Hey, guys!

As always, a big thank you to all those who take the time to read, comment on and promote this story.
So this is a whole new chapter ! Who says new chapter, says new twists and new twists, says new characters !

I let you guess who it is but I must admit that I was eager to explore this new relationship towards Dany :)

In short, enjoy much of this chapter !


After returning with Weird, I had no energy to do anything else. Not to mention that if the usual soothing rain weighed me now. I opted for an outfit much more relaxed and waited apprehensively for the return of Bella. I had no idea how it would happen.

Is she going to question me ? Or want me to take her happiness away from her ?

Honestly, I did not really know how I had come to the final conclusion, but at the moment it was the only conclusion I could draw. After all, for some reason, I had somehow taken the place of the protagonist of this story. I mean, no matter what I did to stay as far away from the plot of the book, it seems that it always end up with Edward and me interacting with each other.

What frightened me more than I really want to admit it to be honest.

I let out a sigh weary by extending me full length on my bedspread before hiding my eyes with my forearm. I still do not know how to describe my last interview with the vampire and as much as I did not want to analyze it, a part of my brain could not help but return to our last moments.

Why I had even chosen to restrain him ? He was stupid and infuriating in my view. So why I had suddenly act like Bella Swan in person ? If it was, the book changed me. He made me like Bella without I even noticing.

The simple idea made me suddenly sit up on my bed in a sitting position and I looked frantically to the decorating of my room to try to convince me otherwise.

I was not Bella. I was not a character. I was not Bella !

''Dany ?''

I let a scream horrified at the sudden appearance of my worst nightmares toward me now and hold my painful chest, immediately reaping an annoyed glare of Bella.

''Oh my God ! One hath never learned to knock before entering ? '' Me I exclaimed in a foul mood now and I could see a slight nervous tick in cheek of the brunette telling me she seemed just as much, if not more than I reassembled. I frowned my confused eyebrow in display before resting my hand on the top of my thigh. '' What ? ''

Bella crossed her arms in gauging attentively remembering me briefly of the bitchy attitude of Judgy before finally express her thoughts envious aloud. '' When you counting tell me for you and Edward ?''

Oh Goddy !

I let myself fall against my bedspread hitting my forehead with my palm already knowing that it was going to happen before giving a brief look through my fingers over the brunette impatient.'' There are no Weird and me. ''

'' Weird ? '' Repeated the brunette clutching her jaw telling me that she was really annoyed now.''How long have you planned to continue to listen to me talk about him without telling me ? ''

'' Okay ! I stop you right now ! '' I intervened supporting her dark eyes. '' You want the strange and scary guy ? He's all yours. Hell, we're not even friends. ''

Bella frowned immediately her eyebrows as quickly a red colored her pale cheeks and I gave her an impassive gaze as she sized up a moment in perplexity. '' Why would I want the boy ? He hates me like the plague. ''

''Is this a joke? '' Exclaimed me immediately speechless obviously not believing what I heard before quickly shaking my head to try to clear my mind. '' You mean you're not irrevocably and forever in love with him ? ''

There was a long silence between us where I could see Bella look away embarrassed before she muttered under her breath. '' He obviously doesn't like me like that. ''

Only I was close enough to hear her giving me want to roll my eyes in boredom.

Pity, I really had to watch that ? No matter how I got here, so I was sent or simply landed in this world because of a kind of cosmic force, I was definitely not the right person for that.

I pinched the bridge of my nose in pure frustration before turning my eyes to brunette with boredom as I decided to ignore her last comment. '' Anyway, never assimilate new Edward and I in the same sentence, right ? ''

This made things much too real for my taste and I preferred to stay in denial a little longer.

To my surprise, Bella shook her head in silence before looking around my room in curiosity and mild disgust at the pile of clothes on the floor. She gave me a disapproving look long in response to which I merely shrug my shoulders before lying to me again on my bedspread.

However, what surprised me the most was when the brunette sat with me before taking my hand in hers. Obviously, I was confused and uncomfortable at first but after sharing an awkward smile with brunette in the corner, I decided to let her be.

Receive some support was not a bad idea. Especially in my current situation.

Anyway, I soon to return to the real world. Or rather as real as this fictional world could be for me. In other words, a living hell.

