Visit
"Good morning, everyone," Renesmee said descending the stairs. She was dressed in a sweater/dress. It was long sleeved, cream colored, and went down to her knees. She was wearing brown boots. "Ready to go," Ness asked when she was next to me. "Ready," I replied. "'Kay, we'll see you later." Ness said. "We're probably staying for dinner at Sue's house." She looked at me. "I got to stay with you so I have no choice." I smiled at her. "You're right," She said grabbing my hand. "Bye," We said in unison.
We arrived in La Push within ten minutes. We weren't approached by anyone because everyone knew we were coming. We stopped at Seth's house first; it's closest to where we entered.
Jacob, Seth, and Leah were on the front steps eating breakfast. "Yummy," Ness said as we approached them. "Yuck," I said smiling. Ness ran over to Jacob and sat on his lap. "Can I have some?" She pleaded. "Of course," He said then kissed her cheek. I walked to Leah first and gave her a hug. "Sorry I didn't see you yesterday." Leah apologized. "It's fine." I paused. "Although, I'd much rather be with you and Seth than with Ness and Jake. All they do is kissing the whole time." I smiled. Renesmee and I were the only vampires Leah liked. She said we were the most human. "Next time just come over." She paused. "I know you'll be coming over often though." She said as I sat next to Seth. She giggled when he put his arm around me. "We're having a bonfire tonight. They added on to the legend." Jacob said to me and Ness. "Can you guys come?" Seth asked me. "Probably," I said then turned to Ness. "You should probably call Bella." I told Ness.
"Who's going," Ness asked Jacob. "All of the pack, Claire, Emily, Kim, Billy, Sue, and Old Quil." He replied then looked at me. "This will be Tessa's first time hearing the stories." He added.
"'Kay, Ness call Bella." I told her. She flipped open her phone and called Bella's cell. "Mom," She asked. "Hi, Jake wants to know if we can stay for a bonfire." She paused to listen to her mom. She smiled. "Yes, just like that one except the vamps and wolves are on better terms." I heard Bella laugh. "Thanks, Mom." She said. "Love you, bye." She hung up. "Of course, she said yes." I smiled. "Yes, no big surprise there." Renesmee said.
I leaned my head against Seth's shoulder. I felt small here. I liked it. I felt protected- even though I can protect myself.
"What happened to you?" Seth asked as we all walked inside.
"What do you mean?" I asked questioningly.
"How'd you become a vampire?" He asked.
"Let's go for a walk on the beach and I'll tell you." I said steering him out the front door. "Leah," Seth said. "Yeah," She asked. "Tell mom I'm with Tessa, 'Kay?" He asked. "Sure, bro." She said with a smile as she turned. Leah loved that Seth imprinted on me. That he was now my Seth. I laced my fingers through his fingers as we walked toward the beach. "So," He encouraged me to tell. "When I was ten years old my parents abandoned me; leaving me in the streets." He wrapped an arm around me as we walked. "I walked to my friend's house to ask for a place to stay. When I got there her mom answered and sent Kelsey- that was my friend's name, she was fourteen at the time. She said she'd let me stay in here tree house. That I could sneak in when her parents were sleeping. Her family's rich, but they never really liked me. I don't know why.
"So, for the next five years I lived in her tree house. She snuck food and water for me as well as clothes." I paused. Seth nudged me to go on. "One night I went for a walk to the store to buy some new shoes. Kelsey had given me some money. Then, a car turned around the corner and it hit me at full speed. Luckily, Edward and Bella were walking to their car." I smiled. "They were just finishing their classes. They saw me get hit and Edward ran to me. He carried me back to the house the Cullens were living in and forgot Carlisle was on a hunting trip, so he changed me." I said wrapping up my story.
"That's really sad," He said holding me close. "Not really," I smiled at him. He looked confused. "I have: Ness-practically my sister, Edward, Bella, Esme, Carlisle, Rose, Em, Jazz, Alice, Leah, Jake, the pack, and you. That's the family I've dreamt of having." I stood on my tip toes to kiss his cheek. Then, I turned his face so he was looking down at me. I went on my tip toes again to kiss him passionately. "I love you, Seth." I said after our kiss. "I love you, too, Tee." He said then kissed me again.
"We'd better go back before Jake and Ness come looking for us." I said after our fifth kiss. "'Kay," He said clasping my hand and leading me back to his house.
"Where have you guys been?" Jacob asked when we walked up the front steps of Sue's house. "We were walking on the beach." I said. "Calm down,"
"The bonfire starts in half an hour. Emily and Sue are going to start cooking up some grub." He told us. "We're having hamburgers, hot dogs, potato chips, and soda. A regular meal," He smiled at Ness. She blushed. "I'm going to throw a shirt on." Seth said when we walked into the house. I kept my hand in his and walked to his bedroom.
After he threw a green t-shirt on I kissed him for a while then we went back into the living room.
"Took you guys long enough," Ness commented. She and Jake were sitting on the couch. Leah was on the loveseat in a purple tank top with black shorts and black Vans. Her hair was now to her shoulders which made her look pretty. She looked very pleased; she was probably thinking that she couldn't have gotten a better person for her brother to imprint on. I smiled at her. "Ready to go," Leah asked. "Yep," I replied.
