SORRY! I've been super busy trying not to get my phone taken off me this week - but to no avail :-( Oh well! Here is a new chapter, and by the way, I will be doing a 10,000 word chapter when 'This Is Gonna Be Great' gets 100 reviews :-D YAY! I DO NOT OWN ANY TWILIGHT RELATED REFERENCES.


Outside my bedroom door,

I heard the scratching of its claws

wanting to get into my sanctuary.

Its growl was low and chilling

that my neck hairs stood on end

as it returned to scratching once more.

I lay there in my bed too fearful to move

wondering what hellish creature wanted to get in.

I watched the handle turn;

my heartbeat echoed in my ears,

fright stole my voice

as I lay there in my fears.

A slice of light cut the room into two.

I sank beneath the covers hoping not to be seen,

then a voice spirited around me

as someone pulled the sheet from my bed.

She stood there in ghostly white

and my wife screamed at me.

"Get up you big sissy it's only Halloween."

-David Harris


"That'll be $36.95" Jill said in an overly bored tone. She had now landed a job at 'Snips and Snaps' – thanks to me. I tried my best to smirk, but it was considerably hard since I had a handful of pretzels in my mouth. I snorted loudly when the customer finally left.

"Great patience, love" I pulled off a British accent fluently. I rubbed my hands up and down my jeans to take away the excess salt from my fingertips.

"Excited for tonight?" Jill asked whilst stacking a few boxes on the shelves. Her blonde hair was tied in a loose bun and her tattoos were on display for everyone to see – she still looked amazing.

"Oh yes, it should be fun prancing around in a piece of cloth" I laughed, helping her lift up an overly heavy one. We both swiped the line of perspiration forming on our foreheads before grabbing our bags.

"We're off, Kelly!" we yelled together, catching the attention of a few customers in the small, enclosed space. She barely looked at us as she wished us a 'Happy Halloween'. We were in my car within seconds, turning up the volume at full blast.

"What are you going as again?!" Jill screamed at me over the thumping music. Even then I could barely hear her.

"Seductive Mafia Leader! It looks fucking amazing!" I screamed back, taking a sharp turn around a round-about. We made it to our street in record time, looking at distaste at all the houses with Halloween decorations hanging in trees and on the verandas. I nearly laughed at Jill's overly orange house if she wasn't glaring at me.

"Don't you dare" her whole voice was full of venom, making me crack a grin. She jumped out of the car before she could hear my raging laughter.

"Dad! I'm home!" I yelled to my invisible father. I could smell the faint burnt lasagne scent throughout the house, making me instantly roll my eyes.

"Hey Bells, are you trick-or-treating this year?" he walked out to great me from the kitchen. Burn stains and marks were noticeable on both his clothes and hair.

"When you say 'trick-or-treating', do you really mean getting pissed off my face?" I questioned, setting down my costume I had bought in my lunch break.

"Take this" he held out a can of pepper spray to me – much like the one I was supposed to use on James. I took the cool metal in my palm, tossing it around.

"So I won't get raped?" I asked. He answered me with a nod before he walked off.

"I need to go into work tonight, so Jake and Jill can stay over if they want" Charlie was now open with the fact that Jill and Jake would sleep over anyway, so he didn't ban it in any sort of way – something I was grateful for.

"Let me guess: you need to save this tiny town from evil?" I laughed.

"Oh yeah, didn't you hear? I'm the new hero in town" Old man, if you wanted to protect our town, you would have staked the Cullen's a long time ago. He left with a quick 'goodbye', uniform in hand. I smirked at his eagerness, before rushing to get up stairs. I only had an hour to look fuckable, and I wasn't going to let a second go to waste.


"Damn, Africa! You clean up good" Jill awed at my appearance in the mirror. I had the whole combat thing thought out: black heels, camouflage ¾ leggings and bra halter top, a hat and my hair was done up pretty well. Red lipstick made the whole outfit stand out even more.

"And who are you supposed to be? Carmen Electra?" I asked, looking up and down at the barely there cloth draping over her body.

"I'm a porn star, duh" she rolled her eyes at my 'stupidness' before sitting on my bed. She was wearing silver very short shorts, silver bra, black mini-jacket that barely covered her ribs, high heels and her hair was curled to extremes. Just as she started flicking through my magazines, a loud banging sound echoed around the sound. Here comes Jacob.

"Hey – oh my Jesus" Jill and I both looked at each other at Jacob's reaction. Grins spread across our faces as he noticed a bulge in his 'Air Force Pilot' uniform. His brown skin matched everything perfectly, as well as the police sunglasses covering his eyes.

"Nice to see you, too" Jill joked, standing up and twirling around. "You like?" she question not a second later. He looked awkward before nodding, the bulge still very noticeable. He blushed before running into the bathroom.


"Trick or treat!" Jill, Jake and I yelled at the same time. The old woman looked distastefully at Jill and I, but gave Jake a warm smile. It was the same reactions we had got from the other senior citizens at 'Forks Retirement Retreat'. Fuck me, even the name sounds like Freddy Kruger's rape dungeon.