If I had been expressly bored with the Inquisition of Bella, it was because I had not yet found myself face to Judy and her little sidekick. Honestly, if Aimee would not intervened, I gave little expensive for the poor girl. However, it did not stop her as the brunette also ask me questions about it. She was less infuriating but still.

Fortunately for me, some members of a particular family seemed to subscribers missing that day. And I had no great difficulty in imagining why. Then it turned out that our famous trip to the beach would indeed take place. Not that I really doubted it. After all, it seems that I had absolutely no control over the things that were happening. All this happened as the book apart some minor exceptions and I could not be a mere spectator ringside.

Worst of all this ? It seemed that I had become the main character.

So it was no great surprise that I was going through all my morning with the greatest total boredom. A boredom that once seemed to annoy me. I had unfortunately become accustomed to having regard to cogitate since I arrived and it appears that the absence of Edward annoyed me more than I wanted to admit.

Not that I was very proud to admit it to myself. In fact, if I had to describe it, I would say that I was almost ashamed. I did not know how I could go from hating the depths of my being to lose moments of my day to think of him. This was very annoying and embarrassing to say the least. However, it seems that this revelation was probably the least strange event of the day.

Especially when I had gone to the cafeteria with Bella, Aimee and others. For once, I was more than disappointed that Edward was not there to save me to the boring and intuile chatter of others. They only spoke of the famous beach day and Aimee had even come to mingle with others. This meant that there remained to me that Bella for entertainment and watch the brunette languish of the object already disturbing me enough was not really my definition of entertainment.

And the deadly looks we sent dirty blonde at the other end of the table does not help my nerves already on edge. I forgot her first name from day one but I was sure that if Bella had not placed her hand on my forearm during lunch ... yeah, so that I could release a lot of pressure.

So it was with a whole new eagerness I had left the others at our table as soon as I had swallowed the last bite of my lunch. Obviously, Bella, Aimee and unfortunately, Mike, Geeky and worse, Tyler had all stopped talking and stared at me in the most attention but I had been content to take my tray informing Aimee that she underway join me before turning on my heel.

I definitely had no desire to take tweezers today, let alone mingle with others.

I headed straight for my locker in finally removing my parka thick burgundy to the lightly sudden rise of temperature before rolling it into a ball in my locker. Once I got rid of the superfluous layer of clothing, I could not help but relax my shoulders with a small sigh of contentment. I would not have to fear getting sick again.

At least, I hoped greatly.

'' They announcement beautiful cleared this weekend. '' Arises suddenly a perky voice startling me around just to come face to face with a bubbly Alice. '' You're even more beautiful up close. ''

I immediately wide my eyes in shock before knit my eyebrows in trouble. I knew she would be a person to avoid. She was too excited for me. Her last comment was a proof. However, it could have been worse.

'' At least you have not approached me saying how I felt good. '' I thought aloud instantly provoking a curious look and a slight laugh melodious of the brunette.

God, if I thought the perfect voice of Edward was annoying that was I had not heard that of the other vampire. It was like she was supposed to hypnotize me just by talking to me. As a kind of siren. I had no doubt she could be a dangerous trap for men. Although Rosalie was to be definitely out of class to this area.

'' You really are an exception. '' Said the brunette putting me uncomfortable and I soon to cross my arms over my chest in discomfort.

Seriously, that was as much compliment to sell ? She does not even know me. In fact, I'm doing a mission to keep her away from me and yet, there she was. Which left me even more uncomfortable indeed. I was in the process of talking with Alice Cullen damn ! Alice! What she wanted me to end ?

'' Slowly Alice, you made her uncomfortable. '' Intervened Jasper to anywhere instantly sending me into a panic attack.

I hit my back against the series of metal lockers in the process and the two vampires widened their eyes in understanding before I was suddenly hit by a strange wave of calm.

My eyes immediately fell on the platinum blond vampire in the realization and I tried the best I could to straighten me with the little dignity I had left. '' What do you want ? ''

'' Sorry. '' Alice immediately apologized with sincerity before quickly resume excitedly leaving Whiny to look her with any tooth smile out more frightening me. '' It's just that Edward was not here and I wanted so much to talk to you. You seem so interesting. This is the first time I can't know if we'll be great friends or not. ''

I frowned my eyebrows on the vampire already put off by her unwavering enthusiasm before flashing a wary eye on the blond. I met his golden orbs though slightly darker than that of Edward remembering me of his recent diet and I shuddered in spite of myself.

