After my little fight with Leah, she has been acting differently towards me. Not in a way bad way but in more of an understanding way. She doesn't glare at me whenever I pass by or she doesn't make little rude comments. She's acting civil with me and I like it. I think that she got to know me a little, she didn't get to know the full me but a glimpse.
Days have past and finally, graduation is here. We're all wearing our ugly yellow robes, couldn't we wear something nicer? Anyways, I'm sitting in between Bella and Alice. It was now time for Jessica's speech. And if I do say so myself it came out great. Getting up at the podium, she starts her amazing speech.
"When we ever five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answer were things like astronauts, president, or, in my case, a princess" we laughed. "When we were ten, they asked again. We answered rockstar, cowboys, or in my case, a gold medalist. But now that we're all grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this? Who the hell knows? This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love... a lot. Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of it. Change your mind and change it again because nothing is permeant. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday when they ask what we wanna be, we don't have to guess, we'll know," we all cheered and clapped.
Her speech finished and the principle was calling out our names. One by one going up there to receive our diplomas. When I went up there I was looking for one person, a person who means a lot to me. I looked out there and saw Charlie giving me a huge smile, the Cullens smiling, and Carlisle seemed proud. I frowned slightly he wasn't here. The one person that I wanted to share this day with isn't here. But just as I started to lose hope, I saw him with Seth. All the way in the back, with the biggest smile he can plaster. I gave my biggest brights smile and waved at him. Waving my diploma at him, showing him that I did it. I was so happy to see Sammy there since neither of my parents could be here.
After we were finally declared graduates, we left to see our family. Charlie, the Cullens, Sam, and Seth were all in one big circle. Alice, Jasper, Edward, Bella and I made our way over to them. We were walking but once I was close enough to Sam, I ran to him. Sam picked me up and turned me around both laughing.
"Look Sammy I did it,"I tell him as he places me down. I showed him my diploma and he looked at it.
"Yeah, you did it. I'm so proud of you, Nani. Both parents are too" Sam says as he kissed my forehead.
"You really think so?" I asked staring at him.
"I don't think, I know so," he said smiling.
I didn't realize that the others were watching us. Everyone looked confused, well besides Seth. Oh, right I haven't told them about Sam and I. Well maybe later on tonight. We talked some more and since everyone was there I took the opportunity to ask Sam if I can go over the Cullens house for the party. He wasn't happy that I put him on blast like that but he only agrees because Charlie said that I should go and live a little. I could go but first I had to go back to the Rez because the pack and Emily wanted me to congratulate me. And Emily had a dinner waiting for us. I told the other's goodbye and that I'll see them later. We made it to Emily and everyone tackled me down. Well besides Emily and Leah, those two were in the back watching it all played out. They told me congratulations, we ate, talked, had some fun and opened my presents. I was having the time of my life and even Leah was there to celebrate with us. We were the happy family and nothing can destroy that.
Jake, Quil, Embrey and I let to the Cullen's house. Walking into their house was a little difficult, it was packed with people. My old classmates waved at me, ten minutes with us walking around I finally see Bella. She walks up to us, hugs me and glares at Jake.
"What are you doing here?" She asks Jake.
"You invited me, remember?" Jake tells her and Bella frowns.
"What, my right hook too subtle for you? That was me uninviting you," she says making me laugh.
"Dude again?" I asked Jake laughing. He rolls his eyes and turns to Bella.
"Look, Bella, I'm sorry. About you know, the kiss, and your hand. I'd blame it on the whole inner animal thing, but it was really just me being an ass." Jake says.
"You got that right" I comment. He ignores me, still speaking to Bella.
"I brought you something. Graduation present. I made it myself, Amelia has one as well." Jake says putting Bella's bracelet on her wrist. It was a craved wooded wolf.
"Wow you made this, it's pretty. Thanks. Let me see yours, Em" Bella said turning to me. I showed her mine. Bella's wolf was brown, whereas my wolf was black. Jake said it was meant to be Sam's wolf. A part of them will always be with me no matter where I go. We see Alice coming down the stairs, she stopped halfway. She stares into nothing, damn she's having a vision. And by the looks of it, it wasn't good.
"We'll be right back," I tell the boys as Bella and I made our way to Alice.
"Alice, what did you see?" Bella asked her. Alice looks worried and scared.
"The decision had been made," Alice said.
"You're not going to Seattle?" Bella suggested. Wait when were they going? And why Seattle?
