Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight
Hello my lovely readers! Sorry about not updating in a while. I was visiting family, writing chapters for my other story, all that jazz. So thank you to Jasper's girl21, Gabbyclark20, and Danika-chan07 for reviewing and giving me those amazing suggestions. Enjoy this little bundle of joy with words! Eh that sounded better in my head...
The feeling of two warm, muscular arm shifting woke me up in the morning. I groaned and rolled over so I could face Seth. "You're up early." I mumbled, drowsiness coloring my voice.
Seth chuckled and kissed my eyelids. "It's already 9:00"
"So." I replied just as my demanding stomach grumbled... More like shouted.
"C'mon. Let's go see what Mom is making."
I sighed and hesitated. "...Okay." Seth immediately tugged on my hand and pulled me out of bed. The sudden movement made me lose my footing, and sent Seth and I toppling towards the floor.
Seth laughed. "I know not to do that again."
I chuckled with him and walked hand in hand to the kitchen. Sue was, of course, standing in front of a full stove, and Charlie stood next to her.
I had never seen Charlie, but if I looked close enough at him, he kind of looked like Bella in a way. He had the same eyes as Nessie, who I heard had an exact replica of Bella's eyes, and the same shade of brown hair as Bella's but his hair is curly.
"Hello kiddies!" Sue exclaimed as she saw Seth and I walk into her homey kitchen.
"Hey Mom." Seth said, giving her a hug.
"Good morning Sue." I smiled.
Sue glanced at Charlie. "Charlie this is Sammy. Sammy this is Charlie."
Charlie and I stepped forward so we could shake hands. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Swan." We both smiled.
"It's nice to meet you too, and please call me Charlie."
"Hey Sue, do you need any help?" I asked just as Seth and Charlie started talking about some basketball game.
"Sure. Could you please take the bacon off of the pan and put new ones on it? Be careful, the grease tends to jump everywhere."
"Okay." Breakfast with Sue and Charlie was pleasant. Charlie's a sweet guy, and you could clearly see that him and Sue are absolutely crazy for each other. Sometimes Charlie would ask Sue something, she would answer him, and they would get in some trance. They would just stare into their eyes and share murmured "I love you"'s, and "You're so beautiful." It's so sweet!
Just as everyone started cleaning up the kitchen, Leah walked in the door looking so happy that some people might think she's high. "Hello everyone!" She exclaimed, sitting down on one of the kitchen table chairs.
I sat down next her as everyone said their hello's. "So?" I asked.
"So what?" She glanced around the room to see if anyone knew what I was talking about, but they were off in their own little world.
"When do we get to meet this Josh guy?"
Her confused expression deepened. How she looks just like Seth when she does that. Well...the girl version of Seth. "Why?"
I rolled my eyes. "Isn't it obvious? Ever since you imprinted on him-" My explanation was cut off by a loud gasp.
Sue dashed over to the table and sat down on the other side of Leah. "Leah, you imprinted on a boy?"
Leah rolled her eyes with a smile. "Yeah mom of course I did. I'm not a lesbian."
Leah and I laughed at that, but Sue playfully smacked her knee. "You know that's not what I meant! Oh what does he look like? Does he have any siblings? Are they younger? How old is he? What's his name? Is he nice to you?" Her last question made her tone turn from excited and gleeful, to serious and slightly angered.
"Yes mom, he's nice to me." Leah answered all of Sue's quick questions, and Sue got happier and happier with each answer.
I got bored quickly and walked over to where Seth was sitting on the couch. "Hey, baby." He wrapped one of his arms around me as I cuddled into my side.
"What are you watch- oh my gosh your watching glee!" I exclaimed.
Seth chuckled at my reaction. "Yes I am. Though I'm pretty lost. Mind trying to fill me in?"
