Chapter 1

Mom, dad and I walked up the stairs at the Cullen's house. Bella was getting ready upstairs with her bridesmaids and we were going to see her before she walked down the aisle. We knocked on the door. One of the bridesmaids came and opened the door. She was a pixie type of girl. We walked in and saw Bella. She was beautiful. Bella's hair was in a fancy do, and her makeup perfect. She smiled as soon as she saw us. We each hugged her and then mom and I left to go find our seats.

The wedding went without a hitch. Bella didn't fall. I'm suspecting dad had something to do with that. Then it transitioned smoothly to the reception. I saw my sister and her now husband and went to congratulate them. "Hey Bell. Congratulations." I said hugging my older sister. We were only about a year and a half apart but we were so very different. "Ash, I'm so glad that you came. This is my husband Edward." I turned to him and smiled. He looked confused about something. "Well I guess I get the pleasure of welcoming you to the family." I took his hand to shake it. Then something flashed in front of my eyes. An image of a crow quickly flashed and then was gone. I could also feel how cold his hand was. I shook his hand then let go. I looked at Bella and she looked concerned. "I'm going to go sit down." With that I turned around.

I found my way to my seat and looked over and saw a few people from the local Rez. They kind of stood out in this crowd as they were the only ones aside from me that had tans. Bella didn't have a lot of friends and Edwards friends and family were all insanely pale. The young guy that was sitting at the table smiled over at me. I smiled and turned away. Hope he didn't think I was starring. The dancing started after the speeches, and I took that moment to sneak away. I wasn't shy. I just didn't feel like dancing at the moment. But before I could get away the young guy that I had seen caught me. "Would you like to dance?" He asked with a smile. He was super tall. I was only 5'4" and he had almost a head on me. "Okay." I took his hand that he offered. Again I got a flash. This time a wolf. He lead me over to the dance floor and we danced. It was a slower song and I was surprised that he knew how to dance. It was fun. Until I noticed a blonde girl starring at us. "Is that your girlfriend or something?" I motioned towards her with my chin. He looked over and his eyes went wide. "No. I don't have a girlfriend. I don't even know who she is." He looked worried. I laughed at his frightened face.

We danced for a couple more songs. There were a few faster songs that you could just let loose to and we were laughing and just having fun. Finally I needed to stop and take a break. We walked over to the punch bowl and got something to drink then we walked away from the crowd. I needed some fresh air and he didn't want me by myself. "So. You're Bella's sister." I nodded. "Yep." We reached some steps and sat down. "You don't look that much younger than her. How old are you?" I smiled. "17, we're only about a year and a half apart." He looked like he just realized something. "I don't even know your name." I laughed. "Ashlynn. But my friends all call me Ash." He smiled. "I'm Seth." We shook hands and just sat in comfortable silence for a moment. "You don't really look like Bella. And you don't seem quite so clumsy." I chuckled. "I think I got all the coordination." We talked for a good 15 minutes and were laughing and just having fun. "You know you should come to La Push tomorrow. We're going to the beach." I smiled. "Sure. Bella might let me use her truck while she's on her honeymoon." Suddenly Seth stood up. "I've got to go. I'll see you later." He then ran off. What the hell was that?

We arrived back at Charlies and I went and got ready for bed. It was past midnight and I was exhausted. Mom was staying in a motel, but I had opted to stay with 'dad'. I wasn't allowed to call him Charlie to his face. I walked into the room I would be staying in. It was Bella's old room. My boxes were in the corner and I went over and grabbed some pj's for the night. I grabbed some clean sheets and made the bed before climbing in for the night. Seth had said that he would come over and get a ride with me so that he could give me directions to First Beach.

I was ready to go. I was wearing a two piece swimsuit under shorts and a tank top. It was probably one of the only days that it was nice out. Aside from yesterday at the wedding. They were lucky as it was an outdoor wedding. I grabbed my bag with a towel, slipped on my flip flops and headed downstairs. Just as I reached the door I heard a knock. I opened the door and Seth was there. "Hey." He smiled. "Hey. Ready to go." I nodded. As we were walking to the truck I looked around. "How'd you get here?" He shrugged. "I ran." I looked at him as though he were crazy. "That's not just a short little jog." He laughed. "We run everywhere. It's not a big deal." During the drive we talked, he apologized for leaving suddenly last night and then we arrived.