"No, they're coming here," Alice said.
Alice and Bella went to look for the others while I was confused. Who was coming and why was she worried? The boys and I followed them outside. We all went into a little room, surprisedly it fit all of us. I stood in between the boy and Bella, right in front of Carlisle.
"They'll be here in four days" Alice informs us.
"This could turn into a bloodbath," Carlisle says looking at me and then at Edward.
"Who's behind it?" Edward asked Alice.
"I didn't see anyone I recognized. Maybe one" Alice said.
"I know his face. He's a local, Riley Biers. He didn't start this" Edward says. Wait, the missing kid?
"Whoever did it, is staying out of the action," Alice says back at Edward.
"They must be playing with your blind spots in your visions," Carlisle tells Alice.
"Either way the army is coming and there aren't enough to protect the town," Jasper says. Holy shit an army?
"Hold up. What damned army?" Jake says stepping up.
"Newborns, our kind" Carlisle replies looking at me worried.
"What are they after?" Embry asked. Yeah, I don't think I want to know.
"They were passing around Bella's scent, her red blouse," Alice says but stops and looks at me, apologetically. "Also yours, Amelia. Your black sweater was being passed around." My eyes went wide. Why me? I'm not one of importance.
"Those leeches are after Nani," Quil says angrily.
He holds my hand, for what I don't know but it wasn't reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. It was doing the opposite. I was getting more and more worried.
"Why the hell do they want her for? She hasn't done anything to them" Embry says just as angry as Quil.
"They're after Amelia and Bella? What does that mean?" Jake asked.
"It means an ugly fight, with lives lost" Carlisle response. Jake and the boys all shared a look and nodded.
"Alright, we're in," Jake says. Bella shook her head.
"No, you'll get yourself killed. No way" She says, going against the idea of the pack fighting.
"I wasn't asking for permission," Jake says. Bella turned to Edward.
"Edward," she says.
"It means more protection for you and Amelia." Edward states.
"Jacob, do you believe Sam would come to an agreement?" Carlisle asked Jake.
"If it has to do anything with Amelia, he'll do anything to protect her" Embry speaks up. Once again they look confused.
"Why? Don't get me wrong or anything, but why does he care for her?" Jaspers say. The boys all turn to me, I looked at them embarrassed.
"You haven't told them?" Embry asked me.
"What? There's have been other things that kept on popping up. I haven't gotten around on mention Sam's and mine relationship." I say to them but they gave me the look. 'Tell them now' look. I sigh and turn to the others.
"Look, there's a full blow newborn vampire's army out there. Trying to will us all and all you're worried that, is that they don't know about Sammy and I? Really? I'm pretty positive that my explanation can wait for another day. We got more important things to discuss. And don't you dare think about it. I will be the one who tells them, do I make myself clear" I said pointing my finger at the boys. They all scuff and turn around, accepting what I told them. After a long silence, Carlisle spoke up.
"Jasper?"
"They'll give us the numbers. The newborns won't even know that they exist. That'll give them an edge" Jasper says. Carlisle nods.
"We'll need to coordinate" Carlisle states.
"Carlisle. They're going to get hurt" Bella argues back.
"Bella please, they're massive dogs. They can take care of themselves. And plus we'll train, get to know how a newborn fights" I tell her.
"Yeah, fighting newborns require knowledge that Jasper has. You're welcome to join us." Carlisle tells the boys.
"Oh, don't worry they'll be there. Just name the place and time." I tell Carlisle. No way in hell am I going to let them fight unprepared.
"Amelia, you don't know what they're getting themselves into," Bella says making me roll my eyes.
"Hey, look at the bright side of this. Didn't you want them to work together? " I say smiling at her and she frowns.
The next day we, the pack and I, were heading to meet the Cullens in the forest. When I said that we'll be there I didn't mean that I was going. I mean it's 7 am in the morning. Who trains so early anyway? I was riding on Sam's back. The pack were in their wolves forms, they didn't really trust them with their faces. We stopped on a small hill. I watched as Emmett got dropped by Jasper. Bella and Edward came in his car. I waved at them and whisper at Sam that I was going over there. He gave me a growl saying no, but I jumped down from his back and headed over to Bella. As I was going over there I heard several warning growls, telling me to go back. I went to stand next to Bella and Jake came next to us. Bella greeted us and we waited for it to begin.
