Disclaimer-I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT
Chapter 37
I woke up Saturday morning and look out the window. It had rained the night before, and everything is covered in dew drops. The world seems to be glistening.
"Morning Cleo," Edward smiles. I smile back at him.
"Morning!" I say rolling out of bed. I look over to my desk. My backpack is still sitting there, untouched. I smile; today was the day that I was spending with Alexis, Mallory, Seth, and Jacob. Maybe Leah would come, but I don't know. I run a brush through my hair. I look at my phone. I have a full charge, "So, what are you going to do today?" I ask Edward as I look through my dresser for something to wear.
"I'm going hunting with Carlisle,"
"Ah ha!" I say victoriously pulling out a t-shirt. I have found a t-shirt that Mallory had given me when we first met in sixth grade. It has two baby wolves howling at the moon on it! I figure it is perfect for today.
"What did you find?" Edward asks me appearing at my side. I show him the t-shirt, and smile. He laughs gingerly. I walk into the bathroom and slip the shirt and a pair of faded jeans on.
"I'm starving," I say walking out of the bathroom.
"What are we waiting for then?" Edward asks. I smile. I walk over to Edward, "Shall we?" Edward asks holding his hand out. I put my hand in his. I am starting to get used to his coldness.
As we enter the kitchen Alexis is sitting at the table.
"I want a waffle," She says looking at me.
"So go make one!" I say walking towards the freezer as Edward sits down at the table. I take out the box of Special K Red Berry Waffles. I want one, but I don't plan on making Leck one.
"Can't you make me one?" She complains. She givea me puppy dog eyes.
"Ugh, fine," I say taking two waffles out, and putting them in the toaster. I sit down at the table next to Edward, "So what's on the agenda?" I ask Alexis. She smiles broadly.
"If I told you that would ruin the fun!" She smiles.
We ate breakfast in silence. No one really had anything to say, or wanted to say.
"I'll see you tonight!" I say kissing Edward's cheek. I get into Alexis's car, where she is already waiting. I wave to Edward as we drive away, "So," I say turning to Alexis, "Where in the world are we going?"
"We are going . . . into the woods!" She booms, "That's why Edward didn't seem too happy when you left," She smiles.
"Must you torture him?"
"What do you think," She smiles, "Aren't ya gonna ask what we are going to do in the woods?"
"I'm almost afraid to ask," I say eying Lecky skeptically. Her smile got even wider.
"We are going to play," She did a drum roll on the steering wheel, "Hide and seek, and we are going to run!"
"Hide and seek?"
"Yes! Why not? Besides, you've never played hide and seek in the woods, and you've never played with a bunch of werewolves!" Alexis seems very excited. Today seems like it will be a good day!
As we arrive at where-ever we are I see everyone sitting in the back of Jacob's truck. Jacob has his arm around Mallory. Seth is leaning against the side of the truck. I see Leah too. She is sitting on the edge of the trucks back. Seth smiles as Alexis runs over to him. A wind blows around me blowing my hair into my face. I walk over to where everyone is sitting.
"Hey Cleo!" Mallory says waving at me, "What took you so long?"
"Hey!" Alexis yells, "Don't make fun of my driving!" Everyone starts to laugh except Mallory, and I. We are used to her outrageous stupid comments.
"Come on let's get going," Seth says walking into the woods. They all follow him, and leave me standing there.
"Thanks guys!" I yell.
"They don't have any patients," A voice says. I jump, and then sigh. It's Leah.
"Yeah, I noticed that," I smile.
"We better hurry up if we don't want to be it," She smiles. We both walk into the woods. Leah sticks her hands into her pockets. She seems to be following some sort of path, but I have no clue what kind of path that is, "Damn it guys!" She yells, "You all suck!"
"What's wrong?" I ask standing next to her.
"They are already hiding," She says in an annoyed tone, "Now we have to find them,"
"Well it shouldn't be that hard, should it?" I ask confused.
"If this was regular hide and seek it would be no problem. But in this hide and seek, everywhere, and anywhere is hiding space,"
"But they can't have gone that far could they?"
"They phased. Ugh! One minute please," Leah walks behind a large tree. A few moments later she walks out from behind the tree. Only now, she's a wolf. She kneels down. I have a feeling she wants me to get on.
As we run through the forest the wind picks up. All of a sudden Leah stops suddenly. Me, not expecting this abrupt stop, well, fell off. Leah barks loudly, and out from behind a large tree, walks a white wolf with black paws, and a black "mask". It's Alexis. She walks behind the tree, and comes back, a human.
"Seth you can come out!" Alexis yells. Seth jumps down from a tree branch.
We find Mallory and Jacob a few minutes later. They were hiding in the branches of a very large pine. I am then informed by Mallory that we were going to run. I have always loved running so this would be fun for me.
"Okay," Jake says, "The first person to reach the river, wins!" He says with a smile. I have a feeling I wasn't going to win. They are probably all going to phase, and I would be stuck running like a normal person.
"ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO!" Alexis yells louder than usual. We all take off running. I am faster than them on foot, but not on paw. They all rush past me. The only thing I see is a blur of fur. I continue to run as fast as I can, but then I trip on a branch. Only this branch was a branch from a thorn bush. Unfortunately I get a long cut up the side of my left leg. Getting up is a tad of an issue, considering my leg hurts, but that is where my good hand is. By the time I get up I am sure everyone has already reached the river.
"Well, here we are again. This same situation, only this time, none of your little friends can help you," a voice says. I look up and see Bella smiling.
