Mel POV
As soon as I woke up, it was in the evening. I went down the stairs and entered the kitchen, half-asleep. I muttered goodmorning to Emily while she grinned at me and said "Goodmorning, sweety. How are you?" I replied, "I'm still tired but I'll try to wake up soon." "You're still tired? You've been asleep for more than 20 hours." "Huh, that long? Well, let's see if we can reach the record of a whole day. You mind if I take a little snooze on the couch?" She laughed at me and told me "No, go ahead and sleep, lazy." I headed straight to the couch and plopped on it until I became horizontal with one of my foot dangling across one of the arm rest. As I began to space out, I heard footsteps and grumbling and shoving and laughing. I smiled to myself and thought what a nice environment this is...
"-El".. "Mel"... "Hey MEL" I turned my head sleepily towards the sound and grumbled "What?" I heard laughter and a groan. "Man she sleeps a lot", grumbled the voice. I didn't want to open my eyes; I was comfortable the way I was. I was feeling like I was drifting and then... BAM. I hit the floor with a loud "Ooof" I was still so tired even the floor seemed comfortable, so I huddled closer and yawned. The laughter increased but I was dragged from the floor and put in a sitting position on the sofa. "Mel? Are you OK? " said a a voice filled with worry. I knew that voice immediately. It was Embry's. Slowly, I opened my eyes, one at a time and saw a worried looking Embry sitting next to me hold my hand and his other hand on my forehead. "You're not sick or anything, are you?"
"No" I croaked. I rubbed my eyes and very slowly got up. I began swaying on my feet, and Embry helped me stay vertical. Such a cute boy.. "Are you sure? I mean you've been asleep for a long time, even more than Tom , and he sleeps A LOT" "True that," muttered Tom, who winked at me. I smiled at him and said, "I'm positive that I'm fine. It's just the flight messed up my sleeping." Embry seemed okay with that and let go of my hand. Dang! I like the feeling of him holding my hand. It was soft and hot. I meant that literally, it's like he's part of the sun, but it's a comfortable heat. I entered the kitchen and Emily told me to settle down at the table. This time I ended up sitting between Paul and Embry. "Yess".. Huh, where did that come from,I asked myself. I went next to Emily, in the kitchen and she told me, " Mel, how many eggs do you take for breakfast? And is 4 sausages enough? How many slices of toast do you want?" I stared at her dumbfoundedly. "Uhh.. you mind if I don't have any of that stuff? Do you have cereal?" She nodded but still insisted I take a big breakfast. I argued politley and told her I only wanted some cereal. I poured myself some milk in a bowl and some cereal. Again, i wasn't that hungry. I sat down and Paul stared at me like I was mad. "That's all you gonna eat?" "Yeah," I replied. Just like yesterday, their disapproving looks appeared and Collin said, "You're not on those crazy diets, are you ? The oned where you girls barely eat, thinking you want to get thinner? 'Cause I think that's stupid !" "Huh? Of course not! I used to do that before, but now I'm just not that hungry. And besides, you guys eat way too much. It's like you eat for 3 whole persons." Sam joined in by telling me that they all think I'm good the way I look and shouldn' change anything or do any sacrifices. "Amen to that, big boy" and they all just laughed. I mean, Quil nearly choked on his bacon.
Afterwards, I went to shower and came out wearing again shorts, red tank top this time, and a white jacket with white high tops. I trudged down the stairs and looked outside the window and then at the clock. It was 7.00 pm. My time to head out. I went next to Emily and told her I'm gonna go for a walk round La Push. She was hesitant at first but then said not to go too far. I went out the door and the cold air cracked like a whip. I zipped up my jacket and headed outside Emily's house area. It was always quiet. I mostly saw small houses, some small shops here and there. I could also see the road to the beach but though it's better if I went there in daylight. And of course there was the big, enormous forest surrounding La Push. I was so caught up in myself that, unfortunately, I got lost. There wasn't a person in sight and I don't have Em's number. To continue with that, rain started pouring down like a bomb. I didn't have a jacket so I went in the forest where I might be able to get protected by the trees. The wind picked up and could barely hold my ground. I slid down on the cold soil and began to think of my options.
I could go back out there and try to find my way back and see if someone would give me a ride.
I could go explore the rest of the woods, and find some shortcut.
I took Option 2.
I headed to the centre of the forest. As I walked, I began seeing a shed of light. I continued to walk near it and arrived into a wide clearing, surrounded by colourful flowers. In the middle of the field, there was a huge rock and at the top of it, there was a crystal. It looked so pretty. I stared at it, mesmerized by its beauty and simplicity. Without wanting, my hand reached for it and everything went blank...

Hope you liked it ! xxxxxxxx
