A/N: Next day, and I still can't stop writing! Lissy and I are talking so much on this chapter about everything, so most of our arguments in this chapter had probably happened and I just set them as A.J and Lissy's. I feel insanely smart for doing that. -Insert smiley face here- R&R and enjoii!
The Adventures of Lissy and A.J
Chapter 2:
Treaty Line
Twilight
A.J started freaking out, and Lissy calmly suggested for her sit on the ground because her pacing was giving Lissy whiplash. A.J was too foshizzled to retort, so she sat and knotted her fingers in her hair, rocked back and forth, murmuring unintelligible things under her breath. Lissy's thoughts were spinning around, too, but she was calmly sorted them through, giving them answers reasonably and stacking the others in the back of her mind so she wouldn't bring them up and creep her out, like A.J wasn't doing. She lacked the responsibility and brain to do what Lissy was doing while Lissy had a bigger peanut-sized brain. A.J's was a very tiny peanut brain.
Actually, Lissy wasn't positive if she had a brain at all. Maybe it was in there, but had cobwebs and dust all over it with an out of order sign on it, like in that one SpongeBob episode.
"Okay." Lissy's one-worded sentence wasn't caught by A.J, and she kept up the rocking and muttering to herself, showing signs of insanity but Lissy already knew A.J was insane.
She knew that from a long time ago where A.J proved to her that sanity and A.J don't mix as she ranted to Lissy times ago about orange juice and it's pro's and con's when they took it out of the fridge one day after having a sleepover, and the con's won out and A.J has hated orange juice ever since, but of course, Lissy made A.J sit down and have a glass, which created the spatula war, since it was the closest thing that A.J could grab to block the orange juice cup and Lissy.
They spent the next few hours of the day that day ever so long ago cleaning up the shards of broken glass and cleaning the orange juice spills from the floor…and the door…and the walls…and the ceiling…and the rug…and the couch, and many, many other places where the orange juice splashed over the edge of the cup and spilling.
Lissy made another half-assed attempt to catch A.J's attention with one word. "Pickles."
A.J responded, but definitely not in the way Lissy wanted, and her reply only added to her insanity and the urge to put A.J in a mental hospital. But Lissy couldn't do that to sweet-ish little A.J with the long brown locks and bangs covering her used-to-be green eyes and now red ones. Lissy couldn't put her in a mental hospital with a bunch of freaks that didn't know who the fuck they were and were cock-eyed and who rather eat a wall than regular food, though Lissy was sure A.J would meet her new friend in there and would fit in perfectly. She just couldn't do that to her.
"Cheese," A.J spoke, her voice filling the air, half-crazed with missing Brady and being so fucking close to him and not being able to see him. "Oh, cheese and pickles with…um…deviled eggs, ah! Devil eggs, oh, bad, bad, eggs. Naughty eggs, get the whips and chains!" She laughed manically, her head tilting back and hands in claws as she tore them down her granite-hard face, looking like she would peel the skin if she pressed any harder off her face and expose her flesh and bone. "S,S,S and M,M,M! Sticks and stones may break my bones but chains and whips excite me!" Her voice was high and off-key as she screamed the lyrics to a popular Rihanna song. Her voice trailed off into a whimper of some sorts as she cried out her wanting of Brady and missing him terribly.
"I want to see him, Lissy." She crawled over to Lissy and used her hands to hold on to her shirt collar. "Let me see him."
Lissy's hands went up in the air, a sign of surrender as A.J's crazy eyes met hers, one eye twitching, a small little movement at the bottom of her eye in quick, little, moves. "We'll see them, okay?" Her voice was soft and caring as she pried A.J's hands off her collar softly and watched as A.J slumped a little, a small smile on her crazed face as the scary melted slowly away as Lissy promised that A.J will see her beloved Brady.
Lissy pulled on A.J's wrist, guiding her to the treaty line swiftly with a few stumbled from A.J. Lissy wiped some drool from the corner of A.J's mouth and pulled her to La Push, passing the treaty line. The moment they stepped on La Push's land, a large mouth filled with vampire cutting sharp teeth snapped at them and almost ripped Lissy's foot off. A.J jumped and screamed and danced to the opposite side of the treaty line with Lissy in tow as the other werewolves appeared. A.J and Lissy's focus was on the large werewolf that tried to attack them – the big, black one that was taller than the two other werewolves known as Sam, and A.J and Lissy's brows furrowed. Where was the rest of the pack?
Then it all clicked as Lissy and A.J stood away from the wolves who were growling at them. They were in Twilight, literally, and Jacob and Quil and Embry and all the rest haven't turned into wolves.
Holy shit. Holy shit. Oh, my god. Holy fuck. Fuck, shit. Oh, my god. Of course A.J's thoughts would be so explicit. Then slowly turned down a cleaner lane, but she snuck in a few curse words in there every once and awhile as she used her Twilight knowledge to sort through everything. Brady and Colin won't morph into werewolves until Eclipse, and scanned through the movie, which she had seen lots of times, to confirm her thoughts.
Shit. That means we can't go near them in our vampire form. What she knew about werewolves was that they only turned if they were crossed with the scent of a vampire, then the transformation starts with the growth spurt and warm skin. Brady and Colin weren't supposed to turn until Eclipse, and A.J was determined to keep Twilight, Twilight.
