'You're back late' Seth called over from the kitchen I flipped him off, trying not to smile, and went to my room,
'Kids' he laughed as I walked way I turned and smiled at him shaking my head.
I couldn't sleep, everything was spinning around my head, then it dawned on me the Cullens were vampires, Bella was going out with a Vampire yet Jake would do anything for her, surely they were sworn enemies. I lay there thinking everything over. I could hear the wind whipping through the woods, like the forest was sighing, I thought of the truck ride with Paul I smiled. I couldn't remember falling asleep though when I woke up I felt that pain in my chest.
I stretched when I stood up, I just had my P.J's on some shorts and a long baggy T-shirt, I walked out rubbing my yes, Sue was out, I didn't know where Seth was. I turned the radio on and heated the frying pan up. I sat down letting the egg and bacon cook. I pulled my phone out and looked though my messages.
Hope You are okay, let us know when you are coming back, we are missing and worried about you. I was confused it was from my Aunt and Uncle, I read it again I put my phone down and moved the bacon around in the fryer, I put some toast on and hummed along with the radio, I heard the front door close, I looked around, it was Seth and Quill, I felt the heat rise in my face, I pulled my top down slightly. I felt startled.
'Morning' Quill said in his deep smooth tone, raising his eyebrow his eyes flicking up and down, Seth just hit into him hard leaning near him.
'Not worth it' Seth said walking over to me and looked at what I was cooking over my soulder
'You're up early', I said to them yawning nudging Seth out of the way before he took some bacon, blowing it as it was still hot
'Yeah well someone needs to make sure the those leeches are staying away from us' Quill said slightly smirking, it had never dawned on me how all of this was the normal for them.
'You're so modest' I said turning and stirring my breakfast, I could feel them looking at me, I piled it on my plate and sat down, they were eyeing up my plate.
'Get your own' I said moving it away from them Seth just pouted I looked up at them as I was eating
'Let's go to the diner' Quill said tapping Seths arm he nodded
'See ya!' I called back as they left. Hey turned and nodded at me i waved to them, tucking into my yummy breakfast.
I didn't know that Paul was paroling around as well, he wasn't happy at all when Quill let his thought guard down, so that Paul could see all of his thoughts and what he had seen this morning. Paul saw everything as Seth and Quill were padding along to the diner for some food, Quill sensed Paul but it was too late as Paul launched himself into the side of Quill knocking him down, Seth couldn't stop the fight, Seth topped and called for Jake and the others to help, Jake couldn't stop the fight he tried shouting, getting involved but Paul was just seeing red Quill had pushed his luck he should have know better to mess with an imprint, and not to piss Paul off, there was snapping, snarling, name calling and claws. Quill was nearly out of energy where as Paul was just getting started. Sam had to alpha order for them to both stop, they couldn't disobey, if they did they were out of the pack, Quill just lay there panting letting himself slowly heal, Paul was still snapping and snarling down at him almost fixed to the spot where Sam had ordered him.
'Paul you're fucking mental!' Jared shouted at him as he helped Quill get up and checked him over, Jake didn't even look at Paul he was known to have a temper, but to turn on a pack brother even over an imprint, this was bad. Sam just shook his head and cussed at them both for starting it, Sam was worried for Lily.
'Stay the hell away from her' Paul roared at Quill as he phased back raging still
'She hasn't done anything wrong and neither have I' Quill said checking himself over
'You know nothing, stay away from her' Paul shouted back feeling the anger rise in him again
'Paul quit it! you could have killed him' Sam yelled making Paul fall silent
'You're mental' Quill said bitterly
'The FUCK you...' Paul couldn't finish his sentence he had phased he was so close to breaking the order literally shaking all over
'Quill your dead' Sam said with a slight smirk he needed to be taught a lesson and not to fuck with Paul, Sam dropped the order as Paul leapt over to Quill.
