Hello everyone! And Merry Christmas! And Happy New Year! Yes I know again it has been awhile. I am writing I just need to type it all. I have been busy busy with my cat passing away :( then thanksgiving, then my birthday ( yay) anyone see the Muppets btw? I did on my birthday and I loved it, and want to see it again. Anyways it is also Finals time here at school so things are getting a bit crazy, I had to Choreograph 2 dances, work on Sparing for Tae-Kwon-Do, Tai Chi and study for any written finals. So I had A LOT of work to do but you should know what that means since finals are now OVER… I am FREE! Till January anyways lol. But this is good because I can write a lot and type in all up. For those of you following my other stories too I am working on the next few chapters for Blinded from Real Love, I have been falling behind on that. I have writers block for some reason, so any Ideas of things you would like to see, message them to me that should get my mind working again :). I love getting other peoples inspirations :) Just so you all know in this chapter Ari had a few talents no one else knows about but Krista, the songs and lyrics in this belong to other artists but in this story what I use for her songs we will pretend they are hers :) that goes for all my stories as well. Ok enough of me talking on to the story. I don't own anything in here but anyone I created.
Ok Songs for this are on the play list except the first song Ari sings called Ultraviolet By Joanna Pacitti. You can find it on youtube. As well as the DDR songs if you want to know what they sound like to get the whole idea of it. Those songs are called 'Candy' 'Love Shine' and 'A'.
Chapter 7- Krista
(?POV)
I stand in the shadows watching the freak of a girl Ariana called her friend, to leave already to who knows where. I strain to try and hear how long she is going to be gone for. As soon as she is gone I will move in to go and check around the house. I smell something funny. I sniff the air and I smell hints of magic. 'DAMN IT!' I yell mentally 'she is a damn witch! How did I miss that? I can't get to the house now! Well I will just have to wait and see how long she is gone then see what I can find. Once I can get past the magic, my little hunt will begin.'

"Now Boarding for flight 825 to Port Angeles at gate 21A "
I get up from my seat and get in line with my ticket and duffle bag. I pull my phone out of my pocket and text Aden.
"I am boarding now I will land at 2. I have my duffle with me so no other bags- Krista"
"Ok see you then- Ad"
I turn off my phone and put it away as I hand the lady my ticket. I walk down the tunnel and onto the plane. I find my seat and shove my bag overhead. I grab my iPod and sit down in my seat. Only a few hours on the plane and I get to see Ari again. And meet this guy she is so hung up on. I smile
(ADPOV)
I get a text from Krista telling me she is taking off and when she will land. I text her back and put my phone back in my pocket. I walk out of my room and into the living room hoping that the girls, especially Ari stays gone for a good portion of the day because Krista wanted to surprise her. I hear Ari and Ava moving around in their rooms. Before they all take off I need to have a little talk with them. They think I am stupid but I'm not. I can hear very well if they forgot that. I grab a glass of water and lean against the counter as I hear them making their way to the kitchen.
"Late night last night?" I ask looking at Ari.
Ari turns and looks at me like a kid caught with a hand in the cookie jar. "Uh...yeah I lost track of time…" she says
"Uh huh...you lost track of time till 3 AM?" I ask.
"We were watching a movie and I fell asleep on the couch, Big deal." She explains calmly but her face still a little red. Ava tries to sneak past.
"No so fast Ava. You are the one I'm more concerned about. You didn't get home till 5AM." I say setting the glass down crossing my arms.
She stops dead and looks at me. Ari snickers as she grabs and apple.
"…Lost track of time?" she shrugs her shoulders. Then she looks at Ari. "What Ari?"
"Yeah, Miss 'I follow the rules' lost track of time and got home later then me" she smirks taking a bit of her apple.
"So you were still home late too! And you are usually the one that is in trouble!" she argues.
Ari rolls her eyes and walks towards the door. "Where you going?" I ask her.
She stops and turns looking at me. "I am going to meet Jake at the beach, why, what you going to do ground me?" she asks sarcastically. 'Yeah like me grounding you would work' I think to myself. "Because I have done so much worse then come home late and you know it. For the record, I really did fall asleep during a movie."
"Yeah ok?" Ava crosses her arms and rolls her eyes.
"No I'm not going to ground you, my point was that you think I am stupid and won't hear you or know. I have strong ears you both should know that. I have a lot of work to do today so if you guys could stay out for a while that would be great. I should keep you both here but I know you will just find a way out Ari so just go." I tell them.
"Ok well I have to go." Ari says and she runs out the door before anyone can say anything.
"Now you are never late and I don't believe your story but I don't believe hers more." I sigh. "Just go, next time call me if your late." I say.
"Ok." She nods and walks out the door. I smile to myself and go and sit on the couch turning on the TV, waiting till it's time to go and get Krista.
(APOV)
I walk down to the beach through the paths in the woods. I walk across the soft sand. Debating if I want to run or not. I stop and look out at the water, deciding it would not be the best idea seeing as I am wearing flip flips and short cut off jean shorts today. I stare out at the water, the wind blowing through my long hair. I feel the charms on my bracelet him my wrist from the wind. I lift my wrist and look at the bracelet that Jake gave me yesterday. I smile touching each of the charms. Memories of last night dance through my head, from when he gave this and the necklace to me, to when we were as his house. The passion and love from last night still fresh in my mind. It was beyond anything I tried to imagine. I feel my heart start to pick up a little thinking about it and I decided I should try and think of something else for now. I take a calming breath and think of what I could do till he gets here. I decide to practice some of my Tae-Kwon-do forms and some kick combinations. I walk back towards the tree line and kick off my flips flops and take my phone out of my pocket. I make sure they are out of my way so do I don't land on my phone. I begin stretching a little first then I start with my forms, then going into different kicking combinations. I don't hold back my speed since I am not in class or anything, and I'm alone on the beach. See being what I am gives me speed, power and strength. I am faster and stronger as a wolf, coyote or panther but in human form I am WAY faster than any human should ever be. I let myself go full out, my body jumping, twisting, turning, spinning and kicking. Thinking to myself, 'I wish I could spar with someone full out like with someone that is just as advanced as I am, if not a little more.'
