Chapter 7: The Uley Girl
Jacob's POV
I can't believe Embry left us! He always called Sam and his disciples "Hall monitors on steroids" and now he's one of them.
"Hey Jake do you see that?" Quil asked. I looked to where he was referring. At first I saw nothing, just the same hole that's been here for as long as I remember. Then out of no where I saw a rock shoot out of it. What the hell?
"Quil go to the truck and get the rope out of the back." I tell him walking towards the hole. I peer down to see the kid that had been with Embry earlier. At first she looked shocked but quickly recovered and put on a emotionless face.
"Are you okay?" I asked. She looked at me with a "you've got to be kidding me" face.
"I'm in a hole." She stated. I chuckled.
"Okay dumb question." Just then Quil showed up with a rope. I grabbed it and threw one end down. "Grab on." She just stared at it then looked up at me and raised her eyebrow.
"Are you serious?" She asked. I rolled my eyes.
"Relax it's not like I'm going to drop you." She looked at me skeptically and I sighed. "Look I promise you cane trust me. I'm not gonna let you get hurt." She looked at me for awhile before sighing and grabbing on to the rope. I turned to Quil.
"Help me pull her up." I told him. He nodded and put on the rope with me. After 3 minutes we had her up a Quil grabbed her and pull her on the beach. Once she was standing she looked at the two of us, with her emotionless face still in place and thanked us. Quil smiled and stuck out his hand.
"I'm Quil Ateara and this is my friend Jacob Black." He introduced. The girl grabbed his hand and shook it.
"Crystal Duchannes Uley." She said. Quil's eyes widen as I'm sure mine did.
"Uley?" I asked. "As in Sam Uley?" Crystal nodded.
"Him and Emily just adopted me last week."
"Ah your adopted! No wonder why your so pale." Quil teased. Crystal crossed her arms over her chest.
"Hey I'm not pale! I'm just white!" She exclaimed. Quil and I chuckled.
"How old are you Crystal?" I asked.
"I'm 12 and please don't call me Crystal." She cringed. I looked at her confused.
"Why?" Quil asked.
"It sounds so... girlie and peppy." She said. I chuckled. All of a sudden Quil whipped his head towards the forest.
"Did you guys hear something?" He asked. I thought a detective a flash of panic in her eyes but I'm probably just imagining things. Why would she be panicked.
"No you must be imagining things Quil." She answered quickly. She then looked at her Ipod. "Crap I'm late. Emily's probably freaking out." And with that she took off down the beach. Quil turned towards me.
"Did you notice anything weird about her?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"I don't know something just seemed...off about her." He said. I shrugged.
"She seemed like a normal 12 year old girl to me." I said.
"I wonder why they adopted her." Quil thought out loud. I frowned. Sam Uley is the last person I want to think about right now. I hate the way he looks at me. Like he's waiting for something.
"Who cares? Uley's a freak. He probably got her to test his drugs out on her." I said shrugging. For some reason though the that thought angered me. I started to shake a little but just shook it off.
"Hey what time is it?" I asked Quil. He checked his phone.
"5 o'clock." He answered.
"Shit! I have to go. I'm going to the movies with Bella." I told him. He smirked.
"Oooo has Jake finally scored a date with his dream girl?" He mocked. I glared at him.
"We're just going as friends Quil. Nothing more." I stated.
"Yeah but you wish it was more." He announced. I sighed. That was entirely too true.
