Thanks everyone for being patient while I had a busy week. The baby shower was good. I just finished Chapter 8 and am currently working on 9, so I'll post 8 in a couple days after I go over it a few times to make sure I got everything. Thank you all for all your reviews. If anyone has any suggestions, or critisism, please reviews. Yes, I even look forward to those flames. They tell me what I need to work on. As long as they are not rude. Thanks again and enjoy.


Chapter 7

Mary was sitting on her bed late the next day. Bella was somewhere with Jake, and the rest of the pack was running patrol. She had been keeping an eye on Bella and the pack. So far everything was good . Of course she could only see clearly for the next week. Then it gets fuzzy. All she could make out was fire on water? But that made no sense. Why would there be fire on water? Then something about a black car. A phone call, and a funeral. The images were too fuzzy, she couldn't pin point any one things. She was broken out of her thoughts when the phone rang.

She ran out to the kitchen where the phone was and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Mary? It's Paul."

"Hey, what's up? Is something wrong? I haven't seen anything, but I've been focusing on Bella."

"No, nothings wrong. It's just...the pack's give Jared and me the night off to spend with our imprints and I wanted to know if you wanted to go to a movie or something?"

"Your asking me out?"

"Is that ok? I mean....if you don't want to, that's ok too.."

"Paul, it's ok. I want to. When will you be here?"

"Is 5 ok? We can go eat first."

"Always thinking with your stomach, yeah I'll be ready."

As soon as Mary hung up the phone she shrieked and ran out the door. She banged on Emily's door and the minute it was open she launched into an explanation.

"Paul asked me out on a date and I don't know what to wear?"

Emily laughed and grabbed her hand.

"Let's go get Kim. I think she has a date tonight too."

Mary and Emily raced to get Kim. They got her clothes and raced back to Billy's house. They spent the next few hours getting dressed and getting ready.

Kim and Emily went home. Sam was spending the night in with Emily, while Jacob took over. Kim and Jared were going somewhere or another. So there was Mary amusing her uncle with her bouncing.

"You excited, Mary?" Billy asked while trying to hide his laughter.

"Yes. I have never been on a date before. I don't know what to do."

He cocked his head at her, "Don't you know already? I mean, your psychic."

"Uncle Billy, I don't want to ruin anything. Now, shush. I have to make sure everything will be ok, while half the pack is gone."

He nodded and she sat on the couch with Jacob's picture in one hand and Bella's ring in the other. The reason she got a ring from Bella was so it would always be touching her hand. If something was going to happen to her, then the vision would hit Mary by itself with out her searching for it. It was one of the reason's she always kept a picture of Jacob in her back pocket. The pack was all interconnected. If something happened to one, the rest would know as soon as they shifted.

She was busy concentrating on the future that she didn't hear Paul come in. Jacob, Paul, and Embry would catch the scent tonight, but they would lose it. A hiker would be killed, but there was nothing she could do about it. She opened her eyes to see Paul standing there looking at her.

Mary smiled and grabbed her coat and gloves. She didn't want to ruin her surprise. They drove for about 40 minutes before Paul pulled into a drive in.

"So, what are we seeing?" She asked him.

He grinned at her, "It's a surprise. I'm surprised that you didn't look to see."

"I do like surprises you know." She said.

He pulled into a spot after paying and reached behind the seat and grabbed a blanket. He led her around the back of his pickup truck and opened the tail gate. She raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Why, Paul, do you have a mattress in the bed of your truck?"

He put his hand on the back of his neck, and she could swear he was blushing. "Well,....I....um....you see.....to sleep?" He glanced at her and she couldn't take it anymore. She started to laugh.

"Paul, your a guy. A sixteen year old teenage boy. One with an ego the size of Texas. I'd be surprised if you didn't have a mattress in the bed of your truck."

He boosted her up into the bed and climbed up behind her. "Your not mad?"

She turned to look at him and put her tiny hand on his cheek. "Paul, what good would it do for me to get mad? I mean, it's not like you knew me, or were in a relationship with me when those things happened. I however would be mad, if anyone but me ever was on this mattress or any other with you ever again."

He swallowed and nodded. She grinned and pulled the blanket around her and snuggled in to Paul to watch the previews.

"So, what are we seeing?"

"It's called 'Knowing'. Kind of fitting isn't it? It's about some guy that finds a piece of paper with numbers that tell him the future, and he had to go and stop these bad things from happening."

She laughed. Yes it was fitting.

After the movie, they headed back to La Push. Mary looked at Paul confused as he pulled up to the beach. He got out and walked over to her side and opened her door for her and helped her out.

"Paul, what are we doing here?" He just smiled and walked over to a bush and pulled a picnic basket from behind it.

"We are going on a picnic. From the sound of things, they will get bad soon, and I want to spend time with you while I can."

Mary and Paul enjoyed their time on the beach and in the next few days, Mary had started to become good friends with Bella. She had even gotten Bella to promise to keep an open mind. So when Thursday rolled around, she wasn't expecting anything out the ordinary.

Mary opened the door to Emily's and seen that Emily was making breakfast for everyone.

"They caught the scent of the red head and had to go out early." Emily said. Mary nodded and sat at the kitchen table. She turned as Sam came into the house and gave Emily a hug.

"She got away in the water, Jacob is going to check on Bella since she spends most days on the beach. Seth phased also about an hour ago. He's out there with the others."

Mary frowned she opened her mouth to say something when she was hit with a vision. Bella was jumping off a cliff. There was that flame on the water again. Mary gasped.

"Mary what is it?" She looked to see Emily kneeling in front of her.

"Bella, Sam, she jumped off the cliff. I don't know why I didn't see it before....I didn't know what it was! Victoria is in the water. Bella jumped. You have to do something."

Then the phone rang. Emily picked it up and they could hear sobbing in the background, along with a howl that pierced through the air. Sam ran out of the house phasing as he ran across the yard. Mary sat there in shock. How could so much happen at once? How could so much go wrong in so little time?

Mary and Emily waited around till late at night. All of a sudden Mary picked up the phone. A husky gruff voice answered.

"Jake, take Bella home now. And remember she'll be fine." Then she hung up. Mary plopped down on the couch and layed her head on Emily's lap.

"What's wrong?"

Mary sighed, "Bella needs to go home. One of the Cullens are there. I can't see which one though, which is weird. It's like Bella walks in the house and everything goes black. But I know it's the Cullen car outside her house. She needs this. In a couple days, she'll be ready to move on to Jake."

Mary fell asleep next to Emily and was awakened by the door slamming shut. She opened her eyes groggily to look at a very pissed of Jacob.

"That leech was there! You told me to take her home! It was a Cullen! What were you thinking?!"

"Jake, I..."

"No, enough! If she goes back to him, I swear on my mother's grave, Mary, you will wish you were never born!" Then he was gone.
