CH 2

After eating dinner and spending some time with dad I decided to head down to the reservation beach that he had reminded us about. "Rayvn I don't want you out to late it is a school night."

"yes yes. Don't worry, I'm taking the bike so I will be fast, I just want to check it out." With that I threw on some jeans and grabbed my helmet before climbing onto my Suzuki GSX. And then I was winding down the road at a speed that was definitely over the limit, my surroundings nothing more than a blur. Man is this place green. It wasn't long before I was pulling into the parking lot of the near empty beach. Climbing off the bike I remove my helmet and shake out my hair, well aware I have already gained the attention of the few people who dare the beach at this time. I walked until I found a fallen tree to sit on not far from the crashing waves. It wasn't long before one of the locals came up to me, one who looked kind of familiar. "Rayvn?" huh? "Yes?" the boy, who looked no older than 18 sent me a smile "don't remember me?"

"sorry no."

"Jake, we use to play together when we were kids." Yah I don't think so kid, I haven't been a child for centuries. But he continued "your dad use to bring you three down when he went fishing with my dad. Its Jacob." Oh shit "Black?" a beaming smile lifted his lips, "yah that's me."

"what how?" how was he still alive. He chuckled a little, "he didn't tell you?"

"tell me what?"

"were shifters down on the reservation. Wolves."

"wolf shifters?"

"yah, me and most of the boys around here, and Leah."

"Leah!?" fucking hell I thought for sure she would be long gone by now. "yah she shifted a little after me, fist and only girl actually." Well shit. "wow, little Jakey huh."

"ha, yah that's me."

"so a wolf?" I asked as he took a seat next to me.

"yah, one week I'm feeling like hell with a major temper problem, the next I'm standing on four furry feet. And you, you're a witch?" I raised a brow, "your dad told us when he found out you guys were coming back."

"huh, wow. I thought you all would be dead by now, no offense."

"non taken" he sent back right as 3 other boys interrupted. The older one speaking with a glare "whose your friend Jacob?" I could already tell I didn't like him from the way Jake's smile dropped off his face immediately. "this is Rayvn, one of the Chiefs daughters. These are Sam, Paul and Jared."

"oh right. You know its weird, we never heard anything about him having kids until he mentioned to Billy you were coming back." I got up and grabbed my helmet, "oh? I wonder why." Was all I gave him as I went to walk past, only to have him step in front of me. I looked up and into his eyes raising a brow, "is there is something you need?"

Isabella POV

It had been a couple hours since Rayvn had taken off and the sun had already set so I was starting to get worried. I know she can take care of herself but dad just told us about the shifters down there. "I'm sure she's fine Izz. This is Ray were talking about, I'd be more worried about the shifters than her."

"I know I know. It's just, something about this place feels off this time around."

"how so?"

"I don't know Aidan, it feels, tense."

"well, their shifters, temperamental shifters. But Ray can handle herself without a doubt."

"I know." And I did, but it was more than that, this feeling was nagging at me like crazy. It settled down a little though as soon as I heard her bike pull into the driveway. I was flying down the stairs in seconds as she walked through the door. She looked up startled "everything alright little one?"

"you tell me, dad told us about the wolves."

"do you doubt my ability?"

"Ray…" she let out a chuckle, "Do you remember Jacob Black? And Leah Clearwater?" from the reservation? We grew up with them, use to play all the time while our dads fished. "yeah, from the reservation, why?"

"shifters do not age if they continue to shift my dear."

"yeah so-ohhh." Well shit. "wow."

"yah I saw Jake, he hasn't seemed to change to much, but I ran into a few others of his pack. Not as pleasant."

"what happened?"

"Nothing. He obviously knows we aren't human, and he seems to have something against anything not human or shifter."

"did he try anything?" she let out a snort "nope. He's still alive. It's late Izz we should get some sleep for school tomorrow." Nodding my head I kiss her cheek good night and make my way back towards my room. I am definitely going to have to make time to go see Jake and Leah now that I know they are still alive. Now that I wasn't worried about Rayvn a certain blonde invaded my thoughts. That didn't change when I finally fell asleep, all she did was invade my dreams.

When I woke up next it was to my sisters alarm blaring in the next room over. I quickly made my way to the shower before one of them got to it first. I was dressed and eating breakfast by the time my brother walked down with my sister dragging her feet behind him. I could tell from the look on her face her mood wasn't going to be stable today. Dad had already gone to work and mom was working on renovating her new business. So we ate in silence before piling back into Ray's car.

When we pulled up into the lot my eyes automatically went to her where she stood a few spots down looking at the car. The next thing I noticed was that one Cullen my sister charmed yesterday, we removed the spell but it didn't look like that mattered. He still had a stupid grin on his face when she got out of the car. He walked up towards us not even noticing the scowl on my sister's face. "Rayvn good morning. How about I walk you to class." And then he held out his hand for her bag like some gentlemen. My sister walked off without missing a beat "how about you walk away from me instead." The idiot blinked once before walking after her and I didn't bother trying to listen as I shook my head with my brother. "20 buck says she sets him on fire before the end of the day." I rolled my eyes at Aidan and pushed him off choosing to wait a little longer by the car. It didn't take long for her to reach me "hello?" I looked up to meet her golden eyes and beautiful smile "hello."

"your Isabella yes?"

"I am yes, news travels fast in a small town." She chuckled lightly "yes it does. I'm Rosalie."

