"So tell us, Sunny, what do you think of Jacob?"
Sunny blinked and stared stupidly at Emily, completely caught off guard by the random question.
"Eh, wha'?" The redhead questioned confusedly in her thick Irish brogue.
Emily smiled serenely as she stirred the chili she was making for the bonfire tonight, "What do you think of Jacob?"
"Yeah," Kim piped in from where she was cutting vegetables at the kitchen table, "Do you like him?"
Sunny quirked a brow and looked between the two women in confusion.
"I guess." The Irish girl finally responded with a shrug, "I mean, I don' dislike 'im, if tha's wha' ye mean."
"Okay, but tell us what you think about him." Emily insisted, putting special emphasis on the word 'think'.
Sunny pursed her lips and scrunched up her nose as she thought. She scratched her head and shrugged again.
"I don' know. He's a good lad, a little weird an' angsty but okay t'hang out wit', I guess."
Emily and Kim looked at her with identical expressions of disbelief and Sunny fidgeted with the hamburger meat she was molding into patties.
"That's it?" Kim asked incredulously, her dark brown eyes slightly wide as she looked at the much taller girl standing at the counter in front of her.
"Er, aye?" Sunny answered, though it came out more like a question than the statement she meant it to be.
"No, he's a sexy beast? Or God's gift to women?" Emily inquired, sounding just as stunned as Kim.
"Paul is God's gift t'women." Sunny stated instantly then she smacked her forehead against the cabinet in front of her, "I can' believe I jus' said tha'. I need t'stop hangin' out wit' tha' narcissist."
"What, that's what you really think about Jacob?" Kim asked as she and Emily shared a meaningfully look that was completely missed by Sunny, "That's he's a weird and angsty, but overall good guy?"
"Why do I get th' feelin' tha' I somehow managed t'answer tha' question wrong th' firs' time 'twas asked?" Sunny asked as she looked between the two incredulous women with suspicion.
Emily waved the hand that wasn't stirring the hand flippantly, "It's not that Sunny. It's just with the way you two act, well, we thought you might have liked him, is all."
"Like, like-like him." Kim added, sounding like a grade schooler when she said that.
Now it was Sunny's turn to look at them incredulously, "Where th' hell did ye get tha' idea? I barely know th' man!"
Emily lifted the spoon from the large pot and placed it on the stove then she turned to Sunny and held her hands up in a placating gesture.
"We know that, hun," Emily began soothingly, "But you can't deny there's chemistry between you two."
"I bloody well can deny it!" Sunny stated matter-of-factly, "Paul an' I have more chemistry than Black an' me. 'Sides, 'm pretty sure th' only reason he's bein' friendly now is 'cause Billy asked 'im too."
The other two women shared another look that was once again missed by the redhead, since she had returned her attention to the hamburger meat.
"I'm sure that's not the reason, Sunny." Kim stated reassuringly but Sunny heard the sympathy in the petite girl's voice and it caused the redhead to quirk a brow.
"Kim's right." Emily agreed lightly as she went back to stirring the chili, "Jacob's just a little confused right now."
"Er, alrigh'." Sunny replied as she looked at the two with a quirked brow, "Doesn' really matter t'me, but alrigh'."
Emily smiled serenely at her again, "So does that mean you don't think the two of you will have a relationship?"
"Wha'?!" Sunny sputtered indignantly while Kim giggled madly and Emily continued to smile serenely, mischief dancing in her brown eyes.
Sunny went back to making the hamburger patties, "Didn' I already mention tha' we barely know each other? An' he's in love with what's-'er-face for Christ's sake! Why th' hell would I want a relationship wit' a guy tha's pinin' after some other lass? No, thank ye. I'd rather date Paul."
"Who'd rather date Paul?" Sam questioned as he walked into the kitchen followed by Paul, Jared, Jacob, and Seth.
"Sunny." Emily and Kim chorused, giggling with each other at the evil look Sunny sent their way.
"Evil, vile wenches, th' both of ye!" Sunny muttered darkly under her breath as she mashed the hamburger meat into a patty violently.
"Sorry, princess, but I'm not much of a one-woman kind of guy." Paul said with a smirk as he sat down at the table then he leered at the redhead, "But, I can always make an exception for one night."
"I take it back." The Irish girl scoffed good-naturedly then she looked at Kim and Emily as she washed her hands then she took the plate of hamburger patties to the table, "I'd rather date a dead horse."
