Sooooo… I hope you thought last chapter was alright. It was basically just to show you how close Sienna and Jacob are, because their friendship is EXTREAMLY important for this story, it's sort of what makes the story. But besides that…hope you liked it, and hope you enjoy this one too :)
LOVE YOU ALL!

"He died," I gaped wide-eyed at my Dad. He had just arrived at Jacob's house and had explained his earliness. Apparently, there had been another animal attack that had occurred down at the pier just out of town. The guy that was killed was Waylon Forge; a man I had grown up with and had known my Dad for about 30 years.
My Dad sadly bowed his head and looked to his feet.
"Well, that's very unfortunate…," Billy commented next to me.
"I can't believe it," I spoke disbelieving, still digesting what we had been told. Jacob appeared beside me and draped his arm around my shoulders.
"I'm going to have to go back to the station, but I didn't want to leave you here," Dad said, directing his explanation at me.
"You can come and stay with me at the station; otherwise I can drop you off at home if you like?" I shook my head, disagreeing.
"No… no ill stay with you," He nodded and started talking to Billy about the plans for the funeral. I drifted out of their conversation and fell into my own thoughts.
"It's so sad," I spoke softly to Jake as I turned to face him.
"I know…hopefully they can just catch that thing before anyone else gets hurt,"
"What do you think it is?" I questioned, thinking myself of the possible creatures. He shrugged and ran a hand through his hair.
"I don't have a clue, I just wish it would go away," he replied.
"Sienna, let's go, hun," My Dad called as he walked off to the cruiser.
"Coming!" I turned my head and called back.
"I'll text you or something," I told Jake.
"Sounds good…," he smiled slightly.
"And stay out of the woods…I don't want you to go missing too," He chuckled and tugged my arm.
"Come here," he pulled me into his chest. I held him close and wrapped my arms tightly around him.
"Bye Jacob," I spoke softly as I walked out of his arms. I gave a quick hug and goodbye to Billy and ran over to the cruiser.
Dad beeped the horn as we drove away from the Blacks house and onto the main road.
"Might want to tell Bells what's happened," he suggested.
"Yeah, I'll call her in a little bit," He nodded once and kept his eyes on the road.
I knew he was upset about Waylon; any sane person would be sad if their good friend was just killed. I reached over and grabbed his free hand, squeezing it softly.
"I'm sorry Dad…it's a horrible thing to happen," He tightened his grip but kept his eyes on the road.
"Don't you worry…were going to catch this thing…whatever it is," he mumbled the last bit. I let go of his hand and sat properly in my seat. For the rest of the car ride, there was a confortable silence between Dad and me; except for the low radio playing in the background and the occasional police voice over. We arrived at the Police station and both hopped out of the car.
Stepping into the station, it seemed like every officer was on duty. I was greeted my Norma; the secretary at the front desk. She led me into the unoccupied coffee room and left me to entertain myself. I took the opportunity to call Bella and tell her what had happened.
It was already eight-thirty, so I thought she would be on her way back by now. I took my cell phone out of my pocket and dialled in her number. It rang and rang but she didn't pick up; only went to her voicemail towards the end of the call. I sighed and tried again but got the same result.
Giving up, I put my cell back in my pocket and went and sat down on one of the couches that were in the room. Not knowing what to do, I switched on the TV and flicked through the numerous channels. I ended up finding something moderately interesting and decided to watch it.
I ended up watching the entire episode which was about 20 minutes and was about to call Bella again when someone else decided to join me in the room…
"Ahh, Sienna…how are you tonight?" Dr Cullen asked as he walked into the room. I perked up and sat straight on the couch.
"Oh…um, I'm good thanks," I replied nervously.
"Unfortunate event that has occurred," I nodded, agreeing with what he had said.
"Very unfortunate…he was a good man," He grinned slightly and walked to the other side of the room and opened a briefcase.
"You know my daughter Alice?" It took me a moment to respond but I found my voice and spoke.
"Ahh, yes…were in music class together," I told him as he searched through sheets of paper.
"She speaks very highly of you…," he turned and smiled at me. I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Me…," I questioned, pointing at myself. He nodded and turned back to his papers.
"She says you're very friendly and you're an extremely talented singer," I widened my eyes.
"B-but…No one's heard me sing, how could she know that?" I spluttered embarrassed. He closed his briefcase and turned to face me.
"I think that's something you should take up with Alice," he smiled. I stared at him with flushed cheeks as he stared back with his friendly smile.
"Well…," he looked towards the door.
"I shall be going…nice to see you Sienna," he started walking out.
"N-nice to see you too…" I called out as he left the room.
Once he had gone, I started to think about what he'd mentioned; about Alice commenting on my singing. The reason I was so embarrassed about him mentioning singing was because I had never let anyone hear me sing; not even Jacob! It was something I kept to myself…something I didn't want people to hear.
