Chapter 3
On they're way home...
"Alright, what was that back there," Joey asked irritatingly as we made our way home.
"What," I said innocently while looking way from my brother.
"It looked like we joined at the hip, you wouldn't leave my side," he complained as he was
glaring at me.
"Thanks for being understanding," I said with sarcasm.
"Look I am sorry, its just, tonight you were suppose to have fun and relax," said Joey. "If I
had known it was Ephraim that saw you...I thought it was a Makah, not Quileute, that
saw you.
"Its not your fault, I should have told you what he look liked, but I thought I wouldn't see
him again, turns out I was wrong," I said indifferently. "But the beginning of the night was
great, and so was your friend Quil, I like him." I told with a smile while trying to change the
subject.
"Iam glad you like at least one of my friends," he said happily. "But look at me, here I am
making friends and you don't even have one." Joey said with concern as he looked at me.
"I prefer to be alone, you know I don't like to attach myself to anyone but you."
"I know the last few hundred years has left you scared when it came to choosing friends,
but times have changed."
Joey was right, with my last friend I ended up saying too much and the next thing I knew
I was close to being burned at the stake. And with that memory, left me trusting very
little in humans.
"Please do me a favor and to put my mind at ease make at least one friend, I don't like
seeing you alone, it worries me," he said with concern.
"I will give it a try for you," I said not wanting to face him.
"Of course, I am just saying this because I won't be home all next week. Iam going to be
satying with Quil and better understand his culture," he said as he dashed towards the
manor leaving me in his dust.
That night Joey and I were going back and forth arguing. Apparently Joey said he grew
tried of my company and wanted to send more time around men. And I that said I needed
him around to be safe. Then he reply saying that with me being half vampire I am all the
protection I need and that he was just a teleport away if I needed him.
That week that Joey left Sheriff Swan came by the manor to introduce me to his daughter.
She was very pale looking with brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a heart-shaped face.
A good five foot four inches tall, slender but not at all muscular by apparence. Then I turn
towards Sheriff Swan and stared awkwardly.
"Thought I could introduce my daughter, Marie, you are about the same age and she could
use the company," He said and with that he left.
And that whole week with Marie we had no communication, but just simply being in each
others company, spent time just reading books from my library, drinking tea in the garden
and helping me go through some of the boxes I have yet to unpack. It wasn't until one day
I broke the silence between us.
"Do you have any friends," I asked staring from across the room in the library. And she
looked up from her book to answer.
"I Like to keep to myself, so no" She said indifferently. And she stared back at her book.
"Thats 2 things we have in common," I said happily as I looked at her.
"2?," she questioned.
"Yes, we both don't have friends and we keep to ourselves," I said trying to lighten the
mood as Joey would say if he were here.
"I suppose your are right, however I do seem to enjoy your company even with how little
we've spoken towards one another," Marie said happily with a smile while she looked at
me from under her lashes.
"Thats probably because we were forced into this and didn't expect to do much, but to keep
each other company," I said. And by the end of the day I guess I made a new friend, won't
Joey be pleased.
With the week being over...
"So, how was it living with the Quileutes," I asked as my brother and I were walking one
day through the woods.
"Amazing, I would gladly do it again. But what about you? How was your week?," He
asked me hastily and from the looks of it I would say he is avoiding trying to say to much
about his time with his friends.
"Pleasant," I answered while looking ahead of us.
"Iam just glad your not dead, you know that thought was the only thing that kept me up at
night. But at least everything turned out alright, I can finally relax," he said, I still wasn't
convinced, I mean I can feel his concern for me, but it seems that later I will know what was
on Joey's mind, he just took it upon himself not to ruin our bonding moment.
Later that night
As I was getting ready for bed Joey came to my room.
"Serenity, how do you feel about me bring my friends over," he asked me nervously as he
was leaning on my bedroom door.
"Why?," I asked while I was sitting on my bed getting ready to go to sleep.
"They have never seen the inside of a white man's house. I just thought it was fair trade, I
mean I have been in their tipis, so why not let them spend the day in our manor," he said.
