, Sam's controlling voice echoed through all his or her thoughts and everyone stopped arguing. Sam stepped closer to her and sniffed her a little. She is one of us. Deal with it.
Sam ran towards the reservation and everyone followed. Jacob reassured her that she was going to be welcomed.
When they got to Sam's place his fiancée, Emily, gve her some clothes and then she made her try on a bunch of different dresses. "You look amazing in the blue one!" She dragged her out of the room and made her spin in front of everyone. They all had the same grin on. "What? Do I look weird?" They all began to laugh.
"We started to lose hope. We thought all the werewolf chicks were gunna look like men." As Seth said that Leah threw a pillow at his head. Jacob got dressed quickly and Sam tossed him a set of keys, "Drive safely."
They arrived at the reception a little late but nothing too obvious. Walking through the reception an older man stopped Jacob. "Didn't expect to see you here!" The older man had a huge grin on his face then he looked over at Lacey, "And who is this lovely young lady?"
"This," He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "is my girlfriend, Lacey." She grinned offering a hand to the older man. "This is Bella's father, Charlie." Jacob continued the introduction.
"It's good to see you with someone Jacob. Where have you been? Your father said you went on a vacation. How was it?"
"It was fun. I had a month to myself. I met Lacey during a hike in the woods. When she told me it was almost the 13th I came back for the wedding."
Bella's sweet voice rang out from the other side of the room, "Is that you Jacob Black?!" She came barreling down towards them in her beautiful white dress almost knocking over everyone in her way.
Her lively cheeks made Lacey almost hate herself for hating Bella. The radiant natural beauty, which she cast among mere mortals, was spectacular. No wonder Jacob was instantly smitten every time he saw her.
Her arms slide around his neck and he lifted her up with a hug, "Bella, you look amazing." As the words rolled off his tongue a gorgeous man was next to Lacey with his hand on her shoulder.
"Makes you wonder doesn't it?" I looked at the man with confusion. "Oh I am Edward, you are?" She blinked slowly. Who was this man?
He cleared his throat, "Jacob," and bowed his head. Jacob put Bella down and shook Edward's hand, "Edward."
Bella glared at her, "Who is this beautiful creature in blue?" Her words seemed to be envious but Jacob's hand slid around Lacey's waist and pulled her closer glancing at Edward and not Bella. Edward's lips curled into a smile and Bella looked at the two with deep confusion, "That's not fair! What don't I know?"
Jacob and Edward started to laugh and the same confusion that struck Bella, struck Lacey. "Honey, this is Jacob's girlfriend," Bella's eyes widened hearing that, "Lacey." I offered my hand and she lightly shook it.
Edward took my hand, "May I have this dance?" A slow song started and she nervously took his hand looking at Jacob seeing if it was okay. A shiver went up her spine with the touch of Edward's hand on her side.
"I love this song." Lacey was trying to make small talk.
"It is okay."
"I wonder why he ever gave up?"
"On?"
"Her. Look at her. She is just gorgeous. You are lucky."
"Lacey, I know you know about Jacob. What I want to know is whether or not you are?"
"You… you're the lee- vampire?" She whispered putting the pieces of the puzzle together. The dance floor filled and She listened to the lyrics of the song playing.
Why does it always rain on me? Is it because I lied when I was seventeen? Why does it always rain on me? Even when the sun is shining I can't avoid the lightning. I can't stand myself. I'm being held up by invisible men, still life on a shelf when I got my mind on something else
Sunny days, Where have you gone? I get the strangest feeling you belong. Why does it always rain on me?
Edward spun her around and she redirectedherattention to Jacob and Bella, who seemed to be fighting. "Wonder what they are talking about." Lacey muttered and Edward pulled her in closer, "Nothing, just you."
"Funny."
"I'm just being honest."
"I hate my life." She huffed then Edward laughed.
"Try living for almost 100 years. When you do, complain."
His attempted humor made her smile. It was true but she couldn't help but wonder why things happened the way they do. Her parents, her mother's death, the tribal curse, and all of the things unfolding before her eyes just seemed to never make sense. It seemed that some higher power was against her.
What if Bella realized that she wanted to live and be with Jacob? Would Jacob just let her back into his life? As her thoughts trailed off a cold hand touched her arm, "Sorry Madame." A tall man apologized.
Lacey couldn't help but look once more at Jacob and Bella, What were they fighting about? As Lacey got closer she heard. "Why did you bring her here? To make me jealous? Jacob Black you are wrong I wouldn't be jealous of …" Bella stopped as Lacey's purse dropped to the floor and she ran for the door
Lacey bolted for out and ran towards the woods. Her father was right. She had to go home. She went 100 yards into the forest and was surrounded by vampires. Still a human and in Emily's party dress, she didn't want any problems.
