Chapter VI

Mia sat on the lonely backseat that once belonged to a car. She watched Jacob as he repaired the motorcycle without the covers on him. Mia glanced towards the radio, playing music that Mia didn't like at all, nor did she felt like listening to any kind of music like she did before. She got up from the seat and walked around Jacob to press off on the radio. Jacob looked at, kind of a disappointed that she turned off the radio.

"The song's good." Jacob said. "You don't like it?"

"No…" Mia answered as she sat back down on the lonely backseat. "I kind of a lost my interest in music."

"Okay. No more music." Jacob said, his eyes focused on fixing the motorcycle.

"Hey, I was wondering…" Mia spoke. "Why are there a lot of wolf symbols in this place?" Mia asked and Jacob glanced at her.

"Why do you wanna know?" Jacob asked.

"I don't know. Do you worship wolves?" Jacob chuckled.

"No. There is a legend that Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves." Jacob answered.

"What?" Mia laughed. "Really?"

"Yeah." Jacob nod. "That's the legend of our tribe."

"Sounds interesting." Mia commented.

"Yo, Jake, you in there?" Two boys walked inside the garage. One had short dark brown hair while the other had long hair like Jacob.

"Hey. Guys, this is Mia." Jacob introduced. "Mia, that's Quil and Embry."

"I'm Quil Ateara." Quil said, making Mia slightly chuckle inside herself. "So the bike building story is true."

"Yep." Mia spoke. "He's teaching me everything he knows..."

"Even about the part where you're his girlfriend?" Quil asked, making Mia raise her eyebrows.

"That part?" Mia repeated and looked at Jacob. "You're my boyfriend, Jake?" Mia asked. "I thought I friend zoned you." Mia joked

"Burn." Embry exclaimed while laughing at Mia's statement.

"Actually…" Jacob awkwardly started. "…remember I said she's a girl and a friend."

"Embry, do you remember him making that distinction?" Quil asked Embry.

"Nope." Embry answered.

"You guys don't have girlfriends to deal with?" Mia wondered, making Jacob laugh slightly.

"Yeah, right." Jacob scoffed. "Quil's actually taking his cousin to prom." They laughed slightly, while Quil looked uncomfortable. Poor Quil.

"Yeah, that's still a riot." Quil said. "You want funny, Black? I'll give you funny."

Quil marched at Jacob and they started to fight like children. Some boys just don't grow up. Mia thought in her head while Emery walked to her side, giving them more space to fight and break a couple of things along the way.

"I got 5 bucks on Quil." Embry said.

"You're on."

Dear diary,

I am glad to say I'm feeling better. I no longer feel like I'm dead, but alive, thanks to Jake. I started to eat, my hobby started to be handing with Jake and fixing bikes or just watch him fix bikes, and I might also start writing in you more.

My powers are….I don't know. There, but not there. I feel them sometimes, but then I'm afraid to touch them because of her. Her evil voice inside me disappeared, no longer does it yell inside my head, calls me to darkness and appears in front of me with a wicked smirk.

But sometimes, I dream of him again. Wishing he was still with me. Hah. Just when I think I'm finally over him, I again find myself at the very start of missing him. I wish I could forget him, but that hope that he will return never leaves my heart.

At least I have Jake, and he's keeping me sane enough.

-Mia

Mia drove one old truck that was in Jacob's yard, which Jacob couldn't drive since he didn't have the license yet and Billy didn't even want him to drive without him watching him. She drove the, now working, motorcycles in the back of the truck on the wet road. She glanced at Jacob, who was silently watching the road and seemed too much quite to Mia. Mia didn't manage to speak when she noticed four guys standing at the edge of the cliff with perfect view of the sea. They were all shirtless, in cropped pants.

"Who are those guys?" Mia wondered.

"Sam Uley and his cult." Jacob answered.