Round 2
I washed up and all the counter tops and got dressed I looked at the shopping list Sue had made, I could get this from the local La Push shop I found my bag and emptied it all out. The blanket still had the faint smell of Paul still on it. I smiled as I placed it on my bed. I pulled my shoes on and got the list with the bag over my shoulder. I locked the door behind me I let my mind wander as I went to the shop. It was still quite windy, I pulled my hair in to a bun so it didn't go in my face, I could hear some growling faintly, was it because I was thinking of Paul, I brushed the thought aside and carried on. I got to the shop I got a basket and smiled and said hello to the man behind the counter. There were a few people milling around and talking, it was a small, dusty old shop, it sold most things, the natives never really left the reservation so it needed to provide as much as possible, fishing gear to meat to matches. I placed my basket on the counter he started to put it though, I went around and filled up the other basket with the rest of the list, I was choosing some snacks where two women were chatting to each other,
'I heard it was those Cullens' one said looking around
'Wouldn't surprise me they don't care about anyone they make me sick' the other lady said with a disgusted look, they were in their late 40's
'Poor girl, it isn't fair on her parents' the other lady said as they moved away, I took my other basket and filled my bag up with the shopping, I thanked the man and paid him. I clipped it around my waist and made my way back to sues, I was moving slower than before I didn't expect the bag to be as heavy as it was.
I made my way home, I unlocked the door, the words the ladies had said still spinning around my head, making me think. I un-clipped the bag and placed it on the kitchen table, I stretched my shoulders and neck, I started to unpack the shopping. I checked I had got everything, I started putting it all away putting the old stuff at the front, I had the radio on in the background, I had left the front door open. I reached down to get the pasta, I screamed out and retracted my hand quickly when I saw the, Light and dark drown snake with the rattle on the end, it was a western rattle snake, I knew these were poisonous, I heard it rattle it's tale this was not good, I slowly made my way around it, I climbed up on to the work top, I pulled my phone out and called Seth, he picked up I could hear the growling and snarling on the phone, my heart started to best fast.
'Lil?' he seemed to shout down the phone
'Seth are you okay?' I said suddenly worried, I took my eyes off the snake,
'Yeah everything is fine Lily, don't worry' the growling seemed to calm down as he spoke
'Why did you call? Are you okay?' he asked I looked to where the snake had been it was gone, I looked down and saw it trying to climb up the cupboard where my legs were hanging down, I screamed down the phone as I saw it, it's tale rattled loudly.
'Fuck, Seth there's a fucking Rattle in the house i can't get away' I said trying to move away from it I was making it angry i pulled my legs up i knocked into what was on the couter
'Calm down, it's okay i'll be there' he said sounding worried he hung up, that wasn't what I wanted.
I managed to move away for it, it struck out trying to get me and coming for me, I couldn't help but freak out, I tried to be calm, I couldn't leave, I needed to know where it was so I could make sure it was out of the house, I closed the front door so another one couldn't get in. I climbed up the stairs hoping I could keep an eye on it, it seemed like ages for Seth to get here.
The door opened, I was so pleased Seth was here, I was surprised to see it was Paul, the snake rattled and went for him.
'Paul' I shouted out, he simply reached out for the snake caught it behind the head, and threw it out of the door, I just sat there looking at him in disbelief.
'Are you okay?' he asked he started to reach out for me but took his hand back walking over to me I nodded
'How did you do that?' I asked standing up I was on the stairs a shiver ran through my body thinking about it, we were closer in height now
'They won't hurt you' he said laughing
'Maybe not you' I said smiling he just raised his eyebrow at me
'Thank you, sorry you had to come out here, i thought Seth was coming' I said to him
'Any time yeah Seth got caught up with something' he said he looked different
'Paul what's wrong?' I asked worried about him and for
'Nothing' he said roughly. I walked down the steps and to where I had been putting the stuff away, I checked to see if there was another one.
'You're safe it has gone' he said leaning on the chair
'Well I don't know that' I said looking under the chairs and tables
'Can I get you a drink?' I asked him once i knew it was clear
'Got any beer?' he asked I walked over to the fridge, I pulled out a can I passed it to him.
'Thanks' he said opening it and started to down it
'Thirsty?' I asked him laughing, he sat down in the chair leaning one arm on the table drinking his beer, I carried on putting the things away while we chatted i felt his eyes on me all the time.
'I heard these women talking about the Cullens' I said reaching up to put some Flour away I was on tiptoe.
'Really what did they say?' he asked taking the flour from me as e stood behind me so close to me and put it away
'thanks, they were saying how' I started, then i ended up just watching him how easy it was for him to do anything, he closed the door and looked at me. I snapped back to reality
'And they were saying about some girl' I said almost forgetting what I was saying he put his arm back down and placed it on the counter just behind me like his arm was around me. I took a second to reply to him.
'Apparently because of the Cullens some girl has got hurt, they don't actually hurt humans do they?' I said worried looking at him a small smile appearing on his face, he ran his hand through the long floppy part of is hair.
