Hey you guys!
It's about time for another chapter. The response for last chapter is pretty much what I expected, and I'm hoping to better it with this one. Twilight will conclude with this chapter, but I think that's pretty understandable considering there really is no mention or plot involving werewolves in the original, don't worry New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn should stretch out.
As you can see I changed some chapter names, the main summary, and added Jacob as a major character. I feel like Jacob will be playing a bigger role in Jessie's life after this chapter. Plus I can kind of see Jessie sort of mentoring Jacob through the whole deal with Bella. Plus putting Jacob as one of the characters is a good way to get some exposure for this story. (Yes I'm that horrible, lol)
Thanks to my 3 reviewers, I hope to hear from more of you!
I smiled as the familiar stench of vampire hit my nostrils as I stepped out of my car. Yes I smiled and it was because of stench, the stench of friends. I walked up to the front door, only to have it open for me, with Alice waiting behind it.
"Good morning," Alice said.
"Thank you," I said, "Good morning to you as well."
"Well don't just stand there," Alice said, tugging on my arm, "Come in!"
"So what's the occasion Alice?" I asked, kicking off my shoes.
"Nothing, just wanted to hang out," Alice said, "Come on!"
Before I knew it I was dragged at incredible speeds up and to Alice's room. We entered and she walked over to her massive closet. I gaped at all the clothes that she had, and I swear if she wanted to she could have a different outfit for every day of the year, and then some.
"I know what you mean," Jasper said from the bed.
"Wait," I said, "Why do you guys even have a bed if you don't even sleep?"
Jasper gave me an amused look, "Oh yea…." I said, "Ew….."
Jasper laughed and went back to reading a magazine. I laughed at the picture, a deadly vampire reading magazine on a yellow bed. "That was a strange chuckle," Alice said.
"First of all," I began, "I don't chuckle, I laugh, and secondly what was so strange about it."
"Pfft, you're such a snob," Alice said, "And it was strange because it sounded strange, therefore making it strange."
"Whatever," I said plopping down on the bed next to Jasper.
"Great now we'll have to wash the smell out later," Jasper said flipping another page.
"Get over it," I said, "Unlike me you don't have to breathe if you don't want to."
"Jasper, could you leave us alone for a while?" Alice asked.
"Why?" he asked, looking up from the magazine.
"Girl talk," Alice said.
"But Jess is……oh I see," Jasper said.
I smiled at him as he got up and left, "I might as well stay though, everyone in the house will be able to hear you talk." Jasper said.
"We'll pretend they can't," I said.
He shrugged his shoulders before walking out of the room and shutting the door behind us.
"So what exactly does girl talk entail?" I asked.
"What else?" Alice asked, "Boys, music, and fashion."
"Isn't that a little superficial?" I asked, arching an eyebrow
"I think we're free to be from time to time," Alice said, lying down next to me, "So which one will it be?"
"Well I'm no expert in fashion or have any interest really, so how about boys." I said with a grin.
"I knew you'd pick that one." Alice said.
"Of course you did," I said.
"So how are the men in your life?" Alice asked.
"I thought we were going to talk about you," I said.
"I have Jasper, I'm pretty content with him," Alice said.
"Well yah," I said, "But you're still allowed to look right?"
"I imagine if I had any desire too," Alice said, "What about you?"
"I have no desire for love right now," I said crossing my arms and resting on the bed, "There's no point really, I mean why should I grow to love someone and then just break their heart in the end when I go and imprint on some total stranger; no one deserves that!"
"Imprinting?" Alice asked.
"Werewolf thing," I said, "When we first see someone and we imprint on them that means we're supposed to be together for more or less forever," I said, "You're totally drawn to that person and it could just be from looking them in the eyes."
"I see," said Alice, "So you have no affection for someone you previously loved."
"I've seen it firsthand," I said, "They feel extremely horrible, but the feelings for the new person are so great, they outweigh anything you had for the other."