"Why am I here again? It's not like my mate killed hers. For crying out loud I don't even have a mate and yet she's still after me." I whine to Bella, she just rolls her eyes. I turned back to look at the others, Carlisle was staring at me. Somehow his stare was a little off. It seemed hurt and lonely. My heart ached for him. Edward broke our stare by speaking up.
"They don't trust us enough with their human forms," Edward says tell Carlisle.
"Well, what did you expect? A werewolf trusting a vampire? In what world?" I comment, Edward rolls his eyes at me. Making me smile at him.
"They came, that's what matters. Will you translate?" Carlisle says to Edward and he nods.
"Welcome. Jasper has experience with newborns. He'll teach us how to defeat them."
"They want to know how they're different than us," Edward said.
"They're a great deal stronger than us because their own blood still lingers in their tissues. Our kind is never more physically powerful than our first several months of this life." Carlisle informs them before Jasper steps over. Carlisle glances at me before he turns to Jasper.
"Carlisle right and that's why they're created. A newborn army doesn't need thousands like a human army. But no human army can stand against them. Now, the two most important things to remember are, first, never let them get their arms around you, they'll crush you instantly. And second, never go for the obvious kill. They'll be expecting that, and you will lose. Emmett." Jasper says as Emmett comes close to Jasper.
"Don't hold back," Jaspers said smirking at Emmett.
"Not in my nature," Emmett says cockily.
Emmett sprints toward to Jasper, who surprisingly stood still. Emmett pushed Jasper throwing him to the ground. Jasper got up and ran back to Emmett. Emmett tries to punch Jasper but was unsuccessful. Jasper dodges his attacks, Emmett was getting mad, and then Jasper punches Emmett in the stomach, making him fall on the ground.
"Never lose focus" Jasper smirks. Edward and Carlisle were up next. I turn to Bella.
"Bet you $10 that Carlisle wins" I whisper to her, she looks at me and nods.
Turning back to them I see Edward and Carlisle running toward each other. Edward jumped up as Carlisle slid under him on the dirt. They ran toward one another again, grabbing each other by the shoulders. Carlisle flipped Edward throwing him to the ground. I smiled while Bella frowned. Carlisle tried hitting Edward who was smiling that he couldn't touch him. Edward manages to throw Carlisle on the ground, thinking that he won Edward passed him.
"One more thing" Jasper begins to say as Carlisle dropped Edward on the ground, winning. "Never turn your back on the enemy," Jasper said smirking at Edward. I gave out a victory yell, jumping up and down.
"Ha, he won. Told you he'll win." I tell Bella smiling like an idiot.
I felt so much pride that Carlisle won. I never thought that he'll lose. I saw the others staring at me amused, Carlisle winked at me causing me to blush and the wolves were glaring at me, well besides Seth he looked amused. I looked down embarrassed at my own actions.
Now it was Jasper against Rose. Rose slowly walks up to him and tries to swing at Jasper. Jasper dodges her attacks, he flipped Rose, who landed on her feet. Causing Jasper to win this fight.
Now it was Alice against Jasper, this will be fun to watch. Alice walks up to Jasper, he swings at her which she dodges. Jasper tries to run to her but she cartwheels to the other side. Jasper grabs her by her shoulder and tried to give her a kiss. But she manages to move from it and runs. Jasper looks everywhere for her but he couldn't find her. I look up at the tree right above him, she looks at me and winks. Alice then jumps down landing on his shoulder, she gave him a peck, jumps off and walks away.
Bella was talking to Jake, trying to tell him to back off. I wasn't paying attention to them. I was focusing on Carlisle, he moved with such grace while looking so strong. How is that even possible? I watched him fight against Kellan but sadly loses. But it was alright because every time he went down he came right back up. He wasn't giving up yet.
"Alright we're done here," Edward said coming up to us. Breaking my focus I turn to him and nod. I was about to walk over to the wood before Rose stops me.
"Hey, Amelia wanna come over to the house?" I knew why she was asking. She wanted to clear up things between us. And honestly I was too, I missed them. I turn to Sam, silently asking for permission. Sam shakes his head and I whined. Finally, he nods but gave a warning growl to them.
"Don't worry, I promise she'll be safe with us," Edward says to him. And with that, the wolves left. I turn to Rose and went over to here.
"So how did you guys get there?" I asked her and she smirks. Emmett hunched down telling me to get on.
"I'm so going to regret this," I say as I got on.
Without another word, Emmett starts super running to the house. And never again would I get on his back. We all went to the living room and talked about random things, as we waited for the others to get here.
