Another weekend, another chapter! Hope you guys like this one.
Again, I do not own anything from the Twilight series. I own the idea of my creature (not the name though), I own the rest of the Morwen family and anything that goes directly with them, and I own the new family that is introduced in this chapter.
Ch.1
Well, it's been two years now that we've been in Forks, and I actually love it. One- because we haven't found the Cullens anywhere, and two- we met another family like ours, the Meldas. The Meldas are really like our family, but the difference is there are only three of them- Angelo, Stella, and their daughter, Selena.
Angelo and Stella are really nice people. Angelo really is an angel, and with his pure blue eyes, light golden hair, and the pale clothes he wears, he looks like one too. He works with my father at the Forks hospital as the best doctors that have ever been here.
Stella is a wonderful person to us- almost like a second mom. She has long brown hair that is always tied up- well, at least when I see her. Whenever we come over, Stella's baking something for us. Her eyes are actually a dark violet color that seems to contrast against the color of her pale skin tone, and she- like my mom- dresses in simple tops and skirts. She designs her own clothing brand- nothing too fancy, but is still popular- and she does works from home mostly.
Then there's Selena, or as we like to call her at times, Moon Girl. It fits with the golden hair and blue eyes she got from her dad and the pale skin coloring that was passed down from her mother. She looks as pale as the moon itself. Selena is the same age as us 'younger' Morwens and we've been friends for the past two years. In fact, at school, you can always find us all together. It's like we're stuck like glue.
Oh, another great thing about being back in Forks- my old friend Jacob Black. You see, Jacob is a werewolf- well, a shape-shifter actually, but I still say werewolf. To put it simple; Jake's ancestors were the protectors of their tribe, and whenever there was danger, they'd transform into wolves. Anyway, when the Cullens had been here last time, it had triggered the wolf in Jake and now he just sticks that way. He stopped growing into a 26 year old guy when he was only 16, and he never found a reason to continue aging. And I don't think he will anytime soon.
Yeah, I forgot to mention- Jake imprinted on Selena. It just happened like that. When we all came over to visit Jake in La Push area, Jake took one look at her, and it was fate. They even had gone to Port Angeles one time and got tattoos of the other's name. Billy wasn't upset with Jake, but you should have seen Angelo go nuts on his daughter. I've never seen him so upset. But all she had to do was unleash her big old 'puppy eye' stare, and he forgave her like that- no punishment or anything. I tried that on my dad when he found about my belly button piercing, but I still got grounded for a week and he made me remove it.

"Come on Iz! New school year starting, so come on! Get up, get up!" Stacy came bouncing into my room and jumped onto my bed, almost knocking me off in the process.
"For God's sake Stace! What the hell is wrong with you? It's not even seven yet!" I exclaimed as I pulled the covers over my head, trying to block out the morning light.
"So?" she asked me. That's it.
I jumped out from under the covers and tackled her, having a one pillow fight. "Get outta here Stace!" She just laughed before she dodged my last swing and ran out of the room. I sighed as I got untangled from the sheets and smoothed them back and then headed over to my closet, where I extracted my light gray jeans, white one shoulder tank top, and a pair of leather calf high black boots. After changing and securing the clasp of my necklace around my neck and my pink and black checkered chained wallet on a belt loop of my jeans, I grabbed my favorite jacket, my keys, and my guns 'n' roses' backpack- which held my books, my black iPod, and my cell phone- and headed downstairs.
Stacy was already downstairs and dressed when I got downstairs. She had a short, faded denim skirt over a pair of bright green legging, a purple shirt with ¾ sleeves and the word 'CRAZY' written in bright yellow on the front, her belt buckle on her cherry red belt, and a pair of black ankle boots. Her hair had the highlights of same shade of green as her leggings and red like her belt. It looked like it was celebrating Christmas early.
Mom was standing in the kitchen with Dad, preparing lunches for us, while Dad was making breakfast- his famous triple chocolate pancakes and some eggs.
"Hi Mom. Hi Dad," I said as I dumped my stuff beside my seat and walked over to them, giving them both a kiss on the cheek.
"Morning honey," Dad said as he handed me a plate with two pancakes and an egg over-easy. I thanked him and walked over to the table and started eating.
Connor and Max came down as I started, and boy did they look like hell. Both of them still had a serious case of bed hair and while Max was dressed in a badly buttoned shirt and his jeans, Connor was still in his pajama pants and 'Green Day' shirt.
"Hey Con-man!" Only I'm allowed to call him that, "You heading over to a sleepover or something?" I joked. Stacy looked up from her book she was reading to see what I was talking about, and I think she almost had a heart attack.
"Yikes! Connor, do you need a hand or something?" she asked him. Connor simply nodded his head, too tired to reply, and she sighed as she got up from her chair, book in hand, and left to help him get ready.
"Hey Max, where's Maria?" I asked him as he sat down, re doing the buttons on his shirt and pulled up the sleeves, showing his wristband. As I asked this, a blur came down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear!" Maria said, trying to use a demonic voice- and failing at it. "Just kidding. Here I am!" she finished as she pulled out a small folding brush from her pocket and began brushing Max's hair in place.
Maria had on a pair of faded jeans with her initials 'M.M' on the back pocket, a red, short sleeved shirt with the words 'I have an attitude & I know how to use it' written in silver glitter, and a pair of cherry red converses. Her pin was attached to the black and white skull wristband on her left arm, and on her right, she had several red metal bracelets.
"Going for a red mode today?" I asked her. She simply shrugged as she finished with Max's hair before getting her breakfast. As she came to sit down, Stacy and Connor came back in the room.
"Much better," Mom commented on Connor's black shirt and dark jeans. He looked up from strapping his watch on his wrist and thanked her before joining everyone else at the table.