"That's pretty terrible." Alice said.
"Tell me about it," I said, "One imprinting practically tore La Push apart."
"Who was it?" Alice asked.
"Sam Uley, my alpha, he imprinted on his girlfriend's second cousin." I said, "The two were practically BFFs until Sam came in between them."
"Doesn't he care that you would be revealing all of this to a vampire?" Alice asked.
"Eh, I'm leaving soon," I began, getting a frown from Alice, "What? I thought you were leaving too."
"We we're, that was until Edward decided to finally give in and go to Bella."
"So they're dating?" I asked.
"Pretty much," Alice said, "He spilled everything and now she knows we're vamps. You won't tell your friends right, I know that they might worry about the treaty or something."
"Don't worry about it, I don't care, love is love," I said, "Besides, it's not like I exactly like those people anymore."
Alice's confused look, prompted me to continue, "They don't even know that I hang out with you guys, didn't Carlisle tell you?"
"No," Alice said, sending a glare in the direction I assumed Carlisle was in, "Well I guess that is kind of helpful if you ever need us."
"Yah it was, but I'm glad I've actually gotten to know you guys as friends, not just allies." I said.
"Awwww Jess," Alice said, embracing me in a hug.
We talked for a good amount of time and I played a few video games with Jasper and Emmett before I was headed for the front door. I turned to say goodbye to Alice when she went rigid, "Alice?" I called.
She shook her head back and forth and grinned something wicked at me, "How good of a cook would you say you are?" Alice asked me.
"I can manage," I said, "Why?"
"You're coming over this Saturday and you're going to help us cook for Bella." Alice said.
I sighed, "What time?" I asked knowing that if Alice said I was going to come, I was going to come.
"Try and be here around eleven, that'll give us time to make lunch."
"For who?" I asked.
"Bella of course," Alice said, "We're going to try and make her feel welcomed."
"I guess I'll see you Saturday then," I said.
"Bye Jess," Alice called as I headed home.
The six days between the past Sunday and today passed fairly quickly. A few patrols here and a few homework assignments there, nothing major. Jared, Paul, and Sam were still oblivious to my visits with the Cullens; my mind was practically impenetrable when we were all patrolling the reservation.
On the off chance that they would ever start to pry, a naked image of a random guy or memories of sex would steer them very clear of my head. I would often laugh at their cries of visual and metal anguish. "If you don't want to see it, then don't try to pry into my head," I would say.
I pursed my lips as I pulled up to the Cullens house and got out. Edward opened to the door to the house and tried to block the entrance, "You don't have to do this," he said, "You can go home."
"Sorry Edward, but Alice asked me," I said, ducking under his arm and inside the house.
"She's going to feel so weird when she sees all of this." Edward said.
"It'll make her know that she's special," I said, "A family of vampires cooking for her and only her, she'll feel like a princess."
"Too bad she doesn't want to," Edward said.
"Oh, she's one of those types," I said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Edward asked as we walked into the kitchen.
"Nothing," I said as I glanced around the kitchen. Pans, pots, bowls, measuring cups and food littered the table as the stove was fired up, "Whose ready to cook?" Emmett asked exuberantly.
"What's the theme?" I asked, spinning a knife.
"Italian," Esme said, "Lead the way Jessie."
"Okay Carlisle can you boil some pasta for me?" I asked, taking the reigns, "And Esme will you start working on a tomato sauce?"
The two elder vampires nodded as they went about their jobs. "Where's Alice and Jasper?" I asked.
"They went hunting," Rosalie said, "Jasper will need to be able to control himself around Bella. Unlike your filthy mongrel blood, hers is pure and very tempting."
"Thanks Rose," I said, "You always know how to brighten up my day."
She sneered at me, "I'm going to go pick up Bella," Edward said before the slam of the door was heard.
