I absolutely most definitely had the most fun time ever! Seth made me laugh, but before that our eyes met and he had this weirdo look on his face. Some people grinned at him but Jacob was glaring…oh well. He smiled after I looked at him oddly, but it was forced. Embry and Quil acted insane so I died laughing, Paul was funny when he was teasing other people, and everyone just had a good time. Jared was the sweeter brother type of the group, and Sam was somewhat friendly. It was all going great until I teased Jacob a bit too much and Paul asked, "Gee, what'd your Mother think 'bout that?" His grin fell once he realized what he said. Jacob glared at him as I stared at the ground. "Oh God, sorry Kat…"

I nodded. "It's fine. I think I'll head on home. I'll just walk, okay Jake?" I asked, standing up. Paul stared at the ground sadly. "It's fine, really. I just need to sort myself out, okay?"

Seth stood up. "I'll walk you home. I think I'm too tired to stay awake longer anyway, and I might as well…" I turned and waved to everyone as Seth followed me. "Paul didn't mean it… It just slipped, I know it did. He didn't mean to hurt you…"

I sighed, "I know that. And I'm not mad or anything. It's just, I lost everyone and everything time after time and I was so happy, I felt like I was happy and it'd never change. And then that happened. I was brought back to reality. I just moved here, I still need to unpack, and I just need to sort myself out. Otherwise, I'll just be cranky and you don't need to suffer. You get it, right?" I was still staring at the ground when he brought my chin up and made me look him in the eye. His eyes are so dark, like chocolate…

"I'll always understand, Kat." He said gently, and then we walked on in silence. It was a comfortable silence, and thankfully it was dark enough to hide my blush. He even walked me to my door and hugged me goodnight. Then he left and I went up to my little room, locking the door.

I didn't hold Paul responsible. Things slip, and I know that. But I needed to think. I guess you want to know how it all started.

First, when I was about 5, my parents died in a house fire. I saved some things that didn't burn, since the fire started in their bedroom and I was on the opposite side of the house, but that didn't soften the fact my parents were dead. It just fully hit me when I was about 10 or 11. But I miss my Mom's soft hugs and delicious chocolate chip cookies, and I miss Dad's jokes and friendliness. Mom and Dad knew everyone and everyone loved them, but the person who set the fire. They were caught, and killed mysteriously. As crooked as law enforcement is, and since Mom's brother was in it, I believe Aunt Kel killed that man.

After that I was shipped off. My family wanted me, but none of them were exactly well off. Most were poor as could be, too poor for the social services. So I was shipped here and there, almost everywhere. Some parents lived in the country, some in the city, some everywhere. I've been almost all over the United States somehow. I never quite understood how I was shipped everywhere. Just as I thought I'd never be happy again, it changed.

A very kind woman, Nancy, and her husband adopted me. They lived on a large horse ranch in Arizona. It was beautiful. They home schooled me and taught me Spanish, sewing, riding, gardening, and everything I ever needed to know. I figured I've had so many bad things happen; maybe I'll be here forever, happy. But it didn't happen. I stayed there for three years, ages 9-12. Then tragedy fell. Her husband died, and she couldn't do it all on her own. She became poor. She had to sell almost everything and move into a tiny house. She wanted to keep me, but said, "I want you to have love and not have to worry if they'll be food on the table. I love you too much for that." So I was taken from her.

Then I was thrown around some more. I hated it. But finally, I landed here. Of course, the main reason I was shipped off: my magic. I could tell things about people in my dreams. Not major things, like their jobs, but stuff like their favorite foods or animals. Things that don't make or break life, just help you along. It never made sense, and may never, but it did help some. Fate decided, hmm, I'll ruin her life, but she'll have a small gift. She'll love me for it! You're wrong, fate.

I finally collapsed on my bed, ready to sleep the night away when the phone rang. I picked it up since Billy was most likely already asleep and he shouldn't have to wake up. "Hello?"

"Is this the new girl? Um, Katie right?" A young voice asked. She sounded just a bit older than me.

I nodded but realized she couldn't see me. "Yeah, it's Katie. Who're you?"

"I'm Leah. Seth wanted me to call and make sure you're okay." Leah said. I realized she wasn't at the bonfire tonight. "I'm Seth's sister. The gang and I always hang out together, so you'll see me in school tomorrow, okay? Just don't let anyone know I can be nice. I'm only nice to you 'cause you're my brother's im-… friend." She covered it up. I wonder, what is she hiding? "So yeah. Night." She hung up quickly. That was really, really strange.

I flipped over and unlocked my door; Jacob might not appreciate my door locked so he couldn't have any hope of getting in without breaking the door. Then I brushed my teeth and snuggled into my warm covers, falling into a fitful sleep.

It showed Seth devouring food like a wolf, eating… cherry pie?... like he was starving. I wanted to giggle. Then he looked right at me and smiled, showing pointy teeth? Then he leapt out the back door, running faster than humanly possible. Was that this dream's hint? He was going inhumanly fast… What to make of it?

So there's that chapter! It may not be good… My mind is foggy. Yep, so Katie sees weird stuff in dreams. It happens, it happened to me anyway. I had a dream my friend loved peanut butter cookies (we just met like a week ago and we didn't get to talk much to figure each other out) and I asked her about it. Guess what her favorite cookies are? Peanut butter cookies. Sweet, huh?

And now to thank my WONDERFUL reviewers! And if you read this, don't worry, I love you too.

JAStheSPAZZrocks: Thank you, I'm trying to update quickly. And yeah, Jake's gonna get real mad. We'll see his POV tomorrow in the next chapter (hopefully). And I haven't really thought much about Billy. Thanks for helping me make sure I remember him! You rock!

XxAndyxCadexX: Thank you so much! I love it when reviewers are friendly. I try my best, and it's nice to know people appreciate it.

Thank you so much! I know it wasn't really sad enough, but I just can't do sad. It's just plain hard for me. Anyway, have a nice day!