I shifted in my seat so I could point to the characters on the screen. "Okay that one is Britney. She's like the dumb blond on the show, she's part of the cheerios which is the cheer leading team, and she's gong out with Arty, the guy in the wheel chair. Arty gave her a magic comb because he didn't want her to think that she would do a horrible job at sectionals. But she started to avoid him because she lost his magic comb, but him and that Chinese girl (No racism), I don't know her name, think that she's cheating on him with Mike, the Chinese girl's bot friend. But Arty finds out that she just lost his comb and that's why she's avoiding him. And while all that is happening, Fin and Rachael, The girl and the guy who are staring at each other are having relationship problems because Rachel found out that Finn did it with Santana, the girl who's singing, a year ago." I sucked in a long breath at the end of my rant because I explained the awesomeness of glee on one breath. "You get it now?" Seth burst out laughing.
"What?" I pouted.
"I only heard about half of what you were saying. You lost me at the Chinese girl."
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."
Jake walked in through the back door like he owned the place. "Bonfire in 20 minutes." He announced.
"How can there be a bonfire when it's only like 10 o'clock?" I asked.
Jake hesitated. "Oh yeah. I never thought about that. Well okay then there's a meeting at the baseball clearing in 20 minutes."
"Okay." Seth and I said in unison.
"Will all the wolves be there?" Leah asked. Why wold she want to know if all the wolves- oh! Awww Leah wants to know if Josh will be there.
"Yeah." jake said warily.
"Okay." And with that, Leah trotted off to her room.
"Why is she so happy?" Jake asked.
"What saved you from killing Nessie?" Seth asked.
"Oh. She imprinted."
"No duh." I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"Well aren't you just a smart ass." Jake grinned an evil grin and walked towards me.
"You bet I am." I laughed as we started to play wrestle on the living room floor.
"Don't hurt her!" Seth exclaimed.
"Don't be such a worry wart, Seth." Jake said. I took that advantage and put him in a head lock.
"Aww dammit!" Jake groaned as I gave him the best noogie in the history of noogies.
"Are you okay Sammy?" Seth asked with worry coloring his face.
It took me a while to answer him because I was laughing so hard. Jake's face was priceless. He had a huge pout like a five year old, and the fact that I put him in a headlock made him embarrassed.
"I'm fine Seth. Promise." Unfortunately, Jake used his advantage to twist out of my grasp, grab my ankles, and lift me up in the air. I squealed at the sudden movement and held on to the hem of my shirt to keep it from showing everything.
"What's going on in here?" Leah asked as she walked into the living room.
"Me and Sammy are just playing around, and Seth's worrying." Jake answered.
"Leah help me!" I giggled.
"Hmm..." Leah pursed her lips and tapped her index on her chin. "Nope." She laughed.
"Why?" I wined.
She laughed even harder as she me pout. "Because you ate all of my M&M's."
"What?" I shrieked.
She nodded. "Yep, and you need punishment." She walked over with a smile and started to tickle my exposed stomach.
"Ah!" I squirmed and laughed.
Sue walked in and gasped at the sight before her. "Jacob Black, and Leah Clearwater! Put that poor girl down this instant!"
"Ah sweet relief." I sighed.
"Sammy sweetie are you okay?" Sue asked.
"Yes. Though I think that is the hardest I've laughed in all of my life." I put my hands on my stomach. "And my stomach hurts."
Jake looked down at his watch. "I think we better be heading out now. Bye Sue " He gave her a one-armed hug before he walked back out the back door.
"Bye Mom." Seth and Leah said in unison.
"Later Sue." I gave her a hug and followed Jake.
Once the four of us were inside the forest, we stripped down and fazed. 'Why are we having this bonfire thingy slash meeting?' I thought.
"It's about your destiny and what we're going to do about the Northern Council. The Cullens, the elders, the pack and the imprints are coming. I think that girl that you and Leah found, Trinity, might be a huge help to us. And Embry imprinted on her. She was walking on the same beach as Embry was, and boom. Love at first sight. Anyway, she can see if creatures are human or not, and we can take her to all the places we travel. The mythical creatures aren't going to pop out in front of our faces and say that they're going to help us with our situation. we're, well actually you're going to persuade them to battle with us. I don't know why but you can just...I don't know. You have some power to make people do whatever you ask. It's weird.' Jake thought.
'Maybe that's another power I got.' I shrugged my furry shoulders.
'So Carlisle knows all about the mythical creatures?' Seth asked.