I looked at Emmett and Rosalie, Rosalie looked ready to tear the head off of a baby rabbit and Emmett, well bull in a china shop anyone? "Um…." I began rubbing the back of my head, "Emmett, why don't you put some bread in the oven," I said causing his face to fall, "And Rosalie…….why don't you make a salad."
"A salad? You want me to make my food's food? It's bad enough that the animals eat the green garbage but now I have to prepare it?" She asked incredulously.
"Just do it," I said as I started to work with some chicken breasts, slightly marinating them for a few minutes and then cooking them, knowing we were pressed for time.
By the time Edward and Bella arrived we were just about done. "Bella, welcome," Esme said as she walked toward the couple.
Bella looked at the four of us in the kitchen, "Thank you, you have a wonderful home," Bella said.
"You've given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time," Carlisle said, stepping next to Esme
"I hope you're hungry, we made Italian," Esme said as she walked toward the couple.
"Oh yeah totally," Bella said.
"She already ate," Edward said.
I gripped the counter tightly, causing a few cracks to form under the pressure, but my reaction wasn't as extreme or as noticeable as Rosalie's as the bowl holding the salad she prepared cracked and fell to the floor, "Perfect," she said walking towards the timid girl.
I kind of zoned out and started cleaning as the family talked, turning off the oven, stove and started disposing of food, and rinsing plates; a shame really because it was probably the only time they'd ever been used.
"Oh that's Jessie," Carlisle said, causing me to look over to them, "He's a family friend!"
"Hi Bella," I said.
"It's pretty cool, Jessie's a wer-" Emmett began.
"A Quileute," I said quickly, cutting Emmett off and sending him a glare.
"Oh really," Bella said, still with Edward by her side, "I didn't think to much about it, you don't like have long hair like them."
I was slightly offended at her stereotype of Native Americans all having long hair, "Well I'm not really into long hair," I said, "I like to keep it short, and I like to keep me knowing the vampire Cullens a secret, cool?"
"Yah totally," Bella said, "I guess this group likes to keep secrets."
"You have no idea," I said, receiving some knowing looks from the Cullens and a confused look from Bella.
"So do you know Jacob Black?" Bella asked.
"We've talked before, he's an alright kid," I said.
"Well, I think it'd be alright if I showed Bella around some more," Edward said escorting her away.
"They're so cute," Esme said once they were out of range.
"I think she'll be more trouble then she's worth," Rosalie said.
"I agree," I said.
Carlisle gave us a frown, "Alright then, you two can clean up this kitchen while we get the cars ready."
Rosalie and I moaned, "I'm serious," he said, "Now get to it, we leave in forty minutes for some baseball."
"Yes!" I cried.
"You won't be playing Jess," Alice said.
"Why not?!?" I cried, wielding a pan.
"Because what kind of human will have the strength of a vampire?" Alice said, causing me to frown and pout, "The thunder will start in about thirty minutes, we'll collect you two then."
Alice, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle and Emmett headed for the garage as they got ready for the day's activities.
I frowned as we walked out on the wide field. I sat on the ground as I watched Emmett move at super speeds and lay down the bases as he went. Rosalie and Carlisle went back and forth to see who'd hit first and then there was Edward bringing Bella over, she was wearing a baseball cap, making her look more like a child then a teenage girl.
"So glad you could join us Bella," Esme said, "we need an umpire."
"Okay," she said.
Before I knew it I was laying on a blanket on the sidelines, playing pretend human, while the game commenced.
Rosalie was up first, and despite her graceful appearance she hit the ball like an absolute juggernaut. I laughed as I could see Bella's eyes widen all the way from my spot.
I barked out a laugh when she was called out, "Mutt," she said lowly.
"Bitch," I returned.
Carlisle and Jasper did as I expected, but I was still surprised every time the ball was pelted out of the field or someone would leap up and catch it in mid-air. About halfway through the game as Rosalie slugged it to the deep left I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise, and I watched Alice tense and go rigid.