Whiny was easily pick my feeling since he turned immediately to me by giving me a confident nod confusing me slightly. He was not supposed to be stiff and cold in the presence of humans ? '' You have nothing to fear from us. Of me.''

'' Yeah, Weird already told me that. '' I replied with a whole new boost of confidence facing these killing machines. '' But what proves that it is the truth ? ''

'' We're just curious. '' Alice immediately defended with a smile still scary for me.

It was certain that they were beautiful. Even beautiful, but it only served to remind me how much they could be fatally beautiful.

I crossed my arms over my chest and turned me back to the brunette with a raised eyebrow in the challenge. ''Nobody told you that curiosity killed the cat ? ''

Alice looked at me in the most complete surprise before turning suddenly to her companion, husband or I don't know before literally exploding with laughter. I stood a moment amazed at hearing their laughter in harmony before frown my eyebrows in exasperation.

I was wasting my time here and I had no desire to stay longer in the presence of two vampires.

I was about to pick up my bag on the floor to make a quick getaway but before I could form a plan in my mind, the small slender vampire turned to me with a slight frown frustrated on her forehead without imperfection.

'' It seems that Edward was right. '' Sighed Alice leaving me in spite of myself look her with mild curiosity.

What he could have told to his family ? Waits ! Why I even cared about what he could tell them about me ?

I shook my head slightly to clear the sudden thought of my mind before turning my eyes on Whiny to his intervention. '' Our brother we just said you were the most stubborn human he knows. ''

'' What is rather amusing since he is himself the most stubborn person we know. '' Finish Alice with a slight friendly smile making me stare her bored now.

'' Whoa ! Well I'm glad to see I'm a real source of fun for you and your family. '' Me I exclaimed sarcastically raising a clenched grimaces of the duo before openly rolling my eyes. '' However, Edward and I will have absolutely nothing in common. ''

Alice seemed ready to argue on the last but Jasper was not long before he cut her leaving me watching the brunette annoyance before turning to Jasper forward. '' You're very a different human than we are used to be around. And your ... condition intriguing us, to say the least. ''

'' My ... my condition ? '' I repeated with slight attitude before snorting sarcastically. '' What conditions ? One where my smell does not reach you or the one where I come from a world where everything ... this is fiction ? ''

A new spark of interest seemed to shine in both unreal orbs of the duo and I bit the inside of my cheek in discomfort.

And if I said too much ? No, Edward had certainly told them everything.

Unfortunately, or rather fortunately for me, Aimee chose that moment to make her appearance and I could see the look of surprise mixed with apprehension when she saw the duo before me. She approached me in uncertainty while I watched Jasper as a kind of hawk just to find that he seemed quite comfortable despite the presence of the self-service fountain at my side.

He was certainly more staid than before but not uncomfortable as Bella described him in the book. Just distant.

'' Uh ... Dany ? '' Aimee hesitated in a small voice reminding me of her shy side although she was different with me and I turned to her before lifting my eyes at her quizzically.

And so is my quiet afternoon.

'' Aimee, you know Jasper and Alice ? '' I was presenting, without much enthusiasm arousing slight grin on the lips of two vampires while the brunette with blue eyes stared at my side like the kind of icons. '' Alice, Jasper. Aimee. ''

A broad smile settled on Alice characteristics leaving me wonder if it was the fact of the present assets and then the simple idea to mix who rejoiced her.

''Nice to meet you ! I heard that you and Dany were great friends. '' Exclaimed gaily the little vampire, even to embrace Aimee leaving Whiny and me stiff in apprehension. I noticed the little sniffing gesture of Alice, remembering me too well of her nature and I quickly looked away just to meet those attentive of Jasper.

Surprisingly, some tacit understanding seemed to pass between us and I turned back to Aimee again once Alice positioned herself alongside the blond. The latter gave a slight nod by making the effort to smile briefly giving me want to laugh in spite of myself to his tense air. My mood change was enough to question the vampire and I shook my head alerting Alice in turn before picking up my bag on the floor. Alice threw light curious glance between Jasper and me but I was content to give a look at Aimee simply to realize that she was in shock from her meeting with the two Cullen.

I highly cleared my throat finally questioning her attention before starting a pointed look an eye sparking on her high cheekbones.

I rolled my eyes before giving a simple look at the duo. '' We must go to class. See you in physics, Jasper. ''

With that, I left the duo with Aimee behind.

