Nova, started to regain consciousness. A weak moan escaping her chapped lips. She felt as though her head was being bashed in by a brick. She drew the snug quilt around her body, feeling the warmth seep into her pores, numbing her head. 'Where am I? Shit, why am I undressed? Is this a SHIRT?! Oh, god it's like a hills have eyes crap. Wait, nova breath, you're in twilight, stuff like that doesn't happen here'
She sprung up, blanket wrapped around her shoulders like a snuggie, frame engulfed in a black shirt. 'Fuuuck, now I want a snuggie only the mermaid tail one.' Eyes widen in thought. Unaware of prying eyes at her door, watching the odd girl before them.
Jumping, Sam and Paul quickly looked toward the mysteries now laughing girl. It didn't help that her hair looked like an actual bee hive, only hues of red. Truly a remarkable sight. Frankenstein's wanna be bride, in the flesh.
"Oh, thank you sweet baby Jesus! No hills have eyes here!" throwing her blanket clad arms in the air, eyes closed
Before, plopping back into the bed, and resumed her cocoon of warmth, snoring lightly.
"Fuck" Paul couldn't contain his booming laughter. He was surprised the girl could sleep through it. But, seeing his Alpha's sheer annoyance, eye twitch included, at this girl. Priceless.
Sam wanted answers and he wanted them now.
"Paul, watch the language."
Brushing past Paul, Sam walked towards into the bedroom. He tried to shake the girl awake. She made a strangled cat noise, before trying to move more into the blankets. That sound made Paul and Sam, unconsciously turn their heads to the side, just like dogs.
Too bad Nova missed it as she tried to shove her head under her pillow
Sam moved quicker, rolling his eyes. This girl was stubborn as a rock "Hey, you need to get up uh girl, woman?" How old was she? She barely looked 16.
She moved to sit up blowing random raspberry strands out of her annoyed sliver eyes.
"Dude, seriously, I have tattoos and piercings. I'- "'Oh, right I'm 18 here. So, long tequila. Hello, darkness my old friend' "I'm 18. I'm an adult woman that can do everything, but get drunk."
"unfortunately " what Nova thought was lightly under her breath. But In reality, was as her normal voice, loud.
Paul stared at this woman. She was like a…spoiled, pink bow wearing, cat. 'Hissy, prissy fucking cat. Even her eyes look feline.' He thought drily
"All right, already I'm fucking up, hulk!"
"I'm not hulk, I'm Sam." He said it so seriously, Nova didn't know if he was joking or not
"haha" she punched his shoulder lightly, grinning awkwardly "funny sense of humor."
"What humor." He deadpanned
'Is this real life?'
After putting her now dry clothes back on, jacket between her crossed arms. Reminding herself to thank Emily for washing them.
Everyone sitting at the living room table. Nova, looked more closely at the characters in front of her.
'Does everyone seriously belong in Pocahontas here? Live action cast right here. Their all so beautiful. I'm jealous right now.' Fiddling, nervously with a loose maroon curl,
Emily, was beautiful. Glossy black hair and satiny copper skin. Nova, glanced briefly at her scars. Three long scars on the right side of her face from hairline to chin. Even going as far as her right arm to her hand. Yet, she held them with confidence. She didn't try to shy away because of them.
Her eyes moved to Sam muscles, hidden under a black fitted shirt. 'Surprised, he even owns any shirts.' Sam's face didn't look any young, but worn and tired. He carried a weight all his own. 'Probably knowing when Jacob phases, he'll always have competition for alpha.' weight of the world on his shoulders. Copper skin, cropped ebony hair and brown eyes. He was quite tall too, like almost hulk size. 'I really wonder how badass his wolf form looks.'
"So, why were you wondering around the forest so late?" Sam's deep voice, cutting her thoughts of abruptly
"Long story short. I'm Nova." Her headache continued to burn with pain, did no one have ibuprofen around here? "So, anyways, went for a hike, took a nap, woke up in the rain walking into any direction." She glanced around the room ticking off the events, as she spoke "saw a big ass wolf, was Bff's with said wolf for a while" Sharp eyes, moving to Paul who rudely interrupted her with his laughing. He stopped the second her eyes were on him. Moving her eyes away and continuing on her list "it took off, and I went to lay down, freezing. And boom I'm here. Which by the way, could I get a ride home, please?"
Sam looked at her, before nodding his head. "Yeah, I can take you."