Paul barked a laugh and pulled Sunny into his lap after she had put the plate down, his thick arms wrapping around her waist. The redhead let out an indignant squawk and turned slightly to glare at the young man.
"Aw, I'm hurt, princess. You really wouldn't date someone as amazing and sexy as me?"
Sunny snorted and patted his head condescendingly, "Sorry, Narcissus, but 'm too badass fer ye."
Jared laughed at the confused expression on Paul's face as he wrapped his arms around Kim's shoulders then he pressed a quick kiss to her temple.
"Try not to think too hard, man." Jared quipped with snicker, "Your head might explode."
Sunny rolled her eyes heavenward and tried to stand but Paul tightened his grip around her waist, smirking widely at her when she turned to glare at him again.
"Paul," She whined childishly with a pout, "Lemme go, ye big oaf!"
"Let her go, Paul." Sam commanded from his spot beside Emily next to the stove after he caught sight of the murderous look on Jacob's face.
"Fine." Paul sighed then he smirked mischievously and he pressed a quick kiss to Sunny's cheek, a kiss that was dangerously close to her mouth.
Sunny swore she heard Jacob growl, but that could have been her imagination, and she squealed in mock-disgust and lurched out of Paul's loose grasp, playfully wiping her face with the back of her hand. She pointed an accusing finger at his face.
"Tha' was disgustin' an' ye 're so whipped!" She stated with a laugh, completely with hand motions and whipping sounds.
"I didn't think you were the kinky type, Sunny." Seth piped up from where he was slouched against the wall next to a rather thunderous looking Jacob.
The Irish girl spun around to face the tall boy and she chuckled darkly, "Ye should come over sometime, kid. I'll show ye my basement."
"Uh…" Seth stuttered and he actually took a step away from the maniacally grinning redhead, "Yeah, I'm good, thanks."
Jared and Paul guffawed loudly at the kid's expense while Sunny grinned cheekily at him as she hopped up onto the counter by the sink, kicking her feet slightly.
"So when's this bonfire s'possed t'start, Boss Man?" Sunny asked Sam, who was leaning against the counter by the stove with his muscular arms crossed over his perpetually bare chest.
The large man shrugged one shoulder, "We'll head to the beach as soon as Emily says the food's ready to go."
"Which it is." Emily stated as she put a lid on the large pot of chili then she wiped her hands on her jean covered thighs, "Everything's already packed, so all you boys need to do is take it to the car."
"Awesome!" Seth cheered and he started gathering the multiple containers of food in his arms.
"Puppies." Jared muttered to Paul and the two snickered as they gathered the rest of the food containers.
Sam pressed a chaste kiss to Emily's unscarred cheek as he grabbed the large pot and headed out of the house to put it in his old pickup truck. Jacob followed after him after grabbing whatever was left on the table, leaving the three women alone. Sunny hopped off the counter and sauntered towards the front door with Emily and Kim by her side.
"Somethin' tells me tonight is goin' t'be interstin'." Sunny commented randomly as she held the door open for the two shorter women.
"You have no idea, sweetheart." Emily replied with a serene, and slightly secretive, smile that caused Kim to giggle quietly behind her hand.
Sunny gave them both weird looks, her pale brow raised.
Jacob glared darkly at Paul from across the bonfire. The volatile young man had once again pulled Sunny into his lap for the third time since the group had gotten to the beach and had finished setting everything up.
"You shouldn't get so worked up." Embry said as he and Quil sat down on either side of Jacob, "He's just trying to get a rise out of you."
"Besides, you two are just friends, remember?" Quil added, putting special emphasis on the word 'friends' as he spoke.
"I know that." Jacob snarled and clenched his fists when Sunny laughed and swatted at Paul's wandering hands, "I don't want to give a damn that he keeps touching her, but I can't help it."
Embry clapped his best friend on the shoulder, "That's the imprint talking, my friend."
"No shit." Jacob grunted and he glared at the ground so he didn't have to watch Paul shamelessly flirt with his Sunny.
Jacob shook his head and scowled darkly when he realized what he had just unintentionally thought. Sunny wasn't his, he didn't even want her. He wanted Bella…At least that's what he kept telling himself.
"Looks like Billy's gonna start." Quil stated unnecessarily as Sam wheeled Billy towards the spot he usually took when he told the legends.
