Disclaimer: This is Stephanie Meyer's world. I am just adding my thoughts to it.
I want to thank everyone for reading and reviewing the previous chapter. I want to apologize to all of you, for taking so long. I have been so busy the past week, and I will only get busier next week. But I am going to make sure, that I will get one chapter every week… at least.
With this said, here is chapter six. Let's begin!
Chapter 6 – First date?
CHASE! WILL! I scream in my mind again, as I kick the female vampire that is on top of me.
I still can't hear them, and when I try to reach out to them I realize they aren't there. That only means one thing, they have shifted. We can only talk to each other mentally when we are in the same form. Since I am still human, they must be wolves.
I need to shift, that is the only chance that we have. If I don't shift, they won't be able to hear me and both Ethan and I will be sucked dry. I hear growling next to me, and when I look to the side… I see that the huge male vampire, he reminds me of Emmet somehow, is attacking Ethan. He is barely inches away from the big artery in his neck.
Ethan is strong enough to hold him off for a bit. But I know he can't hold out forever. I need to do something. I kick the female vampire in the stomach, and with the force I put behind it… she flies against a tree. The tree breaks in half and she is on her feet again.
But she gave me just enough time. My body begins heating up and I am shaking all over, before I realize it… fur explodes out of my arms and I am standing on four paws. The female vampire with her blood-red eyes gasps at me. I surprised her, and I can sense she doesn't enjoy being surprised.
As soon as I am standing on my four paws, I can feel minds swirling around in my head. Chase, Will, Leah and my dad are all shifted. I howl, and make sure they know this is bad stuff. I feel them switch course, and running to my location. I launch myself at the huge vampire that is attacking Ethan, and make sure Ethan is safe underneath me.
The huge vampire, crashes against rocks as I push him off. I growl at both the vampires and they hiss back at me.
Do not do anything, Rashel Alanna Black! That was my dad, no matter how many vamps I ripped to pieces… he is still worried that I might get killed.
Yes, that is right! Now stand down, we will be there in thirty seconds. Even though he gave up being alpha, he still has the power in his voice and mind to make me obey him. It is probably a dad thing as well.
I look down at Ethan, and he is passed out. What's wrong with him? I try not to panic, but when I touch him he feels cold. He is not supposed to be cold. He is supposed to be warm, even warmer than I am.
I growl at the vamps, and open my mind to them. I want to know why they are here.
We finally found that fae, but now some werewolf is protecting him. She must be one of those Cullens, Aro talked about them. Aro? My mom told me about him, he is one of those Italian vampires that wanted to kill her.
I hear paws hitting the floor, and the vampires turn around. But they were too slow, I attack the female vampire from behind and rip her head off. Before the huge male vamp can wrap his arms around me, my dad rips his arms off together with Chase. The four of them take care of the vamps, and I make my way back to Ethan. He is still unconscious, I nudge him with my nose. Still no reaction.
My family shifts back and starts a fire and burns the pieces of the vampires. I then realize that I ripped my clothes and I can't shift back. I whimper and Leah hears me, she looks at my paw and notices that there are no clothes. She understands me immediately.
She jogs behind the bushes and I follow her. She undresses quickly as I shift back, I put on her clothes as she shift back to being a wolf. We both get back into the clearing where our family is. Chase looks at wolf-Leah and raises an eyebrow.
"I ripped my clothes." I tell him as I kneel down where Ethan is still laying. Chase nods understandingly and caresses Leah's fur, when she sits down next to him.
I shake Ethan gently and feel his forehead. He doesn't feel warm, he feels like a normal human would feel. I check his neck to see if he got bitten, but there are no marks. I close my eyes and try to enter his mind. There is no block like the other time I tried that.
"Is he going to be okay?" Will asks me as he kneels down. I shake my head as a tear escapes.
"I don't know, I don't know what he needs… he is too cold." I tell Will as another tears slips from my eyes.
My dad then kneels down and grabs my chin so I can look into his eyes. I raise my wet eyes to meet his warm ones. "You have to bring him to his family… A fae heals quickly when he is surrounded by more fae."
"Ho- how do you kn- know that?" I ask him when he stand up, I stand up as well.
"It is one of our legends, we used to work together with the fae… centuries ago. There are still legends in our tribe, baby." He tells me.
I hug him and ask Will if he can carry Ethan to his house, since he is too heavy to be carried after the fight. He nods and beds down to carry Ethan.
"What way?" He asks me, and I look around. I don't know, he jumped us here… I don't know where his house is.
"I… I don't know?" I tell him and he looks at me like I am from a different planet.
"You are freaking part vampire, how can you forget?" He asks me with a scowl as he is still holding Ethan.
