Chapter 2: Heaven and Hell

Two month ago, Seattle

"Come on sunshine, rise and shine," I heard my sister's voice. At first I thought I was still dreaming. Leah now lived in Seattle with her boyfriend Phil, and had decided to stay there for the summer to take some classes and work on her research project. She should not be in my bedroom.

I felt something poking me in the side, "go away mom, it is summer," I mumbled while I tried to roll away.

"Maybe we should pull in the garden hose and spray him down with it?" Was that Phil talking...man this was a strange dream. "Why is he so sleepy this morning?"

"He stayed up late last night so that he could hang out with Sassy," I heard my sister explain. "I guess he does not want to come to Hawaii with us."

That was when I remembered, I was not dreaming, it really was my sister and Phil talking. Today was the day we were all headed to Hawaii. I immediately sat up in bed, "I am awake, when do we leave?"

Phil gave a small laugh at my enthusiasm, but who could blame me? As part my graduation present Phil and Leah were taking me with them for a two week vacation in Hawaii.

"Well if we leave in the next half an hour we will get to see the sunrise," Phil pointed out from where he was leaning against doorway.

Traveling to Hawaii with Phil was the easiest thing possible, he was not technically human and so he had some awesome skills. So how do you travel across half the Pacific Ocean when you are going with Phil? You simply step through the distortion in space and time that he creates and voila you are in Hawaii.

I had not used this method of travel a great deal so it was still at little disconcerting, Leah seemed to be a lot less bothered by it. We were in a small clearing surrounded by green, the foliage of both the underbrush and the trees were both a vibrant green so that was not much different from Washington. The cloudless sky above us was starting to lighten, it would be sunrise soon.

"Come on let us stash our suitcases in the house then we can head down to the beach," Phil instructed picking up his bags and heading towards a small break in the wall of green that surrounded us. I repositioned the duffle bag over my shoulder and followed my sister and Phil.

I should not have been surprised by the size of the place, the family had a lot of wealth and tended to invest a great deal in real estate. The building that we approached was two stories tall, with what looked like wide wood plank siding and a red tile roof. The landscaping surrounding the house was breathtaking, I usually did not pay attention to these sort of things but it was kind of hard to miss. Even in the low light I could tell that I had never in my life seen that many flowers all in one place. I could not see anything that resembled a lawn amongst the foliage. There were shrubs, flowers and trees as well as what looked to be rocks smoothed out to look like benches. In the distance I could hear the roar of the ocean as well as smell the salt on the air. We must be really close to the water, the sounds of waves pounding against the shore was familiar.

We followed the crushed rock pathway that expanded as we got closer to the house, in several places a smaller branch broke off from the main pathway and disappeared into the greenery that surrounded us. It would be interesting to see where those would lead, this place promised to have a lot of surprises.

"Oh my god what is that smell?" Leah asked immediately distracted by a clump of flowers.

"Probably one of the flowers?" Phil pointed out the obvious, I watched as Leah casually flipped him off. It was amusing seeing the two of them interact at times, they were both stubborn and sarcastic to the max.

Phil quickly led us up the wide staircase, "we can leave our bags just inside, I can give you guys the tour in a little bit. Come to think of it, the view from the balcony my be best."

We walked through the darkened living room with large sturdy looking furniture, "wow you really have the pineapple theme going on here," I pointed out as we went past yet another chair with pineapples carved into the wood.

"It is a Hawaiian thing, it is supposed to represent home and hospitality or something along those lines," Phil stated as he led us up the staircase. At the top of the stairs we were greeted by a long hallway with three doors on either side, all the doors were closed so I could not take a look inside.

"So why are we rushing?" Leah asked Phil when he grabbed her hand to lead hear to the end of the hallway where there was a set of large french doors. He did not answer for a minute, instead he pulled her onto the balcony and around the corner. I followed at an eager pace, Phil seemed to have a plan. It looked like balcony on the second floor wrapped around the entire house.

There only a few small windows on this side of the house, instead of the windows it looked like there were large french doors that led into the bedrooms. This did not hold my attention for long, there was something much more awesome to look at.

