Garrett
As I saw Kate stalking that bear, I knew I wanted to go hunting with her. She was so graceful and strong and fast. But she would never go hunting for humans. I guess I have to try her way then. I saw her drain and hide the body of the bear. She started running in human pace. But when she picked up the pace I grabbed her hand and ran into the centre of the meadow. I sat her down and sat next to her. I saw her looking at our hands and smile a little. I smiled when she looked up. Maybe, just maybe, she likes me a little. Score!
"What?" She asked me. "Where have you been these last 4 days? Everyone's been worried sick." I said. She didn't let go of his hand. I didn't let go either. "I was just out hunting." She finally said. "You weren't out hunting for 4 days, Katrina. What's going on?" I asked her seriously. "I can't tell you. It will hurt too much if I did." She finally told me. My expression softened. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Just come back to the house. Your family is very worried about you." I said. She smiled gratefully and we stood up and ran to the house, our hands still together. "So Kate, in a totally unrelated situation. If a guy likes a girl, and he is sure she likes him at least a little bit, what should the guy do?" I asked her. Her face fell. I guess she thought that I liked another girl. She was the only one I had eyes for.
"I think that the guy should tell the girl. If she already likes him, she should be happy to go on a date with him. But if I was the girl, I would hope the guy would do something cool to show me his feelings. But guys don't see me that way, so there isn't a chance that that would happen." She said. I wanted to yell at her for that. She was so amazing, how would guys not see her like that? She was so perfect in every way possible. "Why do you ask? Do you have a crush on a girl?" She asked. I chuckled. "Yes, you could say that. She is the most beautiful girl in the world, her eyes are so mesmerising, and her voice is so angelic. And I only have eyes for her and her only." I said, hoping she would catch up to it. But my plan failed when she let go of my hand and snapped: "Well, I hope you're happy with her then." It broke my heart to hear that. How could she not think it was her? I was holding her hand for Pete's sake. I sighed and didn't run after her. I ran up the steps of the house and saw the person I wanted to talk to.
"Hey Tanya, can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked her. She excused herself from talking to Maggie and came up to me. "What do you want, nomad?" She asked. Guess she didn't like nomads. "A guy in this room likes your sister, Kate. I wanted to know, what that guy has to do to get her attention." I asked her. "You're the guy right?" She asked. "What? No." I said and rubbed the back of my neck. "You're the guy, right?" She asked again. "OK. I am." I said. "How did you figure it out?" I asked her. "Easy. You've been following her like a lost puppy. That and you are the only single guy in the room." She stated. I looked around. Couples were all around me. I should have thought this through. "Well, now you know. Can you help me?" I asked her. She sighed. "OK. As you know, Kate likes when guys don't say it to her face. They could tell her some other way. For you, maybe going hunting with her might help." She said. I listened to every word she said. "So what you're saying is that if I go hunting with her, she will forgive me?" I asked. Tanya nodded. "If you want to see her, you can go outside. She has shield practice with Bella." She said and motioned to the back yard. I saw Kate standing there, her hand on Edward's arm. "Why?" I asked Tanya. "She can put a person flat on their back." She said. She pushed me out of the door and I walked to the training ground.
Kate was helping Bella shield Edward by using her gift of shocks on him. Hmmm. Maybe if Edward can't stand them, I could. I thought as Zafrina blinded me for a second. As my vision came back, I saw Kate with her arm raised, looking at me. As I raised my arm, she looked away. I chuckled. "Kate!" I said and came near her. Maybe I could actually withstand her shock. "Garrett, I wouldn't." Edward said. Maybe you wouldn't but I would. And stay out of my head! I shouted in my head to Edward.
"They say you can put a vampire flat on his back." I said as I slowly approached her. "Yes. Curious?" She smiled and held her palm out and wiggled her fingers playfully. I shrugged. "That's something I've never seen. Seems like it might be a bit of an exaggeration…" "Maybe," Kate said her face serious. "Maybe it only works on the weak or the young. I'm not sure. You look strong, though. Perhaps you can withstand my gift." She said. I grinned confidently. I touched my index finger on her palm, and got shocked. With a loud gasp, I fell backwards and hit my head on a piece of granite. "I told you so," Edward mumbled.
My eyelids trembled for a few seconds, but then I opened my eyes wide. I stared up to a smirking Kate, and smiled. "Wow." I said. "Did you enjoy that?" She asked. "I'm not crazy, but that was sure something." I laughed and slowly got on my knees. "That's what I hear." She said. I smiled at her. She held out her hand and I took it. "I'm sorry, if it hurt. I should have died the shocks down." She said. "No, it was fantastic." I said. She smiled at me. "Look, Kate, I wanted to talk to you. Do you want to go hunting together?" I asked her. "I can't drink humans." She stated. "No, not humans. Animals." I told her. She smiled. "Well, in that case, meet me out here at 5 o clock in the morning." She said and walked back to the house, me following her like Tanya said, a lost puppy.
