5. No Embry or Quil

Okay, so I know I made a really silly mistake in the last chapter

"So, Jacob, have you seen Embry lately, I haven't seen him anywhere." Embry looked back at me again. (It was really Quil talking.

So for all of my many mistakes, sorry, I don't check over my work, I depend on spell check, which doesn't catch that sort of thing.

Also, a fabulous reviewer asked me the one question I have been waiting to get asked.

Are Quil, Embry, Bella, and Jacob in the same age or grade?

The answer is that they are all freshmen at high school, but aren't exactly the same age.

Embry and Jake are a few years younger than Bella, but Quil is a couple of years older than Bella.

And as for the update speed, I'm going with short, quick updates and the occasional long, slow updates. (Like this one, but if you want to see what I've been doing go on . My pen name there is FreedonFlyer. Check out some of my little one-shots.)

(Wow that was long!) Enjoy!

I woke up and got ready with a quick shower and a breakfast consisting of eggs and toast. I said bye to Charlie, then walked over towards Jacob's house. He walked out when he saw me through the window and smiled, "Hey Bella!"

"Hi Jake!" I responded.

"Why are you up so early on a weekend?"

"Same reason your up."

"Really? Then you heard that Embry still hasn't come back home and when Quil went searching, he didn't return either?"

"Well, no." I admitted. Jacob grinned.

"Do you have any plans?"

"No."

"Good, then you're going to help me look for them."

Jacob and I got in my car and we drove around to people's houses asking if they would come with us and look for them. Many said no but we got Seth Clearwater to come with us.

We drove around town and through many streets. Eventually, we got out of the cars and searched in some alleyways and stores. Soon, it was late enough for lunch so we walked into a little sandwich place.

"Hey Mister Sandwich dude, has any Indians like us came here lately? Two of our friends have gone missing for a few days. "

"I can't say for sure but no. By the way, my name's Fred," Fred answered.

We ordered our sandwiches and ate them outside."

"I think I'm going to have to go soon. My parents want me back by three o' clock," Seth stated.

"Okay, let's just check out Forks first. It's really close by."

All of us got in the car and drove down to Forks. A few people waved, but the town was just really small. Seth pointed out a few places were they might have gone so we did a lot of walking.

"Hey! Person with the red shirt! Can I ask you something?" Seth called out to a boy. He had spiky blonde hair and turned around quickly to face us. As he eyed us his gaze stopped on me. Happily he walked over to Seth.

"What?" he asked.

"Have you seen two boys with russet skin like us walk by here lately?" Seth put on his detective voice.

"Nah," he looked back at me and winked, "See ya 'round!"

"I really should go back home." Seth told Jake.

"Sure. Bella and I can look around La Push by ourselves, right?" Jacob looked at me.

"Right!" I said cheerfully.

We drove Seth back, then parked the car in my driveway.

We walked around the beach and called their names, but still, we couldn't find them. Finally we decided to go in a forest that was nearby. As we wound their way deep into the forest we came across a huge brown wolf. It was even taller than Jake which was saying something.

"Um...Jake? I think we s-should go back now," I stuttered to say. We were both shaking.

"Y-you think?" Jake replied with fearful sarcasm.

Suddenly another wolf joined the first and we began sprinting back. Unfortunately, we not only got lost but the wolves were following us. Each of them had sorrow in their eyes. They howled in union and stopped following us. It wasn't until we had long passed the wolves that we came across both Quil and Embry.

"Quil! Embry! Where have you two been?" Jacob asked excitedly.

"Um...places," Embry replied.

They both looked at us with hard glances that were very serious. I had to look away. These were not the same people, they couldn't be. The Quil and Embry that we know are just way more...relaxed.

"Hey, Bella? Can I talk to you for a moment, alone?" Quil asked me with a still grim, but more relaxed face.

"Uh, sure," I replied, though I was startled by this.

He led me to a tree in the distance.

"What do you want to know?"

Okay, I lied.

This was a short chapter again but at least it's better than nothing.

Sorry.

So the next chapter will be dedicated to the person with the best Halloween costume.

Tell me what you're going to be in you're reviews (but also review it too) !

I'm going to be Esme and wear a velvet red hooded cape/overcoat thing and a black shirt and skirt. If I find out were to get the Cullen Crests in time I will also get one of those. (If you don't know what those are, look it up.) Bye!