I just did it for fun; I wasn't some sort of professional. But it wasn't something I did very often, I only sung when I was completely alone…actually that wasn't completely true, I had sung 'quietly' to myself in the last few music lessons we had with my guitar. But I was nowhere near Alice Cullen…not close enough for her to hear.
I noticed a piece of paper left where Dr Cullen was just a moment ago. I got up and grabbed it, quickly running outside in the hope to catch him before he left.
"Dr Cullen!" I called as I walked out of the front door. I saw him standing just near his car with Bella…and Edward.
"Bella! Oh my god, I've been trying to call you for ages," I exclaimed as I walked down the stairs. She looked at me and smiled slightly.
"J-just got caught up with a few things," she explained nervously. I shot a glance at Edward.
"Right…well, there's been another animal attack," I noticed Edward and Dr Cullen shoot a knowing look at each other.
"It was Waylon Forge…that guy we saw at diner that time," it triggered in her memory and she gaped.
"He was killed…where?" she asked.
"Just at the pier outside of Forks," I replied.
"Then it's getting closer to town, we-," Dr Cullen cut her off.
"Bella…you should go inside with your sister. Waylon was close to your father," She nodded and started walking towards me, then turned around to Edward.
"I-I'll see you soon," she farewelled him. He nodded and watched her as she walked inside. I noticed the paper in my hand and remembered what I'd come out here for.
"Oh, Dr Cullen, you forgot this inside," I handed the paper out to him. He smiled and took it from my hands.
"Thank you Sienna…take care," he said politely.
"See you soon Sienna," Edward smoothly spoke. I nodded at him and turned to walk back inside, noticing the Ambulance taking a corpse out of the station and loading it in the truck. A shiver thrilled down my spine at the site and I quickly went back into the station. I went over to my Dad's office where Bella and he were talking.
"Hey," I smiled as I walked in.
"Hey, she better get one too!" Bella said. I looked at her confused.
"What…" I questioned. Dad opened his drawer and chucked something at me. I 'just' caught it and turned around to read the label 'pepper spray'. I groaned aloud and threw my head back. "Dad," I whined.
"Na ah, if I have to carry one around so do you," she smirked.
"Fine…," I grumbled. Dad chuckled and got out of his seat grabbing his jacket.
"Come on you two, you have school tomorrow,"
"Yay…fun," I fake smiled.
"Looking forward to it," Bella added. I smirked and looked at her.
"I'm sure you are…" Her cheeks instantly turned red and she looked away from me. Dad didn't even notice and walked out in front of us.
"It's not what you think," she said in a hushed tone as we followed Dad.
"I'll see you tomorrow…please Bells, spare me the explanation," I stopped following Dad.
"I'm serious…he's just a friend," I silently laughed and raised my eyebrows at her. She huffed agitated.
"I'm not talking about this anymore," she said as she walked away from me. I shook my head, and laughed at her behaviour. I followed her out to the car where Dad was waiting and we drove back to our house.
.
.
"And he was there!" Tess screamed, as she closed her locker. I closed mine and placed my hands on her shoulders.
"Remember what we talked about, Tess…inside voice" I laughed. She giggled as we turned around and walked down the hallway.
"So, was he who she was with for the night?" she asked. I shrugged my shoulders not really knowing the answer.
"Well she didn't have her car, and he was with her when she came to the station, so she would have had to been with him before," I explained.
"Then maybe she was with him…like she is leaving to be with him now," I turned my head and looked at her with a confused expression. She smiled and shifted me around so I was looking outside the window.
"There,' she pointed.
"Can you see them?" I squinted and noticed Bella walking up the hill near the woods, with Edward following her of course.
"What the hell is she doing?" The bell rang for our next period at that moment and Tess started to walk off.
"Ask her after school…then tell me," she smiled and went around the corner. I watched Bella and Edward as they disappeared into the thick forest. Not knowing what to do, I headed off to my next class; which was music.
Entering the auditorium, I took my usual seat in the back and plugged my earphones in my ears. I was about to take a book out of my bag when I noticed someone come and sit down next to me. I looked up and smiled at Alice.
"Hi," I said taking the earphones out. She beamed back and replied with a cheerful hello.
"I hope you don't mind me sitting up here, do you?"
"No, no…i-its fine," I stuttered miserably. She grinned and started searching in her bag for something.
I bit my lip, hesitant to ask her a question that was pondering in my mind. "Hey Alice…" She turned and looked at me with her topaz eyes.
"Yeah," she smiled.
"Would you know where Bella and your brother are heading off to?" Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion; but her face still held its beauty.
"Sorry…" she said.
"I just saw them before class, walking into the woods together...and I was curious to see if you had any clue why," Her expression was a little worried at first, and her eyes sort of went blank for a moment. Suddenly, she perked up and shot me a bright smile.
