Chapter Six
Author's Note: Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter, and I hope you will enjoy this chapter as well! Please review! It will make the chapters come out quicker if you do! Happy February to everyone and happy reading! Also, I did try to insert lines in my last chapter, and the site let me do so in the editing wizard, but they wouldn't show up on the actual viewing page, so if the story seemed kind of rushed in Chapter Five, that's why!
I knew what I had to tell Bella. The boy she was falling in love with wasn't safe for her... He was dangerous... Those golden eyes held lots of secrets back, and Bella deserved nothing but honesty.
Bella was walking up to me now, she looked like she had a million things running through her head. I probably looked the same way.
"Bella," I started, "I need to talk to you about Edward... There's something you need to know about him – about his whole family."
"I know where you're going with this." She replied.
"You know he's..." I trailed off.
"A 'cold one'?" She asked.
I nodded my head.
"How did you find out? Nobody is supposed to know about them, Kaylin..."
"You're going to think I'm nuts..." I didn't want to tell her about my dreams.
"I just found out the guy I'm falling in love with is a vampire, and you think that I'll think you're crazy?"
She had a point. But she still didn't know about Jacob, and I couldn't tell her. "Since I moved to Forks, I've been having these weird dreams. They keep coming true, happening a little while after I dream them. I had a dream about the accident at school, and the last night, I had one about Edward and his family."
Bella laughed. "That doesn't sound crazy at all! And knowing I have someone I can talk to about it, makes me feel a whole lot better."
I looked down the street, and then back at Bella, making sure nobody was walking by or peeking out their windows.
"What does he eat?" I asked. We both blushed a deep red. I was curious and wanted to make sure that my best friend wasn't going to be her boyfriend's dinner.
"Animal blood." She replied. "Don't worry, he's not going to turn me into a 5-star dinner..."
Edward Cullen was a vampire. Jacob Black is a werewolf. Bella and I are stuck in two different worlds that can never get along. Hopefully that would change...
I jolted up out of my sleep and looked around my room.
"Crap..." I whispered to myself. "Werewolves and vampires, Kaylin? Nothing weird like this ever happened back home..."
I looked over at my alarm clock and saw that I had about 2 minutes before my alarm was set to go off anyway. Today would probably be when my dream was supposed to come true. I reached over and flicked the switch for the alarm off, that way I didn't have to listen to the god-awful screeching sound that took it over from Monday to Friday at five in the morning.
I got out of bed and brushed my teeth and my hair. I put on some jeans, a hoodie, and some hiker boots and headed down the stairs to the kitchen to make some breakfast and get my first cup of java into me. Aunt Connie was already at the table, reading a magazine since it was too early for the morning paper to arrive.
"Morning." I greeted her.
"Morning, sweetie." She replied. "Anything fun happening today at school?"
The word fun sent a chill up my spine.
"I hope so." I said.
Bella and I decided to take turns driving to school since we lived only one street over from one another. It was my turn to drive this week, so I grabbed the rest of my school stuff and got into my van to go and pick her up.
I knew that I would probably have the "talk" with Bella today about Edward. But knowing that I couldn't tell her about Jacob was pretty tough. She was my best friend, and I had a secret that wasn't mine to share.
I pulled up to her house and walked up to the door. She opened it before I could even knock. She looked happy but scared and looked like she was hiding something. Worst part of it was I was pretty sure I already knew what she was hiding.
"Hey. Are you ready?" I asked her. She already had her backpack on and was headed to my van before I even finished my sentence. "Bella, wait."
She stopped and turned around. "What is it, Kaylin?" She started walking toward me but I met her half way.
"Bella," I started, "I need to talk to you about Edward... There's something you need to know about him – about his whole family."
"I know where you're going with this." She replied.
"You know he's..." I trailed off.
"A 'cold one'?" She asked.
I nodded my head.
"How did you find out? Nobody is supposed to know about them, Kaylin..."
"You're going to think I'm nuts..." I didn't want to tell her about my dreams.
"I just found out the guy I'm falling in love with is a vampire, and you think that I'll think you're crazy?"
She had a point. But she still didn't know about Jacob, and I couldn't tell her. "Since I moved to Forks, I've been having these weird dreams. They keep coming true, happening a little while after I dream them. I had a dream about the accident at school, and last night, I had one about Edward and his family."
Bella laughed. "That doesn't sound crazy at all! And knowing I have someone I can talk to about it, makes me feel a whole lot better."
I looked down the street, and then back at Bella, making sure nobody was walking by or peeking out their windows.
"What does he eat?" I asked. We both blushed a deep red. I was curious and wanted to make sure that my best friend wasn't going to be her boyfriend's dinner.
"Animal blood." She replied. "Don't worry, he's not going to turn me into a 5-star dinner..."
"I don't exactly think you're a 5-star dinner, Bells." I joked. She gave me a little push and I nearly fell over. "Jeez, Hercules. Hop off of the steroids."
"Sorry, Kaylin. I'm trying to build up my strength so I can beat Emmet at arm wrestling."
"He's that big tall one, right?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Good luck."
We pulled into the parking lot at school and the Cullen family was there. Edward was standing beside his Volvo, waiting for Bella I assumed. He looked at me with a strange face, like there was something about me he couldn't figure out.
