Lizzie POV (Got To Be Sneeky)
"Come on Will, please," I begged.
"No. Nope. Not gonna happen," Will refused. I crossed my arms and huffed. Well poo on him. I don't get what the big deal is. All he has to do is pretend to my legal guardian. Not that hard. Besides I really need that pass-port. How else am I going to get to Italy? Its not like he looks his age. He may be only sixteen but ever since he became "one of them" he looks eighteen or nineteen. So I really don't get the problem here.
"Why not?" I whined.
"Because it won't work. Uncle Jake will find out sooner or later. Remember he can read my mind," he said pointing to his head. Hm. He did have a point there.
"Well then you can just not phrase when he is?" I said weakly. He gave me the no face.
"No, means no Lizzie," he said sounding a bit mad. I sighed. I better shut up before he blows up. Stupid short temper.
"Fine! Be that way! I'll just Seth," I said with attitude. He gave me a puzzled look.
"Uh, you can't, remember? Your not aloud to see him. Wait how do you know him?" he said sounding all so bossy.
"MSN, duh! I talk to him all the time. See Dad said I couldn't speak to him or see him. He said nothing about MSN and texting," I said as if it was a fact. I still don't understand why Dad won't let me see him. He seems like such am awesome guy. I almost saw him one day when I was about seven years old.
It was a warm sunny day. Claire was outside with me, drawing pictures with chalk. Daddy was out on patrol. And Claire said she would babysit me.
The Claire's cell started ringing. She looked at it and answered it. I knew it was Quil because she had that smile on her face.
"I'll be right back Lizzie, OK?" Clarie said.
"OK. Tell Quil I said hi," I smiled. She nodded and headed for the woods. Then I was alone. I started humming a tune as I waited for her return. After awhile I got bored, so I took my bike for a ride. I started down the trail me and my cousins made in the woods. I didn't even think of going slow. Soon enough my front wheel hit a root and sent me flying. I blacked out for a few minutes.
When I opened my eyes I felt tears built up in them. It hurt so much. I looked down and saw blood gushing out of my white skin. I screamed as loud as I could. I couldn't stop crying. Through the blurriness I saw something sandy coloured move in the woods. Now I was getting scared. All I wanted was my Daddy.
"Da-da-da-daddy!" I screamed. I saw a flash in the woods and then I saw barefeet standing in front of me. They weren't my Daddy's feet. Or anyone I knew. I was about to look at the strange man in the eyes, but then I heard barking and paws pounding. Then they stopped. And the strange man started to walk backwards.
"Lizzie!" I heard someone yell. I turned my head and saw Daddy running towards me. I still couldn't stop crying, even though I was so happy to see him. But luckily I found my voice.
"Daddy! Help! I hurt!" I cried. And soon enough I was in his arms. He hugged me tight. I wiped my eyes and saw that everyone was here. I sniffled and tried to stop crying.
"Paul, Embry, take Lizzie to the hospital now! Her cuts are quite deep and her breathing is unsteady. I need to talk to Seth. I'll come after," Daddy sternly demanded. They nodded and Uncle Paul took me in his arms. As we were leaving, I could hear Daddy yelling at Seth.
"I thought I made it clear that you weren't allowed to come close to my daughter. You can see her when you imprint. I didn't want to do this but I'm going to have to order you to stay away from her," Daddy said strictly.
"I'm so sorry Jake! But I just wanted to help her. C'mon what would you do if you saw a little girl crying and bleeding? It was an instinct," Seth said quietly. Well it seemed quiet because we were getting farther away now.
That night I tried to imagine what he looked like. And why Daddy was yelling at him.
"Lizzie! Hello is anyone home?" My cousin Billey asked as he shook me.
"Hm?" I said as I was pulled back to reality. He sighed.
"I said, I'll pretend for you. Now that I am a part of the pack, I look eighteen. See I'm not going to be a party pooper like Will. So when are we leaving?" he repeated. Yes! Atleast someone is on my side.
"Yay! Your the best. actually can we leave right now?" I asked. As Will glared and rolled his eyes. Billey and I stuck out our tongue's at him and he lefted the room.
"Sure! But I'm driving!" Billey said. I just laughed at his excitment.
---
"I can't believe they bought it!" I said as we walked to the parking lot.
"Haha, yeah. Ahaha, we make great partners in crime," he replied. Then offered a high five. I accepted his offer. I sighed happily and pulled out my pass-port. They told me I couldn't smile, so I look kinda dead in this picture. Like some sort of stalker. I looked at the time and it was 7:47pm. I told Dad I would be home at 9:00pm.