"I know, we have art together." I smirked at her. For a second it looked as if she should be blushing but no color rose to her pale cheeks. "right. Well-" the bell interrupted whatever she was going to say and I swear I heard her growl as the sound before glaring towards the school before turning back to me "can I walk you to class?" tilting my head at her hopeful expression before nodding it I followed her into the school. Why the hell did everyone say she was such a bitch? We walked side by side in silence with just about everyone staring until we reached my class, "would you like to sit with me at lunch perhaps?" hmmm, I have to admit I am curious about this one, but I don't like making friends with humans, not anymore. But I think my siblings can manage without me for a day, and I get to sit far away from Jessica and Mike. "sure. I will see you then." A beautiful smile lit up her face "great, awesome yah I'll see then. Enjoy your classes Isabella."

"you as well Rosalie" I murmured before making my way into my first class. I had toned down the goth clothes a bit so most of the staring must have been from the fact I just walked to class with an infamous Cullen. I sat through my first three classes ignoring most of the other students, I didn't notice that Mike was in my third class yesterday, but since we sat with him and his friends he thought he would talk my ear off. I practically flew out of the class with him calling after me. by the time I wound my way to the cafeteria my siblings were already at the table with Mike's friends, Jessica leaning towards Rayvn as she slouched in her chair looking annoyed. Aidan was talking, I think his name was Ben, and Angela. The Cullen's were also already at their table, missing one. Rosalie sat off sat an empty table by her self with a water in front of her. I got in line to grab my own and a salad with Mike rambling on behind me. it didn't catch my attention until he mentioned her, "wonder what the ice queen did top get kicked off her families table."

"nothing." I replied as I paid and headed off towards her taking my seat. "good afternoon Isabella." She said with a smile. "hey Rosalie. How were your classes."

"Boring. Yours?"

"same."

"mmm it would appear I have pissed off your sister. She doesn't look to pleased with me for stealing you away." She said, following her eyes over my shoulder sure enough Rayvn was sending us a glare that had most running.

I sent her wide innocent eyes that had her looking away with a huff and turned back to a blonde eyebrow raised to which I just shrugged. "I'm the baby. And I think she's more mad that I'm not there to sit between her and Jessica." She let out a little chuckle, "yes that girl seems to be quite-fond of your sister, probably close to as, fond as my brother is." It took everything in me not to groan. "yah I would keep him away from her if I were you, at least today."

"oh, why?"

"…she is not in the best of moods. Are we here to talk about my family?" she sent me a smirk. "yes and no. I want to know you, about you, and you seem close with your family." Hmm. Then why do I feel like there is more to it than that. "yes, we are very close."

"you're the youngest?"

"technically. Me and Aidan are twins. Ray is the oldest."

"Ray?"

"yah I don't recommend calling that to her face right away."

"good to know."

"what about you? You're not all related from what I heard?"

"hmmm. I am also a twin, Jasper and I are twins. Esme our aunt took us in when our parents passed."

"I'm sorry." she waved off my sympathy "it was a long time ago. Emmett and Alice are brother and sister. And the Denali sisters are related. Carlisle took Edward in first a long time ago."

"ahh the good doctor and his wife."

"exactly. Now let's see, favorite color?"

"Blue, yours?"

"Lavender. Favorite hobby?"

"writing and drawing are tied." I use to write and enchant spells for shops so it kind of grew on me. "what about you?"

"working on cars." My brows shot up at that and the look on her face dared me to question her. I chose not to mainly because that was kind of hot. "Nice, you and my sister might actually get along then."

"she knows cars?"

"very few know more about them than her. She did the work on her Camaro and Bike."

"bike?"

"yes she drives a Suzuki GSX."

"wow, that's awesome, id love to see it some time. Lets see, favorite flower?"

"Rose." Automatically left my lips. A soft smile lifted her lips, "mine are lilies. And while I would love to continue this, the bell has rang." Looking around I noticed the other students clearing out.

"then it's a good thing we both have art next."

"yes, it definitely is." As we walked towards art I noticed once again the stares, "we seem to have broken quite a few of Forks high school students Rosalie." She looked up startled "what?"

"I have heard you guys, especially you, don't talk to anyone outside your family. Yet here you are. It has broken the students."

"ahh, yes I don't really see the need in socializing with them."

"then why me?" I asked, for once caring what answer she may have. She looked up with wide eyes, "uh, just you know, your different."

"I'm weird."

"what no! that's not what I meant. Just, worth talking to." She mumbled the last sentence and it just seemed to be out of place on her. "it's fine Rosalie, I usually don't bother either. My siblings and I are usually freaks to most people. Either that or they won't leave us alone." We took our seats in the back. "well, I don't think you're a freak, but I also don't want to leave you alone. But if that's what you want-"

"no. no, I don't want that. Your fine. Thank you for the option though." It so rarely was given, we have countless times made our uninterest clear only to be ignored and continually bothered. We talked like this quietly for the rest of class to even the teachers amazement until the bell rang. "Isabella, would you like to maybe hangout sometime outside of school with me? like maybe Saturday?" I looked up from gathering my things at the hopeful but quiet tone. "sure, but maybe another time, I'm going down to the La Push reservation to visit some old friends." If possible her pale face got paler as her eyes widened, "La Push? You know people down in La Push?"

"yah, a couple people, my dad is good friends with a few people down there so I grew up with their kids."

"I see. Well, please be careful down there. And try not to upset the locals, they aren't the nicest bunch when you know Sam?"

"Sam? No it doesn't sound familiar. And I can take care of myself, plus Rayvn and Aidan will be with me so there is nothing to worry about, but thank you for the concern."

"yah, yah of course. But her, just in case this is my number if you need anything at all. And we can make those plans to hang out soon." With that she was out the door in a rush as I slowly made my way to my last classes of the day. then on the way to the car I couldn't get Rosalie's worried expression out of my mind as she stood next to her car waiting for her family looking towards me upset.