"STOP!" she called, catching everyone off guard. I saw Edward look back to where the ball had been hit, and a fog almost seemed to roll in. Everyone started to run back towards home plate, I began to follow when I smelled it, vampire.
This wasn't like the Cullens smell though, they were laced with human blood, and lots of it. The stench of it practically clung to my nose as I was forced to inhale it over and over again. I stood by Jasper and he used his power to calm me down. I was thankful, because I had come close to phasing in front of Bella, and almost let a growl escape my throat. For the time being I wanted to look somewhat normal around Bella.
We stood in a line as the fog seemed to clear and four people strolled out, walking towards us. The first was an African man with some serious dreads, followed by a woman with stunning and vibrant red hair. She walked near a man who had an absolutely animalistic and feral look in his eyes, and beside him was an Asian looking man, his black hair spiked up, even though no gel was visible, and all of their eyes were as red as the blood they drank.
I zoned out of the conversation, my eyes locking with the Asian man. He grinned evilly at me, and I knew he had something up his sleeve. "Sure, some of us were just leaving," Carlisle said tossing the baseball, bringing me back to reality.
"I'm the one with the wicked curve ball," The vampire with red hair said as she caught the ball; her name I discovered, was Victoria.
"Oh, well, I think we can handle that," Jasper said, mostly everyone laughed, but I could still feel the heavy tension in the air, and was growing more concerned as the man, James, continued to stare down Bella.
"We shall see," the African vampire, Laurent, said as he walked back with Victoria and the Asian vampire, but James remained rooted in the ground.
The wind blew, sending Bella's scent through the air and that's when the tension boiled over. He inhaled deeply and turned back to Bella, "You brought a snack."
I nearly wet myself as every single vampire let out a hiss. The Cullens crouched down and formed a line in front of Bella as I stood in front of her.
"Associated with a lowly human," the Asian vampire sneered
"Calm it Tai," Laurent said, turning to Carlisle, "I see the game is over."
"Yes, it'd be best if you left," Carlisle said as Edward quickly took Bella away.
"Not only a human," Tai said, "But a filthy, flea ridden mutt as well?" Tai asked looking at me.
"Oh please," I said, "Compared to me, you're as big of a threat as the size of your dick."
Emmett snorted, "Think you're funny mutt?" Tai hissed at me, "How bout I bend you over and show you how big of a threat I really am."
"How about no," I said, "I have more class then to even consider sleeping with you, and real polite to say such a crude thing in front of everyone."
Tai licked his lips, causing a bit of bile to rise up in my throat, he was attractive but at the same time completely and utterly repulsing. "I think I'll be leaving you to your 'diplomatic' vampire discussions Carlisle."
Carlisle nodded and I waved goodbye as the Cullens were still ready to pounce on the nomadic vampires at any given moment.
I quickly got to my car and drove off; hoping no more trouble would come from them.
I swiftly moved across the land, my blood red fur swishing in the wind as I created a trail towards Idaho. Turns out that James was now completely infatuated with Bella and was living for the hunt; Laurent had apparently stopped by and told the Cullens that James would stop at nothing in his pursuit.
I ran through the lush forests of Washington towards the border with Idaho to hopefully draw James away from Bella who was actually headed to Arizona with Jasper and Alice. I currently had one of Bella's jackets tied around my neck and an old blouse around my left hind leg as I ran.
I reached a river and phased back to my human form, the cool air nipping at my flesh. I quickly threw Bella's clothing into the river before phasing back and starting the run home in a new direction. I hoped that my scent wasn't to distinguishable and only hoped that James would fall for it.
I sat in the Cullen living room with Rosalie and Esme as we waited for any sort of news from the others. James had figured out that we were trying to fool him, and quickly tracked Bella to Arizona. Esme, Rosalie and I stayed behind in case anything were to erupt here.
