"Cammie?…Cammie? Cam? CAMERMON!!" My pain in the ass older brother Hunter was poking me trying to get my attention. I remainded silent. "Not talking doesn't mean we're moving back!" he pointed out. Damn him and his logic! I used to live in La Push, when I was like four and the only thing I really remembered was there was this kid that put rocks in his snowballs. Needless to say I was thrilled to be back.
"Fine be a total child!" Hunter said turning his eyes back to the road. I punched him in the shoulder. Not that it did much, he was 6'5 and all muscele."Pouting won't help."
"Wanna bet?" I muttered Hunter put a hand over his heart and gasped.
"She can speak!" I forced his hand back to the wheel.
"Seriously we are going to wreck!" He shrugged. It was either him or my twenty year old sister Tanya who considered speed limits 'suggestions'. I wasn't allowed to drive because both siblings had senoirity over me.
"Why are we going to a bonfire anyway?" I asked. We were only half Quileute, my dad was a hundred percent native amercian and wanted to reconnect with his roots I guess, but why were we getting inducted into the tribe?
"Cause Dad said he wants us to meet everybody plus it'll be fun." Hunter said. "Better then bonfires in Seattle." We didn't even have bonfires in Seattle so even if this was the worst bonfire in the history of the universe that'd be true.
"Look go for an hour and if you still want to shoot yourself in the head after that, I'll take you home. Deal?" I sighed it was pretty fair. I nodded. "Back to the silent treatment huh? Well it doesn't matter we're here!" He said a bit to cheerfully for my taste. We both hopped out of the car. I saw my sister's Mazda parked near by.
"Didn't Tanya leave after us?" I asked Hunter running to catch up with his long strides. He nodded. I shuddered, she had to have been going 110 mph. "Where are you going?" He was walking towards a group of boys.
"That kid helped us move." H e pointed to one but you couldn't really see with out the firelight.
"Just because you're eighteen now doesn't mean you can call everyone kid!" I pointed out annoyed. He smirked.
"I wouldn't expect a child like you to understand." I scowled and began to go in the opposite direction.
"were are you going?" He asked
"Away from you!" I called back. I walked away until I ran into Tayna. Or she ran into me.
"Cammie! Have you meet anybody you like yet?" She was worst then my brother, except she WANTED me to get a boyfriend.
"Considereing I've been here a grand total of ten seconds NO!" She rolled her eyes. Or at least I though she did. It got really dark here fast.
"Wait, didn't I leave after you?"
"Yes." There was silence and I could tell she was thinking.
"Maybe I should reevaluate my driving philosophy…"
"Ya think? You were probably going over a-whoooa!" I was about to finish my sentence when a football hit me in the back of the head. "oouch!" I groaned.
"WHO EVER THREW THAT IS DEAD!" Tanya called in the general direction it came in. A super tall girl walked up to us.
"It's just those idiots again. They didn't mean anything by it. I'm Leah." She said mainly to Tanya. Tanya glanced at me giving me the typical 'let your big lesbian sister flirt by herself' look.
"Well, I better return this to the idiots then. Nice meeting you, I'm Cammie by the way." She gave me a small, yet forced, smile. I walked away but my way was blocked by a colassial boy.
"Sorry! I'm the idiot that threw the football." He said with a bit of a laugh. I smiled.
"Well lucky for you, my sister has decided to spare your life." He laughed again. "I'm Cammie Greenwood."
"Jake Black, hey wait I remember you!" He did? I had no idea who he was. "Well played T-ball together when we were like four!" I sort of had a faint memory of that.
"Cool." I said not knowing what to say. He motioned for me to follow.
"Considering you're technically new I'll introduce you to my friends." How kind of him I thought bitterly. I was so NOT in the mood for hormonal ….giant….ripped….boys. My thoughts changed a bit as we approached his friends. They were all freaking giants!
"Hey Jake, didja find the ball?" One asked. He noticed me. "Who's the chick?" Now I'm not a super feminist of anything but I don't like being refered to as chick.
"I'm Cammie Greenwood." I said with a bit of hostilitiy in my voice that he obviously detected.
"I'm Quil Atrea. How you doin?"He said making everyone laugh. It made me blush of course, I'm embarrassed rather easily. I muttered a hello. He studied me closer, something which made me pretty uncomfortable.
"Do I have something on my face?" I asked making him snapped his gaze away from me.
"Nope, but you look kind of familiar. Wait, did you say Greenwood?"
"ADD much Quil?" A smaller giant asked.
