DISCLAIMER: NO I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT

I DO OWN THIS STORY THOUGH AND THE CHARACTERS THAT I'VE CREATED FOR THIS STORY.

There is ONE person that has reviewed for the previous chapter and thats Team Emmett. I'm not going to deny her the story, that wouldn't be fair. I don't know how this story is going, but I really want to know what you all think of whats going to happen. Please read and review.

Jayla's POV

"How do you think they're gonna take it 'dox? I don't want them to be insulted or anything"

"They won't" Maddox reassured me "they'll understand" he nodded.

"If you're sure" I looked at him hesitantly.

"But you're asking" Maddox nodded at me and smiled.

"Fine" I rolled my eyes as we walked up the steps and into the house. "Mum, dad, we're home"

"Hey you two" Mum smiled, her and dad were on the couch watching TV. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" I shook my head. Me and Maddox were standing next to each other. He nudged me to talk. "Alright" I whispered and glared at him. "We were wondering, if we could have a couple of friends come over tonight...for the tribe meeting?"

"Here? At the house?" dad asked "are you sure you wanna do that? I mean, won't they get freaked out seeing that your parents are two seventeen year old kids?"

"That's the thing dad..." I began and took a deep breath "maybe it would be easier if you didn't say that you were our parents"

"What do you want us to say?" mum looked at me, I could tell by her reaction she was slightly upset but at the same time understood the situation.

"I don't know" I said looking at my feet "that's the part I was having trouble coming up with, Maddox wasn't any help" I looked at him. He hit me again. I deserved that.

"I got it" mum nodded and smiled at us both

"What do you mean 'you got it'? Have you thought of a good excuse that there are four seventeen year olds in the house with no grown ups what-so-ever?" dad looked at mum "figuratively speaking"

"Where's Billy?" mum asked dad.

"Fishing trip with Charlie and Tobias" dad said as he wrapped his arm around her.

"Fish hook" mum shuddered and looked at her palm. Dad took her hand and kissed it to which she blushed.

"Anyway, Maya...what were you saying that you 'got it'?"

"Jake, clearly we don't exactly look like Jayla and Maddox" she looked at the both of us and then at dad "we could just say we're their cousins that are living with them indefinitely"

"Who's related to them? You or me with this whole 'cousin' situation?" dad asked her

"Wanna go with...me?" she looked at dad "and you're my husband, we were recently just married a couple of months ago"

Wow, mum was really quick thinking when it came to plausible alibis and everything. I wouldn't have thought of mum being my cousin and them staying here indefinitely. "So we're going to tell them that we got married at a young age?" Dad looked at her

"Pretty much" she nodded "that's is how it all went anyway, we got married at this age"

"Good" dad said as he kissed her on the lips "so that way Maddox and his friends can back off and know that you are taken"

"I'll make it clear to them dad" 'dox said putting his palms up to signal defeat.

"Great" I smiled "so they're coming in an hour...so...yeah do what you guys were doing before" I said as I headed to my room.

"One more thing..." dad called out from the living room. Me and Maddox looked at each other, sighed and made our way to the living room where mum and dad were still watching TV. "You can't get freaked out about me and your mum being all couply, because we're your cousins not parents. So even though you are dying to show everyone what you ate for lunch today, you have to hold it in"

They were right, we couldn't freak out. I mean I didn't mind, but Maddox did, maybe it's because they were our parents. But the good thing is that they looked like two normal seventeen year olds that were in love. "And...you have to call us by our first names" mum added

"Maya and Jacob?" Maddox asked. Clearly, you idiot. What are we supposed to call them? Bonnie and Clyde?

"Those are the ones 'dox" mum nodded "it's the only way to make this story believable. So you have to get used to doing it now"

"So, we got the whole situation of you two done, but what about the alibi for our parents not being here?" I was thinking of all these possible situations that would happen. Maddox on the other hand wouldn't even think of anything. He would probably say something that would sound ridiculous.

"Tell them that your dad went fishing with his in-laws" dad answered

"And mum?" Maddox asked

"Currently house sitting for a friend in Forks" she smiled. And that was done, the alibi was set.