Obviously, the brunette was questioning me for the rest of the day and I ended up bursting by threatening to hit her if she did not shut up. I honestly doubt that I would but it was enough to silence her. At least the space of a lesson. It was enough that Jasper gave me a sign of recognition for our input that the brunette had resumed her interrogation.

Much to the amusement of the vampire, of course.

Suffice to say that I was relieving when the day came to an end. However, the mere reminder of our trip to the beach by Bella to Charlie was enough to make me think back to the test tomorrow. Of course, Charlie was thrilled by this new turn. And he was more when Bella had said that I would be of the party. So it was shuffled that I ended up going to bed praying again to wake up in my world.

And as usual, I ended up waking up in this damn world. Or rather, I was awake.

''Dany ! Dany, Wake up! Dany !''

Slight tremors accompanied by the annoying voice forced me to open my eyes just to bring my hand against my pupil at the sudden brightness in the room.

'' I know! '' Cried again that famous voice forcing me to turn me lightly on my side just to see the reddish curls of Bella in my fingers. '' It's nice. Finally !''

'' Go away! '' I growled, throwing me against my mattress clearly annoyed now before sighing as I heard her footsteps thundering before the sound of a sliding soon followed by a huge ray of sunshine made me sit up in a sitting position. I automatically threw a dark shine on Bella as she seemed to trouble-made unique because of the new light before shaking my head reluctantly. '' Good ! Good ! The weather is nice !''

A slight frown settled on the perfect face of the brunette before she crossed her arms over her chest.'' You could at least show your enthusiasm instead of making me look like the only one who misses the time of Phoenix . ''

'' Oh god ! '' I sighed removing my blankets off my bed before stretching me. '' You're even more whining in the morning. ''

'' Hilarious! '' Bella muttered under her breath making me stare at her with a smile as she stormed out of my room.

After the quick getaways of the brunette, I let myself finally enjoy the warm rays by flying dust in my room before mailing me outside my window. A real smile adorned my fleshy lips at the sight of clarity and I found myself thinking about all the things I could do before remembering the day at the beach. My once cheerful mood immediately fell into a gloomy state and I headed to my closet wearily.

I opted for a pair of blue skinny jeans with holes in the knees with a simple black sweater knitted short and a pair of adidas sneaker low black and white. Once I was finally ready, I grabbed me a pair of round sunglasses before joining Bella in the living room.

Bella and I were doing the route in a relatively comfortable silence while I took advantage of the light rays of the sun and the cool breeze on my skin. Finally, the sign of Goldy's parents sports shop came into view and I soon for me tense at the sight of the large group of teenagers already met. Aimee had already sent me a sms to tell me that there were many people but I certainly did not expect all that.
Surprisingly, Bella did not seem more nervous than that as she parked between two cars before turning off the engine.

I looked straight ahead, chewing on my lower lip before taking my denim jacket to go down. I put on it by analyzing around me just to find that Geeky was the next to two other boys I had no idea the names while Judgy was again accompanied by this dirty blonde, Angela and a group of three other girls who seemed to give the black eye towards Bella.

That was enough to annoy me, telling me that this day was going to be worse than anything I had even imagined.

I was looking for Aimee and immediately saw her approaching me with Mike. The latter addressed him warmly to Bella while Aimee surprised me by simply hugging me to roll my eyes at her entreaties.''Thanks God, you came ! I'm seriously beginning to think I was going to feign a false sprain. ''

She broke away from me with an exaggerated look of disgust and I rolled my eyes before wince at the sudden intervention of Mike before me. '' Dany ! You're finally coming! Who would've believed that!''

'' Well, I missed the plane that would take me back to Phoenix so I guess I'll have to settle in Forks of the sun. '' I declared sarcastically immediately sparking a white boy's face giving me want to running all the way back to the Swan home. '' That was a joke. A simple joke. ''

I rolled my eyes narrowed my lips as he forced himself to laugh in achieving before sharing a look with Aimee as I walked toward the other. I vaguely heard Bella ask Mike to join him in his car and tried immediately to Judgy simply to find shot them with her eyes. I rolled my eyes again pinching the bridge of my nose before suddenly looking up to the agreement again coming close to me.

'' Then, Dany ... you have invited anyone ? '' Asked openly Judgy flanked by her cronies making me grind my teeth in internal to her highly superior air.

