"Mom! Do you know where my leather jacket is?" I don't have to yell because I know my mother could hear me. Our house is large and a couple hundred yards away from the main house. Nessie's house is 750 yards away from mine, to the right.
"Its in the dining room last I saw!" she calls back. My grandfather, Carlisle, had to get a new job because he was supposed to be 40 years old and only looked 34 at most. About a year after I came to my family, we all moved from Forks to a town called Belfair, which isn't too far from Forks. Grandpa got a job at the nearby hospital and the wolves were still relatively close to La Push.
Like in Forks, we live on the edge of the town. We had the main house, which is where Aunt Alice, Uncle Jasper, Grandma, Grandpa, and the wolves stayed. Then Aunt Bella and Uncle Edward and Nessie had a cozy home, slightly larger than their cottage in Forks, and Momma, Daddy, and I shared a house that rivaled the main house in size.
I zipped to the dining room and found my jacket on the back of my chair.
"Thank you!" I heard my mother laugh and my father chuckled from separate directions in the house. I walked from the large dining room with white walls, a glass table, and silver and white upholstered chairs, through the kitchen that looks like it belonged in a magazine, and past the living room filled with leather couches and chairs, expensive hardwood flooring, and a large television, to get to the front door. As I opened it, Momma appeared.
"Where are you going?" she asked curiously.
"Nessie and I wanted to go out on our bikes." I tell her. She smiled at me and adjusted my jacket before nodding an approval at me. I was wearing dark skinny jeans, black Doc Martens, my black studded leather jacket, and a black long sleeve shirt that had white crosses on it. My fashion sense is very different than everyone else's, but Aunt Alice just had fun with it and made me get "designer goth" as she called it. Mom was just happy to have a daughter, and was much too happy to help me decorate my room with black walls, white furniture, and black sheets with my ceiling painted like a galaxy.
"Is Seth or Jacob going with you?"
"No, we aren't going far."
'Alright, go say goodbye to your father. And make sure to be back before 3! You know how bad Alice wants to go shopping with you and Ness." I smiled and kissed my mother on the cheek before skipping off to find my father.
"Daddy!"
"What's up Princess?"
"Nessie and I are going to go riding for a little while. We will stay close. I love you." I reminded him. I kissed his cheek before turning and running at full speed to Nessie's house, where she was waiting for me. We walked to the garage slowly, gossiping and giggling about the wolves.
"Jake told me that Embry is going to propose to Sasha." Nessie says quietly.
"Really?!" I started to jump up and down. We had been waiting for Embry to imprint while in Forks, and as soon as we moved, he imprinted on a very pretty lady named Sasha here in Belfair.
"Yea! Embry convinced Leah to go to the ring store with him for help. They're going today after their patrol." I squealed as we arrived at the garage. Nes typed in the code and the door opened. We slipped in before it closed and turned on the light, out of habit more than need.
"I want to go to college." Nessie said suddenly. I froze with my helmet halfway to my head.
"What? Where? What for? When?" I asked.
"Well, I mean I'm full grown, and I'm bored here. I'm bored with the life I have right now. Plus, you know my mom has been dying to go, and I can't help but feel I'm the one that stopped her."
"Or," I start. "You know, the fact that she knew she would become a vampire and have eternity to live and do whatever she wants. Plus, didn't they think you were going to die eventually too? That kind of puts a damper on things." Nessie glares at me, but I just focus on getting my bike ready. I steered it out of the garage and buckled my helmet while waiting for my cousin.
"I just feel guilty. And I would want you to go with me, of course."
"We haven't even gone to high school."
"That's true…So what? We move again and all go to high school? We just moved here, and the guys can't keep moving further from La Push."
"Why? They don't protect La Push anymore, they protect us. Plus, if you wanted to go to college, I'm vaguely sure they would move anyway. We should move somewhere completely different, like New York, or London. Start high school, graduate, go to college. Just a suggestion." I shrug my shoulders before jumping on my bike and taking off, not waiting anymore for my cousin who was just getting stuck in her own mind.
I leaned forward on the bike, pretending I was flying, and sped onto the driveway of the main house. I heard Nessie's bike further behind me, and I heard the door to the main house open.
"THAT'S MY GIRL!" Seth yelled. I giggled while doing a wheelie and turned down the road in the direction that leads away from Belfair. The wind blew against my body, hard, but I was slim enough that it didn't get control over me, and strong enough that even if it tried, I'd win. Nessie caught up with me as I went around a curve and caught a sent. I slowed down and motioned to her to come investigate with me. The scent was familiar. We got off our bikes and took off our helmets before walking into the forest to investigate.
"I can't wait to see her." The voice said. It was soft and recognizable. Nessie and I looked at each other, her eyes lit up.
"Senna! Zafrina!" Nessie stood up and walked towards the Amazons. They looked surprised, but only for a moment before they gathered Nessie in their arms.
"How have you been, child?"
"Well! Why are you here? Is everything alright?" Nessie's voice was high in anxiety and excitement, as if the two were having a competition.
"We need to talk you Carlisle and Edward. Could you lead the way?" Nes nodded before making her way back to me and taking my hand, leading me back to the bikes while explaining her memories of the Amazons. That is why I had recognized them, because Nessie had given me these memories before.
As we rode back to the main house, Senna and Zafrina ran beside us in the woods, concealed from human eyes. Nessie and I hurried to put the bikes away while Senna and Zafrina went inside to talk to Carlisle and Edward. Alice had seen them coming and made sure Edward and Carlisle were in the main house. Nes and I ran up the front steps and into the house, hoping to hear some of the conversation. But Aunt Alice and Mom stood in the doorway so we couldn't get in.
"Time to go shopping!" Aunt Alice clapped her hands together in excitement. Mom smiled at us as Nessie touched my hand to ask if I could use my power to get us into the conversation. I looked Nessie in they eyes and used my gift to show her that there would be too many minds to persuade. Not long after I arrived at the Cullen's home did we realize I could use my gift to communicate, similar to Nessie's gift.
"When you get back, we will be able to determine what to tell you. Grandpa says from deep in the house. With the promise of information upon returning home, Nes and I became less begrudging to go shopping.
When we got home from shopping, the atmosphere felt very strange. We each were loaded down with numerous bags from many different stores, but the curiosity that ate away at me pushed me to run to the door.
"Aoife! Wait up!" Nessie called. I walked inside and saw that the Amazons were not our only guests. So was Charlotte and Peter, and Liam, Siobhan, and Maggie. I raced forward to Maggie for a hug.
"Oi Ma Eefa! You've grown!" Maggie hugs me back and I giggle. She is the one who named me.
"What is going on?" Mom asks. I look up and notice for the first time the sullen looks on everyone's faces.
"Aoife. They want to see her." Liam's voice was gravely.
"Who?" Mom asks. Nobody spoke for what seemed like an hour, until finally Uncle Edward answered Mom's question.
"The Volturi."
