Kala's P.O.V

Chapter 7:

Once the guys had seen the room we all went downstairs into the kitchen and I pulled out a packet of chocolate chip cookies, "Cookies anyone?" I asked and they all pounced on me like a pack of wolves!

By the time they had moved away from the packet there was half a cookie left. Half a cookie! I was not happy. I loved chocolate chip cookies!

I glared at them all and saw Tom was just about to put his last one into his mouth so I lunged forward, swiped it out of his hand and ate it, along with the leftover half.

"Hey! That's only supposed to happen on tv! And in movies!" he exclaimed and we all laughed.

"Hey! I just had an idea!" Jake said, "We're having a bonfire down at first beach tonight with some friends, why don't you guys come? Get to know some more people!"

"Yeah okay!" I cried without waiting for anyone else's thoughts. This would be awesome! The beach! Yes! I loved the beach! And a bonfire! Cool! I started bouncing on my heels in excitement.

"I think Kal just decided for us." Seb said and I grinned at him.

"Cool so we are all getting there around five, so in an hour okay? I have to pick up someone, so does Quil so we might be later but Embry and Seth will be there, and Seth's sister Leah. Then a few other guys we know, it's sorta like a family get-together." Jake said.

"Well if it's a family get together then are you sure we should come?" I asked, not wanting to intrude.

Embry smirked and Quil snorted then both of them looked at Seth and elbowed him. I looked at Seth confused and caught my breath. I hadn't really looked at him yet, but now that I did I noticed how…well… good-looking he was. He was buffed like the other guys but not as much and even though he looked about twenty he still had a sort of boyish look about him. I loved it.

"Of course you should come! Here we refer to everyone as practically family, we are all so close and this'll be a great way for you to meet the rest of the tribe!" Quil said ginning.

"Okay cool." Tom said grinning. He was excited.

"Right well we'll meet you there okay?" Embry said and they all turned to leave.

"Sure, thanks for the invite guys." Ryan called as they got into the car.

"No probs!" Jake called back.

Once they drove off I started singing, "We're going to the beach! We're going to the beach!" I skipped upstairs and was about to change into something more suitable for the beach when Seb called "Your not going to be able to swim Kal! The water will be freezing at this time! At least wait until tomorrow!"

One of the annoying things about Seb is that he is always logical. And, of course, he was right, the water would be freezing. I guess I could wait until tomorrow to get in the water.

So instead of changing into shorts and top I changed into Jeans and a white and blue shirt with a dark blue sloppy joe over the top. It probably would be cold down there.

I skipped back downstairs and asked, "Ready to go?"

"We still have half an hour Kal." Tom rolled his eyes as he opened the fridge, he pulled out some of the leftover Chinese from last night and I said, "I'll have some of that!"

I got out two bowls and chopsticks from the drawer as Tom divided the leftovers evenly into the bowls.

By the time we had finished the leftovers it was five minutes to five. Ryan and Seb were in the living room watching some tv show and Tom and I had just washed up our dirty dishes and put them away.

Now some people might wonder, if we are going to a bonfire there is sure to be food, so why eat food before we go? Well that would be because I can eat a lot, I could eat a whole meal then ask for seconds and once I had finished my seconds I would go onto desert and get seconds for that as well. Tom was the same. So we ate a lot, but thanks to our awesome metabolism we never really gained any weight. Weird I know but cool.

But to get back to my point, we ate the leftovers because we were hungry and trust me, I still have plenty of room left in the tank for more food and I'm pretty sure Tom does too.

The two of us walked into the living room and asked at the same time, "Ready to go?" Yeah we do that sometimes, it sort of freaks some people out but I guess it's a twin thing.

Ryan and Seb jumped up and nodded, we locked the doors, Ryan grabbed the keys and we were on our way to the beach! Yes!

It took two minutes to walk to First Beach and I could see the smoke from the already lit bonfire.

"This is gonna be so cool!" Tom said, mirroring my thoughts.

I spotted Seth talking excitedly to an older girl who looked happy and sad at the same time. I didn't even know it was possible to do that. Well I guess I do now.

I led us over to Seth and the older girl who, on closer inspection looked like him. This must be Seth's sister Leah.

"Hey Seth!" I said happily and he turned around. He looked at me and I felt my breath catch in my throat. He had the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes and they had a sort of spark in them.

He grinned so big I was sure his face was going to crack when he saw us, "Hey guys, this is my sister Leah." He said gesturing to the other girl.

"Hi Leah!" Tom and I said at the same time.

We all laughed and Leah said "Freaky. You guys are twins?" and we nodded.

"Hey I'm Sebastian, but call me Seb." Seb said and shook her hand.

"I-I'm Ryan." Ryan stuttered and I looked at him and smirked. He was gazing at Leah like she was the first woman he had ever seen.

"H-Hi." Leah stuttered back with a look that matched Ryan's one of amazement.

I locked eyes with Tom and we both lifted our eyebrows up in a 'what the?' face.

Leah and Ryan were still staring at each other and I saw Seth's mouth drop open. I mean literally drop open. He was looking at Leah blankly when all of a sudden he punched his fist in the air and 'wooped'.

I repeat. 'What the?'