I shared a quick look with Aimee before turning with boredom to the brunette with thick curls. '' Aimee is here, right ? ''

'' Oh ! '' Whispered the brunette realizing she had not thought about it and I smiled openly before hasten to overtake at the sight of a new van.

It turned out that two new people were part of the trip so Aimee and I were more than relieved to take her car while Bella had to rush between Mike and Jessica. The brunette gave me a burst in envy as she closed the door behind her and I was smiling from ear to another in fun.

The case of space being controlled, we do not to dart after another. The journey of twenty-five kilometers to the Push passed in a good atmosphere. Aimee had turned on the radio and I was surprised myself humming in harmony with the brunette on a piece of Porcelain Black Pretty psycho before ending in a relaxing crazy-laugh.

As expected, our path was bordered by dense greenery much darker than that of Forks and the closer we got, the more I really realized what was happening to me. The Quileute was not a single Indian community. And I would be the only one to really know what it's going on. That was enough to gnaw my good mood and when we finally boys in the long crescent of First Beach in the Push, I could not help but feel nervous and spying.

I tried to relax by taking in the breathtaking view color steel waves befall on the gray rocky coast and the view of the high islands with denatured cliffs. The view was haunting and certainly different from all the beaches that had been given me to see. The mix of colors, dark ocher, steel gray, green ocean, lavender put me in full view and I quickly swept the beach with envy at the sight of driftwood, huge trunks bleached by the salty waves.

I took a deep breath of fresh air and salt vaguely reminding me of my trips to the famous beaches of New Mexico and took full advantage of the light rays of the sun on my skin. Unfortunately, Aimee soon began to pull me from my haven to join the group that had taken up residence in a log circle made by the sea.

The sight of Bella sides to Mike made me roll my eyes and I was content to sit slightly apart from the group in the hope of don't having to socialize as possible. The sight of flames, blue and green intrigued me for a while and I focused all my attention on them, trying not to think for once.

I could see this event as a sort of break in the nightmares. After all, it had been years since I had not enjoyed the beach. Meanwhile, the sour whispering of small plagues on Bella had deviated in my account and I did the best I could to keep my mind occupied. The worst of it was that they were all but discrete. Although I doubt that it bothered them.

I noticed Bella undergo a sort of little personal dilemma making me watch her interact with the boys. It was hard to think that she would be the one to initiate sex with the great and powerful Weird Cullen. Although it was to be definitely different. After all her desire for the youngest of the family was flawless and she remained a hormonal teenager after all.

Not that I was not but I pretend to think I was not like all the girls on this particular topic.

First, I had never been attracted to any boy whatsoever. Even Edward, who seemed so mesmerizing for some, merely frighten me.

Then, well ... I just was not made for relationships. Whatever type.

Bella eventually join the rest of the group, leaving me with the small group of plague and Tyler and Eric. Fortunately for me, Aimee was not fascinated by the large saltwater pool and she did not hesitate to follow me when I asked her to take a walk along the beach. We remained silent a moment, just enjoying the quiet surrounding us before Aimee finally spoke.

'' You know, I never thought I would be here one day. '' I glanced over the brunette perplexed at this and stared at her with attention. '' With the group of "popular" mingle with the crowd, have a friend. All this has not been done for me. I mean, I know this group from the kindergarten and this is the first time they finally see me. It's really strange to me. ''

I remained silent in the face of time before pucker my lips surprising myself with confidence that I intended to Aimee. '' I'm not a social butterfly at home. I am well ... for the major part ? Invisible. And I loved the invisible. But I don't know. Loneliness is always there, I guess. Then I came here. And all my beliefs are like ... returned. I don't know what to think, what to say, how to act. ''

'' Maybe you should just let you rock then ? '' Suggested the brunette suddenly making me look into a thoughtful silence.

Lulled me ? But in what ? My life was never unpredictable. It was just an organized routine where I knew that nothing would arrive to me. Now, now, I lived in a world of supernatural creatures and for all I knew, my life could end at any moment another. I was ephemeral here. And even if that was how human beings ought to be, I could not help thinking that denial that gave me my own world was easier to manage.

After that, Aimee and I had seen a small group of the hair jet black and tanned skins join the girls and boys around the fire.

I had no doubt about the people populating this group. Teenagers reserve. Therefore, the famous rival.

