I woke up in a cramped room, the bed taking up most of the space. I sat up and pushed the old quilt away from me. Voices echoed from outside the door making it hard to think, so I stood and went to the door. Before opening the door I looked down and studied what I was wearing. Instead of the banged up jeans and AC-DC skin tight shirt I wore went I got to La Push I was in a giant white tee that went past my knees and acted like a nightgown. I decided it was good enough cover and walked out of the room and down the hallway to the living room where everyone was sitting.
"Look whose up." Skyler said smiling over at me.
"God, it's alive!" Dark boomed as I slid myself up next to Hale's side, wrapping my arms around my older brother's waist.
"Shut it!" I snapped. "What smells like dead idiots?" I asked referring to the smell of leeches that radiated from the couch area where Jacob, Bella, and Quil sat. Quil pointed slyly at Bella and laughed under his breathe as I grunted.
"Well, cousins, how long shall we be hosting you?" Sam questioned, looking straight at me.
No one answered; just four pairs of eyes came and rested on me. I thought about how much I didn't want to return home because of the war. Our battle was won, but other battles were going on and we would be pulled into it. But I also didn't want to stay in a lace with leeches so close and where Sam lived. I just don't like the smell of pride radiating from him; I never liked the smell, not even when it came from our father.
"We're only goin' stay long enough to find a new place to live. Our home In Florida isn't working anymore." I buried my face in Hale's chest as he placed his hand on my head and petted it. I wanted to go back to sleep; my whole body screamed for it, but I just couldn't go back to sleep, I was already awake fully. Hale wrapped one of his arms around me trying to comfort me back to sleep.
"So you'll be staying for quit awhile?" Bella asked.
"That's what it sounds like." Skyler chirped.
"Cool, we should all go down to the beach soon."
-xXx-
I wound up being drug to First Beach kicking and screaming…latterly. Once at the small beach Skyler and Dark ran widely into the water not even flinching when the freezing water lapped onto their burning flesh. Dark immediately dunked Skyler under the cold water and held him, laughing like a mad man. Their rough play continued as I walked to a fire pit and sat on one of the logs next to Hale, Quil, and Embry.
After about an hour I found myself starring at Embry every few minutes.
I looked over at him again, but this time he caught me eye and smiled over at me. I smiled back slightly then looked at the ground.
"God, Luns!" Dark called. "If you're goin to flirt do it right." I felt my face burn red as I throw a rock at him. He ducked seconds before the rock would've hit him in the jaw. Laughs erupted from Jacob's and Embry's chests. I shot them evil glares at both of them and kept them locked on them before I heard a laugh come from Embry. My eyes went from the two idiots to Embry to the ground within seconds. I hate those idiots.
