Hi everyone. sorry I haven't updated in while. I was too busy hanging out with the cutest boy ever. And he's mine. Yes, I'm dating my new kitten. ;) Oh, and in the previous chapter I was too lazy to do this, but the lyrics were to the song lonely girl by Todd Snider. Do you people want me to include the music that I blast when I write? If you do, tell me. I didn't go to school today cause I can barely talk, and am coughing horribly. Everyone should play 'charades' details-withheld and incogneto burrito style. incogneto burrito is my friend. Yesterday on the bus, I wasn't talking, so we were communicating through: aimless flailing, finger spelling, and universal sign language. I bopped her on the head, and it took her like 10 minutes to figure out I was saying 'Could've had a V8.' It was hilarious. I'm so happy, I have 3 or 4 reviewers, and 15 reviews. BTW eyes don't really have anything to do with this chappy, I just needed to have a title name. And also BTW, werewolves = werewolves, vampires = vampires. just so you nose. Everyone should read Dusk, I think. It's by pEaCe-LoVe-EdWaRd again I think. My kitten is purring up a storm right now, and I need to teach him that keyboards are not toys. It's taken me about 45 minutes longer than it should to write this.
DISCLAIMER: I am not an author, or an adult, I do not own a car or a home, I do not have an editor. All I have is a kitten. No Twilight for me. :(
Chapter 4, Eyes
Alex's POV
Yes, I walked around all day after that magical lunch period wearing a stupid grin on my face. What? He is absolutely amazing. I could spend all the time in the world with Seth. I can't help myself, he's just so easy to be around. And we're going to have lunch to together again Monday. I practically skipped home from the bus stop. "Mom, Dad, I'm home!" I called, not caring enough to try to hide my excitement for tomorrow. "Well someone is awfully chipper. Good day at school?" My mom asked. "Yup." She had no idea. She smiled her soft, sweet smile, the she only graced my dad with. "Well." I said. "Well what?" She practically blushed to her toes. "You know, I know. The only difference is that you know the details." I said, knowing she would spill. "Your father and I are going out on tomorrow, we don't want to leave you alone so you'll be going to the Clearwaters' house. You remember them, your dad's friends. I think they have a son about your age, Sam was it? No, that's not it, Seth, that's his name." Surely she had no idea the effect her words were having on me. She couldn't possibly know. I'm going over to Seth's house tomorrow! "Alright. Anything else I should know?" She looked at me with a half frown. "No, that's all." I could tell there was something she wasn't telling me. Oh well. I'll ask her later. "I'm going outside for a bit. Kay?" "That's fine, bring your cell phone, and call home if your going to be out fore more than half an hour, don't go to far away. You know, the usual stuff." "Yeah, I know mom. Bye." "Bye sweetie." Still she seemed preoccupied. I walked outside after ditching my school stuff in my room. I love the forest behind my house; it's so big and natural. I just feel safe there. I trounced around my favorite path that lead to an almost circular meadow. What was that?! Something is around. My senses were heightened. I felt almost painfully aware of everything around me in the meadow, until I saw what made the noise. At first I thought it was a horse. Then I thought it was a mammoth, because no horse it that shaggy, of huge. Then I realized it was a wolf, and that was when I got scared. I was scared until I ignored the advice of everyone who knew anything about being non-threatening to animals, and looked into the wolf's eyes. Then I noticed the wolf had Seth's eyes.
