Moonlight Mist
Chapter4
The day went by very fast like yesterday; we walked out of the school to Mariah's and me and Kira got in, she got into the front seat and I got into the back. Mariah went over to Maurice and told him and the boys that we would meet then there, a few minutes later the door opened and she got in the drivers seat and started the car. She pulled out of the parking lot and down the road to the beach, Kira turned the radio on.
"Oh I love this song!" Mariah screamed and started dancing, Kira was dancing to. The song was kind of catchy so I sated dancing too. We danced and sung all the way down the road, they are so funny because neither of them could sing but they did anyway. We arrived at the beach and she pulled into the parking lot and into a spot then turned the car off and we just sat there waiting for the boys. You already know I'm going to be even more withdrawn from everyone for obvious reasons but still be apart of the group. We all got out of the car and looked for the boys, all of a sudden the pain that I thought went away this morning came back all at once and I hunched over holding onto the car.
"Kathryn what's wrong sweetie?!" Mariah screamed coming closer and putting her hand on my shoulder.
"Damn, your skin is burning up, are you sick babe?!" she said still screaming
"No, my body is a little sore, I think its cramps, can you take me home?" I struggled but finally said, I lied the pain was killing me but I didn't want them, she and Kira were freaking out, Mariah got into the car and Kira was about to get in but Mariah told her to stay here and wait for the guys so she stepped back from the car and Mariah stepped on the gas and flew out of the parking lot and onto the road. Thank go the beach wasn't that far from my house.
"Hang in there Kat, I'm almost there" she said a little calmer this time, she pulled up to my house and I got out then closed the door and started up the steps, I had no idea why I was hurting this bad but I was.
"Kathryn are you going to be ok?!" she yelled worried out of the car window
"I'll be fine, you go have fun ok, I'm just going to lie down ok" I yelled back and she gave another worried look and I motioned her to go and she reluctantly pulled off. That pissed me off for some reason, I tried to go up the steps but I fell to the ground on my hands and knees, trembling profusely with rage. Just then I heard a loud noise like and explosion and the next thing I knew I was running towards the woods in my back yard, I reached the woods and I was running really fast, faster than a usual human because of how fast the trees were going by me. As I was running I hear a deep familiar male voice in my head and it said:
: Kitty, sweetie, I need you to go to the nearest clearing and wait for either me, Leah Clearwater, or Jack Black
: Who are you?
Before he could answer I was at the clearing, I stopped and sat down on the grass
: I am there
A new voice spoke it was deep and lovely
: I'm almost near her I can see her in the clearing, I'll go in slow so I won't scare her
: I'm almost there Kitty, Leah were are you?
A female voice spoke now and it was sweet and velvety I supposed it was Leah's voice
: I'm almost there too
: Do you have clothes for her?
: Yes, I've go them
I sat there in confusion at the conversation in my head, I laid my head on the ground trying to block out the voices in my head, I thought I was going crazy. I looked up at the trees trying to calm myself, the sunlight was peeking through them then I looked at the ground, the sunlight was shining of the grass like a million diamonds. I heard a twig break in the distance I stood up in alarm. Then I saw a shadow in the trees, this looked all too familiar, I know! This was from my dream, the trees, the sunlight shining off the ground I knew what came next after that, my heart began to race.
I heard an exploding noise much like the one I heard earlier and a white light, then a tall figure emerged from the shadows a little bit more. It was a boy, a tall, handsome boy he walked a little bit further toward me, all that was showing was from the neck down then he stopped dead in his tracks, my eyes went strait to his body, glowing from the sunlight that hit it. Just then another boy crashed through the trees, his face was familiar his feet skidded on the ground and he stopped her turned to look at me, as soon as we made I contact I knew who it was.
A big grin formed on his face I ran and tackled him, he was laughing and I think I was licking his face, whatever. I got off of him and them a girl came running through the trees she had a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. She smiled at me and motioned me to follow her so I did; she said something that confused the hell out of me
"Kathryn, my name is Leah Clearwater and I need you to do something for me" she said, I cocked my head to the side in confusion
I need you to concentrate on phasing back, just think about something that pisses you off, you really need to do that for me and we will explain everything" she said, what the hell is she talking about but I figured I try to do what she said so she can tell me what the hell is going on. I try to concentrate and thought about how I felt when Kevin said what he said to me about me and my cousin, and then I exploded next thing I knew I was eye height with Leah and she smiled at me.
"Amazing, you did that very fast, that's very special Kathryn!" she said hugging me
"Now put this on and we'll go talk" she smiled handing me a blue shirt and tan shorts then she started back to the clearing. I quickly put the shirt and shorts and followed her; Embry was sitting on a rock waiting for us, he stood up with a serious look on his face.
"Sit down Kitty, we need to talk" he said as I sat down
"Kitty, you went through your first transformation today" he said and my face scrunched up in confusion
"My what, and into what?" I asked
"Into what we call the protectors, you know the stories I used to tell you when we were younger about our ancestors descending from wolves, and that they call these people the protectors that……" he paused trying to find the right words to say.
