Song for this chapter---Boys Like Girls - Heals Over Head
I raised my eyebrow ''I'm a what?''
''you are the first Hyuman ever. That means that you are very special and that makes you the high priestess.'' Darius said then placed his right fist over his heart and bowed.
My face was a question mark.
Stark laughed.
''basicly your like the boss of all these Hyuman people and they will all worship you.'' he said.
My eyes widened.
''um.. I'll..uh.. be right back'' I stammered and quickly walked in to the other room.
Oh god, Oh god!. I didn't want to be the boss of anyone. And I certainly didn't want to be worshipped.
I sat down behind the couch and put my head between my knees.
The dog, (or duchess as she was called) came and lay at side of me.
''I cant do this, duch'' I whispered. She opened one eye and looked up at me.
''I'm a freak'' I said as a tear slid down my face.
''no your not'' said a voice making me jump.
I looked up stark was stood next to the door.
''yes I am. No one else has stars on their palms and you are all the same inside. I'm not. I'm a whole new breed. In my eyes I'm a freak!'' I sniffed.
''OK'' he said taking my hands and helping me up.
''I'm going to tell you a little bit about me. Then you can decide who the freak here is, OK'' he led me round the couch and sat me dawn beside him.
I just nodded.
''when I was marked, I had to leave my home and my family and go to a school called house of night, full of people like me who were all trying to go through the change from a fledgling to a Vampyre. After being there for a few days I discovered that I had an ability or a power as you called it. If I shoot an arrow from my bow, whatever I am thinking about no matter where it is I hit it. I cant miss. Ever.'' he took a breath and continued.
''I became the centre of attention over night. And I might come across as cocky an arrogant at times but I'm not, and I hated it. Then after my first year both my two best friends rejected the change and died within a week of each other. Life from then on sucked. I was constantly being entered in archery competitions and I won them all. I was transferred from my school in Chicago to another school in Tulsa. Then I rejected the change and died''
He was a Vampyre. Just my luck.
''if you died. How are you here?'' I asked in a hushed whisper.
He laughed ''this is where the real story begins. See, the high priestess of the school was in to some seriously dark shit. And she brought me back from the dead. But inside I had changed, I was all wrong. I was messed up, but someone saved me and I some how got my humanity back. My inside wasn't the only part of me that changed. When I got brought back my mark had changed from blue to red. Oh yeah and I'd burn up if I went out side in the sun. Now who's the freak?''
I got the feeling that the story was the edited version but I was glad he had told me.
I put my hand on his.
''I'm so sorry'' I said.
He shrugged ''its over now''
jack popped his head round the door ''can I come in?''
I nodded.
''I know this must be a bit overwhelming for you and I wanted you to know that I am here if you wanted to speak to anyone'' he said patting my shoulder.
''thank you'' I smiled.
They all seamed so nice.
''so will you show me what you can do with power'' he asked rubbing his hands together.
''um..well, so far all I have tried is some ballet that I wouldn't have been able to do in a million years and a one handed handstand...oh and I can do pull ups like a pro'' I said with a grin.
''so you can do anything you see?'' stark asked
''I think so''
''I think that is so cool'' jack said dreamily ''I wish I could do something cool like that. I'm just a whiz at anything electrical.''
''were going to go book a couple of hotel rooms for tonight'' Aphrodite said from the kitchen.
''we will come back here after if that is OK'' Darius added.
'' yeah, fine'' stark said with a wave of his hand.
I smiled and nodded at them both.
''are you OK sharing a room with gay boy there, or do you want your own?'' Aphrodite asked with a wicked smile and her hand on her hip.
Jack gasped and stark laughed.
''I don't mind sharing. I trust him'' he said still laughing.
''so'' jack said after the other two had left ''What's town life like?''
''dull'' I said simply
they both laughed. I found it easy being round them both.
''I think we should stay'' jack said suddenly
stark and I both looked at him and he continued .