None of us said anything as we sat in silence, scattered throughout the living room in various locations. The silence was broken by the shrill ringing of a telephone. Esme quickly picked it up, "Yes?!" she answered.
I saw her eyes widen, "Alright, we'll be waiting," Esme said before hanging up.
"What is it?" Rosalie asked.
"They got to James and managed to destroy him," Esme said, "But not before he managed to attack and harm Bella."
"What happened?" I asked alerted.
"He broke a few of her bones, and managed to bite her." Esme said.
My jaw dropped slightly and Rosalie balled her fists, "Is she?" Rosalie mumbled.
"No," Esme said, "Edward managed to suck out the venom."
"Wonderful," I said, "Where are they now."
"At a hospital in Arizona," Esme said, "Though they plan on bringing her back to Forks tomorrow."
I wiped my forehead, "Well now that this is over, I think I'll head home," I said, "Make sure to send Bella my best wishes."
"Will do Jess," Rosalie said.
"Wait…." I said pausing, "YOU CALLED ME JESS!"
"So, what's the big deal?" Rosalie asked.
"You used my real name!" I exclaimed.
"Get out of here," Rosalie said.
"Bye," I said before I headed home.
It was now May, and tomorrow was my high school graduation, and I couldn't be more ecstatic, one final day of school, and all I had to do was walk up on stage, get my diploma and move out of here.
I was surprised at how easy it was to convince my parents to give Leah my college fund. My dad's store in Forks did better then I expected, providing a lot of extra income over the years. Now all I had to do was get the scholarship.
After the whole James thing was over with I hit the books hard. I made sure I knew everything and that I would graduate at the very top of my class. Plus the fact that I put I volunteered on my Reservation also helped my application.
I remember the few nights that my mom and I spent at the kitchen table filling out applications and totaling fees for postage and entrance. I was now anticipating what my life would be like once I moved away from La Push.
I was currently walking to the mail center on La Push where everyone's mail was delivered and my heart raced with excitement and fear. I had already been turned down by Boston College, but I wasn't about to give up hope. I walked in with the family key and proceeded to our box. I slipped in the key and turned it. I scanned the four letters in our box, spam, spam, letter,…..letter from Pennsylvania State University.
I slowly slid my finger under the envelope seal and opened it.
Dear Mr. Mundai
I quickly skipped all of their information about their information about their wonderful school.
We are pleased to inform you that you will be receiving a full paid scholarship to Pennsylvania State University. We hope to here from you soon, and look forward to having you at our school.
Sincerely,
Graham B. Spanier
I clutched the letter, my hands shaking. I think I started hyperventilating before I flew from the center. I didn't stop running, and I think I was kicking up dirt clouds behind me as I ran. I saw the Clearwater residence come into view.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed.
She opened the door, and freaked to see her best friend running full speed at her. I plucked her arms and started jumping up and down while twirling at the same time. "WE'RE GOING TO PENN STATE!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed.
It took a moment to register in her mind before I saw the realization in her eyes, "You got the scholarship?" she asked frantically.
"YES!" I cried.
"And you're really going to pay my tuition?" Leah asked.
"Yes, Leah!" I said.
"OH MY GOD!!!" She cried, "Wait what about housing and all of that stuff?"
"We'll worry about that later," I said, "Let's celebrate!"
We then frantically started jumping around in a circle with as we clutched each other's hands , while laughing. Now imagine seeing two people doing this in the middle of a yard, what would you think? We knew what Seth thought when he came out, "Who let the crazy loose?" he asked.
Too bad we ignored him as we continued to jump, scream and laugh. Things were really shaping up for Leah and me, and for the first time in a while I felt extremely happy. The pack didn't know a thing about my plan to leave, and I planned on keeping it that way.
Graduation went pretty smoothly, I received applause from family and friends as I was called up on stage. I sent a glare towards Gabe, and then proceeded off the stage.
