Heyyy! I'm back with a new Chappie! I'd like to thank you for my reviews, faves and follows. I'm crying tears of joy. I have to warn you, to understand this chapter and the rest still to come, you absolutely MUST re-read the fist Chapter, I made some big changes that I think would fit better with the story. I would also like to thank 'Lyo-Lyok' for giving me a few pointers.
Now on with the story...!
Chapter Two
*-Looking into the eyes of an Enemy,
but seeing the Light of a Lover-*
When I arrived home from my day with the girls, I found my dad, Aunt Sue, Leah and Eric, Jacob, Rachel and Paul, then lastly Seth, talking in the lounge.
"I'm home dad," I said as I walked to the kitchen to put my meds back in their place.
"Hi honey, how was your day?" He questioned, rolling into the kitchen with Aunt Sue behind him.
"Hi Aunt Sue, and it was wonderful thank you for asking. How was your day dad?" I asked, grabbing myself a granola bar and pouring me a glass of Coke – gosh I'm addicted to the stuff.
My dad gave a short chuckle and Aunt Sue greeted me with a hug, "It was eventful, spent the day with Sue and Charlie."
I nodded, sporting my; I'm-happy-cauze-I-have-sugar smile, walking over to the table and sitting on top of it.
"So dad I was wondering, if maybe we could have a bonfire tonight and that you and Old Quil could maybe, possibly, tell the tribe's legends and stories?" I asked and mentally crossed my fingers.
My dad looked at Aunt Sue as he spoke, "Will you and Emily be able to prepare all the food and drinks in such short time?"
Aunt Sue nodded, "Shame on you Billy, I can't believe you would think that we couldn't do it in such short notice." She scolded playfully. The house erupted in chuckles and giggles.
My dad smiled, "So it's settled then, Jacob and Paul why don't you two take Sue over to Sam and Emily's place and tell the others? We could start at six `o clock."
Jacob and Paul nodded and Paul began searching for the keys to his truck. Rachel giggled, turned him around and took his keys from his back pocket. He turned back around and gave her a loving kiss, taking his keys from her hands and walking towards the door, with Jacob trailing behind. When Jacob passed me, he ruffled my, already messy, hair, giving me his childish smile and walked out after Aunt Sue.
I scowled and, sort of, fixed my hair, "Okay, well I'm gonna go phone moi besties," I stated as I walked over to my dad, giving him a hug and whispering a 'thank you' in his ear. I made my way to my room with my beach bag in hand, I retrieved my bedroom key from my wallet, unlocked my door and closing it behind me.
I placed all my things in my bag back in their place; I heard a noise like someone was throwing something heavy on the ground. I walked over to my window, drew back my star printed curtains, opened my window and stuck my head out. I saw Eric, Seth and Leah carry big piles of wood and dump them where the fire usually is.
I closed my window and curtains, glanced at my alarm clock which read 16:36. I sat down on my bed, took my phone from my night stand and dialed Lacy's number.
She picked up on the second ring, "Hi Soph, what's up?"
"Hey Lace, and the sky," I joked.
Lacy let out a laugh, "You know what I mean."
"Yeah, anyway, I asked my dad if we could have a bonfire tonight and he agreed. So do you wanna come?" I heard a squeal and mumbled voices.
"I asked my mom, she just got off the phone with your dad and I can go, unfortunately my parents are coming with," You could almost hear the smile in her voice.
"Yay! So when are you going to get here, the bonfire starts at six?"
"Uhm, well I'm just gonna change into warmer and more comfy clothes, then I'm booking it to your place,"
"Kay, oh, can you do me a favor and phone Fallon for me and ask her if she wants to come too, cauze I'm going to phone Aleera now?"
"Sure anytime."
"Thanks Lace, see ya later. Bye,"
"My pleasure and see ya later, bye." I ended the call and quickly dialed Aleera's number. She answered instantly, I told her about the bonfire and she agreed to come.
I walked over to my closet, grabbed a pair of blue wash jeans, a white lace shirt and a hoodie.
I quickly changed, threw my dirty clothes in my hamper, took my black and grey hoodie and my iPod and walked out my door, only to walk into a wall, a really warm wall.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," I apologized to who ever it was.
"No it's my fault," Said a familiar voice that not only makes me happy and sad, but also angry. I look up from his chest and I meet his chocolate-brown eyes, and I find myself not being able to look away. How I missed those brown orbs, I see different emotions flash in them, some are hurt, pain, joy, but then there's one I can't place my finger on. I felt my heartbeat increase and I swear that he would be able to hear it.
Involuntarily, I tare my gaze from his eyes and focus on the things in my hands.
"Your dad sent me to tell you that Lacy is here," I swear you could practically hear the smile in his voice.
I cleared my throat, "Uhm, thank you Seth," I began walking away and caught a glimpse of his face, a huge grin plastered on his perfect face, but it fell slightly when I turned to walk to the lounge.
"You're welcome Sophy," There it is again, that happy and smile toned voice.
Why would he be so happy to speak with me or look at me, when every time he was near me, he would avert his gaze? And didn't he have a girlfriend?
I found Lacy sitting casually on the sofa in an outfit similar to mine, just she had light blue wash jeans, where mine is dark blue, and her hoodie is black and white.
"Hey Lace," I said as I sat down beside her.
She pulled one of her earphones out, "Hola Soph."
"What ya listening to?" I questioned, pulling my hoodie over my head.
She checked her blue iPod, waited a few seconds and responded, "Well I'm now listening to 'I wish I was a punk rocker' by Sandi Thom,"
I nodded and untangled my earphones; Lacy placed both earphones in her ear and continued to bob her head to the music. I placed my – now untangled – earphones in my ears and 'Take it off' by 'Kesha' filled my ears.
