I awoke in the morning to the boys' snores from next door and the sunlight coming in through the window. Whatever, it's only eleven, just go back to sleep and you won't have to get up. I lazily closed my eyes and let the heat from under me carry me back into dreamland. Wait, what? My eyes snapped open to find the source of said heat. There, lying under me was Seth Clearwater and only now I realized that he was only in boxers. How the hell did I not notice that last night?! Next, I noticed our positions. I was on top of Seth with my legs wrapped around his torso and my hands on his chest. He had one hand on my hip and the other on the back of my leg which made my babydoll ride up to my hip as well. As I tried to slowly get off of him, he pulled my closer nuzzling into my hair. Oh well, you tried. I thought a little too enthusiastically. Giving up, I laid my head back onto Seth's chest feeling the steady rising and falling of his breathing.
When I woke up again it was around one o'clock and Quil along with Brady were in my room silently laughing. "What" I asked, still not fully awake. I watched as Brady's eyes started wandering up my legs and coughed a little to get his attention. I glared at him and pointed towards the door. Quil laughed out loud as Brady lowered his head and walked out of my room into theirs. "What" I asked again, exasperated. Quil chuckled. "One, you're on top of him, and two, you guys are touching each other!" He went into another round of laughter causing Seth to awake. How embarrassing! He looked at Quil questioningly with an eyebrow raised, who quickly explained. "I was just telling ol'Callie over there about how the two of you were molesting each other!" Seth looked up and smiled when he saw me. "You just couldn't keep your hands off of me, could you?" He asked, smirking. "Ha! You're the one to talk! Now could please you remove your hands from my legs?" I watched as he started blushing and let go of me, allowing me to roll off of him and stop next to him instead. Quil jumped in then. "Well, now that you aren't on top of each other, I can embarrass the two of you!" he jumped onto the end of the bed taking up the entire space. "You, mister," He pointed an accusing finger at Seth, "are no longer aloud to sleep with my baby sister if you're going to be touching each other! The two of you are just nasty! How can you sleep with him Callie? He was rubbing his hands up and down my itty bitty baby sister's legs which now I have to bleach my mind for, to get that terrible image out of my head!" Seth started blushing a deeper shade of red. "And Callie, get that look off of your face because you weren't any better! You had your hands in my pack baby brothers' hair which is just as gross!" Now it was my turn to blush while Quil smiled at us and left the room. "Thanks for that Quil." I mumbled to myself, while getting up to shower. Seth laughed while closing his eyes laying back down growling which was probably one of the sexiest noises I have ever heard. I smiled to myself as I walked into the shower.
When I came out in only my purple towel, Seth was still lying in bed but turned to look at me. He smirked and watched as I hurried to the closet blushing all the way. I picked out a black leather jacket with quilted shoulders, a white racer back tank with the words Bite Me. in red on the front and skinny jeans. When I came out of the closet fully dressed, the bed was made and Seth had his ripped jean shorts on. I swear I saw his jaw drop a little which was the reaction that I was hoping to get from him. When I walked into the boys' room I made sure to sway my hips a tiny bit. They were all eating a ton of food while watching Friends. "Boys come on; we have to head over to the Cullen's." Quil looked at me and whistled quietly. "You clean up nicely Evers." I smiled, "I wish I could say the same about you Ateara." I promptly left the room with laughter following me as I headed towards the woods. "I have got to get a car or people are going to start getting suspicious as to why I keep going into the woods." I spoke to myself softly. "Don't you need to get a job for the money?" I turned to see Seth a few feet away with the others coming up behind him. "Ha! No, I don't need a job. It's kind of one of my talents. You'll understand soon enough." I chuckled knowing that I probably had more money than the president makes in a year. "Ooh lets have a race to see who can get to the Cullen's fastest and we'll have Emmet, jasper, Alice and Rosalie decide what the prize is!" I challenged with a smirk. Quil looked ecstatic and the others seemed happy enough. "Ok just don't be a sore loser when I win." Seth smirked. "Ha. Very funny." I chuckled. "Ok," Quil shouted in an announcer's voice. "On two we faze and on three we go. Ready?" We all nodded. I don't think they realize that I'm going to 'faze' with them. "One…Two," the boys fazed and I imagined a black wolf with white paws while morphing into it, startling Collin and Seth who were the only ones who noticed. "Three!" Quil yelled into our heads. Oh crap, I have to morph out of their mind link, or my head's going to explode! I kept my form but cut the mind link so that I wasn't in there heads. I quickly started running to beat the others and changed my wolf so that she was faster that the others. As I leaped in front of everyone, I heard wolf noises that sounded like gasps. Suckers! By now, the house was in sight and just like I suspected, Alice saw us coming and gathered Jasper, Emmet and Rosalie with her. As soon as I crossed the imaginary finish line I morphed into myself and saw the boys coming out of the tree line in their shorts. "So what do I win?" The boys looked shocked along with Emmet from my little demonstration. "Emmet why do you look so surprised? You've seen me change skins before." I laughed at the end. "I didn't know you could morph into anything though. I thought it was just people!" He defended himself. "I can morph into anything and anyone." Stating it uninterestedly. It's so annoying talking about my powers. What if the Volturi find out? Almost as soon as the thought crossed my mind I banished it. After all, I've hidden from them for the past 64 years; I doubt they'll find me now.