'No they aren't allowed to harm any humans here on the Rez or in forks, because if they do, that breaks the treaty, meaning they are free game for us' he said it was so cruel and nasty.
'But you wouldn't kill them would you?' I asked moving from him slightly
'Hell yeah blood suckers, because of them we are what we are, they have murdered and transformed hundreds over their horrible existence' he said as though I was stupid
'Oh' I didn't know what else to say
'Look they hate us and would love nothing more than to rip us apart' he said looking at me as tough I should know all of this.
'Why it wouldn't achieve anything' I said
'Look this is our world, the real world, stop seeing the positive and good in everything and one, it is kill or be killed in our work. Like it was you or snake and you weren't going to let it be you' he started
'I wouldn't want the snake to get killed though' I butted in
'Lily this is the way it has always been' he said taking another drink of his beer I just sighed and looked at the remaining shopping he placed his hand on my shoulder, his hand was burning hot, it felt like my body was relaxing.
'I'm sorry' he said looking genuine
'What for?' I asked him
'Dragging you in all this' he said looking at me clenching his jaw
'you haven't' I said giving him a small smile, I reached out and put the tins away the radio was still playing I finished putting the shopping away and put my bag back in my room. Taking a few breaths it was so intense when i was with him,, like noting was wrong.
When I came back I saw Paul looking at the picture of Harry and Sue on the wall on their wedding day
'Poor Seth' I heard him say quietly my heart beat faster he was so kind and caring.
'Want to watch a film?' I asked him he turned quickly and looked at me
'Sure, no chick flick crap though' he said seeming as though that is what the normal girls he goes out with chooses.
'Same here, I saw that the new fast and furious is on' I said seeing the excitement in his eyes
'You want to watch that?' he asked raising his eyebrows
'Yeah! I mean I've seen it in the cinema a few times but it is on at, 2pm, unless you've got somewhere to be' I said hoping he would be able to stay. He pulled his phone out and checked it.
'Sure' he said not looking at me I was so happy.
I passed him another beer and put the rest on the table or us Paul sat down and found the channel on the T.V, I brought the snacks I brought earlier on the table with some bowels, I hoped Seth wouldn't come back just yet. He was sat on the end of the sofa, beer in one hand leaning on the arm, legs spread apart, leaning back, he looked so cool all of he time he had found the channel and was waiting for to come on, I just stood at the kitchen counter looking at him. His shirt hung so well, his cut-offs, he ran his and though his hair, then his stubble. I walked over and sat at the other end of the sofa, I reached out and took a can of beer, I opened it, I poured it into the glass I brought through with me, I saw Paul looking at me, laughing slightly
'What?' I said taking a long drink
'Nothing' he said smiling and shaking his head then looking at the T.V I filled my glass beck up again I grabbed some food and offered it to him, he just took the lot, how did he stay in shape!? I took some and pulled my feet up ready for the film, it started I checked we had everything, the window was making the light shine on the telly, I stood up on the sofa and climbed over the back and drew the curtains I sat climbed over the back and sat back down, I got my drink and took a sip ready to watch, I didn't see Paul watching me from the corner of his eye as he tucked in to the chips and Licorice laces.
It started I leaned forward slightly watching it, knowing what was going on, seeing things I hadn't noticed before as I was so engrossed in trying to see the main parts the first few times, I was smiling and laughing for the first half hour, I realised how far forwards I was leaning, I took a drink of my flat beer, and leaned back still fixed on the T.V I reached over to the bowl of chips, I was surprised to find that it was empty, I looked at Paul and raised my eyebrows, he jut gave me the look a small child would, I took the bowl and filled it up again from the kitchen, this time I held on to the bowl for a while, I passed it back to him.
'Thanks' he said giving me a small smile I felt like I was having my first crush all over again it was silly. We carried on watching, Paul loved it, he was asking questions and commenting though the film.
'No!' he almost shouted when Gizel let go of Hans hand so she could save his life, I had tears falling down my face. I looked up and wiped both my hands over my face wiping away the tears,
'I was not expecting that' Paul said then looking at me had a look of empathy on his face I just rolled my eyes and finished my beer.
When the credits came on, he stretched and put his arms on the back of the sofa.
'That was brilliant' he beamed
'It isn't over yet' I said making sure my face was dry
'Wait I hope they'll show it' I said leaning forwards again
'No I think it over' Paul said moving the last scene came on.
