Chapter One

Bonfire Surprises

Tamaya smiled as she stepped out of Rayen's car then instantly shivered slightly and crossed her arms over her chest as the wind coming off the Pacific hit her. In Hawaii all the bonfire's that Tamaya had gone to had been fun but the bonfire was just there to provide light for them to see by. Tamaya was fairly certain that she would be hanging out close to the fire tonight in an effort to keep warm and she was pretty sure she would probably be the only one. Everybody else here was used to this weather but Tamaya had been stuck in sunny Hawaii for the past few years so her body temperature was a tad bit different then that of the other's around her.

Turning back to face her companions Tamaya's smile grew slightly when she saw that Rayen was also hunched over a bit with her arms crossed over her chest. Paul on the other hand was standing straight and all he wore was a basic black t-shirt. "Why is it guys can get away with not being cold but girls freeze their butts off?" Tamaya thought somewhat jealous of the fact that Paul could act like he was fine and there was no breeze to freeze them up. Noticing that Paul was looking at her Tamaya blushed slightly since she'd been caught staring but in the end she just made a face and stuck her tongue out at him because by the smirk on his lips she was pretty sure he had guessed that she was upset about freezing where he barely even reacted to the cold.

Hearing a sound Tamaya turned to see Rayen making her way to the beach where Tamaya could hear the sound of people laughing already. Putting her head down Tamaya followed her friend and by the sounds of the footsteps behind her it was obvious that Paul was also close by. Tamaya would have turned to smile at him but his smirk was still clear in her mind so she just kept her eyes to the floor to make sure she didn't trip and not long afterwards she came out on the beach where a few bonfires were burning bright. A large group of teenagers were all hanging out around the three bonfires talking, laughing and just all around having a good time.

Staying behind Rayen Tamaya still had her head down when she heard a squeal and her name. Looking up with wide eyes Tamaya was barely able to brace herself as another friend from elementary threw herself at her and it wasn't long before Tamaya was grinning and hugging her back. "Hey Rachel. I didn't know you'd be here."

As if Rachel's squeal had been a call Tamaya looked up to see a few different teenagers nearby making their way to her. Some she instantly recognized while it took her a second to remember who the others were. Within moments Tamaya had been circled by other teenagers she'd grown up with and after all the initial greetings she was dragged closer to the bonfire buy these friends. Rayen stayed beside her but Tamaya realized that at some point they had lost Paul. Shrugging slightly she stayed with her group of friends and they all caught up on what she had been up to and what they had been up to.

Tamaya wasn't surprised to hear that most of her friends were dating or had dated each other since La Push was such a small reservation but a few people were also dating people from nearby Forks. Watching the couples being all lovey dovey was beginning to make Tamaya feel a bit like a third wheel and she wound up breaking apart from the group with Ray and Rachel since neither one of them appeared to be there with anybody else either.

The three were sitting on a log close to the fire talking when a guy that neither Rachel or Ray had ever seen walked out towards the bonfire out of the woods. The three were trying to figure out who he was when a gust of wind off the ocean caused all three to curl up and protect themselves for a few moments. When they looked up again the guy was standing a few feet away from them watching the three of them. His staring was making Tamaya feel a bit uncomfortable and she turned away from him so all her attention was on her two friends. She was trying to forget about the intensity of his stare but was failing miserably.

"Tammy. Our mystery guy is staring at you." Rachel said with a soft giggle as she nudged me on the arm. Both her and Ray were giggling softly as I looked up and made eye contact with him but I was quickly looking back down at the ground hoping he hadn't caught the way my friends were making complete fools of themselves.

Of course I could understand why my friends were giggling and whispering about him. With his light brown hair, dark eyes and obviously well muscled body the guy was gorgeous. We knew he wasn't from La Push because Ray and Rachel would have known about him so we figured that he must have been from Forks. Or of course maybe he had just moved in to La Push and had come out in an effort to meet the locals before starting school. Either way Ray and Rachel kept giggling and nudging me. I wanted to smack both of them but I didn't want to cause a scene and I was trying to look around for my brother's friends so I could go talk to them and get away from my crazy friends but before I could a shadow flickered across my face.

