Hey there!!! Hope every one had a great Thanksgiving? I know I did, hahah. It was great actually, lots of food and games and family all the usual Thanksgiving so I actually rewrote chapter four like eight different times, and that's why it took so long, but here it is!
This Chapter is called Let It Roll, Cori, yes I used an All time Low Song, Just For You!!!!
Chapter Four:Let It Roll
Alone.
That was the one word that stood out the most in Ryan's head as she stood in the middle of the big group of rez teens, and to make everything worse then it already was, they were all starring at felt like she was the main attraction at a freak show, like she was the bearded lady or somehting.
Ryan's thoughts began to race, what if they hated her?What if they didn't want a non-Indian girl on their rezervation?Would they run her off?Could they run her off?Ryan was begining to panic, she never did like to be put on the spot and when she was she tended to over-react, she had gone to the doctors more then once and he had told her she was just having regular panic attacks.
She had medicine to take for it, but she'd left it at the house.A lot of good that did took a deep breath, it would be okay if she could just brearh, she closed her eyes and thought,when she opend them, they wouldn't be looking at her, she counted to ten opend her eyes and to her horror they were still starring.
She began to sway from side to side, she did this often, pass out that was.
"Hey, are you okay?"Ryan turned around to see a tall girl with long straight balck hair and the darkest eyes ever looking at her, she looked like Disney's Pocahantas.
"I think I am..."Ryan said slowly.
"Here, why don't we go sit down by the water, okay?"
Ryan nodded and let the girl grab her elbow and lead her down to the beach, she sat down so the cold frothy water touched just her toes and patted the sand beside her, motioning for Ryan to do the same, she did.
"Sorry about them, they can be a little intense."
"N-no I think I'm okay thank you."
"No problem, I've lived here my whole life and some of them still scare me.I'm Talia Blackbird by the way, nice to meet you,"she held out her hand for Ryan to take.
She did,"I'm Ryan Creswell, I live with Jacob Black now."
"Oh that's right!I remember him saying something like that a couple of days ago...hey wait here for a second okay?"Talia stood up and ran towards the group of teens.
She was back in less then a minute, with three boys by her they all looked kind of the same, the only difference was their hair and their height.
"This is Ben, my boyfriend."Talia said pointing out the tallest of the boys.
He was probably around 6'7", had long black hair that was tied back into a pony tail, bronzed skin, dark eyes and a big smile.
"This is Max Allister,"Talia said pointing to the second boy.
He was a little shorter then Ben, had short butch cut hair, a big welcoming smile and the same dark skin and eyes.
"And this is Cameron Chelsea."
Cameron was almost as tall as Ben was, had shoulder length black hair and the same skin and eyes as the rest of them, just like the others, his smile was warm and playfull.
"Hi...I'm Ryan."
"Yeah, we know,"Ben smiled.
"So Colarado, what brings you to our humble little rez?"Max asked as he plopped down beside Ryan on the beach.
"My dad is away in Europe for work, and Rachel offered to let me stay here, with her father and brother."
"Europe really?Wow are you like,rich?"Cameron asked as he sat on Ryan's other side.
"Ha, that's a laugh,me rich?No, his boss just sends him all around,"it was getting easier and easier to lie.
"Oh, well that's good, you know that he can go see the world, most of the kids on the rez haven't even been further then forks,"Talia laughed as she and Ben sat down in front of them.
"Yeah, Jake said something about that..."Ryan giggled nervously.
"So, how about a sand castle compition?"Cameron asked suddenly.
"A what?"Ryan asked dumb-founded.
"We have one whenever we come down to the beach, we try to see who can make the best sand caslte without buckets or water, you can be on my team!"Talia exclaimed excitedly.
"O-okay."Ryan stood up and followed Talia to a more remote part of the beach, the others followed.
"Okay we have ten minutes to build a kick-ass castle without a bucket or shovel, and in the end Ben will tell us who won, okay ?"Talia asked, Ryan nodded,"Go!"
Cameron and Max were working fast,Cameron making the sand wet and Max slowly building up the sides of the castle, Ryan had never even made a sand castle,let alone one by hand.
But after the ten minutes were up and she looked at her and Talia's castle, she was somewhat pleased, even though it looked more like a barn, but it great to 's castle however was fantastic, it actually had towers and everything.
"Aww,"Talia sighed,"We'll win next time."she laughed lightly.
"Yeah, sure."Ryan was elated,next time, there would be a next time. Talia actually liked her.
"Oh wait! Here!"Talia said as she plucked something off of the beach and handed it to Ryan.
Talia dropped a small crab the size of a small rock into Ryan's hand what was she supposed to do with a crab?
"I have seven of them...well actually I have six, because Max ate one they're good pets and really easy to take care of, and I know Rachel has a big fish tank you can put him in."
Ryan looked at the crab, it was small and beige she wasn't so sure that it would make a great pet, but she liked looked up and smiled a thanks at Talia.
"I like him."
"Good! Just don't let Max anywhere near him!"Talia yelled playfully.
"I told you it was a dare!"Max yelled back.
"So you like it?"Talia asked.
"Absolutly, thank you."
"Oh, here comes jake, I thinks he's coming to get you."
Ryan looked up and sure enough there was Jake standing over her, smiling, though it looked a little forced.
"Are you ready to go?"He asked.
"Bey guys."Ryan got up, brushed the sand off of her pants and followed Jake away from the beach and back into the woods.
"Do you like them?"He asked suddenly.
"Yeah, they're really nice, Talia especially."
"Yeah, they are pretty nice I guess, did they tell you anything wierd?"
"Like what?"
"Like old rez urben legends."
"No, I don't think so, the only thing Talia told me was about the old lady that lives across the road from you, I think she said her name was ?"
"Yeah, watch out for her, she's the rez gossip."
Ryan smiled,"I will, thanks."
After a while of walking in silence Jake took intrest in the crab resting neatly in the palm of her hand.
"What's that?"he asked.
"Talia gave him to me, she said they made good pets."
"Rachel has a fish tank you can put him in."
"Thanks."
"So,"Jake said after a long silence,"what are you going to name him?"
"I think I'll name him Jake, how does that sound?"Ryan asked smiling up at him.
"It sounds great."