She rose from her chair quickly. Throwing her jacket on and making her way to the door, before pausing.
'Remember, act natural.'
Flashing a smile "Sorry, I was in such a rush, I didn't even say thank you guys for finding me." Realizing she could have actually died 'in twilight no less' Nova, sounded more sincere as she continued "Seriously, though thank you, if I can repay you in any way I will."
Sam's quickly shook his head no "It's fine. No need to have to repay anything."
"oh!" looking at Emily "thank you for you know dressing me and drying my clothes"
Emily laughed looking at the weird girl in front of her "Your very welcome."
She had to play clueless "Oh, what are your names? I should have asked that first"
"I'm Sam, my fiance, Emily and that's Paul."
Paul. Was currently shoving a sandwich in his mouth
After being dropped off, Nova went straight for the shower
Emerging, from the steam of the bathroom, she moved to her bed. Sleep didn't come to her that night, tossing and turning.
1 a.m. blared, angrily red at Nova. Her face the colors of pink and blue, from her lava lamp, laying against her pillow.
Sighing, she grabbed her jacket off the floor, and headed for the garden. Stopping in the kitchen, tapping her foot, expression thoughtful. "If I were alcohol in this practical magic looking house where might I be." Moving, towards the door, she moved into the living room. A book case pressed against the left wall, caught her eye. She looked for a magical kind of book.
Grasping the worn spine, she pulled The Hobbit out. Opening it, she discovered a fake compartment. In it, lay a gold flask. Hopefully, with something strong. Twisting it open, she took a whiff 'Yep, defiantly whiskey.' Taking a hearty swing, made her way to the back porch, the cold soothing her flushed cheeks.
Her silver eyes seemed to glow in the moonlight. Taking small sips of whiskey, letting it warm her. Sitting down on the stairs, that lead into the garden. She pressed her feet into the soft grass.
A light, breeze drifting by. She closed her eyes, head to the sky, breathing in the fresh air.
Humming, do you believe in magic
Standing up, a like white later. She walked back inside to her bed.
Over the next few weeks, Nova stayed home 'Well, I guess it's home now. No going back to Alaska.' She took the time to either be inside exploring the old house. Or, she could be found in the garden on sunny days. And on rainy days, sitting wrapped up on the bench, with a steaming black cup of joe.
She hung out with Bella, when she wasn't with Edward the mind-reader or Alice seer into the future. Meaning not that often. But what Bella lacked, she made up though texting Nova, almost every day. Bella, was slowly starting to grow on her.
She laid in bed peacefully. Sleep coming easy, like most nights recently.
"Is this a fucking joke." His shaky hand throwing down, the invitation for none other than Bella and Edwards's wedding, storming out of the house. His hands moving to his shirt.
She quickly moved to stand closely in front of him, ignoring the rain. Her hand resting on his cheek. The shakes rippling through his body stopping, momentarily.
"Please don't do this Jacob. Not now."
She leaned her forehead against his, eyes closed. The rain around them fading, it was just them, in this moment.
"Let her go, it's time to move on with your life." Her voice shaky
Warm breath merging together, so close together. He ripped away from her, leaving a gap between them
"He's a vampire! He'll turn her into a leech!"
"Then so be it! That's what they both want. Things change , friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anyone. You need to live for yourself" breathing deeply, she looked at him, rain blurring his image "You need to put yourself first. Not the pack, Bella,.. not me. Just you"
His eyes looked at her so intensely with something she couldn't begin to describe. It was love or anger or any emotion she seemed to know.
"I'll be back. I, promise, Nova Murphy."
Before phasing into the forest
Nova woke with a gasp, looking around the room. 'What in the fuck was that. That took place in breaking dawn. Am I seeing what is about to occur or will occur with me being here? What happened to the being friends not friends with benefits.'
And what was that incessant noise, 'Oh, knocking on the door, good lord how is even awake at' she glanced at the clock 'really at 7 in the morning' growing annoyed she grabbed a nearby cardigan, while making her way down the stairs. Looking, at one of the many small mirrors as she walked, at least her hair looking semi okay today "Alright, I'm coming!"
Nova yanked the door open harshly
"Are you fucking serious?!"
Eyes widen in realization 'I'm in a literally fucking twilight zone right now!'
"Well aren't you going to invite us in?"
She knew that fucking bubbly voice
Till next time,