Looking up at the guy who now stood in front of me I was a bit surprised to see that his eyes were a dark red and knew that my eyes were probably as wide as saucers. Realizing they must be contacts I let it go although for a split second I did wonder why anybody would buy red contacts. Ray and Rachel had gone quiet beside me and were also staring up at the guy with obvious awe. I kept trying to tell myself that he was just a guy but something about him pulled at me. Something about him made me want to do anything he asked so when he held out his hand to me I instantly raised my arm and placed my hand lightly in his hand. His hand was freezing but then again so was mine. As he raised my arm even more and placed a light kiss on the back of my hand I felt a shiver run down my spine and felt my friends staring at him in disbelief. We had never seen any guy do that and here a complete stranger was acting like a man in a romance novel.

"I couldn't help noticing you when I first arrived. My name is Thomas and I hope you don't think I'm too bold by walking over and jeopardizing your time like this." The guy who's name apparently was Thomas said. All I could do was stare up at Thomas and blink before a small nudge from Ray helped me find my voice.

"It's nice to meet you Thomas. My name is Tamaya and these are my friends Rachel and Rayen. Are you from around here?" I asked curiously since I was wondering why he was at the bonfire if he wasn't from La Push like every other teenager was.

"No I'm actually here to visit some friends." Thomas said as he finally released my hand. My hand seemed to have a mind of it's own and stayed in the air for a few moments without Thomas to hold it up then I blushed slightly and looked down as I lowered my hand to my lap. I couldn't believe I had just done that and hoped that nobody else had noticed how much I was behaving like a girl with her first crush.

Looking back up I tried to keep the blushing down to a minimum as my friends and I talked with Thomas about anything and everything that popped into our heads. After about a twenty minutes of talking Thomas smiled at my friends then turned to me and held out his hand again. "Would you care to join me for a bit of a walk Tamaya?"

I was speechless and after a few seconds my friends once again nudged me. It was obvious they thought I should go with the stranger and I wanted to even thought part of my brain was saying I shouldn't be wondering off alone with a guy I had just met. One look at Thomas though and the doubt seemed to fade away. Nodding slowly I put my hand in his and he helped me to my feet before guiding towards the woods. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Paul and the other guys walking back out from the woods in the same area that Thomas had first come from and they all looked anxious. When another gust of wind sent blew in from the ocean I saw the guys heads all snap up and look from me to Thomas fearfully but I couldn't think about it long since Thomas had guided me away into the darkness of the trees.

Within a few minutes Thomas and I had found a small clearing with a log stretched across it that allowed us to look out over the cliffs and towards the ocean. I took a seat on the log and pulled my knees to my chest slightly to try and keep warm. I looked over at Thomas and noticed he didn't seem cold in the least and once again I found myself getting annoyed at guys since they apparently never got cold.

After sitting in silence for a few moments I was about to open my mouth to talk to Thomas when he turned to me with a hint of a smirk and a look in his eyes that I couldn't decipher but I had a feeling it wasn't good. My brain was already screaming I told you and my legs instantly closed tightly as I wondered if he would really do anything to harm me so close to others. He wouldn't have the time to rape me since it would only take a few minutes for others to arrive if I screamed and if he tried when my brother's friends got there they'd beat him to a bloody pulp.

"You know you smell lovely once you get past that dog smell." Thomas said as he took a seat beside me and brushed my hair back away from my neck. I wasn't sure of what I should do so I just sat still and hoped that he would go back to the charming guy I'd met at the bonfire. Placing his nose against my neck Thomas inhaled deeply and I shivered as I felt his lips brushing over my skin. "I haven't smelt anybody as sweet as you in a long time."

