Chapter 2:
Celina's fingers twisted in the blankets as she balled her hands into fists. Her nightmares had become more and more vivid as the nights continued. Though she loved her new home and adored the people she had been surrounding herself with in the few weeks that she had been in La Push, the past always had a way of trapping her within her own mind.
It was all black, puffs of smoke were extending from everywhere and nowhere and cackling laughter echoed from it seemed within her ears. Almost instantly she was thrust into an ocean of bubbles and fermented wheat. More cackling and soon it started raining. Lightning shot across the skies and thunder soon followed. Waves started forming; she was rendered immobile though inside she was struggling to move her body. The waves dragged her under the ocean and-
"Cel! You up yet?" Tyler knocked on the door, "Breakfast is ready and Nick's gonna take us to school in 20 so hurry!"
Celina could hear him make his way down the stairs. She sighed heavily and placed her hand behind her neck. It was moist with sweat and sore from the constant tossing and turning. She tried to push the nightmare out of her mind, but it was futile, she had been dreaming the same thing ever since she arrived in La Push three weeks ago.
"Have you guys been noticing something strange with Celina?" Sarah asked her sons.
"With Celina? What about with Nick? He's the one with a temperature of 108 degrees!" Tyler bit at a piece of bacon.
"We knew it was going to happen at some point!" Kevin shouted from the living room.
"Tyler's just freaking out because he knows it won't be too long before it's his turn too," Nick devoured his eggs, sausages, bacon and pancakes.
"Can we please not talk about this when Cel is in the house?" Kevin suddenly hushed everyone, "She shouldn't know anything about this situation."
"In other words: Tyler shut up," Nick glared at his little brother from across the table.
Tyler threw a fork at his older brother's face, Nick swiftly moved out of the way while the fork hit the window behind him. Sarah slapped Tyler in the back of the head and began scolding him.
"Morning familia!" Celina yawned as she made her way into the kitchen with her earphones plugged in.
Everyone took a huge sigh as they realized how close they had been to being discovered. Celina grabbed a plate and helped herself to a couple of pancakes along with the fruit salad that Sarah had set aside for her daughter. She sat down next to Tyler and proceeded to eat her breakfast as fast as she could.
"Those are the boots I bought you," Sarah smiled, looking down at the black knee length leather boots.
"Yeah," Celina smiled, "I thought that they would go really well with the outfit."
Everyone took a look at her clothing. She was wearing a bright yellow tee shirt with a black leather jacket over it, a denim mini skirt with yellow tights underneath and a yellow beret.
"You look great Cel," Sarah nodded approvingly.
"Yep, if you weren't my sister I would most definitely hit on you," Tyler smiled both genuinely and jokingly.
"Thanks Ty," Celina laughed, "I'm surprised to see you awake Nick."
Nick just shrugged and smiled, "I guess I finally forced myself to fall asleep early."
"Well that's good! It's bad to sleep in anyways," She smiled at him.
"Guys it's time for you to leave or you'll be late to school," Kevin said, pouring himself a glass of milk.
Tyler and Celina both grabbed their backpacks and waved good-bye to their parents before Nick pushed the two out the door.
"Thanks for the ride Nick!" Celina waved as he drove out of the school's parking lot.
Tyler had gone and run off to meet up with his new girlfriend, Riley, so Celina was left to wander by herself. That was until someone had covered her eyes.
"Hmm I wonder who it is?" She smirked, touching the warm hands obstructing her vision.
She traced the shape and the skin to get a better detail of them. It couldn't have been Quil because he had softer almost baby-like hands.
Embry's were sort of muscled with stubby fingernails... So it had to be...
"Jake?" She smiled so sure of herself.
"How'd you know?" He laughed as he removed his hands off her eyes.
"I just know," She smiled at him, "So where are the other two at?"
"Well Embry is off talking to his history teacher about a make-up test and Quil's getting something from the cafeteria," He explained, "Ty told me that you've been acting... Weird, you wanna talk about it?"
"Whoa there! This is the first fifteen minutes of the morning and you're telling me that my brother hired you to talk to me?"
"He didn't hire me, that would require payment!," He laughed, "He just asked me to talk to you. And I would have asked you without him pressuring me either way; you've been worrying me lately."
Celina shrugged, "I've just been having some bad dreams. Nothing to really cry over."
"Well you've obviously let it take over your waking life," He pointed out.
"Very true," She half-smiled and sighed, "They've just been the same thing ever since I arrived in La Push. It's always the same dream. No matter how happy I am awake, when I fall asleep... I don't know what to do. I'm just about ready to crack; I'm starting to fear falling asleep."
Celina looked up at him, "It sounds pretty stupid right?"
He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her, "No, not stupid or weird or any other word you can think of. You've probably not let go of something from your past."
"I was thinking about that," Celina said burying her face in his chest and inhaling his scent.
Celina has had a crush on Jacob Black since the first day she met him. She loved everything about him and enjoyed every second she spent with him. It was mostly the humor that she loved and how she could say just about everything to him and he would still care about her just the same. Their brains were pretty much connected, just like how she felt with Embry and Quil. She considered him one of her best friends.
"Am I ruining a tender moment here?" Quil pushed Jacob out of the way and gave Celina a welcome hug.
"Hey Quil!" Celina hugged him back, "So how the food hunt go?"
"I was successful in getting a whole box of waffles," He said, showing her the box in his left arm, "You want some?"
"Do you have to ask?" Celina reached into the box and pulled out three warm waffles.
"You want one Jake?" He asked.
"You sure you won't shove me out of the way to get one?" Jacob asked dryly.
"I'll take some," Embry said, suddenly appearing beside Celina.
"Hey Embry!" Celina smiled and gave him a welcome hug.
"Hey Cel," He hugged back, "You look really pretty today."
Celina blushed at this, "Thanks, Ty told me something similar to that. You were just more gentlemanly about it."
"Gross, wouldn't that technically count as incest?" Quil's face had a look of mock disgust.
Jacob, Embry and Celina laughed at him. The bell rang and Embry offered to walk Celina to class to which she agreed.
"Bye guys, don't be late for gym!" She shouted over her shoulder at the other russet boys.
"We don't need gym, we're already buff!" Jacob shouted back.
"I would believe it if the definition of buff was tall, lanky and looked like a bean pole!" She laughed.
"Not cool!" Quil yelled.
NOTE: I am so so sorry to anyone who's been keeping track on this story for the past year. I've been so busy with school and work and these past two years have been even more hectic what with focusing on my grades and college which is just around the corner I didn't have time to write a story. The only reason why I came back to this one is because I found it in my documents last night and I knew I just had to get through it. Again I am so sorry for making you guys wait and I will try my hardest to keep focused on this story.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Twilight characters [not matter how much I wish]. But I do own Celina, Sarah, Kevin, Nick and Tyler [Yay!]