The trees and greenery was gone from this side of the house, it looked like the beach came all the way up to the stilts that the house stood on. A few sand dunes covered in green vines gave way to the actual beach of sand. In the distance past the waves you could see the first hints of orange.

Phil wrapped his arms around Leah and rested his chin on the top of hers while she leaned back on him. They seemed to do this without thinking, and I hoped that one day I would be comfortable enough with my mate that it would be this way for us as well. I was not jealous of my sister, I was happy truly happy for her - Phil was such a good match for her it was uncanny.

I walked a little ways down the balcony so that they could have their privacy. In a household full of wolves and other immortal beings with excellent hearing abilities it must be hard for them to get a private moment. I guess this is why they tended to take off somewhere else every chance that they got.

I leaned against the balcony and watched the sun come up over the water. It was kind of strange if you thought about it, this sunrise had already happened in Seattle. Though it had not really made an appearance since it was more than likely hiding behind the clouds there.

Here the few clouds that dotted the sky would not be able to hinder the sun's full glory. I wonder how hot it would actually get, would the heat bother me? or would it be like the cold? I could tell that it was cold but it did not matter one bit.

The song birds waking up and starting to welcome the morning in their own way. I don't think I have ever heard this number of birds together in one spot, as the light got brighter more and more joined in to the point where there was a cacophony of chirps and squawks. It suited this place, everything seemed in excess: the plants, the water, the smells and even the sounds. Even the heat was in excess, it was barely sunrise but the air already felt as hot as it would at midday in Seattle.

I don't know how long I would have stood there had it not been for the angry grumblings of my empty stomach. I rubbed it a little hoping to settle it so that I could spend a little more time out here. Because I had lived on the west coast all my life I had never seen the sunrise over the water, only the sunset. It is amazing how much of a difference it actually made.

Phil finally took pity on me and ushered us back downstairs where he made us breakfast. The kitchen was very large and modern, there was no division between it and the large dinning room. Phil threw open a pair of doors that led onto the porch that had a smaller version of the dining room table as well as what looked like a bar and a barbecue. Someone had come by yesterday and delivered basics for the fridge as well as an amazing quantity of fruits.

"Well I guess we don't have to worry about getting enough fiber in our diet," I joked as Leah and I started peeling and cutting up fruit for breakfast, while Phil made some omelets.

I popped a couple of pieces of papaya into my mouth, before adding the rest to the bowl of fruit. "Oh my god? It looks like papaya but I never had anything that tasted even remotely this good."

"Yeah it makes a difference when you eat it in the place where it is native. You should see how yummy the pastries taste in Paris." Leah explained as she too ate some fruit.

Phil gave a laugh as he pulled out another carton of eggs. "Sure Princess, pastries are a plant native to Paris."

"You know what I mean," Leah walked over and hip checked Phil and gave him a fake glare.

"Yes dear," Phil replied while dropping a quick kiss on her lips before going back to making breakfast.

"A boy could starve around you two, do I need to call mom and complain that you are too busy flirting to feed me."

"From the looks of it half the papaya is already in your stomach, so you have nothing to complain about." Leah came back to my side of the kitchen island and began to slice some oranges.

"I will stop by the market today and see if they have any fun ingredients. We might even make Haupia, a coconut pudding of sorts, for dessert tonight." Phil said as he put a pan on the stove for the eggs.

We ate breakfast outside, it was too beautiful of a day to stay inside. I had to peel another papaya because I ended up eating most of the first one. Some of the flowers that had been closed during the night were starting to open, adding their intoxicating scent to the already fragrant air.

"Wow you could really get drunk on this stuff," Leah said as she touched a small pale yellow flower that was growing up and over the railing next to us.

"The natives call it Pikake, but most of us know it as Jasmine. We have it in our garden at home, just a different variety." Phil gave her a small smile before he leaned over and kissed her again.

"Ewww enough with the PDA, I am too young and too beautiful to be an uncle." It was my duty as a younger brother to harass Leah as much as possible. Come to think of it technically Phil would one day be my brother in law, so I should extend him the same courtesy.

After breakfast Phil and Leah went off to 'look around' in the garden though I am pretty sure they were just looking for a place to make out. Most days they acted like a pair of horny teenagers, I my best to think about what they did behind closed doors.

