(Rena POV)
What was happening to Ella? All of a sudden she goes from the proud angel to the reckless teenager. Once I helped Ella up the stairs, I made my way to my new room. It would be just mine until tomorrow when Talia and mom finally get here. I opened my window to let some fresh air in the room. I looked outside and saw the beach. It was so nice to live so close to the ocean. The moons reflection rippled in the water gave me shivers down my spine. Just then I heard a wolfs howl. I didn't expect anything less from La Push.
I sleepily went and laid down on my bed. As I snuggled under the covers I thought of Embry. How nice it would be to have his arms around me. I could still feel the warmth of his hands on my body from when he was tickling me. We seemed to get along pretty well. Who was I kidding? He probably sees me as "one of the guys" or something. I wish he would look at me the way Paul looks at Ella. Today was their first meeting and he looks at her as if he was madly in love with her. It wasn't even a creepy look either. I wish I had that. I would give up my angel powers to be with someone that looks at me like that.
(Embry POV)
"You can't move so quickly with Elata, Paul. It's not normal." I said while in the car on our way home.
"Well neither is being a werewolf. Imprinting isn't supposed to be normal, remember?" he said as he gazed out of the window. "You should know."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means you know how abnormal this is. I get sick of this lovey dovey bullshit. You know the feeling of caring for someone that should be a stranger but has been thrust upon you as something so much more." I was silenced. He was completely right. It was such a foreign feeling.
"I know but if you keep it up like this you'll freak her and her family out." this time he was the silent one. Everyone just sat in the car in complete silence for the rest of the ride.
(Elata POV)
A strong smell of coffee woke me up from my grave of slumber. I looked over to Alec's bed only to see no Alec in it. I got up only to realize that my ankle was as good as new. Gotta love being an angel… or at least a fallen one. I was on my way down the stairs when I heard Paul's voice.
"You'll be fine, trust me. We've all been through the exact same thing." What was he talking about? Who was he talking to? Is he some type of a drug dealer or something?
"Yeah I guess. This is just so warped." Alec's voice replied nervously. Alec? I thought to myself. Alec was experimenting with drugs? What the hell! Was this because of the talk we had about him not being an angel? God what have I done.
I knew I had to figure out what was going on, but on my own. I wasn't going to make a scene. I faked a yawn and came limping down the stairs.
"I really hope you left me some coffee." I said as I reached the bottom of the stairs. "Hey Tarzan." I said as I kissed Paul's cheek and made my way to the coffee machine. Alec had made way too much and there was a mess of mugs, spoons and coffee stains on the counter. "When are mom and Tali getting here?" I asked Alec as I poured some coffee in one of the only clean mugs left.
"They called just a while ago and they still need to finish up some stuff so they'll get here later tonight." He said without looking at me. I took my coffee and sat at the table with them.
"Well that just gives us time to do whatever we-" I looked at Alec and saw someone that wasn't my brother. This guy didn't look 19, he looked 25. He wasn't wearing a shirt which was new, and he had a 6 pack which was even newer. "Have you been experimenting with drugs?!" I said without thinking. Way to blow your cover you moron I thought to myself as I sat there staring at my new brother. He looked nervously at Paul and looked down at his massive coffee mug and replied angrily.
"Are you stupid? That's the last thing Id do." With that he got up and walked out the door. He got taller too. Noticeably taller. I groaned and put my head on the table.
"Paul?" I said with a tired voice.
"Yes?"
"Tell me the truth. What's going on?" there was a moment of silence and he finally said quietly.
"Nothing." and with that he just walked out the door. I wasn't going to let this one get away so easily. I ran after him.
"Hey! You can't just walk away without telling me what's wrong with my brother, you ass hole!" I yelled after him angrily. He turned around to look at me and said.
"You sure healed quickly." Shit, what the hell do I say to that. "and don't call me an ass hole." He began running towards the woods and with no idea what to say, I just stood there.
(Paul POV)
She doesn't know what she's talking about Alec, don't worry about it. Seth thought as we showed the guys what happened. Alec wanted so badly to tell Elata and Rena but we knew Sam would never go for it.
This is my family Sam. These are my sisters. I can't not tell them. Ella already suspects something. Do I really look that different?
Well yeah in this form. Embry thought. Everyone laughed but Alec. He was serious about this.
You can't tell them. If you do then we'll have to tell them about Embry and I. Ella and Rena would never give us a chance if on the second day of knowing each other you tell them that were werewolves. I thought with worry. I didn't want that. I didn't want Elata to hate me. This after Embry tells me not to take things to quickly. Jared didn't tell Kim about us for at least a month!
I think he should tell them. And I think we need to be there when he does it. Bring them to Emily's and Jared, you bring Kim. She and Emily can help with the support. I couldn't believe Sam actually suggested that. I was speechless.
Alec, come with me. I want to show you something. I thought to him.
(Elata POV)
I sat on the beach with my acoustic guitar. I was trying to play lighthouse by The Hush Sound on the guitar but it's a piano song. It was harder than I thought it would be. It took a while but I finally figured away to make it work. I sat on the beach, singing to my awkward sounding song.
"Take what you need while there's time
The city will be earth in a short while
If I'm not mistaken, it spit flames
You and I will escape to the sea side
There is a storm in the distance
The wind breathing warning of it's imminence
There is a lighthouse 500 yards down
You and I will be safe there
There is a girl who haunts that lighthouse
She saved me, I was swimming
So young I almost drowned
Under the water
She sang a story of losing a lover
She calls a warning
Love, you are foolish, you're tired
Your sleepless-ness makes you a liar
The city is burning, the ocean is turning
Our only chance is the lighthouse
Her lover was a sailor
She went and she waited there
The door locked from the outside
Lover never arrived, so she sings there
Soft as a siren
Luring ships off their course, alarming
We went in, we climbed up and looked out
The door locked from the outside
Three ghosts in a lightho-" I heard a rustling sound behind me. I quickly turned around and saw Romeo standing there with another massive wolf like creature.
"You brought a friend I see. I still can't believe I'm talking to an animal." I said as I tried to find the right key again. I was never very good at the guitar. Romeo came and sat next to me as the other creature came and nudged the guitar.
"I was hoping you'd show up though. I need someone to talk to." I said as I smiled at him. I put the guitar down and Romeo put his head on my lap. I began petting his head. "I don't know what's going on with my brother, I like this guy but he won't open up to me. I know I shouldn't like him so soon after the death of my last boyfriend. I called the poor guy an ass hole just cause he didn't help me with my brother. To top that off the stupid council won't tur-" just then the Romeo's friend pounced on me and started growling. I looked around to see if anyone was around. I was completely alone except for these two animals. Romeo then attacked the other creature, rolling, biting, hitting growling. I had to get home. I had to get away. I picked up my guitar and ran back home as fast as I could.
