Narrative POV
The girl laid in the ground that was sucking up her sorrow as she slips in and out of the darkness. Moonlight luminated her fragile body and the shadows ran back into the woods waiting for the clouds to hover over her again. The bushes rustled as movement became persistent, out emerged shadow hooded man walking quietly towards the sleeping beauty
Lilliana... that is such a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl.
Shh shh shh don't be scared... I'm here for only your sake. You can't run forever from me... we share the same immortality, well... yours is locked away for a while
we are one of the twisted same so the more you push the more painful it gets.
Stop fighting it and suck life right out of them... or I'm going to drain yours...
My eyes fluttered open to the streak of light shining through my curtains. Could it have been a dream of what happen last night or did it happen. I slowly sat up afraid I might hurt myself and hoping everything I see and feel was real and I'm not unconscious but everything I touched was there. I still can't believe it that I'm here in my room. I flugged the covers off me to see i've changed into different clothes. I got out of bed and walked to the curtains, maybe I got home and changed and went straight to bed. It could be possible that I just don't remember anything but the bonfire. Did I go home alone or Embry was with me?
I headed downstairs to see mum at the table drinking her coffee and reading the newspaper, still wearing her navy blue matching pj's I went up behind her and gave her a hug. I could feel her startled but than she relaxed and patted my arm around her.
"Hey, there sweetie. You finally woke up." she said.
I let go of her and headed for the fridge, "Ya."
"So how was the bonfire? You didn't get drunk or did meth or-"
"No mum I didn't do any of those stuff. I ate, I talked and I laughed. Nothing more. Nothing less." I said slipping a few laughter in. I sat across the table from here and took a bite of my banana.
"So are you going to tell me?" she asked giving me a cheeky smile.
I looked at my mum afraid of the look she was giving me, "What are you talking about?"
"you, know... the cute boy that was caring you bridal style back home," she said coolly. My body went went rigid. A boy?
"W-what did he look like? Cause there was a lot of of people there and I really got to know one very particularly." the image of Jacob flashed through my mind and that's when my head started to throb.
My mum didn't seem to notice my sluggish figure and continued on wards with description, "He was tall, tan skin, nice lushes hair hair and no denying the boy works out."
"Does this CUTE boy have a name or were busy drooling over him to hear anything?" I said while restraining to roll my eyes. I went around the counter sipping on my orange juice while looking at mum tapping her finger to her chin away.
"Hmm, I think his name was Jake Lack?" I stifled a laugh and she looked at me with an arch eyebrow, "What?"
"Don't you mean Jacob Black mum?" I said still through laughter.
I watched as realization dawn on her face and with the sound of 'awh' I knew I hit the right spot. "Right, right. He was such a charming fellow and the way you were snuggle to his chest seems like you didn't want to be anywhere else." she stifled a laugh by cover it with sipping her coffee.
Looking off in the distance, I down my juice trying to cool of my flushing face. Somehow I could possible imagine it in real life that I almost let it slip behind mum's head .I tried pushing it away but the finally touch was when mum pushed back her chair letting it become glittering mist.
I hoped she didn't notice some it lingering in the air cause I simply could push more back any longer. The headache grew more as a migraine and I couldn't hide the hissing noise slipping through my gritting teeth. Mum turned and the look of concern filled her happy imagine. "Oh Baby are you alright?" the only reply I could give was a grunt.
I heard the friction of her slippers going around the room and the sound of clutters and cupboards opening and closing. I just leaned my head on the cold counter as it eased the pain away- but only slightly.
I could feel her near me and the pouring of juice and pills laying out on the counter. "Lilliana, sweeties. Take these, it will make it go away." I wanted to object and say I'm fine but I know that I couldn't lie through this. I flung my head back and let the pills dance its way down my throat and took a swig of juice to get it down.
Mum started to rub my shoulders and kissed the top of my head, "Don't worry sweetie... all this will get better in time." I hummed a reply and let the comfort of motherly love to soothe everything away. "Are you hungry? I can make you your favorite, chocolate rabbit pancakes with strawberries on top." the corner of my lips twitched as my mood started to perk up. "Ya that would be wonderful, thanks mum."
Mum started busying herself away at the stove so I decided to head back up stairs to take a shower.
The warmth of the steam filling up my air-way made me release the stress that was clouding up my mind. Is it possible that something is wrong with me? I don't remember anything that happen last night after I left without saying goodbye. Just closing my eyes, parts of the woods flashed before me and I couldn't open them- not yet.