(JPOV)
I eat, shower and leave the house heading down to the beach where I am going to meet Ari. My phone rings on the way and I look at it thinking its Ari and its Bella. I sigh and I ignore it and text her that I'm busy. I start to get near the beach not sure if Ari is there yet or not. As I walk out into the sand I see Ari off down the beach a bit. She looks like she is practicing some martial arts combinations. I stand there and watch her a little. 'Wow she's fast!' I think to myself. I stand there mesmerized by her movements. Her body kicking, spinning, jumping and twisting gracefully but would be almost deadly to anyone who try to attack her. I finally snap out of it and I walk over towards her. I come up behind her, about to get her attention without scaring her when she whips around with a back spin kick, I block it before it would have hit me in the head. She jumps and lets out a squeak of a scream, losing her balance and she falls backwards to the ground. I move forwards and I catch her around her waist before she hits the ground.
"You scared the shit out of me!" she says. I pull her up so she is standing and I laugh a little.
"Well I was trying not to scare you, I was going to try and get your attention but your sudden kick didn't give me time to do anything but block it." I say. I pull her close to me. "'I'm sorry."
She rests her hands on my chest looking up at me. "I GUESS I can forgive you…" she says sarcastically, then smiles.
I lean down and kiss her and I feel something brush dangling against my chest. When we break apart from the kiss, I look down and I see the bracelet I gave her yesterday. I smile and I take one hand and reach up running my fingers over it. "You haven't taken this off yet have you?"
"No, I kind of don't want to take it off. I feel like I need to get it on all the time. Same thing with the necklace." She says. Looking at my hand and the bracelet and then back at me. I smile kissing her again.
"So practicing some Martial arts? I figured when I got here I would see you running." I say.
"Well I was going to but it's a little hard to run in flip flips and jean shorts." She says. "So I just decided to practice a little."
"Well you are very good." I smirk, "Maybe not as good as me, but still very good."
She looks up at me, "Oh really? How can you say that if you have never seen me fully fight, and you have never spared with me?" she asks with a smirk and challenging eyes.
"I am a black belt after all babe, don't forget that."I tell her.
"Hey don't under estimate me, you have seen me take down Paul, several times." she says taking a step back away from me.
"Yes and I am impressed, but you still have yet to see me fight..." I smile.
She steps into a fighting stance, "Well then, let's see what you got." She says with a smirk. And I have to say that is extremely hot.
I step back into a fighting stance as well. "As you wish."
"And don't hold back, trust me, you won't hurt me." she adds. If she thinks that I am going to not hold back a little she is crazy. I'm not going to hurt her. I let her attack first as we start sparing. I dodge everything she throws at me but she catches me with a tornado kick knocking be back. WOW she is powerful! I think. I step a little not holding back as much. We are pretty evenly matched. For being so tiny she can jump, flip and kick pretty high. After a while we end up wrestling the sand. I almost have her pinned and she slips out from under me and takes off running laughing. I smile and I get up and chase after her.
(KPOV)
I land and grab my bag, getting off the plane. I make my way through the crowd to get to the front lobby to look for Aden. I wonder around and I finally find him.
"Well well long time no see!" I say with a smile.
He laughs and gives me a hug, "Yeah I know." He pulls back and takes out his keys.
So how have you been?" he head towards his truck.
"I have been ok. Not the same thought since you all moved away though. By the way, you didn't tell her did you?" I say
"No I didn't not tell her. She is off at the beach with Jake so she has no idea." He tells me as we get to his truck. He takes my bag and puts it in the back and we get in. we drive to La Push where they moved. We talk a little bit along the way about what has been going on. We get to the house and I take my bag inside. As soon as I walk in the door I am tackled to the ground by Ari's dogs. Aden laughs and helps me up. "Well I can see they missed you as much as Ari did and I bet when she see's you, you will be on the ground like that too." I look around as I stand up.
"I see that Ari has designed pretty much everything." I say seeing the living room walls.
"Yes and you will also know which door is hers as well." He says rolling his eyes. I walk down the hall and I easily see her door at the far end of the hall. I open the door seeing her wild room. I go over and set my bag on her bed and I look down and see the rug with the paw prints. I laugh and shake my head "Only Ari would think up this" I say knowing Aden could hear me.
"What is that?" he asks coming down the hall.
"The rug." I say as I look around and I see pictures that she must have recently added. I see a bunch with her and Jake, I know him from the picture she sent me.
"Yeah I walked out seeing her do that." He says in the doorway. I continue looking at the pictures seeing a bunch of pretty hot guys and a few girls mixed in. I see a few of Ari and a few different girls. And another with Ari seriously beating one of the said hot guys in a wrestling match. "If you want to find Ari she is at First Beach. I have to run into town to looking into this new job so I can drop you off. It's not too far from here." Aden says.
"Ok sure." I say following him out of the house. We get back in his truck and head down the road. I look around at everything as we drive by. It is all so pretty here. We get to the parking lot for the beach and he stops.
"It shouldn't be too hard to find them. Just call my phone if you don't see them." He says.
"Ok thanks Aden." I say as I get out. I walk towards the beach. I walk across the soft sand looking around for them. Off in the distance I see two people sparing quickly turning into a wrestling match. I see a flash of pink hair and know that it's Ari. I stay where I am for a while just watching them. I see her slip out from his hold and run off him chasing after her.
(APOV)
I run off away from Jake laughing. I hear him behind me and I feel him close and I dodge him a few times. I hear him laugh and mumble things under his breath. I hide behind a rock and he stops and looks for me. I try so hard not to laugh. He is standing there like he is listening for something. He has his back to me so I try and sneak out from behind the rock and just as I am about to get past him he wipes around and throws his arms around my waist.