I was in my room, readying myself for the tribal meeting. I mean, I don't dress with anything traditional; I just wear a feather ornament for my hair or something. In the background I could hear a knock on the door. "I'll get it" Maddox answered. It must be his friends. I was thinking about my mum and dad, how many years were they married and they still managed to still love and care about each other for that long? "Jayla! Your friends are here too!" I heard him yell out.

"Oh crap" I said to myself as I ran toward the front door. And there they were there. I saw them standing behind Maddox's friends. They must know each other or something. "Come in" I said as I stood back and opened the door a bit wider. We had led them into the living room. I was expecting mum and dad to be there watching TV, but they weren't.

"So where are your parents?" Caleb asked us "do we get to meet Mr and Mrs. Black?" Well, you are but not officially calling them my parents.

"Nah not today dude" Maddox shook his head. Let's see if he can remember what the alibi was without me filling in for him. I looked at him as he looked at me for the 'ok go' signal "Mum's gone house-sitting for a friend of hers in Forks; dad's gone fishing with the in-laws"

"K" Caleb nodded and that was that. I was relieved that Maddox did remember. He glared at me. I didn't say it out loud, but I think he had an inkling feeling that I thought that.

"Jayla, Maddox...get your butts in the kitchen!" I heard mum's voice from the kitchen

"Who's that?" Jasmine asked

"That's my m-" I began

"Maya" Maddox interrupted "our cousin" he glared at me. My eyes widened, I almost gave away the thing we were covering up. Good thing he was there to save my butt "Just chill here for a bit, I'll go see what my cousin wants" We left them to sit in the living room to watch TV and headed into the kitchen. And there was mum, if you saw her she just looked like your typical teenage girl. It was weird if you thought about it, but mum said we were never normal, and to me that was a good thing

"So I guess you've told them the 'story' yet?" she smiled at me and Maddox

"Yeah its all systems go" I smiled

"Great" she picked up the tray of sandwiches and gave them to Maddox "put that on the coffee table" she ordered. Even though she looked like a teenager, she did act like our mum, it was cute.

"Yes mu-" He began. Maddox almost slipped up, but mum looked at him and he immediately corrected himself. Lucky she was there to stop him. I wonder what would happen if neither of us weren't here to remind each other "Maya"

"Better" she smiled "but you have to be careful you don't slip up. The both of you"

We went back into the living room where they had comfortably sat down on the couches and chairs "She wanted me to get the sandwiches and yeah" Maddox said as he put them on the table. Maddox's friends immediately pounced on the food; trust Maddox to find friends that eat exactly like him.

"Hey guys I'm gonna go out for a bit to visit the Cullen's so-" Mum walked into the room and stopped the moment she saw that everyone stared at her when she entered "Hi"

"Well hello there" Maddox's friends immediately stood up and went over to her "I'm Caleb 'Desperado' Despoja and this is Zackary Blair"

"Nice to meet you" she nodded and shook their hands "and from what I take, you must be Jayla's friends?"

"Yeah" I nodded "Ellie Valencia, Samantha Geyer and Jasmine Bartelle"

"Well it was nice to meet you, but like I said I've got people to visit" she said as she grabbed her car keys from the bowl.

"Where you going Maya?" Maddox asked, it sounded so weird for him to be calling her that. I guess it would be weird for me to be calling her Maya as well.

"Wow, your cousin is so pretty" Sam whispered to me.

"Its funny, she looks exactly like you almost" Jasmine observed. My eyes widened slightly but I controlled that and smiled.

"The Cullen's" she smiled she said as she headed to the door again.

"So Maya...you wouldn't happen to be single would you?" Caleb asked. Me and Maddox looked at each other. Don't tell me that one of Maddox's friends is trying to make a pass at our mum, in front of their own children. One; that's not nice to watch, two; if my dad were here...he would gladly let you know the marital status of my mum with his fists doing the talking.

"No, sorry" she shook her head and smiled "I'm actually married to-"

"Hey babe" dad had busted in and kissed her on the lips. He didn't have a shirt on, as if this situation couldn't get even more awkward for Maddox and me.