"I didn't forget, we just… didn't walk? He teleported us here." I tell him softly and his eyes widen. Just as he is about to say something, we hear a groan.
I gasp as I look at Ethan, he moved and his eyes are fluttering open. I feel his forehead, and it is getting warmer. I ask Will to put him down, and I lay his head in my lap as I stroke the hair out of his eyes.
"How are you?" I ask him softly as he is now looking into my eyes.
"What happened?" He asks me in a heavy voice, as if he just woke up from a deep sleep.
"Two vampires attacked us, you passed out or something… you were really cold. But you are getting warmer now. Are you okay, can I get you anything?" I tell him and ask him. He shakes his head and closes his eyes again.
"I just need to lay here for a bit, then I can go home… but you can go home with your family." He tells me, and I have a itch to shake him a bit for his stupid request.
"I am not going anywhere, I am not leaving you here, alone." I tell him firmly and I see a small smile on his lips. He nods his head and I relax again.
I look up at my family and they look down at me with worried faces. I smile at them. "I am okay, you can go home now… we will be fine. And I will be home before midnight." I add the last part for my dad.
They nod and jog away, I hear them shift and then hear paws run away. I look down at Ethan again and wonder how long we will be here.
Ethan looks up at me with a smile and reaches out to touch my cheek with his hand. I hold his hand to my cheek with my own hand.
"Don't feel guilty, Rashel… I smelled them before, but I didn't think they would have been in the forest. It is my fault." His hand has a strong hold on my face and I keep looking into his mesmerizing, blue eyes.
A tear threatens to fall from my eyes, but Ethan quickly wipes it away. I smile a sad smile as he closes his eyes again, I suddenly hear footsteps. I hold Ethan tightly to me.
"Hello? Rashel? Ethan?" I hear a cheery voice call, it is Tanya. I sigh in relief as a small girl appears from behind the bushes. She smiles at me, before kneeling down next to Ethan.
"Hey, sis… thanks for coming." He called her? How? He looks up at me and smiles, before tapping the side of his head slowly.
Oh, of course!
"Can you let go of him, Rashel?" She asks me, and I raise my eyebrow at her… I am not going to let go of him!
"It's okay, she will heal me." Ethan tells me, as he senses my hesitation. I look at him and then at Tanya. I reluctantly move away from Ethan.
I see that Tanya closes her eyes and lays a head on his forehead. Her other hand is resting on his stomach. She turns her face upwards, and if she didn't have her eyes closed… I would think she was looking at the clouds.
She softly starts chanting. I lean against the tree, and wrap my arms around my knees. Suddenly a bright spark comes from her hands, and it is like it enters Ethan's mind. After just a few seconds, the spark is gone and she let's go of Ethan. She stand up and turns to me and nods lightly.
Before I can thank her, she is gone. She must have jumped back to her house. I make my way to Ethan and before I even reached him, he is already sitting up and smiling at me. A heaviness is lifted from my shoulders as I see him smile. I sit down next to him and take a hold of his hand, as if to make sure I am not dreaming.
He wrap an arm around my shoulder as he kisses my forehead.
"Are you ready to go to my house? We look like we wrestled in the mud." He says with a happy laugh. I look down at us, and we really look horrible.
I look up at him and nod, he asks me to close his eyes as he wraps his arms around me tightly. Before I even realize it, we are back in his room and sitting on his bed. My head is still spinning, but much less than the first time he teleported me to the woods.
I keep my eyes closed and wait for my head to stop spinning, after a few seconds I open my eyes and I see two eyes looking back in mine. I smile and he leans down to kiss my lips softly.
Rather too fast, he pulls away from me. He cradles my head to his chest and rests his head on mine. I close my eyes as his body heats my face. I smile and gently lay my leg over his and hold onto his waist.
"We should get washed up and get something to eat." He whispers, and I nod gently… I make no move to get up and he chuckles.
"Come on, Rash… I will let you go first." I groan as he pushes me upwards, and then slips his hands under my body and carries me to his bathroom. He puts me down in front of the shower and turns the water on.
"Here you go! I will ask Tanya to bring a towel, and your clothes in." I nod and he gently kisses the top of my head and smiles.
He slaps my butt playfully, I blush and jump around to watch him exit the bathroom. It kind of felt good when he slept me. I bite my lip as I undress, and think of today. I am thankful that we are brought together by faith.
I get inside of the shower, and let the warm water wash over my sore body. It has been quite a while since I fought a vampire. I look around and see that there is only male body wash, I frown and I am about to grab a bottle when I hear a knock.
"Who is there?" I call out, I hear the door open and soft footsteps enter the bathroom. A small hand, holding a bottle of shampoo and body wash, slips behind the curtains. I smile.
