A/N Hey guys what's been up? For me the same o same o just school, oh and exams. Oh how I love them -_-. Well anyway, R&R :)
"I know, and I'm sorry. I just-I haven't talked to anyone," Jacob let's out, his voice sounded like he had just been crying because it kept breaking.
Poor Jacob. I thought.
"I'm sorry," I consoled sympathetically. Maybe I shouldn't have came on so strong . . There was a silence on the line for a moment and I waited for Jake to say something. I knew he was on the line because he was breathing hard. I wanted to make him so much better, I didn't know what had happened but he was obviously hurting about something. I had to try to get it out of him."I I wish you weren't like this, all sad and upset. I want to help you, tell me what happened. I'm here." Was the thing I said next when he didn't say anything.
The line remained quiet for a long while; I stayed on until he was ready to say something. I minute passed, he was still there.
"It's a bit hard to say over the phone, and you wouldn't believe anything I tell you anyways. I don't want to waste my time," Jacob said with a heavy, weak sigh. "I just don't want to be so different anymore."
I cleared my throat, "So you're depressed because you're different, everybody is different Jacob, that's what makes everyone unique."
"No, Cassie, I'm not different in the way you think," he corrected.
That's when I became quiet. Was Jacob like me? I knew exactly what he was feeling, if he meant what he said. I believe more than he could imagine, I wanted to know more though. I had to tell Jake about me so that he could open up and tell me about him.
"I know exactly how you feel. If I tell you something about me, will you call me a freak?"
He sort of laughed, and I had to admit it was a laugh hard to listen to.
"You think you're a freak? You have no idea," his voice was a little more intense now. It sounded angry.
That instant I heard the living room door shut. I breathe out in relief, Finally Emily had made it home. Being in this house alone was sortof creepy. What was mostly creepy was when I walked into the living room no one was in there. I searched the rest of the house, no one was here. Just me. I knocked on Em's door and then I opened it. It was just as empty as the rest of the house. Someone had to come in because I was for sure that I locked the door before I got into the shower. Now the lock was twisted, unlocked.
"Are you there?" Jacob asked, I still didn't say anything. "Cassie, I'm sorry about what I just said. I didn't mean it okay, just forget the whole thing."
I could feel the curiosity in the person who was here; they were making sure noone was in the house. A thief, I think. My stomach started to turn.
"Jake?" I whispered going into my room, I closed the door behind me and sat on the bed.
"What's the matter?" He asked his voice was already concerned. He could tell I was afraid. I hadn't notice how afraid I was till Jacob replied the way he did.
"Where is Sam?
"He's with Embry and Paul. Emily's at the Clearwater's."
"Is there a possibility that Emily came home?" I was still whispering.
"Is something wrong? Em is with Sue," Jacob was starting to get impatient with getting his answer.
I took another deep breathe, "Someone's here."
"What do you mean someone's here? Who's there?"
I stuttered, "I came home, and I swear I locked the door behind me. I took a shower and then I got on the phone with you. Someone opened the door, because now it's unlocked," I explained.
"Well maybe it's Jared or something." He said a bit calmer.
"No one's here. I looked everywhere."
"Okay, I'm on my way. Just don't leave your room."
There was a click.
I tuned the light off in my room with my mind, went to sit in the corner in my closet. I just sat there waiting for Jacob to come and save me. So he could be my prince, again. I felt stupid for thinking about Jacob that way. With the night I had just had with Embry, ugh, what was up with my feelings about Jacob? I didn't know what I felt about him, but I could forgive him easily, and he seemed to be one of my main topics. What was this I was feeling for him?
I heard the first footsteps next to my door, they stood there and then they walked away. My skin began to crawl making me shiver, on the cold closet floor. It took only seconds before it came back. The door opened and someone peaked in. I knew if I used my mind moving power I keep them out until Jake came, but I'd learned so many times that I shouldn't use my gifts on people. Unless I was trying to understand how they felt. I just wanted to teleport out of here but I didn't know where to go since Jake was on his way.