I on the other hand explored the house and made myself at home. The bottom floor of the house consisted of a large living room, the kitchen and dining room combo, a bathroom as well as a small utility room. The walls here were a brilliant white that contrasted with the dark grey stone floors - I wondered about the stone but then I figured that the sand would probably ruin wood floors.

The top floor had five bedrooms, three on either side of the house and in place of the sixth bedroom there was a small study filled with books, comfy looking reading chairs, and a couple of desks. The walls were all a painted a pale yellow and the floors were all hardwood, except for the bathrooms which were all a matching pale colored granite or something. Looking out my bedroom window I noticed a small building half hiding behind several trees, so I went back downstairs and headed in the opposite direction from where Phil and Leah had gone.

The shed was bigger than I had originally thought and looked like a combination of garage and storage shed. There were two cars parked inside, one was an old jeep that looked like it had been meticulously maintained, the other was a newer looking SUV. On the other side of the building was the storage area, here I found equipment to play every possible outdoor sport ever invented by man. This included volleyball nets, beach balls, as well as over a dozen surf boards.

"I guess when in Hawaii do like the natives." I made the all important hang loose sign as I looked at the boards. I wonder if I they were public property of if they belong to specific people.

"Hey Seth you want to learn how to surf?" Leah's voice made me jump a little, I had been in such deep thought that I had not heard her approach.

"Are you going to teach me? Since you are the expert on the subject," I knew that she and Phil had been doing some surfing on the island over the past couple of years.

"Yeah if you want, we can go out early tomorrow... right now Phil and I were going to go to one of the open air markets for a couple of hours if you wanted to join us. We were also going to grab something to eat while we were there." I had nothing better to do so I decided to join them, especially when they mentioned food. Hey teenage werewolf here, offer me food and I will follow.

We ended up spending several hours at the market, Phil had bought us our Leis so that we could have a truly Hawaiian welcome. I felt kind of silly walking around with a flower necklace but Leah seemed to enjoy herself, she ended up with two more since she found another vendor that was selling one that was "prettier" than hers.

"You are such a girl," I teased her as I watched her put the third Lei around her neck.

She looked down at her chest before felt herself up, "well what do you know, I am a girl." The look of surprise on her face could have fooled most people.

I rolled my eyes and walked on, she was far too freaking happy these days. She was giving me a run for my money, and I was supposed to be the perpetually happy guy in the family. We ran around the market tasting different foods and gawking at some of the more exotic looking plants and produce - we were acting like complete tourists but I did not give a crap, since I was a tourist. Leah and I got so bad that Phil threatened to buy us 'I love Hawaii shirts' if we did not stop.

In the end he did buy us the shirts, but we were not bothered by his teasing and ended up wearing them on the way home. Somehow there was a 'mixup' and Phil ended up buying Leah a shirt that was too small. He apologized profusely for his mistake while staring at my sister's chest with a leer on his face.

"If you do not stop staring and pay attention to the road I will push you out of the jeep," Leah threatened him with a playful growl.

While we had been playing around Phil had actually managed to buy us actual food. That night I learned from Phil that there was nothing in the world that you could not cook on the barbecue, so we ended up spending most of the evening outside on the porch eating food and watching the stars.


The next morning Leah remembered he plans to teach me how to surf, and we discovered two very important facts. The first was that I was not the best surfer in the world, the other fact was that Leah was not the most patient teacher. It took us all morning but I was finally able to stand up on the board, at least for a few seconds. After our first shouting match Phil had gone off to do his own surfing and had left us on our own.

The days that followed were of the same pattern, surf or hang out on the beach in the mornings, then we would go to some touristy place in the afternoon and come back at night to hang out on the beach. I spoke over the phone daily with Sassy, and gave her progress reports on my inability to pick up surfing. She made promises to help me when she came down in a few days time.

I excited on the seventh morning of our stay in Hawaii, Sassy was going to join us today. I woke up early and made my own breakfast of cereal and fruit before heading out to the beach. I could hear Phil upstairs in the study moving around, while Leah was still snoring softly.

"Today is the day that I am going to ride a freaking wave." I tried to psych myself up.