So it was no great disappointment that I warned Aimee I'd stayed a little longer on the beach before looking her actively walking toward the circle. As for me, I had walked a little longer with the mind full of random thoughts before finally taking place on the gray stones replacing the famous hot sand.

I now stood facing the sea and let the sound of waves replace my tormented thoughts. The sound of cries of joy teenagers could be heard for kilometers around, but I had no desire to join them.

In fact, more I thought about this day and I regretted my world. They were not real. None of them. They were simple designs straight out of the mind of an author for hormonal teenagers. I was not even real myself. After all, my family was here. In other words, I did not have any certainty.

However, my moment of solitude was soon to be cut short as soon as a hand landed on my shoulder, startling me in the process. I turned my head sharply to the boring person just to come face to face with a pretty face. Not in the type Cullen pretty face. Obviously, they were perfect. But in the naturally beautiful kind. His tan skin was contrasted by his long curls of jet black retained by an elastic at the base of the neck and his dark eyes seemed to pierce through me.

Although his some curves here and there could make him look younger, I had no doubt he would create much reaction towards the ladies.

''Dany ? Dany Swan ? ''

And it, he who had made a good impression so far. I immediately frowned my eyebrows in suspicion and amplified my attention to him. '' Who is asking ? ''

'' You really have not changed, huh ? '' Questioned the boy seeming at ease with me reminding me of my first encounter with Bella. Brown seemed to realize my confusion and he pointed to his slightly hurt chest immediately at ease now. '' Dee, it's me, Jake ! Finally, Jacob. ''

The sound of his name was enough to remind me of where I was and the reality of the situation and I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from cursing out loud.

But damn, why it always happens to me ?

''Oh ! Jacob! Yeah, yeah, Jacob Black. '' I recognised in readiness immediately sparking a broad smile facet of the boy to the dark skin before I finished in silence the way. '' Yep, Jacob. Jacob ... ''

His smile diminished somewhat before he signed the free space on my side. '' Can I ? ''

'' Oh, uh ... yeah, yeah. '' I responded by shifting me still slightly awkward.

But what was I doing ? It was Jacob! Jacob Black in the end.

A new silence.

'' Finally, you may have changed a bit. '' Suddenly intervened the brown boy making me stare him in curiosity despite myself.

''Really ?''

A smile graced his beautiful face again and unlike the Cullens, I was not scared. Although I knew the creature he would become in some time. Although I did not really know how it worked. I had not pushed my reading so far.

Anyway, he surprised me again by suddenly striking his shoulder with mine in a spirit of camaraderie before approaching me, suddenly enveloping me in a kind of halo heat.

'' Well, I used to be your exception. '' Explained brown with a wink confident before slightly ashamed at my expression aback. '' Not like this. God, you really don't remember me ? ''

I winced, weighing the pros and cons to play along as I am with Bella and tell him the truth. Honestly, I had enough to make me look like someone I was not. '' No, sorry. ''

Surprisingly, he did not seem offended in the slightest but more amused than anything else. His hoarse laugh surprised me again before he struck again his shoulder against mine once making me wince.

God, he was hard for a teenager. Or it was just me who definitely lacked of physical construction. Anyway, if he continued like that, he would dislocate my shoulder.

'' I suppose it's understandable. It's was not as if we had spent all our holidays together without ever really leaving themselves for an entire year, huh ? '' He replied with a smirk and I was pleasantly surprised to hear the sarcasm in his voice.

God, he was not as nice in the book. Annoying and childish, perhaps, but nice ?

'' Maybe you're not as distinctive as you think ? '' Would catch me I answer back sparking a slight laugh from the boy.

A laugh that I seemed increasingly appreciated.

'' Maybe. '' Jacob teased with a playful nod before taking me by surprise as he suddenly stood up. ''Let's go join the rest of the group. Bella is infact the one that told me where you were standing. ''

Bella ! Obviously! Then she talked with him, huh ? Waits ! He had spoken to her ? No, he could not. If my memory was good, Jacob was the one to reveal the identity of Cullen. Oh, it was not good.

I got up suddenly in my turn before giving an almost alarmed look on Jacob. '' Did you talk to Bella ? ''

'' Uh, yes ? '' Replied the boy immediately to the red skin visibly confused by my new change of mood. ''It's a problem? I know her from my childhood. ''

I rolled my eyes at unnecessary bit of information before I even surprise myself by putting my hands flat on the biceps of Jacob. '' What are you talking about ? ''

'' You sure you're okay, Danny ? '' Move back a little the boy with a frown making me pinching the bridge of my nose in impatience.