''I don't know why but I think we should all stay here. We have been running for too long''
''running from what?'' I asked
''we'll tell you about it another time. But I think your right jack. We should stay here.''stark said looking thoughtful and intense.
They were going to stay here. My heart began to pound.
Stark eyed me with his brow raised ''you OK?''
''yeah fine. Why'd you ask?'' I said
''because your heart is beating like a drum'' he said with a half smile that was pure bad boy.
''oh crap not you too!'' I groaned and put my head down.
''why who else can hear your heart, besides me and Darius?. I know jack and Aphrodite cant''
I decided to tell them about the cullens. So what if I was betraying them. Like they didn't betray me by leaving.
''my ex boyfriend was a vampire'' I said and took a deep breath letting it huff out.
''your kidding?'' stark asked. His eyebrows almost in his hairline.
''wow. Just wow'' said jack
''yep'' I said popping on the p.
I didn't tell them about Jacob because it was his secret to tell not mine.
''and what was he like? Were there any more of them?'' asked jack.
I stayed silent.
Could I really talk about the cullens without it hurting.
''Bella!, You OK?'' stark asked.
''yeah. I..uh'' my brain was suddenly clouded with thoughts of Edward.
Thoughts that I had locked away. ''I'm sorry. It just hurts to think about them''
''its OK Bella. You don't have to talk about it. I know how your feeling, trust me'' he smiled a small smile.
Jack looked down and when he looked up his eyes were full of tears.
''I too know how you feel'' he said before throwing himself at me and sobbing.
I patted his back awkwardly. Poor little guy was devastated about something.
Jack suddenly looked around.
''you haven't done much packing if your moving'' he sniffed.
''oh. This is my dads place. He's the chief of police. He's staying here, I'm moving out.
I had a strange tugging sensation in my stomach. I knew it wasn't because I would be home sick because the house is like five minutes away.
''oh that is so cool. So What's the new place like?'' he asked suddenly back to his bouncing self.
I smiled ''lets go and make them drinks and I'll tell you'' I had forgotten all about the coffee I had earlier promised.
We all went in to the kitchen just as the phone rung.
It was probably dad saying he would be working late.
''hello'' I answered
''hey'' said Jacob
''Jake, hi.'' I knew he wanted to know if I had watched the films.
''so, did you watch them?''
I laughed ''yes''
''and?''
''I can now do a gazillion pull ups'' I told him turning the coffee maker back on.
He laughed ''have you tried and fighting moves''
''no not yet. I didn't have anyone to try them on'' I told him
''and what about the other film''
''I only watched about half an hour then my dad caught me doing pull ups. He asked me if I was on drugs''
he was laughing now and I herd billy tell him to shut up.
''oh Jake, I forgot to tell you. I bought a house today'' I said
''whoa, shit Bella That's a huge decision. hold on I'll be right over''
''no. wait Jake'' I said but he had already hung up.
I shook my head and put the phone back.
''sorry about that'' I told jack and stark.
''How do you take your coffee?'' I asked.
'extra sweet with milk, please'' jack said
''none for me thanks'' stark said
jack was looking at him oddly.
''is there any blood banks in forks?'' jack asked
''I'm OK'' stark told him.
''no the nearest one is in Seattle why?'' I said.
''stark needs more blood than normal full vampyre's and he hasn't had any for a while now'' he said
I looked loser at stark's eyes. They were normal colour.
''what are you doing'' he laughed his sexy laugh.
''when ever Edward hadn't fed for a while his eyes would go black'' I told him
just then someone knocked on the door.
I went and opened it. Jacob was stood there shirtless with only a pair of cut off sweat pants on.
''you bought a house'' he said picking me up in to another bone crushing hug.
I trued to talk but my face was pressed against his shoulder.
He walked with me towards the kitchen like I was a rag doll who weighed next to nothing.
I kicked his shin hoping to get him to put me down but we were already at the kitchen door.
As soon as he saw jack and stark he put me down.
''who's your friends?'' Jake asked eyeing the pair.
''this is James stark and this is jack...er'' I looked at jack
''twist'' he grinned.