"Hey, looks like we have some time to kill. So do you wanna go to the cliff at the beach?" I asked Billey. He nodded and took a turn, towards the beach.
When we got to the beach parking lot, I got out of the car and headed for the woods. Billey locked the truck and followed.
"Wanna race?" Billey asked.
"Sure, ready? Go!" I yelled and started to run.
"Hey! Cheater!" I heard Billey yell from behind me. I laughed and kept running. I love to run. I feel so free, and I swear I get faster everyday. I felt something brush against my shoulder; I looked and saw a huge maroon coloured wolf. I shook my head at his huge wolfy grin. He laughed and ran ahead.
"You cheater! You know thats not fair! I can't out ran a wolf," I complained as Billey's laugh echoed through the trees. Stupid wolf. The forest started thinning out and I could see the cliff coming into view. Billey was out of sight. Probably getting changed. I slowed down and jogged up the cliff. When I got there, I saw Will with his back to me.
"Hey-oh," I started but then saw a girl in front of him. Whoops! Will sighed and turned around.
"Looks whos back," Will said as the girl stepped into view. Hey! I know her! That's Katie, Kelsey's seventeen year old sister.
"Yeah. They were totally fooled. I have all I need in the truck. So why didn't you tell me you were dating Katie?" I asked. Katie gave Will a puzzled look. Then he whispered something in her ear. She nodded and let it go. I heard foot steps and turned around to see Billey.
"Hey are we just going to stand around here? Or actually do something?" Billey asked. I smiled and started walking down to where the beach is. At the sametime Billey took of his shirt and ran off the cliff. I shook my head and sat on the warm sand. I heard footsteps approaching me as I laughed at Billey's cannon ball.
"Hey," a famillar voice said from behind me. I turned around and saw Ethan looking so dashing in that white tee. I smiled at him and he smiled back and took a sit beside me.
"Hello stranger," I replied smiling. He laughed and took my hand in his.
"Sorry I wasn't around. I went to Pheniox for a couple of days to see my nephew. Anyways where have you been hiding? I was looking for you all day yesterday. Thank God I found you today because I was starting to go crazy," he smiled showing his pearly whites. My heart melted and all I could think about was on how cute that sounded.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I've been busy. And I have to tell you something," I said quietly.
"Shoot," he encouraged.
"Well you see, I'm sorta leaving on Monday," I whispered.
"Where? Why? How long?" he questioned sounding worried.
"To Italy, to visit my mom. At most a month," I think. I should have added.
"And your leaving tomorrow? This is your last day?" I nodded. "Well then, I guess I should make the best of it," he smiled. He looked at me intensely in the eyes and I could feel him leaning closer. I knew where this was going. Breathe Lizzie, Breathe. He is going to kiss you. Eeeeee! Calm down now. Keep your cool and go with the flow. Now his face was just inches away from mine. I could feel his breath on my face. I tilted my head as he cupped my face with his right hand. His other hand was beside me for surport, so wouldn't fall on me. It's not like I would care if he did. Jeez, Lizzie! Control yourself. Or atleast try. He closed his eyes and so did I, then I felt his warm lips press up against mine. Finally! Our lips moved in sync. My hands traveled up to his neck and got tangled in his light brown hair. I could feel his surporting hand giving in and I was almost lying completely on the sand. All of the sudden we had freezing cold water poured on us. It both took us by surprise. I fell back and Ethan feel on top of me. A scream escaped my lips. The Ethan somehow got beside me. I looked up and saw Billey and Will towering over me.
"What the heck is your guys problem?" I yelled standing up. Ethan was already up and came beside me.
"Just because Uncle Jake isn't around doesn't mean you can get away with anything," Will said. I glared.
"And to keep the beach G rated," Billey mumbled.
"Since when did you guys start caring about what I do?" I asked wearily.
"Since you started having guys hovering over you," Billey answered glaring at Ethan.
"Will you excuse us for minute?" I asked looking at Ethan. He nodded, and walked off. "If you guys bother us again I will tell your parents about your little get away last year," I whispered. They looked at eachother wide-eyed.
"Fine but you have thirty minutes," Billey said.
"And we will come and get you, when it is time," Will said. I glared and they walked bac to the cliff.
"Am I gonna die?" Ethan asked while wrapping his arms around my waist from behind. I leaned back and I felt his bare chest. He must have took off his wet shirt.
"Nope. I wouldn't allow it," I said turning around.
"Good. Wanna go for a swim?"
"Uh, it is really cold this time of night," I shivered. This wet shirt was really bugging me.
