Unexpected Visitors

"JACOB BLACK! How dare you?!?!?!" She exploded. Jacob cringed.

"Alice! How's my favorite little person?" I would have laughed if I wasn't so scared for Jacob.

"You took my car!!!"

"So he did steal it." I heard Lizzie mutter under her breath.

"I-I-I" I Jacob stuttered, looking terrified. I heard Lizzie laugh.

"I'm sorry, Alice." Jacob finally got it out.

"Oh no. You aren't sorry yet. You will be sorry after carrying my bags when I go shopping for several weeks." Alice had a sly smile across her face.

"I guess that's fair."

Alice held her hand out for the key. Jacob gave it to her. He started to make his way to the car, but Alice stopped him.

"If you think you are getting in my car, you have gone crazy. You're running."

Jake's eyes narrowed but then he sighed and slunk off into the trees.

"He's really running?" Lizzie asked with her eyebrows raised.

"Yep." Alice answered. "By the way, who are you?"

"Oh this is Lizzie. Lizzie, this is Alice. She's coming to work on homework."

"She is?"

"Uh huh."

"You are in so much trouble. But anyway, lets get going."

All three of us got in the car and sped home. Jake was waiting in the garage.

"How did you get home before us?" Lizzie asked.

"Oh, um, I know a short cut." Jacob answered. "But guess what Nessie!" Jacob suddenly looked very excited.

"What?" I answered.

"We have visitors." A mischeivious glint appeared in his eyes.

"Who?" Just then a pretty figure walked through the door into the garage.

"Hey, Taylor." Jacob greeted her. "Nessie, this is Taylor. She's a new member of the, um, gang up in La Push."

"Hi Nessie." She stuck out her hand for a handshake. As soon as I felt the unnatural warmth coming from her skin, I knew she was a werewolf.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you. Oh, this is my friend Lizzie."

"Hi, Lizzie." They shook hands too. Then, we walked into the house. I turned to Jake

"Well she seems nice. But why did she visit?"

"We were friends before she changed. She must have missed me."

"Ha ha. Don't count on it." I heard Taylor yell across the house.

"Yeah not really. She came with some others who did miss me." Before I could ask who, two insanely warm arms picked me up and swung me around.

"Nessie!!!"

"Oh my goodness! Embry! What are you doing here?"

"What? I can't visit my best friend and the girl he can't shut up about?" I blushed.

"Thanks, man. I appreciate you telling her that." Jake said sarcasticly.

"Anytime."

I heard another familiar voice laugh that I hadn't heard in a long time.

"Quil! Oh my gosh! You came too!"

"Course I did, baby." He gave me a hug also, though not quite as enthusiasticly as Embry.

"Oh you guys, this is Lizzie."

Quil smiled and shook her hand.

"It's nice to meet you." He said.

"You too." She turned to Embry. But he didn't offer to shake her hand, or talk to her or do anything. He just stared. Stared with a strange emotion on his face. Just then, Taylor walked in, saw his face, and grinned.

"Oh, no he didn't!"