"Have a good night" she sighed before slamming the door shut. Jill and I scowled at the cream door before stomping off.

"The old hag gave me toothpaste. Toothpaste!" Jill's shrill voice could be heard from Seattle, making Jake and I laugh. We finally drove away from the place that smelled of cleaning chemicals and dead cats. As soon as we drove past the 'Welcome To La Push' sign, we were welcomed with the thumping of music and booming laughter from party-goers.

"This is my Disneyland" I sighed, enjoying the crowds of people dancing by bonfires. We stopped off by the beach, which was where the actual party was. There were around 300 people on the one beach – some were splashing around in the water while the rest were getting pissed off their faces. I laughed as a huge Quileute boy lifted and threw a blonde bimbo in a witches costume in the ocean. She came up a few seconds later, spluttering curses at the boy. Jake got out the beer and vodka from the back seat while Jill and I ran down to the beach - sometimes jumping over people who were passed out.

"The party's here!" Jake yelled from the top of the sand hill. He was met with a bunch of yells and screams of excitement.

"I'm gonna go find me a nice Quileute boy" Jill yelled to me over the loud music. I nodded, showing her I understood, before I stood over where Jake was.

"-ame to the party" I just caught the end of some boys conversation. He was the same hot guy from the beach.

"Hey hot guy!" I exclaimed, dancing to the music as I did so. He smiled and passed me a tropical drink. I took a sip and immediately was hit with the stench of vodka.

"The name's Paul" he held out his hand, which I shook cautiously.

"The name's Bellsy" I replied back, already experiencing some of the alcohol. This isn't vodka – I wouldn't be out 'til another three hours otherwise.

"Enjoying the party?" he asked, looking around at the crowd as if he was expecting to find someone. I nodded, and took another sip of the mysterious drink.

"What's in this?" I questioned, looking at the yellow and orange swirls of the drink now mixed together.

"Vodka, tequila, rum…mostly" I stumbled a bit, but was thankful Jake caught me just in time.

"Are you crazy?! Are you trying to kill her?!" he snarled, setting me up right. I slapped his hands away, but found him and a lot of other things were starting to blur together.

"I'm just showing her a fun time! There's no harm in that" someone handed me a bottle of chilled liquid. I took a sip, making the blurs come to a stop. Water, my good friend.

"Don't pull that shit again, you hear?" Jake hissed, putting a brotherly arm around my waist. I put most of my weight on him, already knowing he wouldn't mind.

"Have you found your imprint yet?" Paul questioned a few minutes later, expecting me to be too pissed to hear. Pfft, douche.

"Nah, have you?"

"Nah, but I'm living the single life" he took another sip of his beer before crushing it in his hand. I snorted before voicing my thoughts.

"Your imprint is Rachael Black, duh" my voice was low and husky, much like Jacob's.

"I saw her the other night, dumbass. Trust me, she's not my imprint" he chuckled, expecting that whole thing to come from Jake. Ha! Please. Wait, who the fuck is his imprint then?!

"I'm good now, thanks" I lifted myself from Jake, surprised to find my vision and mind was cleared from any alcohol. It was difficult to walk in heels around the beach, so like any normal person, I took them off and handed them to Jacob.

"Stay" I commanded, much like an owner to a dog. I smirked when I saw Paul's head swivel to me. I danced my way through the crowd, picking gup random's drinks along the way.

"Bella!" I heard a very annoying yet familiar voice call out to me. I cringed as I saw Mike Newton push through the people by the bonfire.

"Puppy" I greeted, taking a gulp of a Cruiser. He had perspiration clung to his forehead and was dressed up as Batman. Well done Puppy, you really do stand out. Dumbass.

"Do you want to dance?" he asked, hopeful. I pulled an ugly face, before shaking my head.

"I just can't. Since Edward, it's just been so hard – I can't live without him" I bit my bottom lip to stop myself from laughing. He put a 'comforting' hand on my shoulder before whispering in my ear.

"I can take your mind off him" To rest his case, he took out a condom from his Speedo pocket. I stared wide-eyed as he winked at me.

"I'll give you five seconds to run, before I beat you to a pulp" I warned, already cracking my knuckles.

"Come on – you and I both look sexy tonight. We were made for each other" he leant in, so much so that I could smell the tacky scent of champagne on his breath. Pussy. I pulled my fist up, and enjoyed the nice crack sound his nose made when I hit my target. He went down to the ground within seconds, clutching his nose in desperation. I kicked him one last time close to his nether-regions, making my point even more so clearer. I walked off without a second glance.

"What happened to you?" Jill asked, red mouthed and glassy-eyed. I rolled my eyes at the hickey forming on her neck.

"Puppy happened to me" I huffed, sitting on one of the tree trunks away from the beach. I still had a clear view of everything and everyone, but they were just specks in the distance. By now it was close to midnight, meaning Charlie would be back in a few hours.

"Let me guess, he tried to rape you?" she snickered, sitting on the ground next to me. Her feet looked as bad as mine: bruised and red.