Jacob lifted his head and his gaze immediately fastened on Sunny. She was no longer sitting in Paul's lap and she was instead sitting in between Paul and Seth, her gaze focused intently on Billy.
Of course she'd be interested in the legends.' He thought with wary amusement, 'She's a storyteller herself.'
He watched as Sunny straightened almost imperceptibly when Billy cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention. Silently, the rest of the group took a seat on the logs around the bonfire and all conversation ceased.
"The Quileutes have always been a small people from the beginning. And we are a small people still, but we have never disappeared." He began, his black eyes roaming around the large group before settling on Sunny's excited face, "We have magic in our blood. It wasn't always the power to shape-shift, but before that we were spirit warriors."
"The tribe settled in this harbor and became ship builders and fishermen, very skilled at their craft. But our tribe was small and the harbor was rich with fish. Of course, others coveted our land and we were too small to hold it. A larger tribe moved against us and we took our ships to escape." He continued, folding his hands in his lap as he spoke, "Kaheleha was not the first spirit warrior, but we do not remember the stories that came from before. We do not remember who was the first to discover this power, or how it had been used before this crisis. Kaheleha was the first great Spirit Chief in our history. In this emergency, Kaheleha used the magic to defend our land. He and all his warriors left the ship, but they did not leave in their bodies, they left with their spirits."
Jacob watched with a slight smile as Sunny leaned forward, green eyes staring eagerly as Billy told the story. He noticed that her eyes looked almost cat-like with the way they reflected the fire's light.
"They could not physically touch the enemy tribe, but they had others ways. The stories tell us that they could blow fierce winds. The legends say that these spirit warriors could scream so loudly in the wind that it terrified their enemies. The stories say that the animals could see and understand them as well; the animals themselves would do their bidding." Billy spoke, his tone reverent as the legend fell from his lips, "Kaheleha took his spirit army and wreaked havoc on the intruders to their land. The invading tribe had packs of big, thick-furred dogs that they used to pull their sleds in the frozen north."
Jacob listened to his father with one ear, his focus mostly on the ginger haired girl sitting across from his.
"The other tribes, the Hohs and Makahs, made treaties with our people. They wanted nothing to do with our magic. We lived in peace with them. When any enemies would dare go against us, the spirit warriors would drive them away. Generations passed. Then came our last Great Spirit Chief, Taha Aki," Billy spoke with reverence and Jacob watched with secret amusement as Sunny bit her lip, her stare intensifying as if she were mesmerizing each word his father spoke. And knowing her, she probably was.
"Taha Aki was known for being a man of peace. The people lived well in that time and were content in his care, but there was one man, Utlapa, who was not content. Utlapa was one of Chief Taha Aki's strongest spirit warriors—a very powerful man, but a grasping man, too. He thought the people should use their magic to expand their lands, to enslave the Hohs and the Makahs to build an empire. When the warriors were their spirit selves, they knew each other's thoughts. Taha Aki saw what Utlapa dreamed, and was very angry with him. Utlapa was commanded to leave the people and to never use his spirit self again. He had no choice but to leave. The furious outcast hid in the forest nearby, waiting for his chance to take revenge."
Billy looked around the circle again and he smiled slightly when he saw the scowl on Sunny's face, a few of the pack were scowling as well. He schooled his face back into a serious expression then he continued.
"Even in times of peace, the Spirit Chief was vigilant in protecting his people. Often he would go to a sacred, secret place in the mountains nearby. One day when Taha Aki left to perform his duty, Utlapa followed him. At first, Utlapa simply planned to kill the chief, but this plan had drawbacks. Sure the spirit warriors would seek to destroy him, and they could follow faster than he could escape. As he hid in the rocks and watched the chief prepare to leave his body, another plan occurred to him."
Jacob noticed Sunny was practically shaking with eager anticipation as she listened.
"Taha Aki left his body in the secret place and flew with the winds to keep watch over his people. He knew the moment Utlapa had joined him in the spirit world and he knew his murderous plan. He raced back to his secret place, but the winds weren't fast enough to save him. When he returned, his body was already gone. Utlapa's body lay abandoned, but Utlapa had not left Taha Aki with an escape—he had cut his own body's throat with Taha Aki's hands. Taha Aki followed his body down the mountain. He screamed at the evil man, but Utlapa ignored him as if he were the wind." Billy continued then he lowered his voice to a carrying whisper.