"Gone for a run again?" Mum looked at him. When mum says 'run' she means 'did you phase again?' Dad was probably out hunting for sport or hanging out with his tribe members.

"One in the same" he nodded, he then looked at the people in the room "Jayla and Maddox's friends?" They all nodded in unison. "Where you goin'?" he asked mum.

"Cullens" she nodded "coming?"

"Yeah" he said as he opened the door for Maya and started to head out.

"Jake" she called out to him "put a shirt on." He sighed and ran back into the house, mum waited by the door and a couple of seconds later they were ready to go. "Alright, we're going now. Jay, Dox...remember your parents want the house to be kept clean" she emphasised the word. Me and Maddox nodded. "Great, we'll see you in a bit for the tribe meeting"

"Married?" Jasmine looked at me "your cousin is married? She's only seventeen yeah?"

"Yes" I nodded "but her and Jacob have been together for a really long time"

"He's a lucky guy" that Caleb guy nodded "their children are gonna be the hottest things"

Maddox and I looked at each other and smirked. If only they knew. A couple of hours had passed and everyone had made there way down to First Beach. Ellie, Sam and Jasmine were really excited because they had heard stories about the tribal meetings that the Quileutes would hold at First Beach but never knew anyone to be invited along, and here they were invited by me to come along and listen to stories, legends and learn about my people. Everyone had sat down around the camp fire; I had sat between Ellie and Jasmine. Maddox was sitting with Caleb and Zackary, of course. And then we were surrounded by mine and Maddox's godparents. Leah, Seth, Sam, a heavily pregnant Emily, Jared, Kim, Quil, Claire and Embry. Mum was sitting at the head of the circle, everyone was looking at her, and I saw the reflection of the fire dancing in her eyes. She looked at me and smiled softly, I knew it killed her to have to pretend that she wasn't my mum. Dad had come now and the tribal meeting was about to begin.

"I would like to welcome the new people that our cousins have bought to hear the story of the Quileutes tonight. So to Maddox and Jayla's friends, we say welcome" Dad said looking at all of us. The Quileutes looked up at me and Maddox and understood why dad said the word 'cousin' instead of 'children.' "This is a very special night, for on this is the night, many, many, many, many years ago. A rogue Quileute wolf, running away from all he knew, all he loved and all he wanted to leave behind; had met his princess" he began. Out of all the stories I've heard, I never heard this one before. I heard the fire crackling as dad continued his story "This was a wolf that was filled with pain. He had fled to a far away forest wanting to forget. But suddenly, a noise startled him and he had turned back into the form that the spirits had originally made him" he looked at mum; it was her turn to speak.

"The princess heard the wolf's cries and had run to the forest to seek out what had made this noise" she looked around the circle, everyone was listening intently "the princess had entered the forest and saw the transformed boy of the Quileute tribe in his human form"

"And that very moment he laid his eyes on her, he never wanted to lay eyes on anything else" dad immediately finished.

"But, she was scared, nervous and curious to what brought him to this forest, the land of her tribe, the Makah tribe" there was that sparkle in her eye when she said that.

"So she spoke to the Quileute boy, and he immediately was entranced by her every word, wanting to get to know her more and more"

"She too was hesitant but had opened up to the Quileute boy. As she tended to him, gave him food and a roof over his head...they soon became friends...and eventually they had fallen in love" my mum sighed. There was a soft 'awww' that had escaped Sam, Ellie and Jasmine's mouths as they were daydreaming of the story happening. This was such a beautiful story, like it was nice. And mum sounded like she was on cloud nine when she spoke of it.

"But, the world was against these two being together, the spirits were angered and they had sent another man from another tribe to claim her heart. He was a member of the Chimakum people, the people who are able to transform into bears" Dad said softly "the Quileute and the Chimakum boy had set a battle in order to win the princess' heart"

"Once discovering this, the princess had run away, to a land that she never knew, and made friends with the blood-drinkers"

"Blood-drinkers?" Ellie whispered to me.

"Vampires" I answered back. I stared at my mum and dad as they continued to tell us the story.