"Thank you, Tanya." I say gratefully as I take the bottles from her.
"I have a towel, and your clothes here. I also brought in some make-up and creams… if you'd like to use them." She says shyly, I wonder what is the matter with the bubbly girl I met a few hours ago.
"Rashel?" She nervously says. "I want to thank you, for saving my brother. I… I am sorry, that I doubted you." Before I can ask her what she means, she is out of the bathroom. I will just ask Ethan later.
I wash my hair and then scrub my body, I make sure all the mud and dirt and leaves are gone before I turn off the water and step out of the shower. I wrap the towel around my waist, as I dry off my hair with the other towel.
I then quickly dry off my body and get my skirt and draped top on. I slip my feet in my black pumps, and look into the mirror. When I see what Tanya brought it, I gasp. She could be Alice's best friend. There is so much make-up in all colors and from all brands. I take a good look, and find the exact same make-up that Alice used on me this morning.
I add the make-up and shake out my hair. I grab the necklace and walk out of the bathroom. Ethan is laying on his bed and reading a book. As he hears me walk into the room, he looks up from his book and smiles a most amazing smile. I hold up the necklace and walk closer to him. He kneels up on the bed and hooks the necklace around my neck.
I spin around and he is leaning in to kiss me, but I stop him by putting a finger over his lips.
"Don't you dare to get your muddy hands on my clothes!" I tell him firmly, but still with a smile. He chuckles and surrenders by holding his arms up. He gets of the bed, and makes his way into the bathroom. He halts at his desk and grabs the little pile of clothes.
I grab the book that he was reading, and look at the title. It was the book where he got his monologue from for his audition. I smile and lay the book back as I found it. I slip my pumps back off again and crawl up into the middle of the big bed.
I close my eyes as I listen to the water in the bathroom. After fifteen minutes, the water is shut down and it sounds like Ethan is getting dressed.
After five more minutes, Ethan exits the bathroom and I open my eyes. I look at him, and my smile widens at his clothes. He looks so handsome. He is wearing slim, dark washed jeans with a white button up shirt. His hair is still damp from the shower, and he ruffles it gently. It sets perfectly against his scalp.
"Do you want to go out for dinner?" He asks me as he holds out his hand. I take his hand, and he pulls me up.
I lean up my toes and kiss his lips softly before looking into his eyes.
"Yes, I would love to." I slip back into my pumps and grab my black bag that was next to the door. He opens the door for me and we walk down the stairs. I hear two different voices coming from the kitchen. Two female voices.
"My mom wants to meet you." He whispers into my ear. Oh, I think to myself.
"Um… okay?" I say nervously, I hear him chuckle next to me. He takes my small hand in his big one and it comforts me. We enter the kitchen hand in hand, and the voices cease. Tanya is sitting at the table and is averting my eyes. I need to remember to ask him about her.
"Rashel!" A voice like bells says my name, and I look at the woman who said it. She is just as tall as Tanya, but has the same hair and eyes as her son. You can definitely see where Ethan got his looks from.
"I am Ella, it is nice to finally meet you. Ethan has told us about you, and how he couldn't figure out what you were." She winks at me, before pulling me away from Ethan and leading me to the table.
"Would you like to drink something? Or food? Or… um, blo…" Ethan interrupts her before she can ask me if I want some blood. I am him forever grateful.
"No, mom. We are going out for dinner." He looks at her sternly, and she knows she shouldn't have tried to bring up the blood. I quickly get up, before a family fight is started. I take Ethan's hand.
"Thank you, for having me. I hope we meet again." I say with a smile as I pull Ethan to the door.
Once we are outside, he stops me and pulls me to face him. He looks down at me, with a sad smile. "I am sorry about my mom, she was nervous to meet you. She experienced the fae hunts by the vampires."
I shake my head and tell him it is okay. We then make our way to his black Camaro, and he unlocks the car. We both get in, and he makes his way to the highway.
"Where are we going?" I ask him with a smile. He glances my way, and he has a sneaky look in his eyes.
"It is a secret!"
First of all, thank you for reading! So... what did you think? Please click the button down here, and let me know. I was wondering if you guys wanted a different POV, I was thinking of writing a chapter in Ethan POV. But if you guys have different suggestions, please let me know.
I am sorry that this chapter was quite short, but it is already past 10:00pm on a Sunday. And I should be in bed already, since I have an early day tomorrow. But I wanted to give you a chapter. Not my best work, and I was lacking inspiration as well. But hope it is still okay.
Oh and guys… don't forget to check out my flickr-account. I find it easier to work with pictures, I see something in my mind and I want something in front of me to show what is in my mind. So there are clothes, and cars and friends… Till next week! Have a good first week of December!
Sorry this Author's note was so long :)