I then passed on the duty of head werewolf at school to Paul. He was surprised that I had picked him, but I told him that it would be a good experience to look out for all the potential werewolves at school.
The party was pretty great too, except that Sam almost found out that I was planning on leaving. I personally don't know how he would react, but I'm sure he'd take it well and be glad to see that Leah and I were happy.
The next day I found a box by my bedside table. I opened it to find a necklace, and it was absolutely stunning. It was a tetrahedron styled necklace, each one of the sides was a different gem, which were a sapphire, ruby, emerald, and diamond.
I marveled its beauty and knew it must have cost a pretty penny, and as I ran my finger over the smoothly cut ruby, I noticed a small note in the box.
Hope you had a wonderful graduation! Good luck with your move and we hope to stay in touch
The Cullens
My heart swelled about three times its regular size. It would be hard to say goodbye for now to my parents and them, but it wasn't goodbye forever.
Two weeks had passed and Leah and I were still excited to be moving out east for our very first fall semester. I headed downstairs for the day and I started making myself something for breakfast. I smiled at my dad and hugged my mom as I sat down at the table.
"What are your plans for today?" my dad asked.
"I thought I'd head into Forks and find something to do for the day," I said.
"When do you think you'll be home?" my mom asked.
"I'll probably be gone all day," I said.
"Alright dear, but could you do me a favor and pick up some milk on your way home?" she asked.
"Absolutely," I said, "Need anything else?" I asked as I set my dish into the sink.
"No, have a good time sweetie," my mom said, kissing my cheek.
"I'll see you guys later then," I said.
"So long son," my dad said.
"Love you," I called as I went out the door.
I drove to the reservation border and stopped when I saw a black blur. I pulled over to see Sam quickly pulling on some shorts, his rear end to me, and let's just say I got a good view. I honked my horn and he whipped around suddenly. I rolled down my window so I could talk to him, "What are you up to?" I asked.
"Nothing much," he said walking over and leaning against my car, "Just getting ready to patrol tonight."
"I see," I said looking over his body, his muscles calling to me.
"What else do you see?" he asked.
"I see my sexy beast off a friend," I said.
He laughed, not knowing that I had been serious, "Where you headed?" Sam asked.
"Into Forks, just going to hang around for the day," I said.
"Make sure to be back before it gets too late," he said.
"Will do," I said.
I spent the day with the Cullens and Bella, just hanging around the house and having fun. It was around nine when I felt like I had been punched in the heart, "Are you okay Jessie?" Jasper asked me, knowing how I felt.
"I think so," I said, "Just got this awful feeling all of a sudden."
"What's the problem?" Alice asked.
"I don't know," I said, I think I'm going to head home though."
"Alright then, I guess we'll see you soon." Alice said escorting me to the door, "Bye!"
"Bye," I said as I headed for the grocery store to pick up the milk that my mom wanted.
I quickly got the milk and headed home, the feeling in my stomach getting worse with each passing minute. I drove quickly onto the reservation and made my way to my house.
When I opened my door, I think my heart stopped. The stench of vampire was extremely strong, so much so that my eyes started to water. I slammed my door and walked inside slowly, the milk still dangling from my right hand, my keys in my left.
I opened the front door and followed the smell to the kitchen, and I swear my heart dropped. The scene made my heart and soul completely shatter. The table had been flipped over, chairs broken and in pieces around the room, but there, lying in a pool of blood, were my parents, the life completely drained from my eyes and wounds visible on their necks, arms and wrists. They had been attacked and killed by a vampire, but why? Why did it have to be them?
I dropped the milk and it splattered open, running and hitting the blood. My knees gave out and I slid down to the floor. My eyes watered and my lips trembled, as I reached a hand out to my parents. My hands touched the blood and I immediately drew back, the cold reality hitting me dead on.
I let out some sobs and weakly reached up to counter top, my bloody hand staining the white tile. I managed to grab the phone and enter the three digits.
"Hello, 9-1-1, what is your emergency?"
