Now, on to this chapter!
Disclaimer: Don't even start to say "You're so good; you must be Stephenie Meyer in disguise!!" If I was Stephenie Meyer, why would I ever be in disguise writing fan fiction about my own characters? It makes absolutely no sense! So if someone actually believes I am Stephenie Meyer or in any way own anything Twilight than they can just go along believing in that false knowledge. (P.S. You're all Stephenie Meyer in disguise in my opinion. :) )
Kathleen's POV:
Good; they thought I was angry and upset over the Volturi. I relaxed into Seth's arms, appreciating his warmth and love. Everyone else was now discussing among themselves while the Cullen boys were still interrogating Jane. I felt that maybe my foresight had been wrong for once.
I was soon proved wrong when the door opened and Embry's head appeared. "Hey, guess what-" Darn it, why did everything bad happen to me?
I quickly decided to listen in on the thoughts of this new boy while I attempted to move in front of Ebony and her line of sight but failed because of Seth's grip on me. The only choice I really had was to listen to her soon to be imprint's mind.
I quickly learned that he was someone I would approve of but that still didn't improve my mood. His name was Anthony, and was a cousin to the Clearwaters. He was a friendly guy who was quiet around anyone except his friends, who he would constantly tease. He was already pretty tall, about 6'4", and had only changed within the last couple of days. He had to choose between Sam's and Jacob's packs after everything had been explained, and had chosen Jacob's because the Clearwaters were in it and he thought it would be cool to see the vampires. He hadn't really paid attention to the whole imprinting thing, so he was sure to be caught off guard.
Ebony though had loved the idea of imprinting, to have your true love that easily. I knew for a fact that she would be thrilled.
I was correct about Anthony being caught off guard. He looked right up on cue into Ebony's eyes and softened immediately. Ebony stared back, her thoughts filled with joy and love. She knew immediately what had happened, and embraced it eagerly. I slouched back into Seth annoyed as Ebony - with no hesitation at all! - ran up to Anthony and hugged him. She could be so childish!
Anthony appeared slightly shocked at her openness but quickly hugged her back. He was imprinted to her now after all, and so if it made Ebony happy it made him happy. Embry, on the other hand, was staring, his conversation forgotten. Looking out of the corner of my eye I could see that everyone was now staring at the two in the doorway hugging each other.
The Cullens didn't gaze for too long at the two, soon occupying themselves with what they had been doing earlier, mostly talking among each other. The werewolves and Nessie were still however casting glances at them, obviously a bit shocked themselves.
"Ebony," I said quietly, feeling a bit embarrassed myself, "Calm yourself down and explain to that happy and shocked boy why you suddenly attacked him with your hugging."
Ebony blushed in response before explaining everything- and I mean everything; not just her reaction to him- to Anthony. She didn't even know his name for Pete's sake and she was being that open with him!
I started to reflect on that awkward position when I had yet another vision. It was also in the near future, probably within minutes if not moments considering the clarity of it. The vampires as usual were blurry; I ignored them and focused on the door. It seemed like the door was a big thing recently. The door slowly opened and a girl's face popped into the opening, looking around before spotting me. A big smile spread on her face as she turned back and started to wave frantically and other faces started to appear.
I shook my head, trying to clear my mind and think straight. Everyone's attention was now focused on me and I recognized that my eyes had been wide open the whole time. Everyone had noticed my eyes changing color and would have known that I had had a vision. I looked quickly towards the door and everyone's gazes followed mine. The door opened (wow, that was quick!) and the vision happened again, this time in real life. The first girl had shoulder length dirty blonde hair, bangs, and light blue eyes that were covered by simple glasses. She was pretty short and appeared slightly skinny. When her face reappeared I got good glimpses of the other's faces. Two were girls, one a gorgeous (no, not near as pretty as Rosalie) golden blonde with mid-length hair and icy blue eyes while the other was a stout appearing dark brunette with greenish brown eyes. The brunette was barely taller than the golden blonde, who was taller than the first girl by about half a foot. A third face was that of a short boy, barely shorter than the girl with the glasses. He looked cute in a way, dark brown hair slightly long for a boy and deep blue eyes observing the whole scene calmly while the others were chatting among themselves as quietly as they could. They all were about my age and I could tell they weren't normal.
As I observed them for a moment longer I tried to read their minds. I found I could hear a bit, but it was like wading through a dense fog; you didn't see a thought until you ran into it. I didn't try to listen for too long as I realized who and what they were and I was filled with mixed emotions.
By this time they had silently (other than the girls quietly talking) walked out of the doorway. I pointedly ignored the boy and ran over to the others. "Kaitlyn! Amelia! Madison!" I cried out in joy and shock as I pulled all three into a group hug. Kaitlyn (the one with glasses) grinned at me happily and eagerly returned my hug while Madison (the brunette) and Amelia (the golden blonde) were slightly more hesitant but seemed just as overjoyed to see me.
"Kathleen! You shouldn't have disappeared like that! We all were looking for you for days before we learned you were here." Kaitlyn said after we quickly pulled apart. She was still beaming and seemed relieved.
"Yeah Kathleen, don't ever do that to us again!" Madison agreed, giving me her scolding look. She couldn't keep it up though and a smile soon appeared on her face again.
"Forgetting someone?" The boy said with a bit of a rude tone. Kory was standing off to the side of the group of us girls while being as far away from Seth as he could get without making it obvious.
I glared at him in reply. "I don't think so." I said, making my voice hard to him.
Who are they? And why do you dislike the boy so much? I can't read their minds either. Edward thought to me. I glanced quickly sideways to see everyone else (even Ebony and Anthony) staring at us in obvious interest. I sighed inwardly.