It was not the moment to waste the time!

'' Jacob. Are you talked her about Cullen? '' I asked deciding to go straight to the point this time.

However, if Jacob stiffened, is was a new grave voice answered in his place. '' The children of Dr Cullen ? ''

I let a little cry of surprise just before turning around to come face to face with a boy or rather a man huge as a buffalo. I tried to catch my breath realizing how stupid I sounded weak now before straighten me with head high.

I was not going to be intimidated by a supernatural creature. After all, I had held off three fucking vampire. Including a great vampire of war. At least that was what the fanatics said on Jasper.

'' The Cullens don't come here. '' Cut the man flatly giving me want to roll my eyes open to his solemnity.

Of course ! I already knew. They were vampires ! And you werewolves !

A heavy silence descended on our little group leaving me looking anywhere but at Jacob or that the strange guy before I finally crack. '' Great ! Well, you know what ? I think I'll go back with the other.''

I do not even expect an answer to turn around and immediately hurried on to the noisy group of teenagers. They put the CD leaving a wave techno music brutalize the calm and relaxing sound of the waves.

However, I soon to be quickly rejoind by Jacob himself. '' Hey, Dany, wait! ''

I was a break in my race despite my first idea to suddenly take a step back to the imposing figure of the boy.

Whoa ! He did what ? 6'7 ?

'' Holy shit, you're all so fucking tall here ? '' Me I exclaimed without thinking immediately collecting a wide smile of the boy in front of me.

'' You always give whiplash to people that you meet ? '' Replied the boy vaguely recalling a previous conversation with a different person and I immediately cursed myself for even thinking about him.

I chewed my lower lip unconsciously before lifting my eyes with attitude. '' Very funny. ''

''I am sorry. For Sam. '' Intervened suddenly the boy collecting my attention. '' He's really into all this stuff of legends and ... ''

'' Yeah, yeah, I understand. ''I was cutting him with a sharp nod. '' No problem. I should not have to ask you all these questions. ''

Jacob blushed again leaving me watching him in curiosity as he suddenly rubbed the back of his neck.'' In fact, you were right. Bella asked me some questions about Cullen. ''

I threw a burst immediately on the circle not far from us, looking Bella in the process before turning my eyes on Jacob in annoyance.

I knew I could not enjoy him longer than necessary. It was too weird.

'' And ? ''

'' Well, I have not really had time to respond. '' Replied slightly embarrassed Jacob letting me look him in surprise and relief. '' I was a little anxious to see you. ''

That was enough to cool me and I stared at him in total surprise. '' Me ? Why ?''

'' Well, you don't maybe remember but you were the one closest to my age and Charlie never kept telling me he was another girl with whom I could certainly get on. And surprisingly, when you came, we stuck right now. '' Explained the boy also informing me about our relationship leaving me looking him slightly guilty for not having recognized him. '' So yes, I was a little hurry to see you. ''

'' Oh ! '' I whispered shyly, crossing my arms over my chest now regretting not having taken my denim jacket. '' Now I feel stupid not to have recognized you. ''

Jacob gave a knowing smile on his lips before looking over his shoulder to where we were before my getaway. '' If you want, I can try to refresh your memory ? ''

I glanced at the teenager circle before watching the boy in front of me and let a grin settling on my lips. I followed him back to where I sat and sat down beside him in a new comfortable silence. I approached my knees against my chest, my chin resting on top before I leave again captivated by the beauty of the waves.

'' You want to hear scary stories ? '' Suggested the boy suddenly making me stare at him suspiciously.

Why does no good inspired me worthwhile ? Oh yes ! Probably because he had to use exactly the same words with Bella. However, it was to scare her, not the thrilling, as now.

I frowned immediately my eyebrows, noticed again a character seemed out of character before pucker my lips.'' You're not supposed to keep that a secret ? ''

'' Hey, I'm trying to revive memories of you here. '' Jacob commented with a mischievous smile stretching his big mouth.

I gave him a flat look obviously not impressed by his bluff attempt before crossing my arms around my legs. '' Why not talk cars instead ? ''

I vaguely remembered that the boy had a passion for this kind of thing. I was not a big connoisseur on the subject but to be honest, I preferred to avoid at all costs the supernatural subject. I had enough to manage on weekdays and the weekend seemed to be my only respite.

