A/N: Welcome to my first update of 2010!!!!! :D With a new year comes some plot twists and surprises... Oh, I wonder What will Luna do next?
Hope ya'll wolves are having a great New Year. Share some of that new year love by dropping me a line ;) Or a review would be nice...
Some changes, people. Once school starts I'll be updating less :( Yes, I know. It sucks. But I'm picking up a subject in my last year at school, so my ass is going to be kicked until I catch up 2 years of work as well as do this years work (Kill me now!!!!!) So wish me luck for that. Ya'll will know first when I have a nervous breakdown. But that's only in ten days, so I'll try and write as much as I can before I am sent back to my final year in High School.
Anyway, enough of my stuff. Enjoy Luna's story!
Luna's Point of View
I was on the beach. Which was strange since I was miles away from La Push. I wore a short skirt and a loose top, no shoes. The wind caught the fabric and my long hair, pulling it away from my body. The weather was cold and misty, not a hint of sunlight anywhere. The ocean was swirling, waves pounding the rocks. Everything was quiet. So quiet that I didn't feel at ease. Even the waves seemed to make no sound as they hit the beach.
I looked at the dark water and watched an angel emerge from the depths. His short hair was black from the water and his eyes were red. The smell of the angel was so sweet, so sharp that it burnt my nose. His skin was pale white, like fresh snow or pure granite.
"Neil." I whispered.
Suddenly the clouds burst open and he was standing in a ray of pure sunlight. His skin shone, beautiful like white granite with chips of diamond in it.
"Luna." He said with a smile.
He walked out of the water towards me. For the first time I noticed he only wore a pair of ragged black shorts. It looked great against his pale skin. His body was more defined, his muscles as hard as rocks. The sunlight followed him as he walked over to where I was. I suddenly unfroze and was walking towards him. The water from the ocean brushed against my feet, cool and relaxing.
I walked into Neils arms and he kissed me.
"I love you, Luna." He said, his lips moving to my neck.
Suddenly, I felt his teeth rip into my neck and pain burning through my body. In the distance, I could hear a wolf howling.
I woke up in the middle of the forest. In the distance I could hear pained howling.
This wasn't strange since I had run away from La Push. I was a few miles out of town, somewhere close to Seattle. Next to me, in the grass, was Jake's bike. The Harley Sprint was a beautiful bike. I would have to acquire one for myself. Maybe once I got back to California I'd invest in one. I had crashed here because the area was secluded. I could phase quickly if I needed to. I hadn't grabbed my phone or any money before Jake offered me his bike, so I couldn't try to find a room.
I heard it again. The sound that had woken me up. The dream still spun around in my head as I heard the wolves howling.
"Oh my word! Shut up already!" I yelled.
I sat in the grass, sobbing into my knees. Suddenly I felt something wet against my neck. I turned my head to see a chocolate coloured wolf sitting next to me.
"Hey, Quil." I said, hugging him around the shoulders.
He rumbled softly, like he was telling me everything was going to be okay. I stroked his muzzled like he was an over sized dog. I was sobbing quietly as Quil laid his head in my lap. I could cry into his shoulder, and I smelt the wonderful wolfy smell that was Quil.
We must have been like that for about an hour. When I finally lifted my head again, the clearing was filled with wolves. Sam and Jake were human and Paul was hanging back, also in human form.
"Luna?" Sam said to me.
"Go away." I hissed into Quil's fur.
I felt arms around my body and Sam picked me up.
"Go home." He said to the wolves.
They turned with a last look at me. They ran in different directions, but the main goal being La Push.
"Jake, ride your bike home." Sam said. "Paul will stay with me."
Jake nodded and picked up his Harley. With a quick touch of my hair, he got on the bike and sped away. I shifted closer to Sam, tears till running down my face.
"Send him away." I whispered. "Please, Sam."
Paul heard me and growled.
"Paul." Sam said.
I heard clothes tear and running. Running in the direction of Seattle instead of La Push.
"Oh man." I sobbed as Paul's departure clicked. "I'm such a fuck up."
"You are not a fuck up, Luna." Sam said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he broke up with me after this." I sobbed.
My chest hurt and I was gasping for breath. Sam put me down and I huddled into the grass.
"Oh my... Oh my word!" I gasped, unable to breathe.
"Luna." Sam said, kneeling down next to me. "It's going to be alright."
"Fuck that." I muttered into the grass.
"Nobody will find out. I put an order on Paul and Jake. They won't tell or even think about what happened." Sam said, his fingers brushing my hair.
I sniffed and sat up. "Really?"
"Sure, kid." He said.
I stood up by myself and I began to walk with Sam.
"Do you want to turn into wolf? It'll be quicker." He said.
I looked over my shoulder. "No. Not really."
"Okay." Sam said. "I understand."
He gaze followed mine as we tried to look for the grey wolf who was hidden in the forest. The grey wolf who was in pain.
"Luna!" My aunt said as I walked in the door. "I was so worried!"
I rolled my eyes. "I just needed a couple of hours to get my head on straight."
"Mrs Ateara." Sam said, giving her a look.
She headed outside with Sam. My uncle put a hand on my shoulder before he headed outside. It seemed like now every one in La Push knew my dirty little secret now.
"What? Does every one fucking know now? Even my parents?" I screamed at him.
"Luna." My uncle said, giving me a hug. "It's okay. You're mom and dad don't know."
I sobbed into his shoulder for a few seconds before I pushed him away.
"If you want me, I'll be in my room." I said, rubbing my eyes.
"Sure." He said. "Take all the time you want."
"STOP BEING SO FUCKING UNDERSTANDING!" I yelled. "Scream at me! Kick me out! Ground me! Just fucking well do something!"