"The blood-drinkers had helped her, and had protected her from the Chimakum people and the man sent to claim her as her own" my mum sighed and looked at dad.

"The Quileute warrior had found her and begged her to marry him and they could now run away together and live their lives away from the life that was planned out for them"

"But, on the wedding day. The Chimakum people had banded against the Quileutes and the blood-drinkers and a battle took place. With the help of the blood-drinkers and the Quileutes making an alliance together, the Chimakum people were destroyed and the princess and the Quileute warrior got married. And she too could now posses the power of the Quileute, she could transform into a wolf. She became bonded with him in spirit" Mum said as she held dad's hand "and from that day on, they have never left each others sides"

"And to this day, if you ever see a pack of just two wolves, that is the Makah Princess and the Quileute warrior, always by each others side...'til death do them part" Dad looked at me, Maddox and everyone else in the circle.

"Woah" Ellie breathed out softly.

"That was awesome" Jasmine whispered at me "your cousins are great story tellers"

"Yeah" I nodded softly. I looked at mum and dad, the way they gazed at each other, the way the spoke so lovingly when they told us this story. It finally clicked; I looked at Maddox who had the same realisation as I did. This wasn't just any story...it was theirs. After the tribe meeting, everyone was associating with each other. I had walked over to my friends. "So what did you think of the tribe meeting?"

"I loved it" Jasmine smiled "and the story that your cousins had told was just amazing, that was a beautiful love story"

"Yeah" I nodded as I looked at my mum and dad who were talking to Sam and Emily.

"Ah Wesley! Nice of you to join us at the end of the tribal meeting" I heard Seth call out. The girls and I turned around, not believing what we had heard. And there he was. Wesley Harper. What the hell was he doing here?

"Wow, this tribal meeting is interesting" Jasmine smiled. I ran toward Seth who was talking to Wesley.

"Seth" I called out to him.

"Ah hey, Jayla" he smiled "this is my friend-"

"Wesley Harper" I answered.

"Oh so you know each other?" he smiled "excellent"

"From school" Wesley nodded "I didn't know that you were part of the Quileute tribe"

"They are" Seth nodded "did you know that their parents are the tribal leaders?"

"Oh, well where are they?"

"They are-" I kicked him on the shin; any more he would've given away my family's secret.

"Away, temporarily. My cousins were kind enough to replace them for the day." I answered and glared at Seth who almost gave my family's secret away "what are you doing here?"

"I was invited by yours truly" Wesley said as he patted Seth on the back.

"Well, I'll let you get to it then" I said as I walked away.

"By the way Jayla..." Wesley called out. I turned around and looked at him "It was great meeting you today"

I smiled and walked toward my friends. That would have to be the best tribal meeting ever.

Maddox's POV

We had arrived at our home, got our bags and walked toward the house. "How do you think they're gonna take it 'dox? I don't want them to be insulted or anything"

"They won't" I shook my head "They'll understand" I nodded, at least...I hope they'll understand.

"If you're sure"

"But you're asking" I immediately shot out. I shotgun not to ask them.

"Fine" she rolled her eyes as we made it to the front steps and walking into the house. "Mum, dad, we're home"

"Hey you two" Mum smiled, her and dad were on the couch watching TV. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" she shook her head. What are you waiting for Jayla? Out with it. I nudged her to give her a little bit more encouragement. "Alright" she whispered and glared at me "We were wondering, if we could have a couple of friends come over tonight...for the tribe meeting?"

"Here? At the house?" dad asked "are you sure you wanna do that? I mean, won't they get freaked out seeing that your parents are two seventeen year old kids?"

"That's the thing dad..." she took a deep breath. I was trying to distract myself by staring at the ceiling fan "maybe it would be easier if you didn't say that you were our parents"

"What do you want us to say?" mum looked at Jayla. She was upset by what was said, which was exactly why I didn't want to ask. Mum could make you feel guilty within a time of 0.01 seconds. It was her gift.

"I don't know" she said looking at her feet "that's the part I was having trouble coming up with, Maddox wasn't any help" she looked at me. Thanks Jayla, here I am supporting you and you say something like that. I couldn't help but nudge her again.

