The First Family
~Chapter 3~
I woke up really warm. I guess the house is warm. Then I turned over. Paul was right there holding my waist. So I did the smartest thing I could think of. I quickly unwrapped his hands and pushed him off the bed.
"What the-" Paul said.
"Oh my gosh are you okay?" I asked with pretend concern.
"Yeah I'm fine," he said as he stood up.
I stood up and stretched my arms. I looked at the clock nine a.m. I walked out of the room, not bothering to wait for Paul. I needed to see if Maria was alright. I walked into the living room, all the boys were there. Maria was sitting on the ground with her back against the wall. I don't think that she liked the pack. I walked over to Maria and sat down next to her. She looked at me with an upset face. She leaned her head on my shoulder. Paul walked into the living room and sat down on the couch next to Jared.
"So… what are we doing to day?" Paul asked.
"I don't know," Jared said. "Cliff diving."
"Yeah," Seth said. There was no way in I am letting Maria do that.-Me
Moriah will not let me do that.-Maria
"Not a chance," I said to Maria.
"What?" asked Paul.
"Nothing," I said quickly.
"So girls go get changed we are going to the beach," Emily said.
I stood up and held my hand out. Maria took it and I helped her up. We walked outside and to the car. I got our suit cases and wheeled them inside. Maria was right behind me. She did not like the beach. Our parents loved the beach it reminded us of them. I took our suit cases to the bathroom and pulled Maria in. Then I shut the door. I shuffled through the suit cases. I pulled out my under armor shirt with basketball shorts.
For Maria I pulled out her plain orange t-shirt with jean shorts. Maria and I changed then we took our suit cases back out to the car. When we got back into the living room everyone and there imprints were there.
"LETS GO!" shouted Collin.
They piled in there cars while Maria and I got into my Dodge Charger. We followed them to the beach. I pulled up to a fairly busy beach with kids at play.
Moriah I don't want to be here. Mommy…-Maria
"It will be okay Maria. We won't stay long," I reassure her.
"Okay," she said.
We got out of the car and the pack was already there hanging out with there imprints. I looked out onto the water. Maria was afraid of the water after our mother drowned herself.
"Hey you guys wanna go swimming?" Collin yelled.
I shook my head no. Maria just looked fearful. I walked over to the other side of the beach, Maria in tow. I sat down in the sand far away from the water. Maria sat down next to me.
"Moriah," she said.
"Yes Maria," I said.
"I don't want to stay here anymore," she said.
"Why?" I asked. I honestly wanted to know.
"These people freak me out," she whispered.
"Why?" I asked.
"There a family," she whispered.
Just as I was about to say something. They all started walking over.
"Hey you guys wanna go cliff diving?" asked Seth.
"No," Maria said.
"I don't think so," I said.
"Why not?" Brady whined.
"I just don't want to," I growled.
"Why not Maria?" Collin asked.
She did not answer.
"Well its time for you to get wet," Jacob said.
Maria looked terrified. Jacob scooped her up. Her being shy she didn't say anything. I stood up.
"Jacob don't do that," I said.
"Its fine," he yelled.
He dropped Maria over the cliff edge. She did not resurface.
Moriah help me-Maria
I jumped over the edge and into the water. I went under and say Maria caught on a rock. I let her loose and pulled her up. I swam with her to the shore line and laid her on the ground. She wasn't breathing. I did mouth to mouth as the boys started running over.
"Come on Maria," I whispered.
Finally she started coughing up water. I sat her up and hugged her.
"Moriah that was so scary," she whispered. She started crying.
"Look I'm so sorry," Jacob said.
I didn't even look at him. I picked up Maria and set her in my car.
I walked back over to the startled boys.
"Never ever touch my sister again," I said.
"Okay," Jacob whispered. I walked over to him and grabbed him chin. I made him look me in the eyes.
"Do you know why she didn't want to do it?" I asked.
"No," he whispered.
"Our mother committed suicide by cliff diving and drowning," I said. I let go of his chin. Paul looked so sad. I started walking back to the car.
"Are you okay?" Paul asked catching up to me.
"I'm-" I was cut off by lips crashing down on mine. What the crap.
I let up and looked at the lust in Paul's eyes.
"I'm going to go now," I said.
"Can I come with you guys?" he asked.
"Sure?" I said.
"Great," he said.
I walked over to the drivers side and opened the door. I pulled up the seat and Paul climbed back there.
What is he doing here. He is probably going to rape us-Maria
"MARIA ULEY!" I yelled.
"Sorry but you need to stay out of my head," she whispered.
"What?" Paul asked.
"Nothing," We both said.
"Do you smell that?" I asked. VAMPIRE!
"Yeah," Paul said.
I got out of the car and pulled up the seat again. Paul climbed out of the car and ran into the woods.
"Maria stay here," I said.
"Okay," she whispered.
I ran into the woods and phased.
We is it at?-Paul
I'm not sure I smell it but don't see it-Sam
Then I heard a scream.
MARIA-ME
I ran behind a tree and phased. I ran back to the car to find Maria gone. Sam came out of the woods with Paul. I ran my fingers through my hair. I can't even smell her scent anymore.
"Maria," I whispered. I did something I have never done in 650 years. I cried. I dropped to the ground and cried. Paul or Sam must have picked me up because I felt the warmth. Then I let the blackness consume me.