I didn't tell her anything about what happened, just my address, "Sir I need you to talk to me," the female operator said.
I repeated my address over and over again and let a few more sobs escape before I hung up. I don't know how long I sat there in that pool of blood in milk, but it was too long, it was long enough for the image of my dead parents lying there to be burned into my head for eternity.
I looked up when a hand was placed on my shoulder. I looked up to see the somber face of the Police Chief, Charlie Swan, "Let's go outside," he said.
I looked back at my parents one last time, "Goodbye," I said, my voice breaking and failing me, "I'll always love you," I said.
I sat down on my front porch and a police officer draped a blanket over my shoulder as Charlie informed the paramedics what had happened. I looked up to observe all the flashing lights and vehicles parked outside my house.
I don't know how much time passed, but eventually my parents were wheeled out, in their dark cold body bags. "JESSIE!!!!" someone called.
I looked up to see a horrified Sam run up to me, "What happened?" he asked.
I looked up at him my heart ready to burst. Why had Sam let this happen, I thought I could depend on him, but I couldn't and this is what happened, "You were supposed to be patrolling." I said, watching as Sam grew rigid, "You were supposed to stop this. THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!" I cried, "YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN PATROLLING!!" I screamed at him, not caring if anyone else heard.
"I was" he mumbled.
"DON'T LIE TO ME SAM, DON'T YOU DARE LIE TO ME. HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN?!?" I screamed.
"I…." Sam said with watery eyes, before he turned and fled, his head not looking back even once. He ran away, from me, he ran away from one of his problems. Everything that I ever thought about Sam changed the moment he left me alone on my porch in the cool night. I guess I just wasn't worth it, over judging my value in Sam's eyes.
I pulled my legs to my chest, and felt my necklace dangle around my neck. I wouldn't bawl here, but I would let the tears out. I let them slide down my face in a flash flood of emotion and absolute destruction.
I felt my energy diminish and my soul and mind shut down as the two people I loved for my entire life were taken away from me, in a matter of a day.I didn't have a date where I could prepare myself to say goodbye to them, to see them for the last time, to hold their hand as they passed. I shut everything out, I didn't respond to any of the officers telling me they had to ask me some questions, or the gentle touches on my head and shoulders. I breathed and that was it.
I didn't talk, I didn't respond, I didn't react, and I didn't feel. I was no longer anything and I wished I no longer existed. My escape was shattered, my hopes and dreams of leaving gone along with it. I couldn't leave, I couldn't leave everything my parents had behind, but I couldn't hold on to them, I didn't want to hold onto them, because if I did I would truly admit to myself that they were gone. I was stuck on this reservation, and right now I felt like I was about to be trapped forever.
It was only when my chin was titled up and I saw that the Clearwaters were here for me. I didn't feel so alone now, now that I had my family with me.
"We have to ask you some questions now Jessie," Charlie said.
"Alright," I said standing and following after Charlie.
I stopped dead in my tracks though as he started walking towards the kitchen, "No," I said weakly, "Please…not in there."
"Of course," Charlie said, "I'm sorry, how could I possibly think that would be alright."
I sat down in my dad's favorite armchair and everyone surrounded us, and I was ready for Charlie's interrogation to begin.
Okay what did you think? I thought I'd get around farther then I did in this chapter, but that just means more for the future.
So there's my first main thing that I've changed, instead of 3 nomadic vampires, there is 4. How is Tai going to affect things, we'll see.
Next chapter will hopefully be the rest of the summer through to the beginning portions of New Moon.
Sorry if things seemed a bit jumpy again, but I'm just trying to cover the main points, to me this really sucks and moves way to fast, but I don't know some of you seem to like it. God this is really bugging me how much I think this is horribly written. Next chapter should be better because it's going to have some serious angst, and I think I'll be ready for that.
So until next time, it was fun, and I hope you had a nice read, love you all!