Tom coughed and Ryan blinked as if waking up from a trance. Leah jumped, looked at Seth and then back at Ryan. Then all of a sudden, with a huge grin on her face, Leah grabbed Ryan's hand and said while she pulled him towards the fire, "Come on I'll introduce you to some people." Without a word Ryan followed her, similar to a way a sheep would follow a Sheppard.

"Hey guys!" Embry yelled out to us jogging over.

"Hey Embry." Seb said.

"Where was Leah going with Ryan?" Embry asked.

Seb, Tom and I shrugged but Seth gave Embry a significant look and, just like Seth, Embry's mouth dropped to the ground.

"No way." He whispered.

"Way dude. Way." Seth grinned back at him.

"Do I have permission to be confused?" I asked.

They all laughed but I was being serious. What was going on? I felt out of the loop.

"Yeah I suppose you do." Embry grinned at me.

"So your not going to tell me what's going on?" I asked.

"Oh I won't but Seth will sometime I should think." Embry winked at me and Seth punched him in the arm.

Okay now I was even more confused.

"Come one Tom, Seb, I'll introduce you to some of the guys." Embry said and with a wink at Seth he led Tom and Seb away. I shared a look with Tom as he walked past me. With a smirk he made kissing faces at me so in return I gave him a death glare.

When the other had gone and it was just Seth and I. I looked up at him, he was really tall, and said, "So do you know what just happened?"

"Err yeah I do." He said.

I sighed, "Your not going to tell me?"

"Not yet. I will, just not yet." He answered. Well isn't someone mysterious.

"You want me to introduce you to some people?" he asked and I nodded.

He led me over closer to the fire and I noticed there was also a table stacked with food. And the food looked delicious.

We walked over to three couples that were standing talking with each other, they looked at us when we walked up to them and I held in a gasp when I saw that one of the women had three long scars down her face. I immediately felt sorry for her.

"Kala this is Sam and Emily." Seth gestured to the woman with the scar and the man with his arm around her waist.

"Hi Kala, I'm Emily." Emily said with a smile that only pulled up on one side of her mouth. I smiled at her and said "Hi Emily.

"I'm Sam, welcome to the family Kala." The guy named Sam said and he held out his hand for me to shake. I shook it and was surprised by how warm it was.

"This is Jared and Kim." Seth said gesturing to the next couple.

"Hey Kala." They both said at the same time and when they did they looked at each other lovingly with smiles on their faces.

"Hey." I said back.

"And this is Paul and Rachel." Seth said gesturing to the last couple, "Rachel is Jake's older sister."

"Oh hi!" I said and Rachel smiled back at me, "Hey Kala, pretty name."

I grinned at her and said thanks. "Kala… Fire?" the guy named Paul asked me and I nodded.

"How did you know?" I asked, only my family knew what my name meant.

He shrugged and said, "We were looking up baby names, saw it on a website one time."

"Oh! Are you expecting?" I asked Rachel and she grinned and nodded.

"Congratulations!" I said to them both and started bouncing on my heels. A baby! I loved little kids! They were so cute!

"Thanks." Paul said and kissed Rachel on the cheek.

"Hey look Quil, Clair, Jake and Nessie are here!" Seth said, "Come one you have to meet Clair and Nessie." Seth said, he grabbed my hand and I felt a jolt of electricity as we touched.

I jumped and looked at him, he looked at me with shock in his eyes, "Sorry." He said but I shook my head and said, "It's fine." The feeling of his warm hand in mine felt so…right. I didn't want to let go but I let him when he slid his hand out of mine slowly.

We walked over to Jake and Quil who were both holding the hands of two little girls. One looked to be about three and the other about four or five.

"Hey guys!" Seth called and the little girl holding Quils hand cried, "Unca Sef!" she ran over to him and hugged his legs.

Seth laughed and my insides fluttered at the sound, "Hey Clair bear." Seth smiled hugging her back.

"Ooooo who id dis Unca Sef?" she asked looking up at me.

I smiled at her and crouched down so I was at her height, "Hello Clair, my name is Kala."

"Kawa…Hewo Kawa! My nabe id Cwair!" she cried happily and hugged me. I laughed, she was so cute, and hugged her back.

The other girl Seth had called Nessie skipped over. My eyes widened at how beautiful she was. She had pale skin with large, golden eyes and bronze colored hair that curled down to her waist. As she skipped over I noticed how graceful she was, like a ballerina.

"Hi Seth!" she hugged his legs then tugged on his shirt so he would bend down. He crouched down next to me and Nessie put her palm on his face, Seth nodded at her with a huge grin on his face and she laughed and hugged him again.

Then Nessie turned to me, still grinning and said, "Hi Kala, I'm Renesme but everyone calls me Nessie!"

I was impressed she was able to pronounce such a difficult name, she couldn't be any older than five but I smiled at her and said, "Nice to meet you Nessie, I'm Kala but you can call me Kal if you want."

"Okay Kal!" she cried and hugged me, I hugged her back and when she let go she ran back to Jake who picked her up with a smile.

"Okay now that we have introduced ourselves, how about some food?" Quil asked. I nodded grinning and we all walked over to the table wit food and started filling up our plates.