The closet was the first thing they looked at. It was a girl; she had brown, spiked hair. She was skinny and she didn't like she was capable of hurting someone. If she hadn't just burst in here I would've thought she was after me.
She started to cough and then she covered her nose. It didn't smell bad in here at all, it was always clean. Something she smelt made her cough and she didn't like it.
The brown haired girl started to stare at the closet; she didn't say anything but I knew that she knew I was in here. I wasn't completely stupid.
"Ugh it smells like wet dog in here! I hate those stupid wolves!" She groaned, and I noticed that she had a very squeaky voice. "I know you're in here, I need for you to step out of that closet and let me see you." I still didn't move I wasn't sure on what I should do. "I'll look at you, and then I will leave before your doggie comes back." Was she talking about Sam? She was calling someone who lived in the house a werewolf? It had to be Sam. It was too risky to ask questions about it now, she wanted to see me. Jacob's words were very serious in my mind. Don't even move, he had whispered
"Look, I don't want to hurt you, I really didn't plan to come here and do that. Put do not take my kindness for weakness." She crosses the closet. "Last chance do you want to do this the hard way? I swear I will pull you out of that closet so fast!" She threatened. I could hear her moving closer to the closet, and honestly I truly didn't want to find out what the 'hard way' was. So for then first time in what seemed like forever. I defended myself.
I raised my hands into the air, and pushed them back. The girl flew into the air and crashed into something that was in the hallway. She groaned. Whatever she had crashed into broke; she couldn't have gotten back up after that. If it was me who had been thrown into the wall, I'd most likely been unconscious.
Unfortunately she wasn't, she stood back up and yelped, "Oh now that wasn't nice at all that was just plain ol'rude! Apparently now she was angry, really, really angry. She walked back in through the door way and looked at the closet once again. I picked up both of my hands and through them towards her, her body flew into the bathrooms door. I heard the hinges squeak, she didn't make a sound this time. I hope I hadn't killed her.
I waited, there was no movement. What would I tell Jacob when he got here? That I had through her into the door and she passed out. He wouldn't believe that, I couldn't believe that. I didn't want to think about lying to him, so I would come straight out and tell him what I could do. If he didn't like it, I'd just find somewhere else to go.
I could hear her stand; she was coming back towards my room.
How the hell was she getting up through this?
"I'm not going to take that from a amateur! Humans get so cocky sometimes." I'm trying so hard to figure out just exactly what she's talking about. amateur? What are you talking about my gifts?
Suddenly she appeared at my door, I hadn't heard her footsteps.
I heard the door slam and then I heard Leah yell, "If you don't want it from a human. You sure are about to get it from an werewolf!"
The girl turned around, stunned. She stepped out of the shadow of my bedroom and walked into the hallway.
"Finally!" Leah laughs, I've just been dying to kick your ass!"
"Alice, you ruined my door!" I heard Emily yell from the living room. Once I couldn't see the girl's shadow I stood up out of the closet and pepped out the door.
"Cassie, don't step out of that room!" Jacob commanded.
I stayed there and watched everything go down. I could hear Alice and Leah arguing.
"I just want to see her!" Alice pleaded. Whenever Leah would ask why she never answered.
It scared me, because I'd just been there for a month, and some one had already learned about me. I thought maybe she knew what I was.
The arguing started to get louder and Leah was getting angrier and angrier. Jake kept trying to hold her back because she was shaking. Alice on the other hand, didn't get so angry she was just standing there feeling afraid. Trying to convince them that she's just here to get a glimpse at me, and that was it.
As soon as Jacob let go of Leah, Leah grabbed Alice and through her into a wall. There was a crack. That wasn't the thing that caught my attention; it was how strong Leah was. She through Alice's body into a wall like she was a basketball and Alice bounced back like a basketball too. She through herself against Leah and started to fight with her. It was looked extremely painful. Eventually Leah grew her adrenaline back and through Alice off of her. Alice hit the wall with a good bang again.