"Come on you guys, we've gotta go! We told Jake and Moon Girl we'd meet them before school!" I shouted from the doorway, my helmet tucked under my arm and my jacket and backpack already on. The four clowns cam running down the stairs, bags in hand. "Finally! Bye Mom! Bye Dad! Love you guys!" I yelled.
While everyone piled into Connor's blue Mercedes, I hopped onto my wonderful bike and started it up. I tied my hair with one of the spare elastics I keep around my wrist at all times and slipped on my helmet before gunning the engine and raced out of the garage, my siblings right behind me.
I at the school in record timing before my brothers and sisters and parked beside a red Volkswagen, with them arriving only seconds after me. I got off my bike and just as I took off my helmet, two really warm arms wrapped around me from behind and picked me up.
"Jake! You put me down right now!" I laughed at him. He laughed too before he complied and set me gently down on the floor. Then Selena came over and wrapped me into one of her hugs.
"Izzy!"
"Hey Selena," I said as I hugged her back. "How was your summer?"
She pulled back and walked over to Jake and the others, wrapping her arm around his. "We had a blast! I love it at La Push! The beaches there are so beautiful," she said.
Jake looked at her. "They aren't half as beautiful as you are," he said. Selena's cheeks turned bright pink as she looked down at her red cowgirl boots.
Selena and Jake were dressed very oddly for this rainy little down- more oddly then my family and I with our designer clothing. Jake had on a pair of regular jeans instead of his usual jean cut offs he would carry around on his patrols, a short sleeved black shirt and black sneakers while Selena looked like something from some old styled movie with her jean legs tucked into her boots, and a jean jacket over her red blouse that was tied in a knot at the bottom. The silver heart locket that Jake gave her for their anniversary last year was around her neck like always.
We headed into the school and got our schedules early, and then we headed outside to wait for the day to start by our rides. Stacy plugged her iPod into the Mercedes' radio, and the song 'Fame' from the newest version of the Fame movie came blaring from the speakers. So we were just dancing to the music and joking around when I heard it.
I turned to look at the parking lot's entrance in time to see a silver Volvo come speeding around the corner into the farthest free spot from the school. Following right behind it was a black jeep. I could almost hear my heart stopping in fear at the site of these two cars.
"Izzy, are you ok? You're as white as a ghost!" Max said as he held my arm in case I fainted.
"Um, can we just go inside?" I asked everyone.
"Iz, what's the problem?" Stacy asked me. "Class doesn't start for another… Oh!" she exclaimed as she saw my eyes flash towards the new cars nervously. "Is it them?" She knew everything about them.
Everyone around me tensed up. Max's grip on my arm tightened a fraction and he held Maria's hand in his other, Connor wrapped his arm around Stacy, and I saw Jake starting to shake a bit with fury. Selena stood nervously beside him, trying to calm him down before he transformed in front of the whole school.
"I don't care if it is those idiots or not, there is no fucking way in hell that we're letting them anywhere near Izzy!" Maria hissed. How on earth can someone so small be so terrifying?
I smiled at her and we all grabbed our things and ran into the school.

Classes went by so peacefully this morning without any sign of them, but I was still dreading lunch time as it got closer and closer. I had thought of several different plans like turning into gideion form, but seeing as it looks enough like a vampire, they could recognize it thanks to Alice's visions. Maybe I should go home for the rest of the day? I immediately squashed that idea. Izzy Morwen does NOT run away from anything or anyone! I guess I just have to go through my day and pray nothing will happen.
The bell rang and grumbling and groaning, I left my seat and followed Stacy, Selena, and Jake out of the class.
"I'll meet up with you guys in a sec. I need to head to my locker to get my books for after lunch," I told them. They simply nodded and headed off to the cafe.
I did go to my locker for my bio book and stuffed it into my bag that I slung over my shoulder carelessly and after that I forced myself to head towards the cafe. I had been so occupied with my thoughts that I didn't notice where I was going; and I walked right into someone.
I started falling backwards, my bag falling off my shoulder. As I began to fall, a large hand shot out and wrapped around my wrist. A large, pale, and very cold hand. I looked up to stare into the face of none other then…
My first REAL cliffy! Finally! My other attempts have been worth shit. So what do you think? Like it? PLZ read and review!