The sun had barely risen when I hit the water, I was a lot more relaxed now that I did not have Leah breathing down my neck. She really was a crappy teacher, I really should not be mean. My third time on the board I actually succeed in not only standing up but actually staying standing up. I heard a small cheer coming from the shore, and that was enough to break my concentration. The board swayed underneath me and I gave up and let myself fall face first into the water. The impact did not hurt at all, but the salt water being pushed up my nose stung.

When I finally got my bearing again I turned my head, ready to be annoyed with whoever had bothered me this morning. I looked over to the shore and felt my jaw drop.

Sassy all dressed up in a business suit was beautiful, she made you want to mess her perfect outfit up. Sassy wearing nothing but a pale pink bikini with aviator sunglasses was breathtaking. I had heard the term 'instant hard-on' before but I thought the guys were exaggerating, apparently I now stand corrected. Hmm speaking of standing up, as much as I wanted nothing more than to get out of the water and go greet the woman that was walking all slinky and long legged towards the water, there was no way to hide my erection.

"Morning, Seth," she told me pleasantly. "You looked pretty good out there, Leah must not be that bad of a teacher."

My only reply was a blush, the material of the suit was very formfitting and I could see the perfect curves of her breasts. Hello girls, how are you doing this morning? I tried to mentally slap myself, but I could not think of anything to say. I felt like that wolf from the Saturday morning cartoons, the one whose eyes are bulging out of his head and his tongue is hanging out of his mouth while the big puddle of drool forms underneath him.

I have always thought that Sassy was pretty much perfect: she was smart, protective, polite and always kind to me. She had a pretty face that did not need a lot of cosmetics and when she smiled it was like the entire world disappeared. I knew that she was in good shape because she used to come jogging with me in the woods. In the past couple of years I had seen her in every version of a suit, when we went jogging she wore the sweat pants and long sleeve T-shirt that were the standard uniform of western Washington. Nothing, and I mean nothing had prepared me for seeing her in a bikini, I mean seriously she should come with a warning label.

"Seth are you all right?" Sassy asked me with in a seriously concerned tone.

I finally got the wherewithal to speak, "umm, yeah."

"Did you bump your head or something?" she asked reaching over to brush some hair off my face.

I took an instant step back, at this point if she were to come any closer I might lose all control and tackle her right here on the beach. "No my head is fine," at least the one on top of my shoulders was.

"So are you going to cling to that surfboat like a lifeline all day long or are you going to actually try to do some more surfing?" Sassy asked with a carefree laugh now that she had ascertained that I was unharmed.

I had never seen her this relaxed before, it was like she always had a barrier up that kept people at a distance - now that barrier was gone, and I was seeing the woman underneath the mask she usually wore. I had seen glimpses and hints of this woman in the past but now I was seeing the true 'Sassy' the one that had probably earned her the nickname. I wanted to keep her like this forever, and my dick heartily agreed. Get your mind out of the gutter Seth.

"Um yeah sure, let's go surfing, maybe you could be a better teacher than Leah. She has absolutely zero patience." There you go Seth, you can actually speak. Now all I had to do was get rid of the ragging woody and everything would be great.

I made sure that my board stayed between me and Sassy at all times as I headed back to the water. I was too distracted to be able to regain my sense of balance again. No one could blame me, especially when it became apparent that Sassy's bikini became practically see-thru when wet. I could see the perfect outline of her nipples. I thought Sassy finally given up on me when I noticed her leaving the beach, but she came back with a bigger board.

"Wow, what is that for?" I asked as she got closer to the water.

"You need to learn how to balance, it just takes a little practice and with this board we can go out together and I can hold you up."

Sassy teaching me surfing was ecstasy and pain, she would stand up behind me and encourage me to follow her up. She would hold her hands out around me in an almost embrace and every once in a while would put her hands on my hips to adjust my stance - it was a good thing I was wearing really baggy swim trunks and that she was behind me most of the time. Her hands were surprisingly soft but firm, as she explained various things like wind speed and what direction I wanted my board to face. As much as I liked her touching me, it was agony that I could not touch her back.

When we got back to the house I noticed that we were alone, I quickly headed upstairs to wash off the ocean and to put on some clothes. "You need to calm down," I told little Seth when I finally got into the shower, "nothing is going to happen." But he did not listen to me, instead he bobbed up and down as the water hit it. I rolled my eyes, here I was talking to my own dick like it was another person. Though I guess at this point it did have a mind of its own, and he was thinking about one thing only: Sassy.

