Chapter 3

To say I was irritated with John, couldn't express my frustrations enough. We came here to find the dark forest and an evil queen, which I had doubts truly existed, but still it was the purpose. Yet, all we found was a bunch of boys he wanted me to have sex with. I was almost certain there were laws in place against it too.

Barbara always told me let your soul lead you, it knows the way. It was leading me straight to hell at the moment. I missed her so much, I wished she was here for me to talk to.

She had taught me everything about life, love and compassion I knew. A man would care for a beautiful face only to a certain extent, time would change her and the way he thought of her. But when they loved your soul, you found a man who would love you for eternity. Her words of wisdom was still carried in my heart.

As I laid the book on the table, I thought of her once again. 'There is nothing sexier than a woman who reads. She has the world at her finger tips and she can give you the adventure of a lifetime.'

She and I could spend hours discussing a good book. The heroins, the villains and what touched us personally from it. Now, it seemed that part of me had passed when she had. I had no one to share it with. I had no one to share many things with. As the tears escaped me, I fought them back. I brushed away from my eyes casually so they wouldn't be noticed.

"Why is thou so saddened?" John picked up on most of my emotions even though he truly knew little about me.

"I'm not. What sounds good to eat?"

Of course, he was starving but then again, he always was starving. Even though I was mad at him at the moment, I done the right thing and took him to eat. There really wasn't much to choose from in this town. We went to the one restaurant they had.

It had a certain quaint appeal to it. People moved about around us and paid no attention. I liked the fact they didn't because we stood out like crazy, maybe because deep down we both were. We were after all fugitives on the run who needed to keep a low profile. The waitress was kind but a lot more friendlier with John. He seemed to hold a power over women which I sort of understood and didn't at the same time.

When John raised his glass high in the air. I caught his arm in motion. I shook my head no, don't you dare thrown it on the floor. "Can we get a refill please?" The waitress was quick to assist us. Of course she wanted to be near him more than anything.

"Oh shit." Then he came walking in. The officer took note of us. I took note of the exit. "We need to go." I couldn't get my money out fast enough to pay.

"I haven't seen you around here before." Panic struck over my entire body. The way the officer looked at me. He seemed to study us.

"We're just passing through." I turned my face away from him as much as possible. We had to get the hell away from him before he recognized us.

"Wait." We were only steps from the door, steps from freedom on the other side of it. When the officer stopped us. "You look so familiar to me."

"I just have that kind of face."

"Charlie Swan." He stuck his hand out and I had no choice but to take it to socialize with him. It threw me for a loop he too seemed so familiar with just a touch.

"Bella."

"That's my little girl's name. Well was..." The grip he had on my hand only tightened. I pulled it out of his finally. But not before I felt sorrow roll off of him.

"It was nice to meet you. But we really have to go now."

With John there never was a dull moment. I had went from being the most boring person in the world to always trying to keep him out of trouble and being a fugitive too I might add. But there was nothing which could have prepared me for what was about to transpire outside the diner.

When he scrunched up his nose, he let out a growl. "What?" He acted more like a bloodhound than a human man. "What is it?"

"Hell." Was all he would respond. As he went towards a crowd of kids hanging out in the parking lot.

"John." Really I was not certain why I bothered to call his name. As though he would listen to anything I had to say.

The boy he focused on eyes were huge and wild when John shoved him. "Shall slay thee demon."

It was difficult to wedge myself between them. "He is my cousin. He's from Switzerland. I am teaching him our customs. I am really sorry." They bought what I told them or lied to their faces about. Most nodded while others suspected he was different from us. If they only knew just how different.

"No problem." I could have sworn I heard a hissing sound from the boy by the time I got John to back off and back up from them.

"Again, I am really sorry."

Once I got John to the truck. The boy's demeanor softened, he had a slight grin on his face. "I'm Edward Cullen.

"Bella."

"It's very nice to meet you, Bella."

The smooth tone of his voice, it was mesmerizing, almost trans like. I had to look away from his beautiful face. "You too."

It was where I left the conversation. I had taken a glance or two in the rear view mirror at him on the way out of the parking lot. But it was no time to doddle. It was another reason to get the hell out of here before someone else noticed us.

When I looked over at John he was staring back at me. "What is the plan? What is our next move?"

"Thou needs to entice the young lads."

"You mean be sexy. I'm not sexy and probably never will be."

It was what we worked on. We found an area on the beach no one occupied. When John was trying to teach me sex appeal, I knew I was in trouble. He grabbed on to his buffed out chest to show it pushed up. He gave me a wink of the eye as his hand slipped down his body to his hip. While the other was extended out as we swung his ass back and forth as he walked. "Thee try this."

As ridiculous as I felt, I put my hand on my hip, the other I made a fist as raised it up to my shoulders. The hardest part was trying to mimic his sway, he done it with finesse, my ass felt like I was shaking up a paint can to get to to move that way.

"Thou looks more like the Christmas goose having a stroke." Then John busted out in laughter. So much, he couldn't catch his breath.

