Chapter 6
I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing,
were just one big family
It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Jason Mraz – I'm yours
That night's sleep was the best I's had in years. I felt so rested when I woke in the morning. I practically skipped out to the table for breakfast. Embry gave me a strange look, like he knew exactly what had happened last night. I guess he was the one that carried me to bed, but I couldn't picture Embry kissing me on the head. That would have just been a little strange, especially for Embry.
"Someone is in a good mood" dad smiled as I sat down.
"Just slept well I guess" I smiled back.
I grabbed a slice of toast and took a big bite. Embry swallowed the last of his breakfast and walked out to the car. I kissed dad on the cheek and followed Embry to the car. Quil was getting a lift with Jacob today, so it was a quick drive to school. Angie came running over to us with the biggest smile on her face; she definitely had some good news.
"Hey I guess Trin isn't the only one who is in a good mood this morning," he joked.
"I have the most awesome news," she giggled and pulled me away from Embry.
I assumed she wanted to talk privately. When she was sure Embry was out of ear shot, she turned to me and smiled widely again.
"Well tell me!" I laughed.
"Okay, but you have to promise not to say anything," she made me swear that I wouldn't tell a soul and then continued, "Seth asked me to the winter dance."
I squealed at the same time she did. I couldn't believe I had done that, but it was so cute. Seth was such a sweet kid and he would treat Angie right, even if he was a little younger than her.
"That's great!" I hugged her.
I looked over at Embry who was smiling about something. I followed his gaze over to Seth, Colin and Brady; they were walking over to him. I noticed Seth taking peeks towards us and blushing. He just kept getting cuter. I knew the boys weren't going to let him live it down.
We walked to class talking about what she was going to wear. I hadn't even been thinking about the dance, but that was mainly because I had never been to a dance of any kind before. It was a new thing for me and it was a little nerve racking. It seemed to be all Angie wanted to talk about. It was like she had never been asked to do something by a guy before.
By lunch Angie had everything she wanted planned out; from what she was going to wear to what time she wanted Seth to drop her home. We walked over and sat down with the guys, minus Embry and Jacob. It didn't surprise me; Jacob had always disappeared at lunch since he got back. I just assumed he didn't want to be around me for what ever I had done. As hard as I tried to not let it get to me, it still did. What did surprise me was when Embry returned, Jacob came with him. He still wouldn't look at me though.
The boys started talking about the dance too. I could see what they were up to, they all already knew that Seth had asked Angie to the dance and now they were just picking on him. Both Angie and Seth were turning beetroot red.
"How about we leave them alone and talk about something else," I gave them my best death stare.
They all whined, but dropped the subject and talked about some football game from the other night. Seth gave me a look of thanks and Angie just smiled. I could tell Seth really liked Angie. It was nothing like the love Kim and Jared shared or Emily and Sam, but the attraction was still there. Love is truly a curious thing.
When I got to English I didn't expect too much, because that's what I had been getting the last few lessons. I sat in my seat and got my books out of my bag, Jacob hadn't arrived yet. He still wasn't there when the teacher started the lesson. We continued the lesson with the teacher giving us a partner assignment. I hoped that we would be able to pick our partners; Angie and I were eyeing each other off knowing we wanted each other as a partner. Unfortunately the teacher already had the pairs picked out.
"Angie Matthews, your partnered with Cassie Turner" The teacher droned on.
I looked over at Angie who began banging her head lightly on the table. Cassie Turner was your typical bimbo. She would flick her hair over her shoulder and bat her eyelashes and all the boys would drool, the only thing that she had to worry about was that her IQ was probably the same as a goldfish. Angie was definitely going to be doing all of that assignment.
"Katrina Moore, your partner will be Mr. Black if he ever decides to show up."
Now it was my turn to bang my head. Of all the kids in my class, why did it have to be him? I glared down at the assignment sheet. Right on cue as if he was called, Jacob walked through the door.
"Well then Mr. Black nice of you to finally join us," he spoke sarcastically to Jacob.
Jacob didn't say a word; he was good at ignoring people I had noticed. The teacher walked over and handed Jacob his assignment paper.