I'll tell you later. Just listen for now. I thought back to him, and saw everyone else relax as he whispered just loud enough that his voice would carry to the others through the house's wall. Seth was nervous but still attempted to appear relaxed like the others. His thoughts were filled with worry for me while watching Kory intently from the corner of his eye. I let out another mental sigh. Stupid boy and having to come here too…
My friends and Kory had started to stare at me with a variety of expressions on their faces. I wondered why until I realized that when I was reading Edward's mind and replying to him that my eyes would have turned amber. "Don't ask." I muttered, hoping they got my hint and stopped right there.
Predictably, they didn't. What they were hinted them of what had most likely happened to me over the time I had last seen them, which was before I became the catnia.
"So, another stupid cat. I always hated cats." Kory said, giving me a glare.
"Kory! How rude. Apologize. Just because we're dognias doesn't mean that we insult others." Amelia demanded, setting her hands on her hips.
Madison chuckled. "Dragonnias are extremely composed compared to you two and we have well known tempers." She grinned at Kory and Amelia's insulted expressions, though Amelia's was a joking one.
"I could get eaten by Kathleen since I'm the birdnia and yet I'm not insulting her!" Kaitlyn said before recognizing how much the thing that she had just said did not make sense. "Anyway," she said quickly blushing, "You shouldn't be so rude to her."
"Don't start to gang up on me!! Jeez! You're lucky I even came along." Kory replied quickly, backing away from the threesome slightly. "You wouldn't have even found her if I hadn't been so good at following tracks."
"You know, you're saying all of this openly in front of vegetarian vampires, a half-vampire, and local shape shifters that change into huge wolves." I said, interrupting their argument. They all went silent, casting glances at the others.
"So that's what stunk so badly- bloodsuckers and some really sweaty wolves." Kaitlyn said matter of factly, causing everyone to laugh. Well, everyone except Kory and Kaitlyn. She looked confused for a moment before a slightly pouty look crossing her face. "Great. Just great. My bird genes have affected my already confused brain." She started to laugh along with us wiping the pout off of her face.
I saw her cast her gaze sideways for a moment, and tried to figure out what she was looking at. I discreetly followed her gaze and was surprised at who she was looking at until I read Embry's mind. He was trying to hide it but he had imprinted on Kaitlyn and Kaitlyn in turn had imprinted in our weird way on him. Great. He had a girlfriend; another person would be hurt by imprinting, like Leah. I gave my attention back to the others and Seth, laughing along with them and trying to keep my mind off of the imprinting situation.
"So, why did you suddenly disappear?" Amelia said after we all had had our share of laughing.
"Well, I'm still not sure about that detail… I just knew that at some point some vamp was on my tail, and I had to get you all off my tail so you wouldn't be discovered also." I continued on at seeing their confused expressions. "You may have not changed yet at that time, but the symptoms were pretty obvious. Anyway, by the time the evil vamps had found me I had thrown everyone else off my tail. Unluckily, the leader of the group, Aro, is able to read minds and along with the overwhelming powers of several others set off something in my head so I had amnesia."
"So miss 'I'm the catnia so I'm perfect' isn't so perfect after all." Kory said, a sneer on his face. "I knew it. You were an idiot before your transformation and now you're even dumber."
The result from the others was instantaneous. My three friends started to yell at him, the others stared at him madly, and Seth started to stalk towards him, growling. I sighed. Everyone was overreacting, which Kory wanted and excelled at causing.
"Everyone, please stop indulging him. He wants you to get mad. Now Seth, please come back over here and don't pay any mind to him. He's just a donkey." I smiled a bit at my use of creative words. I didn't like to cuss, so I tried other ways to get around it.
Kory was obviously used to this roundabout way, so he started to mutter and cuss under his breath at me. I just rolled my eyes. When he didn't succeed at his tricks he resorted to this to try to annoy and anger people. I refused to give him what he wanted. I focused my sight on Seth, staring into his dark eyes.
I had lost myself in them when I felt a blow land on my shoulder and turned to see a dog growling at me. Seeing as Amelia was still human, it had to be Kory.
I growled back at him, except for mine was a cat's growl. "You arse, you made me bleed! Outside, now. You don't do that unless you want a real fight you coward."
He growled back in reply, but it was obvious that he wasn't so happy after all. He stomped off dog style out the still wide open door. Kaitlyn and Madison were obviously watching with amusement while Amelia appeared embarrassed because of Kory's behavior. Everyone else just appeared confused and entertained.
I stepped out the door to see that he was already ready for the fight, appearing as a large (as in large normal, not like the Quileutes) wolf. I waited for everyone who wanted to watch to assemble either at the windows or outside before stating the rules. "Okay, now the rules. One, you stop fighting when one of the opponents collapses. Two, no attacking the bystanders. Three, no bystanders can help you. Four, no using any abilities other than your strength and other physical attributes. Five, you are not fighting to kill. If you aim for a spot that could kill the person you automatically lose the fight and others can interfere. Now, let the fight begin once I change and give a nod." At that, I changed into a tiger's form. I saw Kory shift uneasily. Good, he got that messing with me wasn't such a good idea. I waited a moment before nodding my head, and the fight begun.
Sorry this chapter is shorter than usual. I thought this was a good place to stop (especially since I was having trouble writing it since I have a bad writer's block) and it's an evil cliffy! Mwahahahaha, part one of my evil plan to take over the world has begun- have everyone hanging off a cliffy. :P I have only two weeks of school left in the school year. Sadly the last week is finals- the wonder of going to a private school. :) I've better stop typing now as it is 12:40 in the morning. I have a poll up on whose POV you think this story should be mostly from. Please vote on that and please review. Thank you for all the reviews! :)