Emily was freaking out in the corner; they were messing up all her things. The house wasn't big enough for a fight like this to be going on.
They both stopped for a second so Leah could say, "This stupid vampire comes to the Sam's house and thinks we're just going to let her go! I'm going to kill you and then deliver you to your precious Cullen's," Leah's threat scared me so much that I started to feel bad for Alice.
Jacob started to laugh, so hard that Emily joined too.
Alice didn't say anything; she was felt pity for being scared.
"I'm sorry," Alice whispered.
"You came past the treaty line, just to see Cassandra?" Jacob asked looking toward the room at me. He looked at me for a second and the turned his head.
"I was stupid; I won't do it again Jacob. Just let me leave."
Then Embry walked in the door. He looked at Alice, and he felt sorry for her too, I could see the softness in Embry he didn't want her to die.
"Go check on Cassandra." Jacob told Embry. Embry came towards my room. I opened the door for him, and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Are you okay?" He asked, holding onto my waist.
"I'll be fine." Embry's warmth calmed me down for a few seconds, I wondered if he was a werewolf too.
"Don't let them hurt her; she just wanted to see me."
He let go of me and looked back out the door. "Are you sure she didn't try anything else?"
"She didn't I swear," This was true.
"She did tell me things though. She told me a lot of things about you, Jacob, Sam, Leah. All of you."
This wasn't true fully, but I figured if I told him. They all would have to tell me about them. She hadn't really told me anything; just that I was in a house full of werewolves.
"Like what did she tell you?"
There was a loud sound and a roar.
"It doesn't matter Embry, they can't hurt her she doesn't deserve it she didn't mean me any harm!" I stop and paused, "I can stop this, and I can make everything go back to how it was. Just don't kill her please!" I was literally begging for Alice's life. I hardly knew who she was but I did have conscience.
"How are you going to end this? You don't understand Cassie this is never going to end," Embry said his voice growing tired and upset.
"Please just let me help, please?" Embry stopped and looked at me, it was a serious look. He kissed my forehead, and smiled. "Well, stop it. I'll tell Jake."
He walked out the room, confused and then I started chanting. I started with Alice I had to get her out of here before I started on anyone else.
Alice, go home this is stupid. You know they won't hurt you. Get out of here already, and don't ever come back.
That's how my gift worked; I could hop into someone's mind and tell them what to do. As if I was them. I had found out that I was able to tap into someone's mind when I was about thirteen. It was easy.
Then I switched over to Leah, it was serious that I got into her mind quickly, I couldn't hear her anymore. I was afraid that if I looked out the door I would see I giant werewolf. That wasn't what I needed at this point.
Leah, don't hurt Alice. She is going to learn her lesson soon enough. She thinks she can come in here and do what she wants. She is so wrong, but right now it's not the time.
Then Jacob, Don't stop her let her go. Just watch her leave; you know she regrets coming here. Look at her she scared to death.
Embry, See Cassandra was right she can stop this. You know she really likes you. Make sure you imprint with her soon.
I waited for the door to shut before I looked out mine. A couple seconds later I heard it. I waited for another sound. I stuck my head out the door. I had finished the job perfectly. Leah and Jacob were standing trying to figure out what had happen. Leah, who's head dripped a slight bit of blood, stood there covered with only a blanket. Emily was trying to figure out why it happened. Embry on the other just stood there completely shocked.
"Can I come out?" I asked from inside my room everyone was so shocked that they didn't even turn and look at me.
Leah looked like she was in a really bad mood; she sure didn't like the idea of letting Alice go. Only if she knew it wasn't her idea at all. She expressed the way she felt by saying, "I can't believe we let that stupid vampire go."