Everything was dark and all I can see was the sky spinning out of control and that was it... everything else is blank or maybe... maybe I passed out from the pain and Jake just found me there but how did he know where I was?
I turned the knob off and grabbed my towel. I wiped off the mist hanging on the glass and looked at myself. These eyes that have many stories that no one can know about without me fleeing from their life. I have to remove the memories from my mind so it won't slip through and taking these pills but just for awhile till it runs off. I can't be pumping it in my veins for the rest of my life. I need to find an outlet- quickly.
I tied my wet hair in a messy bun and through on my skinny jeans and white t-shirt and was welcomed by the sweet aroma of chocolate pancakes. I entered the the kitchen and sat down in front of the syrupy stacked and reached for my orange juice. Mum came around and gave me a kiss on the cheek and headed upstairs to get ready.
I was enjoying my important meal of the day when I heard a knock from the door. I wanted to ignore it and enjoy my syrupy goodies but the knocks became consisted. So I got up and headed for the door. I wasn't expecting to see Jacob's broad shoulders and leaned back towards me. "Hey," he turned around and gave me that croaked smile of his. "Hey, I came to see how you were doing."
I couldn't help but feel my heart tug from his concern and I open the door to give him way and also try to cover up the blush forming in my cheeks. I heard him sniffing the air and I have to stifle the WTF look trying to carve its way on my face.
"I smell something good. What is that?"
"My mum made me some pancake for breakfast. I could have give you some buuuut I don't know how to make it," I gave out a nervous laugh as we both sat down next to each other. I kept poking at my food cause I really don't feel comfortable with eating in front of people specially if I really don't know them (Specially hot ones if you know what I'm saying).
"So what happen last night? I heard from my mum that a grizzly bear carried me home," I said with a cheeky grin. His laughter bombed through out the hollow kitchen which got my ears shake with enjoyment.
"Well, I know the grizzly bear was very kind on not eating you but-" his sentence lingered in the space between as I watch his face crinkled in a cute way as he switched for the words, "well... how am I suppose to say this... I went after you because you look terrified crap-less so I go worried."
"Thanks for worry for me Jake but that still doesn't explain what happen to me last night," I coed on the last few words as I wait for him to pick up where he left off. He let out a small sigh and lowed his head down as he tried to hide his nervous-ness.
"Ahhh... I caught up to you and I was about to suggest to walk you back home but you ended falling head-over-heals with me," he looked up and gave me a wink and a poker face smile. I laughed at his fail attempt of being charming. "Okay okay okay, I give, I give but I'm serious," he stretched across the counter and grabbed my juice and took a sip, "you did... pass out when I was about to talk to you so I decided to bring you back home." he said while still gulping down my juice.
I didn't know what to say. I tried to fit the pieces together with my flashes and his stories but somehow they didn't seem to add up. They didn't seem to connect the dots. Either I could be to sick to remember what really happen or he is covering it up what really went down last night. I know I was alone... I know that he couldn't have followed me without me knowing it. Something wasn't right here.
"Are you going to eat that?" he asked pulling me out of my train of thoughts. I looked down at my plate and felt my appetite fleeting away like a fluttering butterfly.
"Nah, you can have it." as I was handing him the plate I notice a reddish cut going up his wrist to his elbow.
I grabbed his hand gently, pulling it towards my vision. He didn't seem to protest till my fingers lightly trailed the scar, "How did you get this?" I looked up to see Jacob's eyes averted from me like he concentrated hard on the wall.
"It's nothing really," he pulled his arm away, "You know how boys are. We like to play rough," he gave out a force smile and went back to the unfinished pancake. I did not want to push it so I simply let it go-for now.
"I'm ahh... going to head upstairs and get something and then you can take me around the place," I was out of my seat in a flash but I stopped mid-way on the stairway, "If you don't mind that is."
I could hear the clearing of the throat and the scrapping of the chair, "Nah I don't mind at all."
I let out a secret smile and bounded up the staircase to my room.
I started grabbing my phone and iPod when I heard the sound of a little girl laughing behind me, I spunned around so face that even my heart skip a beat. No was there but the sound still hanged in the air like humidity after a heavy rain shower.
Even leaving that room I could sense something was watching me.
Something that wasn't... normal.
