Chapter 10

Tracking

Everything seemed unreal again. I was lying down in the meadow that my mother and father claimed as their "special place". They went to this place anytime they wanted to spend some "husband and wife" time together. Well, at least that's what they told me. As in "husband and wife time together" I meant just so that they could make love without anyone bothering them. I looked around the flower filled place and started to wonder how it was still in place. What? The happy couple didn't destroy this place yet? I sighed unknowingly. When I reached of age when I finally realized what "making love" meant, my parents didn't do it as secretly as they used to. I wish they did though, I remember when I first walked in on that one. One word: Yuck!

Now that was a teenagers worst nightmare, seeing their father on top of their mother moaning and-. You know what, I'm not even going to say it because I don't want to have any flashbacks just like I did when my mother gave me "the talk". Ugh! Why am I thinking about all of my embarrassing moments now? Oh well, after that they started to "make love" in this meadow instead of in our cottage. My mother usually left me a note saying something like "I'm at the meadow with your father. Love you!". Great, she had to tell me what they were doing. She could have been like any other parent and say "Don't bother us". But no, not my mom. She had to go into details. I realized something then...mom...dad...meadow? Ewwwwwwww! I got up automatically from the soft bedding of purple and ran towards the woods. I hoped and hoped I wasn't in one of their spots, but I was right in the middle of it, so denial couldn't save me here. When I got to the woods, things seemed less brighter. Then I heard footsteps and without will or self-control, began to follow. I saw him then. Derek was lying on the ground throwing rocks and dirt. I touched his shoulder then he quickly got up. He started to pull my hand and I said something.

"Derek? What are you doing?"

"Just showing you something." he said to me. We continued walking and as if someone hit the fast-forward button on a remote. We were in a field miles away from the area we used to be in. I was about to question him until he pulled me closer to him and told me,

"Look!" I looked out into the distance, but I saw nothing. Derek then wrapped his arm around my neck and I felt...hair? Wait no, it was fur. I wanted to look at him, but my head didn't obey me. Instead I saw a mirror in front of the both of us. I looked the same except for the shock in my eyes. I turned my head slightly to look at Derek and he still looked the same, but different in his reflection. I saw him. His canine face and wide eyes locked hold with mines. He let out a low growl then I heard something behind me.

"Nessie...Nessie...Nessie! Stop dreaming about Derek so that we can go find him!" Even though my eyes weren't open, I knew who it was.

"Great way to wake someone up Alice!" I groaned.

"Come on already! I've been waiting all night!"

"Okay okay! Just let me wake up.", I yawned, "By the way, will you quit eavesdropping on my dreams?"

"Well I didn't just want to sit here and stare at you all night."

"All night!" I yelled.

"I had nothing better to do! Besides, Rose and Emmett watched your dreams too."

I heard Uncle Em laughing, "Did you seriously walk in on them?" Ugh! That's the one part I hate about my gift. No privacy. Then Uncle Em continued, "I'm really going to mess with you on that one!" He started laughing even harder. I sighed then got up to fix myself.

"Can you guys get out? I'm trying to put some clothes on!" They all left, except for Emmett. He continued laughing and rolling on the floor. I hissed at him.

"Okay okay! Easy Ness. I'll go mess with Edward and Bella about it." Right when he said that, I heard my father groan.

"Save the groaning for the bedroom guys!" Was the last word I heard Uncle Em yell before I slammed the door shut and locked it.

I searched through my closet. Surprise Surprise. Aunt Alice put brand new outfits that still had the tags on them. I decided to wear some clothes I'd worn last week, just to get on Alice's nerves. What? She got on my nerves last night about the whole "Derek and Nessie" thing. I half expected her to start singing the little kiddy song that goes "Derek and Nessie sittin' in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G.". Derek and I were not a couple. I didn't see him that way, not completely at least. I barely knew him; all I did was care about him. Yes I know that he's a boy, I'm a girl, but that doesn't mean we have to go out with each other. Just like the relationship with Kim and Jared. Just friends, nothing more. I finished getting dressed and I heard Alice groan at my outfit as I childishly stuck my tongue out at her like I used to do when I was little.

"Hey!", Uncle Em yelled, "Didn't I say save the groaning for the bedroom!"

"Sorry Emmett, I'll save it." Aunt Alice said while holding in laughter. Suddenly I felt at heat of lust in my body and I began to feel sort of...tingly, I guess. In a place that shall not and never will be named. I looked around the room and it looked like they felt it too. My dad heard my thoughts then said,

"Cut it out Jasper!"

