I don't have much to say, but a few things. I'm trying not to get them together so fast, but they have acted like this since they were little and they really weren't together. They're trying to now. The other thing is that this chapter may really suck, I have a huge writers block, still, and it's giving me a headache. I hope you like it though.
Enjoy.
After having lunch alone, I headed for Daine's house. Hoping we could go now. I stopped when the front door opened. "Fine mom, I'll go to town. I get the gator and take it to the edge of the woods. I'll be back later though, I'm gonna draw."
"The view is no different from here Daine," I heard her mother say, I smiled softly, she's trying to make up a lie for being late.
"I wanted to draw the sunset over the water. I'll be careful I promise," she walked out in a dark green tank-top over a pair of jeans. She jumped off the porch and put the money in her pocket, then looked up. "Oh, hey." she said softly, walking over to me.
"So, want me to come shopping?" I asked, putting my arm around her shoulders. She smiled.
"I would like that." We walked up towards the Gator and she pulled out the keys. We both got in and drove it down the path to the bottom of the mountain.
We walked into town and headed for the grocery store. A lot of the teenagers were around the shopping center. All of them sitting in the rare sunlight. They had on shorts and t-shirts, sunglasses, and flipflops. I put my sunglasses down over my eyes, Daine doing the same. We passed a clothing store and saw something she would like, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the store,
"What?"
"Just hold on, we have enough time to do this," I said pushing up my sunglasses to look at her with pleading eyes.
"Fine," she said a pushed up her sunglasses.
"You know how when you turn 15..." I trailed off, she knew what I meant. "and how you get to have any outfit or dress." she nodded, making me continue," I want to get you one."
"Axel, you don't have to. My mom said she was gonna take me to get one."
I turned around to face her. "Daine, please." I said and put my hands on the side of her face.
"Your ahead of the rest then, I say it's an unfair advantage,"
"What?"
"Your in the same race as Dedier and Nolan. The race for me and you know it too." she smirked and slipped from my grip to look around.
She stunned me with those two sentences, but hell, she was right. I was in this race, and I still am. I don't want to suck up to her, I love her. I sighed and put my arms down. I pulled out something from my pocket and held it close to my face.
It was a necklace with a wooden wolf on it. Something our pack does traditionally. But I had something special on it. There was a locket, not a regular heart shaped locket, but It was a sun. Very Ironic but she loved the sunlight. "Axel, aren't you coming," I heard her ask. I shoved the necklace back into my pocket and turned to face her.
"Yeah, I was looking at something." I said and followed her.
We didn't take long but she had found three to choose from and headed to the changing room. I found out that day that girls are very weird. They take too long to get dressed and they act weird around guys. I found that out was because this group of girls around my age walked anyway they could to walk past me. They even flirted with me.
"What's your name?" one asked, putting her manicured hand on my arm.
"Axel," I said looking down, hoping that Daine would dress a little faster.
"Why don't you come to a party tonight? Maybe be my date?"
"No." I said flatly. "I'm already with someone."
"Who? Do I know her?" She looked appalled.
"No, probably not. And here she is now," I said turning to her. She looked amazing. She looked just like her mother, that's what my dad always told me. She wore that dark green and brown swirled dress that made her look untouchable.
"Who are you?" the blond girl asked.
"I'm Daine," she said, intertwining our fingers. The blond took a step back. I knew why, she saw the forest in Daine's eyes.
The girls left in a hurry, and we watched them leave. Daine let go and took a step back. "so, how do I look. This one is my favorite, the others didn't look right." I could do nothing but stare. She was beautiful, and I thought she was mine. "Are you going to say anything?" I wanted to but I couldn't. But I did do this.
I walked toward her and kissed her. My fingers instinctively wound through her hair as my other pulled her closer to me. She was hesitant at first but kissed me back. We broke away to breathe.
"Axel," she said softly and hugged me. She was waiting for this to happen. I hugged her back and picked her up.
"Ahem," someone cleared their throat. We looked and it was a lady that works at the store. "Are you gonna buy that or not?"