"I'll keep you warm," he whispered in my ear. I sighed. How can I say no to him? I gave in and took of my wet shirt and jeans, so that I only had my bathing suit on.
After about twenty five minutes, we came out of the water and stood inside a cave on the cliff. It started to rain and I ran out into it. I love the rain. Ethan followed me and soon enough we were kissing again. I can't believe I am having a "notebook moment". And soon enough five minutes later Will and Billey showed up. Just like they promised. I said good-bye and found my clothes to put them on, Then headed home.
-----
I had everything ready to go. I think I checked too many times but I had to make sure I got everything right. I checked the time it was 1:30am and my flight was 3:30am. I grabbed my backpack and put the photo albums in it. Then grabbed the pile of letters for my family, but I still had to write Dad's letter. I searched through the darkness for a pen. Once I got one I started writing.
After I lefted the house I went to Leah's house first, I taped the letter to her door. I did the same for everyone else. I arrived at the airport at 2:45am, it was quite busy. But I made it on the plane just in time and I got a window sit. I sighed and tried not to cry. I am really gonna miss them. But it is time I got to know my other family. The other side of things. My eyes were getting droopy and the flight attentdent gave me a pillow. I drifted off into sleep quickly, dreaming about my arrival.
Jake's POV (Shocked)
I woke up to arguing. I listen for moment and realized it was Lizzie and Will. I heard someone come in through the front door, then Billey's voice was added to convosation. I got out of bed and went to the kitchen. I am starving. When I got to the kitchen, I saw Will walk past and slammed the door. Billey and Lizzie came downstairs and headed for the door.
"Where are you two going?" I asked.
"Umm, we are going to Seattle," Billey said.
"Why?" I asked.
"To get somethings for a school project that I can only get in this one store," Lizzie replied.
"Oh, well don't be out too late," I said.
"We won't. I promise I will be back at 9 OK?" Lizzie said and then lefted. I shrugged and got me some food.
After I few hours later I decided to go to Leah's house. I really need to set things straight. I knocked on the door and Leah answered it.
"Hey, Leah look I'm really sorry about Friday," I said before she could say anything.
"Its all good. Your forgiven," Leah replied. OK thats weird. She should have slammed the door on my face.
"OK? Are you alright?" I asked.
"I'm perfectly fine, Jake," she replied smiling. OK now I'm really confused. Perfectly fine? Since when?
"What is going on, Leah?" I demanded. She sighed.
"Well if you must know, I met someone," she said as a guy came into view. I never met this man before. I gave Leah a puzzled look.
"Who is that?" I asked.
"Jake this is Luke. Luke this is Jake my friend," she said looking at him in way that looked familar. Then it hit me. .God. Leah imprinted. I stood there wide-eyed.
"Hello," Luke said offering his hand. I looked at it and then looked at him. I shook his hand then looked at the smiling Leah.
"Leah can I talk to you for minute?"
"Sure," she said following me to the kicthen.
"When did you imprint on him?" I asked.
"Friday night after our little fight. I was mad so I went to a club in Port Angeles. And there he was," she sighed.
"Wow, sounds so romantic," I teased. She smiled and shoved me.
"Shut up," she laughed.
I stayed there for a couple of hours and got to know Luke. He is actaully the perfect guy for Leah. It was really strange. But I like him, he is a good guy. When I got home Lizzie wasn't there. But few minutes later she came through the door soaking wet. I looked outside and it was pouring.
"So did you get what you needed?" I asked.
"Umm? Oh yeah I-I d-d-did," Lizzie shivered. I shook my head. She forgot to bring a coat.
"Cold?" I asked smiling.
"Yeah. I think I am going to go take a nice hot shower then crash," Lizzie said walking towards the stairs.
"OK," I said.
-----
The sun blinding me when I woke up the next morning. I headed downstairs to go to the kitchen like I do every morning. When I got there, there was a letter on the table. I picked it up and on it it said Dad. I opened the letter and read it. It said:
Dear Dad,
I'm so sorry for not telling you in person but I have a confession to make. I have been feeling strange for the past year.
Its like there is a missing part of me. And I think I know what the issue is.
I need my mother. And so do you. So I am probably on the plane right now, to you guessed it; Italy. I really wanna know my other family. They sound really great. And I really hope they like me.
Please don't come after me. I beg you. I have to do this on my own. I'm not leaving you. I'm coming back. I'll be gone at most a month.... I think. It depends. I promise I will bring her back.
Once again I am really really sorry. I just really need to find the other side. And my mother is it.
Much Love From,
Lizzie
I dropped the letter out of my hand and stood there. She is going to Italy? Oh no. But I can't go after her. So all I did was stood there in shock.
