CHAPTER FIVE

BPOV

La Push- First Beach

I was cold and wet. Mostly cold. Who knew beaches could look this miserable. It was lightly raining from what I could hear from inside Mike's van. Only Angela and I were staying in the van, we weren't as exciting about surfing as the others seemed to be. From my perspective today was a horrible day to go to the beach, but to everyone else this might as well be the hottest day in summer. Forks didn't experience many hot summer days, so even though to me the weather was cold and wet to forks it was the perfect day to go surfing. While everyone else was getting dressed into their wetsuits, Angela and I were talking about her crush on Ben Chenney.

".....you see it seems like he's giving me the signals, the 'I like you' signals, but he also seems so nonchalant. I don't know if he likes me" Angela said.

"Of course he does" I replied earnestly. If only she could see how Ben looks at her.

"I don't know?" Angela relied in doubt. After a moment she complains, "I just wish he would ask me to Prom!"

"Why don't you ask him? I'm sure he'd say yes" I encouraged

"Really?" She questioned shyly. "You think I could do that. Just go and ask him to Prom?"

"Yes, you're a strong, beautiful, confident woman. You can do this"

"Okay, I'll do it" Angela said smiling.

"Okay, well off you go, ask Ben, there's no time like the present" I said, secretly excited to see the outcome. I know Ben will say yes. Ben and Angela, they way they act around each other it's like.......... puppy love. Definitely Puppy Love.

"Hey Bella" someone called out. I didn't recognise the voice. It sounded like it was coming from the beach. When I looked, I saw Jacob. Jacob Black. Billy Blacks son aka Dad's best friend. He was coming towards me; he had to guys hanging around with him. The all looked so similar in appearance. The all had dark, tan, russet skin. They all were about 5'9" in height. And lastly they all had long black hair. The only way I could tell Jacob apart from his friends was his eyes, they held the same fun loving child energy that I remember from when we were kids.

"Hey Jacob, watch this!" I pointed over to Angela, who was now standing next to Ben. It looked like Angela had just said, "Hey Ben, so you excited about surfing today?"

"Oh yeah, the waves look welcoming today" his eyes shone with adoration. "How about y-you, I mean...I know you're not surfing, but how are you?" he asked slightly nervous.

"Oh, I'm fine" Angela looked over to me, I motioned her to keep going, "Well, I actually came over here to discuss an idea I had with you"

"Ok, shoot" Ben replied eagerly.

"Well, I was wondering if you would like to go to Prom together?" Angela asked with a bit more confidence. "I mean I understand if you don't want to or if you already have a date, I mean we could go as friends if you'd..." Angela rushed out. Ben interrupted her before she could finish.

"Yes, I'd love to go with you. I was actually planning on asking you, I just didn't think you liked me like that" Ben blushed at the end.

I was content now; "Hmmm, that's nice" I turned to look at Jacob now "So, are you following me now? First personally delivery the car, thanks by the way"

"No problem" he replied with a grin

"And now coincidently running into me at the beach, um stalker?" I said in mock accusatory anger.

"Hey your on my Rez remember" He said

I laugh "Yeah"

"So, you surfing?"

"Definitely not" I said "I can't even keep balance on dry land" I pointed out in all seriousness, my face showing no signs of joking.

Jacob shook with laughter "yeah, I remember when we were little, you and the ground were like this" he showed me his left hand with the middle finger crossed over the index finger. Yeah, I would agree that the ground and I were friends. We had over the years put some distance between us, nut I'd still say were close. I heard laughter from Jacobs's friends, I looked at them, then at Jacob; indicating there was an introduction needed.

"Oh sorry Bella, these are my two friends, Embry" he pointed to the tall, lean Quileute boy "and Quil" he was the more stocky, muscular Quileute boy.

"I'm Quiletera" he said trying to be charming. I had to hold back a laugh, but you could tell that I was highly amused; my eyes gave me away, that what Renee always said. But luckily neither Jake nor his friends noticed. I looked around and noticed that Angela was now sitting on the beach watching Ben go into the water. Jessica, Mike, Tyler and Eric were walking towards the water after Ben.

"So Bella" I looked back at Jacob, he looked a little nervous, he had his head down until he spoke to me, he looked up and said "You wanna go for a walk?"

"Yeah, sure" I replied, he instantly looked happy and relaxed.

We walked along the beach in silence. Neither one of us spoke for ten minutes, we just enjoyed the atmosphere and each other's company. Embry and Quil had left a couple of minutes ago.

"So, how's school?" Jacob enquired. We had stopped walking, we were now staring at the horizon.

"Good, different" I replied, there was something about Forks that I couldn't shake off, something abnormal about Forks.

"Different, what do you mean?" he looked at me with curiosity showing in his eyes.