''oh yeah. The dogs owner. I'm Jacob black'' he said sticking his hand out and shaking one then the other.
There was an awkward silence. No one knowing what to say.
''I told Jake about me being marked. So its OK to talk in front of him'' I blurted.
All eyes were on me and looking like I was a crazy person.
I rolled my eyes.
I turned to Jacob. ''they are like me. Sort of. They were all marked by the goddess, just in a different way. And they turned in to something else''
his eyes went huge ''really?''
I nodded and turned to stark and jack.
''and Jake wont tell anyone. Will you?'' I asked.
He nodded.
''if your not like bells here, then what are you, if you don't mind me asking''
''were vampyre's'' stark told him.
Jacob looked confused. He leaned forward and sniffed.
''no your not!'' he said to stark
stark laughed ''what?''
''I'd know if you were. And your not''
jack put up his hand like he was in class.
Everyone looked at him
''um. hi. How would you know if we were or we weren't vampyre's ?''
it suddenly dawned on me what he was talking about.
I smacked my head. ''there vampyre's not vampires Jake and your going to have to tell them the truth about yourself'' I told him
he looked at me suspiciously ''how do you know there marked. I cant see anything?''
I looked at stark who rolled his eyes. He got up and walked over to the sink.
He ran the water and leaned over rubbing at his face.
I got a fresh towel off the pile on top of the washing machine and handed it to him.
When he turned my insides turned to mush.
He was gorgeous. He had a red crescent moon on his forehead and arrows round his eyebrows and eyes and ending on his cheek bones.
I was staring at him but I couldn't turn away.
''can I touch it?'' I asked
''not herd that one before'' he laughed. ''you touch mine and I'll touch yours''
I ignored the laughing and reached out my hand.
Lightly, I ran my fingertips down his arrows. My hand was trembling.
Jacob cleared his throat behind me and I pulled my hand back, suddenly aware that I was staring in to this strangers eyes and stroking his face.
Jack giggled and I blushed.
''now that you know, you can tell them'' I said to Jacob.
He sighed but nodded '' the reason I can smell vampires is because I'm a werewolf and vampires are my natural enemy''
''for real?'' stark asked looking at me. I nodded.
''oh my god'' jack said fanning his face ''can I see you transform or do you need a full moon?''
Jake laughed ''no I don't need a full moon and yeah I'll show you if you like''
Even I was interested in seeing this.
''is it safe'' asked jack
''yeah. I'm just me but in a giant wolfs body'' he grinned.
''lets go then'' I said stepping forward
Jake slung his arm over my shoulders ''That's the spirit bells'' he said kissing the side of my head.
We went out in to the back yard in case Charlie came home.
Somehow I didn't think he would take too well to finding a wolf in his yard with two vampyre's and his only daughter.
Jake went over to the clothes line and pulled down a pair of Charlie's old shorts.
I raised my eyebrow.
''you'll see'' he grinned. Taking a big sniff if me before he let me go.
''stop sniffing me!. You'll make me paranoid''
''I cant help it. You smell so good'' he laughed.
I went and stood beside jack and stark.
And Jake walked about fifteen feet away.
''watch closely'' he said with a wink.
He was loving all the attention. We all looked at him.
He stared to shake like he was vibrating, then all of a sudden he exploded and he wasn't Jake anymore. Instead there was a rusty coloured wolf as big as a horse.
My mouth wasn't the only one hanging open.
Stark and jack's own mouths were as wide as mine.
Suddenly I felt strange.
Like my insides were humming.
My hand reached out and grabbed anything it could to stop myself from falling.
''ouch'' jack said with a little sequel.
''sorry..I..''then I was suddenly in the air.
I closed eyes. Stark smelled of outside and pecan pie.
He held me to his chest.
''are you OK?'' he asked.
I shook my head.
''what is it?''
I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. Looking up in to his own brown eyes I told him what was wrong.
''I think I just learned how to turn in to a wolf!''
Woo hoo go wolfie Bella!!..