Embry looked toward me. "I think it was for the best. Starting a war with Cullen's isn't what we need right now," He spoke, they looked at him.
"I agree with Embry." Emily muttered from the kitchen.
"Is Sam on his way?
Jacob on the other hand looked a little upset. He was making the same face Alice was making when she walked into my room.
"Ah crap, how are we going to get her smell out of here?" He complained. Everyone started to laugh again I didn't catch it. Jacob, Embry, and Leah walked out the house with the same face, werewolves probably didn't like the smell of vampires, and vampires didn't like the smell of werewolf. The must have not liked each other. I was guessing the Cullen's were vampires. I was putting all of this together quite fast.
I wasn't as freaked out as a normal person would have been. I was actually happier than ever, just to know that somewhere there was a person like me.
As soon as the door shut behind them Emily ran into the room and wrapped her arms around me. She held it there until I asked the main question that had been in my mind for the couple of minutes that had gone by.
"You're all werewolves?" I whispered right in her ear ready to feel whatever feeling she had consumed. She didn't let go off me I was guessing because she didn't want to look me in the eyes. I waited though, until she was ready to tell me.
"I'm not a werewolf," Was her answer, but we both knew that wasn't enough I wanted to know more.
"Then who is?" was my next question it didn't take her any time to answer that question.
"We'll have to wait till Sam gets home. It's not my secret to tell." She let go of me and walked away. "Would you mind helping clean up this mess. That stupid girl got lucky this time. I bet she won't come again."
I had made sure she wasn't going to come back. If she did I had told myself that I wouldn't help her. It was her problem if she came back.
I walked into the hallway and started to help Emily clean up what Leah and I had done to Alice. When I walked into the hallway and saw how the bathroom door was broken I was shocked. She had to be a vampire because any human who was able to live through that, was one lucky person. Alice on the other had bounced back up like nothing had ever happened to her, it was somewhat freaky.
So know I knew that vampires and werewolves were real. In the end that didn't help me find out what I was. It didn't matter to me who was a vampire and who was werewolf. I wanted to know about me.
However, I had finally met my supernatural family. If they couldn't tell me what I was at least I had them. Being in the house with them would make me feel a little less than a freak. If I told Sam, who was supposed to be the head werewolf this meant he knew more than the others did. Sam, he could tell me what I was.
After Em and I finished trying to clean up the house I pulled out my laptop. In it I entered.
I'm so excited; I think I finally found where I belong. It was here in La Push along with all the werewolves and vampires. Although I don't think I will be communicating with the vamps at least they exists. Anyhow I found out the reason why Sam and the others liked wolfs so much. It was because they themselves are wolfs big, hairy werewolves. I don't know where I fit in with werewolves and vampires, but I know that if I stay here I'll find out. I guess I should wait till Sam gets home to ask him about me, and about himself. But eh never know when he's going to get home.
I closed the laptop and put it back into my draw. I didn't turn the light because I had planned to stay up all night if I had to, so I could wait on Sam.
So I waited, and waited. I kept dozing in and out. I had heard Emily go to sleep about an hour earlier. She usually stayed in the living room till Sam came home, so she could make sure he was okay. I guess tonight he hadn't come home so she went to bed. At 2:20 I finally fell asleep. I was so tired that my eyelids were opening and closing on there own. Sam hadn't came home yet, and I was so tired of sitting there waiting.
I had a dream. I had turned into a werewolf, and I was running in the forest. There was about ten wolfs running behind me also. It was as if I was leading them somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I was white and gray, buff looking, and fat. I was the thickest werewolf there. Yet I was still running, faster than all the other wolfs they were keeping up though.
Sam shrugged my shoulder and I woke up immediately. I looked over at the clock it was 6:37. He must have been really tired, because he had been hunting all night. I wonder what werewolves hunt? I could tell he had just got back because he was in the same cloths he had left in the morning before.
"I wanted to ask you what happened yesterday." Sam questioned.