"Looks like we found a lost puppy."
"I don't want any problems."
"Ah, sure you don't." A little girl stepped forward and pain surged through Lacey's entire body. She heard faint words as She fell to the ground. Fragile hands lifted her head and muffled words came from above her head.
Next thing she remembered was sitting in a dark room with a blanket draped around her shoulders. Edward explained that she was attacked but she really wasn't concerned with herself.
"Jacob? Where is Jacob?" She looked around franticly. Soon a russet wolf stepped forward and nudged her leg.
"How did they know about me?" Her question was directed to Edward. He looked around and looked back at her.
"They don't," he pointed to everyone else, "but Aro did and told his 'people'." Bella was next to her and there were a few more people in the room.
A young looking blonde man came to check her side. There was a large cut in the dress and a pinkish mark on her side. "Wow. I haven't seen healing like that since Jacob." He said looking at Jacob then back at her.
Everyone was looking at Edward then back at her. "What?" They still looked oddly at them. She was confused how Edward was involved in her curse.
"Lacey," A small woman with short black hair sat next to her, "I'm Alice. I'm a vampire. See, I saw the Volturi come, go to the woods and then Bella, Edward and I went out in the woods with them. You weren't there."
"I was there. They can tell you that I was!"
"I mean… I have visions Lacey. I saw this happen before hand, but you weren't in it. I saw it during the party, about five minutes before it happened."
She was officially unconscious in the woods because things like werewolves and vampires she could deal with. When they put in vision seeing vampires and all that weird stuff, she just don't fall for it. It had to be some weird delusion.
"She sounds like you." Edward laughed looking at Bella. She didn't like the remark and snarled at him. Lacey was confused because she didn't say anything about being a werewolf. "Lacey, I can read thoughts." Lacey began to laugh and she tried to stand up. Her efforts were ineffective. "Perhaps if you tell them what you are, it will be easier to explain." His golden eyes looked at her seeing through all the defenses she kept up to protect herself against people knowing of the curse.
"I'm not allowed to tell. It's sort of the rules, ya know?" Bella let out a gasp.
She looked at Jacob and pointed at him. "When you change back, you have some explaining to do." He hung his head low and grabbed the pair of torn pants on the side of the leather couch. He trotted out of the door and returned within a minute.
"Lacey, they know about me, and the rest of the pack. You're allowed to tell them." He sat next to her, pulling her closer to his muscular warm bare body.
"I.. I am a werewolf." Words rushed out of her mouth and silent whispers filled the room. Most of the night they talked amongst themselves.
Lacey and Jacob left together and headed back to the reservation. In the morning Lacey was formally introduced to everyone, even Bill Black, Jacob's father. "Well, we need to get you somewhere to live."
They went out to the cliffs and did some cliff diving. Lacey was a little nervous but Jacob took her hand and jumped with her. They climbed back to the top and saw Bella standing there.
"Lacey, can I talk to you?" She glared at Jacob, "alone." Lacey agreed and they walked toward the woods. "I would like to apologize." Lacey looked at her with a cocked brow, "For what I said before you ran off. Jacob and I have a weird relationship. Please treat him well. I've chosen who I want to be with. He's all yours." She walked to a shiny Volvo that was parked a few yards away. Inside Lacey saw the driver, Edward.
"What was that about?" Jacob asked Lacey as she came back to the pack. She just smiled and ran off the cliff.
Later that night, sitting at the Black House, Emily came in with a wide grin on her face. "You'll be staying with me until we get you a place of your own."
Lacey hugged Emily, "Thank you. I never thought I would be treated so nicely." They all laughed at her and headed to the door. "Thank you Mr. Black." Lacey said waving good-bye.
They settled her in and everyone left except for Jacob. "When you are up to it, do you want to take a day trip through the woods, get some hunting done?" Lacey nodded and kissed him good night.
A few weeks later, they headed out to the woods. "We can go hunting here. Be careful."
The wind whipped around and they split off. Lacey smelt her way towards a large mountainside. She heard soft feet moving. She ducked down and crept towards the moving animal.
Before she could run a large man lunged out at her. It was Emmett Hale, a vampire from Edward's coven. Jacob came sprinting through the woods lurching himself at Emmett. He dropped Lacey and ripped Jacob off of him.
Edward's fierce face came into Lacey's view and she ran.