After moment I felt the rest of the Cullens join us. Carlisle smiled at me, clearly excited about me showing everyone my gifts today. "Good afternoon Callie. Sleep well?" Bringing up the mornings events had me blushing in seconds and I heard Quil start laughing. "Oh she definitely slept well." My hands heated up. "I'm sure she was warm enough" I knew that he was setting me up but I didn't care. Shut him up was the only thing on my mind as I lunged for a still laughing Quil. He dodged my attack moving to grab me but I ducked and grabbed his ankle with my still hot hands and threw him into the air. I watched in anticipation as he fazed and landed a few feet away. He was still laughing in wolf form as he walked up to me, putting a slobbery kiss on my face. I squealed, trying to wipe it off while everyone else laughed. When I turned around, I realized that Sam, Paul, and Jared were in wolf form a little ways away. "Hey Sammy!" I ran up him and hugged his neck. I felt him stiffen in surprise. I backed up still smiling. "Well I might as well get this over with. I'll demonstrate all six of my gifts and then explain them." Here goes nothin' I started out morphing into multiple people and animals, doing this a few times. "Biokenesis. I can change my body's DNA and change into any creature." Almost everyone has already seen this one so it wasn't very surprising. Next I showed them my heat gift. Engulfing my arms in flames and lighting some branches a few feet away on fire. "I have slight pyrokenesis. I can light my hands and arms on fire but I can only heat up the rest of my body." There was some interested looks since I haven't done this one a lot. "Now I'm going to need a volunteer." Everyone took a step back. Ha! Babies. I pointed towards Quil. Revenge is sweet. "Payback's a bitch, wouldn't you agree Quil?" He nodded while grumbling something quietly, clearly trying to act brave and failing miserably. "I'll start off with something harmless" I opened my senses and saw some of his physical weaknesses. "I can see every weakness-both physical and mental. Your left side is weaker than your right in wolf form, your right eye is weaker than your left, the most basic attacks throw you off, and a small girl-your imprint I am assuming is your biggest weakness." Quil stared at me with wide eyes. I smiled back at him. Looking around, everyone seemed almost dumbstruck, with the exception of Carlisle who looked like a kid in a candy store. I continued, "I am also able to see your worst fears." Quils face turned terrified. "Quils worst fears are losing that one girl-your imprint, vampires, and confined spaces." I saw a few of the Cullens chuckle at the vampire part. "Second to last is control. It's hard to explain but basically, I can control the way money flows and I can direct it toward me so that I'm being paid without having to do anything except concentrate. But, the second I lose focus the money flow stops. That, Seth, is why I don't need a job." I watched Brady elbow him quietly whispering, "Dude, you hit the jackpot!" What is he talking about? Well then again its Brady, what is he ever talking about? "Lastly, I have persuasion. This one is also tricky to explain. It's like me planting little suggestion into your head that you follow. You have control over yourself meaning that you could fight it, but it takes a great deal of mental strength to be able to resist. Most vampires don't even have the mental strength to resist." I haven't told anybody about that one so the reactions were hilarious. "I'd rather not demonstrate this one just because it sucks a lot of energy out of me but hopefully I explained it well enough. Any questions?" Carlisle's hand shot into the air. Huge shocker. "Yes Carlisle?" He looked ready to explode. "Do you have full control over your gifts? How long did it take you to master them? Does the Volturi know about you and your gifts? Surely they wouldn't let such a precious prize out alone without any protection?" The questions seemed to never end! "OK ummm, yes, 27 years, no and I'd like to keep it that way." I pointedly stared at everyone. As soon as I finished tat last sentence I heard running. Four, two vanpires-mates, one hybrid and a shifter-also mates. Oh these must be the people who were in New York! I watched the wolf appear first looking at me and then Sam, nodding. Next was the hybrid. She looked roughly my age. As she looked at me I had to focus on pushing away my weakness gift that was itching to get out and explore each of their weaknesses. After a second another girl popped out of the woods looking a few years older than me. By now I was standing in between Seth and Jasper still wary of the new-comers even though they were safe. Lastly, a guy jogged out of the woods, smiling and kissing his mate on the lips. When he turned to us I immediately recognized him. All I saw was red as I lunged for the devil, screaming. Kill. Kill. Kill the damned monster! Sadly I only got two leaps forward when I was grabbed from behind. I didn't even look at them as tears streamed down my face while I heated my hands up, my capturers letting go in the process. This time I felt Seth grab onto me from behind. In my rage I gave him the suggestion to let go and walk away. I jumped forwards again only to be tackled to the ground by who I assumed was Emmet. I glared at the thing that I so desperately wanted to kill with every fiber I had in me while I still struggled. Somewhere in the background I heard Alice yell something but I wasn't listening enough to catch what she said. Suddenly I felt a heavy wave of sleepiness fall over me. I gave out one last heart wrenching whimper before I fell into a deep sleep.
