Story of a bird-kid 16
Mathew's POV
"Come on, we are running late" I told her jumping off the porch and phasing into my wolf for started towards the woods. Shayne, changing into her wolf form and following after me. After about a minute my thoughts started to wander. I thought about telling Billy Black that the Cullen's had held me up by not letting me see Shayne and Shayne suddenly stopped in her tracks. I heard her stop running and turned to see what was wrong. As we changed back to out human forms to talk I saw her glaring at me
"What's wrong Shayne?" I asked her worried about her back bothering her
"You are not going to try and get the Cullen's in trouble." She told me, "They are being kind enough to try and save us from a group of Vampire's that are after us for our unique abilities and I will not tolerate you getting them in trouble by claiming that they wouldn't let you see me when Carlisle said you could see me any time you wanted to. If you are going to lie about it I am turning around and going right back to the Cullen's place."
"How did you know I was thinking about lying about the Cullen's?" I asked her instantly curious.
"I heard you clear as day." She said, "I thought you were telling me you were doing it and you had turned back to your human form. When I looked you were still in your wolf form so I stopped in my tracks and you know the rest."
Can you read my mind now?" I asked her wondering if she had developed a new ability, and she shook her head no. I continued, "I am going to change into my wolf form and I am going to ask you the same thing with you as a human, then I want you to change and think you answer does that sound good?"
"Yes that makes sense." She said and I changed into my wolf form. After about a minute or two she shook her head no and then changed herself.
'Can you hear me now?' I asked her
'Yes I can hear you now.' she said in response
'Are you by any chance part Quileute Indian?'
'I could be but I am not really sure. I think either my mom or dad mentioned being part Indian before I was taken because I had a school project about heritage. Why do you ask?'
'Because we Quileute wolves have the ability to communicate with each other when we are transformed and that is what you appear to be able to do.'
'That is interesting, are you saying I can read the minds of the Quileute werewolves?'
'It appears that way, now come on we need to get going. I promise not to blame the Cullen's for being late. But if we wait any longer the food will most likely be gone.'
With that we took off once again and not long after that we ran out of the woods onto the Quileute reservation and changed back to our normal forms and walked toward the last house on the reservation.
"You ready to meet my pack?" I asked her and walking up onto the porch,
"Ready as I'll ever be." She said starting to look uncomfortable.
"I should warn you," I said, "That Billy Black is in a wheelchair so that you don't stare at him. He is Jacob's dad. Jacob you met earlier at the Cullen's house he was the larger one of the group." With that I went up the stairs and rang the doorbell
"Mathew there you are." Billy said when he answered the door, "What took you so long to get here? Did you get held up on patrol or something? Oh who is this?" He asked when he saw Shayne behind me.
"This is Shayne."I told him moving to the side so he could see her, "She is one of the bird-kids I mentioned earlier that are staying with Cullen's. She is also the one I imprinted on. I heard that Sam had invited Emily and figured I would let her meet some of the pack members, I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all," Billy said, "Well Shayne it is nice to meet you. I am Billy Black and am glad to have you here tonight. Why don't you guys come on in Jacob is about to die of hunger. Or at least he is acting like it. Shayne hope you don't mind fighting for the little bit of food you will eat those kids act like animals at mealtimes."
"I don't mind fighting for food," Shayne said, "But I won't be fighting for a little bit of anything. I will be fighting for quite a large amount of food and I won't be fighting fair either." she finished with a mischievous grin. She walked into the door and we followed Billy to the kitchen me stopping at the door. Sitting at the table was Sam, Seth, Jacob, Leah, Quil, Embry, Paul and Emily. Once Jacob recognized her he stood up and walked over to her.
"Hey Shayne," He said, "I'm pretty sure you don't know any of the others so how about some introductions. You already know me, Sam Seth and Mathew but the others are Leah, Quil, Embry, Paul and Emily." As he said each person's name they acknowledged themselves in some way or other. "I am assuming that Mathew invited you because he heard Sam mention bringing Emily."
"Yes I invited her." I said walking all the way into the kitchen at that time followed by Billy. "Your dad said it was ok if she stayed so save some food for her please. She isn't like us exactly so she won't be able to fight for food."
"That is what you think." She muttered under her breath. "I'm probably tougher then you'll ever be."When she said that everyone started to laugh at her answer, "What is so funny? I know as a fact that I have been through more pain and suffering than any one of you."
"You said you were tougher than Mathew will ever be." Embry said, "But yet you are the scrawniest person in this room."
"What do you mean," Emily asked Shayne, "about having been through more pain and suffering than any of us?"
"What do I mean?" Shayne asked, showing us the tips of her wings unable to extend them any farther without clipping someone or something in the kitchen with them. "True I was born with these, but because of them I was kidnapped at the age of 5, experimented on, and tortured for trying to escape. Not only that, I found out a few days ago when my uncle finally helped me escape that his coworkers had murdered my mom who also had wings. I can show you my back to prove it if you don't believe me" then she started to take off her coat to do just that.
"She is telling the truth." I said, "I saw the scars on her back myself as did Jacob, Sam and Seth. And those wings she showed you are much larger then this room which is why she only showed the tips. Jacob Sam and Seth saw their full span as well. If you don't believe both of us ask Jacob and the other two they should vouch for us."