I gave a sigh and decided that if I was going to get through the rest of the afternoon without embarrassing myself I would have to do something about my 'problem'. I would have to take matters into my own hands, I reached over and squeezed some shower gel into my hand. Starting at the head I moved my hand slowly up and down, I pictured what would have happened had I had the guts to turn around on that surfboard. What would her lips have tasted like? Would they be as soft as they looked? I squeezed the head a little bit harder and continued with my fantasies of kissing Sassy. It did not take but a couple of strokes for me to finish, but then I had been ready to cum all morning long. Sassy in a bikini had really done a number on me, her soft and round breasts outlined by the straining pink fabric. I felt myself getting hard again and decided I needed to think of something else, hmmm our principal Mrs Everson chewing me out for skipping so much school.

After unpleasant thought I showered as quickly as possible so that it would not be obvious what I had been doing in the shower. Even with the extra time I had spent in the shower I still beat Sassy downstairs. I did not hear her shower upstairs so she must be done by now.

It took her another twenty minutes to come downstairs, in the meantime I was starting to get a little hungry. I was eyeing the fresh fruit in the bowl wondering when I heard her bedroom door opening and closing.

She was coming down the stairs and still out of sight when she spoke, "sorry I took so long, it takes me a while to get all the tangles out of my hair."

I turned towards the stairs ready to tell her it was not a problem when I finally saw her. Considering the fact that I had just jacked off I should not be able to get instantly hard again.

Sassy was wearing some form of dress, it was all white which was a startling contrast to her dark skin. That was not the part that had me nearly swallowing my tongue, no... it was her hair. For the first time it was not pinned closely to her head in some elaborate style. It was simply pulled back in a ponytail, from there is cascaded down her back all the way to her knees. Like a silky, shiny, black waterfall. It was not the bone straight hair of my people, no her luxuriant hair fell in soft waves. In some places chunks of hair lovingly curled around her shoulders and hips almost like she was being embraced by the dark tresses. Was it possible to be jealous of hair?

She gave a small shake of hear head, cause the hair to shift against her skin, I made a small noise that was a combination between growl and groan.

"Have you been to a lot of places on the island?" she asked as she walked past me to the kitchen.

It took me a while to find my voice, "yeah we went to the market as well as to some of the botanical gardens. Leah is really into flowers right now, and Phil pretty much gives his Princess anything she wants. I have to admit it was pretty cool. We also toured one of the old coffee plantations, and we went down to the historic village for a little bit." I would just have to keep my eyes on her face, and I should be fine. My dick most heartily disagreed, keeping my eyes up was not something he liked.

"So what you are telling me is that you have not gone to any of the really cool places," it was a statement not a question, I merely shrugged. She could take me to the landfill and so long as it was with her I would have fun. It was a mate thing, so long as she was happy, I was happy.

"Whatever you want to do?" I spoke in a low voice. Wow was that really me talking? I tried to clear my throat a little.

"Seth you get to pick too? This is your vacation, I have already been to Hawaii. This is your first time so we can do anything you want." She gave me a small exasperated smile.

"I just don't know all that much about it. Maybe I should have researched it or something." Luckily my voice was starting to sound normal again.

"All right let me tell you about some of your choices. There is a really pretty highway a little bit from here, it is practically a rain forest. We are talking amazing plants and some beautiful waterfalls. On the other side of the spectrum we can go hiking like Phil and Leah, there are some really neat rock formations in an almost desert like area. We can go to an authentic Luau or you can wait for when Angus and Tiffany join us this weekend. I think Phil was planning on cooking a whole pig for that. There is also a helicopter ride that takes you practically over the volcano." I could see the mental checklist she had prepared, Sassy was always a planner.

"Stop, stop... I get it. There is a lot to do and I really don't care. Maybe I don't want to be around too many people right now. It is easier when I don't have to watch every more I make so as not to give myself away, plus the smell of sweat can be overwhelming at times." I ran my hands through my short hair, at least I got to be myself around Sassy.

"All right, why don't we take a drive? That way we don't have to get out of the car."