'' Afraid ? '' Teased the boy making me immediately perk up, narrowing my eyes on him in the challenge.

I was not easily intimidated and even less by a boy of fifteen.

'' Okay ! I listen.''

A broad smile settled on the plump boy's face as he turned to me with animation. '' You know our old legends ? Those of our origins, we Quileute Indians ? ''

I restrained myself from rolling my eyes obviously do not want upset him before watching him with a slight grin to my knowledge. '' Those on wolves ? ''

A surprised look crossed his face making me smile against my hand before he said cheerfully.''Perhaps you know those wolves but what about the Composure ? ''

Obviously !

'' Would appear not. '' I lied through my teeth immediately sparking a smug expression of the boy.

'' The legends about it are as old as those of wolves. There are even of much more recent. One of them says that my own great-grandfather experienced Composure. It was he who had negotiated the agreement banning them from our land. ''

It was clear he did not believe a word of what he said and yet it was real. Worse, I was taken to my own game. Jacob was a great storyteller and I found myself wanting more. Which was ridiculous since I already knew the truth.

'' Your great-grandfather, eh ? '' I was supporting myself risking a shove in his own.

Jacob gave me a wink before resuming pompous seriously. '' He was an ancient tribe, like my father. You see, the Composure are the natural enemies of wolves. Finally, more accurately, wolves have turned into men, like our ancestors. Those you call werewolves. ''

'' Hmm, interesting. '' I was commenting with a playful smile before staring him mischievously. '' But I thought you were supposed to tell me scary stories ? ''

The boy narrowed his eyes at me with amusement before recovering with confidence. '' I have not finished yet. The Composure are our traditional enemies. But the pack of those who have appeared on our territory in the time of my great-grandfather was different. ''

Edwund !

'' Let me guess, they were kind of enemies ? ''

The boy suddenly sighed, raising his arms in the air before shaking his head. '' God, you're worse than a child. ''

'' What ? '' I feigned innocence really surprise me to enjoy his company.

'' When I have my license, I'll come see you in Forks. '' Inquired the boy immediately in the excitement making me immediately nodded in agreement.

'' And I would do the same, when I would get mine. ''

However, it reminded me how much it was false. I already had my license. And a car. In my world.

''Dany ? Dany ? Dee, where are you ? ''

I perked up at hearing my name before rolling my eyes at the sight of Bella walking awkwardly through the small gray wood pallets. Her gaze seemed to brighten my sight before she widened her eyes at the sight of Jacob with me. I rolled my eyes again before straighten me, sweeping dirt from my jeans as Jacob.

Bella was about to speak only she was soon joined by Miss. Judgy herself causing me to bite the inside of my cheek in anticipation. '' Oh, we did not know you had them both. ''

The underlying tone was evident in her voice annoying me a little more. It seemed alert Bella as she shook her head in my direction.

'' Jacob and Dany have always been close. He was her first friend. '' Explained the brunette with a neutral air confirming my thoughts about the boy with me.

I gave a quick glance at Jacob to see him smile with pride before lifting my eyes in impatience.''You wanted something, Bella ? ''

'' Oh, uh, Aimee had to leave. Her little brother was injured in playing football. '' Me warns Bella making me wince once the light concerns intersect with boredom. '' Looks like you're going to go with us. ''

'' Yeah. '' I replied sarcastically sparking a small amused snort of Jacob. '' I'll just say goodbye and I would be all yours. ''

I gave an urgent look at the two girls from clearly wanting to thank Jacob for finally give me a little respite before rolling my eyes in exaggerated gait of Judgy.

'' I'll probably end up stabbing the girl with a fork ! '' I growled under my breath toward Jake.

A chuckle escaped from the boy's chest until I was suddenly enveloped in a warm embrace. I caught myself to make him back before finally taking a step back to look at him with a genuine smile on my face. Jacob accompanied me to the parking lot just as the rain began to fall and I hurried to get into the suburban of Tyler after again thank Jacob. This day was not as bad because of him.

However, even if he helped, I could not deny my desire to go home. This time it was final. I would find a way back.


So here is !

The entrance to Jacob :) I do not think I would tap that character of a romantic side to Dany but you never know. Anyway, I look forward to your response on this new chapter.

Do not hesitate, you make my day !