"You've been partnered with Katrina," he told him before returning to his desk.
"Who's Katrina?" Jacob asked me.
I looked over at him in shock, could he really be that stupid. He didn't look at me; he just read the papers in front of him.
"You have got to be kidding me," I sighed laying my head on the table.
"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked angrily, glaring at me.
"You're such a jerk Jacob," I glared right back at him.
He started shaking in his chair. I watched as he clenched his fists tightly on the desk in front of him. I could see the anger building up in his eyes and I'm sure I heard him growl under his breath, but I didn't care. I don't know what came over me.
"Its sad you know, you hate me so much, but you don't even know my name," I spat at him, "I'm Katrina!"
It was lucky the bell rang; I couldn't sit there any longer. I grabbed my books and stormed out of the room. I didn't even realize Angie was chasing after me until she latched on to my arm and spun me around to look at her.
I had walked right past my locker and I didn't even notice. I was too busy seething over Jacob's ignorance. It was lucky Angie stopped me or a would have forgotten my homework from my other classes and that wouldn't have been a good thing for me; I like my grades the way they were.
"What's gotten in to you?" she asked seriously.
"Nothing, Jacobs just an ass," I grumbled.
She laughed out loud and scored a few odd stares from passing students. I couldn't help but giggle a little as she snorted. She took some deep breaths to calm herself down wiping away the tears that had fallen as she laughed.
"So what's he done this time?" she quizzed.
"Idiot didn't even know my name and I've been sitting there for how long? I've been hanging out with the same friends with him for how long now?"
"You're kidding me?" she seemed almost shocked.
"Nope, he asked me who Katrina was" I slammed my locker shut.
We walked and talked all the way to the parking lot. I could see Embry arguing with Jacob beside the car. I stopped and watched hoping they wouldn't realize I was watching, but it was no good. The moment we stopped moving they looked over at us. I froze on the spot when Jacob started walking towards us, I wanted to run and hide, but I couldn't move. It was like my feet were glued to the pavement and at the same time the pulling feeling in my chest wanted me to go to him.
"We need to talk," he practically demanded as he grabbed my arm.
"Trin you don't have to do anything," Embry pulled my arm out of his grasp.
"Embry butt out this doesn't have anything to do with you!" Jacob shouted at Embry.
Even though Jacob was just that little bit taller than Embry, it didn't stop Em from standing his ground.
"She is my step sister; it has everything to do with me!" Embry yelled back.
"She's my imprint!" Jacob growled.
He began to shake again like he had earlier in class. Once again I could see the anger building, only this time Embry was shaking too. They both looked like they were going to explode. You could feel anger seeping off them, it was surreal.
Seth, Quil, Colin and Brady all came running over when they saw what was going on. They hadn't been anywhere near us, but they got over to them so quickly. Angie and I watched as they pushed the two of them out of the parking lot and taking them into the tree lines out of sight. I looked over at Angie; she was as confused as I was. Well it would appear I was walking home.
I started walking home; as soon as I took my first step out of the school it started raining. I groaned out loud, but kept walking. It was just my luck, the day I have no choice but to walk it rains. I was about half way home when I felt like I was being followed. I knew exactly who it was, that pull in my chest was back again. I walked as fast as I could, but he still managed to keep up with me. As soon as my house came into view I ran as fast as I could. I quickly unlocked the door and ran inside slamming it shut. I leaned against the door and tried to catch my breath.
The pull began to get stronger and stronger until it practically exploded; I knew then that he was standing on the other side of the door. I held my breath waiting for him to make a move. I waited, but he didn't say a word. I felt when he walked away. I stood there for a little while just thinking to myself. I had one question that I wanted an answer to, what in the world was an imprint.
I managed to drag myself to the bathroom, I was soaked and freezing so I felt I deserved a nice, warm shower. I felt a lot better after that, I thought maybe things would be better after I was calm and back to normal, but I was wrong. Things were looking up until I realized I didn't grab any clean clothes and there was no way I was putting the wet ones back on. I figured since I was home alone I could make a runner for my room in my towel; it wasn't like anyone was going to see me. Well that's what I thought. I wrapped the towel around me as tight as it would go and readied myself to run. I took a deep breath and ran. I was almost at my room when I heard them.
