Chapter 4- Nico

I spent my day shopping. I have hated this action since I was young but it was necessary. I bought food, clothes, blankets, pillows, 2 books, and some art supplies.

I asked Penny what was a good place to hang out. She said that the Reservation was the best place to hang out. Apparently some of the Quileute Native American's lived here and it was a great place to swim.

I bought a swimsuit and headed out in my car. It wasn't a far drive. When I got there the sun was shining. I went out to this cliff. All these boys were jumping off and I wanted to see it for myself. I shared a greeting with all the boys. There were 8 of them near the edge of the cliff. All of them looked either my age or in high school though every single one of them was buffer than me.

There was a girl who looked my age. She sat in a chair, near the cliff's edge. She introduced herself as Leah. After a while of watching the guys another one came. It was the same one from the dinner last night and next to him was the bronze haired beauty.

"Who's this?" The guy that showed up asked.

"This is Nico." Answered the boy named Seth. Seth gave the girl a quick hug and then she came over to me.

Her bronze hair bounced as she moved. She extended a hand to me. "Nice to meet you, Nico. I'm Nessie and that's Jake." She pointed at the boy she came in with.

"Hi Nessie." I said.

"Aren't you the new boy from New York?" Nessie asked sitting next to me.

"Yeah." I answered. I had been so right, a town like this had NO secrets!

"That's really cool that you own your own house and car." Nessie smiled.

"Yeah but the paying part isn't." We both laughed at my joke and I felt mesmerized by her laugh, it was like wind chimes. The paying wasn't so bad in real life but I just wanted to make her laugh.

"So why'd you move out here?" Nessie sounded confused as to why i'd go from New York to Forks.

"Well, I needed a change in scenery. All there is in Manhattan is tall buildings, rude people, and pollution. Here everything is small, everything is green, and everyone I've met is nice." This was true but also a lie. I didn't come her for a change in scenery but for a change in thought and opinions.

"You're definitely right about the green, the size, and the people!" Nessie smiled.

"So where did you live before?" I asked very interested in this stranger.

"Oh, I've always lived in Forks. My parents even lived here when they were growing up." I couldn't imagine living here all my life, too much similarity and closeness to grow up.

"Oh cool." I said without much care.

"How old are you Nico?" Nessie asked and I could hear a small tone of her voice as if she wanted us to be the same age.

"16."

"I am too. Is it safe to say that you're going to be a senoir like me next year?" Nessie asked.

"Yep." I popped the p.

We talked for about 10 more minutes. I learned a lot about her: fan animal- wolf, fav color- purple, best friends- Clara and Brittany, birthday- Septemeber 11, 2006, and other things like that. then she asked a new question.

"So are you going to jump?" Nessie asked nodding to where the boys were free-falling. Her voice made it sound like she didn't believe I could or would.

"Yeah, definitely." I stood and walked to the edge.

"Be careful, buddy." The oldest boy, named Sam, said. I wanted to tell Sam that I'd done more dangerous things but instead I just nodded.

As I jumped the wind ripped against my bare chest. It felt great to be sailing down. I didn't know why I had never sky or cliff dived before. Then I remembered, it was because my uncle Zeus would kill me. Thinking about Zeus, reminded me of my other uncle, Poseidon, god of the sea and water. That's when it hit me. I was about to crash into the sea, my uncle's domain. I was going to die.

I crashed against the water with a loud clang. I started going lower and lower underwater. I tried to swim up but I couldn't, the waves were too strong. My eye lids started to droop and consciousness started to loosen. Right before I passed out something grabbed my arm and pulled me onto land.

It was the boy, Jake. When I was able to breath at a normal pace, I found Nessie right beside me.

"Nico, are you okay?" Nessie asked full concern in her sweet voice.

"I'm not the best swimmer." I answered.

"I can see. Do you want Jake to drive you home?" Nessie asked.

"No that's fine. Umm… thank you for saving me Jake." I said numbly.

"Sure." Jake mumbled. He didn't sound too happy about the rescue and neither was I.

"I need to go now." I said getting on my feet so fast I got dizzy. I silently cursed Poseidon for making me look like a wimp.

"Slow down Nico. You just almost drowned." Nessie said gripping my arm.

"I know but I need to leave now." I started walking away.

"Be careful. I'll see you around." Nessie called. I looked back at her and smiled then I kept walking.

I couldn't believe what had just happened. I had not only almost been killed by Poseidon but I needed the help of a mere human. Plus I had looked weak in front of Nessie.

I hope you guys review because I don't know how long Travis can last listening to Hannah Montana!

"You get the best of both worlds!" (Playing in the background.)

"I'd rather be killed by a Drakon! HELP ME!" Travis screaming!