"Just some people at Forks High, confuse me" Jake looked at me silently asking who? "Do you know Edward Cullen or James Taylor?" I asked. Jacob stiffened next to me. "Do you?" I asked. He stopped looking at me. He did, he knew them.

I immediately started shooting off questions, "You know something about them? They're different from other people aren't they? You know what's different about them? What is it?"

"Nothing, they're.....n-normal" he said. I noticed how hard it was for him to say 'normal'. If I was going to get any answers out of him I had to use a different tact.

"You do know. Tell me please, you know you want to" I asked playfully. I know it wasn't right to use Jacob's infatuation with me to get answers, but I had to know the truth.

Jacob looked back at me, I think he could tell that I wasn't going to give up, and I think he liked that I was flirting with him, arrgh I wish I didn't have to use flirting as a tool to get information.

"Yeah they are different, I'm really not supposed to tell anybody, Billy would kill me if he knew I told anyone this" he said.

"I can keep a secret" I said coyly

"Well you know us Quileute's, were supposedly descended from wolves" Jake said.

"Wolves, like real wolves?" I asked in disbelief, he nodded. "Well, what's this got to do with Edward and James"

"Wolves only have one real enemy. The Cold Ones."

"Cold Ones? What are they?" I asked, completely confused.

"They're meant to be vampire's, like blood drinking vampires" he said with a disgusted tone near the end.

"So, the Cullen's and James are.."

"The Cullen's are meant to be 'different'. Well they say their different. That's what my grandfather, Ephraim Black said. But anyway none of this is true, it's just a bunch of old scary ghost stories" Jake said. I stayed silent, we continued to walk along the beach towards the van now. I kept thinking over everything Jake had just told me, even though Jake didn't believe any of it, somehow I felt that I was getting closer to what James and Edward were. Which was definitely not....

"Hey, you okay there?" Jake asked, effectively bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah" I said shaking my head so as I would temporarily get rid of my previous thoughts

"You don't actually believe those stories do you? Cause there just that...stories. I think Billy told them to me whenever I was in trouble. There not real." He said

"Maybe Billy has been watching too much 'Teen Wolf'" I joked.

Jacob laughed "Probably"

We had now reached Mike van, it appeared everyone was ready to go home now.

"Well, I better be going now, it looks like there just waiting for me" I said

"Yeah, well I let you go, you should come visit the Rez more often"

"Yeah, I will" I replied, Jacob was great to hang out with, easy, comfortable. I noticed he was going to give me a hug, so I politely hugged him back. I had to be careful with Jacob, I could tell from the hug that he probably thought that this was the beginning of something. As we pulled away, we said our goodbyes and I went quickly to Mike's van. As I was getting in I was soon bombarded with Jessica telling me all about Mike asking her to Prom.

"Can you believe it, I mean I totally thought he was going to ask you. Are you okay with this cause if it's weird....."

"No, there's like zero weirdness" little did she know I was relieved, Mike would stop asking me to go with him, he was nice and all but completely not my type, he was a friend at most.

"Great.......' Jessica said, Mike had just entered the Van. Jessica stop talking immediately and just stared dreamily at Mike from the back seat.

"So, is everyone ready?" Mike asked, we all murmured a 'yes', as he turn the ignition on and drove us home.

Bella's Bedroom- 8pm

It had been a couple of hours since Jake had told me the stories about 'The Cold Ones', and I still couldn't get it out of my mind. There was something about this story and Edward and James that kept gnawing at me, something I needed to find out. I know during dinner I must have looked spaced out or something, I'm glad Charlie didn't say anything to me, I know he noticed my change in behaviour tonight; instead of being just quiet I was also staring into space tonight, but the great thing about Charlie is he doesn't overreact.

So now I was at my desk waiting for my computer to warm up and turn on. It was making that buzzing and wheezing noise which usually meant it was nearly on. I opened a Google internet browser and started writing in random words and phrases Jacob used in his stories like; Quileute, Wolves, Cold Ones, etc. I wanted my computer to move faster but it wouldn't, I was jigging nervously in my chair waiting for results to my searches, I knew I was getting closer to the truth when I looked up Quileute Legends. There was information about the area, the stories about descendants and wolves and most importantly about the Cold Ones. The internet sites only provided a limited amount of results on what I was looking for, most of the sites referred to Cold Ones in the fiction sense, Hollywood crap. I found a book I had a feeling would help me, there was something about the book that felt like I was going in the right direction. The book was at a store in Port Angeles, though.

It was 10pm by the time I decided to finish my research. I got up and went to brush my teeth and then got dressed into my t-shirt and boy shorts for bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow I hoped I wouldn't dream of 'The Cold Ones'.