"Gotcha!" he says laughing. He starts tickling me pushing me into a fit of giggles. "This is for trying to hide from me." I squirm around and end up tripping as I try to slip away and taking him down with me. He lands pretty much on top of me.
"Haven't we been here before?" I ask him referring to how we landed on the ground. Both of us breathing hard and still laughing. He pushes hair out of my face.
"You are just too cute my little mustang." He says my Jacob smile on his face. He touches his nose to mine giving me Eskimo kisses. Something cute he started doing with me. The guys think it's too mushy but I love it. Hey after all he did say he would do all the little cute and stupid stuff couples do. I smile and I catch him off guard and push him over off me and I climb over him. I grab his hands holding him down acting all serious then I smile I lean in and kiss him. He reaches around and places his hands on my hips then suddenly tickles me and flips us back over so he is on top. He smiles back at me then leans in and kisses me, but all too soon it ends. He sits up on his knees and stands up. I did not want the kiss to end yet so I get up and brush the sand off me. Then I look at him and I slide my arms up around his neck. He looks at me curiously and I smile and pull his head down and kiss him more passionately. It starts to get a little heated. Then I hear someone yell at us and I freeze.
"Hey freak! I think you need a room!" the voice says.
I am use to it buy now with some of the girls around here that seem to have a think for Jake but something about that voice.
"Just ignore it babe." Jake says not even turning around just looking at me.
"Didn't you hear me?" the voice says.
"Wait I know that voice!" I say suddenly and I look around Jake and standing there not more than 100 feet away is Krista! "OH MY GOD!" I jump up out of Jake's arms and run to her. "Krista!" I crash into her wrapping my arms around her hugging her tightly. She laughs as she hits the ground. I hear Jake laughing as well. I must have looks pretty ridicules but oh well. "What are you doing here?" I finally let go of her and sit up looking at her.
"Surprise!" she says sitting up holding her arms out showing that she is the surprise. "I called Aden the a few days ago and told him I wanted to surprise you." She gets up and helps me up too. "It's been too long."
"Yes it has!" I hug her again and I hear Jake come up by us. "And finally Krista." I say backing away looking at Jake and I reach for his hand pulling him to me. "This is Jake." I look at him and smile then back at her.
"Well it's finally good to see something other than a picture and hear a voice over the phone." She says reaching out to shake his hand. He shakes her hand.
"Nice to finally meet you too Krista. She has told me a lot about you." He smiles taking his hand back and wrapping an arm around me.
"Good things I hope, and she has also told me a lot about you too. You are usually the topic of conversation in our text, emails and phone calls." She says looking at me. I feel my face heat up instantly.
"Oh I am, am I?" he says looking down at me with interest.
"Ok well I guess it's time to go introduce you to people." I saw changing the subject. I start to walk towards Sam's taking him with me. I lightly push Krista forward to get her to go. She shakes her head and turns to walk with us. We walk the path to Sam's and she tells me about her flight and how boring it was and cold. I could tell she had some other things she wanted to tell me but she would do that later. We get to pass Jake's house and keep going down the path to Sam's. We reach's the house and I can hear that everyone is pretty much there. We walk up to the steps and Paul, and Leah come outside.
"Back to be beat again Ari?" Paul says cockily.
Leah snorts and smirks. "I think you mean back to beat me again." Leah shoving him aside and walking over to me to give me a hug.
"Hi Leah, and no Paul I didn't come back to beat your ass again. I brought someone for you all to meet." I say as I step away from Jake and pull Krista over. "Leah, Paul this is…"
Just as I am about to introduce them Embry, Ava and Quil come out of the house. "Krista! What are you doing here?" Ava says jumping off the porch to come and hug her. Ava and Krista aren't the best of friends but they like each other.
"Well I was here to surprise Ari and you." She says hugging her back then letting go.
"Well as I was saying, everyone this is Krista. Krista, this is Quil, Embry, Leah, and Paul." I say pointing each of them out.
"I believe you have some things to tell me later." Leah smiles. I just blush knowing what she meant. We both turn and look to see Paul and Krista staring at each other intently. I look back and forth between them wondering what is going on. I see everyone else looking shocked. I snap my fingers in front of Krista.
"Hey, you ok?" I ask.
"Uh… yeah…I'm fine. So who is there anyone else for me to meet?" she asks as she keeps glancing at a shocked Paul.
"Yeah, let's go inside." I say leading her inside. I take her inside and find Emily and Kim putting muffins on the table for Sam, Jared, Seth, Collin and Brady.
"Hey everyone, I want you to meet someone. This is Krista, my best friend from back home." I smile.
"Hi." She says.
"Hello Krista." Emily says with a warm smile. "I'm Emily. This is my fiancé Sam, Jared, his girlfriend Kim, Seth, Collin and Brady." She says introducing everyone for me. I hear the other come back inside.
"Nice to meet you all. Ari has talked about you all a lot. Well not as much as she does about Jake but a lot." She says. I feel my face heat up again as most everyone laughs. I walk over and snatch a muffin to hide my red face. She smirks at me. I think to myself "you will get it later!" We all sit around talking for a little while laughing. We are all sitting around outside the guys throwing a football around. I am sitting on the porch my head in Leah's lap, her absentmindedly playing with my hair. Emily next to us, Ava in a chair, Kim sitting on the steps and Krista, while catching glances at Paul, is sitting, leaning against the railing on the steps opposite Kim. "So…has Ari told any of you about her hidden talents?" she smirks. I tense up and lift my head to look at her. All the guys stop and look too.
"Talents? What talents? I mean I know she has beat Paul's ass but what else is there." Leah says.
"Hmm so she hasn't told you everything." Krista says laughing. The guys wonder over interested now.
"So what talents haven't you told us about?" Embry asks.
"They are not talent's they are just stupid little things Krista!" I say to her.
"Well like what?" Quil asks still interested.
I sigh, "Fine I will tell you a few, I am unbeatable at DDR, I can draw and paint very well, and according to Krista, Ava and Aden I am amazing at cooking. But that is about it." I say looking at Krista.