'Sssshhhh, look, look' I said hitting the back of my hand on his leg a few times, I pulled my feet up again and looked knowing what was coming. I felt the warm tears rolling again it was so stupid but I had loved these films for such a long time.
'Wait this is from the 3rd' Paul said after a minuet
'You're supposed to watch the 3rd after this one I've heard honestly it is just' I didn't finish as the silver car crashed in to the side of Hon. I just took a long deep breath, Paul looked shocked he was even sitting forwards now. The Adverts cut in and that was the end, we just sat there for a second.
'What, so' he started looking at me
'I Know bring on 7 though now you need to watch the 3rd' I said eating some chips, Paul opened another Beer as we spoke a bit more about the film.
'I never thought you would like films like that' he said as though he was impressed
'Who doesn't like films like that?' i said mocking him
Later we were just watch T.V, I stretched and picked up the empty cans and just tidied up a little, I put the bits in the rubbish,
'Here' I looked up and saw Paul had brought back the now empty bowls
'Thanks, hungry?' I smiled
'Yeah had a busy morning' he smirked thinking about wiping that grin off of Quills face, he was on double night patrol for he next 2 weeks, because he couldn't keep is mouth shut, he has gotten an earful off of Sam but it didn't worry Paul.
I put the bits in the wash, we went back tot he sofa and sat down, Paul started flicking through the channels.
'Oh no lets watch that' I said as he passed a programme about young children in kindergarten and followed them though their year, it was a good documentry.
'No that is so shit' Paul dismissed finding something else to watch
'Oh how about, storage wars' he said
'No, that really is so boring' I said rolling my eyes
'Well I have the remote' he said
'I live here' I said reaching out for it
'We watched the film you wanted to see' he said teasing me knowing it would wind me up
'Don't deny it you loved the film, you couldn't get enough of it' I said making another grab for the remote. He was too quick he took it out of my reach again, I huffed in frustration earning a small laugh from him.
'Can we please see what else is on?' I asked him
'There isn't anything I've looked' he looked back at the T.V
'Bull SHIT have you looked' I scoffed at him
'Now, now' he chortled at me, winding me up even more waving the remote at me, I make another lunge this time moving my whole body over to him he moved the remote I was now leaning over him trying to get the remote, I laughed then pouted as I couldn't reach it. I relaxed, I realised where I was and how close I was to him, I looked to my left he was there, right near me i could see his face, the stubble on his face, the flecks of gold in his eyes, I could almost count his eye lashes. I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked at the rest of his face for a moment or two, his eyes were flicking over me.
His smell was intoxicating, the warmth from him was nothing I had ever known, it was as though he constantly had a fever, he moved his hand onto my waist, I had one resting on the sofa arm almost holding myself over him, the other basically in his lap, I felt helpless, vulnerable. I licked my lips that were feeling dry from the salty chips, the T.V in the background seeming to fade away. My arm wobbled slightly that was holding me up as I wasn't light. He reached up and pushed the hair out of my face and put it behind my ear, I panicked. I looked away, I moved off of him silently, his hand fell from my waist only when i moved away, I felt the cold consume the heat that had previously been on me, I stood up and went to the kitchen. I took a slightly shaky breath, I closed my eyes, I put the rest away and looked on my phone leaning against the kitchen counter.
OMG Paul at mine, just finished a film. … I text to Kim I glanced up to see he was still on the sofa smiling slightly as he watched the T.V.
WHAT! Kim messaged back almost immediately
Yeah he saved me from a snake then watched a film, so much tension though
I sent it.
Sexual tension? She replied quickly I shook my head and put my phone back in my pocket, I walked back in the room and pulled the curtain open fully. He groaned and stretched.
'So what is everyone doing today?' I asked sitting on the sofa arm the opposite end from him.
'Not much, on patrol' he said his arm above his head looking at me, I thought back to when we went for the drive in his truck, I smiled
'Oh right, when are you having another party?' I asked looking at what he was watching on the T.V.
'I don't know' he said
We fell silent I slowly slipped down the arm onto the actual sofa, I had my knees pulled up. I felt so tired now, I rested my head on my knees, I felt my eyes close, I tried to keep then open, I felt my head nod as I woke with a start, I looked around trying to stay away, Paul was just watching T.V. a smile slowly fading from his lips.
Phew! the intensity, i hope you liked it. If not just let me okay, more exciting things to come! thank you to all!