"Uhhh……thanks." Okay so maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to say but what do you say when a complete stranger is sniffing at your neck, especially when he mentions a dog. I don't have a dog. I was completely clueless on what I should do and I just bit my lip as I squeezed my hands into fists in my pocket. If he did try anything I wasn't going down without a fight although from the way his body was built I didn't think he'd have much trouble overpowering me.

"It really is a shame." Thomas said as I felt his lips grazing lightly over the skin of my neck. I knew I should be getting up and walking away but my body just seemed unable to move at that moment.

"Wha….what's a shame?" I asked angry at myself for allowing my voice to betray the fear that was no running through my body. I knew I was at a disadvantage but at least I did know the woods fairly well. Maybe if I was able to make it to the trees I would be able to lose him there.

"That I have to kill you."

My eyes widened and I turned to look at Thomas in surprise. His eyes were a dark red and he was licking his lips as if he was ready for his meal. I pushed myself away from him and all that did was make his smirk widen. I got up and started to back away from him and he looked at me the same way a cat looks at a mouse when it knows that the mouse is trapped. I was just about to turn and run away when Thomas launched himself at me and I closed my eyes ready to be knocked over then killed on the spot but the weight of his body never came. Instead I heard growling and the sound of teeth trying to bite down on something so I slowly opened my eyes.

Thomas was now surrounded by a group of large angry looking wolves and one dark silver colored wolf seemed to be in the lead. They were all growling angrily and Thomas threw one glance my way as if he was trying to decide what to do. He took one step towards me and the dark silver wolf attacked throwing all his body weight against Thomas and knocking them back into the trees. The other wolves followed him and the sound of howling and fighting could be heard but slowly started to fade away leaving me to believe that they were moving away from me. I stared at the spot where they had disappeared in disbelief and was about to head back to the campfire when a piece of white paper caught my eyes.

Walking over to the paper I managed to pick it up before it flew away and I was surprised to see that it was a wedding invitation. Shrugging slightly I tucked the invitation into my jacket pocket then walked/ran through the forest and to the beach. I was glad to see that my friends were still there although a few people had left. I quickly made my way over to Ray and Rachel then in a hushed whisper told them everything that had happened. They had heard the howling and what sounded like a loud clap of thunder but when they looked towards the ocean the sky was clear. The stared at me doubtfully when I said that had been the wolf launching itself at Thomas but when I held out the wedding invitation they seemed to believe me a bit more. The like me began to wonder if there was any truth to the story about the Cullens' being vampires but we weren't able to discuss it for too long because out of nowhere Paul appeared and gave the sleeve of my jacket a light tug.

When I turned to look at him I was surprised to see that he looked a bit angry and wondered what had happened but didn't think it was my place to ask him. Instead I let him lead me away after telling me that my brother wanted me home. I would have protested but Ray had obviously seen the look and said she would call me later. It was obvious she didn't want to annoy Paul anymore then he already was.

When we reached the other guys they all had the same look on their faces and they all basically circled me as we made our way to the car. It could have been me but it seemed like nobody was walking in front of me and the others turned their faces slightly anytime the wind shifted sending it past me towards them. Trying to figure out what was going on I let the guys put me in Embry's car and I was stuck in the back seat with Paul while Quil and Embry sat in the front. I didn't say anything about them keeping the windows open although I was cold because all three of them were acting like there was an offensive odor in the car and part of me got the feeling that it was me.

When we pulled up to the house my brother was waiting at the door and he looked slightly scared. When I slid out of the car he quickly walked over to me and gave me a hug then quickly pulled away as he also seemed to be holding his breath. I was really beginning to get annoyed at all of this behavior and once we were all inside I quickly wheeled on all the guys present and yelled: "What the hell is going on? Why do you all act like I stepped in dog shit or something?"

For a few seconds everybody stared at me in disbelief then looked over at Sam who was staring at me to. Sighing and taking a seat in what I was already referring to as his armchair Sam lightly rubbed his temples then motioned for me to have a seat in the armchair across from him. "Tammy. We need to talk."
