Raising Moons

I don't own Twilight or New Moon.

A/N: To answer the question Vinestar asked about what Taini looks like, she is 5.6 with long black hair that goes to her mid back. Her hair is curly, but it's more like soft ringlets, she has ivory skin with a little tan and she has a natural blush. (Side Note: Her mom is Native American and her father is English. So her grandma that she is living with is her mother's mom.) Taini has big doe bluish-purple eyes. She about average size, she not too skinny or fat, and she runs a lot, she was on the cross-country team when she was in New York. Taini is living with her grandma because her parents travel a lot for business, which is why when Taini was younger she would live with her grandma for the summer because her parents always traveled. I hope that helps, and thank you angel in your nightmares, MoonlightIbis, and Vinestar for reviewing.

Taini POV

I awoke up the next morning and looked at the clock, 6:30 a.m. Stupid time zone. (A/N: It would be 8:30 in New York) I tried to get back to sleep but I just couldn't. So finally I just got up. It was so early and grandma isn't every wake yet. I slowly walked to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and got dressed for a run. I pulled my hair up in a ponytail and walked downstairs. I wrote grandma a note so she wouldn't worry. I walked out the door and was met with smell of rain. Shocking it wasn't running yet. I walked around the house over to the woods; I quickly spied a path and quickly started my run. I always enjoyed running, it gave me time to think, to relax. I enjoyed the cool and dark of the forest. I was never afraid of the forest or dark it was oddly comforting to me. I quickly lost track of time, I should stop and look around to see where I am, but of course I didn't. I just kept running.

Crack

I whipped my head around to where the noise cam from. I slowed down then I came to a stop. My scenes in heighten as I looked around the forest. I saw something rush to my right, then something to my left. But the adrenaline rush wasn't there; I was calm, like I was in no danger. I relaxed and waited for whatever it was to come. Waiting. The only sound I heard was my breathing and my heartbeat. I shifted my weight to one foot to the other, waiting. This is silly, there is nothing there. I slowly turned around and started back home, not running, walking and listening for any sound.

"Taini!" I heard my grandma call. I walked out of the woods to see my grandma standing at the door.

"Hey grandma," I called and jogged over to her.

"Taini, you should go in the woods alone, there have been deaths from an animal in the woods," said grandma quickly hugging me. I thought about the noise in the woods and my throat went dry. I followed grandma in the house.

"I made some pancakes, would you like some?" asked grandma smiling. I nodded. Grandma moved around the kitchen as I sat down at the table. "Here you go." Grandma placed a plate of pancakes with maple syrup and a grass of orange juice in front of me.

"Thank you," I said quickly and started eating.

"I went to the school this morning and you will start tomorrow," said grandma smiling. I nodded and grandma felt the room. Ugh, school. I would be the nice girl, this could go to ways, one would be everyone wants to be my friend, or that I would be the outcast. With both ways people would be staring at me, watching my every move, all the attention I would get. I groaned, and those guys would probably going to be there too. I finished my pancakes and I put my dishes in the sink and went to my room. I grabbed on of my favorite book, The Count of Monte Cristo. I started to read that but my mind kept drifting to the forest. What was that? I wasn't I afraid? I felt so calm and peaceful. I closed my book and went to my closet, what was I going to wear tomorrow, something nice but not too nice. I picked a pair of blue jeans and a olive green tee-shirt with a maroon zip up hood sweatshirt, and my necklace, which I wear were day. I paced around my room, I had nothing to do. I grabbed my red ipod and turned on some music. I lay down on my bed and stared up at the ceiling. My eyelids drooped down, that odd peaceful feeling came back and soon I was asleep.

I was in the middle of the woods, it was dark, and the only light was coming from the moon that looked like my necklace. I felt my fingers reach up and touch my necklace. I heard and howl and I turned around. There were two groups of people facing each other. One group had five people in it three men and two women. There were so beautiful, unearthly beautiful. My eyes were pulled away from them and turned to the other group. There were four of them, three men and a woman; they also had a wolf with fur that looked like snow. The two groups looked like they were fighting. I slowly walked over them. The group with the beautiful people bore their teeth at the other group, and then the three men turned into wolves.

Beep, Beep, Beep.

I woke up. 6:00 a.m. School, ugh.

…

Grandma let my take her truck to get to school. I drove slowly to school, I still don't know where it is, grandma told me how to get to school put it didn't help me. I did find the school. It was small, two building one with the class room, the other with the gym and where you would eat your lunch. I parked my truck with the other student cars. I took a deep breathe and got out of the truck. I ready I was getting stares from the people in the parking lot. Great, today was going to be wonderful. I quickly walked into the building. Welcome to La Push High School, home of the wolves. I walked into the office.

"Hi, I'm Ms. Greensmith, can I help you?" said a women maybe in her twenties with big blond hair and brown eyes.

"Hi, I'm Taini River, I'm new," I said.

"Yes, Taini, here is your schedule here," she said snapping her gum. She grabbed a piece of paper and gave it to me. "If you have trouble finding your classes, ask someone. Have a nice day at school." Then she looked back to her computer, ignoring me.

"Thanks," I said and walked out of the office. I looked down at my schedule; Algebra II was my first class room 103. I walked down the halls, looking for room 103.

"Do you need some help," came a husky voice from behind me.