"You are amazing at cooking." Krista says.
"Yeah." Ava agrees.
"Yeah and you forgot one. You're so good at Tae Kwon Do that you can kick Paul's ass." Quil adds earning him a slap to the back of his head from Paul. Everyone laughs.
"Anyways." I say to change the subject.
About another hour passes and Jake walks over to me. "Hey babe I got to get to work, ok? I'll call you later so you can have the night with Krista." He smiles.
"OK, well Krista are going to head back to my house anyways to catch up more." I say as I get up. I walk away with Jake so I can have a little privacy with him. We go behind a huge tree. He wraps his arms around me. I smile instantly loving the feeling. I slid my arms around his neck. "Don't work too hard."
He laughs, "I won't. Now go have fun with Krista." He leans down and presses his warm, soft lips to mine. Every time my body melts into him when he kisses me, and they are irresistible and addicting. Reluctantly we break the kiss. I hug him, "text me later, ok" I smile looking up into his eyes. I hated being away from him.
"I will." He kisses the tip of my nose then looks over past the tree with me still in his arms. We see Krista eyeing up Paul who is wrestling with Jared. Emily, Kim and Leah have wondered back inside. Embry and Ava have walked off. "Hey Paul! Let's get going." He says. He reluctantly lets go of me. My body missing his warm body on mine. I sneak one more kiss from him as the guys come over. Paul goes to mess up my hair and I duck and trip him. He stumbles a little and Jake laughs. I laugh too and I walk away towards Krista.
"Ready to go back to the house?" I ask.
"Yeah." She says getting up still glancing at Paul. I go inside to tell the girls bye.
"Hey girls, Krista and I are going to head home. Probably be over tomorrow after I get out of class."I say.
"Ok see you tomorrow then, nice to meet you Krista." Emily says.
"It was good meeting you all too." Krista says.
"We will have to plan a bonfire or something soon." Leah says.
"Yeah that would be great." I say. "Well, see you later." We walk out and walk to my house. We get inside and I take the boys out.
"So I take it that you haven't told ANYONE about your secret or pretty much anything much from you past." Krista says as we walk into the kitchen.
"I have told them some things but no, not everything. I told them about how my mom died, but not the real reason why, that my dad left, but didn't say what he did, and that he is still out there somewhere." I say getting to Coke's from the fridge.
"Well what if something happens, don't you think Jake deserves to know everything?" she asks.
I walk into the living room and sit on the couch. "…Yes but I just can't tell him right now. I will find the right time just…I don't know when." I say. She sits down on the couch opposite me.
She smiles. "So he is defiantly hotter than the picture you sent me."
I smile thinking about him, "yeah, I told you, and he is mine." She laughs. "But I saw you checking out Paul." I say grinning at her.
"I was not." She lies.
"Yeah, ok. It looked like you were undressing him with your eyes." I laugh. "and by the way, what was that earlier at Emily's, about ' oh she talks about you all a lot, well not as much as Jake!' and then the stuff you said at the beach, are you trying to embarrass me? No wait don't answer that I know that answer." Krista just laughs.
"I wouldn't be your best friend if I didn't. So anyways tell me more about Jake." She says taking a sip of her drink.
I sit back and take a drink too. "Well I have told you pretty much everything but just…I can't explain it, we just fit together like perfect puzzle pieces. His love for me is like, unreal. He shows me how much he loves me daily. Yesterday, for our 6 months he took me out and he gave me a handmade bracelet he made and a necklace, which was his mother's. Last night was just amazing."
"So he gave you his mother's necklace? Wow he must really love you."
"Yeah he does." I say with a smile, thinking about last night how he really proved his love to me. I don't notice Krista watching me.
"You had sex with him, didn't you?" she says observing me. I sit up almost spitting the coke out of my mouth. She says. "Well I know it for sure now with that reaction." My face turns deep red. "When?"
"…um…Last night." I tell her.
"So that is why you were glowing like that when I first saw you." She says. My face still glowing red I walk to my room and grab my notebook hidden under my bed and grab a pen on my way back out to the living room. I hop onto the couch.
"So why didn't you tell anyone that you write music, play guitar, drums piano and sing?" she asks me?
"…You are the only one besides Ava and Aden that know that. I'm not that great Krista, besides it's just a secret hobby." I say flipping through the pages.
"Oh come on what about the song that my uncle recorded for us back home? It was awesome!" she says.
"Well ok that was awesome." I agree. "How do you remember that still? That was about 2 years ago"
She smiles. "How could I forget that? SO did you finish that song you sent me a piece of a few weeks ago?"
"Yeah I did." I say
"Well lets here it" she says. I look up at her. "Don't even start, go get your guitar and I want to hear it. No ands, if's or Butt's about it." I sigh and I get up going back to my room and grab my guitar case that I buried in my closet with my amp. I pull it out and take it out to the living room. I pull the guitar our and hook up everything. I lay out my book to the lyrics and all my little notes in front of me. And I sit on the couch. I look at her and see she has her phone out.
"You are NOT recording that!" I say picking up my guitar pick.
"Yes, I am, you know I always do and be sides it's my proof to you that you are like amazing!"
"I am only good if YOU are helping me out." I say and I ignore her and I start playing.
"He is a wave and he's breaking
He's a problem to solve
And in that circle he's making
I will always revolve
And on his sight
These eyes depend
Invisible and indivisible
That fire you ignited
Good bad and undecided
Burned when I stand beside it
Your light is ultraviolet
Visions so insane
They travel unraveling through my brain
Cold when I am denied it
Your light is ultraviolet…"
(JPOV)
Paul and I head out to go to work. "Dude did you seriously imprint on Ari's best friend?" I ask
"Yeah, you were there you saw it. Hell never thought that would happen to me, and on someone that doesn't even live here. This is going to suck ass!" he says.
"You haven't even said anything to her either you just kept staring at her." I tell him.
