Hey faithful readers, here I am with your dayly update!

One thing to note is that I tend to forget all about Quil quite often, so... yeah.

Disclaimer: Stephanie Meyer owns everything. I only have a claim to a few OCs and the supplements to the plot.

Call of the Forest 9 The Stuff of Legends (BPOV)

~*~X~*~

Edward and I met that Saturday, and we talked about the small insignificant things that make up life.

We met again on Sunday, at the park this time. We walked the pathways, and Edward was careful to never touch me.

That night Jake took me to a bonfire-this one had something to do with the moon I think? As we were walking down the trail towards the beach, Jake and I started talking.

"So where've ya been the past two days Bells? There was no one to have the fire with."

"What about Quil?"

"He joined Sam's cult. He used to call them 'hall monitors on steroids' but now look at him-he's joined them."

"I'm so sorry you were alone Jake…it's just that I was talking to this one guy…"

"Who?"

"This guy who goes to my old school-Edward Cullen."

"The Cullens are bad news Bella."

"Why?"

"Haven't you heard the legend?"

"What legend?"

"Well I guess you should hear it, since you live on our land now…"

~*~(JACOB NARRATION)~*~

Did you know Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves?

Like real wolves.

The Cullens are supposedly descended from this, like, enemy clan.

My great grandfather-the chief, found them hunting on our land, but they claimed to be something different, so we made a treaty with them.

If they promised to stay off Quileute lands, then we wouldn't expose what they really were to the palefaces.

~*~(END JACOB NARRATION)~*~

"I thought they just moved here."

"Or just moved back."

"Well what are they really?"

"It's just a story Bella, come on-everyone'll be waiting for us."

Jake ran ahead and I quickly followed, tripping a total of three times. Each time I tripped, Jacob caught me in his warm arms. As soon as we came from the path onto the beach a few heads turned, mostly from among the cult. I quickly identified Embry, Leah, and Nix standing among the ranks of Sam's cult. Leah and Embry averted their gazes as soon as I looked in their direction. I couldn't believe what I was seeing-they all weren't well enough to come to school, but they were healthy enough to be on the beach during a bonfire wearing Summer clothing in the middle of Winter?

As Jake and I walked towards the crowd of youth circling the blazing beryl bonfire, I saw the whole of Sam's cult scrunch their noses when a gust of wind blew from behind me towards them. I smelled a lock of my hair; I didn't smell anything incredibly out of the ordinary.

I just pushed the memories to the back of my mind as I hung out with Jake for the rest of the monthly bonfire.

~*~JPOV~*~

I noticed Embry and the other cult members scrunch their noses when a breeze came from behind us.

I pretended not to notice and spent the rest of the night with Bella.

Occasionally I caught one of the member's gazes, which was returned with my own firey gaze. How could Leah, Quil, and Embry do this to us?

Emby's gaze always held something that he wanted to say, but couldn't. Leah's stare was filled with a mixture of regret and hatred while Quil's was filled with longing, and Nix's showed sorrow.

I shook off the gazes that Sam, Jared and Paul sent me-almost as if they were expecting me to join them. As if I would join that cult of Sam's-everyone follows Sam like lost puppies.

Bella and I settled on a log as far away from the cult as we could. We watched the smaller children dance around the cobalt inferno as a few of the newer children were staring at the indigo flames intently, almost as if they were trying to figure out why the flames weren't dancing in their usual scarlet color.

When I felt Bella shiver, I snaked my arm around her waist and pulled her closer towards me.

She scooted closer to me over the smooth pale surface of the log and leaned into me.

I smiled as she cuddled into my chest.

Please review-they make me happy.