"Yes, I am." I said. The lady nodded and left. I set her down and she went back to take it off. She came back out and I got the dress for her.
We went grocery shopping and put it in the gator and covered it up with leaves. I turned towards the city of Forks.
Daine stopped, I turned to see why.
I stopped, I was told that was the treaty border. When Axel said the border, I thought the Canadian border, not this. "Axel, I-I." he sighed.
"Please, no one knows and were not going to get in trouble. If we do I'll take the blame," but I had to to cut him off.
"What would the punishment for breaking the treaty? Huh? It's death Axel, death. Your not dying." He walked closer to me, and I stood my ground.
"Your father knows this girl. He's been there since she was young, since you were born," he said.
How, why, would he do this. I'm his daughter. I wiped my eyes and looked away. I rethought about going with Axel. "Lead the way," I said so softly but I knew he could still hear me. He didn't smile but did as he was told. I can't push him away like this. I'll fix it later.
We shifted and I tied my clothes to my ankle strap. We ran and ran and I, shockingly, got tired. He was so different in wolf form, he was actually peaceful, compared to his mixed emotions about just about everything. He had a serene look on his face and his eyes were closed. His muscles bunched together when he ran. His fur had hints of black in it, and it rippled as if it was flowing down a river. He was beautiful.
I panted as we reached a small clearing. I glared at Axel and he puffed out his chest, I tried to get those images out of my head. I sighed, he was very big headed at times. Well, that was Axel.
I went to the other side of a tree and changed. Peeking around the tree, I saw Axel button his pants. Heat rose in my cheeks as I walked back around the tree. "She should be here really soon," Axel mumbled under his breath and scratched the back of his neck.
"Axel?" a light voice said from a bush. I turned and so did Axel. A girl with copper-colored hair, in little ringlets, that cascaded down her back was standing there. Her chocolate brown eyes bore into me with a sense of knowing.
All it took was one sniff to know what this girl was, a vampire. Their stench is so pungent, I almost threw up, but I swallowed hard.
"Hey Renesmee. This is my best friend, Daine," he said, putting and arm around my shoulders. I flinched at his words as they penetrated me. I was just his friend? I breathed in his sent, hoping it would block out the smell of her, and make me calm down, it helped, only a little.
"Hello Daine, and Axel," she looked as if she was blushing but did not have the color. But she smiled weakly. I nodded in response.
"What else did you want to know about me?" Axel asked, sitting down with his back against the tree. She sat in front of him and I sat against a different tree across the clearing. Falling asleep was inevitable at the moment.
I ran, not wanting to look behind me. I could feel the heat of the fire, but not the heat of my family. All gone, my life, my home. I howled, a lonely song, with tears running down my wolf face. I tripped and fell down the mountain, getting caught in the brambles and underbrush. The snow didn't help at all. I came to a stop at the bottom and whimpered. I was really and truly alone. No Axel, no family, no life. I closed my eyes, wishing for a dark sleep, one that I won't wake up from. My breathing slowed and I began to calm down and fall asleep.
A howl ripped through the air, waking from my wished slumber. It sounded familiar, but how could it. Whoever it was called out again, it was. . .Axel! I slowly rose, only to find my left foreleg was broken. I howled back, to tell him where I was at. He knew, and I would wait.
Was Axel saving the rest of them? I feel terrible for leaving, not knowing~
"Daine, Daine. Can you hear me?" I felt his warm hand on my cheek and I leaned into it, tears running down my face. He picked me up and cradled me in his lap. "you're fine, it was just a dream. I'm here."
We stayed like that for what seemed like hours. I was paralyzed from that dream, it was so vivid and felt so real. "Daine, can you get up?" Axel asked in a whisper filled with fear. I looked up into his bright green orbs and nodded, not trusting my own voice. He stood up, me still in his arms, and set me down carefully on my feet. I wobbled a bit but I could stand.
We began walking towards home, slowly but surely.
Okay, I stopped it there, I had more but I thought, Oh, you guys could wait. I'm sure you can too. But please review, I like to know if you like/hate it. Tell me if anything might need fixed or not. Reviews are the best, they keep me going!! I love you all!!
