Chapter 3: First Beach and First Meeting
Italic is thinking
Jacob threw his big body on one of Sam's couch. He was upset when he found out that Bella went back to her bloodsucker as soon as he returned without even angry to him. Why couldn't she see that he was better than that vampire, anyway?
"You're okay, Jake?" Sam asked, putting a basket of giant muffins on the table. He was surprised that Jacob didn't even glance or fight with the other boys as usual. He heard Jacob sighed.
"No"
"Why?"
"He's still upset about Bella" Embry said, taking a bite of his muffin. Jacob huffed and continued sulking. Sam shook his head.
"Why bother? She isn't your imprint, Jacob. It's her loss if she chooses Cullen over you."
"I love her, Sam! I don't care if she is my imprint or not. I want her" Jacob said, grabbing Quil's muffin from his hand.
"Hey!" Quil tried to grab it back but Jacob had thrown it into his mouth and munched angrily.
"You know what, Jake? I think you don't love her, you obsess with her in unhealthy way." Embry said. Jacob glared at him but Embry just shrugged.
"Wait till you meet your imprint, Jake. You'll feel how complete you are and I can't wait for it to happen. I'm tired of your whines about her every time we have patrol" Sam said, walking away.
"Hey, let's go to the beach!" Quil suggested. Jared and Embry jumped onto their feet and ran out the house. Jacob stared at his brothers before followed them.
"Who's that?" Embry asked his brothers when he saw unfamiliar girl skipping along the shore. The young shape-shifters stopped and followed his gaze.
"Maybe she's new. I heard from Sam that there are some people moved to Forks few days ago. Maybe she is one of them." Jacob said. He didn't know why but he felt really curious about her. He walked to the girl followed by his brothers. She wasn't paying attention to them and ended bumped onto his chest. The girl's blue eyes looked up at him and Jacob's world changed.
Luna skipped along the shore alone and bare feet, leaving her friends who were having water fight. She hummed carelessly while twirling her body, enjoying the way breeze blew her hair. She kicked some sand and salty water from her toes. She was too busy twirling around that she didn't notice some large boys watching her curiously. She jumped when she bumped onto hard material. She looked up and saw a handsome boy with tan skin and brown eyes staring at her with very odd expression.
"Hello" she titled her head smiled dreamily at him. The boy didn't do or say anything but stared at her. Both of them didn't say anything but just staring at each other.
Embry frowned. He admitted that the girl was kind of pretty but why Jacob didn't say anything when he supposed to greet back. He walked to them and grinned when he notice familiar expression on Jacob's face. Embry threw a shoulder around Jacob's shoulder and greeted the girl, turning the girl's gaze to him.
"Hello there, I'm Embry and he's Jacob. Sorry about him. He doesn't do well with pretty girl." Embry grinned. The girl smiled at him.
"I am Luna Lovegood, nice to meet you" She greeted with a weird yet interesting dreamy voice.
"Hi, I'm Jared and this is Quil. Nice to meet you, Luna" Jared offered his hand which she shook.
"Are you new here?" Quil asked. He smacked Jacob's on his head to snap him from his own world, earning a glare and grateful look at once.
"Yes, I am"
"Nice to meet you, L-Luna. I am Jacob Black" Jacob said, embarrassed when he realized that he had stared at her weirdly. He offered his hand and felt a tingling sensation when their skin met. The girl was beautiful and had some... unique aura around her. Hmm, maybe she was special. Jacob's brown eyes were bored into her baby blue eyes. A sound of clearing throat snapped him awake.
"Luna Lovegood, huh? Yeah yeah love is good" Jacob smiled when he heard Luna giggled. Embry, Jared and Quil shared a look before grinned at each other. Finally, the day they wished the most had come. No more whines about Bella Swan!
"Hey, tell me about you! Do you like Forks so far?" Embry sat down on the sand followed by the others. Luna smiled at him and sat down beside Jacob who looked so happy being close to her.
"Why don't you tell me about yourself first?" She asked back. Embry laughed and launched into the story about them, except the wolf thing, and Luna shared her story too, except the magic thing.
Jacob ignored the story. He was too busy observing his imprint. The way she talked was weird, like she wasn't really in their world. She sounded like a poet when she described her friends, Harry something, Ron something, Hermione something and so on. She seemed looked up at them from the way she talked about them. Jacob's eyes moved from her long blonde hair to her rosy cheeks and finally his eyes set on her pink lips. He wondered how it felt to press his own lips onto her. He shook his head. He had to take this slowly. No matter how he suddenly loved her, she didn't know anything about imprint.
"Luna!" Hermione familiar voice called her. Luna turned her head and waved when she saw her best friends were walking toward her.
"Are they your friend?" Jacob asked. Luna beamed at him and nodded, making him smiled as well.
"Who are you and tell me that you didn't do anything to our friend?" Ron asked rudely, earning a nudge from his girlfriend.
"Don't be rude, Ronald. Hello, I am Hermione Granger." Hermione smiled sweetly at them. Ron suddenly felt insecure and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"I am Jacob Black; these are Embry Call, Quil Ateara, and Jared Thail. Nice to meet you" Jacob said.