"We are werewolves and your one too sweetie, we protect humans from our enemy, the cold ones" Leah said, several emotions played across my face, I was just lost, my mind was blank it couldn't even piece this together.
"I'm a what?" I mused trying to think
"Yes sweetie you are and we need you because we hear of a threat going to attack and we need you to be ready" she said again, I gave her a dazed look as she held my face between her strong but gentle hands and spoke again
"Kathryn we know this is a bit much but you need to focus so we can train you, this is what we are made for" she said in a sweet tone now I snapped fully out of my trance and nodded
"Now were are going to go to Emily's house and give you some time to understand this ok" Embry said to me kissing me on my forehead
"Where is Jacob?" Leah said looking around, then me and Embry looked to, he was no were to be found
"I don't know, were did his mangy ass go, I'll go fined him and meet you back at Sam's house" Leah nodded and he smiled at me then took off running through the woods then I heard the same explosion and a howl we both smiled.
"It'll be ok Kitty, do you mind if I call you Kitty" she said putting one hand on my shoulder, I smiled and nodded she smiled back.
"Ok, now there is a wire in the pocket of your shorts, tie your clothes around your leg and then phase so we can be off" she said taking the wire out of her pocket and then stripping, I closed my eyes so that I wouldn't see her I guess she tie her clothes to her leg because I heard her phase and I opened my eyes and there was a smallish grey wolf looking at my. She started walking towards the forest and I quickly took my clothes off and tied them, then I did what she told me to do to help me phase and when I did we took off into the woods.
: Kitty, just keep your eyes on me and follow ok
: Ok
We were going very fast, I was right on her tail; we had to have covered 40 miles. I could see a medium sized white house getting closer and closer, there were a lot of very tall boys sitting around where I guess a fire would be, laughing and talking, It had to be about 15 guys there. She stopped just at the edge of the forest and phased back into her human form, I did the same; we both put clothes on and started towards the house. By now the boys had all stopped talking and looked at us Leah didn't seem to notice, so I tried to ignore them too. We walked across the field and then up the steps into the house, all eyes were on me, they looked like they were in a trance, Leah stopped me and had a very serious look on her face then spoke.
"Kitty, I have to tell you something before we go in, my cousin Emily is in here and she is married to the other alpha wolf in the area, when he got mad one time he hurt her not on purpose but she has scares so try not to stare ok" her serious face faded away and a sweet smile appeared, I nodded and we walked in. The girl I assumed was Emily was steady cooking, there were about several platters on the little round table and the others on the counters, the house had the whole family vibe to it, I felt so warm here. The girl turned around and she was absolutely beautiful except for the right side of her face was scarred from her hairline to the bottom of her face with three thick, red scares that were healed. One scar pulled down the corner of her right eye, and another one twisted the right side of her mouth into a permanent frown. I quickly averted my eyes to the platters, Leah went over and hugged her, then they both looked at me, Emily was in shock while Leah smiled.
"This is her?" she mused
"Yup, that's her" Leah said proudly
"Why is everyone looking at me like that?!" I said laughing
"Oh sorry honey, it's just amazing" she said
"What's amazing?" I said puzzled,
"Kitty sit down, I have more things to tell you" I sat down in one of the little chairs and Emily and Leah sat across from me.
"Kitty, you are the second female werewolf to ever be created that we know of so that's why they are all looking at you like that!" she said smiling
"Besides the fact that you are simply exquisite" Emily said making me blush, Emily got up and took four chickens out of the refrigerator and sat them on the counter and seasoned them.
"Can you ladies take the sandwiches out side and sit them on the picnic tables out there, thanks?" she asked we both said sure and I picked up the turkey and cheese platters that had to of had like 20 sandwiches total on there. She picked up the roast beef and we walked outside. It was dark outside and they had the fire going and a long spit was sitting on one of the tables. We sat the sandwiches on the table, and I took four and ate them. Not all the boys stared at my now, only some. We walked back into the house to get the salads, we got them and sat the on the same table.
Then before we walked back in to get the chicken, Leah went over to three of the guys and said something; I guess she told him to get the spit ready because we were going to bring the chickens out, she nodded and walked back over to me. I followed her back into the house and got the chicken, they were in a foil container. We carried them out to be cooked, were the fire was, three boys were holding the spit not that it was heavy but that it was kind of long. One of the boys was grinning in a goofy way and the other was giving me this smirk, Leah and I reached them and sat the containers on the ground.
"Here you go guys, there seasoned and ready!" she said cheerfully, and then the tallest one spoke.
"Hello Kathryn, I am Sam Uley, it's nice to finally meet you" he said flashing a wide smile and shaking my hand, holding it for a moment, and then letting it go.
"Nice to meet you Sam" I said in a low voice
"This is Seth, my little brother" she introduced him and he flushed, I smiled, I don't see how he can be her 'little brother' when he had to be about 6'3.
"And this one with the…..whip that smirk off your face Quil!" she yelled and his face went serious. I me and Seth chuckled.