"Well, you don't have to be mean about it."

"My apologies, I was trying to spare thou's feelings."

"If you thought it is sparing my feelings, you suck at it. Fuck." It was an outburst of my frustrations of the bad situation I had gotten myself in. Which now, I reminded myself almost hourly, I caused this mess.

"Ye rhymed suck fuck. Thou shall rhyme more? It is the meaning?"

"Can we just move on already." When it came to other changes John wanted for me to make. It was when I put my foot down. "No. Not happening."

"Ladies do not wear trousers. Display more ankle."

First off, I was not wearing a dress. Secondly, John had old ways in heart but girls shown a lot more than their ankles nowadays. "Thou adorn short trousers."

If a pair of denim shorts made him happy, then so be it. Once we had this thing settled, I wanted to explore the town a bit. See what it had to offer. Or perhaps, I needed to get my mind off all the negative reality I had to face on this trip. All the hell I caused myself even.

The long walk we went on helped clear my mind. When a bird flew over and made a loud sound, it startled me, I made a gasp. "No worries my Queen. I will always protect thee."

"Why do you keep calling me your Queen?"

"Look, we are on the right trail." Of course John ignored my question. But he could spot things from a distance I couldn't see up close. It was a trail of footprints. They were obviously made by a large animal but what kind?

We followed them until we came to a cliff. There were no more to be found. It appeared they jumped off of it. But that was impossible, they would have plunged to their death.

"We should go back now."

The uneasy feeling I received from John. Told me it was best if we left too. He took long strides through the woods. I practically ran to keep up with him. "Shit." It wasn't until I say it he stopped.

"This is my favorite shirt." I caught my comfy flannel on a brier patch of thrones. With one pull he ripped the side of it off and left it hanging on the thrones. "Great." Half of it was gone.

"We should keep moving." He wasn't big on the sympathetic department either. He pushed me to keep up with him. Only he placed his arm in front of me just before we reached the clearing. He stopped, closed his eyes.

"What?"

He brought his fingers up to my lips and smooched them together. Then closed his eyes once again to listen I would presume. Once his hand was a away from my mouth, I followed along after him.

"Thou should begin the hunt before morn."

"Begin the hunt?"

My question was answered when they came in sight. The group of them on the beach. They had a fire going, playing in the water and some set around together.