"I am Harry and these are Ron and Ginny." Harry smiled and offered his hand. Each of them said their 'hello' and 'nice to meet you' before sat down and join the circle and started some conversation.
"Do all of you go to Forks High School?" Jared asked, feeling disgusted when the though of these nice people shared a school with vampires.
"Yes, we do. It's the closest school from our home. Do you guys still in school?" Hermione asked, leaning to Ron.
"Yeah, we go to La Push High. Well except for Jared here. They have graduated last year." Quil said, pointing the two. Harry observed the big shirtless boys as they asked about being new additions in a boring and small town. They seemed nice with their playful personality. They all looked alike and if they didn't say their last name, Harry could swear they were brother. His green orbs moved to the Jacob guy. He had noticed the way the Jacob guy stared and smiled at Luna.
'He likes Luna' Harry thought amused. Harry felt happy for her but secretly he little worried. A talk with Draco earlier about non-humans in this town made him wondered if these guys weren't human too. They were too big and too warm; he noticed it when they shook hands, for a normal human being. He hoped even though they weren't normal muggle, they weren't bad people. It was about time Luna found someone after all she had been through.
"It's getting dark. We have to go" Harry announced as he looked at his watch. They stood up and said their goodbye. He noticed Luna and Jacob looked disappointed and smiled.
"Will you visit again?" Jacob asked Luna with sad expression on his face. Embry, Quil, and Jared snorted from behind him but Jacob ignored them. Luna smiled and nodded.
"Of course, bye bye" Luna said before skipped away with her friends. Jacob heard kissy-kissy voiced behind him and glared at his brothers.
"Shut up" He snapped but only got laughs as respond.
"You'll meet her again tomorrow, Jake" Jared said, slapping his shoulder. Jacob glared at them before ran into the wood.
"Where're you going?" Embry called him when they saw a glint of big russet coloured wolf ran through the wood. He looked at Quil and Jared and shook their head together, suddenly had a feeling what Jacob would do.
Jacob kept pace with Harry's car as he ran through the woods. He wanted to know where she lived so he could visit her. Jacob watched as the silver car turned into a small side street that led up to a big house hidden behind the trees. The car was turned off and he saw Luna got out from the car and skipped into the house. Jacob smiled; he liked the way Luna skipped and twirling her body around. He found it cute and made her unique in special way.
Jacob looked around the house and saw two windows. He couldn't see anything so he phased back to human and pulled on his shorts. He didn't know which one Luna's room window was, so he just climbed the nearby tree where he was well hidden from the window. Jacob's brown eyes searched for a familiar blonde hair in the dark room. He waited for few minutes before the door of the bedroom was opened. His eyes lit up when he saw Luna skipped into the room. He smiled and watched for a moment when Luna busily looking for something from a drawer and skipped out the room. Jacob sighed in disappointed and climbed down the tree before ran back home. He definitely would visit tomorrow.
Harry and co walked into the living room and immediately greeted by Draco and Arianna snogging heatedly on the sofa. Ron made a face at the sight and let out a loud chough. The couple stopped their hot session but didn't let go of each other.
"Oh, you're back" Arianna said, removing her arm from Draco's neck.
"Next time please go to your room if you want to have your hot session. What if someone else walk in?" Ron said. Draco snorted. The girls, minus Luna who was skipping upstairs, rolled their eyes and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Harry, Ron and Draco sat on the dinning table, watching their girlfriends cook.
"Whatever, Weasley. I have good news for all of you. I have figured what Cullen is" Draco said, putting a book called 'The Weirdest Mythical Creatures in the World and Their un-Explained Trait'. Harry and Ron's attention was caught by his announcement.
"What are they?" Ron asked impatiently.
"Vampires. They are different from vampires we have met before. I found that there is a kind of vampire who doesn't burn in the daylight. They're sparkle instead"
"Sparkle? You got to be kidding me. What kind of vampire sparkle?" Ron complained.
"I don't know, Weasley. I got that from the book and there's no explanation why this vampire sparkle instead of burn in the daylight. Maybe it's new kind of vampire. And about the eyes, red eyes mean it drinks human blood and topaz eyes mean it drinks animal blood. They can be killed by rip out their limps and then throw them into fire." Draco said.
"Vampire, huh?" Harry murmured.
"We still need to keep our distance, though. Although they don't drink human blood, doesn't mean they have great control over human blood and maybe wizard and witch. We absolutely smell different than muggle." Hermione said, putting some plate on the table.
"Yes, we smell different because we have magic in our blood, but I think our blood scents don't affect them that much. If they do, the Cullen will leave school immediately, but they just sat there and observed us." Draco said.
"Observed us?" Ginny asked.
"Yes, at lunch. The only one who observed openly was the guy named Edward. The other looked away but they did glance at us occasionally like they knew we're not regular human." Draco said. The silence swept the dinning room as they began to think individually about it. The silence was broken when Luna skipped down the stair, humming happily.
"What's wrong with her? She seems so happy" Arianna asked, looking at Luna curiously. Harry smiled.
"We met some boys at the beach and I think Luna has a crush on one of them" Harry said, smiling.
"What?" Arianna and Draco's eyes widen. Ginny and Hermione looked at each other before giggled, obviously knew about it and maybe who the said boy was, while Ron looked at Harry like he had grown two head.