"Bella, not to be rude or anything... But your vampire is staring at me." I whispered to her.
She started laughing. "He's having trouble adjusting right now."
"To what?" I asked.
"Well... He can kind of-sort of read minds..." She explained.
"So you're saying I'm going to have a blood sucker in my head all day, hearing all of my personal thoughts?" I whispered in a loud tone.
"Ssshh! No, you didn't let me finish. And don't call him a blood sucker..." She hushed me. "For some reason not known to vampires or his family, he can't read either of our minds. He was surprised that he couldn't read mine, but then I think he almost popped his top when he couldn't read yours."
"Either way... Tell him to stop staring. It's like he's trying to blow me up with his mind or something."
Bella laughed. "I'll see you in class, Kaylin."
"Yeah, Yeah..." I started walking towards Mike, Jessica, Eric and Angela. "Hey guys."
"Hey." Jessica said. "How was your weekend?"
"It was great. I spent most of it was Jake."
"Who?" Mike asked.
"Her boyfriend, you idiot." Angela told him.
"Since when do you have a boyfriend?" Mike asked.
"Jesus, what is this? Twenty-one questions?" I replied.
"What's the matter, Mike? Are you jealous?" Eric asked him.
Mike started blushing. "No."
I laughed. "It's alright. I'm not much into pretty boys."
"What?!" Mike shouted. "I am not a pretty boy!"
"You are, too!" Jessica said.
I shook my head and walked away. I knew this conversation was never going to end.
The last bell of the day rang and a smile broke out across my face. I got to go and see Jacob now. The thought of seeing him made my heart flutter and put butterflies in my stomach.
My cell phone started vibrating and I took it out of my bag. It was Jacob.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Good afternoon, beautiful."
My smile was even bigger now. "Well hello to you, too. I'm headed out to my van now. I should be there soon."
"Sounds great. I have a surprise for you when you get here."
"Can't wait. I'll see you soon, then."
"Bye."
We hung up.
I got into my van and waved to Bella out the window as she got into Edward Cullen's Volvo. I still wasn't sure if I liked him or not. I could deal with the fact that he's a "blood-sucker", as Jacob would put it, but I wasn't sure if I could deal with the fact that he was mad he couldn't read my mind. Sometimes, I just wanted to walk right up to him and say "big deal, there's something special about me, too." I don't think Bella would like that too much, and I like having her as a friend.
By the time I clued into the real world, I was already in La Push. I pulled up to the Black's house and parked my ve-hick-u-lar. I started walking up to the house and my beautiful man came running out the door to greet me.
He had a wide smile on his face. When he reached me, he wrapped his arms around me and spun me around in the air.
"I missed you!" He said into my neck. He set me down so I could catch my breath.
"I missed you more." I whispered as he leaned in to kiss me.
His lips were soft and warm. They wrapped around mine like it was destiny for them to do so. The kiss sent chills up and down my back and all over my whole body.
I slowly broke the kiss and pulled away to look at him. "So what's my surprise, Jacob Black?"
"You and I are going to be having dinner at Sam and Emily's." He replied.
"That sounds great." I said. "I can't wait to meet, Emily! You keep telling me that she's a great cook, so now I get to taste her work." I heard Jake's stomach growl at me. "Well... I'll get to taste it if you leave me any..."
He laughed. "Yes, I'll share. But there's more to the surprise."
"Is that so?" I asked.
Jake looked a little hesitant to tell me the second part. "The whole pack is going to be there..."
I smiled. "You seem worried."
He looked at me in shock. "You're not surprised that the whole wolf pack is going to be there?"
"Should I be?"
His eyes lit up. "You continue to amaze me. I wasn't sure if you would be up for hanging with a bunch of guys."
I laughed. "Where I come from, family is important. The pack is your family. Besides, I wouldn't mind putting a wager on the table to see who can win an arm-wrestling match."We were walking to my van.
"Wait a second, you don't think I'd win?"
"I don't know... Embry's lookin' like he's got some pipeage going on. Tough call, sweet heart."
"You are a funny lady."
I leaned over to the passenger's seat and gave him a quick kiss. "Tell me about it."
It only took two whole blinks of an eye to make it to Sam and Emily's house. It was beautiful. It looked like the house I had dreamed about when I was a little girl.
My eyes got really big.
"Kaylin, are you okay?" Jake asked me. I felt his hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah." I blinked. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"What was that about? You kind of stared off into the woods or something."
"I've seen this house before." I told him.
"I could have told you that. You drive by it every time you come to La Push."
"No, not like that. I used to dream about this house when I was a little girl."
Jacob was smiling at me. "Maybe it was a sign."
I laughed. "A sign of what?" I could feel his eyes all over my body.
"That you were meant to be here."
He leaned in slowly and his lips met mine in a heart melting kiss. I could feel the heat radiating off of his body. I felt his hand cup the side of my face.
The kiss slowly ended, and our foreheads were leaning on each other, eyes closed.
"I guess we should probably go see your family now." I whispered.
"Yeah... They might think we're getting all mushy out here."
I giggled and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. We both got out of the van and started heading up to the house. He took my hand and linked his fingers between mine.
I was falling in love with Jacob Black, and he had no idea.
