Jacob led me outside, where the entire pack was, and in the middle of them all, was a mini fridge.
Seth starts by saying, "Ok Bella, the game is simple; you simply phase, and take 5 bottles of the stuff in the fridge. You have a bag around your neck carrying all of the bottles but one. That one is in your mouth. You try to find as many people as possible and squirt them with the substance in the bottle. Once you squirt them, you get a point. The person with the most points at the end wins. Bella, for this round, you have pink. Embry-Blue, Quil-Green, Leah-Purple, Sam-Orange, Jacob-Yellow, Paul-Red, Jared- Black, Collin- Gray, Brady- Turquoise, and I get White. Ok, everyone phase now. I'll hand out the bottles.'
"Wait, question. What is in the bottles?" I ask
"That would be spoiling the game. Duh." Paul says, with that, I know everything tone.
"Follow me," Leah says pulling on my arm. I follow as she commands until we're behind Jacobs's house.
"Um, why are we back here?" I ask.
"Do you really want to strip it down in front of them? They don't care, they're guys, but I hate having them thinking about..." She shudders, "Anyway, it's just better back here." And with that she starts to puller her shirt off. I do the same, and when we're done, we phase and turn the corner to Jakes house. Bad timing. They were still changing. Leah just laughs as they quickly phase but I feel uncomfortable
Don't worry Bella, you'll get used to it. –Leah
Bu it wasn't all bad. At least I got to see Jacobs… anyway, so Seth is handing out bags with the bottles in it. He puts it around my neck and I stuff my snout into the bag and pull the bottle into my mouth. It's easy to carry, but the game is just… weird. I don't know why we can't just do this in human forms.
"Ok everybody, you can go anywhere, but you have to stay in Washington. Those are the only rules. I'll join in a minute. GO!" screams Seth when he had all of our attention.
I'm really not sure what to do. I can here everyone's mind escaping into the forest or squirting someone with a colorful substance. I follow their lead and run into the forest too. I hear howls in the distance, but mainly I just here on and on with the chattering. Quil this, Leah that, Sam this. It's just so annoying!
Bella, we hear everything you think. It's not that bad. –Jared
Look, I haven't even been a wolf for a day, and you expect me to just get in with it? –Me
Yes. –Paul
Oh, cut her some slack, not like you guys were any better on your first day. –Jacob
Oh shut up. You're just soft because you imprinted on her. –Paul
Well at least I'm not covered in yellow substance! –Jacob
I'm not covered in, SHIT! GET IT OFF! -Paul
Don't be a jerk in a big meadow while playing substance. –Jacob
So that's what this game is called? Substance? –Me
Yeah. Isn't it great? –Seth
I guess… -Me
Oh my god! She hasn't squirted anyone or been squirted yet! Get her! –Embry
Embry if you even- but I couldn't finish. I was too busy being squirted with blue substance.
EMBRY! Oh, now your all gonna get it. –Me
Aw shit. –Embry as I squirt him with pink substance.
Ha! Anyway, how long does this game go on? –Me
Until everyone surrenders but one. He/she is the winner. –Leah
Yeah, one time we played this game for 5 days. It was epic! –Quil
What was the shortest game? –Me
An hour. We were all lazy that day. –Brady
Hmm, so how long do you figure this one is gonna be? –Me
Well, we have a new player, so maybe we can beat the record for the longest game. –Collin
Suddenly, I see a rainbow covered wolf come out of the forest coming towards me.
Hey Jake –Me
Hey, you really need to join in. You're the only one not covered in substance. –Jake
No, Embry squirted me earlier, but ran away cause is a chicken. –Me
Hey! You're gonna get it Swan! –Embry
No, that's not what I meant. Normally by this time, everyone is squirted with at least 5 colors.-Jake
And with that, I was squirted with more blue substance. Thanks Embry.
Hey, Jake? You're missing a color? –Me
Where? –Jake
Right there! –Me and now he has pink substance all over his nose.
Oh…There…hey Bella? –Jake
Yes? –Me
Can I tell you a secret? –Jake
Yeah, anything-Me
BWAAAAAA! –Jake that's the scream in my head while I'm squirted with yellow substance.
EEEEEK! –Me I start running in the forest and I bump into Brady. On instinct I squirt him with substance.
SHIT! –Brady and he's running far away from me now. This is how the rest of my day goes. When it finally reaches night time, I'm really tired.
When do we sleep? If we can't sleep than I'm gonna give up. I'm so tired. –Me
Whenever you feel like you need to sleep you just tell everyone that, phase, and sleep somewhere. We don't squirt each other when in human forms.-Sam
Whoa, I almost forgot that Sam was even playing. Well, whatever. I phase, out my clothes on, climb a tree, and try to get comfortable. It actually is pretty comfortable up here. And thanks to being a wolf, I'm not cold either. But if there is any emotion I feel right now, then I feel like Katniss. I'm up high in a tree trying to sleep, knowing that there are people out there looking for me so that they can beat me in the game…
My eyelids start to droop, and my mind begins to start a dream, and the last thing I feel in the night is a pair of warm arms wrapping around my waist…
Ok, to crazeebeautiful, yes, Jacob accepts the imprint, so yeah, it's a double imprint. Flordiagirl13, I love your ideas, and I'll try to use some of them, but I'll do it over a bunch of chapters. Anyway, does everyone understand how to play substance? I know, it's really weird, but if it was like too confusing or something, I could tell you how to play again…Review please!