"Hey Trin, where you…" Quil didn't finish his sentence.
I turned and look only to see seven sets of eyes starring at me standing there in nothing but a towel. I found my feet and finished the run to my room, swiftly closing the door behind me.
I couldn't believe it, of all the days that they all came around; it had to be the day I did a towel run. I dressed in some sweats and a baggy shirt, I didn't really want to walk out there but I knew they weren't going away. I could feel the heat in my cheeks from my obvious blushing.
I quietly walked out to the living room where they had all migrated to. No one looked at me as I sat down next to Seth. They all remained very focused on the news report that was playing on the TV.
"Well this is awkward" I said breaking the silence.
"Just a little bit," Jared chuckled, finally lightening the mood.
It was still a little weird, none of the boys could look me straight in the eye, but then again I couldn't do the same with them. Paul insisted on making jokes about it, some of which I got and some I had no idea what was going on. I missed hanging out with the guys after school at Emily's; I actually was confused at why they were here and not over there.
"So to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" I asked them.
"Emily and Sam wanted some alone time," Quil used the quotation fingers, "and we didn't know anyone else that could cook."
I knew there was a hidden motive to this. It was good Emily and Sam were spending time together for once, but why did they have to come here. I loved these guys, but they could eat like an army and made quite a mess. I walked into the kitchen and started going through the cupboards, it had been a couple of days since Mary had bought some groceries so food wise we were running a little low. I guessed we could just get some pizza, it was the easy option. I went back into the living room and had an idea.
"Hey if I order pizza, do you wanna have a movie night?" I asked.
Where we would have had to go to school the next day in a normal week, this week the teachers had decided to pull a strike. Not that we were complaining, they hadn't even given us any homework either.
"That's not a bad idea, we can crash here since we don't have school," Embry agreed.
The boys all began to murmur amongst themselves. I noticed Jared looking over at me; I knew what he was going to ask so I just nodded. As soon as I had, he had his cell phone out texting Kim. I turned to Embry; I wasn't sure where everyone was going to sleep.
"Are you sure your mum will be ok with everyone staying?"
"She has never complained before, but I'll call her and check if you want," I nodded as he went to make the call.
It turned out Mary was fine with it; she and dad were going out for dinner in Port Angeles anyway so she said they would just spend the night there. Kim arrived not long after Jared sent the text, she even convinced Leah to come with her. I was happy Leah had come, I felt like she needed to have some fun for once.
I called the pizza place and ordered enough pizza for about 30 people, yet there were only ten of us. While we waited for the pizza the boys fought over what movies they wanted to watch. We girls just sat back and giggled about their bickering. After about half an hour of fighting, they finally decided on Transformers. This was fine with me, I had been really worried they were going to pick something horrifying and I was terrible with scary movies.
Embry put the DVD in and we all got comfortable. Jared was sitting on the recliner with Kim in his lap, Colin sat at their feet. I sat on the sofa with Seth and Leah, while Brady, Embry, Paul and Quil moved the coffee table and laid on the floor. Just as the movie was starting there was a knock on the door. I figured it was the pizza guy, so I got up and grabbed the money off the bench and walked over to answer the door. The only thing was that it was definitely not the pizza guy and someone I didn't expect to find.
As I opened the door, I looked up into the big brown eyes of Jacob Black. I stood there and gawked at him. Here he was standing in my doorway in nothing but a pair of cut off jeans. He wasn't even wearing shoes.
"Uh hi?" it came out as a question rather than a statement.
"Hi, I got a text saying that we were hanging out here tonight," he explained.
I wasn't surprised that one of the boys had invited him, after all they were friends. What did surprise me was how nice he was being to me, especially after how angry he had been earlier today.
"Yeah, their in the living room watching a movie," I explained. He nodded.
"I'm sorry about today, I had heard the guys calling you Trin so I didn't realize your name was actually Katrina," he seemed very apologetic.