"Nice to meet you Quil" I giggled and he gave an embarrassed smile then they started to put the chickens on the spit and Leah went around to introduce me to the 'family'. She walked me over to four guys sitting in a row talking and laughing but as soon as I walked up it got quiet.
"Hey guys, this is Kathryn" they waved at me kind of dazed, I waved back.
"Kitty this is Collin, Brady, Ethan and Noah" they all were tall and handsome but Collin and Brady looked younger and were shorter then Ethan and Noah. They all had on just cut off shorts and there beautiful russet skin was glowing from the fire. She walked me over to another set of boys that were just as beautiful, and I noticed that every boy's hair was cut short and I liked the hair cuts. I could see that the chickens were done and every boy was eating at least 2 ponds of food
"Hey, this is Kathryn" they waved and gave little side smiles, I waved and smiled back.
"Kathryn, this is Paul, Jared, Dylan, Elijah and Chris" they looked older and taller than the other bunch I met, but they had the same haircut and the same cut off jeans. Then I looked over Leah's shoulder and saw my cousin sitting next to three other guys I ran over there and hugged him.
"Hey Kitty!" he said as I detached myself from him grinning from ear to ear
"I see you meet most of the family, come meet the rest!" he said taking my hand and pulling me towards the remaining three boys.
"This is Gavin and Xavier" they waved and smiled like the others did, just then the third guy walked up and stuck out his hand, I took it.
"I don't believe we've formally met, I'm Jacob" his velvety voice rain through my body giving me chills, when I took his hand and when our eyes met, I gasped and our eyes widened, I felt strange but all I know is that all that mattered was him, I wanted to just be next to him and never leave. We held onto each others hand for few moments, staring into each others eyes, just then Leah grabbed me and took me into the house, everyone looked at me until we disappeared into the house. Leah was cussing running her fingers through her crow-black hair.
"What?!" I screamed she answered a few moments later
"Wow, we didn't think this would happen to him again!" she said in a low voice, and then she went of into an indistinctive rant, pacing back and forth. I heard rustling out side and voices but I was worried about what happened between me a Jacob, Emily came out of one of the rooms, with worry and concern on her face when she saw Leah pacing.
"Leah what's wrong, what did I do?!" I screamed again she finally answered me
"Kathryn come sit down, you may not understand this at first but you will in time" she said in her serious voice.
Kathryn, Jacob imprinted on you" she said waiting to se what my answer would be.
"He what?" I said disorientation
"He imprinted on you Kitty, when a wolf transforms along with do his duties to the pack, the wolf also is looking for their soul mate or other half, and your Jacob's" she said and my face flickered with emotion.
"What freaked everyone out was that he imprinted before, we didn't know if you could do a second imprint" she continued, my face was still a little disorientation and confused but I seemed to curl up a smile on my face, Emily and Leah looked at each other and shook there heads. Leah grabbed a chair and sat down next to me on the right and Emily sat on the left of me and then Leah spoke again.
"What did you feel before I pulled you into the house?" she asked
"I felt like he was the only thing that mattered in the world, even more than me and that all I wanted was to be with him and never leave his side" I replied confused
"Yup, your stuck, he imprinted on you" her and Emily chuckled
"So that's why he left earlier, he couldn't handle it" she said under her breath but I heard her
"Why couldn't he handle it?" I asked
"Kitty, his imprint was a half human half bloodsucking spawn and she was a baby when it happened so when a wolf imprints on a young person and is like a brother or in our case sister to the person, the wolf waits until the person grows up and then they can have a romantic relationship," she said through her clenched teeth.
"Another one of those wolf things, Sam imprinted on me, you'll get use to it and love him more every second in every day honey, and it will hurt to be away from, but three or four months ago his imprinted and her family left for some reason and said he couldn't go with them, that killed him, he actually tried to kill himself a couple times because of her but he's some what recovered now and especially because you came along he will forget all about her and just be focused on you, give it some time ok" Emily said putting her arm around me.
"Yeah all this being sprung on you in one day, we have to give you some time for all this to settle in, I just hope this doesn't interfere with you training" Leah trailed off, getting up and pacing again.
"You know what you could do, you could let Jacob train her" Emily teased, I sat there lost in thought but Leah broke me out of it.
"Kitty, go get some rest and we'll talk in the morning ok" she said patting me on the shoulder and walking out of the door
"Come on sweetie, just try to get some rest ok" she said as she walked me into her yard long, narrow hall way and into one of the rooms. It was just the right size for me; it had a full-sized bed, to bedside tables with little white lamps on them. I said goodnight to Emily and laid down on the bed, it was so comfy. I laid there and all I could think about was Jacob, and was he ok, I just wanted to be with him right now. I was exhausted so I drifted off to sleep. My eyes opened in a huge field I looked up into the sky and the sky was a dark shade of burgundy, then my eyes moved to the brightest thing in the sky, it was the moon, it was bright crimson and all around me I heard growling and snarling.