I leaned up into the bed, "If I tell what happened will you tell me about your secret?" I asked trying to make a negotiation.
"Well I don't exactly have a choice. So um what did Alice tell you?"
"Well at first she was saying how my room smelled like wet dog," I started. Sam started to laugh and then he looked up to me so I could continue talking. "Then she asked me if I could show myself, because she really needed to see me. She promised to leave right after she saw me. I don't think she wanted to hurt me, well not until she told that if I didn't come out the closet she would drag me out. So I throw her into the bathroom door."
Sam looked stunned, "Wait how? You threw Alice, that's impossible?"
"If I show you; you can't judge me," I sort of demanded.
"Go ahead, you have nothing ashamed about."
I picked up my arm and whispered phone, cord, laptop. That was when my laptop appeared on my bed; my phone hooked up to its cord and was plugged up in the wall.
Sam sat there; he didn't look that freaked out. He looked amazed; this was a very good reaction. "Is that it?" He asked smiling now.
"I can um," I pulled the covers from over my legs, stood up and closed my eyes
"Hallway," I whispered. Suddenly I was standing in the hallway, I laughed under my breath. I loved the way he didn't have anything negative to say; he was surprised about the whole thing.
"I can also feel what others feel. Like right now you feel surprised and amazed. I feel a lot of happy energy coming from you, and even a little what the hell ?"
I sat back down on the bed in front of him. Hoping he'd caught my joke. I'm sure he did but he didn't laugh, he just sort he'd he just sort of sat there in disbelief. I pulled my hands through my hair. I didn't know if I wanted to tell him about my other gifts, then he'd know too much.
"I can tap into people's mind and make them do stuff. While I'm chanting, I'll be acting as if I was them." I stopped.
"I was the one that stopped that fight earlier. I told Leah and Jacob to let Alice go. I told Alice to leave."
Sam believed me. This was going better than I had expected. I wanted to know what he was thinking.
"Make me do something." Sam asked I knew that was coming.
"Close your eyes," I told him. As soon as he did I started chanting. I was trying to chant quietly because well, in the movies werewolves were able to hear a lot thing.
You can trust Cassie with your secret. She trusted you with hers. Let her in on what you aren't telling her. Maybe she could help.
Sam opened his eyes moments later, smiling. "I felt that."
"Yeah, you were supposed to."
"Well my brothers and I are werewolves. A pack of werewolves, there's seventeen of us. Later on if I have time I let you meet the others, and your right you might be able to help us." Seventeen? I let out a breath, damn . . .
"Why are you werewolves?"
He kind of laughed, "Why are we werewolves?" he whispered to himself. I didn't catch what was so funny, I never did.
"Well the Quileute people are descended from wolves originally. At the beginning we were just wolves, well not me, my ancestors. We didn't turn into werewolves until the Pale Faces started to hunt on our lands. Apparently wolves weren't strong enough for the vampires."
The Pale Faces, the vampires.
"See this is the short story of the Quileute people, but its enough for you to understand."
I nodded, I wanted to know more.
"We had to protect ourselves from the Pale Faces. They would feed on our people, our animals. We felt that if we didn't protect ourselves we would soon be victim. It was then that our Alpha male changed into a werewolf. They gene kept going from them to us. Now we're all werewolves."
"Why are there so many?"
"Lately there have been vampires in and out of La Push." He groaned.
"Well in La Push, it's very rare that they find there way out. Plus every time a new vampire enters our land, a new werewolf joins out pack."
This was so interesting. I bite into my lip, hardly able to take this all in at once.
"The Cullen's are the reason I phased, the reason I'm Alpha. Jacob should've been Alpha male, but he was too young."
"Who are the Cullen's?"
"There a coven of vampires. Know it all vampires. Jacob likes to keep in touch with them. I don't spill too much of his life, but he was in love with one of the Cullen's. She chose Edward."
