hey guys another chapter!i only own Raine and Tristan thats it! read and review read and enjoy!
After spending the day mostly job hunting around the reservation and in town Tristan sat down in the small woven chair beside the bay windows in the small living room area. Taking a deep breath as she stared she caught the attention of her uncle who was siting on the couch who seemed to remained unnoticed.
"What are you thinking about over there?" Mark asked making himself known..
Tristan jumped at the sudden voice that was in the room with her then gave a brief smile.
"You scared me." Tristan said trying to control her heart beat. "But I'm thinking about the day that mom gathered me and Raine up and left." She added.
Mark nodded at her as he put down the paper onto the table and gave a nod for her to continue. Tristan turned her attention away from him and out the bay windows out past the woods that were once so familiar to her.
"I remember as if it was yesterday honestly. I was fifteen at the time." Tristan replied putting a strand of her long black hair behind her ear. "We were at the old house, I had been outside playing with Raine in the tire swing and Sam Uley was there. He was pushing Raine in the swing causing her to giggle and scream for him to push her higher. Then suddenly momma came out of the house looking as if she had been crying and told me to get Raine and to go in the house and gather our things up in the house then for me to put her into the car seat in the car. I did as I was told as Sam watched with a helpless look on his face." She added.
Mark stood up from the couch and waked over to the other chair and sat down across from his niece who never took her eyes off the forest.
"Once Raine and me were in the car I noticed my mom on the bottom step and my dad on the porch looking as if he was trying to plead with her about something. She screamed something at him then turned to Sam who was standing beside the house." Tristan said as she looked at him. "Before I could object to anything Sam was already gone through the woods with my mom yelling at him. Then the next thing I know my mom is the driver seat of the car and we leave with my dad standing on the porch looking sad or scared not really sure what was it. It's hard to remember." She added.
Taking a hold of her hand, Mark gave it a gentle squeeze and smiled.
"Tristan, your mom and dad were always rocky from the start. Everybody around here knew that." Mark said as Tristan sat back against the chair. "When times got hot between the two of them. Somebody always threatened to leave and get a divorce. When your mom left for the last time taking you guys with her we thought she'd come back. But as we both know she didn't come back and they got divorced." He added.
"Uncle Mark, do you know what the fight was about?" Tristan asked puling her long sleeve shirt up a bit.
Mark nodded without saying a word as she waited for him to reply with a answer.
"Tristan, that fight was something that had to do something that no body really wants to talk about." Mark replied as Tristan nodded at him.
"My scars." replied Tristan as he nodded at her. "They were fighting about my scars?" She added.
He nodded at her and grabbed a hold of her arm and touched the scars.
"They were fighting about how you got them." Mark replied as Tristan looked at her. "Your dad swore up and down a bear had gotten you a hold of you because you wondered too far into the woods alone. Your mom how ever knew the truth behind it all Lulu, She knew that somebody lost their temper with you due to the secret that is among those here. But when your mom tried to explain things to your dad without actually telling him like Jacob did with Bella. He made her guess it instead of telling her. But your dad thought your mom had went off her rocker and wanted to have her checked out and all that junk." He added.
Tristan looked down at the scars on her arm and took a deep breath.
"She knew that Sam had done it." Mark replied as Tristan's head snapped up. "Don't ask me how she knew but she did know Lulu, she came to me after everything and you were in the hospital. She was swearing she wasn't crazy and I believed her. But what made things a lot worse is that you didn't bother trying to stay away from Sam. He was like your night and day at the time." He added
"I was fifteen years old!" Tristan said shaking her head. "I was a love struck teenager! I had a crush on a guy who showed me attention for the first time. But nobody knows why he did right? No body bothered to hear my side they always kept it hush hush." She added.
Mark just watched as she went back to looking out the windows.
"It's hard to forget what happened that day, if you hear me screaming in the middle of the night don't worry it's just a nightmare of that happening every now and again." Tristan said as Mark just nodded not knowing if she saw him. "I was sitting on a log by a small creek, it was out spot you know? The silly little things we use to do made me just want to run away with him every time he asked me to. But I was sitting there and I heard something and I remember looking up and seeing a set of eyes staring back me through a brush. Standing up slowly I was quickly frozen when a huge wolf appeared from that area." She added.
Tristan shook her head at the memory still wishing she could forget that one day of her life that seemed to have turned her life upside down.
"It was solid black and huge, it looked at me in the eye and I suddenly for some reason was calm for a little while. As quickly as it appeared it was gone. Scared the shit out of me." Tristan said with a laugh. "Sam appeared not long afterward and I remember explaining to him and he just grinned at me. Then he goes do you remember the stories that were told at the bombfire and I nodded. He went more into details making me go into shock." She added.
