Chapter- 9

Leah Clearwater had a body language of someone who wouldn't take shit from anyone or anything. I talked to her only three times in total and I already liked her very much.

She had a teasing smile on her face as she came down the porch of the Black house and stood right in front of me. She was towering over me as she was much taller but, it wasn't intimidating. I still had a slight confused look on my face from her Wolf comment.

Did she know about my dreams?

I panicked a little as soon as that thought crossed my mind.

But, that was impossible. How could she-

Maybe I have a direct link with the gooey brain inside her skull and we had a secret chat!

Really? I scoffed inwardly. Could you be more.. silent?!

"The La Push tribe has a lot of old stories and legends, you heard some of them as a kid but, maybe don't remember any of it." Leah spoke with a friendly smile.

I had some flashes of sitting by a bonfire with little Jake by my side as other people surrounded us. I actually don't remember any of the stories even though I may have listened to them in my childhood.

I lightly shook my head as a 'no' with a little lost look on my face.

Leah softly chuckled, she looked more beautiful when she was happy. But, I hardly saw her smile in school. I hated that bulky 'Sam' guy even more if he really was the one who cheated on Leah. How could he hurt her like that?

"The La Push tribe are supposed to be descendent from 'wolves' as the stories go," she made finger quotes with 'wolves'.

"Wolves?" My eyebrows rose up my head.

Leah nodded her head.

"I know it sounds odd, I find it very funny myself. Yet there are many people of this tribe who believe all those legends and stories to be true. But, that's ridiculous! 'Cause that would mean we live in a world full of vampires and werewolves."

I was really shocked to hear that. Yes, it sounded like a fantasy story.. but still, strange things happen in this world everyday.

"Can you tell me a little more about those stories? If it's okay with you?" I had the expression of a kid who was asking their mother to let them have a candy after they just came back from the dentist where they went for cavaties.

Leah laughed again and sat down on a step of the front porch.

"Fan of fairytales, are we?"

She was wearing a deep blue V-neck and a peach long skirt that rode up a little as she sat and exposed a bit of her long tan legs.

I was a little jealous of the girl, but I wanted nothing more than to make an actual female friend. And if it was someone as amazing as Leah then I'd be very lucky.

I sat down on the step beside her and shrugged my shoulders.

"Not a fan, but it sounds interesting."

She rolled her eyes.

"Yes, some parts are interesting but to me, most of them are like narratives from kid's bedtime stories. I'll tell you as much as I know. I'm not that good at the history stuff but, if you still have any questions, you can ask Billy or check out the local bookshops. They have plenty of informative books there."

"I wanna get an inside look from you first." I pouted a little and gave her my best puppy eyes.

"Ok, no need to get all cutesy-blackmailing on me," she feigned being scared and smiled teasingly afterwards.

I stuck my tongue out at her as her smile turned into a chuckle.

Real mature, genius..

I don't care. I wanna be carefree with Leah and I want her to be my friend.

"So," she brought her voice down a few octaves and gave me an intense look. "The vampires or more formerly known as "Cold Ones" by our ancestors had some differences among their own..."

TTT

(Just some basic vampire and werewolves stuff that Jacob tells Bella in the first book/movie. That's why I'm skipping the history lessons)

I was driving back from La Push after my history lessons with Leah. I couldn't help but panic as I kept picturing my dreams when she talked about the La Push ancestors being werewolves.. or Protectors, in their language.

Was all of it related to my dream somehow? If so, then how was it even possible? I'm not a Quileute or related to them in any way.

A lot of questions was nagging in my head and I had to find some answers. Leah could tell me all the basics and a few stories but, she didn't know her own tribe history that well. She was uninterested in that area.

I was driving towards the Forks bookshops. It was getting late. I already informed Charlie that I went to see Jake and will be buying some books afterwards. He wouldn't be home 'till midnight. I had to seek for answers on my own. Maybe I'd consider a shrink or something.. these dreams would drive me crazy otherwise.

Not that you're so sane already..

You do realize that every time you insult me, you insult yourself too?

No comment.

Thought so.

I parked my truck outside the bookshops and got out. There were very few people lingering around. It was almost 7, people were off rushing home. Forks wasn't that much of a crowded place anyways.

I walked towards the nearest shop. The little bell chimed as I walked in. There was a middle-aged man inside who gave me a glance but, didn't say anything else. I started fishing through the shelves, searching anything relating to the tribe, werewolves or vampires.

Most of them were stories, horror and thriller fictions. But, I didn't need those, I needed real legends and stories.

After a while, I finally found what I was looking for. Quileute Legends book. I immediately grabbed it and took it to the counter to cash out.

After I came out of the store, I walked a little quickly. I couldn't wait to get home and quench my thirst for some detailed stories. Maybe it would be able to explain my dreams, who knows?

I was halfway across to my truck when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see two guys smirking at me. They weren't huge like that Sam boy, but they were definitely a lot bigger than me.

I turned towards my truck about to make a run when I noticed two more guys blocking my path ahead. They started closing in on me rather creepily. I braced my throat to scream my lungs out when I noticed the guys in front of me visibly become pale. Their eyes turned the size of saucers as they kept staring at something behind me.

I heard gasps coming from the two guys behind me. They were all very scared, close to peeing their pants judging from their facial expressions.

I turned around slowly to see what could possibly creep out those visible creeps.

The five of us were the only people around. The parking lot was otherwise deserted.

Not exactly..

A few feet from us, on it's paws.. stood a huge brown-

Wolf!

'Till next time ;-)