"Taha Aki watched with despair as Utlapa took his place as chief of the Quileutes. For a few weeks, Utlapa did nothing but make sure everyone believe him to be Taha Aki. Then the changes began—Utlapa's first order was to keep any warrior from entering the spirit realm. He claimed to have had a vision of danger, but really he was afraid. Taha Aki was helpless to stop the horrible audacities that Utlapa was committing. He was helpless to stop him from taking a second and third wife. He watched as the evil man refused to work alongside of the warriors. Taha Aki made an attempt to kill his own body, ordering a wolf from the mountains to attack the false chief. When a young warrior was killed protecting the false chief, Taha Aki felt immense grief. He ordered the wolf away to the mountains once more."
Sunny listened to Billy reverently, mesmerizing every word he spoke as he spoke it. Coming from a long line of storytellers herself, the redhead knew what an honor it was to be able to listen to the Quileute legends as they used to be told. Her focus on Billy was so intense, she didn't even feel the multiple pairs of eyes on her or the heavily muscled arm Paul had casually slung over her shoulders.
"Every story tells us that it was not easy to be a spirit warrior. It was frightening to be free of one's body. That is why our people only called upon these powers in times of great need. It was uncomfortable and horrifying to be free of one's body and Taha Aki was away from his body for so long that he was in agony. He felt doom—trapped between this world and the next." Billy said, his gravelly deep voice reminding Sunny of when her grandfather would tell her stories of Cú Chulainn and other Irish legends and myths.
"The great wolf followed Taha Aki's spirit as he painfully made his way through the woods. The wolf was very large and beautiful. Taha Aki was suddenly very jealous of the dumb animal. It had a body. It had a life." Billy paused and let the suspense build for a moment then he continued, "He entered the wolf's body with relief and immense gratitude. It was not human body, but it was better than the spirit world. Together, the man and the wolf returned to the village on the harbor. The people ran in fear, shouting for the warriors to come and save them. The warriors ran to meet the wolf with their spears. Utlapa remained safely hidden."
'Coward.' Sunny thought viciously with a small scowl.
"Taha Aki did not attack his warriors. He retreated slowly from them, speaking calmly with his eyes and trying to yelp the songs of the people. The warriors began to realize that this wolf was no ordinary animal, that there was a spirit influencing it. One older warrior, Yut, decided to disobey the false chief's order and attempted to communicate with the animal. Upon entering the spirit world, the aged warrior learned of the false chief and welcomed his true leader home. Before he could return to his body, Utlapa saw the lifeless form and screamed 'traitor'. Yut jumped back into his body but was too late. Utlapa had a knife to his throat and his hand over his mouth. The aged warrior was weak with time and could not fight back. Utlapa silenced him forever."
Sunny bit her lip and mentally cursed Utlapa's existence, despite knowing he was long gone.
"Taha Aki watched in horror as Yut's spirit slipped to the finals lands that were barred to Taha Aki for all eternity. He felt such rage, much more powerful than any emotion he had ever felt before. He entered the wolf again, meaning to rip Utlapa's throat out. But as he joined with the wolf, the greatest magic happened."
Sunny leaned forward eagerly, she could tell this was a pivotal moment in the story, not only by the way Billy paused but by the way her friends seemed to lean forward as well, their chests puffed out with pride.
"Taha Aki's anger was the anger of a man. The love he had for his people and the great hatred he held for their oppressor was too vast for the wolf's body. The emotions were much too human. The wolf shuddered and—before the warriors and the terrified Utlapa—transformed into a man." Billy stated, his voice full of pride and admiration.
Sunny sucked in a deep breath quietly and unconsciously leaning into Paul's side as Billy continued to tell the legend.
"Taha Aki's new body was far more magnificent. It was the flesh interpretation of Taha Aki's spirit. The warrior recognized him at once, though, for they had flown with Taha Aki's spirit. Utlapa, the great fool, tried to run, but Taha Aki had the strength of the wolf in his new body. He caught the thief and crushed the fist from him before he could jump out of the stolen body. The people rejoiced when they understood what had occurred. Taha Aki quickly set everything right, working again with his people and giving the young wives back to their families. The only change kept in place was the end of the spirit travels. He knew that it was too dangerous now that the idea of stealing a life was there. The spirit warriors were no more."
Sunny mentally cheered for Taha Aki and she smirked slightly as she thought about how that was a big middle finger to Utlapa.
