CHAPTER THREE- RUNNING

I woke up the next morning feeling completely reenergized. I looked at the clock to see that it was 6:30 AM.

I could go for a run. After changing into a pair of basketball shorts I ran outside and into the sounding forest. The forest was filled with trees. Their roots sticky out of the ground, but it didn't slow me down. I didn't trip as I jumped over the roots, and I dogged trees. It was very green here. In Forks, everything was green. So very green. I liked it. Studying the different shades of greens, it calmed me down, even while running. With my perfect eyesight it was easy to look at my surroundings while flying past them. The light greens, and dark greens, and the ones in between, flew past me. Running in this form wasn't as fun as my other form, but running was running. I'll take any chance I had.

Around 7, I started heading back home. I was deep in the forest, but I wasn't lost. It took me 15 minutes to arrive back home. My house was small. In the middle of a forest, other houses miles away. I was alone and away from everyone. It was a good and bad feeling. I wish Rhys was here with me. Living in the house with me. But he wasn't. And I needed to accept that.

***********************************************************************8

I slowed my run into a walk, as I entered the parking lot of Forks High. It was 10 minutes before school started; I had come early- thanks to my running. I saw Seth wave me down and I walked across the lot to the Cullens, Cameron, Jacob, and Leah.

"Hey," I said.

"I don't get you," Emmett said. "You have a very nice, very fast car, and you walk?" He asked.

"You can ride in your convertible but it's not the same as actually running. Feeling the wind hit your face and the ground below you. It calms me," I told him. Everyone stared at me. "What?" I asked.

"How old are you again?" Alice asked.

"Um… 17. Why?" I asked.

"You're… um… what's the word?" She asked herself. I smiled.

"Deep?" I asked. She pointed to me and nodded.

"Yes! That's it. Deep. Thank you," she said. I laughed at her and looked up at Seth. He was very tall- 6'6 or 6'7- and I was only 6'2, but I didn't mind. It felt like we had some type of connection. My heart sped faster, then it's already fast beat, when I saw him. His smile made it stop altogether. When we touched I shivered. His eyes were deep, like I would get lost in them. And he was incredible. He is so much like Rhys. Sweet, kind, funny, cute. Rhys would have liked Seth, I know he would. I could find myself falling for him, and I don't care. I don't care about the whole 'Don't Date' thing. I don't care about my past. I don't care about the people hunting me. I don't care about what I am. I only care about him.

He smiled back down at me and… well my heart stopped. Like always. I've known him for less than 2 days and I already love him. I didn't know what was going on and I didn't care. I just ached for his arms around me, like last night. I wanted his arms around me like Cameron's were around Leah. I wanted his lips on mine, like Emmett's were always on Rosalie's. I wanted his eyes always on me, like Edward's were always on Bella. I wanted to have an intense staring contest with him, like Jasper had with Alice. I wanted him to constantly smile big goofy grins, like Jacob does when he looks at Nessie. I wanted him to want me, like I want him.

And I was okay with that.

***********************************************************************8

"So you want to do anything today?" I asked Seth. We were in Biology and we had finished the lab quickly. He looked at me and as always my heart sped up.

"What happened to 'I don't date'?" he asked. I sighed.

"Oh, come on Seth. Please?" I asked.

"Fine. What did you want to do?" he asked.

"Walk home with me," I said. He smiled at me.

"So I walk you home, then walk all the way back to my house? I don't know," he said.

"Alright fine. Walk home with me. Then I'll grab my car. We can go for a ride and go to a diner for some food. Then I'll drive you home. How about that?" I asked him. He thought about it and then nodded. "Good. But your buying," I told him. He let out a laugh and I think I almost fainted.

***********************************************************************8

"So Leah's your sister?" I asked Seth. We were just leaving the parking lot now, on our walk back to my house.

"Yeah, sadly. Sometimes she is so annoying! Talking about Cameron all day long. I want to scream at her sometimes, you know?' he said.

"Actually I'm an only child." Lie. "I wouldn't know." Lie. "But Cameron and Leah are so cute together." Truth. "I wish someone would love me like that." I felt Seth's eyes on me and looked up. Our eyes locked and we stopped walking.

"Ryann," he said. I smiled at him. "I like you. A lot," he said.

"I like you to Seth," I whispered. His face lit up.

"Really? I thought with the whole 'don't date' thing, you wouldn't like me." His eyes fell to the ground as he stated walking again. I caught up to him.