Mark looked up at the door to see Raine come in and quickly went up the stairs without a second thought it appeared.
"Before I could stop my self I ended up yelling at him that he was nothing but a freak of nature. He was going against everything of the laws of nature." Tristan said sighing. "He was nothing but a freak who would never fit in with life and would be nothing but a bastard child. I quickly realized what I had said and tried to back track but it was too late. I took off running through the woods as Sam's anger seemed to get the best of him. The last part I that remember from after that is a bit hazy honestly. I remember screaming at the top of my lungs for him to stop and I was sorry. Then I felt sharp pains on my arms and chest area I passed out. Next thing I woke up in the hospital with my mom crying her eyes out and my dad sitting in the chair just sitting there quietly." She added.
"Things happen for a reason Tristan." Mark said with a small shrug. "Sometimes it's amazing to see what one will go through just to get to the point they are suppose to be at. But I promise you this though baby girl, when your time goes it will come where at full force and you'll never know." He added.
Tristan took a deep breath as she nodded at his words without looking at him. Mark stood up slowly and stretched as Tristan now shook her head to clear her thoughts.
"I know that you love him and don't try to lie to me child because you are just like your momma, you wear your feelings on your sleeves." Mark said as Tristan just grinned. "Time will tell what will happen." He added.
"Highly unlikely Uncle Mark." Tristan said now standing up almost towering over her Uncle who looked amazed at her height. "Did I grow?" She added.
"It appears, but hey your a female so you stop growing at twenty one so you got one year left." Mark said rather too quickly.
Tristan went to say something but stopped as Raine walked down the stairs.
"So what is for dinner tonight?" Raine asked with a grin.
"Well, I've had spaghetti in mind." replied Tristan as both of them just beamed at her. "Ok that is what we are having. I better get started." She added.
Walking through the swinging door, she left the uncle and niece alone once more.
"Uncle Mark did Tristan grow?" Rain asked as he nodded at her. "She is way taller then me now not cool at all." She added.
Mark laughed at the comment made by his younger niece towards her sister. Tristan quickly grabbed everything from the top shelve and quickly put them on the counter only to jump back as she closed the door cabinet to see Sam standing at the back door shirtless.
"AHH!" Tristan said grabbing the counter top. "Don't do that." She added opening the door.
Sam laughed at her comment as she stared at him.
"What can I do for you today? Need me for another experiment for your boys?" asked Tristan as she started to fix dinner.
"Tristan you know it isn't like that." Sam said looking at her.
Turning around to face him with a wooden spoon in her hand she stared at him.
"Then what is it like then Sam?" replied Tristan as she pointed the spoon at him. "Because I am dying to know why your little pack of boys wanted me there. Was it some kind of sick joke to you? Or was it fun to show a freak to your family." She added.
Sam shook his head trying to control his temper at the moment but Tristan was good at pushing his buttons as she stared.
"Or was it the fact that you wanted to see for your self what you did to me all those years ago without the bandages?" replied Tristan as Sam just glared now. "So tell me Sam what can I do for you?" She added.
"I am here to tell you sorry about the last time I saw you, things got out of hand even before they started." Sam said looking at her. "Emily wanted to make sure that things were ok and see if you were fine." He added.
Tristan raised an eye brow at him for a quick then shook her head as she put the lid down on the pot of sauce.
"Your girlfriend wanted to see if I was ok?" Tristna said nodding her head as she stared out the window. "How nice of her, but does she know that you are here with the ex girlfriend? Better yet let me ask this, We all know that you dated me, then Leigh, let me guess you imprinted on Emily causing Leigh to have heart break right?" She added.
"How did you know that?" Sam asked with a sudden interest at what she had just said.
"News travels fast my friend around these parts remember? We are werewolf country." Tristan said with a glare. "But tell Emily that I said that I am fine and I will be ok and I glad to see that you guys are happy now get out before I yell rape." She added.
Sam looked at her with a serious glare on his face as she stared.
"Don't temp me Sam." Tristan said with a glare.
"Tristan be serious about this." Sam said as she put the spoon down.
Crossing her arms over her chest, she gave a small smile.
"RAPE! RAPE RAPE RAPE!" Tristan started screaming at the top of her lungs.
Quickly Mark and Raine ran into the kitchen to see Tristan now standing alone with a smug look on her face.
"Are you ok? Why were you yelling rape for?" Raine asked looking at her older sister.
"Oh just making sure that you guys were still there." replied Tristan looking over shoulder. "Now get out I get the rest of dinner started. Out out out." She added pushing them out of through the door they had entered though.