After turning the truck off I grabbed my bag and hopped out. We were walking over to the group that must have been Seth's friends. "Hey Seth. It's bout time you got a girl." One of the guys joked. He shoved the guy and looked at me nervously. "Guys this is Ash. Ash these are the guys. That's Paul, his girlfriend Rachel, Quil, Sam, his fiance Emily, her cousin Claire, Jared, his girlfriend Kim, Embry, my sister Leah, and over there is Jake." Jake was sitting a little ways away from the group. He didn't even look in my direction. I said 'hi' to everyone and then the guys ran off to play a game of football.

Jake's POV.

After nearly loosing control last night I ran for awhile to calm down. Then I went home and saw my dad. He was happy that I was home. Rachel was glad but showed it in a different way by smacking me up the side of the head and said that I was an idiot for making them worry about me. I got to sleep in my own bed after 2 months and slept fairly well.

The next morning some of the guys came over stating that I was going with them to the beach. After changing I ran with them there. We were there for about 20 minutes when I heard the familiar sound of the old orange truck coming into the parking area. I looked over and sure enough it was Bella's truck. But it wasn't her hopping out of the truck. Seth was coming out of the passenger side and a girl was hopping out of the drivers side. She had brown hair, like Bella. She was to far away to be able to see her eyes but she probably had the same chocolate brown eyes. But she was more tan than Bella's pale skin. Her body type was also different. Where as Bella had been thinner, this girl was athletic.

They walked over and Seth introduced her as 'Ash'. Then he proceeded to introduce all of us. The guys ran over to play some football and said they needed two more players. All the girls declined but 'Ash' decided to play. The guys called me over since I was still sitting on the sand. The guys all knew to take it easy on Ash. She and I were on different teams and Seth kept glancing at me. Probably to make sure that I wouldn't lose it.

I had caught an interception and was headed over to the opposite teams end zone and was suddenly tackled. They weren't as big as the guys but they were surprisingly strong. I looked up and saw that Ash was on top of me. Our faces were inches apart. Then I saw them. Her eyes.

Ashlynn's POV

The guys had needed two more players apparently for their teams. The girls all turned down to play but I decided to join in. The guy who had been sitting off to the side got up and walked over as well. I was on Seth's team and I knew I could easily be crushed by these guys who all had a head on me and probably at least 50 lbs. I had always been athletic so I figured that I might be able to hold my own. When the guys would 'tackle' me they would just grab me or gently pull me to the ground. But every single time a new guy touched me I would get a flash of a wolf. They were all so warm it was strange.

Part way through the game Embry threw a pass to Jared and Jake intercepted it. I was closest and I tackled him to the ground. I got that flash again. Once I realized that I was straddling him. My chest flush against his. I tried to get off of him. But once we made eye contact I froze. I couldn't move. Something about this guys was just so different from any other guy I had seen. I couldn't place it. But I was just so drawn to him. One of the guys cleared their throat and Jake and I both snapped out of it. I blushed and got off of him as quickly as I could. I saw Seth looking between us. The guys all had smirks on their faces. What the hell just happened?

He got up and brushed the sand off. Oh my God he's gorgeous. He's like a Greek god. "Sorry about that." He gave me a half smile. "Don't worry about it." We finished the game and my team lost by 2. As we were packing up to leave one of the girls. I think it was Emily, the one with the scars on her face, came up to me. "What was that back there?" I blushed again. "What was?" She grinned at me. "That thing with Jake. After you tackled him you guys just stared at each other. For like a good ten seconds." I turned to my bag. "I don't know. I just... I don't know." She smiled. "I think someone has a little bit of a crush." I turned to her. Shock written on my face. "The way that you glanced at him during the rest of the game. It's obvious you find him attractive. Don't try denying it." I looked around most of the guys were by the water and the girls were over there with their guys. "Please don't say anything." She did the whole zip across her lips. I think that we'll be good friends. They invited me over to Emily's after being at the beach most of the day. Dad had to work so I texted him telling him where I was going.