We all ran out the front door. We liked to race. The course was to the top of the Cliff were they held meetings. I won this race. "That's so not fair to us wolves. We can't turn wolf; we run faster when we're a wolf. You two are just unnaturally fast; even for vampires." Jacob complained "I'm the fastest in the family." I gloated. We looked at Ness. "I'm third fastest." She pouted. "Who's second," Jacob asked us. "Edward," I said in a matter-of-fact tone. "It's fun being better than him at something." I smiled. We walked out of the trees into the flat part of the Cliff. Emily, Sue, Quil, and Sam were already there. "Hi, Ness and Tee," They all said at the same time. We both giggled. "What are we? Chopped liver?" Jacob asked. "Oops we hurt Jakey Wakey's feelings." Sam laughed.
Emily came over to me and gave me a motherly hug. "Haven't seen you in a while," She whispered in my ear. Then Quil pecked me on the cheek. Sam snatched me into a huge bear hug and Sue kissed me on my forehead and hugged me. Then, I went back to my place beside Seth.
"Where's Claire," I whispered in his ear. "She's walking here with Kim, Rachael, Jared, Embry, and Paul."He replied. "Great, Paul's going to make fun of our stench." I groaned. "Don't worry about it." He said then kissed my hair.
Just then, Paul, Kim, Rachael, Jared, Embry and Claire emerged from the trees. Then, Billy and Old Quil emerged from behind them. "Hi, Ness and Tess," They all said together. That was their thing whenever the saw us together; Ness and Tess. "Hi," We said with enthusiasm. "Food's ready," Sue yelled over our commotion. Everyone went to get their food while I sat down on one of the rock 'benches'.
Seth sat down next to me and wrapped an arm around my waist and ate- three hotdogs, two hamburgers, chips, and a soda- with one hand. Leah plopped down on my other side. Her plate only occupied one hot dog and a small bag of chips. "I don't eat as much as these pigs." She smiled at Seth.
"Tee," Ness asked. "Yes,"
"The good part's about to begin," She said. "What? Are they going to eat an entire cow?" I asked sarcastically. "That's exactly what mom said." Ness laughed. I winked at her.
Billy began with the stories about Taka Aki and the Spirit Warriors. Then, when one of their own killed him and he became a wolf then got so mad he returned to a man form. Next, was Old Quil telling everyone about the strange smelling man-whose scent was sweet and smelled like bleach- they killed him because he killed some of their own. They called him the Cold Man.
Next, was when the Cold Woman- his mate- came she killed over twenty people and when a little boy said that they woman's scent was burning his nose someone ran to Taka Aki.
That story ended with Taka Aki's third wife sacrificing herself so, Taka Aki could finish off the Cold Woman. Taka Aki remained wolf forever
Next, was the story of the Cullen family. "There was a large clan of vampires passing through," Billy's majestic voice said. "We were preparing to fight, but the leader of them talked to us; the claimed to be different, so we made a treaty with them. It stated that they couldn't bite a human or cross the border without permission." He smiled at Jacob. "But, the treaty isn't broken and the rules have changed. We aren't all berserk with two vampires sitting with us as we speak." He gestured toward Ness and I. "We are fine with the fact that the Cullen family had to turn Isabella Cullen and Tessa Cullen into one of them; Jacob gave them permission to do so." He paused. "Then, when a great evil came to all of us especially the Cullens- we stepped into protect," He paused and gestured toward Renesmee. "We all protected Renesmee." Ness blushed. "Two of our brothers have imprinted on a vampire and we couldn't have asked for better ones." Billy smiled toward me and Ness who were holding hands. I'm positive Renesmee blushed.
I leaned my head against Seth shoulder. He wrapped both his arms around me; hugging me tight against him. "I'm glad you don't get cold." I said snuggling even closer to him. "Me, too," He kissed my forehead. "Love you, Seth." I smiled. "Love you, Tee." He kissed my hair. I looked at Ness and she mouthed, "I told you so." I rolled my eyes. Of course, I love Seth. How couldn't I? I asked myself. He's my Seth, now. My Seth loves me, too. My Seth, my Seth, my Seth. I love how that sounds.
"You know what?" I asked Seth. "What's that?" He asked looking at me. "You're my Seth." I smiled. "I know I am and I love it." We kissed for a while. It could have seconds, days, or months.
"Ah- hum." Someone said, interrupting our kiss. We turned to look at them. It was Ness and Jake. "We got to go. As much as I'd rather stay; it's eleven thirty. I promised mom that we'd be home before midnight." Ness said frowning. "I don't want to go, either." I said cuddling next to Seth. "Well, we have to. Sorry, Tee, we have to go." She said then kissed Jacob. "Well, I guess I got to go." I said to Seth. He didn't reply he just took my face in his hands and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed with as much passion as possible. I pulled back after what seemed like a long time.
"I love you, Tee." Seth said. "I love you too, Seth." I said then kissed him soft and quick. "Bye," I hugged him. "Bye," He said. Jacob and Seth waved as we ran through the forest.