"Yeah well I didn't know what to say." He says
"That is unlike you." I laugh. Then I think. "Hey they built that new Dave and Busters, why not take the girls there tonight? Then you can get to know her a bit more?" I suggest
"Ok that sounds cool, if we finish up we can close early and go." He says. Just then my phone rings and I look at it. I sigh seeing who it is.
"Dude, doesn't she ever leave you alone? You go and see her for an hr or so during the night or on breaks when you're at work can't she like let you LIVE your life?" he says seeing who it is.
"Apparently not!" I say then answer it. "Yes Bella?"
"Well hello to you too Jake! What is up with you? And I thought you were coming over today?" she says.
"No I told you I had plans and work. Bella I see you almost every other say, I do have things I have to take care of here and duties to the tribe. We have been through this."
"Yeah like your imprint is tribe duty and work. I still have yet to actually SEE this so called imprint of yours you know. Don't you think your best friend should meet her?"
"You will meet her. She has a friend in town and she has school a lot so I will have to talk to her. But I have to go I am at work. Bye Bella." I hang up quickly.
"She sounds jealous if you ask me." he says.
"She is not." I answer.
"She is too, because she was the stupid one to choose the sparkling freak over you, and she now has to live with that, and you have an imprint and she takes up most of your time and she hates it." he says.
"Ok so maybe she is, but too bad." I say.
"So does Ari even know about her?" he asks me
"She knows about her, but not much." I admit. We get to the shop and get out and get to work. In the middle of working I get a text from Krista saying
"Hey listen to this and tell me what you think. This girl I knew back home thinks she sucks but I am trying to prove her wrong.-Krista" I play the song attached and listen.
"Wow hey Paul, listen to this." I say starting if over and turning the speaker up louder.
"He is a wave and he's breaking
He's a problem to solve
And in that circle he's making
I will always revolve
And on his sight
These eyes depend
Invisible and indivisible
That fire you ignited
Good bad and undecided
Burned when I stand beside it
Your light is ultraviolet
Visions so insane
They travel unraveling through my brain
Cold when I am denied it
Your light is ultraviolet…"
"Who is that?" he asks
"A friend of Krista's back home she said. She said her friend thinks she sucks and wants to prove her wrong." I say.
"Well tell her she is insane the girl is really good." He says and gets back to work.
I text her back. "Tell your friend that she is amazing, Paul and I think she is crazy to think she sucks.-J"
"Thanks I will tell her.-Krista"
(KPOV)
I get the text back from Jake and I smile. As we are finishing eating something small. We both go and do our make-up. Ari decided to throw on a pair of dark blue faded skinny jeans, a black off the shoulders top, a pink studded belt and black heels. I throw on black skinny jeans, a black top with a heart on it and a black and blue studded belt. I put on my black wedges with it.
"So you really like it?" Ari asks
"YES! It's amazing! You should show everyone and if it will make you feel better I will even play drums with it to make you feel better." I tell her.
"I'm not ready to tell everyone." She says. Her phone goes off and she picks it up and looks at it.
"Well isn't that perfect timing. The girls want to go do open mic night at Dave and Busters tonight." She says.
"Tell them YES!" I tell her getting an idea.
"WHAT? What did I just tell you I'm not ready to do that." She tells me.
"YES YOU ARE! No tell them yes." I tell her.
"But Krista!" she whines
"NOT BUT's" I tell her. She sighs and texts them back.
(APOV)
I cannot believe I'm doing this. Maybe I won't have to sing. Maybe I can get out of it. I text Jake.
"Hey the girls all want to go to Open Mica Night at Dave and Busters. Is it ok if you guys meet us there after work?-Ari"
Krista pulls a CD out of her bag and puts it in the CD player as I get a text back.
"Yeah, that is fine, I love and miss you-J"
I smile and text back.
"I love and miss you too-Ari"
"Krista how am I going to take my guitar? I don't want to carry it around." I tell her.
"Don't worry about that. Come on now since when have we had a problem like that before. Hello you're talking to me here, the one that can make a small purse fit everything in my bedroom in it." she smiles. I laugh
"Oh yeah I forgot that."
I get another text but it's from Leah
"Ok we will be over soon-LeeLee"
"Ok that is fine just come right in-Ari"
The music starts to play in the speakers and I start to recognize it. Then Krista starts singing.
"Krista-
Someday I'll let you in
Treat you right
Drive you outta your mind
Oooh"
I laugh and join in
"Me:
You never met a chick like me
Burn so bright
I'm gonna make you blind
Both:
Always want what you can't have
Is it so bad
When you don't get what you wanted
Make you feel good
As I whip you
Into shape, ya boy
Let's get it started!
Give it up
You can't win
Cause I know where you've been
Such a shame
You don't put up a fight
That's a game that we play
At the end of the night
It's the same old story
But you never get it right
Give it up
Come a little closer
Baby, baby
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Baby, baby.."
(LPOV)
We head over to Ari's house to meet her. We get close and we hear singing from inside.
"Krista:
So stop trying to walk away
No you won't ever leave me behind
Ari:
(Noooo)
You better believe that I'm here to stay
Krista:
(That's right)
Ari:
Cause you're the shade and I'm the sunshine
(Ooooohh)"
"Do you hear that" I ask the girls.
"Yeah is that Ari?" Emily asks.
"I don't know." I say I quietly open the door and go inside and I see Ari and Krista singing. Krista sees use but I motion quickly for her not to say anything. She smiles and Ari goes on singing having no clue we are there.
"Both:
Look at me boy
'Cause I got you
Where I want you
Isn't it so exciting?
Wanna shake you
When I break you
Take a backseat boy
Cause now I'm driving
Give it up
You can't win
Cause I know where you've been
Such a shame
You don't put up a fight
That's a game that we play
At the end of the night
It's the same old story
But you never get it right
Give it up
Ari:
A oooh yeaaah
Krista:
Ah oooho heeey
Ari:
Hey yeah yeah yeaaaah…
Both:
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Baby, baby
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Baby, baby
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Baby
Yeah if you are my baby
And I'll make you crazy tonight
Look at me boy
'Cause I got you
Where I want you
Isn't it so exciting?