"Wait Seth. That was just me, teasing you. I like you Seth. It's weird how much I like you. I've known you for less than 2 days and I feel like I love you. It's really weird Seth. I don't know what's happening," I confessed. We were walking down my long driveway by now. Another 10 minutes if we walked and I don't think I could deal with that. I grabbed his hand and started running at a human pace. He kept up easily. We were quite the rest of the way, which -thanks to the running- took only 5 minutes.

We arrived at my house and I let go of his hand.

"Wow," he said.

"What?" I asked.

"You have a house in a forest? Must be nice," he said. I nodded it was. "So where are your parents?" he asked. I froze, my hand half way turned the door knob.

"Oh… um they died in a fire a year ago. I stayed with my grandma but she died recently. I turn 18 in May so I didn't think living by myself would be bad." Lie. I've told him so many lies already. But it's for his own good. He would understand, right? I mean he hasn't even told me what he is.

"Oh, sorry," he muttered.

"Don't be," I said as I opened the door. "It wasn't your fault." He stepped into the house. My floor was all wood and the door opened up to my family room. It had a small couch and a recliner, along with a 30" inch TV. My kitchen was behind a wall that was inn the middle of the room. Making the kitchen pretty big. In between the wall to the kitchen and the couch was a hallway. At the end was my bathroom and next to that was my bedroom. My bedroom was kind of big, but plain. Cream colored walls, wood floor, a white bed, a desk, books, and CDS. Plain and simple.

Seth walked to the couch and sat down. "Why not eat here?" he asked.

"Let me guess," I said as I turned on the lights. I only had lamps and switches on the walls controlled them. "Didn't bring money?" I asked. He let out a laugh. It sounded amazing. Like he was an angel, my personal angel. "Why not?" I said. I walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. When I closed it Seth was standing there. I jumped, even though I had super hearing and herd him coming, I had to act human.

"Hey," I said. He smiled back. His white teeth shinning brightly. I let out a sigh.

"What?" he asked with a laugh.

"You smile a lot. You always happy?" I asked.

"Yup." He sounded like an excited puppy. I liked it. It matched his smell. Dog like. But it was a good smell. Like a dog that just got a bath. A bath filled with green apples. I walked closer to him, just to smell that amazing smell. I inhaled deeply. He was so, so close to me. I reached up and brought his face down to me. I planted a kiss on his lips, then let go of him. But when our lips met I felt an electric shock, like we really did have a connection. I blushed and turned around, embarrassed. But he caught my elbow and spun me around. He kissed me, gently. And I kissed back. Soon our hands were tangled in each others hair and we were kissing harshly.

***********************************************************************8

Seth and I made plans for tomorrow after school. I had just driven him home and I was driving back. My I-pod blasting music into my car. The streets were deserted, probably because it was eleven at night. But I felt like someone was watching me.

No. Your just paranoid, no one watching you.

I repeated it in my head over and over in till I reached my house. I got out of my car and started walking to my door when I heard twigs snapping near my house. I froze and snapped my head up to the forest. My eyes could sense movement in the blackness. I couldn't make out shapes but someone or something was out there. I took a step forward but then turned away.

Nothing was there. Just an animal. Just an animal.

I stepped inside my house and locked my door. I ran around the house, locking any window or door. It wouldn't stop anyone but it will slow them down. I went to the couch and pulled out my gun. Which was underneath the couch. The gun wouldn't kill the people hunting me but it made me feel safer.

I turned on the TV, just for the noise and sat on the edge of the seat. My fingers twitching with fear. Running for a year and not being found by anyone was a miracle. Especially with the people after me. I didn't close my eyes. I couldn't. If they found me when I was asleep I was in their hands, and that would not be good.

"Rhys!!!!!!" I yelled. I ran closer to the house but Peter caught me. He restrained me. "Rhys is in there! We have to get him!" I cried.

"No, Ryann. We can't," Peter said. I struggled in his grip.

"Rhys!!!!!!" I yelled again. I expected him to walk out of the house- completely fine, but he didn't. He never did and he never will.

I guess I fell asleep at some point. I woke up screaming, as I always did. I looked around and was happy to find that I was back in my living room. I got up to find my gun by the TV on the floor. The TV turned up loud and the only light in the room. I walked over to the gun picked it up and looked around for a good place to hide it.

The 30" inch TV was on a high black platform. I opened one of the cabinets that was filled with movies and placed my gun there. It wasn't as good as a hiding place as my last one, but it would be easier to get to.

The clock said it was 5:42 AM. I went to my closet and fished out some jogging pants. Deciding that another run would calm me down…

Sorry if it was a little late, the website wasn't exactally working for me.