I bit my lip, I felt really bad for Jacob. but still couldn't figure out how any of this was connected Reneesme.
"After he fell in love with Bella, she had a kid with Edward. Jacob imprinted on her."
"Jacob imprinted on Reneesme?" And now it was all coming together.
"Yeah, but she was half vampire /half human. Her human started to die off, so they had to kill the human in her by turning her into a full vampire. Vampires are our natural enemies so Jake fell out of that imprint. That's why he didn't come around anymore."
"What if the Cullen's wanted to come here to visit?" I asked.
"We have treaty lines. The Cullen's aren't aloud here if anyone see's a vampire here their just about dead. When Ephraim Black was Alpha he made a treaty with the Cullen's promising that they wouldn't attack them unless they were in the Quileute territory. Werewolves are aloud in Forks, but we can't attack them there. Only one condition lets us attack them beyond the lines." Sam stopped.
"If a Cullen bites a human it breaks the treaty and we'll be able to kill every single one of them." Sam looked like he liked that idea. The treaty thing made a lot of since to me. It was like the vampires weren't able to do anything, but live life the human way.
"So if they can't bite a human what do they eat for food?" That was one of the most interesting questions in my head.
"They feed on animals."
I looked down for a second. I didn't look back at him until the phone rang. Sam was up in off the bed before I had time to look at him, he was out of the room. He was incredible fast, I guess since he knew I knew his secret he didn't have to hide his gifts anymore. I knew everything about werewolves already. I mean the basic stuff quick reflexes, super-human strength and incredible smell, sight and hearing.
Sam didn't come back into the room for about ten minutes. Although I waited I wanted to finish the conversation. I was sure Emily wasn't a werewolf, but Sam was. So were half the people that walked in and out of here. I had a different perspective of them now. It had come to me that they weren't just these normal judgmental people. They were one of the judged.
I like the fact that I was compared to them, that we had something in common.
like he was exhausted.
"Did something happen?" I wondered being a little noisy.
He shook his head. Then he turned the light off in my room. "You should get some sleep." He said before walking out the room.
I laid back into the bed and closed my eyes for just a second. As soon as I closed my eyes I saw Jacob, he was the main thing on my mind at this moment and he had been on my mind all day. I knew I liked Jake more then Embry. I also knew it was so wrong, to like Jacob when someone like his brother was trying to imprint with me. It was just plain wrong, but for some reason I couldn't get him off my mind. I didn't want to.
Then I thought about everything else that had been on my mind today. This was it; this was exactly what I was looking for. Why was I so calm about it? I didn't know but I had this feeling of curiosity so I figure I should try to find some things out. So I hoped out of my bed one last time and pulled a piece of paper out of my back pack along with a the paper I wrote:
To Do List.
1. I need to find out who I am or what I am.
2. I need to learn more about vampires.
3. I need to learn a lot more about werewolves.
4. I needed to get Jacob Black off my mind, and fast.
I put the piece of paper into the same draw that I had my laptop in. It would stay in there until I completed all of them. I knew that would take me some time, but I knew I had all the time in the world.
With that I hopped back in the bed and attempted to fall asleep. Jacob remained on my mind. There was something about him that made him stand out more than Embry.
I had another dream that night. I was a werewolf. I was a very thick werewolf. I was running in front of a pack. There were exactly thirteen werewolves running behind me. From the looks of it I was the leader, and I was trying to get somewhere. Somewhere were I only knew where it was. I noticed how thicker I was the most. I was thicker than all the wolves behind him. I was gray and white, with light blue eyes. What the hell was that supposed to mean?
A.N So if you didn't catch on the reason Jacob is so sad is because, Nessie turned into a full blown out vampire, (which nearly killed her) and Jake un-imprinted her, because well werewolves can't be imprinted with there natural enemies vampires.
What happens now that Cassandra knows about the wolves?
And why did Alice want to see Cassie? What did she know? . . .
