Chapter Two: Running

It was after school and everyone was sitting around their cars talking. The Cullens were alone. My brother, Rhett, and Ryan had gone to my house. My truck's back was down and I was sitting cross legged on it, drawing pictures of this boy I saw in my dreams. He had dark brown hair and red eyes. It creeped me out more than the Cullens did at times but it was familier and comforting for some reason. Something hit my knee and I looked up. Staring back at me was a boy and I smiled.

"Hey." I said smiling and getting down from the fold down on my truck. "What are you doing here?" he smirked.

"Skipped school. Besides I want you to meet my friends." he said.

"Jake not today. I have homework and.." he cut me off.

"Fifteen minutes. Please?" I sighed and nodded.

"Let's walk though, my truck is slow." I said and he nodded and we headed off.

"Aren't you a little to young to you know...drive?" he asked me.

"What people don't know won't hurt them."

"Wait I wanna say hi to Bella. You know her right?" he said.

"Nope I don't. I just know they're different, like me." I said. He smiled and grabbed my hand pulling me over. "Jake I dunno. I'm a freshman and I don't talk to any seniors." I said but he pulled me over none the less.

"Hi Bella, Cullens." said Jake. He said the Cullens last name rather forcefully. I stood half behind him looking at the Cullens.

"Hey Jake, Rosella." said Bella. I was speachless as to how she knew my name.

"Hi Bella and...Cullens." I said. "I would name you all but I don't know your names." I said and Jake smirked down at me.

"So what are you two up to." asked Bella. The Cullens were staring intently at me again.

"I'm going to introduce Ro to the Pack then I'm gonna teach her things to do with her truck."

"Whoa leave the truck alone dude." I said hitting Jacob on the arm and Bella smiled.

"She's like minnie Bella!" said one of the Cullen boys.

"But stronger." muttered Jacob and I laughed as he rubbed his arm.

"It's part of you know what." I said and he nodded.

"Rose here figured out my secret all by herself. Smart little midget." said Jake patting my head.

"Don't worry I dont know your secret." I said to the Cullens and all three of them immediatly tensed. "But I intend to find out."

"You find out and you'll be in danger." said the one next to Bella.

"I'm already in danger." I snapped back.

"Rosella!" I turned around and saw eight boys walking towards me.

"I gotta go. I'll meet them tomorrow Jake I'm sorry." I turned and ran to my brothers and my friends. "Hey guys."

"Mum wants us to get put of the house so we've come to annoy you." said Derek and I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry I'm busy." I said. "I'll tell you what to do, Dylan and Drake go out with your girlfriends, Roy and Derek those girls are eyeing you ask them out. Rhett, Remy, Ryan go to my truck. Now." I said and the boys did what I told them to. I turned around to face the Cullens and Jake who were watching me with amusement. "Jake come here!" I yelled and he ran to me.

"Yeah."

"We have two options. Meet your friends with my twin and his friends or we ditch them and meet your friends anyway." I said raising my eyebrow and he laughed.

"ditch 'em come on." he said and we ran into the woods without my brother, Rhett or Ryan seeing us. We soon came to La Push and then to a small house. Jake walked up and opened the door. "Anyone home?" he yelled and we walked into the kitchen where about six boys and one girl was gathered and a woman was in the kitchen.

"Hey Jake. You must be Rosella." said one of them. I nodded.

"Rose this is Embry, that's Quil and Seth, Paul and Brady than that's Sam the Alfa." said Jake. I laughed as Sam glared at Jacob.

"I'm Emily sweetie. Are you hungry?" asked the woman in the kitchen.

"Um no thank you I dont have to eat." Paul opened his mouth but I stopped him. "No I don't drink anything either." Brady hit Paul in the back of the head.

"So your a mind reader?" asked Seth.

"No my brother is." I said. Seth's mouth dropped open. "Hey Emily could you pass me some water?" she looked at Seth and smirked. Knowing what I was going to do. It was a common trick among girls. She tossed me a bottle and the guys except Seth (who was still staring at me with his mouth open) looked at us curiously. I looked at Seth. "Aww the little pups panting." I said and squirted the water into his mouth and his face. I also went all around the table at all the boys, including Sam and Jacob.

"Get her!" yelled Paul. All the boys jumped up but I was already out the door. They came after me almost reaching me but I ducked and jumped out of the way everytime they tried to grab me. I finally reached the beach. I jumped over a large log and stopped as I saw four kids ahead. I kept running.

My heart beating against my chest, my breathing strong, my pulse raced. I pushed against one of the boys and kept running. Finally one of the boys knocked me down. I looked up and saw Jacob.

"Hey what's up?" I asked him. He bent over breathing hard. I laughed and got up. The guys came over to us.

"Your wicked fast." said Seth through deep breaths. He spaced these out more unable to say them normally.

"I know." I said simply. "Shoot what time is it?"

"5:00." said Sam.

"I gotta go." I said.

"Hey meet us tomorrow. One of us will pick you up from school." said Brady.

"Okay. See ya!" I yelled and ran into the woods heading home.

I just realized that I always end with her going home. Thanks for reading!