Wanna shake you
When I break you
Take a backseat boy
Cause now I'm driving
Give it up
You can't win
Cause I know where you've been
Such a shame
You don't put up a fight
That's a game that we play
At the end of the night
It's the same old story
But you never get it right
Give it up
Ohhhh
YEAH!"
We all clap and Ari jumps turning around.
"Oh my god! How long were you all standing there?" she asks.
"Oh long enough to hear that you are AMAZING! You both have to sing that tonight!" I tell them
"Oh we will after she sings something else first." Krista says.
"Krista! I…" Ari says looking at her.
"Don't listen to her she will be." She says covering her mouth.
"Ari why didn't you tell us you could sing like that?" Emily asks.
Krista lets go of her mouth. "I don't know just didn't think I was that good. "
"Good you're amazing!" Kim says.
"Yeah you are" I say.
She goes over and picks up a guitar behind her and puts it in a case.
"You play guitar too?" I ask
"Yeah I have for a long time." She says. "I can play that, drums and piano."
"Well we better get going if we are going to get there before the guys." I tell her.
(APOV)
"Here Ari I will go put this in your truck." Krista says taking my guitar. Knowing she is going outside to put it in her never ending purse.
"So we all taking my truck?" I ask Leah.
"Yeah if that is ok, can you fit all 5 of us in there?" she says.
"Yeah I can." I go over and feed the boys real fast. I grab my keys and my phone sending a text to Aden to tell him where I'll be at. "Let's get going." I say. We go outside and all get in my truck.
"As little as you are I still don't know how you drive this huge thing" Krista says.
We all laugh. "Yeah I know Jake thought it was Aden's when he first met us."
"So what song was that you were both singing?" Leah asks
"I wrote that like about 2 years ago."
"My uncle has a recording studio and he recorded it for us." Krista says.
"Wow that is so cool." Kim says
"Yeah, so you wrote that Ari?" Emily says.
"Yeah I did." I smile as I drive down the road. "And you guys better tell me where I am going because I have no idea."
"Just keep going I will tell you to go."Leah says. "So I know you have stuff to tell me so spill." She smiles.
"Right now Leah?" I ask.
"Yes, now we all want to know about last night. Yet I think I have a pretty good idea." She smirks.
I sigh, "Ok he took me out to dinner, gave me a bracelet he made by hand for me. Then he gave me a necklace that he said was his mom's. After that we went back to his house, we cuddled and watched a movie but we didn't make it through the whole thing because…we started to get a bit distracted, we ended up going to his room, in his bed and he made love to me." I tell them.
"Aww that's really romantic" Kim says.
"Yes and our little Ari isn't a virgin anymore." Krista adds.
"What? You were a virgin before last night?" Leah asks.
I sigh, "Yes I was."
"That probably means a lot to Jake that he was your first you know."Emily says.
"Yeah I know." I say.
"You know, you were his first too right?" Emily says.
"I was?" I ask not knowing, or at least I don't remember hearing him say that.
"Yeah he hasn't done anything with any other girl but kiss." She says.
I smile thinking about how we were both each other's first last night.
(JPOV)
I get a text from both Leah and Ari
"Open Mic Night at Dave and Busters, meet us there-LeeLee"
"Hey the girls all want to go to Open Mic Night at Dave and Busters. Is it ok if you guys meet us there after work?-Ari"
"Well looks the girls all had the same idea. You get the text from Leah?" I ask Paul.
"Yeah I just did. Well let's finish up here so we can get a ride with the rest of the pack there." he says cleaning up.
We get finished and lock up the shop. We both go home and change then meet at Sam's. We decided to go in Jared's SUV and Sam's truck.
(APOV)
We get there and go inside. My stomach is twisting in knots as we walk inside. I hear music blaring, and noises from 100's of games. We walk in and see a small stage along the wall to the left with a bunch of tables scattered around in front of it. Leah runs over and grabs two close tables. We spread out between the tables so that no one takes them. Krista sneaks out my guitar from her bag and sets it on the floor. I look around and see I'm not the only one to bring their own. Krista leans over and says "hey relax you will be fine." I let out the breath I was holding. Krista walks over and signs our names down on the sheet. Leah and Emily do as well. I ask someone for a glass of water and as I'm sitting back down someone taps me. I turn around and see Kylar from one of my classes.
"Ariana? Hey! What you doing here?" he says giving me a hug.
"Hey! Nothing just out with some friends. Well part of them anyways the other are not here yet. What you doing here?" I say.
"I am here a lot with a few of my friends, we play cover songs in between the open mic singers." He says
"That's cool." I say.
"You going to sing tonight?" he asks.
"I don't want to but I have no choice thanks to my LOVELY friends." I say loudly so they hear me. I hear laughs behind me.
"We love you too Ari." Leah says walking over to me. She puts her hand on my shoulder. "So Ari, who is your friend here?"
"This is Kylar Alexander, he is in my Martial Arts class with me." I say. "Kylar, this is Leah Clearwater, one of my best friends." I say.
"Hey." He smiles.
"Hi." They shake hands and they seem to lock eyes and not look away. They same thing I saw happen to Paul, what is it with everyone here?
"Ok everyone Open Mic night is open." Someone says in to the mic. Leah snaps out of it and looks the stage. Kylar looks away too.
"I will talk to you in a little bit." He says to me and smiles at Leah then walks away.
Leah goes and sits down as do I. "First up we have Storm up here again doing covers songs, then first up is Ariana Soloman."
My eyes widen and I look at Krista and she shrugs and just smiles. I sit there and I get out my guitar. Kylar's band sings 2 songs from Skillet then it's my turn. Krista pushes me towards the stage and she asks Kylar is she can use his bands drums and he says yeah. I get up there and I see the guys are not there yet so I relax a little. I plug in my guitar to the amp and step up to the mic. There are already a lot of people here. I see Leah taping this too. I just take a breath and start playing.