"Sorry, I couldn't help it. You would've felt the same way too." I slowly began to comprehend what they were talking about, and I felt myself calm down. Whoa, what was that?

"Aww, did Nessie just have her first-."

"I swear to god Emmett if you finish that sentence!" my father threatened him. Now that one just crossed the line. Out of all the things Emmett has done to embarrass me, this was the worst, especially since my family and Jacob with his pack was in the room. I was about to leap over and attack him, but then I felt that feeling again.

"JASPER!" everyone yelled.

"Sorry." he pleaded.

"Ahh yeah, Jasper bro. Can you do it again?" We all turned to face Emmett, but it wasn't him who said it. It was Seth. We all burst out laughing as Leah slapped her face with her palm, ashamed.

"Alright, that's enough of this." Esme said and we all settled down.

Carlisle then turned towards me, "You still remember his scent, right?"

"Yeah, I remember it." I said.

"Well let's do this then!" Uncle Em said jumping up from the couch and we all headed out the door.

"Where to first?"

"Anywhere you smell his scent." Carlisle told me. I began to walk straight towards La Push and I heard Aunt Rose groan.

"Rosalie", Uncle Em teased, "Do we have to go over this again?"

"No sir!" she said and Emmett chuckled.

I knew that I'd never seen or smelt Derek in La Push, but I just wanted to go there. My father didn't point this out though and we continued walking. I sniffed in the air and I didn't smell him anywhere in the area; however, I smelt werewolf that seemed two weeks old. A mixture of wolf and human. Unlike the shape-shifters who kind of gave off a more wolf smell rather than a mixture. Like some new species or something.

"I don't smell him here."

"Surprise surprise..." my father mumbled and I rolled my eyes.

"Well, take us to the place where you last saw him." Carlisle told me.

I looked at him confused, "You mean, go all the way to Port Angeles?"

"Unless you'd prefer to drive."

"No, I think I can handle it." I began to run towards the city. Everyone followed right on my trails. This was so different, because I'm the one, if anyone else, doing all the following. It took a while, but we finally made it and we had to slow down because there were humans now. I went to the shop where Aunt Alice took me last time, the place where Cheryl was. I saw Jasper groan as we passed by the store. Aunt Alice winced and tried to look innocent.

"Seriously people! How many times do I have to say this?" Uncle Em groaned.

"Hey! You just did it!" Uncle Jas yelled.

"I'm an exception!", Uncle Em explained, "For me, everywhere is the bedroom!"

"Not with me it isn't."

"Wait to kill the mood Rose!" Uncle Em groaned again and Uncle Jas shook his head while Alice tried to comfort him.

I waited for all the cars to pass by then I ran across the street where the alley was. I started to get a flashback on where Derek was standing on the wall. I walked up to it then tried to look like I was scraping off something because people would stare at someone sniffing a wall. His scent was still there and I went further into the alley and his scent slowly got stronger and stronger. I started to follow it and ended up a mile away from where we began. Wow, Derek must have a lot of energy, unless someone carried him. I started to lose it as I came to a dead end of a brick wall.

"Hey guys!", Quil called over to us, "Maybe he crawled through here."

I walked over to the little hole at the bottom of the wall and saw an entrance. I bent down to sniff it and his scent was there. In fact, it was there a little too much. I saw a brick hanging off from the wall slightly and tried to open it to expand the hole. I knew only I could get through something that tiny. Then as I flicked the brick, I felt something wet and sort of sticky on my hands. Blood. Not just blood, but once I sniffed it; I realized it was Derek's blood. I didn't worry too much though. The end of the brick was so sharp it could probably cut through my skin too. I continued sniffing the blood and felt my instincts kick in. I wanted to lick it. Then my father tugged me and I came back to reality and tried to wipe the blood on the ground. Uncle Jas tensed up and we all decided to let him go first. I followed behind him along with the others.

We ended up out of Port Angeles and the scent began to lead back into the woods. We reached the road then I began running towards an area just outside of Forks. I saw little houses and buildings then I smelt his scent lead up to another alley. I heard music playing on a stereo as if someone were having a party, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from. I knew a human wouldn't be able to hear the noise so maybe that's why no one called the police. It was so loud that I actually wished someone did. I decided to ignore the music and focused on my main priority. Derek. I sniffed in the air and I could tell he was present.

"He's here!" I informed them.

"Where?", Carlisle asked, "He's nowhere in sight."

