Chapter 4

I must of looked like an idiot. My mouth hung open and I couldn't remember if had the control to shut it again. I managed to pull my self together but not before Seth had started laughing. His cheery sound had me laughing to. It felt natural and made me light headed. I hadn't laughed like that in a long time. Jacob Black, who I assumed was the tall boy, looked up at the sound of laughter. I suddenly felt nervous again for the third time that day.

Seth nudged me and gestured forward. I started walking with Seth next to me whistling. The small sound made me feel slightly better. We hadn't gone far when Jacob called to the little girl who came running to him unnaturally fast. They reached us before we had gone 12 feet. When they where closer, I realised the girl, who I remembered was called Nessie, wasn't that small. Her height suggested she was about 10 but there was something about her that made me wonder if she was younger...

"Hey Jacob, hi Nessie" Seth's voice dragged me back to the present.

"Hi Seth" Replied Jacob. His voice was deep and husky, unlike Seth's warm one.

"Jacob, this is Ellie Blake" Seth smiled at me.

"Hello" Said a small, soprano voice.

Nessie was looking at me and I suddenly lost my train of thought as she smiled the most dazzling smile that had me breathless.

"Umm...H-Hey" I managed to get out. Nessie smiled wider. Jacob was looking at me too but his face was had to read. It was like he was judging my reaction. I smiled timidly at him and a broad grin spread across his face.

"You know you're alright." He said to me and Seth laughed. It was as though he was testing me. And I had passed.

"You guys staying?"Jacob asked.

"Sure, if that's cool? Ellie?"

"Yes of course I'd love to" I spoke without hesitation.

"Great!"Nessie's high voice surprised me again and she grabbed my hand. Suddenly an image filled my head. It was as though I was looking in a mirror. I was standing next to Seth on the track with a timid smile on my face. The angle was as though I was looking through someone's eyes who was shorter than me and they where looking up. Then, just as suddenly as it had appeared, it vanished. I tried to gather my thoughts but I must of looked as though I was about to faint as Seth was right behind me looking worried. I must of looked dazed as well. From the corner of my eye I saw Jacob flash a warning look at Nessie but she still grinned and said "Come on Ellie lets go over there" and she pulled me towards the white tree trunk.

The following afternoon was one of the strangest but most wonderful I'd ever had. Me, Seth, Jacob and Nessie ran around, playing tag and daring each other to go into the water for the longest time without running out again. Nessie was laughing the whole time and she seemed intent on making sure I had a good time too. Seth and Jacob seemed to be enjoying themselves too though I found out the Jacob was 18. The way he was around Nessie bought back what Seth had said before and the secret I could see in his eyes...

"Jacob Black, his son and Nessie, Jacobs...umm...friend."

There was definitely more there. Friend just wasn't the right word. Jacob and Nessie, or should I say, Jacob and his Nessie, seemed to fit together like they where made for each other. She was so sure of him, I could see in it her eyes, and vice versa. There where odd moments when she would reach out to him and his eyes would widen and then he would smile, like she was showing him something, in his head. But that was ridiculous...wasn't it?

Seth was either oblivious to this or just use to it. Him and Jacob go on so well, and Seth liked Nessie a lot too. Seth was the kind of person it looked impossible to faze or annoy in any way, he was so easy going and lade back. I could never frown in his company. As we walked up the track after saying goodbye to Nessie and Seth and Nessie insisting that we meet tomorrow, I ran over everything that had happened today. Overall, it has to be said that I had the best first day ever.

PLEASE review!!!

Remember virtual hug for those that do!