"He is a wave and he's breaking
He's a problem to solve
And in that circle he's making
I will always revolve
And on his sight
These eyes depend
Invisible and indivisible"
(JPOV)
We walk inside Dave and Busters and hear music. Then I hear something that sounds familiar. We walk inside and there is a TON of people here. I see Leah and we make our way over there. Not able to see who is on stage yet.
"Hey isn't this that song Krista sent you of her friends?" Paul asks
"Yeah it is!" we get closer and I look up and see Ariana up there. The singing was Ari!
I look at Krista on stage playing drums and she just smiles.
"That fire you ignited
Good bad and undecided
Burned when I stand beside it
Your light is ultraviolet
Visions so insane
They travel unraveling through my brain
Cold when I am denied it
Your light is ultraviolet
Now is a phase and it's changing
It's rotating us all
Thought we were safe but we're dangling
Now it's too far to survive the fall
And this I know
It will not bend
Invisible indivisible
That fire you ignited
Good bad and undecided
Burned when I stand beside it
Your light is ultraviolet
Visions so insane
They travel unraveling through my brain
Cold when I am denied it
Your light is ultraviolet"
I stand up and clap a huge smile on my face. I can't believe that was her that Krista sent me.
(APOV)
Everyone claps and I smile and I look and see Jake sitting right in front of me. Smiling and a look of surprise in his face.
"Next up is Krista and Ariana" the announcer says. Still hyped up from getting such a reaction to my song I set my guitar aside and Krista hands a CD to the DJ and I go over and take the mic off the mic stand as the music starts and she does the same
"Krista:
Someday I'll let you in
Treat you right
Drive you outta your mind
Oooh"
I laugh and join in
"Me:
You never met a chick like me
Burn so bright
I'm gonna make you blind

Give it up
Come a little closer
Baby, baby
Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Baby, baby.."
Leah gets up still taping us, Emily and Kim stand up dancing around and clapping. The guys follow, leading everyone else to stand up cheering us on. We dance around stage.
"Krista:
So stop trying to walk away
No you won't ever leave me behind
Me:
(Noooo)
You better believe that I'm here to stay
Krista:
(That's right)
Me:
Cause you're the shade and I'm the sunshine
(Ooooohh)"
"Both:

'Cause I got you

Isn't it so exciting?

Ohhhh(we stand back to back)
YEAH!"
The crowd yells and cheers. We bow and walk off stage or the next person to go on. I take my guitar with me. I walk over and set it in the case I am bombarded with questions and comments from everyone. Jake comes over and wraps his arms around me hugging me.
"Baby why didn't you tell me you play and you sing! You an absolutely amazing! I have never seen you in heels either. Makes you a little taller." he says smiles.
I smile, " haha and let's just say a hidden talent that I thought I sucked at."
"Well I wouldn't have known it was you when we walked in, if Krista didn't send us a piece of that song earlier but I had no idea it was you!"
"She WHAT!" I turn and look at her and she is talking to Paul and she looks at me and just smiles innocently. "Girl you better sleep with one eye open tonight." She just laughs. I sit down as the next singer sings. Jake gets me a drink. After the next few people go Emily, Leah and Kim go up and sing "When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls" I see grins on Sam and Jared's faces. I stand up and dance around and tap them just like they did me. Krista dances around with me. Cheering them on too. After that song they do another and Leah jumps off stage and drags me away to sing too. I shake my head no laughing. I hand the camera to Krista just as I'm dragged away. The DJ hands me a mic and I stand next to Leah and Emily. Leah picked the song this time and she picked S & M by Rihanna. We dance around a bit on stage shaking our hips around. Ok I'll admit I was showing off for Jake a little as I danced around the stage.
"Feels so good being bad
There's no way I'm turning back
Now the pain is my pleasure
Cause nothing could measure
Love is great, love is fine
Out the box, out of line
The affliction of the feeling
Leaves me wanting more
Cause I may be bad
But I'm perfectly good at it
Sex in the air
I don't care
I love the smell of it
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But chains and whips
Excite me"
I see the same grin that was on Sam and Jared's faces, on Jake's now too and I know that look. Whenever I do or say something 'HOT' get gets that look. I'm sure the words in the song just help that along too.
(BPOV)
Alice told me I needed to get out of the house and stop worrying about what the hell Jacob is doing. She drags me to this new place called Dave and Busters. We walk in and it is very crowed. There is a stage up and people singing for an open mic night I guess. As we are walking around I hear the song S & M start playing. I stop and I look to see who is singing.
"Hey isn't that one of the wolves Imprints?" Alice says so only I hear.
I look and I see Emily on the stage with Leah and two other girls. One is really short and has wild colors in her hair. And they both look Native American like Emily and Leah. They all dance and walk around the stage shaking their hips around.
"Yeah that is Emily and Leah. I don't know who the other 2 girls are though." I look around spotting most of the wolves here. I see Jake standing Paul and Sam. There are 2 other girls sitting over there too that I don't know. "Jake is here, you have got to be kidding."
"Her hair is…different but I like her outfit, why can't you try and wear something like that for me?" she asks me
"You know how I feel about heels Alice, I don't get how she is even dancing in those. And dancing quite sexually." I say wondering if one of those 4 girls I don't know is Jake's imprint.
"So what if he is here and they are kind of all dancing like that." She says. The song ends and everyone stands up clapping and cheering. I try to look and see which girl walks to Jake but I can't see. "Let's just go do something else Bella. I know you are going to try and go up to him and you are not suppose to even be worrying about him tonight." She says. I see that girl with the colored hair go back on stage and start playing a guitar with a band as she is dragging me out the door. "Besides I really don't want one of them finding us here because I don't want to deal with them right now." I just follow her out the door to go off to another place.
(APOV)
After the song is over I go to walk off stage and Kylar comes over to me.