"Don't worry about it," I smiled.
I let him in and lead him into the living room where the others were waiting. They had paused the movie so I wouldn't miss anything. They had also gotten excited thinking the pizza had arrived, but they weren't too disappointed to see Jacob.
Seth moved down to the floor and Jacob sat next to me on the sofa. It was unbelievably hard to just sit there next to Jacob. All I wanted to do was cuddle up against him, but I couldn't. Occasionally his arm would brush against mine when he moved, sending electricity shooting up my arm and then through the rest of my body. It took every inch of control in my body not to reach over and touch him. I was almost relieved when there was a loud knock on the door; I wanted the excuse to get away from him.
This time it was the pizza guy and he was lucky, there were some very hungry boys and Leah sitting in the living room. I paid him the money and with Kim and Leah's help, managed to get the pizzas on to the dining table. We had not long got the pizzas down when the kitchen was swarmed. Kim and I stood back and watched as the guys wolfed down the pizza. Leah brought us over a box before the boys ate it all, but we only ate half so they ate the rest anyway.
After we ate we all went back to our positions in the living room for the rest of the movie. The moment it had finished though, the arguments began again about what movie would be next. I wasn't very keen when they finally decided on a movie. This time they hadn't been so kind to me, they picked Texas chainsaw massacre. I cringed at the name of the movie; horror films were truly not my thing.
I think I hid my face in the cushion next to me for the whole movie; I just didn't want to watch. Hearing the screams was terrible enough then actually seeing what was happening. The boys all thought it was awesome, I just thought it was gross. I felt something touch my shoulder and I freaked out. I jumped and screamed loudly; throwing the cushion I was clinging too tightly into the air.
"Calm down, it's only me," Jacob half laughed.
I looked around the room. Someone had paused the movie and all eyes were on me. Didn't I feel like an idiot.
"Sorry, I'm not good with scary movies," I admitted.
"Well why didn't you say something earlier?" Embry asked.
"Because you all wanted to watch it," I shrugged.
"We could have watched something else if you wanted,"
"Its ok watch the rest of the movie, I'm going to go and get some blankets," I stood up and walked down the hallway.
"Wait up; I'll give you a hand."
Kim came running up behind me. She looked very pale, almost like she was going to be sick. I guess she wasn't too keen on scary movies either. We pulled out all the blankets and pillows we could find and took them back into the living room. This was the biggest room in the house, so this was where we were sleeping. Kim and I handed out the pillows and blankets around to everyone and went into the kitchen to await the end of the movie.
I made us both a cup of hot chocolate. The afternoons began to get colder since I had been here, but then again it was also drawing closer to winter. We chatted about school, Kim explained to be what to expect in our exams. Apparently some of the teachers liked to reuse some of their exams from year to year; it made it easier for us to know what to study. When the movie finally ended, Jared came and took us back to the living room. Everyone had made themselves comfortable on the floor leaving Kim with the recliner and myself with the lounge.
Kim and I got settled and not too long later we were all crashed out. Hanging out like this with everyone was a nice change to what I was used to. When mum and I moved around I had never made friends, I couldn't see the point when I knew we would just be leaving again. I had so many friends here now, some many people I could go to for things.
I dreamed of Jacob for the first time that night. We were walking hand in hand as he led me through the forest. I had no idea where we were going, but I didn't care I was just happy to be with him. We walked deeper and deeper, yet I still followed him. I had never felt safer. Then we were running faster than I had ever run before in my life. It was as if we were flying through the trees. We kept running and running, I could see light shinning through the trees ahead of us. We ran until we broke through the trees, we found ourselves standing on a cliff ledge looking out at the ocean. It was beautiful. I looked up at Jacob, he smiled down at me.
"Do you trust me?" he asked softly.
"Yes" I replied.
The next thing I knew Jacob had his arms wrapped around my waist and he pulled us both over the edge of the cliff. I felt like I was falling, until I landed on something solid.
