Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters
Embry and Quil introduced me to everyone. There was Sam and his fiancé Emily. There was Paul, Seth who was the same age as Oliver, his sister Leah, the 2 shorter ones but were still tall were Collin and Brady. Then there was Jared and his girlfriend Kim.
They were all so tall it was almost unnatural and the fact that they all were so freaking warm. I was getting sweaty just being in the room with them. After a while of talking to everyone it got dark and I decided to go home. Aunt Amanda would be worried.
"Guys I think I need to go home." I said. I was kind of sad it was fun getting to know Quil and Embry again.
"Aw can't you stay a little while longer" Embry said pouting his lips.
"Yeah just another hour, please" Quil joined in giving be puppy dog eyes. I chuckled looking at both of them.
"I don't think so Aunt Amanda will be worried." She probably would she was always a worry wart. They both sighed
"Fine, come on" Embry said grabbing my hand. I pulled away from his warm hand.
"It's ok I walk home. You guys can stay here." They looked at each other unsure.
"I don't know heather. Are you sure?" I nodded and smiled.
"Fine, but we better see you tomorrow at school" Quil said. I gave both of them a goodbye hug
"Don't worry you will." I said a last goodbye to everyone and walked out the door.
I walked at the edge of the forest looking up at the moon. It was so beautiful in the pitch black sky. It was my only source of light but I wasn't scared.
Then all of a sudden I heard leaves rustle deep in the forest and a whimper. I was probably some animal. It sounded like it was in pain. I looked around then stepped a few feet deeper into the forest. 'You should go back now.' I was telling myself, but for some reason I just kept walking deeper and deeper into the forest. The whimper became a little louder.
I stopped as I looked at a russet colored wolf. I think it's a wolf. It looks like one but it's huge. It stopped whimpering and looked at me. I was scared and backed away tripping on a rock. I fell on my butt but I kept my eyes on the wolf. It stood up and stared at me. I don't know why I didn't just run probably because I was too scared. I don't why even came in here.
It rested its stomach on the ground and put it ears back. I didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. It started crawling to be. Once it was a few feet away he just stayed there. Then I could tell it wasn't going to hurt me.
"Your not going to hurt me, are you?" It shook its head like it knew what I was talking about. I don't know why I was even talking to it.
It started to crawl a little closer. I didn't move, but my breathing became heavier. I think he could tell because he stopped. He rested his head on my lap and closed his eyes .I think he wanted me to pet him. I put my hand on his head and ran my fingers through his fur. He looked pleased, because he kept his eyes closed.
"You like that, don't you" I said with a warm smile on my face. I then yawned. I forgot that I needed to go home. He opened his eyes and stared at me again. I sighed.
"I got to go, okay" I said standing up. He stood up too. He was the size of a horse. Man was everything here huge. He whimpered at me. "Oh don't be like that. Ill see you again tomorrow. I promise."
His tongue rolled out of his mouth and he licked my face. I patted his head one more time than ran the other way. Once I was out I could hear a howl. I smiled and ran back to Aunt Amanda's house.
She was sitting on the couch watching T.V while I came in. I immediately started talking so I wouldn't get in trouble.
"Sorry I missed supper I was out with Embry and Quil and then I was on my way home and …" Did I really want to tell my aunt that I was petting a horse sized wolf. I don't think so. "I ... tripped and fell so I couldn't really see where I was going." She just smiled and said
"Are you okay?" Thank good she didn't notice me hesitating.
"Oh yes" I was reassuring her. "I think ill go take a shower and go to bed okay." I smiled showing my teeth.
"Okay dear"
I ran up to my room and grabbed my bag and ran to the restroom. I stripped down and looked at myself in the mirror. The bruises still felt sore as I pocked them. Thankfully my cuts had not opened. I sighed trying not to think of mom and dad and dare I say…… Nate. The person to give me there's marks and to kill my parents I shook my head I didn't want to think of him or these cuts.
After I had my bath I walked to Oliver's room. He was sound a sleep with Jeremy at the foot of his bed. I smiled and kissed his head. I was shocked as I felt how warm he was. I put my hand on his head. He was very warm. Was this something that happens to everyone here? I remember hugging MG and Aunt Amanda and they weren't warm. He woke up.
"What's wrong, Heather?" He said with worry.
"Nothing its your warm. Do you not feel well" He looked at me like I was crazy.
"I feel perfect." Yeah Embry and Quil didn't look sick either.
"Okay, just gets some sleep." He closed his eyes and drifted off. I walked out of the room and on to my bed. I was trying to think this all through, but that didn't last long. I was out
…………………………..
I woke up and prepared for school. I put on my black and white t-shirt with piano keys on it, some jeans, my converse, and my lucky bracelet. It wasn't really a bracelet it was a blue piece of yarn that I have had for like ever. I only wore it when I needed to for test or a good start. I think ill be making a habit to wear it everyday. Then I put on my mother's locket. Last I put my blue and black jacket. After I was clothed I put my hair in a bun. Then I was done I didn't like make up.
I ran downs stairs to the kitchen. Oliver was already there with an empty plate of food and grabbing more.
"Wow someone was hungry." I smiled at him.
"Guess so" He said finishing the last o his food. MG walked down stairs wearing a blue shirt with a white under shirt and a skirt. Oh yeah I remember MG was always a preppy girl. She had something in her hands and was waving it at me. My eyes grew wide as I saw my car keys to my black 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche LTZ. I ran and snatched them from her hands then ran outside to look at him
"Highlight!" I had named my truck highlight because he was just so shiny. I loved my truck like a mother loved her child. Other girls would probably want a car but I wasn't like most girls I was a truck type of chick.
Oliver got in the passenger seat and MG got in the back. I took my rightful place in the driver's seat. I turned him on and the engine purred to life.
"I missed you too, baby." I said rubbing the dashboard. MG looked annoyed.
"Hate to ruin this love fest but we got to get to school." I nodded. MG told me the directions I probably could have gotten there with out her. LA Push was such a small town.
Mg walked us to the front office then walked away. The lady there seemed nice.
"Umm hello my brother and I are new here."
"Oh" She said with a smile "Are you Heather and Oliver Blake?" I nodded "Well get these sighed by all your teachers and bring it back in the afternoon, okay" I nodded and as she gave us our schedules and the slips. We walked out looking at the map she gave us.
"Are you going to be okay?" I said looking at Oliver.
"Yeah ill be fine don't worry" Then walked to his class. Wow he seemed calm.
I started walking to my first class when I heard loud laughter. I turned around and saw Jacob, Embry, and Quil reuniting. They looked this way and a huge smile grew on all there faces. Jacob ran to me and picked me up and wrapped his arms around me. I stared laughing, but suddenly my wounds opened and I winced. I was about to scream but kept it in. He looked worried.
"Are you, okay?" I couldn't tell him about the wounds I wouldn't. I nodded. "Do you need to go to the nurse?" He was grabbing my hand dragging me a different direction. No way was I going to the nurse on the first day of school. Even if I did I would have to explain the cuts. He pulled my hand back.
"No Jake, I'm fine." He didn't look convinced. "It's just it's the first day and all." I looked away so he couldn't tell that I was lying.
"Okay, can I see your schedule?" I handed it to him. A big smile grew on his face. I was confused. "What?"
"We have our first 4 classes together and lunch." I smiled at least I had someone with me to start. He had a worried look on his face "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yup" I looked around everyone was leaving "We better get to classes don't want to be late." He nodded.