'Yeah. When I was over there yesterday, he asked me how you and Sammy were doing, I told him that I had talked to you recently, but I hadn't seen Sammy in a while. Then I don't know how, but we were suddenly talking about all of the mythical creatures that he knows about and how we might need the...Volturi the help fight with us.'
'Seems like hanging out with the leeches has made you smarter Jake.' Leah teased.
'Oh shut up.' Jake replied.
We were at the clearing, and stopped just outside of the trees to faze back into our human forms. As I walked into the clearing with Seth's arm around my shoulders, everyone started to fill in. Carlisle, Esme and Billy were talking on one side of the circle everyone was forming, Alice, Kim, Emily, Rachel, Rosalie and trinity were talking, Nessie, Clair, and a small girl who I haven't met were also talking about something exciting I guess because of the way their faces brightened, and the wolves were joking around, as usual, with the rest of the Cullens.
"Jakey!" Nessie exclaimed just as the four of us stepped out of the trees.
"Hey kiddo." Jake picked her up and spun her around, making her giggle and squirm. Awww that's precious.
Someone stood up from the group with the wolves. Josh walked over to us with his eyes locked on Leah's and stopped just in front of her. "Leah." He breathed.
"Hi Josh." Leah's cheeks got a shade darker when she said that. Aww Leah's blushing!
I heard Seth snicker behind me and I smacked his chest. "Don't be mean to your sister." I scolded.
"Okay Mom." We both laughed.
"Um Josh this is Seth, my brother, and Sammy, his imprint." Leah introduced us.
"Hello." Seth put his hand out for a hand shake, and josh shook his hand.
"Hey!" I put my hand up for a high five, and josh tentatively put his hand to mine with a confused expression. "Aw c'mon that's not a high five." I wined and he laughed. He gave me a real high five, like the ones that made a 'smack' noise ring through the clearing. "Awesome! See Leah why don't you give high fives like that?"
Leah rolled her eyes and smiled,"Whatever."
I turned my attention back to Josh. "I just wanted to say that you make Leah very happy, and you better not shatter that happiness. To tell you the truth she gets kind of scary when she's angry."
Josh and I laughed while Leah playfully smacked my arm. "Hey!"
"I promise that I'll do whatever it takes to make Leah happy." Josh wrapped one of his arms around Leah's waist, making her blush deepen. Aww cute.
That's when Seth's protective brother side kicked in. He pointed his forefinger at Josh and glared at him. "You better not hurt her. My sister is awesome and I'm not going to see her hurt again. I swear if something happens to her because of her, I'll be seriously pissed." And with that, he pulled me away with him to sit down.
As we were walking away, I turned my head back to mouth 'sorry' to them. "Why were you so mean to him? He seemed like a nice guy."
Seth smiled. "It's my job. Every time the brother meets the sister's girlfriend, he's supposed to give him the whole 'you better not hurt my sister' speech. Though I cut that really short."
I looked back at Leah and Josh to find Leah laughing and Josh looking like she's some goddess. "Bur look at them. Don't tell that's not sweet."
Seth turned around with me and sighed. "Yeah it is I guess. But I just really don't want to see Leah that messed up again. You promise that you won't tell anyone this f I tell you?"
I turned my head so I could stare into Seth's eyes. "I promise Sethie."
He smiled at the name I made for him and pulled me down to sit next to him. We were far enough away from everyone that they wouldn't hear out conversation. "Well before you came here, Mom told me to put Leah's clean clothes in her dresser. So I took the fresh clothes from Mom and started to put them in Leah's draws. Leah was out patrolling, so she didn't see me in her room. As I was putting Leah's clothes away, I found a journal. I knew I shouldn't have, but me being the nosey little brother I am, I read it. It was really depressing, and to tell you the truth... it made me cry a little...But don't tell any of the guys! They'll never let drop it."
I took his hand and sent him a reassuring smile. "You're secret's safe with me."