I wasn't asleep anymore. I opened my eyes and found myself lying on top of Jacob himself. I had fallen off the lounge I had been sleeping on, probably from all the moving I had done in my sleep. I stared down him and he stared up at me. I went to pull myself off him, but his arms snaked around my waist holding me to him. He propped himself up with one of his arms and the other remained around me. He leaned in closer never taking his eyes off me, but I never took my eyes off him either. I knew what he was thinking and the scary thing was I wanted him too. It seemed to take an eternity for his lips to meet mine, but when they did it was like an explosion. He had the softest lips and they seemed to fit mine perfectly. He ran his tongue over my top lip and it sent shivers down my spine. I had never felt this way ever, it was unusual but I liked it. I liked him, I couldn't believe it but it was true I liked him a lot, more than I should like him. I wanted the moment to last forever, but of course it didn't.
Someone cleared their throat, making us break apart and look to who made the noise. I had totally forgotten there were people in the room still. Most of the room had emptied, but Seth and Embry remained. Embry gave Jacob the biggest death stare I had ever seen before walking down to his room. Jacob gently pushed me off him; he had a disgusted look on his face. He didn't say a word he just stormed out the front door. I could feel the tears building in my eyes; I didn't understand why he kept doing this. He would get close to me then go back to treating me like a disease.
I stood up and ran to my room; I didn't want anyone to see me crying over him. I cried into my pillow for so long. I listened to the rain on the roof getting heavier and heavier. I couldn't take it any longer. I don't know what came over me, but before I knew it I was climbing out of my window and running into the woods. The rain poured down on me, soaking the clothes I was wearing within seconds. I didn't care where I was going I just needed to get away from him and get away from everything.
I stopped running when I found myself in the clearing. I sat down and leaned up against a tree and cried my heart out some more. I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged them tightly. I sat like that for ages, letting the rain hit my face and not care. I looked over to the other side of the clearing when I head a snap. There in all its glory was the wolf again. It saw me and let out a sad whine. It slowly walked over and lay down next to me.
I looked into its too familiar eyes and saw utter sadness and hurt. Its emotions were almost human. It whined again even sadder than the first.
"Looks like your day is going as well as mine" I sniffed, rubbing the tears from my eyes.
It lifted its head up to my level and huffed. As strange as it was me thinking it, but it was like he could understand me.
"I don't know why he treats me this way, sometimes its like he likes me and then the next its like I'm some sort of infectious disease he doesn't want to catch," I rambled on, "and the worst part is I think I like him….. A lot."
The wolf bolted up straight and stared at me rather oddly. It was like he didn't believe what I had said, I didn't think he had a clue what I had said any way though. It stood up and began pacing like it was thinking. I just watched it curiously; it had never acted this way before.
Overhead there was a loud crack of thunder and a bright flash of lightning. The storm seemed to be getting worse. I jumped when the thunder came again. The wolf looked at me concerned and then it was like it had made up its mind. It slowly walked up so its face was level with mine. Its eyes stared in to mine like they were searching for something, then it tore its eyes away and walked behind a tree. I watched the wolf disappear behind the tree, I waited wondering if maybe it was going to come back out again, but it didn't. What happened next I don't think I had the words to describe it?
A flash of lightning showed the shadow of the wolf still behind the tree. The next flash however showed something I hadn't expected. The second flash revealed another shadow exactly where the wolf had been not minutes before, only this time the shadow was of a man.
I sat not able to move from my spot as Jacob emerged from behind the tree. He looked down at me with the same sadness the wolf had looked at me with earlier. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, because from what I had just witnessed was Jacob transforming from a giant wolf into himself and that wasn't possible. I could see it now the eyes the wolf had, I had always thought they looked human. The wolf's eyes, they were Jacob's eyes. He and the wolf were one in the same.
This was unbelievable; it was like something out of a horror film. Neither of us moved from our places. I didn't know whether to run away and hide or stay with him, my brain wanted me to run, but my heart wanted me to stay.
Too make matters worse, I had told wolf Jacob that I liked him. Now the real Jacob knew too, what I had gotten myself into.
Sorry guys I hate to leave it here, but believe me I have some good stuff happening in the next chapter
Thanks for reading and I hope you like it. Next chapter should be up soon.