The Hamakua coast turned out to be an unbelievably beautiful place, "mother nature really has outdone herself here," I barely spoke over a whisper. It felt like we were in the middle of a rainforest.

"Yeah it also helps that they get over 80 inches of rain," Sassy replied with a smile as we followed the road.

"I have never been to a place that is this hot," I was glad for the open top of the jeep, since that equated to a constant breeze. I guess this answered my earlier question, werewolves don't really like the heat.

"My homeland is hotter than this, though the high humidity here makes it seem hotter here. There are days when it is so hot that you can see the waves of heat in the air." I heard the slight longing in her voice, she missed her country.

"Why don't you go back?" If she really wanted to go I would follow her there without hesitation.

"Right now my place is here," she paused with a small smile, "all right, so not exactly here but you understand my meaning. Plus there are some advantages of this place."

"Such as?" I prompted her to continue.

"If you look to my left you can actually see parts of Mauna Kea, the mountain made by the volcano that allows for the existence of this place," she changed the subject and I allowed her - like I had said before, anything to make her happy. "Are you hungry? There are several places we could pull over and eat."

I laughed at her comment, "hello? Was that a rhetorical question because I am always hungry."

She laughed as I intended her to, "one day Seth I will take you home to the island and show you how we party. Three days of eating, drinking and dancing. I assure you would be full before the end of that party."

"Really, when do I get my invitation? Is it formal or casual attire because my tux no longer fits." Sassy dancing was a sight I really wanted to see.

Sassy had packed a basket full of food, she pulled it out of the backseat before I could. She set it down on bench overlooking a waterfall, the spray of the water would hit us in this spot but the cool mist felt really good. We did not speak for a few minutes, instead we concentrated on eating. I of course ate a great deal more, but Sassy was not a lightweight either - I watched as she used her long graceful fingers to place a piece of fruit in her mouth. Her small pink tongue came out to lick the juice that had trickled out of the corned of her mouth. I desperately wanted to take the same path with my own tongue, it was a sure bet that starfruit would taste so much better when licked off her skin. She seemed to be lost in her own thoughts as she popped another piece of fruit into her mouth, this time it was papaya - my favorite. I threw all caution to the wind and started to lean in, determined to get that small piece that had gotten caught on her top lip.

A car suddenly stopped behind us, the sound of gravel flying everywhere broke the spell and brought me back down to earth. Had I really been about to kiss her? In the back of my mind I could remember the few kisses I had shared with Jill, but even in my inexperience I knew that it would not compare to kissing Sassy. Jill had been a schoolboy crush, Sassy owned me - body, heart and soul.

A group of obnoxious guys poured out of the small car, "oh my god look at this fucking awesome pool."

"Hey Jeremy, I dare you to jump in," another one taunted.

"Hey you totally should have tried to pick up that chick, she was totally hot," three of them were leaning leaning against the fence while one was trying to climb over.

"Wow was I ever that obnoxious?" I muttered under my breath. Out of the corner of my eye I watched Sassy shake her mane of hair.

"No, you are not selfish enough to be capable of that sort of behavior," when I fully turned back to her face I could see the love and pride directed straight at me. I could not help it, I was caught by her eyes and could not look away again. "Shall we go on?" She asked after what seemed an eternity but could have been less than a minute.

We ended up coming home really late that night, Sassy just drove while I watched the stars fly by above us. We usually did not get this many stars in Washington, the perpetual cover of clouds prevented true star gazing. I had learned several important things today, one was that it was possible for me to love Sassy even more and two it was important to keep my shirt untucked whenever I was near her.

The days after that were like a dream, occasionally one of the other members of the family would intrude but mainly it was just Sassy and me. Every morning we would wake up early and head out to the beach with our surf boards, usually she ended up sharing one with me. I saw no reason to complain, especially since at times we would just sit there and float. She told me stories about growing up as a member of the family, "when school let out for the summer we would all go back to the island. No matter how far apart we were during the school year my grandmother expected us to come home and be together. So you can imagine how much trouble we got into, that was where we learned the motto 'it is not illegal if you don't get caught'. Though with my grandmother it was really hard not to get caught."