Tonight would mark the beginning of the hunt, as he called it. It would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt if I was crazy, John was crazy, they were crazy. Or fucking all us of were a bit on the fucked bat shit crazy side.

~~~~NAUGHTY WOLVES~~~~NAUGHTY WOLVES~~~~NAUGHTY WOLVES~~~~NAUGHTY WOLVES~~~~NAUGHTY WOLVES~~~~

It seemed like a normal get together when we pulled up. Although everyone we walked by, eyed us until we were out of sight. We sure didn't belong here and they made it known too.

"Why the hell are you here?"

"I..." Before I could get it out. Jacob came to meet us.

"I invited them. They are my guest. Be nice Leah."

She scoffed as she hit me in the shoulder with her body when she left. "Whatever."

"Let me introduce you to the gang." Jacob was kind. In someways I hoped it was him I was here to search for. He treated us as one of them. We met his father too.

"Jacob, bring your friends to story time."

"Okay, I will Dad. But first I am grilling you some dinner. Make yourselves at home. I won't be gone long." The trays of meat he was going to grill. Looked like he was going to feed an army of people.

John and I wandered around. Not many people spoke to us after Jacob was gone. But I had felt like an outsider my entire life, it was nothing new to me.

John motioned his head to those sitting around the fire. "Find thou's knight. Or possibly your female mate."

"Who?" With a point of his finger, John thought I might have a lesbian moment coming soon. "Oh, hell no. Not Leah."

"Perhaps. She is one of them." The smirk on John's face needed slapped off. If he thought I would hookup with Leah. "Just mingle with their spirits. Thee needs to know which one. " With a shove from him, I was off to find my great knight, boy child. Or girl, I guessed.

"Hey." I grabbed a stick to poke the fire like she was and set by her. She was quick up on her feet.

"Don't sit by me. I don't like you." Immediately Leah threw the stick she poked the fire with in the pit. She said some other things which weren't as nice as that as she walked away.

"Well, okay." Leah went to the maybe list. Maybe when it was a cold day in hell list.

"Don't let Leah upset you. She treats everyone like that. Mom says she is just going through a faze and to ignore it."

"Mom?"

"She's my sister. I'm Seth."

He seemed like a sweet boy. We visited for a bit and he asked me if I wanted to go for a walk with him. "I'm just curious. How old are you?"

"Nineteen." At least there weren't any laws to break with Seth. He was past the legal age. Yet he appeared more as a child.

You would have thought, I'd known better than to follow John's advice. But fuck no. I tried to get Seth's attention by walking ahead of him with my hand on my hip and the other held out proudly. For some reason, I had a lot of trouble with the sway part.

"Do you have a cramp or something?"

With a long sigh let out. "No." When I turned around to face my shame, I was concerned. "Are you alright?" His dark skin glistened in the light the moon cast. He was sweating like hell.

"I'm fine."

This was more of a challenge than I had anticipated. When he almost ran to the woods. He wanted me to chase after him. So I gave it a shot. "Seth." I called his name in the darkness.

His head popped out from the side of a tree. "Maybe I should go home."

"No. Stay." I put my hands on the same tree he hid behind and showed him my face around it as well.

"Seriously, Bella. It's not a good time."

Damn, I was so terrible at this. He wanted to go already, I wasn't showing him a good enough time. I had no experience with men. But I would play this game out with him. I would show him I was a sexy woman too.

"Oh, Seth." I grabbed the lowest hanging branch to hold on to. I brought my foot up proudly and wiggled my ankle in front of him. His eyes grown larger as my foot got closer to his face. Perhaps, John was on to something. Maybe ankles got men off. It worked like a charm too, until the damn branch broke. I hit the ground hard.

"Are you okay? Bella?"

The only thing hurt, was my pride. "I feel so stupid."

"I do shit like this all the time. Don't feel bad." Seth offered his hand to help me up. "Let's finish our walk. I felt really strange and hot before. I feel better now." The only thing I heard him say, he felt hot. I made him hot. It helped a little for my ego.

The more we talked, I felt comfortable with him. But it was a comfort of an old shoe, not the sexy stiletto I needed to become. If we were going to get anywhere with this, it had to be done. I needed to turn myself into a sex kitten, ready to pounce.

There were steamy sex scenes I had read before. This scenario wasn't in any of them. I wasn't exactly the kind of woman who had seen a lot of action in my time. Very little in fact. Most of it I would have gotten more out of the shower massager than my lover provided.

However, these day I done plenty of things I hadn't in the past. While I let my mind go free. I thought of a dark haired man who rode up on the beach on a white horse, my hero, my lover. His tanned muscular body shone beautifully in the moonlight. My tongue outlined my lips with a long, lingering lick at just the sight of him. Oh yeah, this was working for me now. As my clit throbbed against my jean shorts.

It sounded simple to get Seth to feel what was going on down below with me. Only he was a challenge. As soon as I would get close to him, Seth would move all over the place. Perhaps he wanted me to chase him again? Perhaps it was part of his mater plan to get me to submit to him? Perhaps he just needed a little more encouragement?

When he finally stood still long enough. I made my move. The moans were low coming from him as my hand slid slowly down his body to his already stiff cock. Now, he was feeling it too. With my palm I pushed against it in a circular motion. Our tongues continued to slowly explore each other's mouths.

"Uh oh." Seth broke away from our kiss and looked down. The wet spot came through his pants within seconds. I pulled my hand away to wipe away the wetness off on my shorts. Seth went to the, it sure as hell was not him list.

He took a couple of steps back from me. Unsure of what to say or what should be done from here, I just stood there as well. He just stood there along with me. Now I was trying to look at anything other than directly at him. Should I walk away from him? Tell him it happens? Or just run like hell? But, I didn't have to do any of those things.

"I gotta go. My Mom's calling me. It's past my bed time."

"Bed time?" The shock of his statement left me speechless and for good reason too.

"I might have lied about how old I am." The last words he spoke hit me like a ton of bricks. As he trotted down the beach he turned around and yelled at me. "Do you want to do this again tomorrow night?"

"Hell, no."

"Well, it was worth a shot. Bye Bella and thanks."

Although Seth didn't act upset about what just occurred. I was devastated from it. "Holy shit. Jesus Christ." In the sand I plopped my butt down. The waves eventually caught up to where I set in shock, the cold water washed up over my feet. There was no way to wash away what had transpired here tonight. "What the hell have I done?" It was a rhetorical type question. I knew exactly all the wrong things I had done in the past few days. The list just grew longer by the minute. "I'll just turn myself in. Maybe they will go easy on me because I am not of a sound mind. Any one can see I went bat shit crazy. I..."

"Is he thou's knight?" John made me jump out of my skin. I had no idea he was around we he came up on me. Or maybe I was so deep in thought, I wouldn't have heard a freight train coming right at me.

"I'm sure it's not Seth."

"How does thou know for certain? Did thee put him to the test?"

"This is so wrong. I'm done with this shit John. You go back to the hospital and I go repent my sins."

"Thee must not give up. If thou does, the world as thou knows it, will stop existing."

"Fuck my life, I hate this shit."

"I beg of thee. Will thine explain this fuck thou speaks of fairly often?"

"Fine." I took out my cellphone and showed him a little video which would explain fuck well.

"Thee likes fuck." On the way back to the hotel, John carefully watched the threesome while he drooled. The glow of the phone went until the battery died. Then he sang it the rest of the way.

"Fuck."

"Fuck."

"Fuck."

"Fuck."

"Fuck."

"Fuck."

"I should have never explained to you what that meant."
