Moonbeams Don't Make You Sparkle

Chapter 14: Stormy Skies

"You were abandoned?" Was all Bella could say. They nodded.
"But that's what happens," Frank began.
"When Witches give birth." Luna continued.
"By the way, it's funny."
"That our mother's name."
"Would be Uma."
"If it was Japanese."
"Her name would be Horse." They finished, laughing at some unknown joke.
"That was a pretty good story..." Jacob muttered, watching them carefully.
"Why did she name him Soul?" Quil asked, a bit confused.
"Cuz he had a Soul!" Embry hit him upside the head.
"Hey! I didn't realize that she knew she did that!"
"Actually," Luna said.
"She named him Soul," Frank added.
"Because she sucked."
"Out a human soul as."
"He was being born."
"It wasn't until."
"Later that she realized."
"The soul was in him."
"And that he possessed it." They concluded. Quil and Embry high fived each other.
"That is so cool!" Quil said excitedly. Luna and Frank smirked at each other.
"So Bella," Sam addressed the human girl. "Where exactly did you find these two?"
"One." The twins glared at him. "One, not two. We are One."
"Um... Sorry?" Sam turned his attention back to Bella.
"They go to my school." Bella answered.
"So what brings you to Forks?" Jacob asked, as if they would answer the wolves better than the vampires.
"The vampires asked the same thing," they smirked. This comment was met with silence.
"Those blood drinkers just want to have a reason to pick a fight!" Paul said, angered at the thought of them.
"Yeah!" Jared added. "We just want to know out of curiosity."
"Well," the twins said thoughtfully. "It really wouldn't be fair to tell you and not them..."
Everyone watched them impatiently. They got up and walked away. Some of the boys went to follow them. They turned and glared at them a bit.
"We need to discuss this," Luna explained.
"Alone," Frank added. They smiled sweetly and walked into the trees.
"Hm..." Sam watched them go. "I'm not sure how much we can trust them..."
"They said they were Bella's friends," Quil said.
"Yeah, but Bella's friends with blood drinkers," Paul glared slightly at her. Bella averted her eyes.
"And they did tell us things that they didn't tell them," Jacob added.
"Yeah," Embry supported Jacob. "And they seem pretty okay. I mean, they make fun of those blood drinkers."
"But what if they just make fun of us, too?" Jared inquired.
"When I first saw them," Jacob recalled. "They did bark and howl at me..."
"But I think that was just their way of letting you know that they knew things," Bella defended the twins. "I mean, they are really close and don't seem to know how to act around other people properly. I mean, they can be around people without completely standing out. But they don't really know how to interact with people."
"They did say they were loners," Jacob said.
"And they did feel bad about the cold thing," Embry added.
"Yeah!" Quil hastily agreed. "They probably aren't used to doing magic with other people around, especially people who would be affected like that!" Bella wanted to tell them that they also accepted Frank and Luna a lot better than the Cullens. But she knew that if she said this, the werewolves would see the twins as their allies and that wouldn't be accurate, because the twins had said that they aren't allies with anyone, they are just Bella's friends. The fact that they said that was already weird because they weren't really the type of people to have friends other than each other.
"What's with the sitting in the same chair thing?" Quil asked curiously.
"They did say they were inseparable," Jacob said.
"But they are really intimate with each other," Bella explained, as the sky grew dark and stormy. "They really haven't ever been around anyone but each other, and they share a Soul, so they are closer than any other people, I guess."
"It looks like rain," Emily said.
"Do you think we should go find them?" Embry asked eagerly.
"No," Bella said. "When they want to be alone, they are serious about it. And they claimed to have better senses than you and the Cullens."
"They do seem that way," Jacob added. "When we were in the shed talking about bringing them up here, they just suddenly came in at the time we decided that I would ask them, and they simply answered the question without us even having to ask it."
"That's pretty cool," Quil said, smiling.
"Well," Sam said, standing up. "We should get inside if it's going to rain." The boys, Emily, and Bella followed Sam inside, leaving the fire to be put out by the rain that soon came. Bella looked out the window, a bit nervous.
"Where are they?" Embry asked after several minutes had passed.
"Maybe they decided to sit out the rain somewhere," Jared offered. Suddenly, through the rain, Frank and Luna appeared, hand in hand, walking toward the house. Bella let out a relieved sigh. The twins came into the house, dripping wet, smirking. Emily rushed to get them towels, but they didn't take them.
"We love storms..." They smirked, staring out the window at the falling water. Paul opened his mouth to ask them the question they had wandered off to discuss. Sam held a hand up to silence him, shaking his head.
"Leave them be for now."
