Chapter One Moving In

Tara POV

Trees flew by in a mix of green and brown. The cloudless sky casting shadows on the car as I make my way to our new home. My family is gone. Only my little cousin Jason Reynolds and I are left. I look back behind me quickly to see if he was okay. I smile at the sight before me. Jason is laid across the back seat sound asleep. I turn back only to slam on the breaks. A boy about seventeen stood in the middle of the road. I got out and rushed over,"I'm so sorry! I didn't hit you did I? I was checking on something in my back seat and.."

"HEY WATCH WHAT THE HECK YOUR DOING!" A very tall and muscular woman screamed at me. They must be from the reservation. They, along with a few other boys, have copper toned skin, raven black or dark brown hair, and piercing dark eyes. The girl was wearing a tank top and some jean shorts and the boys all had on cut offs. Are they crazy? It's freezing!

I came back from la-la land when the girl got right in my face, still screaming,"YOU ALMOST HIT MY LITTLE BROTHER YOU COW! WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW TO DRIVE ANYWAY?"

I turned to check on Jason,"Please can you stop yelling. I don't want.."

"Does it look like I care what YOU want? Cause I really couldn't give a.." A cry stopped her before she could say anything else.

I growled at this woman. Who does she think she is yelling at me? Honestly! She is probably older than me but that doesn't mean she can baby me like in four! "Great! Thanks! Now look what you did! Now he will be cranky all day!"

Everyone seemed to freeze when I pulled Jason out from the back seat. He's almost two but he looks to be about two and a half. Hes got sugar brown skin only two shades lighter than mine, bright green eyes, and raven black straight hair. He wrapped his arms around my neck and laid his head against my shoulder. Becoming shy around strangers.

The oldest looking man stepped forward,"I'm sorry. Leah doesn't know how to hold her temper sometimes. I'm Sam Uley. Do you need any help?"

"Well I just bought a house down the road. I turned to check on Jason and when I turn back I had almost hit..um.." I looked over at the boy who smiled.

He held out his hand,"Seth Clearwater. Sorry about my sister."

"Oh. Hi Seth. I'm Tara. It's okay. I'm really sorry I almost hit you. I wasn't looking or thinking really. It's been a long trip." I shook his hand, then turned to Sam. "Well again, sorry. I better be going. It was nice meting you all. Seth I insist on you coming over and having dinner one day as an apology."

"That would be great! Can I bring some friends?"His smile is contagious! Because I found myself smiling at this boys warm attitude."Sure thing! As many as you want. Just let me know."

I put away Jason and gave Seth my home number. Saying good-bye I head too the house.

Everything is finally unpacked! It took about two hours, but it's finally done! Jason seems to like the larger house compared to the small apartment we use to live in. It's a two story ranch house. Three bed rooms, three baths, dinning room, kitchen, and a living room. I had left the down stairs bedroom for another use. Jason and I have our bed rooms upstairs along with two bathrooms and two hall closets. Down stairs is one closet, a bedroom, kitchen, the dining room, and the living room. It wasn't grand, but homey. The ringing of the phone broke the relaxing silence. "Hello?"

"Hi. Is this Tara?"

Who in the world?"Yes it is."

"Okay. It's Seth Clearwater."

I smile,"Oh well hey Seth. So how many?"

"Well um...eleven tops. Is that alright?"

Something was making a gosh awful noise on his end of the line,"Sure Seth. As many as you like. Be here tomorrow at five?"

"Sounds great! See you then. Bye Tara."

I hung up with Seth and went to bed. All that moving wore me out. I changed into a pair of shorts and a baggy tee-shirt. Before crawling to bed I scooped up Jason, tucking us both under my bright blue comforter. As soon as I got comfortable, I was fast asleep.

Paul POV

"NO I WILL NOT GO!" Leah and Sam are having a screaming match. Again. He never uses his alpha voice on her unless he absolutely has to. If I was alpha I would have used it a long time ago. Leah did make a good point though. I didn't really want to go to some chicks house anyway. She just got here and she almost ran over Seth. Not like it would have hurt him much with the fast healing and stuff. But still we should just take her apology and not mess with her again.

"Leah you will go and you will be civil. She lives here now which means she is to be respected by us as the.."Sam was explaining to Leah about being kind to the people. As the 'protectors' of La Push apparently we had to set a good example.

Seth waltzed into the room by now. He had been on the phone with the chick."She said tomorrow at five Sam. Paul don't be a jerk to her OR the kid."

This stopped me,"Kid? You didn't mention that earlier."

The kid shrugged,"Slipped my mind. Dad must be dead or something. It was just her and him."

Jacob, Quil, and Embry had already said they would go with Seth and keep a watch on him. Emily and Sam are going to a doctors appointment. Jared and his imprint/girlfriend Kim are going on a date."Why do I have to go again?"

Sam growled,"Because I said so. Leah, Paul, you two will go tomorrow and not cause ANY trouble. That's an order."

We all hung around for awhile. When I went on patrol I swung by my place to tuck in my little sister,which Sam doesn't know I do. My mom had left the other week and its just me and Haley. I have been missing patrol's or leaving for a bit and coming back to take care of her. No one knows and I want to keep it that way. We don't need anyone's pity.

Ugh I wish Sam had let me stay home! Leah started bad mouthing the girl sense I met up with them at the Clearwater house, which just happens to be two doors down from the new girls place.

"..And another thing.." Before Leah could finish her sentence, Jacob spoke up, "Would you just shut up already! I hear enough from you when we are patrolling!"

Like you have room to talk Black all you ever talk about is the stupid leech-lover.

Seth turned right before knocking on the door,"Leah you don't want to get in trouble with Sam. If you can't be nice...go home."

Seth raised his fist to knock on the door right when it was opened by a kid about three years old. The kid smiled and walked, well more like waddled, towards the TV. Seth poked his head in, "Tara, okay if we come in?"

"Sure Seth! Make yourself at home. Steak okay for dinner?" A voice drifted from what I guess would be the kitchen. We all piled in and sat around the room. Leah sat closest to the door, scowling, with her arms crossed. I flopped down on the couch and took a good look around. Place was really clean. Whatever she was cooking smelled great. A girl no older than sixteen trotted into the room. She's wearing some 'come-get-me' hip hugging jeans, with a blue tank top. Her hair is straight and out of her face. I look at her face, noticing her eyes and BAM! SERIOUSLY!
