(With the pack)*
Jared and Embry sit in the kitchen, watching the news, while Jake is on the internet. Emily walks up to the bar. "Would you guys like more food?"
"No thanks. I'm good."
"WHOO!" Jake jumps up. "Johnson High School is only a few miles away from here."
"Why are you looking for a high school?"
"She's in high school."
"That's still surprising. I didn't think she was that old," Embry comments.
"Hey you guys, come look at this," Emily calls, beckoning them to the TV. They follow and listen to the anchor woman talk.
"The breaking story today is a mass massacre in a local forks dinner. About 15 people were murdered in this restaurant. There are no leads but there do seem to be many theories. Apparently something like this happened about fourteen years ago and just like this incident, every victim was drained of their blood. Police are working hard to find connections to these two incidents. The government would assume it was a terrorist target, but the area appears too small to be targeted. All of the love ones killed in this tragedy will be honored on Saturday. Thank you and this is Barbra Wilson bringing you the breaking story for today."
"Drained of their blood."
"I'm calling Sam," Paul says, taking off his shirt.
"No. No. No. If you're calling him you better do it outside," Emily says. Paul impatiently makes his way outside and changes into his wolf form.
Sam, we need you down at the house now. There's a problem. He changes back into a human and walks in, grabbing a conviniently placed pair of shorts at the door "Happy?" he says to Emily
"Very. I don't have any destroyed tables now."
"Paul. Come with me. We're going to Johnson High School," Jake tells him.
"Why?" Paul asks.
"I wanna come," Jared hops up.
"Fine. All three of us can go." The three boys leave, forgetting about the reason they called Sam.
(with Vanessa at school)*
Vanessa stands beside her only friend Lake. The two lean on a wall, looking at girls and boys walk around.
"So you went to the reservation and saw Weres?"
"Yeah. Not one of the best things I've ever done."
"You know, you could have at least tried to cover up your mess in that diner."
"I was mad. I didn't feel like it."
"You're going to give yourself away."
"Humans are ignorant. You know that. By the time they find out what I am it will be too late."
"You're lucky you have so much power."
"It's not really something I asked for, you know."
"I know, but I still hope I can be as powerful as you. Do you think werewolf slayers exist?"
"No, but there is a first for everything. You can be that first and I'll be happy to support you.
Maybe I'll become one myself."
"You're a vampire and a sorceress."
"Stop saying that. I'm not a sorceress. You just assume I am."
"That's because you don't know what you are."
"And honestly, I don't care. Once again, it's not something I asked for. It just happened. I just want to learn how to control it. "
"Well you don't regret it happening..."
"Actually I do. If I could give all this power up I would. I didn't ASK to enjoy killing people. I don't want that."
"That doesn't matter anymore does it because you do get joy out of it. That's why you kill so much. You love it."
"No I don't. The power does and i'll find a way to tame it eventually."
"Good Luck," Lake sighs. A group of four girls walk beside them and stand. They laugh extremely loud and flip their hair, obviously being snobby towards Vanessa. A brunette turns around and says, "Love the shoes. Where'd they come from? Thrift store?"
"No I got them off the corner when I picked up your mom last night." Vanessa says, stepping up. The brunette named Brea steps up with two blondes behind her. Lake stands beside Vanessa and the two cross their arms. "Ok," Vanessa jeers, "If we fight, the two of us against the three of you. Who do you think will win? Answer honestly."
"Go jump in front of a bua, bitch." With that, they walk away.
"Isn't it weird that they pick a fight practically every week and flee every time," Lake asks.
"Not weird at all. Maybe smart." Vanessa replies.
"VANESSA!" a familiar voice calls. She looks to her left and sees Jake, Jared, and Paul walking towards her.
"What the hell?" They reach her and Jake hugs her. Everyone in the hallway is staring at the tall good looking guys approaching the least popular girls in the school.
"What happened to you?" Jared chuckles, looking her up and down. Her hair is nappy and in a messy pony tail, she is wearing a t-shirt with sweat pants and scuffed converse. "This must be a different person then who we saw at the party."
"More like the same person we saw at Lowes," Paul grunts. She rolls her eyes at him. Vanessa has gained a heated dislike of Paul and him for her. He doesn't even know why he agreed to come with Jake.
"Why are you here?" She whispers.
"You told me you went here so I figured this is where I could see you again."
"I told you where I went but you weren't supposed to come here!"
"Well we're here now so we're staying," Paul retorts.
"You're not allowed to be here. Did you even stop by the security office to get a pass before coming into the school like this?"
"Well, no... We can come to your house instead," says Jake. "If you don't mind."
"No, my dad won't let me have boys over."
"Well maybe you can come to the reservation with us."
"I'm not sure..."
"Come on. You don't have to worry about wolves; we'll keep them in check."
Lake shoots her an unsure look and she shrugs.
"OK, sure. I can take the bus. I think it will get there at around four o'clock."
"Why won't you take your motorcycle..."
"DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?" Lake shouts to the teens staring at the conversation. They consider whether or not they should defend themselves, but they choose the best choice to move on. "Sorry," she apologizes to us. "Continue."
"Uhm. My motorcycle was stolen from the reservation the night of the party."
"Oh really? We're sorry. We'll try to get it back."
"It's OK. It was only my transportation. Not that important."
"We'll pick you up after school."
"Ok. I guess I'm fine with that. By the way, this is my friend Lake." Lake waves and the guys stare at her also, significantly colored, bright blue eyes. They are not like ordinary blue eyed girls. Some people swear that they are glowing half the time.
"She can come too."
"No thanks," she refuses. "I think I'll pass. Nessa, I'm getting hungry. Do you want to go to breakfast?"
"Well, breakfast sounds good. Would ya'll like to come?"
"That seems..."
*(music) It's hard to feel the rush,
To brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run back to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love.
I'm on the edge of glory,
And I'm hanging on a moment of truth,
I'm on the edge of glory,
And I'm hanging on a moment with you.*
Paul ruffles around for his phone. After a whole nother verse of Lady GaGa he finally finds it.
"Hello," he says, as everyone stares at him because of the unexpected lady gaga song.
"What? Now?"
"Paul what's wrong?" Jake asks. Paul puts his hand up. "Ok where? ... How many do you
think it was? ... Ok. I know Embry is anxious but don't let him or Leah go out there without us. It's way too dangerous. ... Yeah. Jake and Jared are with me. We're coming now." He hangs up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Jared urges.
"No time. We need to move."
He runs out of the main entrance and Jared follows. Jake looks at us. "I'm sorry. See you after school." He's gone.
"OK. That was weird."
"Yeah. It sure was."
"They are cute."
"Yeah, but Paul gets on my nerves. I don't like him."
"That lady gaga ring tone was kind of odd."
"Something isn't right about him. I can tell just by looking at him that he is off in the head."
"They reek of werewolf," Lake complains.
"I know right. They smell like wet dog. It's terrible. It's because of that reservation. They don't even know how bad they smell."
"Are you sure about going to the reservation? Don't you think it's a little dangerous?"
"A little, but my scent is masked if I stay human. Besides, those humans I smelled last night seemed pleasing. I want them."
"Don't get yourself killed or revealed."
"I won't. My only worry is Terra coming down and "checking" on things." Before Lake can speak the bell rings and everyone heads to class.
"Ok," Lake says. "You be careful. You don't know who these guys are and you are a vampire. Everywhere you go you are in danger. So if anything happens, just call me and I'll be there in the blink of an eye. Literally."
LLL- Please Review.
Vanessa- You should make me more aggressive
LLL- I think you're good enough. I don't want you killing people.
