We got into the vehicles, Jake, Billy and I taking their van, so Billy could come, and the rest of them taking their own cars and headed to First Beach.

Disclaimer: I DOOO NOTTT OWNN TWILIGHT!!

Chapter 14

The trip to First Beach was quick (whether it was because Jake was driving so fast or because it was only a block away… I don't know) and pretty soon we pulled up to the familiar beach. Everyone was there already, they had left first, and the sun was pretty much set.

There appeared to already be an area they used frequently, because there were logs surrounding a pile of charred wood. The boy I remembered as Quil came over and wheeled Billy over to the rest of the group, who by now were sitting on the logs, females in the arms of males. Someone had started a small fire and Jake led me over to a log, partly occupied by Claire, who was waiting for Quil.

I sat down next to Jacob hesitantly; I wanted to be in his arms, but I didn't want to seem too forward. Jake smiled a breath taking smile (literally) and I blushed, because before I knew it, he was scooping me up in his arms, and my head was resting against his shoulder.

"You're not suddenly afraid of me now, are you?" Jake whispered into my ear. I shivered and he chuckled.

"No, I'm not." I said quietly and grinned.

"Oh, so the fact that a werewolf is engulfing you in his arms and is thinking about never letting you go, doesn't bother you?"

I giggled and said, "No, should it?"

"Well, since I've decided that I'm not going to let you go, I suppose not. You should get used to it."

I giggled again.

"What are we going to do here? Just sit and watch the fire?" I asked.

"You make us seem boring!" Jake guffawed.

"Well?" I asked, in mock impatience.

"Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. It's a surprise."

"Hmph." I mumbled and pouted.

"Nope, I'm not telling."

I deepened my pout and said, "Please? I really want to know."

Okay, so you're probably thinking I'm one of those girls who will whine and possibly throw a fit if she doesn't get what she wants, but that's not the case! I just read in a couple magazines and romance novels that guys will totally give in if you pout, so I wanted to try it out. Sue me!

Jake's eyes went into slits, but I could see he was ready to give.

Honestly, what's the big deal?! Why won't he just TELL ME?! I thought.

"You're gunna think it's weird." He mumbled.

My eyebrows rose in disbelief. He looked at my expression and chuckled.

"Okay, so I know you can handle weird, but I really want you to see, or rather hear, for yourself." He said, pouting.

I laughed out loud. Jake pouting was the cutest and funniest thing I had ever seen. I looked around to see if anyone was looking at me strangely, but they were all in their own conversations.

Suddenly I felt a sudden panic well up in me and I began breathing heavily.

Jake noticed and stared at me in horror. "Sarah, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing; j-just not f-feeling very well." I said, teeth chattering. I suddenly felt very cold and I curled up in Jake's lap more; he started rocking me slowly and pressed his lips against the top of my head for 1,2,3,4, 5 seconds.

Jake whispered into my ear, "You're shivering while I'm holding you; it can't be because you're cold. I'll take you home."

"N-no, I'm fine, just a bit cold." I said, still freezing my arse off.

"Sarah, that's the problem. You shouldn't be cold; not when I'm holding you. Or have you forgotten my high tempera-"

Jake was cut off by Emily, who said, "Sarah, honey, can you turn around so I can feel your forehead?"

I could feel my face scrunch up in confusion.

She doesn't honestly think I have a fever?!

But I already knew the answer to that, and the answer to that. I knew she thought I had a fever and I knew that I DID have a fever. I was freezing, grumpy and feeling light-headed.

Lovely, right when I'm meeting his family! Damn it!

Jake turned me around slowly, when I didn't. Emily placed one hand on my forehead, the other on hers.

She sighed and said, "Looks like you have a fever."

The girl named Kim got up, felt my forehead, placed her other hand on Jake's, who moved back a second after she had put it there.

"But you're not as warm as Jake so you're going to live." She said, and skipped back to Jared.

I rolled my eyes and mumbled quietly, so only myself and Jake could hear, "No shit, Sherlock."

Jake chuckled and kissed my hair again. "C'mon let's get you home, so you can get better."

"Jake," Sam said. "Can you come here for a second? Emily will take Sarah to our car, to wait for you."

Hesitantly, Jake nodded, and kissed my forehead, lingering for what seemed like forever (not that I minded.) He stood up, me still in his arms, set me down by Emily, and went over to where Sam was now standing.

Emily smiled at me, and I smiled back. I wondered what had happened to her face though, now that I had a really good look. There were lines down half her face, making it almost unrecognizable to the other half. She helped me up, put her arm around me and we walked to her car.

"D-do you know what-t Sam wants-s J-jake f-for?" I asked, shyly. I really wanted to get home; I now felt like I was going to hurl.

"No, but they won't be long. Are you okay honey, you're looking kind of green." She responded gently.

"I'm feeling a bit nauseous, but I'll be fine. I just really want to leave."

She nodded her head understandingly and put her arm around me in a comforting way. Pretty soon I could see Jake running towards us, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Emily reached into her pockets and pulled out some keys, then handed them to Jake and said to me, "Get better hun. That wasn't much of a bonfire; you're welcome to come to all of them though so you'll see what they're all about next time, don't worry."

I nodded and climbed into the car; Jake looked at me worriedly. "Are you okay Sare?"

"Fine, just feeling a bit sick to my stomach."

"We're almost there, honey."

"Wait, I thought you can't come over without breaking the treaty!" I exclaimed, remembering what he had told me on the phone when I had called him about Kevin.

"That's one of the things Sam was telling me back there. I've been kind of distant since… well for a really long time. I ran away for a year in 2008 due to some…friend troubles. Anyway, you live pretty close to where the Cullen's live and we're not allowed on their property unless invited, so I was worried they might consider your home too close for comfort and Sam would not be very happy if I started a war, so I couldn't go. But he just cleared it up for me, that because of the huge area of forest separating your house from theirs, I should be fine. Also, the whole surprise thing that was going to happen at the bonfire is going to happen tonight at your house, minus the fire and the pack, so it's just you and me."

"Uhh… and my parent's." I said.

"I'll sneak in." He said and winked.

I giggled and then moaned, due to the sudden wave of nausea.

Jake suddenly went serious and felt my forehead.

"Damn temperature." He muttered.

"Not like I can help it." I mumbled.

He looked at me with a horrified face. I looked at him questioningly.

"Sarah, I wasn't talking about your fever. I'm just annoyed that I can't tell if you still have a fever or not because my temperature is too high."

I looked at him sheepishly and said, "Oh."

We pulled into my driveway and I headed to my door, expecting Jake to follow; he didn't.

I looked at him curiously, "What? Aren't you coming?"

"No, I have to return Emily's car but I'll be back later. Keep your window open."

I looked at him in surprise. Then nodded and headed inside, feeling the need to empty my stomach. Dad heard me and gave me some graval, which made me a bit drowsy, but I stayed up so I could wait for Jake. 10 minutes later, I saw someone climb up my deck in the back yard and approach my window; it was Jake.

We embraced shortly and laid down in my bed. The surprise was that he was going to tell me the Quileute legends about werewolves. I fell asleep as Jake was finishing the final story, about the Third wife.

A/N: REALLY REALLY SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING IN A WHILE! I hope you liked the chapter! Also, I figured you all knew the Quileute legends so I didn't have to explain. PLEASE REVIEW!!
