Elena's POV: (Opening thoughts)
I haven't been to La Push beach in such a long time. It brings back memories... holding Damien's hand... strolling down the beach without a care in the world.
We are now all at La Push beach and everyone (besides, Bella, Angela and myself) is suiting up to hit the waves. I'm already shivering... no way am I getting into that water.
"I don't know if it's worth it anymore," Eric says even though he is zipping up to go out.
"We drove all the way out here," Jessica points out and I do understand her point but I am still not joining them.
"So," Angela begins from besides Bella as the others continue to discuss their options. "I keep thinking Eric's going to ask me to prom, and then he just doesn't."
"Well their is a solution," I tell her and then after glancing at Bella we both say to her. "You should ask him."
she chuckles and Bella continues on her own. "Take control. You're a strong, independent woman."
"I am?" Angela asks clearly not seeing it in herself.
"Yes," Both Bella and I say again.
Jessica approaches us and turns her back to Angela.
"Hey, will you do me up?" She asks.
Angela says yes and does up her zipper.
"Bella, Elena," a voice says and Bella and I look up to see Jacob Black once again.
"Jacob!" We both exclaim happy to see him and I try to hide my smirk at how much my twin is happy at seeing him.
"Guys this is Jacob," I tell our friends as Bella seems unable to speak.
"Hey guys," Jake greets them and they return it. "How you doing?"
Jacob sits besides Bella and we both turn to look at him.
"What are you like stalking me, now?" Bella asks him and I roll my eyes at her but she does not see.
I can see these two together.
"You're on my rez remember?" he points out to her. "And so is your twin. Are you two surfing?"
I scoff and so does Bella.
"Absolutely not," I tell him as Bella gives him a sweet. "It would not be pretty."
"Thanks," he agrees.
"You guys should keep Elena and Bella company," Jessica tells the Rez lads. "Elena's date bailed."
Eric seems unhappy at this. "What date?"
Jessica and Angela laugh. "She invited Edward."
"To be polite," I tell them. "That's it."
"I think it's nice she invited him," Angela says and I smile at her in thanks. "Nobody ever does."
"Yeah cause Cullen's a freak," Mike informs us and he and Eric chuckle.
So do the quilette boys and one of them says. "You got that right?"
This peaks my interest and I turn to the boy who spoke.
"Do you know him?" I ask him.
"The Cullen's don't come here," is the blunt answer I recieve and I see Jacob shaking his head from besides Bella and I wonder what the boy means.
A little while later I am walking with Bella and Jacob across the beach while the others have gone surfing. This brings back memories but I do not bring it up. I decide to bring up my earlier queries to Jacob.
"Jacob, what did your friends mean about 'the Cullen's don't come here?' " I ask him and Bella nods.
"I was wondering that as well," she agrees with me.
"You both caught that, huh?" Jacob asks us with a small smile and when we just wait for an answer. "I'm not really supposed to talk about it. It's the same reason that Damien probably never mentioned it to you Elena..."
I just look down. "Yeah probably... but we can keep a secret."
To change the subject he decides to tell us the story.
"Um... really its just like this really scary story," Jake begins but doesn't continue.
"Well we really wanna know," I tell him and Bella nods but does not seem as curious as me.
"Okay," he finally gives in. "Um did you know Quilettes are supposedly descended from wolves.
"What?" Both Bella and I say and she continues impressed. "Like, Wolves?"
"Yeah," he agrees and I smile.
"Like real wolves?" I ask again still in shock.
"Well that's the legend of our tribe," Jacob continues for us and I listen intently.
"Okay," I say still in shock. "So what's the story about the Cullen's?"
"Well," he continues. "There supposedly descended from this, like enemy clan. My great-grandfather the chief, found them hunting on our land. But they claimed to be something different, so we made a treaty with them. If they promised to stay off Quillette lands, then we wouldn't expose what they really are to the palefaces."
This story makes me really confused. "I thought they just moved here."
"Or just moved back," he clarifies.
I nod but before I can say anything we all jump as Angela goes running past, screaming about a snake touching her hand. Eric is then running behind her with the snake in his hand making me shake my head and chuckle.
We all jump but then compose ourselves again.
"Well what are they really?" I ask Jake wanting to know as I know there is something wrong with him.
He laughs. "It's just a story Elena. Come on let's go."
I nod and chuckle but I am still unsure. But he and Bella start walking so I follow.
Angela is still screaming about the snake as we carry on up the beach.
Later on I decide to do some research.
"You're crazy," Bella laughs when I tell her. "It's just a story."
I don't answer as I head up to my room. I sit at my desk and open my laptop. Okay here goes nothing.
I open the search engine and type in quilette legends. From there I find a page that is linked to a website called folktales which they have quilette legends on it. But under it is about a book on quilette legends. There is a store in Port Angeles that has this book.
Note to self. Need to take a trip there as soon as possible.
I write down the address hoping to go there after school soon.