"I got it" mum nodded and smiled at us both. Got what? She understood? Or got that me and Jayla were terrible children and we're spawns of evil?

"What do you mean 'you got it'? Have you thought of a good excuse that there are four seventeen year olds in the house with no grown ups what-so-ever?" dad looked at mum "figuratively speaking"

"Where's Billy?" mum asked dad.

"Fishing trip with Charlie and Tobias" dad said as he wrapped his arm around her.

"Fish hook" mum shuddered and looked at her palm. Dad took her hand and kissed it to which she blushed. Ew, I should really make a rule about public displays of affection when it came to Romeo and Juliet on the couch there.

"Anyway, Maya...what were you saying that you 'got it'?"

"Jake, clearly we don't exactly look like Jayla and Maddox" she looked at the both of us and then at dad "we could just say we're their cousins that are living with them indefinitely"

"Who's related to them? You or me with this whole 'cousin' situation?" dad asked her

"Wanna go with...me?" she looked at dad "and you're my husband, we were recently just married a couple of months ago"

I think I had just realised where I got most of my quick thinking and making up stories came from. Mum. No doubt she must've pulled stunts like that on Grandpa Tobias when she was younger. What a rebel child. "So we're going to tell them that we got married at a young age?" Dad looked at her

"Pretty much" she nodded "that's is how it all went anyway, we got married at this age"

"Good" dad said as he kissed her on the lips. That really needs to stop. Here's an idea...every time they kiss...I get a dollar. At this rate...I'll be rich by the end of the month "So that way Maddox and his friends can back off and know that you are taken"

"I'll make it clear to them dad" I said putting my hands up in the air. Dad was very protective of mum, and it would be weird and disturbing seeing my friends do that.

"Great" I smiled "so they're coming in an hour...so...yeah do what you guys were doing before" Jayla said as she headed to her room, I headed off to mine.

"One more thing..." dad called out to us. Jay and I sighed and walked back to the living room. There was a condition of this whole thing in order to make it work. "You can't get freaked out about me and your mum being all couple, because we're your cousins not parents. So even though you are dying to show everyone what you ate for lunch tody, you have to hold it in" he said. I think that was mainly directed at me. Well...at least they weren't old people being overly affectionate to each other...that's just...wrong. They just looked like a normal teenage couple...who happen to be married...and have seventeen year old children.

"And you have to call us by our first names" mum added.

"Maya and Jacob?" I asked. It was so weird calling them that. I only call them by their first names when I'm mad at them. This is just weird.

"Those are the ones 'dox" mum nodded "it's the only way to make this story believable. So you have to get used to doing it now"

"So, we got the whole situation of you two done, but what about the alibi for our parents not being here?" Jayla asked. Damn you Jayla! They already planned it out for us and you wanna go and jeopardise it! Do you really want to just tell everyone what our family is and who we choose to hang out with?

"Tell them that your dad went fishing with his in-laws" dad answered

"And mum?" I asked

"Currently house sitting for a friend in Forks" she smiled. And that was done, the alibi was set.

I waited in my room, where I watched a DVD. Mum and dad had been educating us in our tastes of music, mum had so far corrupted Jayla...and dad's taste in DVD's weren't half bad. I was watching 'Hell Boy' but I was interrupted when there was a knock on the door and from the sounds that were coming from the front door that would be Caleb and Zackary. "I'll get it" I said as I ran from the other side of the house. I opened the door and it wasn't just Caleb and Zackary, they all must've done a convoy or something because along with them standing at the front of the door was Ellie, Sam and Jasmine.

"Hey man" Caleb nodded

"Hey Maddox" Jasmine smiled at me. I nodded in greeting and then turned my head inside the house "Jayla! Your friends are here too!"

A couple of seconds later Jayla was standing next to me, we opened the door and let them in. We all led them into the living room, we were expecting mum and dad to be there but they weren't. "So where are your parents?" Caleb asked "do we get to meet Mr and Mrs. Black?"