Billy took a deep breath then continued, "From that point on, Taha Aki was more than either wolf or man. They called Taha Aki the Great Wolf, or Taha Aki the Spirit Man. He led his tribe for many, many years, for he did not age. When danger threatened, he would resume his wolf-self to fight or frighten the enemy. The people lived in peace. Taha Aki fathered many sons and some of these found that, after they reached the age of manhood, they, too, could transform into wolves. The wolves, of course, were all very different. The forms reflected their spirits and the men they were inside."
Sunny heard Paul and Seth snicker from beside her and she promptly stepped on their feet and elbowed them both in the ribs simultaneously.
"Some of the sons became warriors with Taha Aki, and they no longer aged. Others, who did not like the transformation, refused to join the pack of wolf-men. These began to age again, and the tribe discovered that the wolf-men could grow old like everyone else if they gave up their spirit wolves. Taha Aki had lived the span of three old men's lives. He had married a third wife after the deaths of the first two and found in her his true spirit wife. Though he had loved the others, this was something else. He decided to give up his spirit wolf so that he would die when she did. That is how the magic came to us, but that is not where the story truly ends…" Billy trailed off then he gestured towards Old Quil.
Sunny instantly turned her attention to the wizened old man, his white hair gleaming in the fire light. She waited excitedly for him to speak, her hands clasped in her lap as she leaned forward slightly.
"I shall tell the story of the third wife's sacrifice." He spoke, his thin tenor voice belying the intensity that he spoke with, "Many years passed, Taha Aki was an old man when trouble began in the north, with the Makahs. Several young women had disappeared, and they blamed it on the neighboring wolves, which they feared and mistrusted. The wolf-men could still read each other's thoughts while in their wolf forms. They knew that none of their number was to blame. Taha Aki tried to pacify the Makah chief, but there was too much fear. Taha Aki did not want to have a war on his hands. He was no longer a warrior to lead his people. He charged his eldest wolf-son, Taha Wi, with finding the true culprit before the hostilities began."
Sunny listened to the elderly man just as intently as before, mesmerizing his words just as she had when Billy was speaking..
"Taha Wi led the five other wolves in his pack on a search through the mountains, looking for any evidence of the missing Makah women. They came across something they had never encountered before—a strange, sweet scent in the forest that burned their noses to the point of pain. They did not know what creature would leave such a scent, but they followed it nonetheless. They found traces of human scent and human blood along the trail. They were sure this was the enemy they had been searching for. The journey took them so far north that Taha Wi send half the pack, the youngest, back to the harbor to report to Taha Aki."
Paul snorted quietly and Sunny pinched his side without taking her gaze away from Old Quil. He squeeze her closer to his warm side in response.
"The younger brothers searched for their elders, but found only silence. Taha Aki mourned for his sons. He wished to avenge their deaths, but he was old. He went to the Makah Chief in his mourning clothes and told him the news. The Makah chief believed his grief and tensions ended between the tribes." Old Quil continued, either unaware or ignoring the slightly growls that had started up among the crowd, "A year later, two more Makah maidens disappeared from their homes on the same night. The Makahs called on the Quileute wolves at once, who found the same sweet stink all through the Makah village. The wolves went on their hunt again."
The Elder took a deep breath, "Only one of the wolves sent returned. Yaha Uta, the eldest son of Taha Aki's third wife, returned carrying strange cold pieces of a corpse. Yaha Uta described what had happened to his brothers—one of them underestimated the strength of the creature and became a victim. Yaha Uta and his other brother were more careful, but the creature matched their movements and got his hands on one of them. Yaha Uta found an opening on the creature's throat and began tearing at him desperately in an attempt to save his brother."
Old Quil looked around the bonfire slowly, his dark gaze full of wisdom then he continued, "He was too late, but he succeed in ripping his enemy apart."
Sunny sucked in a deep, quiet breath and cringed slightly as she leaned slightly into Paul's side, for once not grateful for her vivid imagination as it conjured up horrible images. Paul gave her shoulders a gently squeeze then he began rubbing her upper arm with his thumb lightly.
"Yaha Uta laid the remains of the creature on the ground to be examined when suddenly the corpse began to attach itself together and so the elders set fire to it. They spread the ashes far and wide, except a small bag which Taha Aki wore around his neck to be warned if the creature ever decided to get himself together again." Old Quil looked around again and his wizened gaze landed on Sunny's awe-inspired one, "The creature was called the Cold One and the Blood Drinker. The tribe feared there were others like it since they only had one wolf protector left."