He kissed me before he began again. "Thanks. Anyway everything she wrote was about how she absolutely hated being in the pack, and just being a wolf. She longed to be a normal girl with lots of friends and a boy friend who would hold her when she cried, take care of her when she's sick, and watch her favorite sappy movies with her. But the one thing that she wrote in there that makes me wary of Josh is that she's scared of love. She said that feels like love just doesn't want her to be with anyone. Before she met Sam, she had another boyfriend, and his name was Lucas. She found out that he'd been cheating on her basically the whole time they were dating, and he broke up with her. Then after the Sam incident, that broke her even more. She was hurting a lot more than she let anyone see. The guys thought she's just a bitch, but I know better. She didn't want to look vulnerable, so she got all mean." He glanced at his sister who was talking with a little girl on Josh's lap. She looked a lot like Josh in her face, but her skin tone was much lighter, she had curly blond hair, and hazel eyes. She must be Callie, Josh's younger sister. "I am glad that she imprinted, but I still have my doubts."
I patted his hand. "I don't have any siblings, but I do see where you're coming from. I think it's sweet that you care for your sister so much, and I bet she loves you just as much as you love her."
He chuckled and turned to look at me. "You should seriously be a councilor or something."
I rolled my eyes and smiled. "Yeah sure."
"Sammy, Seth!" We both looked to the sound of our names being called, and saw Carlisle waving for us to join him, Esme, and Billy.
"C'mon." I jumped up and pulled Seth with me.
We walked over and gave hugs to each of them. "Hey guys."I sat down cross-legged in front of them. "What's up?"
"We were just talking about you." Carlisle answered.
"I hope it was good." I laughed.
"Don't worry honey, it was." Esme said in her motherly voice.
"We were thinking about what the scroll said, and Carlisle suggested that you go meet the Denali's, their extended family in a way." Billy said.
I raised an eyebrow, urging them to explain further. "The leader of that coven, and our friend Eleazar, has the power to see what ability someone has. Since the scroll says that you'll develop multiple powers, we think that you have more powers already than you realize. So would you like to take the trip?" Carlisle asked.
I glanced at Seth. "Can I bring Sethie with me?"
Carlisle smiled and nodded. "Yes you can."
I shrugged. "Sure. It sounds like fun...but I have a question."
"And that is?" Billy urged.
"Well the scroll says that me and my companions are going to fight the Northern Council and it's going to be the largest war in the world, but when is this supposed to happen?"
"Oh yes, I can't believe I didn't tell you. There is only one time in the whole existence of the universe where all of the planets' moons' align, and when that happens, a shimmering light is going to shine on our place of battle." Carlisle explained to me.
"When is that supposed to happen?"
Carlsile shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure. It's not going to happen for a while, but I'll keep a look out."
I nodded slowly. "And when it says that I have to find other mythical creatures, will everyone have to come? I still don't know if we have a game plan yet. but i do know that bringing Trinity, Embry's imprint, will help us. She can see if a person is human or not."
"That would mean a great deal to this expedition. And as of wanting a gmae plan, well that is the whole purpose of this meeting." Carlisle looked towards Edward, and he nodded. He made everyone close to him quiet down, and everyone followed.
Instead of having a large circle, everyone got closer together so we could hear, though that was only a problem for the imprints. Everyone's shoulders were touching, and nobody looked uncomfortable.
I was stuck between Seth and Bella. Bella and I looked to each other and smiled.
Carlisle was the first to speak. "Now it's my understanding that everyone here knows about the scroll." Billy pulled out the scroll, and everyone nodded.
"Sammy asked a very good question that got me thinking, and we need everyone's opinion on this. Sammy asked me when this war with the Northern Council is going to happen. Billy could you please hand me the scroll?" Billy gave carlisle the scroll and he opened it up. Okay you this picture right here? The one with all the planets and those circles in a line?"
Murmured agreements sounded through the circle. "Those are all of the planet's moons' aligned with ours. This is only supposed to happen once in the history of the universe. When this happens, a shimmering light will shine on our place of battle. If I calculated correctly, it's located near the northern polar ice cap, so it's going to be close to enemy turf. Another question that Sammy asked was who are we bringing on this journey. What do you guys think about this?"
Trinity raised her hand from her spot between Embry and Jared. "Yes?" Carlisle nodded for her to speak.
"I think I can help. I can do this this thing where if I look at something or someone, I can see if they're human or not. For example, when I met Sammy, I saw her and found out that she's a werewolf. Just how I know you and your family are vampires."
