3. Legends of the Wolves
I made a little error that I'm pretty sure that no one noticed (it wasn't in any reviews at least) but in the editor's note for the second chapter I said that I would type up chapter two, but I already had. I meant chapter three, not two.
Also, with Quil's little crush on Bella...that is a major part in the story!! It's not about to disappear. Embry does not have a crush on Bella if anyone wants to know.
So, if anyone has any questions, just ask me in your reviews and I will try to answer them.
Keep writing reviews and I will keep writing and posting chapters!!
Enjoy! ;)
I walked with Embry over to Quil and Jacob who were in the class next to us. They both smiled at me—which Jake elbowed Quil for doing—and the four of us walked to my car. The whole way there Quil, Embry, and Jacob were joking around and everyone was laughing.
Once we were all in, I drove over to Embry's house first. He got out, smiled, and said, "Bye Bella, see you tomorrow!" and walked inside his house. Next to leave was Quil, who walked out without a word, apparently, deep in thought.
"Do you mind if I come over? You just got here and I haven't really spent much time with you yet. I bet you've forgotten all of our legends. Tonight my dad's having a campfire with everyone on the resort and retelling those legends. Maybe we could hang out and do homework at your place, then go to the campfire together," Jake explained.
"Sure, it sounds fun," I replied, putting on a smile.
We went inside the small house and sprawled out on the living room carpet. If we needed help we just asked each other and most of the time had it answered. By the time we finished our homework it was time to head down to the beach. Jacob had to go early to start the fire.
"Hey Bella," he said, "have you ever seem a driftwood fire?"
"Never," I replied.
Jake smiled hugely as he collected pieces of driftwood in the fire pit in the middle of the logs we sat on the first day. "Good. Watch this!"
Jake set the driftwood ablaze and the fire was blue. I just looked at it in disbelief. It was absolutely amazing!
"Pretty cool, huh!" Jake said happily.
"Very!" I answered still watching the fire, "How does that happen?"
"It's the salt that soaks into the wood from the sea."
Everyone started to gather and Jake and I sat down next to each other. Charlie wheeled Billy down. Charlie went back to the station to do a night shift and left Billy to begin his story. It went like this...
There are legends, some dating from the flood where our ancestors tied their canoes to the tops f the tallest trees to survive.
Another legend is claims that we descended from wolves and that wolves are still our brothers to this day. There are also those of the cold ones as old as the wolf legends, and some more recent. According to legend my grandfather knew them. He was the one to make the treaty that keeps them off our lands, a treaty that still remains to this day.
The cold ones are the natural enemies of the wolves that turn into men, like our ancestors. Once, a group of cold ones came to our territory claiming to my grandfather that they were not dangerous to the tribe and that they hunted differently than the rest. So my grandfather made a truce with them. If they kept off our lands we wouldn't expose them to the pale-faces.
There is always a risk for humans around cold ones, sometimes they might get too hungry to resist human blood, even if they don't regularly hunt them.
Billy went on with other legends about our ancestors. I was regretting not bringing a jacket: it was getting cold. I looked over at Jacob who was putting on his coat. He saw me, then wrapped it around the two of us. I snuggled into his chest.
Later I felt my body leaving the ground. My eyes opened wide. Jake was carrying me back to his house. I wondered why. I heard him say to his dad, "She fell asleep, and I'm not sure where her keys are. I'm going to take her over to our house to spend the night." Then, I let my weariness take over me again and fell back asleep.
Okay, so how was it?
I recently read a fanfic where they mentioned reviewers' name in their author's note if they answered questions that they ask. I decided to start doing that too!
I'll start off with an easy question, from which book in the Twilight series did I write the legend from?
Okay, review and tell me the answer and I'll include your name in the author's of chapter 4!
Keep reviewing and I'll keep posting the chapters!
Bye. ;)
