Amber POV
I sat down the forest floor a little scared. Okay, more then a little scared. What am I supposed to believe? Should I think that wolf was Jacob Black? Should u think that Nessie was drinking…..drinking…. But that would mean that perfect Nessie had a bad secret… but it's not like I could ever tell anyone this, they wouldn't believe me.
Then I knew question entered my mind, why hadn't my "best friend" told me. I tell her secrets….
No, no. This never happened. I never saw this. Wow, it finally hit me, I'm going insane. Nessie Cullen is not a v-….v-….
Yeah, that's it. I'm insane.
Sweat was forming on the back of my neck. It was awfully cold for summer though. Yeah, I must be insane.
I leaned back and put my hands under my head. I stared up at the cloudy sky with a blank expression. Then I heard something hit the ground behind me… I wonder who that could be. Hopefully somebody that was willing to drive me to a mental hospital.
"Hello." A voice said to me.
"Hi." I kept my eyes up in the clouds.
"A girl like you, in the forest alone?" Then I turned around. My heart started beating a mile a minute.
"I'm…not. Alone."
"Really? Because it would be a real shame if you were to get hurt…"

Nessie POV
Jake was sitting next to me on the living room couch but I didn't look at him. My head was in my hands.
"What do I do? This is all my fault!"
"It's nobody's fault. Maybe she didn't see anything…"
"Are you joking? She saw the whole thing!" To that statement there was no reply. He knew that she saw it. I looked up at him, "Now we might have to move because she will figure out that I'm a vampire." I said with dread. Then he looked away from me and dazed expression came across his face. The color drained from his cheeks and he clenched his fists.
"Damn it."
"Well we can always lie-"
"No-" Then he got up and walked through the back door. Why did he get so mad that fast? I mean we don't for sure…
I got up and walked out to where he was nervously pacing in the yard.
"Jake calm d-" My sentence was broken by a frantic cry of pain coming from somewhere in the forest. "AMBER!"
We both took off as fast as we could possibly run in the direction of the scream. I didn't even want to think about what she could be screaming about.
***
We got to her as she was lying on the ground. Oh god, if she's dead…
She rolled over when we came right when the cause of her injury looked to see who was interrupting. Jacob phased and jumped to the vampire in seconds and I ran to amber and kneeled next to her head. I started searching all over her skin to see if she was bitten. She was screaming the entire time and when I discovered she was unharmed I put my hand over her mouth. She saw Jacob phase, goodbye Forks.
"Amber ssssshhhh!"
"NESSIE STOP!" She wrenched my hand away from her mouth. "Help me! Help!"
Jacob came and crouched beside me. Luckely he brought extra pants.
"Jake are you hurt?"
"No, but he got away."
"HELP!" My hand was covering her mouth again.
"Amber quiet! It's okay. You're fine." I guess she really wanted to be left alone because she bit my hand. Wow, was that really supposed to hurt? All the same, I pretended it did and let go.
"So where did he go?"
"I don't know, he was there one minute-"
"It's okay, lets get her back to the house."
***
She rode back to the house on Jacob's back and thankfully she stopped screaming but now she wouldn't say a word. She was laying the couch and we were sitting there waiting for a response. She's lucky she was alive, I have no idea where that vampire would've came from. Alice would've seen…
"Nessie?"
"Amber! Thank god!"
"What?"
"You finally talked!"
"What the heck just happened?"
"Umm…" I looked at Jake for some form of rescue. I couldn't find a convincing enough lie to tell her.
"Tell me the truth!" Wow, it was like she could read minds. Good thing she couldn't though or else she would know about-
I shook my head and looked at Jake again. Ugh, he was no help at all.
"Amber we kinda, um, aren't exactly normal."
"WEREWOLF!" Oh gosh, how did she figure that out? Ugh.
"What?"
"Jacob is a werewolf!"
"Psh, where would you get such a crazy idea?" I really hoped this would work.
"I saw him- I saw- he like transformed into this wolf!! I saw it in a movie once…" Wow, her face looked like she just discovered a cure for cancer or something. I had nothing more to say now.
"Amber just calm down. You don't really know what you saw, you passed out…" Whew! It's about time Jake said something!
"I did?"
"Yeah don't you remember? You um, followed Nessie when she went for a walk in the woods and you fell and hit your head on a rock. You passed out. She called me to, to um, help her get you into house…"
"Really?" She said sarcastically, oh great she probably wasn't buying any of this. "Because I don't remember waking up."
"You just did-"
"A few minutes ago-" She considered this for a moment before she stood up and out her hands on her hips.
"You guys are lying. I don't remember falling, and my head doesn't hurt at all. Wait, I do remember falling, when some guys pushed me. I am not leaving until you guys tell me what's going on!" Okay, so we couldn't lie our way out of this one I guess…
"Um…"
"Oh, gee look at the time! I should go home for dinner!" I can't believe Jacob just said that! I grabbed his arm and pulled him back to where he was.
"Somebody tell me! Nessie I saw you like eating a deer."
"Eating a deer? Ew, no I was not eating a deer." Well at least that was the truth…
"Ugh, and I thought you guys were my friends. Just wait until everyone at school hears about this."
That's it. Jake and I both yelled in unison, "NO!"
"Tell me what happened then." Man, she was evil, and to think I was going stop liking Jacob because of her.
"Okay, sit down." I sighed in defeat, yep, I was definitely moving.
Jake pulled me over to the side and whispered in an angry voice, "Don't tell her!"
"Why not? She's going to tell everyone at school!" I whispered back.
"It's summer Nessie."
"But she probably will. This isn't something she's likely to forget!"
"But if you tell her-" He turned away and his eyes stared down at the floor.
"Jake what's wrong? She's not going to tell anyone."
"But-" I've never seen him upset like this before. I mean I might not even have to move. He looked back at me with the same stressed out face and slid his hand through mine. "Please don't. There has to be another way."
How was I supposed to say no to that? "Okay."
Amber coughed loudly and got up. I pulled my hand away from Jake's but she was already headed toward the door and her face was all red. My god, how much worse could this situation get?
"Amber wait!"
"No Nessie. I know enough. That's for being my friend. Thanks for keeping your promise. I know that you're not normal, I always knew."
"Oh, did you?" Ugh! Why must I have such an attitude?
"You guys are the worst friends ever! I'm telling everybody what I saw and you can't stop me."
"Please don't!"
"Why should I listen to you? You can't even tell me one secret. Well now I think I have a pretty good idea what your secret is." She slammed the door as she stormed out. I didn't know what she thought my secret was, and I didn't want to.
This was all my fault. Jacob came up behind and started to say something but my phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"RENESMEE CARLIE CULLEN!"
"Hi dad…"