"I cannot really picture that," I told her while I tried to twist around the board so that I could see her face.

"Oh trust me, you would not have recognized me. I was a scrawny kid with out of control mousy brown hair. Did I mention I was really short too? Of course I would try to boss people around even then. Things would get a little dangerous for us at times, because I was not the only one who needed to be a chief," her smile got even bigger as she remembered her childhood. "It made things much worse that the island was the only place we could use our powers without fear of being found out. Some days I am amazed that we all survived. But I became very good at dodging fireballs."

"I know what you mean, since my dad was one of the elders he would go visit Quil, Sr and Billy Black a lot. I don't know how old I was but I can remember Jake and Quil convincing me that I had some sort of rare disease and I would need to eat a worm every day or I would die." It was amazing that I did not get sick.

"So did you? Eat a worm everyday?" Sassy asked, curiosity and humor coloring her voice.

"I am alive and talking to you right now," I explained with a sigh. "The worst part is that Leah found out about it and did not say anything."

"Sometimes I regret being an only child but then people tell me about their siblings and the feeling of longing for siblings goes away," she started paddling again, "now come on one more time and then we have to go early. There is something really fun we are doing today."

With Sassy's help I managed to ride a wave nearly to the shore, we went through the motions of cleaning off and inspecting our board for any damage before stowing it away in the shed.

"Last one to the house is a rotten egg," she yelled after she started running. She almost made it but I used my werewolf strength to jump and landed near the door just a few seconds before her. She narrowed her eyes at me and stomped away when I politely opened the door for her.

It did not take me long to shower and get dressed, first I took care of my "problem". It had become part of my routine, that and long shirts that could cover my crotch.

"We are going to go for a helicopter ride, the island is a magnificent sight from above. But first I thought we would go find something to eat. Phil recommended this hole in the wall place that has really good Spanish food. It gets a little spicy but you have been around us long enough to handle it." She quickly drove us towards the restaurant, which looked like it could be knocked over by a stiff breeze.

"Hmm I think we should probably eat outside," I noticed the small tables set up on the other side of the building. "Can you order for me? I have to go find a restroom."

All the fruit I had been consuming was making me constantly need to pee, but it was totally worth it. Papaya had been replaced as my favorite fruit, pineapple had taken first place. Though Sassy teased that it was because I had so much fun peeling it. It was her fault really, she was the one that showed me how to use the huge knife to just hack away the outer prickly skin.

"You look like you are trying to chop wood," my sister had teased me the first time she had seen me do it.

Stepping out of the surprisingly clean bathroom I immediately searched for Sassy, my eyes narrowed in annoyance when I finally located her. There was an older man talking to her, standing a little too close for my mental well being. As I approached I noticed that Sassy was giving him the polite cool smile she reserved for people she did not want to speak with, that made me feel a little bit better. I walked around a group of tables and stood behind her, glaring at the man over her shoulder.

I almost felt guilty as he finally noticed me, his eyes widened in fear and he took a huge step back. Sassy turned to look at me and rolled her eyes before giving me her genuine smile - the one that involved her whole face: her lips would curl up showing her perfect white teeth, her cute nose would crinkle and laugh lines would appear around her eyes. I had noticed that out everyone she interacted with I was the only one who could make her smile like that.

"The food will be ready in about ten minutes," she spoke quietly before turning around and heading to a table. She had put her hair up in another ponytail and with her quick movement a strand of hair flew around and hit my chest. I did not hesitate for a moment, instead I delicately held it between my finger and thumb. Rubbing it slightly I brought it up to my nose, hoping she would not notice me molesting her hair. It was even softer than I had imagined, and it smelled like heaven itself: gardenias, lilies and the pure smell of Sassy. I wanted to thrust both hands into the dark locks of hair and just burry myself in her scent. Unfortunately she had reached the table and I had to let go, I always had to let go. Despite the fact that she had let down most of her guards she still had me placed in the good friend/little brother category.

I would really need to do something about that, my ever present erection agreed.


A/N: I apologize profusely if I made any mistakes, I wrote this over two days because I was so excited. I have never been to Hawaii nor can I surf, so all my information is from the internets.

Reviews make me write faster...honest.

Next up we will go back to August, Seth goes to freshman orientation.
