Chapter 2 - Meet The Boys
Kiara laid in bed a few weeks later trying to enjoy the Saturday under the covers...they had finally had the whole house cleaned and fully stocked with tons of food. Everything had been unpacked and it was just nice to be able to sleep in. They were in the middle of their junior year and Kiara was getting excited about being a senior...Finally the last year of school and then she was going to go back to California for college...She already had a full scholarship promised to her at the California Institute of the Arts. She loved photography and she wanted to be a professional photographer...she knew how to develop her own pictures but it wasn't enough she wanted to do and learn as much as she could be taught. Kiara heard Kali leave through the sliding glass door in the living room. Kiara snuggled back under the covers she couldn't be on the go all the time like Kali...She let dreamland take her away again...
Kali pulled he slider closed but not all the way, she left it cracked open about 3 inches so the fresh air could get in the house...It had been closed and locked up for years and smelled like it. Kali had on her black cargo capri's and a red tank top...She'd left her hair down and messy...Kali plopped down into the sand...She buried her feet in the sand as she watched the waves make the tide go in and out of the beach. She closed her eyes in meditation...She couldn't believe her and her sister had been so lucky in life...Henry and Shawnie Clearwater lived both of their entire lives on the reservation in La Push Washington, until they got married. Once that happened they moved to Santa Monica, California and planted their lives there...Never forgetting their roots in La Push. The funny thing was...Henry and Harry were twins and Shawnie and Sue were twins...Neither couple had twins, until Shawnie got pregnant. They couldn't believe it...No one really could.
Kali opened her eyes and stared at the water...She really couldn't believe her parents were gone. It had only been a few weeks since they had been standing in the cemetery in La Push watching their parents be lowered into foreign soil. Kali heard some laughing as she looked over and saw the quartet from the reservation school, plus it looked like they had an older guy with them...Looked like he was in his early 30's. Kali stood up as the guys were horsing around...The older one stopped in front of her, the other's stopped behind him and he said, "Are you one of the Clearwater twins?" Kali looked at him, he was huge, he was 6'2"...Especially to her and Kiara's 5'8" 125 lbs frames. Kali said, "Uhhhh...Yes...Kali Clearwater."
The guy smiled softly and said, "Sam Uley...Listen I'd heard you and your sister had moved into the old Clearwater house...You're Aunt Sue asked me to keep an eye on you guys...if you need anything me and my fiancée Emily live over the hill down the beach...Just come get me, no matter what...Everyone in the community were really sorry to hear about your mom and dad, they were outstanding individuals." Kali smiled and said, "Thanks Sam...We appreciate it." Sam said, "Have you met the knuckle heads behind me?" Kali glared at the same one again who'd been rude the first day. Kali said, "No I don't think I've had the pleasure."
Sam said, "Paul, Jacob, Embry and Jared...They are also at your disposal if you ever need anything." So Jared was the little shits name. Kali said, "That won't be necessary...We'll come to you or Aunt Sue if we need anything...But thank you just the same." Kali turned on her heels and the guys watched as she jogged to the huge wooden deck and jogged up the stairs and went into the house. Sam turned around and glared at the guys and said, "Okay...do I even want to know what the hell you four did to the girls already?" All the guys laughed...well all except Jared and Sam...Jared took a deep breath and knew he had to come clean. He stepped forward and said, "It was my fault Sam...Sorry."
Sam shook his head and said, "Okay...What did you do?" Jared said, "So...At the time I thought I was being funny, because I was just kidding and messing around, but when the twins came in our home room a couple of weeks ago, I asked the teacher if they didn't have a rule about pale faces being in our school...But I was only kidding Sam I swear." Jacob said, "In Jared's defense...It...Well...It was kind of funny." Sam furrowed his brow and said, "I'm sorry...all four of you thought it was funny?" Paul and Embry in unison said, "Nooooo...They laughed we would never..." Sam placed his hands on his hips and gave them a look. Paul said, "Okay...So maybe...I might have chuckled a little." Embry looked guilty and said, "Okay...Yea we all laughed."
Sam said, "Do any of you have any clue as to why these two girls suddenly here?" The quartet shook their heads no. Sam said, "Harry Clearwater has a twin brother named Henry, and Sue has a twin sister named Shawnie...After Harry and Sue got married...Shawnie and Henry met and also got married...Not really heard of right...Well Henry and Shawnie are Kali and Kiara's parents and they were killed in a devastating car accident...The girls are basically being forced to move to a town where they don't know anyone except the Clearwater's...And even then it's only Sue, Leah, and Seth. I'm ashamed to know you guys right now. You already know that's not how we welcome family to our reservation...I'm going to have Emily plan a cook out and you guys are going to be there...and I'm going to invite the twins and I don't want to see not one hair out of place with you four or I'll have all your asses...and if you're nice I might not tell Emily about this little mistake."
All four of the guys cringed...They knew if Emily found out it would definitely be their asses then. Emily was a force not to be reckoned with...she was almost like their den mother and Sam was their Den father...He had been helping the four of them with a really rough patch in their life for the last 4 or 5 months and things were just starting to fall into place and make sense...There was no way they wanted Emily to find out...She would make them feel worse than Sam had.
