I was awoken several hours later by someone shaking me when I opened my eyes I saw it was my brother Jacob.
Before I could ask what he was doing in my room, he put his finger to his lips so I knew that he wasn't supposed to be in my room
What is going on Jacob asked?
What do you mean what is going on I asked him, well me Rebecca and Rachel were just informed that we are going with embry and his mom to the Makah reservation for a couple weeks but so that you were staying here with Mom and Dad so how come you don't have to go?
Jake honestly I have no idea why I'm not going too but it could be because mom and dad grounded me yesterday and you know how much I like to visit embry grandparents I told him.
Well did Mom and Dad at least tell you why you were being sent with Embry to stay with his grandparents I asked Jacob?
yes Dad said that one of Mom's old friends is coming down and that she doesn't like kids and they thought it would be better if we went with embry and his mom and that you would be staying with old quil oh yeah that's right young quil is coming with us too Jake stated
I'M STAYING WITH WHO I screamed without thinking and Jake clamped his hand over my mouth but it was already too late our mother had heard me.
Our mom opened the door to find Jake's hand clamped over my mouth and a look of horror on both of our faces and her face turned bright red JACOB EPHRAIM BLACK I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE YOUR SISTER ALONE NOW GO TO YOUR ROOM AND I'LL DEAL WITH YOU IN A MINUTE our mother screamed and Jake ran for my room like the hounds of hell were after him.
I'm not going to stay with old quilt I told my mom of course you aren't honey you know I would never let that happen my mom whispered it's just what we told your brother and sisters now what did Jacob ask you
he asked why I didn't have to go with them I told him I didn't know but it was probably because you and dad grounded me yesterday I told her.
My mother smiled at me and said you are so much like your father I just chuckled because I knew it was true Billy was also able to come up with a cover story just like that.
So was Dad the one that came up with the cover story of why Jake and the others are going with embry to his grandparents house
of course he is my mom laughed and by the way before I forget Harry is also taking Sue Leah and Seth to the Makah reservation to see sue sister and niece Emily just as a precaution my mother stated
Hearing my mom mentioned Emily's name brought back my vision and the severity of the situation and why everybody was being sent away and I couldn't help but shed a tear don't worry everything will be okay and you know me and your father won't let anything happen to you my mom's declared
I just nodded my head and dried my tears good my mom said now Jake and the girls are leaving in about an hour how about after they're gone you come down and have some breakfast and we'll tell you the rest of the plans for tomorrow my mom stated
I just nodded my head and told my mom I was going to take a shower and get ready for the day okay see you in a little bit she said
