"This is nice." Bella sat down on the cliff next to me. It had been a while since we spent time together, just us. I scooted to the edge and let me feet dangle. "You know, Tiff, I'm really proud of you."
I looked over to her and took a sip of my beer. "Proud of what exactly?" My sister and I had never been close but things have changed since we've moved in with our dad... and got supernatural boyfriends.
"How far you've come. You used to be the biggest bitch I've ever met... parties every weekend, getting wasted constantly. You've made an entire 360." She brushed her auburn hair behind her ear.
"Have you been home yet?" I looked out over the cliffs at the waves. There must be a storm coming in.
"Not yet. Edward won't let me out of his sight, nonetheless out of the house."
"Let's go." I got up and grabbed her hand. "We have every right to go to our house to see our father and these men cannot tell us otherwise."
"Tiff, it's not safe, we can't." She pulled away, almost throwing herself off the cliff in the process.
"You know what, Bella? Do what you want. I haven't seen dad for two days and he's probably scared to death." I made my way down the cliff and to the beach. Bella stumbled behind me, lecturing me about being hard headed the entire time. I walked through the small parking lot, past Embry and Seth who were on protection duty while Jake took Billy to the doctors. "Guys. Stop. I'm fine. I have to go get some tampons. You can wait here." I laughed at the sigh of relief on their faces and got into the rabbit. "You coming?"
Bella reluctantly got in the passenger seat and we sped out of the reservation.
"Daddy!" I called as we walked through the front door.
"Hey girls, what are you doing home so early?" he asked from the living room. We walked in to see Charlie sitting in his usual spot on the couch, beer in hand, the game on tv. "Alice called and said you two were sleeping over there this weekend."
I looked over at Bella who looked just as confused as me. "Yeah, we just needed to grab some... tampons."
"Enough said... have fun girls. I'll see you Sunday night."
I laughed and kissed his head, walking back outside to Jake's car. "Tampon run, eh?" Jake leaned against the hood and shook his head. "I don't think you need those right now."
"Okay... did not need to know that." Bella shook her head and slid into the car.
"We need to get back to the rez. Sam picked up on a sent." Jake helped me into the car and we sped down the road.
...
"So it looks like you were right. It was a female... vampire." Sam nodded at me as we walked into the room. "We almost had it but it just escaped. Cullen was waiting, just missed it to."
"We have to bait it." Embry jumped up. "We all go up on a cliff and just wait. If it wants it bad enough, it'll come and we can get it then."
"That's not a bad idea." I nodded and Jake protested feverishly.
"There is no way I'm putting you in any danger. We'll deal with it when it comes again." Jake shook his head.
I ignored Jake and looked at Bella. "Better tell your man we have a couple's camping trip."
