Chapter II
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, it belongs to Stephenie Meyer
*shrugs* I won't be surprised if at least one of my friends kills me if he finds out about this fic XD
I woke up the next morning a little bit vague on where I was. The bed I was laying on didn't feel like mine, and I knew I wasn't at the Cullen's place. No this place smelled like a warm home on a cold winter night, kinda homey, not like the Cullens' home.
I felt something move at the end of the bed and nearly jumped in surprise. A sandy colored wolf sat up and opened it's mouth, letting it's tongue hang to the side in a doggie grin.
I laughed. "Morning to you too Seth." I pet him behind the ears before he jumped off the bed and ran out the door.
A few minutes later he returned, in human form (wearing clothes, people!) carying a small pile of clothes.
"Here, they don't fit Leah anymore so mom said you can have them." He said handing me the pile and turning to leave the room. "Oh and when you're done breakfast is ready." He smiled and shut the door behind him
I really didn't like to be such a bother, but I was glad that the Clearwater's didn't mind my stay. I changed into the clean set of clothes and switched everything in my pockets over, before eating breakfast with Seth and his family.
"You still have a lot of explaining to do." He told me later as we were walking through the nearby forest."That and you're eyes are a different color this morning."
I looked at him quizzically. "They what?"
"They're brown with a slight reddish tint, it's hardly noticeable. But now you have more to explain." He smirked victoriously.
He was right, I did have a lot to explain. We sat down in a clearing and I began to explain everything from waking up in the Cullen's house to my lies to Carlisle and then tried to explain the Twilight books and Evi's joy in sending me to weird places.
He seemed to understand, more or less, and I was happy that he took it all in so well.
"So what's with the red eyes?" He asked, changing the subject, once I was done with my basic explanations.
"Oh right, I was bitten by a vampire a while back." Seth's expression became worried.
"Did someone suck the venom out?!" He asked.
"No. Actually all my blood was taken and I was turned,but when I left all the vampire feelings and such left with it... except the red eyes. But they seem to be going away now." I smiled and he calmed down a little.
After only a few seconds of quiet Seth seemed to perk up.
"The pack is here!" He said practically jumping up to greet who ever was coming.
Three huge Quileute boys stepped into the clearing before Seth intercepted them. He talked with them a brief moment before turning back to me.
"This is Blaze." He introduced. "Blaze, this is Quill, Embry, and Jacob. She's the one who crossed the boundary last night." They all came to realization at the same time.
Jacob walked over to me. "You reek of vampire, no wonder you set us all on guard." He said. "Where have you been hanging out?"
I shrugged "Sorry about that, I was at the Cullens for a while and..."
"That makes two leach lovers." Jacob mumbled under his breath, cutting me off mid-sentence.
Ah, so they must still hate each-other. I thought quietly to myself.
"Do you live around here?" Embry asked, dragging me from my thoughts. I shook my head and was about to explain when Seth spoke.
"No, her friend sort of dumped her here indefinitely." He said. The three wolves standing before me exchanged a look of shock.
"Like what?" Jacob said in a mix between curiosity and slight anger. "She drugged you and left you on the side of the road?" His hands were shaking slightly. I didn't blame him, if I were in his position I would have done the same.
"Not quite." I said... though more or less that was exactly what she did, besides the drug thing. "She did leave me cash, a cell, and my MP3."
I pulled out the said items. Quill picked up my wallet and looked inside.
"It looks like enough for a month, you could probably buy a plane ticket home or call someone." He said. I shook my head again.
"It doesn't quite work like that you see..." I had to think of something quick. "I'm an orphan." I said quickly without even thinking.
They looked at me, shock crossing their faces again.
"What about your friend? You can stay at her house right?" Embry asked. I shook my head again.
"She's an orphan too... and we live in an orphanage about two states over." I pointed east. (I figured it was better to point away from the ocean)
"How did she get you way over here then?" Jacob asked. I shrugged.
"You'd be surprised what Evi gets away with when she puts her mind to it. She even shipped me off to England once." Boy was that true. "All of us at the orphanage think she'll take over the world someday." I laughed.
Everyone stared at me shocked except for Seth who seemed to enjoy my impromptu story.
"Gee." Jacob said breaking the silence. "Maybe one of us should adopt you. You'd be safer at least." He laughed.
I smiled, that was nice thought, being away from Evi for the rest of my natural life. I shook the thought from my head quickly.
"Being as I'll be here a while," I said standing up and brushing off the borrowed jeans I was in. "no one minds if I roam around for a while and get a feel of the place right?" I looked at their faces and hoped that they would let me explore a while and think of what I was going to do next.
They all exchanged glances before giving me a "yes." That worked for me, it was still school hours for the rest of the population so I figured I would be safe.
"Don't get lost!" Seth said teasingly. I shrugged.
"I'll try not to." I said wandering out of the clearing and away from La Push.
I walked around rather aimlessly. I came across a bunch of buildings close together... was that the high school? I looked over the gate into the parking lot and was nearly blinded by a very shiny car.
I hissed, trying to shield my eyes. "Stupid shiny Volvo owners!" I rubbed my eye hoping to get my vision back. He was at school, that was good. I pulled out my cellphone and checked the time. 3pm... I clenched my teeth. I better get lost fast.
'Walk, don't run. Running attracts immortals' attention.' I did what my brain said. I didn't understand my brain anymore, but that was okay, it seemed to know some things I didn't. I started walking along a path in the nearby woods. I heard a car door open in the distance but didn't think much of it.
As I walked along I came across a tree with some low reachable branches. I grabbed the one easiest to reach and walked up the trunk until I could get my leg around a slightly higher branch. I pulled myself up and climbed a little bit higher.
I sat on a thick sturdy branch about ten or fifteen feet in the air and turned on my MP3. I hadn't even gotten through the whole first song before...
'shh! Turn that off!' My brain hissed at me
"what do you mean turn-" I was cut off
'NOW!' I turned off my MP3, who was I to argue with my brain, even if I didn't understand it.
What was that about? I demanded.
'SHH! I'm thinking'
About wha-
I saw some movement near the entrance to the forest. I crouched on the branch and peaked around the tree trunk I was using to hide behind and reached toward my hip instinctively for something.
'not here...' my brain grumbled. I ignored the thought and looked toward were the person was standing... or had been standing... where'd he go?
'Denn die todten reiten schnell.' My brain responded quietly
Yes actually... they do. I replied to myself. The dead indeed travel fast.
'Behind you!'
Huh? I launched myself forward grabbing a nearby branch, before I had even caught on to the danger. I dropped down, luckly there was another branch not far below me.
"Calm down." The sound of Edward's voice floated down to me.
"Stupid shiny Volvo owner… What do you mean 'calm down'? Shouldn't you be in school?" I asked crossing my arms. Edward was hardly anything to worry about, my brain had gotten worked up for nothing.
Edward dropped down to the same branch as me, it didn't even shake slightly under his added weight. Impressive.
"Look who's talking. I believe you should be at home. Or in school yourself. Isn't that right." From the slightly condescending sound in his voice I knew I had been caught in my lie.
'No you think?' was my brain's sarcastic remark.
I didn't even mentally shush myself. I stared at his eyes, he was quite intimidating from my point of view. His expression a mix between suspicion and anger... his golden eyes smoldering...
I took a step back.
'No don't!' It was too late, I slipped off the tree and only second later, slammed into the ground.
Chapter two. n.n I hope those of you who read it enjoyed it. Review if you did.