Mia stared at them, slowing down the truck slightly as she did. She noticed two guys pushing another guy while Sam Uley stood behind and watched. They suddenly pushed the guy, and cheered, while Mia gasped and stopped the car.

"Did they just throw him?" Mia asked, glancing at Jacob who laughed.

"They're cliff diving, Mia." Jacob said. "Scary as hell. But a total rush." Another guy jumped.

"Huh…?" Mia murmured.

"Most of us jump from lower down. We leave the showing off to Sam and his disciples." Jacob said

"They seem like bunch of idiots." Mia admitted and Jacob slightly chuckled.

"They think they run this place." Jacob said. "Embry used to call them hall monitors on steroids. Now look at him."

"That's Embry?" Mia wondered, looking at the boy next to Sam before he jumped.

"Yeah."

"What happened to him?"

"He missed some school. Then all off a sudden, he started following Sam around like a little puppy." Jacob said. "Same thing happened with Paul and Jared. Sam keeps giving me this look. Like he's waiting for me or something. It's kinda starting to freak me out."

"Just avoid him." Mia said.

"I'll try..." Jacob said and Mia pressed the gas pedal and continued driving.

"If he gives you trouble…" Mia started and looked at Jacob. "I'm the one who's going to punch him." Jacob laughed.

"If you say so."

"Damn right I say so." Mia laughed.

Mia sat up on the bike. She placed her hands on the handles while Jacob stood in front of the bike. Can't believe I am this crazy to drive a bike. Mia took a deep breath and let it out. She looked up at Jacob who had a small grin on his face.

"You're ready?"

"Born ready."

"Alright." Jacob said and placed his hands on top of her to show her how bike works. "Break?" Jacob said and Mia slightly gripped the break lever. "Clutch?" Mia gripped the other handle. "Good. Gas?" Mia pressed the red button and slightly twisted the grip, making the bike roar. "Ready? Now slowly release the clutch."

"Mia." Mia saw a see-through hand of his on her left hand and she looked up at his face. Edward. "Stop." Mia closed her eyes tightly. Get out of my head. Mia opened her eyes again and he wasn't there anymore. Why is he appearing now?

"Okay." Mia spoke and then released the clutch.

Jacob watched her weirdly, feeling confused as she seemed to fall into small daze a few seconds ago. The motorcycle started to move forwards and Mia found herself wondering what she was doing. Where is my head? She saw shadows of Edward on each side of the road. Why is he doing this to me?

Mia tried not to look at him as he appeared on each side of her road. Mia looked at one of his shadow and when she looked back in front, her eyes wide. The shadow of her own self standing on the road. Her eyes dark blue, almost black. A Dark witch. A smirk played on her lips, a wicked smirk. She's back.

"There is darkness in you, Mia!" The dark her said. "Death or darkness. Choose Mia!"

Mia lost total control of the wheel. She suddenly found herself falling off the bike, rolling over the ground and hitting a large rock. Mia felt pain go through her body. Vision blurred in front of her for a second before she sat up, hearing a sound of a bike and then Jake was in front of her.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Jacob asked, fear for her and worry in his voice.

"Wasn't planning too." Mia answered.

"Man, your head." Jacob murmured, making Mia reach up on her head where she felt warm and wet on her skin.

"Oh, God…" Mia commented as she touched the blood on the side of her forehead. "Great…"

"It's just blood, Mia. No big deal."

Mia watched Jacob as he stood up and takes off his shirt. Since when does he have that kind of a body? Mia wondered as she watched his muscular. He crouched by her and pressed his shirt like gauze slightly against the cut. Mia stared at him, not feeling like taking her eyes off of him even though she knows he noticed her staring.

"What are you staring at?"

"You." Mia answered. "You're kind of a hot." Mia said and Jacob stared at her for a while.

"How hard did you hit your head?" Jacob wondered and Mia chuckled.

"Hard enough to tell you that." Mia said, laughing with Jacob.

"Let's go." Jacob said and helped her up of the ground.

I must have hit my head way too hard.