I began nodding my head and moving my upper body to the rhythm of the music, Lacy shot me a curious glance and I pulled one of my earphones out and handed it to her. She placed it in her ear and a grin spread over her face, returned my earphone to me and I stopped my music.
"Let's begin the songs on the same time," Lacy stated, whilst scanning through her playlist for the song. Once she found it she began counting to three, and on three we both hit play. I took one of her earphones while she took one of mine and we placed them in our ears. We do this all the time, it's really fun.
After awhile, Aleera and Fallon showed up and we chatted among ourselves, I told them about what had happened in the hall, and they gave me looks saying 'you still like him'. I of course denied it, but eventually caved in because I never stopped liking him. I only hated the person he became and what he told me on the beach two years ago.
Aunt Sue came in and told us we should get us some food, before the boys come in. When we entered the kitchen, the amount of food made me stop in my tracks, same with the other three. The amount of food was enough to feed more than the half of LaPush! Aunt Sue, Rachel, Kim, Emily and Leah laughed at our expressions, and reassured us that all the food would definitely be gone the first few minutes after the boys came in.
We just nodded our heads, still gawking at the amount of food.
I took a few chips, one hotdog, and a can of Coke – maybe I should see a therapist about my addiction – and as always; I took an apple, a red one to be specific. Lacy shook her head at my 'poor unfulfilling dinner', as she put it. It's not my fault I don't like to eat much, only when I'm actually starving I'll eat a lot.
We made our way down to the bonfire, as the boys were called to get their food. If it wasn't for Leah who stood behind us and pulled us out of the way, the four of us might be trampled from being 3D to being 1D. The boys almost broke down the door to get to the food. Talk about being animals.
As we walked toward the huge fire, I smiled like an idiot watching the flames lick the air, stretching up and dancing around. The guys all came out seconds later with their plates packed high with food.
We came closer to the fire and you could make out the colors caused by the driftwood. My smile became bigger and I felt like I was in a trance staring at the dancing flames.
"Are you sure that it's safe to take you down there Soph?" Aleera questioned, I shifted my gaze from the beautiful fire to Aleera, who had amusement and a glint of worry on her face.
"Yeah, I'll be fine, the fire just looks so pretty and colorful and warm and perfect," I sighed happily.
The guys let out chuckles, some muffled since their mouths were stuffed. I ignored them, and took a seat on one of the tree stumps situated around the fire, Lacy sitting next to me, on my right, and Aleera next to her; while Fallon sat on my left.
"Why'd you ask if she'd be alright near the fire? Is she a pyromaniac or something?" Brady asked; every one turned to look at me, and I mentally face-palmed.
Lacy and the other girls stifled their laugh, but the amusement is clear in their eyes.
I laughed nervously, "No, I'm not a pyromaniac; I just like fire, is all. I don't even own a lighter," They nodded their heads and turned back to eating and speaking with the person next to them. I began eating my food and speak with the girls.
"I never thought that I would be eating with the entire cult," Lacy whispered in my ear and I nodded in agreement. I gave the few chips I left over to Lacy, who happily took them. I opened my can of Coke and took a sip washing the remaining taste of the food away, and I began eating my apple.
I felt someone's gaze on me and scanned the – sort of – circle, until my eyes landed on the chocolate-brown puddles I love so much. The emotions I saw earlier still remained in his eyes. Out my peripheral vision I saw Brittany trying to get his attention, but it seemed as if he didn't register her at all or anything for that matter. He looked like a child eating chocolate for the first time; Brittany followed his gaze and saw me looking at him, who was looking at me. Her face flushed with a look of knowing, then hurt and last anger.
"How could you Seth?!" Brittany exclaimed, brining me out of my 'Seth's eyes trance'. Every ones attention snapped to the two, Seth looked at Brittany with an apologetic face. She stood up from her spot and ran towards the forest. Everyone looked at Seth with questioning eyes and he just shrugged, but met the eyes of all the cult members.
"What was that about?" Fallon questioned. I shrugged and continued to stare at the fire.
A pain filled howl echoed through the forest, and my senses stood on edge, Lacy, Aleera and Fallon all tensed and we looked at each other trying to figure out if it was just a normal wolf or something else. The sound replayed over and over in my mind, it was filled with so much pain and loss that I wanted to run and join the longing melody.
I noticed a few of the group, such as my dad, Aunt Sue, Jacob, Sam, Seth and a few others, watching us intently like they thought we would run off scared or something.
I returned my gaze to the dancing flames, wanting to manipulate them so badly.
After a while my dad cleared his throat and began telling the legends, those of the spirit warriors – which are my favorite – the ones about the cold ones and the one of the third wife's sacrifice. As my dad's voice carried through the night, my gaze was locked on the fire as I pictured the warriors in their spirit forms, fighting the cold ones. The entire time I felt a pair of eyes on me, and I didn't need to look up to see that it was Seth who was watching me; somehow I could just tell it was him.
Some time during the story about the third wife, I fell asleep on Fallon's shoulder. I guessed that Jacob had probably taken me back to the house and tucked me into bed, because I only remember warm arms picking me up and the wind slowly rushing past me, then I felt my soft bed underneath me.
That night was one of the few nights where I dreamed about something else, instead of the haunting dreams that wake me in the early hours of the morning. That night I dreamed about me running as my other self, a pitch black wolf, with the rest of the members from my pack/pride. I dreamed that Seth was one of the spirit warriors, running with us through the forest, and for once I was happy to be able to dream, I just wish the dream would never end.