"Look something shiny!" I said pointing behind him. He spun around and pouted when the only thing back there was a boy coming towards them. Everyone was laughing at that point.
"I'm Seth Clearwater, I believe your Dad's hanging out with my mom tonight." The runt of the litter (standing at a mere ten feet) said sticking out his hand. I reached out to shake but pulled back as soon as we made contact. His hand felt like it had been in the fire for about an hour!
"Whoa! Do you have a fever of something?" I asked. Jake was giving Seth a hard look.
"Um, no I just have unnaturally warm hands." He said laughing nervously. I didn't really believe him, but I didn't pry any more. The boy that had been walking towads us finally entered our little ring.
"Hey guys how's it-" He stopped talking the moment his eyes fell on me. He gave me this weird stare, it made me feel very uncomfortable. He began to shake.
"Embry!" Seht said grabbing him holding him steady.
"Oh my god! Is he having a seizure? Should we call a doctor?" I freaked.
"NO!" Jake said harshly. I was taken aback. "No, I mean he's…you….his…" But I wasn't staying around for him to finish. I took off towards Hunter's car. A few seconds later I heard someone call:
"WAIT! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!" but I didn't feel like waiting. I wanted out of this crazy town with overheated giants and boys that have seizures. I began to open the car door, I heard somebody running close behind me.
"Wait! Please! Just wait!" I jumped in and speed out of there.
-
"Yeah, Dad I'm fine I just had a little freak out and left is all…yeah but Hunter can ride with Tanya…I don't want to lose him either but come on!….I know I'll apologise at dinner with the Clearwaters…love you to bye." I hung up my phone and laid down on my bed. It was really weird. It was my room, but it wasn't my room. I heard something at the front door. My dad probably locked himself out. I went down not really caring that I had on a pair of old sweatpants and tank top. I opened the door and found none other then Jake.
"Heya Cammie." He said with a grin.
"Hi Jake." I said awkwardly. I had just run away from his friends, why was he so damn happy?
"I guess we kind of freaked you out back there huh?"
"Yeah. I kind of wanted to go anyway. Social gatherings aren't really my thing."
"Well would you mind coming back?" He asked nervously. I stared at him for a good ten seconds.
"Not really…"
"please? It's kind of important…" He asked again this time even more panicky. Ok what was his problem?
"Um…"
"Great!" He grabbed my wrist and pulled me outside and plopped me on his motorcycle.
"Oh hell no! I'm not riding on a-" He shoved a helmet on me.
"Hold on tight!" He said before zooming off. I clung to him with all my life. When we finally skidded to a stop at the beach I had a hard time letting go
"Uh Cammie…"
"I'm not flirting I'm just getting over seeing my life flash before my eyes."
"Not a speed girl huh?" I shakily shook my head no. I slowly let go of Jake and swung my legs around to try and touch the ground. As soon as I stood up my vision began to swim I tried to re-balance my self.
"Oh shit." A boy said and that's all can remembe before I blacked out.
-
When I came back to life I heard three vocie, all yelling.
"WHAT THE HELL JAKE!!"
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT!"
"SHIT!SHIT!SHIT!"
I let out a little groan and covered my ears. Almost instantaneously everything got quiet. A large ,warm, boy appeared right next to me. Because of my current position I was slightly brain dead so all I could manage to say was:
"Did I pass out?" He gave me a smile and nodded. My powers of observation made me realize I was currently in his arms. I felt my cheeks turning red.
"um…" I didn't really know what to do. Half of me wanted to spring up and run like hell, the other half was some what content here. "Who are you?" He smiled even more as I met his eyes. I got a funny, butterfly feeling.
"I'm Embry." He said softly. I suddenly felt rather shy. Although Embry hadn't seem to notice(the only thing he did notice was me) but everyone there was staring at us.
"Um," I felt very dumb using that word so much. I have so many better words at my disposal. "I'm Cammie." He just kept looking at me, with this stare of total adoration. It gave me the butterfly feeling again. I situated my self so I was no longer in Embry's grasp. He looked at me so pleadingly and sadly I almost felt bad.
"Ok, why the hell am I here?" I asked trying to ignore Embry's constant stares. A boy that lookedlike he was in charge turned to Embry.
"Tell her. Might as well get it out of the way now." Embry furrowed his brow. He was thinking really hard about whatever it was he was going to say.
"Cammie," He seemed to enjoy saying my name. "Do you remember any of those old Quileute legends?"
Finally done! I've been thinking about doing a SethOC PaulOC or EmbryOC fic for awhile now and I finally did! And I'm very sorry about any spelling mistakes, my computers spell check is busted. Review please!