"Nah not today dude" I shook my head "mum's gone house-sitting for a friend of hers in Forks, dad's gone fishing with the in-laws"

"K" he nodded.

"Jayla, Maddox...get your butts in the kitchen!" I heard my mum call out to us.

"Who's that?" one of the girls asked.

"That's my m-" Jayla began

"Maya" I interrupted "our cousin" after I said that I glared at her. If she keeps slipping up, we're going to get busted for sure. "Just chill here for a bit, I'll go see what my cousin wants"

We walked in, and there was Mu- Maya in her skinny leg jeans and a grey long sleeve sweater. She made sandwiches for us and them. She looked up and me and Maddox and smiled "So I guess you've told them the 'story' yet?"

"Yeah its all systems go" Jayla nodded.

"Great" she picked up the tray of sandwiches and gave them to me "put that on the coffee table"

"Yes mu-" Mum looked at me immediately and raised her eyebrow "Maya"

"Better" she smiled "but you have to be careful you don't slip up. The both of you"

Me and Jayla went back into the living room. "She wanted me to get the sandwiches and yeah" I said as I placed them on the table. Caleb and Zack where the first ones to dive in. Followed by Ellie, Sam and Jasmine who got their sandwiches in a more polite way.

"Hey guys I'm gonna go out for a bit to visit the Cullen's so-" mum walked into the room and stopped mid-sentence when she noticed everyone looking at her. "Hi" she smiled.

"Well hello there" Caleb and Zackary immediately shot up out of their seats to shake her hand "I'm Caleb 'Desperado' Despoja and this is Zackary Blair"

"Nice to meet you" she nodded and shook their hands "and from what I take, you must be Jayla's friends?"

"Yeah" Jayla nodded "Ellie Valencia, Samantha Geyer and Jasmine Bartelle"

"Well it was nice to meet you, but like I said I've got people to visit" she said as she grabbed her car keys from the bowl.

"Where you going Maya?" I asked. It was so weird calling her by first name.

"The Cullen's" she smiled she said as she headed to the door again.

"So Maya...you wouldn't happen to be single would you?" Caleb asked. Me and Jayla looked at each other and then looked at mum. That is just disgusting Caleb, not cool, not right, imagine if dad were here when he asked that. He would be a dead man walking.

"No, sorry" she shook her head and smiled "I'm actually married to-"

"Hey babe" Jacob came in and kissed her immediately on the lips. He was topless – again. What the hell dad?

"Gone for a run again?" Maya asked him. Emphasis on the run, dad must've been hanging around the Quileutes again. Lucky jerk. When the hell am I gonna phase?

"One in the same" he nodded, he then looked at the people in the room "Jayla and Maddox's friends?" They all nodded in unison. "Where you goin'?" he asked mum.

"Cullens" she nodded "coming?"

"Yeah" he said as he opened the door for Maya and started to head out.

"Jake" she called out to him "put a shirt on." He sighed and ran back into the house, mum waited by the door and a couple of seconds later they were ready to go. "Alright, we're going now. Jay, Dox...remember your parents want the house to be kept clean" she emphasised the word. Jayla and I nodded. Trust mum to know a way to order us around, even though she was pretending to be our cousin, the hidden message was there. "Great, we'll see you in a bit for the tribe meeting"

It was time from the tribal meeting. It was always around this usual time. The sun was setting; the fire was set up, thanks to Seth. "Come on, the meeting is about to begin" mum said as she was heading out the door. We all followed after her. Jayla was with her friends and I was walking with my friends. Zackary and Caleb wouldn't shut up on how hot my 'cousin' was.

"Man, she is so hot dude! And she's married, that is the biggest downer ever" Caleb sighed.

"Dude, can it. She's married" I looked at him. To my DAD.

"Such a young age" Zackary sighed "damn it"

We all had sat down around the camp fire. Caleb and Zackary had bought marshmallows because the thought of fire meant they could bring marshmallows. I didn't mind, as long as I got to eat them too.

Mum had sat exactly parallel to me and Jayla. So she could see us. And there they were, sitting down one by one, the Quileutes who I grew up with and were practically another adopted family. Mum smiled at me and Jayla, we all went quiet as dad had approached.