Seth's POV
I couldn't help it. My intent was as soon as I got out of school I dropped by my house, dropped my stuff, phase, and go looking for her house. Leah decided to have her own fun. "When do I get to meet Miss Alexandra?" She asked almost pulling off her innocent act. "First, it's Alex, not Alexandra. Second, never." I said irritated that she was slowing me down. "Someone's touchy." "Someone's being overly intrusive." I said imitating her tone. "Fine, go phase, I know you want to." Leah said, resigned now. "But I get to meet her. Wait a second. . . Is she the Henderson's kid?" Leah asked. " They're the ones who moved here in the summer, right?" "Yeah." Leah confirmed. "Then she is the Henderson's kid." "Yay! I get to meet her on Saturday!" "How in the world did you know about that?" Leah couldn't know. Could she? But how! " Know what?" Leah sounded innocent "That we're meeting up at First Beach on Saturday." "Ha! I didn't know that! You might have to cancel your plans." "Explain. Now." Why in the world would I cancel my plans? Leah can't make me. "Mom said this morning that the Henderson's kid was coming over on Saturday so they could go out to dinner." "Alex is coming over here?!" "That's right kiddo. Now go phase, don't let me take your mind of Alex" Alex. I get to go find Alex. I thought as I phased, not realizing the danger on thinking such things. Man, you are obsessed with Alexandra. "It's Alex." I thought corrected. "And you're no one to be talking Jacob. You're obsessed with Isabella." Bella. Not Isabella. "Annoying isn't it." Oh, shut it. I trundled around until I caught her scent, and followed it to a nearly circular meadow, and was surprised to find her standing in the middle of it. She looked scared. She's scared of you buddy. "Shut up, Jake!" I stared into the blue-green pools of her eyes, trying to tell her that I couldn't hurt her. Not her. She relaxed enough to step nearer and hold out her hand. I decided to have a little fun. As gently as I could I pushed her over and rubbed my head on her, well her general body area, since she's tiny compared to me. She laughed in a relieved way, and rubbed me behind me ears. Am I a creep for wanting to carry her somewhere private? Yes. "Oh god, not you too Quil." Enjoying your little date? "LEAH! I will personally kill you." For your information Mom doesn't know you imprinted. I can guarantee she'll be a hundred times worse that me. She could stay in the metaphorical dark, or someone could enlighten her. "You wouldn't." You sure about that bro? "Dear God! Is everyone against me today? What is with you people! Know what? I'm ignoring you all now." I concentrated on the gentle motion of Alex's hands on my back until a snap caught my attention. It was to far away for Alex to hear, and to light for it to be a werewolf. If it were any of them, I would kill them. Figuratively. I didn't have to kill anyone figuratively. It wasn't a werewolf, but it was someone supernatural. "Who are you? Why are you in our meadow?" Bella asked somewhat shocked. Alex responded with some questions of her own. "What do you mean 'our meadow'? Who are both of you? How did you both get here so quickly without me hearing something, or seeing something until you were right there?" Edward was quiet for a moment, and then said. "You should tell her. Does Sam know?" I rolled my eyes. Bella told Edward they should leave. "Who are you people?" Alex asked again. "I've never seen you around before, so you don't live here. Why are you here?" "I'm Edward Cullen, and this is Bella Swan, my fiancé. Who are you?" Edward said to Alex this time, not me. "I'm Alex, but you still haven't answered my other questions." Alex said, somewhat coldly. "Well, I called this our meadow because Edward and I are the only ones I thought knew of this place." Bella said, much calmer now. Edward must have said something. "Doesn't answer my main question." "And that is?" Edward said even though he probably already knew the answer. "Why are you here?" Alex said, her voice growing in force. "The same reason you are." "That's specific." Alex sounded absolutely venomous now. She's like a cat. I realized. She bristles up around people she doesn't trust. I had to do something to make her more comfortable. I stood up and stretched. She looked nervous, as if I would leave. This is better than soap operas. Jake, you realize that Bella is making my imprint feel threatened, at this point, I could claim instinct took over, and eliminate the threat. You wouldn't. Wouldn't I? I ducked down, and scooped Alex up onto my back. She seemed more comfortable there, so I sat down with her still on my back. " I've just remembered. You said 'You should tell her. Does Sam know?'. Why? You weren't Bella, if that really is your name, or me. Who were you talking to?" "Ah. . .Um. . . About that, Alex, we really have to go." Said Bella, slightly panicked. "Of course you do. That means I'll probably never see you again, and I won't get any answers. Nice to know you care so much." "Alex," Edward said, trying to be calm. If he hurts her, I don't know what I'll do but it probably involves flaming marshmallows. And large amounts of hummus. "I don't know when we'll see you again, but you should get your answers soon." Edward said, looking pointedly at me. "There you go again, as though you're not talking to any of us. When will I get answers, because right now you two seem pretty suspicious, and I don't trust you." Alex said, her voice like ice, cold and sharp. "That's nice, we have to go." Bella said, completely panicked now. "Bye now, see you never." Alex said with false enthusiasm, but they were already gone.
Edward POV
"She notices to much. Rather like you did, Bella." I said, after we left our meadow. How did she find our meadow? And why was she with Seth when she obviously didn't know he was a werewolf. "Does it matter? Once Seth tells her, we won't have to hide what you are." The beautiful angel before me said. "I guess your right. But she could tell we were different so quickly, how did she do that?" Then I realized my mistake. "Don't you know? Can't you read her thoughts?" "She's difficult. Like Charlie, partially shielded but there. I can get a general gist of what she's thinking, but not much. Alex is shielded more than your father, but not as much as you." "I see. We should talk to Seth. He needs to tell her. You should stay away from her. We don't know if you'll be able to control yourself with both of us there." My angel spoke again. "She smelled so good. Not better than you, but good in a different way." "I should go home." Why is Charlie so protective? "Or you could have a sleepover with Alice. It is Friday after all." I said, hoping my angel would stay with me. "Where's your phone?" I grinned.
I have an idea for another fanfic. (Shamanic Ninja, you owe me a cookie! and it's the story I wrote, but I'd replace Cody with Bells and throw Edward in somewhere.) If you want to read some of it, review and tell me you want to read it.