"I'm not actually sure, but there's probably some explanation," she assured me. Again, there was that feeling as if I could trust everything she had just told me. Although, it was very unusual for people to just wander off into the woods…especially considering it was Bella in this situation.
"Y-yeah, probably," I agreed with her. She continued conversation with me through-out the class. I was beginning to really enjoy Alice's company; she was someone I was very compatible with. I considered her a friend, and I could definitely see us becoming closer.
The end of the day came sooner than I thought. I was walking out of the school doors, hoping Bella was back otherwise I'd be walking home. Fortunately, she was standing by the truck waiting… with a big, blissful smile over her face.
"Hey," she said cheerfully. I frowned and looked at her cautiously.
"Hi…" She turned around and almost skipped to her door. I followed her into the truck, still watching her with wary eyes.
"How was your day?" she asked.
"Yeah, it was good…you?"
"Oh…yes, good," she chirped. I was really freaked out by her sudden happy behaviour, she was never this happy.
"Okay…who are you and what have you done with Bella," I turned in my seat to face her.
"What…can't I ask my baby sister if she had a good day," she pinched my cheeks.
"What the hell did he do to you?" I flinched away and looked at her with a worried face.
"Who are you talking about?"
"Umm Edward…I saw you walking into the woods with him. Which leads to my next question…why were you in the woods with him?" I questioned her.
"Well…uh-," she started.
"Yes…," I pressed on.
"He-, well you know," I rolled my eyes.
"He wanted to show me something," she finally said. I raised my eyebrows.
"He wanted to show you something…," I repeated.
"Yes, he said he had something to show me and he did,"
"And this something was…," I motioned my hand for her to continue speaking.
"It's a secret," she smiled and turned to start the engine. "Huh!" I exclaimed.
"I said…it's a secret,"
"Bella…you cannot just walk into the woods with Edward Cullen, and come back saying 'I can't tell you because it's a secret," I told her.
"Yes I can," she said simply. I stared at her wide-eyed and speechless.
"Are you like…secretly hooking up in the forests or something?" I soon asked curiously.
"What…No!" she said aghast.
"He-…he just wanted to talk, that's all,"
"And he couldn't have done that maybe at lunch…Oh wait no…we have to go into the woods, with the birds and the deer's to talk nowadays," I sarcastically said.
"Sienna, it's not like that…just-, "she groaned frustrated.
"There are things you don't understand…there's more to the story than you think," she told me.
"I'm not sure I want to understand…" I said thinking of the reasons behind the situation.
This was so unlike Bella. She didn't do things like this...she was changing, and I didn't understand why. And I was starting to have my second thoughts about Edward. Why in the world would you go out inot thw woods to talk? It didnt make any sense, and I was frustrated because nothing was matching up.
"I just don't get it…a few weeks ago you were ready to kill him. Now your skipping classes to go hang out in the woods together…it makes no sense," I questioned her behaviour.
"He's changed…we just got off to a rocky start," she clarified.
I was confused for many reasons, but the main one was why Bella was so interested in him. She wasn't the type to just go hang out in the woods for nothing; there was a reason behind all this. And I think I knew why…
"You like him don't you?" I suddenly realised.
"Well…yeah, he's nice," she altered my question.
"No…you like, like him," She kept silent and focused her eyes on the road.
"Oh my god, you do!" I laughed.
"I was thinking it was a possibility but I never thought you actually would," She still kept her eyes on the road but her cheeks started turning from white to crimson. I started giggling hysterically at her new crush.
"Of all the people in the school Bella…Edward Cullen," I cackled.
"I never actually said I did, you know," she grumbled. I calmed down a little and spoke.
"You didn't have to, I could just tell by your face," I told her.
"Oh, this is too funny," I shook my head and contained myself.
"Can I tell Dad…?" I asked her excitedly.
"Are you crazy…no!" she yelled.
"Why not…I'm sure he'll find it as funny as I did. Actually, maybe I shouldn't…he might go do some background check on him or something,"
"Exactly…besides, nothing is really going on between us," I scoffed and leaned back into the seat.
"I highly doubt that…I told you, Edward doesn't waste his time on just anyone Bella. There's a reason why he's so…interested in you," I said. There was also a reason they went into the bushes together...but that was still unexplained.
"I know that…and I know why too," she said simply.
"Well then since I don't know, I'm going to go on a mission and find out," I told her my plan. She smiled slightly as she drove.
"I don't think you want to do that, Si. Like I told you before…there are things you don't understand," I frowned in confusion at her sudden seriousness.
"Care to explain," She turned her head for a moment and looked at me.
"Trust me on this one…you don't want to know,"
.