"I would like to welcome the new people that our cousins have bought to hear the story of the Quileutes tonight. So to Maddox and Jayla's friends, we say welcome" Dad nodded. The rest of the tribe members looked at Jayla and me as they nodded and smiled at the friends that we had bought to one of our tribes meetings. I could see from the corner of my eye that Despo was checkin' out Leah. I wanted to hit him on the shoulder. I couldn't help but feel jealous. Leah looked at me and smiled, and I nodded and smiled back in return.

"Dude, she's hot" Caleb whispered to me agreeing with Despo.

"Shut up my d- I mean, my cousin is talking" I corrected myself.

"...for on this is the night, many, many, many, many years ago. A rogue Quileute wolf, running away from all he knew, all he loved and all he wanted to leave behind; he had met his soul mate" This was new. I don't think I heard this one before; my favourite story was when the Quileutes got their powers and used it to protect the Makah and other tribes. "This was a wolf that was filled with pain. He had fled to a far away forest wanting to forget. But suddenly, a noise startled him and he had turned back into the form that the spirits had originally made him"

"The princess heard the wolf's cries and had run to the forest to seek out what had made this noise" mum had added in the parts of the story that she new. This was the first time mum had ever spoken and told a story at the tribal meeting, I guess she was a little bit comfortable about this story "the princess had entered the forest and saw the transformed boy of the Quileute tribe in his human form"

"And that very moment he laid his eyes on her, he never wanted to lay eyes on anything else" dad added. I couldn't help it, but my inside started to cringe, seeing dad look and speak all mushy gushy, didn't settle my stomach properly.

"But, she was scared, nervous and curious to what brought him to this forest, the land of her tribe, the Makah tribe" The Makah tribe, where mum had come from. Grandpa was still the leader of it and going strong as ever, and Aunt Nida was the second in command.

"So she spoke to the Quileute boy, and he immediately was entranced by her every word, wanting to get to know her more and more" Dad, why did you have to get all the mushy stuff? I thought to myself.

"Once discovering this, the princess had run away, to a land that she never knew, and made friends with the blood-drinkers" I began to think, we were friends with the Cullen's they were vampires, and mum and them were friends before Jay and me were born. Is this the story of how mum and dad met? "The blood-drinkers had helped her, and had protected her from the Chimakum people and the man sent to claim her as her own" I saw the look mum had given him, and the way dad would look at her, yep. That was their story.

"The Quileute warrior had found her and begged her to marry him and they could now run away together and live their lives away from the life that was planned out for them"

"But, on the wedding day. The Chimakum people had banded against the Quileutes and the blood-drinkers and a battle took place. With the help of the blood-drinkers and the Quileutes making an alliance together, the Chimakum people were destroyed and the princess and the Quileute warrior got married. And she too could now posses the power of the Quileute, she could transform into a wolf. She became bonded with him in spirit" Mum said as she held dad's hand. This is definitely their story "and from that day on, they have never left each others sides"

"And to this day, if you ever see a pack of just two wolves, that is the Makah Princess and the Quileute warrior, always by each others side...'til death do them part" Dad looked at me and nodded slightly, I think that was a way to tell me that it was what I was thinking.

The tribe meeting was over, but everyone had chosen to stay and talk for a bit. "Dude that was so trippy" Caleb nodded "your cousins are like so, like...awesome"

"And hot" Zackary nodded "like, Maya is"

"Alright enough talk about how hot Maya is" I glared at them.

"Maddox" I heard a familiar voice call my name, I turned around and there was Leah smiling at me.

"Leah" I nodded monotonously "what's up?"

"Nothing much" she shook her head. She looked behind me.

"Oh that's Caleb and Zackary, my friends from school"

"Hey" she smiled

"Hey" they both nodded.

"Leah, I hate to be rude, but I'm really tired and my friends need to get home so..." I said as I turned away and walked toward my friends.

"Dude, what the hell?" Caleb asked "she's gorgeous"

"Keep walking" I said as I headed toward the house, with Caleb and Zackary following behind me.