"He is right," Sam said, "Her back is covered with scars and claw marks and her full wing span is about 16 ft long from tip to tip, she tried to intimidate us with them when we barged in unexpectedly without knocking. The Cullen's are kind of used to it but Shayne and her flock not so much."
"We believe you already," Quil said, "We'll shut up about it if you will all stop trying to prove it to us. I am getting starved can we please eat?"
"Let Emily and Shayne get their food first." Sam said, "You have to remember that they aren't as indestructible as the rest of us."
"Let Emily get her food," Shayne said taking her coat entirely off, hanging it on the back of a chair that Jacob had gone to get for her and then she sat down. "I would more than likely steal just about all the food and you wouldn't get much of anything.
"Right," Embry said, "How much do you weigh?
"I probably weigh around 90 pounds." Shayne said, "But I will still eat more than you I can pretty much guarantee it."

Shayne's POV
"Let Emily get her food," I said taking my coat entirely off, hanging it on the back of a chair that Jacob had gone to get for me and then I sat down. "I would more than likely steal just about all the food and you wouldn't get much of anything.
"Right," Embry said, "How much do you weigh?
"I probably weigh around 90 pounds." I said, "But I will still eat more than you I can pretty much guarantee it."
"How much you want to bet on that." he said staring me down.
"You're on for 50 bucks." I said a newly discovered competitive side kicking in and causing me to stare him down as well. To my surprise Embry looked away first but only after saying
"I'll take that bet". I had a feeling that the two of us would most likely become good friends because we were both really competitive. Emily got her food and moved away from the table. Once she had gotten out of the way we all jumped at the food me and Embry glaring at each other. You know how I mentioned I wouldn't fight fair for food? I was telling the truth. I used my shape shifting ability (paws, claws, talons etc.) to get quite a bit of food and once that food was gone I asked for more.
"Oh my god you weren't lying." Embry said staring at me in amazement and favoring a cut up left hand from where he had gotten in the way of my shape shifting ability; that was after I had downed three more plates of food courtesy of Emily and asked if there was any dessert. As he reached into his pocket and pulled out a wallet Emily sat a huge slice of triple chocolate cake in front of me. Within a matter of 40 seconds I was 50 bucks richer, finished with the slice of cake Emily had given me and asking for another. By the time I finished the second slice of cake even Mathew was staring at me in amazement
"What?" I asked, "I told you guys I ate a lot. I think it has something to do with my ability to shape shift as well as my genetic code. All of my flock members eat a lot of food but I eat more that the 2 oldest together. Thank you for the lovely food and it was nice to meet you all, I should probably get going Alice and Rosalie, are forcing me to go clothing shopping for school tomorrow so I don't want to stay too late."
"I'll walk you home," Mathew said getting up as I was putting my coat on. Glancing at the clock and shocked that it was almost 11:00 I made a snap decision.
"No Mathew," I said, "You can go ahead and stay here. I was going to fly home anyway so I can get home faster."
"At least let me walk you to the door." Mathew told me as I started to walk to the door.
"I'll be perfectly fine." I told him and kept walking, "I'm just going back to the Cullen's place." At that time I reached the door and jumped off of the porch directly to the ground, looked around to make sure no one was nearby that didn't know about my wings and taking a running start I jumped into the air and unfurled my wings. As I jumped into the sky I heard gasping and looking around saw every last person that had been at the Black's house staring at me from the porch. Everyone except Jacob, Seth, Sam and Mathew all of who had already seen my wings earlier that is. Suddenly I felt really hot all of a sudden and shot across the sky trying not to scream my head off. Within seconds I was above the Cullen house and I landed folding in my wings. As I hit the ground flapping my wings gently to try and cool them down the door to the Cullen's home flew open and Max, Angel, Fang, Edward and Jasper were out the door. I was freaking out over what had just happened and suddenly I felt calm.
"Thanks Jasper," Edward said, "Are you ok Shayne?"
"Yes never been better," I said, "Does anyone know what just happened to me?"
"Yes," Max Angel and Fang said at once.
"You have the same ability as Max does." Angel said and Fang nodded in response.
"The ability of supersonic flight," Max said, "Has come in quite handy for me at times when it comes to fighting. Now we can race once you can control it better. So how was dinner with the wolves?"
"It was quite fun actually," I said smiling and thinking about Embry's cut up hand and the numerous others that had gotten in my way. When Angel had read my mind she and Edward both started grinning
"What did the wolves do too you?" Edward asked
"They made the mistake of misjudging me." I said, "They figured that because I am so skinny that I wouldn't eat as much as them. They told me to get my food before they descended on it and I told them that I would end up taking all of it so I discovered a thing for competition and made a bet with Embry I think it was. By the time the meal was done I had eaten more than any of them and was asking for dessert. Now I am no longer misjudged by those specific wolves and am 50 bucks richer. I amazed them when I took off though, they had followed me outside and when I unfurled my wings they all gasped in shock. Then I discovered the ability of supersonic flight and you know the rest."
"Would someone please tell me what is going on?" Max asked, "What did Shayne do to the wolves? I'm kind of in the dark here and don't like it."
"Shayne used her shape shifting ability on them." Edward said, "She used claws, paws, talons and numerous other sharp nails to fight for her food.