Old Quil finally looked away from Sunny and stared into the fire, "Then came the Cold Woman, its mate. She was the most beautiful creature to be see, appearing like a goddess. The sun was shining that day and it glistened off of her skin like little jewels, her pale hair shining in the light. The tribe realized what she was when a little boy clinging to his mother screamed that the smell hurt his nose. An elder heard the little boy's cries and he yelled for the villagers to get away. He was the first to die at the Cold Woman's hands. She then proceeded to the other people, breaking their bodies easily. Her rampage continued through the village until Yaha Uta arrived—made aware of what was happening by two witnesses that had managed to escape the Cold Woman's wrath. He was followed by Taha Aki, the third wife, and the elders."
Old Quil heaved a great sigh, "Though she was not the warrior her mate was, she was still able to defeat Yaha Uta with ease. When Taha Aki saw his son fall, he turned into a grizzled old gray wolf, strength he had not felt in years returning to him in the face of his fury at what the Cold Woman had done to his people. He charged the Cold Woman and the two began to fight. Taha Aki was not the warrior he used to be and it seemed as if he would loose and his people would be doomed when the third wife came to a sudden realization."
"The third wife had just watched her son die and her husband ran a terrible danger, along with the rest of her sons and tribe. She head every word the witnesses told the council and heard Yaha Uta's version of events the night the Cold Woman's mate was beaten. She knew that the intervention of Yaha Uta's brother saved his life and allowed him to defeat the first Cold One."
Sunny pulled slightly away from Paul and leaned forward as Old Quil paused in his tale to take a breath.
"The third wife grabbed a knife from one of her sons then ran towards where the Blood Drinker and Taha Aki were fighting and stabbed herself in the heart."
The Irish girl cringed again and clenched her fists tightly in her lap, unable to even imagine the amount of courage the Third Wife must have possessed.
"The Cold Woman could not turn away from the fresh blood and gave into the thirst. Taha Aki took that moment to bit her throat, along with two of his sons who had felt such rage at seeing their mother die that they turned into wolves. After that, Taha Aki never returned to his human self, staying only to protect his wife's body before disappearing into the forest, never to return to the tribe again."
Old Quil turned his head and his gaze connected with Sunny's once again before he looked back to the fire, "The ability to fight against the Cold Ones has been passed from generation to generation, from father to son."
Sunny turned to stare at the fire as well when her green eyes met a pair of black orbs that were staring at her intensely from across the fire. She froze, unable to look away from the penetrating gaze.
"Jacob." She breathed so quietly no was able to hear her.
Author's Note: Buahahaha, this is even longer than the original version! Twelve pages, TWELVE! Sweet baby Jesus, this is probably the longest chapter yet. And like the original, I decided to split up the big reveal into two separate parts. The second part will most likely be posted either early tomorrow morning or later in the day since I'm going to the movies with mi familia. We're gonna see Jurassic Park in 3D, so excited. XD Anyhooties, I hope y'all liked this chapter!
PS - I still don't take credit for the legends in this chapter since it was, and still is, a mishmash of Twilightsagawikia and other fanfics that had the legend in the story. I take no credit for it at all.
Special THANKS to everyone that faved and/or alerted! You guys are awesome-sauce!
SPECIAL MENTIONS!

Anyhooties, I hope you liked this chapter! Feel free to point out any other typos. XD
ForeverTeamEdward13: Thank you, I'm glad you liked the last chapter.

Anyhooties, I hope you liked this chapter!
PeaceLoveHopeFaithBooks: I know right? Honestly, I think I just write this story for the adorableness that is Lily Finnegan and Claire Young. If I had sisters their age, I would spoil them both rotten. Anyhooties, I hope you liked this chapter!

Nostalgic Child: Thanks, I loved the old version too, but I have to admit that I love the remake even more.

Caleb's babe: Awesome, I love that movie. Caleb is super hot, but I'm more of a Pogue girl. There's just something about a guy with long hair and a motorcycle…What's your favorite scene in the movie? Mine's a tie between the swimming pool scene and the scene where Chase gets his arse handed to him by Caleb. I'm glad you liked the last two chapters and to answer your question, Sunny will official met Bella soon, though they briefly saw each other in chapter 8 while Sunny was at the store getting stuff for a sick Lily, though they weren't introduced to each other. Anyhooties, I hope you liked this chapter!