The weekend had past me by quickly. On Saturday, I had spent the entire day with Jacob working on the Rabbit; it now had all its parts scattered across the garage floor. Then on the Sunday, Dad and I attended Waylon Forge's funeral. It was a sad and tearful event, but it was good to get some closure.
Waking up on the Monday morning, it was cold and I was exhausted as usual. I slipped out of bed and slowly made my way downstairs. Dad had left early this morning to go searching for this animal that was attacking our town. Rubbing my tired eyes, I walked straight into the kitchen and to the cupboard. I grabbed the coffee and sugar, and turned around to get a mug, but I found something much more interesting…
"Hello Sienna," Edward spoke smoothly.
"Ahhh!" I shrieked, jumping ten feet off the ground; he even jerked a little.
"What are you doing in my house!" I asked loudly.
"Your sister invited me in…she didn't tell you?" he asked confused.
"No, she didn't mention you…" I spoke.
"Well I apologize if I alarmed you, it wasn't my intention,"
"That's alright," I said looking at him with cagy eyes.
"Could just give me a minute," I excused myself.
"Of course," he replied as he watched me walk out of the kitchen.
"ISABELLA MARIE SWAN!" I yelled, stomping up the stairs. I saw her run out from the bathroom and made my way over to her.
"What…what's wrong?" she replied frantic.
"Would you mind explaining to me why-!" I walked forward in case Edward could hear me.
"Why he is in our house," I spoke in a hushed tone.
"He offered to take us to school, and I said yes," she replied.
"If Dad finds out about this your so-," She cut me off.
"But Dad won't find out about this," she bowed her head in a suggestive manner. I sighed and crossed my arms.
"I could of walked down there in my bra and panties and he would have seen…what would have happened then?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Well I would have politely turned away, of course," A velvety voice spoke from behind me. I turned around as Edward stood in front of me with a slight grin on his pale face.
"Well…t-that would have been nice of you…" I turned around and looked at Bella who was smirking.
"Just tell me next time your friends comes over," I advised her. She nodded cheekily, and faced Edward. I rolled my eyes and walked into the bathroom to get ready.
I quickly brushed my teeth and made my way to my room. I slipped into a pair of black skinny jeans and threw on a plain-white tee. I put on some red ballet flats and quickly brushed through my long hair; I'd noticed it had grown a lot in the past month, something it usually didn't do. I applied a thin coat of mascara and grabbed my bag, heading off downstairs.
"Ready to go?" Bella asked as we all stood in the kitchen together. I nodded in agreement and we headed out the front door. Edward's car was very fancy; a silver Volvo S60R. Jacob had actually been raving about how fast this particular car was a few weeks ago. But I was pretty sure he'd have no interest in it after he found out who drove one.
We all hopped in the car and drove to school. As we pulled into the car park, I could see a few people staring in Edward's car and pointing to it. I sunk low in my chair to avoid been seen, but I guess they would all notice once we got out.
Edward parked the car, and smoothly exited outside. I watched as Bella emerged out of the passenger seat, and that's when every pair of eyes was on her. I slowly got out as well, and observed as people stared and pointed at the two walking up to the school doors.
I glanced over at the rest of the Cullen's who all had disapproving looks upon their faces. I wondered if they were against Bella and Edward's relationship…And yes, it was a relationship, I don't care how many times Bella said it wasn't.
People then started turning their attention towards me; probably wondering how we both scored a ride with a Cullen. From the herding of the crowd, I heard the faint sound of my voice being called. I squinted and looked around the numerous amounts of people, until I saw a small red-haired girl, frantically running up to me.
"SIIIIIEEEEENNNNNAAAAA!" She screamed as she ran.
I waved shyly with a small smile on my face. She reached me out of breath and looking at me like I was crazy.
"Hi…Tess," I said with a smile.
"What...who-," she pointed towards Edward's car.
"H-him…and her… a-and YOU!" she stuttered.
"He-…I mean what the HECK Sienna!" she yelled.
"Tess…breathe," I said calmly, placing my hands on her shoulders. She took a few deep breaths and retained her normal breathing.
"Okay…now tell me!" I sighed and started walking into the school.
"Come on, I'll explain as we go," I said and we walked off together, discussing the recent events of the morning.
Sooooo…
Just to sum up this chapter…It's just during and After Waylon Forge's has been killed. And that's really depressing for Sienna since she had known him for a long time. Then during that time is when Bella was in Port Angeles, so the day after she finds out about Edward. Sienna knows nothing though, and that's why Bella obviously can't tell her.
And Edward is inside their house on the Monday morning because that is the day that he picks up Bella and she is like looking outside her window and thinking to herself she was in love...and yeah…hope that cleared things up.
WERE NOT THAT FAR FROM THE END OF THIS SEGEMNT GUYS! I'm so freaking excited for New Moon…like that's going to be the good part…trust me.
Love you all…AND REVIEW! PLEASE