I knew what Carlisle meant because we came to another dead end and this time there weren't any holes in the wall. Was there? I searched around and landed my eyes on something and realized that's where the music was coming from. It was a little door that looked like it was made for dogs except it had a lock on it and was big and wide. I could barely see it because it was covered in paint to blend in with the wall. I walked over to the door and giggled it a little. It was locked. I began giggling it some more then got frustrated and just broke the lock. I opened the door and a beam of light was coming from down the stairs.

"Come on." I urged them, but they seemed hesitant.

"I don't think that's a good idea Nessie." Jacob said.

"But he's got to be in here. I can smell it." They all exchanged glances then my father said,

"Okay, but stay close." I nodded. Honestly, I was a little scared to go in there myself.

"It's okay, we won't let anything happen to you." I nodded at my father again. Jacob went in first followed by me, dad, mom, and everyone else. We walked down the stairs and turned to the corner where the light was coming from. We walked down the hallway and turned another corner. A female ran out of nowhere and started throwing up with a beer bottle in her hand.

"I'm not so sure about this." my mother said.

"Just keep close." my father said. We walked around the now passed out human and there where many doors. Doors on the side and one red door straight down the hallway where the music seemed to be coming from.

"Where do you smell his scent?" Carlisle yelled over the music.

"Right down this hall!" I yelled back. We walked down the hall and opened the door to pure darkness. Well, it wasn't dark for us, just a different color. Humans were dancing and drinking and I saw half of them didn't have any clothes on. My father immediately covered my eyes and I didn't reject. I couldn't bare anymore of it. Is this really something some people do? And why would Derek be in here?

"Just follow the scent!" my father yelled and I answered with okay. I did as he told me to and followed the scent. My dad's arms were tight around me as we bumped into naked drunk teens and young adults. My dad's arms covered my ears and I was grateful because I almost lost my eardrums. I heard a door open then close and I realized that I led us to a different room. It was more silence in this room and my dad released his grip on my eyes and neck.

"Good God! I'm glad that's over with!" Leah yelled while coming in the door.

I began to look for Derek again and his scent increased in the atmosphere. I looked around the room filled with light and saw couples kissing on a little bench and saw smoke in the air. I turned towards it then I saw Derek sitting on one of the benches with his head down. I walked over to him and he noticed my presence. Right when he looked up, a guy sitting next to him that looked about 16 blew smoke right in his face, then continued smoking whatever it was in that little container that sort of looked like something people used to test your temperature back before they came out with the electronic ones. Derek looked at me and I saw deep black circles around his eyes with were now red on the white part. He looked like he was going to faint as he rocked side to side. Oh my god.

"He...he, hey...Reneser..uh, whateves yo name is...Man! Fuck it, anyways...how you been doing baby? Why don't you come join the party...because I feel great!" We all stared at him in shock.

"Well you don't look great! What happened Derek?" I saw his eyes begin to close then he shook his head.

"Look, I'm trying to enjoy myself right now.", he said then let out a burp, "So...if you're just gonna stands there like you stupid...and not put yo mouth to use. Then get outta my face girl!" I couldn't even respond. I wanted to slap him, but then I realized that this wasn't him. It was just the drugs talking.

"You heard the man!", the guy next to him said while letting out another puff in Derek's face, "If you not gone do nothing, then go somewhere!"

"It's okay Derek. Let's get you out of here." I said while trying to lift his slump body.

"Hey, little homie where you going?" the guy said while falling against the wall.

Derek coughed then said, "I guess she wants to suck it in private..."

"Oh god!" Esme said.

"Alright! That's it, we're leaving!"

"Mmm, I didn't...know you were so eager!" I just ignored him and Carlisle took him from my arms.

"He looks like he'll pass out in about 20 minutes. I need to get him back to the house."

We ran out of this crazy place and Seth looked like he was going to throw up. Carlisle had Derek on his back and within 15 minutes, we were back at the house. When we got inside, Carlisle lightly placed Derek on the sofa and he coughed.

"Derek?" I asked him to see if he got any better, even though I knew he didn't.

"Hey, uhh...my head hurts!" he said then I sat down next to him and lightly rubbed his head.

"Go to sleep and we'll help you then."

"Wha...what? Hey! You were supposed to give me head!"

I chuckled then I knew he wouldn't go to sleep with that on his mind, "Go to sleep and you'll get it." I told him.

"Yay.", he barely said and I laughed, "I really will? That's...so, cool! I'm gone go to sleep...right now."

I smiled at him then whispered, "Good night Derek." And he was out.