Carlisle tilted his head to the side. "That's quite intriguing. But yes that will help us a great deal."
"But she might get hurt." Embry argued.
"You know you can always come with us and keep an eye on Trinity, Embry." Seth pointed out, and he immediatly relaxed.
Sam spoke up next. "The wolves have to come. What if the enemy tries to attack us? We need to be on alert at all times."
I saw the downside to that plan, and turned to face my uncle. "But if all of you guys just get up and leave, they can do something to the town or our families. They're probably banking on us doing that, so at least a portion of the wolves have to stay here."
Carlisle pursed his lips and nodded. "That's true. With something like this on our hands, we need to expect the unexpected."
"Well what about the whole mythical creature thing? We still haven't figured out what we're going to do about that." Seth said.
"After the last time I saw you two, I pulled out the files that I had taken with me when I left the Volturi. The creatures that you heard about from folklore legends are far from the real thing. As you already know, fairies travel all around the world in search of plants, chemicals, and anything that would help them in the making of different medicines and potions. They also shape shift into butterflies to hide their existence from humans.
The heather pixies are the fairies' cousins. All they do is play pranks on people, and can shape shift into anything they can imagine.
Dwarfs are the people who are short, but most of the males don't have beards. They look just like those people on that "show little people big planet", (if you're physically challenged in that way at all, please know that I mean no offence to you in anyway. I'm just trying for you to get a visual) and make armor. Though they don't make just any armor. You see, they found this metal that was indestructible, and they stole all of this precious metal before the humans could discover it. They all live underground, and come out to just get supplies. The ones that aren't very fond of the lifestyle that their family has chosen, like the ones on television, blend in with the rest of the humans.
A gargoyle is those statues at the top of large buildings. Although they have intimidating wings, claws, and sharp teeth, but they're actually very kind. The reason why they're always stationed at the top of buildings is to make any dark spirits recede from the area. When the sun rises, they turn into stone, but at night, they're leather like skin is revealed, and they fly through the clouds. As they leave the building, they make a holographic image of themselves to keep up appearances.
An Alphyn is a creature that is a mixture of a wolf and a dragon. It has tufts of fur everywhere, a long thin tongue, a knotted tail, and legs with scales and claws. It can breathe fire from one side of its mouth, and it can also breathe water or ice from the opposing side.
A fae is little fairy like organisms that have light radiating off of them, can see every thought you'll have in the future by sitting on top of your head. They hide in the forest and never some out.
Goblins are very rude, but their skin is made of metal that is virtually indestructible, and no it's not the same as the dwarfs' metal. The only way that you can defeat a goblin is to heat them at a ridiculous temperature. Their blood is made of an acid that is harmful to immortals, but not mortals. As I said, they're extremely rude, and entertain themselves by hiding things, spilling food, and basically causing trouble in general. They usually live in trees, or underground for short periods of time, and they can be found in France." Carlsile took an unneeded breath at the end of his long explanation.
"Woah." Everyone except the Cullens breathed.
Everyone stayed quiet for a moment, and of course I broke it. "So when do we start looking for these things?" I asked.
"I was thinking once we get back from Alaska which is in about two weeks." Carlsile said.
"Is this good timing, Sam, Jacob?" Billy asked his son and brother of sorts.
"Yup." Jake said, popping the"P."
"Yes." Sam nodded.
"So it's settled then. If everyone would like, they are welcome to spend the day at our house, seeing as Esme and Bella made lunch and dinner for all of you." Carlisle offered.
All of the wolves cheered at the mention of Esme's cooking, and stood up so they could follow them out of the clearing.
Seth stood up and held his hand out for me to take. I clutched his hand and pulled myself off of the ground. "You ready?"
"Yes." I smiled.
I was going to write a lot more, but then the chapter would of just been dragging on. If there's any mistakes, I'll fix them later because I'm lazy like that. So about the mythical creatures, I changed them up instead of the same ol' myths, so I don't know if I own them or not... Anyway, if you have any suggestions for the story, I'm all ears! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE.
MaisyCullen13 over and out! =P
P.S. Pictures of the creatures will be up on my facebook shortly. =)