"Tried, and failed terribly" I chuckled, staring down at her. How could someone who had made out with more than four guys still look drop dead gorgeous?

"You know, I'm really glad I met you" Jill spoke up, interrupting my thoughts. Her eyes were as bright at the sky during summer, overlooking the waves crashing on the shoreline.

"I'm glad I met you, too" I mumbled, confused as to where this subject was going.

"Can you promise me something?" she asked, her eyes were now looking at the fire, making her eyes flicker red and orange.

"Depends what it is"

"Will we be friends forever?" her eyes were now on me. Would we be friends forever? I mean, eventually I would go back to my normal life with Rhi and Riley, but would I every really forget Jill?

"Yeah, we'll be best friends forever" my answer was almost instant, making a huge grin appear of Jill's face.

"Good, cause you're a weirdo I have to look out for" she turned her attention to a silhouette coming towards us. A second one joined it a few seconds later.

"Jill, this is my friend Paul" Jacob introduced, taking a seat on the other side of me. I smiled at him as he did the same to me. All was quiet for a few minutes, making me look at my best friend and the wolf-boy in front of me. Paul's eyes were glazed over and looking at Jill like she was the only girl in the world. Jill just looked confused and kept looking around, like that would somehow give her the answer.

"You're so perfect" he whispered, taking a step closer to my best friend. I stood up cautiously, taking in his every movement. I didn't know if he was a threat, or just a creep. All of a sudden, an ear shattering howl ripped through the air. I watched as Paul grinned so wide, shaking violently. He ran into the trees before we heard the sounds of clothes ripping.

"What the fuck?" Jake whispered, standing next to Jill and I. We all looked at each other with curious and freaked out expressions on our faces.


"Well, that was an…interesting night" Jill started in the car. Jake and I looked at her incredulously before looking at each other.

"Interesting doesn't cover it" I laughed. By now it was close to three in the morning – meaning the sun would be coming up in a few hours. Jake knew exactly where he was going, so I didn't bother trying to look at the pitch black road – I would most likely freak everyone out and end up crashing the car.

"The Paul guy was a freak" Jill's voice went up a few octaves when she sand 'freak', making Jake and I smile. I played with the pepper spray in my hands, thinking over how I could have used it on Puppy. I smiled at a few of the ideas that came to mind.

"Where are we?" Jill broke the silence, making me look up. We were right next to the biggest cliff in La Push, which so happens to lead to the ocean. I looked at Jake with a grin on my face.

"This is where you abduct girls, right?"

"Oh, you found out my secret" he put a hand to his forehead and feigned innocence. I snickered and helped him take a few Jim Beam's from the cooler.

"This is the life" Jill sighed, dangling her feet over the edge of the cliff like she didn't have a care in the world. I grinned and took another sip of the cool liquid. It tasted tangy and delicious – my favourite.

"You guys are my best friends, you know" Jake spoke up. Jill and I both looked at him, silently asking him to go on.

"If you didn't know already, I didn't have a lot of friends until you guys came around…I just wanted to say thanks" he turned his head away from us, trying to hide his blush. Jill and I stood up and hugged him from behind.

"This better not be a crush creeping up, Jakey-poo" I sang, rocking him back and forth.

"You know what, I take all of that back!" he whined, flinching away from our touch.

"You can't take it back – we already heard you" we sang together. He groaned before falling to the ground in defeat. I jogged over to his car, turned on the radio full blast and ran back. I held out my hands to Jacob, hoisting him up once his warm palms met mine.

"Dance with me" I purred, twirling him around.

"Aren't I supposed to be the man in this?" he questioned, dipping his head close to the ground. I snorted before pulling him back up. We danced for a few hours, taking turns between the three of us. Eventually, Jill passed out so it was only Jake and I on the long fallen tree near the edge of the cliff. It was a few seconds til the sunset was due to rise. We could see the stirring figures on the beach down below, waiting for the arrival of a new day.

"You deserve so much better than that Cullen guy" Jacob spoke up after a few minutes of silence. You could hear the waves crashing on the ocean floor a few metres down. I turned my head to his black form, trying hard to find the outlines of his expression.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, thinking the whole topic was a bad idea.

"When he comes back – and he will – I don't want you to get hurt again" Well if you count giving birth to a vampire hybrid mutant baby as 'hurt' then I will have to break that promise, Jakey-boy.

"Trust me – I won't be the one getting hurt, Jake" just as I spoke, little flecks of orange and red swirls collided with his skin. I watched as the sun brightened up the new day like a comforting blanket. The cheers and roars of the crowd below would have given me serious hearing problems if it weren't for the fact that I was metres and metres away. It was then that I decided that was where I wanted to be. I couldn't leave Jill and Jake – ever. Just as I was about to close my eyes, a very disturbing thought entered my mind. Did Paul imprint on my best friend?!


There you have it :) I will try my hardest to update ASAP. What did you think of the chapter? Do you think Jill and Paul will work out? O.o REVIEW. COMMENT. REVIEW.