"Luna." My uncle said in the same calm tone.
I threw my hands into the air and walked into my room. Once I was inside, I slammed the door behind me. I went to my cupboard and grabbed my bag. I began to pack my stuff into the bag, just throwing it in and not bothering to fold anything.
"Luna?" The voice came from my window.
It was close to three in the morning and I was in a bad mood. I threw my window open.
"What?" I yelled into the night. "I don't wanna know!"
Paul sat on my windowsill. He looked pale and tired.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.
"Like you care." I said, taking a strap and pulling it on my left shoulder. "See ya."
He was suddenly in front of me. He grabbed the bag, ripping it from my shoulder. I slapped him across the face.
"You aren't going any where, Luna." He growled, touching the cheek I had hit.
I picked up my bag again and hit him with it.
"Watch me." I challenged.
I threw my bag out the window and followed. I picked up my bag in one hand and ran for the trees. I just past the first few trees and was hidden from veiw when a large grey wolf stopped me. My body surged with heat and suddenly I wasn't human anymore.
I lunged at Paul's throat. My wolf strength and speed made me feel a little better. Paul and I fought hard until we noticed there were other minds.
Hey, Jake. Quil thought. Twenty bucks says Luna's gonna win.
You wish! Embry said.
Make it thirty. Quil said.
Fuck off, little puppies! I hissed at them.
Paul swiped at my shoulder. I heard the tear of flesh and then felt the sting of pain. I smelt the warm, rusty smell of blood.
Oh, hell no. Don't tell me you just scratched my shoulder. I snarled at Paul. You're going down.
Enough. Sam's alpha tone shot down my spine.
Go away, Sam. I hissed. This is my fight.
I said enough. Sam commanded.
I growled, but kept silent.
Luna, change back. Sam said, his alpha tone gone.
No. I said and began to run.
My mind was full of images of California. The clubs I used to go to, the guys I used to make out with. It all flashed in my mind but the pleasant images were cut short by a stabbing pain in my right hind leg. I howled in pain.
Sorry, Luna. Paul thought. I'm so sorry.
I'm going to KILL you! You stupid fucking dog! I yelled.
Luna, change back to human. Sam said, his tone desperate.
I can't. I hissed back. I'm too fucking angry to.
Paul. Sam said.
Paul faded out first and the rest of the minds followed until all that was left was Sam and my pounding head.
Gosh. I feel like hell. I muttered.
After the day you have had, I'm not surprised. Sam laughed.
I shook my head. Man, I'm so tired.
Flashes of my dream passed through my mind.
Another nightmare? Sam asked.
Yeah. But it's different. I let out a breath, not wanting to talk about my newest terror. I think I'm calm enough now.
I changed back to human. Quil was standing near me with a large towel. I wrapped it around my body. Quil held another towel to my bleeding leg.
"Great." I muttered.
Sam came out of the trees wearing a pair of dirty shorts.
"Let's get her to the house. Dr. Cullen should be here soon." Sam said, picking me up.
Quil kept the pressure on my bleeding leg. He looked at my shoulder and conflict played across his face.
"My shoulder is fine Quil." I said, cradling my arm to my body. "It will be healed in a few moments. I'm fine."
I bit my lips, because my leg was still in pain. Little spikes of pain came from my shoulder, but the pain from my leg was drowning out anything else I might have felt.
"Are you going to kill Paul?" Quil asked as we walked into the house.
"Maybe." I said, keeping my cool.
"I'll get you some clothes." Quil said, heading to my room.
When he came back, he handed me a knee high skirt, some underwear and a one shouldered tank top. With a little help, I quickly got dressed.
I was sitting on the couch. It had been about three minutes after Quil an Sam had brought me in. Jake walked in, followed by a handsome man in a white doctors coat. The man had the palest skin I had ever seen. He was tall and blond. His eyes were the strangest colour. I think they were topaz, but I couldn't be sure. I gagged when I smelt him. He smelt overly sweet and it burnt my nose and throat.
"Hello. I am Doctor Carlisle Cullen." He said to me.
My bottom lip jutted out and I was sure I looked like a sulky child. I crossed my arms, ignoring the pain it cause in my neck and shoulder. Not that I couldn't help it, but I was in the mood to have a long, fat sulk.
"Thanks," Jake said. "I really appreciate you doing this for me. Carlisle, I would like you to meet Luna Ateara."
"Whatever." I said, gazing at a spot on the wall.
"Well, Luna. Jake tells me you have several scratches on your shoulder and a wolf bite on the back of your leg." Doctor Cullen said.
I looked at him, the shock clear on my face. "You... You know about werewolves?"
Quil smiled at me. "He's a vampire, Lu."
I was shocked, looking from face to face. Jake seemed to be smiling and Quil rolled his eyes. Sam's face was carefully blank.
"Now, let's start with the leg." Doctor Cullen said.
"I'm sorry." I said. "Just... Wow. Would you mind not working here?"
"Sure, Miss Ateara." The doctor said.
"Kitchen?" I suggested.
"Sure." The doctor agreed and Sam carried me to the other room.
"Can you please send them away?" I asked the doctor. "Please?"
Sam looked at me, betrayal and shock etched into every inch of his face.
"Let's go." Jake said, pulling the two other wolves out with him. "Fell better, Lunny."
I waved carefully as I turned to face my vampire doctor.
A/N: I bet you didn't see that bomb shell coming!!!! :)
Anyway. The Cullen's are here for a visit. I should mention Scar and them are still in La Push, they just took a break (Read: looking for Luna in Port Angelus) because they don't know about the wolves. And who can resist a good party away from depro Luna and her crazy boyfriend?
