So we've been outnumbered
raided and now cornered
it's
hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now
find things they never
found
they might be bigger
but we're faster and never
scared
you can walk away,
say we don't need this
but there's something in your
eyes
says we can beat this
Because these things will
change
can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up
to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time
will come
for us to finally win
And we sing hallelujah,
we'll sing hallelujah (Change by Taylor Swift)
"Polar bear?"
I giggled. The look on Garrett's face was hysterical. I sat on his lap in the living room with my family around me. They had quickly gotten used to the idea of newly found lovers in the house. Garrett and I hadn't actually done that yet, but Tanya kept saying, 'Just wait, it'll happen soon'.
I slipped my arms around his neck and tilted my head so my forehead was leaning on his. "They taste better then you'd think." He made a disgusted sound in the back of his throat. "It still sound's gross." I sighed and closed my eyes. I sure had my work cut out for me. I poked his nose. "Listen Garrett. If you want to be a vegetarian then you better start acting like one. We're in the Arctic. What else are we supposed to eat?"
That got him. He shrugged. "I guess." I smiled. "Good. Let's go hunting then." I turned to look at the rest of my family. "Do you want to join us?" Carmen and Eleazar shook their heads. I could tell they had other things in mine. That thought made me want to blush, if it were possible. Tanya smiled. "I would...But I think you need some time alone together." She stood up and walked out of the room. I looked down at Garrett. He chuckled. Again I wanted to blush.
Carmen stood up and pulled Eleazar with her. "We have something to do. You two go have fun." She tilted her head to the side and smiled, her giggles vibrated off the walls, sounding like bells. I glared at her and pouted. That made her giggle harder. She patted me on the head. "You're cute." They left the room.
I sighed and looked at Garrett. "Shall we go?" He picked my up and carried my outside and ran with me through the forest. I frowned. "I can walk," I said, trying to sound cute so he would humor me. It worked. He laughed and let me stand. "Okay, whatever you say Katie." I sighed. "Do you have to call me Katie? I hate that name. It's so childish." He bent down and kissed my neck. I stiffened. "I love you, Katie."
He pulled away. "It doesn't sound that bad does it?" I shrugged. "I guess it doesn't. Not when you say it." I turned to the forest in the opposite direction as my house. I bent down, ready to run. "Race you," I said, smiling at him. He chuckled and got into a running, too. "Ready? Set? Go!" I ran as fast as I could. He kept up with me the whole way. I stopped suddenly. He kept running, not seeing me stop. He ran back to me. I giggled. "Pay more attention next time, loverboy."
He smiled. I could tell he liked the nickname. We were in a open field and I could smell the bear just over a hill. I closed my eyes and let my animal instincts take over. My eyes flew open. I smiled at Garrett who was watching me with interest. "Watch and learn," I whispered. He nodded and I bolted up and over the hill. I landed on the back of a big, heavy bear.
"Gotcha!" I shouted. The bear reared up and tried to shake me off. I dug my nails into his back and sent an electric shook through my arms. When he stopped fighting back I gently placed my lips against his neck. I bit down hard, tearing the tough flesh. Warm blood spilled out of the wound. I drank about half of it, leaving the rest for Garrett.
I called him over. He was at my side in a second. I stepped away from the big, white mass. "I saved some for you." He smiled and pulled me closer to him. My arms slipped around him. He leaned down and licked my lips. I blinked. It was unexpected. "You need to be cleaner with your food, love." He whispered. I understood then. He was licking the extra blood off my lips. I laughed out loud. He smiled and let go of me. He grabbed the bear by the fur on his neck and pulled him up to his mouth. I knew he was just showing off how strong he was. I had to admit it was quite strong. I could see the muscles tensing in his arms as he drank the rest of the bear's blood.
He dropped the empty carcass and turned back to me. He held up his hand for mine. "Shall we dine again or do you wish to go back home?" I could tell he was trying to be gentlemen-like. I didn't care how he acted.
He was my Garrett
OOO
I ran home with Garrett after another whole bear each. It was weird how thirsty I had been. I looked at the man I loved. He noticed I was staring at him and turned his head to gaze into my eyes. I felt like blushing again. I got this sinking feeling every time he looked at me so lovingly. It wasn't the same sinking feeling as before, when I was still confused about whether I loved him or not. No, it was a whole new feeling, a good one.
I pulled my eyes away from his to look at the ground. He chuckled and kept running. I knew he was still looking at me. I tried to put my mind on something else. It was hard. Eventually my mind wandered to the Volturi. I don't think I will be able to forgive Caius for what he did to me and my family. Irina was my sister and I loved her. I had to admit that the one thing I would hate to face in a battle against the Volturi would have to be Alec. He scared the crap out of me.
I sighed. I would have to get over it. Preferably sooner then later. I would never forget but at least if I got over wanting to smash Caius's face in, it would soften the blow a little. I sighed again. I would need to talk to someone about it. Maybe Garrett would help.
"Katie?"
I blinked and looked up at Garrett. He was looking down at me with worried eyes. I had stopped running without even noticing. "Oh," I said. He put a hand on my check. "Are you alright?" He shook his head. "That was a stupid question, of course you're not okay. What I meant was can I do anything to make you feel better?" I gave him a sad smile. He was so kind. I leaned into him. I took in a deep breath and let it out. "I just need something to distract me so I don't go running off to Italy and smash Caius's head in with a rock."
He chuckled for a second. He put a finger under my chin and lifted my head so I was looking into his eyes. "Will this work?" He gently pressed his lips to mine. I could tell he was trying to restrain himself but he gave in. I was glad he did. His lips pushed on mine with great force.
I moaned slightly as his cold hands slipped under the hem of my shirt. His left hand worked it's way up to my bra. My hands weaved around his neck and into his golden hair. My tongue traced his bottom lip, begging for access. He groaned and his lips parted. His smell washed over me, intoxicating me. His tongue slipped into my mouth and explored each corner, leaving nothing untouched. My tongue twined with his. He pushed me up against a tree. My legs wrapped around his waist.
He held me in his arms for half an hour, kissing me. I had never felt better in my life. He did distract me. His mouth slipped down to my neck. I gasped in pleasure. "You're good at this, loverboy." I panted. He smiled against my skin. "Glad to hear it." He whispered, almost inaudibly. He kissed and licked my neck. Suddenly he bit me. I gasped. It was not a bad feeling. It gave me a strange rush of pleasure.
I ripped his mouth away from my neck to kiss his lips again. My tongue twisted with his. My whole body shook. "Garrett," I gasped. "Garrett, please. I need this." He seemed to understand my meaning. He pushed me to the ground. My hands went straight for his shirt. It was off in less than a second. One of his hands were still in my shirt. He used that hand to rip my shirt off as well. My fingers slid down his chest. I could feel every muscle. I was right, he was strong. He kissed my neck again and slid his hands behind my back to get to my bra's clasp. I arched my back to help him. Soon my bra was off as well.
Garrett panted into my neck. "Are you sure you want to do this Katie?" I smiled. "I've never been so sure of something in my life."