"Hey Ari, are you any good at playing covers songs? Something came up and our lead guitarist had is going to miss the next two songs." He says
"Yeah, depends on the song but I can do some." I tell him.
"Would you fill in for him please? I will even let you pick the songs off our list that you are good at." He begs.
"Ok hang on." I say I walk off stage and I pick up my guitar.
"Who is that?" Jake asks.
"That is a friend from school. He asked if I can fill in for his friend for the next two songs." I kick my heels off and Jake looks at me. "What they hurt after a while."
"How do you know their songs?" he asks.
"They just do covers songs and he said if I fill in I get to pick the ones I know." I smile and walk away and get up on stage. I look at their song list and I pick two songs. I plug my guitar in. I tune it a little and we start the first song which is Fallen Angels by Black Veil Brides. I rock out on stage and at the guitar solo. Leaving everyone in our group speechless at how good I really am. The 2nd song I picked was to Jake.
"This next song, Ari has asked to have it dedicated to Jake." I smile at him as we start the song Rebel Love Song also by Black Veil Brides. I play my heart out, having a blast! After the song ends. Kylar hugs me and thanks me. I walk off stage and over to Jake and he kisses me then smiles.
"WOW Ari you are more than amazing!" Paul says.
"Yeah, if you thought you weren't good you are WAY wrong." Sam says.
"Well I thought I wasn't that good so I never told anyone." I say shrugging my shoulders. They take a break from the open mic. Krista walks out acting like she is taking my guitar to the truck but I know what she is doing. Once she comes back I stand up. "I say we play some games."
"Yeah sounds good besides I want to see you other talent." Paul says with his arm slung around Krista's shoulders. I smile at her.
"What talent is that?" I ask as we walk around.
"You are unbeatable at DDR, I would love to see that." He says.
"Yeah let's see if you can beat me." Quil says.
"You play DDR Quil?" I ask.
"Yes and I have not been beaten yet!" he brags.
"Ok Bring it on!" I say as we get to the DDR machine. I take off my shoes again and Leah takes them from me. "I pick the songs" I smile I put money in and select 2 player. I put my speed to expert X2. Quil sets his to what he wants. The first songs I pick is Candy. It starts and I grab the back bar and start moving. We end round one with both of us getting and A score. After the first song I pick Love Shine.
"Hmm pretty good but you still won't win." I say.
"Yeah wanna bet?" he says looking at me.
"Why not." I smile having confidence.
"Loser pays $30 and if I win you have to not kiss or touch Jake for a day." He says.
"That's not fair!" Jake says.
"Deal and if I win you have to put HOT pink streaks in your hair and when some asks you why you have to say my favorite color is pink that is why!" I say back
"Deal" he says over confident. The songs starts and we keep going. My score soaring above his. He smiles thinking I am falling behind when I let go of the bar but I don't I just move around on my own without the bars help. After round 2 I had an A score and he had a low A score. It's time for the last song and I pick 'A' and I look at him and he looks a little nervous. I take hold of the bar again and start the song. It starts out slow then we hit a pause and it speeds up real fast. I keep hold of the bar determined to keep my winning streak. Once the songs end we stand there eager to see the final scores. The scored add up from all 3 games and my side starts flashing that I won. "YES!" I yell jumping in the air off the machine I turn and look at Quil. "I believe you owe me $30"
"That score can't be right!" he complains.
"It was Quil face it you lost." Paul says. He takes out his wallet and hands me $30. I turn around and Jake attacks my mouth with a kiss meant for Quil to see. He rolls his eyes at us. We go off and play a bunch more games. Leah wondered off to find Kylar. Jake kept me close his arms around me which I loved. Krista was getting along great with Paul, laughing and playing games with him. I had played skee-ball about 10 times and got a nice amount of tickets, but Jake got more. I walked around to find another game I was better at and I found one that you put tokens in and try to get as many tokens as you can pushed off the edge for tickets. I ended up with more tickets than anyone else.
"How the hell did you get all those? I left you for like 2 minutes and I come back and you have a pile of tickets." Jake says. I just smile and laugh.
(KYPOV)
I was still confused as to why I mate bonded with Leah here unless something is coming back home. I was said I would not find my mate for years to come unless something bad was to be coming in the future. I will have to talk to call my grandfather later.
"So…"Leah says, "you and your band from around here?"
"Yes but not originally. We are from Finley, WA." I tell her. Some my family moved here when I came here to go to college though, but everyone else is still there." I explain. "What about you and your friends?"
"We are from nearby. We live in La Push." She says.
She is from the reservation, I thought to myself. "That's cool."
"You ever been there?" she asks.
"No but I have heard it is beautiful." I tell her. We walk around a little bit more playing a few games when I get a text on my phone.
"Granddad says that something will be coming, not for many months but trouble is on the way if you mate bonded like you said.-Ry"
I stop walking looking at the text, I sigh a little then text back.
"Then that means we need to be ready, alert the pack.-Ky"
I look up at Leah, "You ok?" she asks.
I smile, "yeah sorry my cousin Ryder is having problems with my granddad. But everything is fine. I told him just to give him his meds and help him to bed."
"Ok." She says. We continue walking around and meet up with her friends. I see Ari with her arms around a very big guy, his arm securely around her. I see the other guys around him all look the same too.
"Ok so you met s few of us already when we got here but not everyone else." Leah says.
She points to each one as she names them. "This is Emily's fiancé Sam , By Krista is Paul, Quil, Embry and his girlfriend Ava, Seth, Kim's boyfriend Jared, and this is Jake, with Ari wrapped around him." she smile
"Hi, I'm Kylar, I have class with Ari." I tell them.
"Nice to me you." Sam says.
Looking at them makes me wonder if they might be a part of the local pack around here. I guess I will just have to wait and see.
Well there is Chapter 7. And I know it is really long. And I am already typing Chapter 8. Because of Christmas I decided to give you a few little spoilers too. I added some pictures for this too in the photo album.