"Lis, turn us human," A.J whispered. Lissy looked at her out of the corner of her eye, and nodded. Tingles erupted in A.J, and her skin tinged slightly pink and peachy but still ever-so-pale, as the blood flowed through her veins. She flexed her fingers and curled her toes and rolled her neck, Lissy coping her movements. A.J stepped forward as Lissy watched.
She held up the peace sign with her fingers. "We come in peace."
"Oh my god, shut up!" Lissy hissed as she slithered in front of A.J, hip-bumping her away from the front of the pack. She apologetically turned to the pack. "Sorry. She's stupid." Lissy expected a defensive reply behind her, but surprisingly, all she got from A.J was a shrug and an agreeing nod as her lips twisted to the side, thinking of the stupid things she'd done.
"But we really mean no harm," Lissy continued and A.J waved her two fingers in the peace symbol behind Lissy. "We're vegetarian." She realized they might not know their inside term for how they fed and elaborated. "We only drink animal blood, but we can turn ourselves human. It's just nice sometimes to be inhumanly beautiful and invincible." She flipped her hair over her shoulder and grinned at them, stunning them with her human beauty for a moment. Sam looked at her for a moment, and then A.J, as if saying something.
"We're human now, Sam, so you might want to transform back into a human," A.J piped up and Sam gracefully slid behind a tree and transformed. He came out, buttoning up his jeans, and A.J skipped up to Lissy's side.
"How did you know my name?" Sam asked immediately with caution in his voice and A.J frowned at her mistake. Lissy covered.
"We saw the Cullens on the way here. They informed us of your pack." Lissy nodded towards the two other wolves. "Paul, Jared," She said in greeting. A.J waved, and Paul bared his teeth while Jared paced. A.J frowned at the hatefulness that Paul and Jared had towards them. So, she walked to the edge of the treaty line and sat, and smiled at the pair.
"Ohai. I'm A.J, I'm fifteen, and I was a vampire about twenty seconds ago. But now I'm not. I'm human." She smiled again, softer, and began to talk to the wolves to get them to at least like her a little, because she missed her friendships with the pack, and it hurt her to see them hate her. She made her goals to become besties with the whole pack before they turned into wolves so they wouldn't completely hate her. It seemed like a good plan.
"We're no danger to anyone at all, and we're human, so could we please be let on to the reservation at times? We could set up times we could come and go with you," Lissy negotiated with Sam. Sam frowned.
He got that they were no danger and turn themselves human, probably because of their special ability like how one of the Cullens can read minds, but he noticed their eyes were red while the Cullens had a golden yellow color. Were they lying to sneak their way on the reservation and kill off his people? He pointed this out to Lissy, and she quickly came up with an excuse.
"Being a vampire is a curse in another vampire's eyes and to you and your pack," she worded carefully, not saying it was a curse in her and A.J's eyes, "so we stay human as much as possible. Our vampire forms are frozen in time, so when we switch back, our eyes are the same newborn color they were when we first turned. Did I mention we both never harmed one human? Well, except for A.J, but that was before she was turned." Lissy chuckled. "And, of course, I had my fair share of fights before I was changed. But the funny thing is that I never got into a fight, or any trouble, before I met A.J." She glanced over at A.J who was talking softly with the wolves, capturing their attention and making them slowly warm up to her.
Sam glanced over at Lissy's companion. "She doesn't look like much," He commented at her soft expression, small size, and her straight blonde hair that A.J had dyed herself, and did a damn good job if she said so herself.
"Don't judge her on her height. When she wants to be, she's a five-foot fury," Lissy warned softly with a laugh and looked back at Sam. "So what about that deal? We promise to stay human, and if you'd like, we'd stay as a vampire for a little with the Cullens working on making our eyes golden and strengthening our ability to be a vampire around humans." Lissy didn't think that was necessary, but whatever. She just wanted to see Colin.
"Why are you fighting so hard to get on the reservation?" Sam asked.
"Why are you fighting so hard to keep up off of it? We're harmless. If you feel safer on monitoring us for a couple days or weeks while we're here just so we can prove to you that we don't hurt a single thing, you can. We won't mind," Lissy offered simply. Sam wavered, and Lissy continued. "We're human. There's blood flowing through our veins and a want for food, not blood. Why would we even want to kill a human?"
Sam nodded. "I don't see a reason not to let you on. You do know the treaty we have with the Cullens?" Since they obviously know everything about everyone from the Cullens, they should know about the treaty.
Lissy nodded vigorously. "We'll stand by that, too," She promised her word, and ultimately A.J's, but she knew her buddy wouldn't have a problem with the terms. If she did, she would just have to bring it up with Sam, anyways.
A.J twiddled a flower in between her forefinger and her thumb as she rambled on about her life to the wolves, who now were lying down, head on their paws, listening and warming up to A.J as she got lost in her story. At least Jared was, while Paul was lying down behind a tree, still wary of the beautiful vampire.
"A.J?" Lissy came up to where A.J was sitting and A.J looked up at her, plucked the flower from the ground, and offered it to Lissy. She smiled and took it. "Come on. Sam's letting us come on La Push any time we want as long as we're human. We'll also have to stand by the treaty, but that'll be no problem."
A.J nodded in agreement and stood. Jared hopped to his feet in response, because even though he was starting to warm up to her, she was still a vampire. She grinned and, after a second, Jared's tongue hung to the side as he grinned wolfishly back at her and stepped back to let them through. Her charm led them through and Lissy smiled happily at A.J.
"To the beach?" A.J suggested and Lissy walked by her side.
"Yeah. We haven't been there in forever," Lissy smiled.
