SamI call everybody to meet on the beach. Running, I easily transform into my wolf-shape. My black fur lets me easily melt into the night. I continue to run as Jared, Jacob, and some others fall in beside me. Our minds are linked and I scan briefly through everyone's thoughts. We reach the moonlit beach.
"This is about the vampires," I say to everyone.
"Stupid leeches," Embry huffs. Jacob growls at him.
"Enough. Recently, they have been taking things a step to far. We need to do something about this," I say sternly.
"But what are we going to do about that Valerie girl? As long as they're both into her, thing will never get resolved," Jared questions.
"I know, I know. We-" I'm cut off by Paul entering into wolf form. He runs toward us. His thoughts swirl through our heads.
"Since when are you the one to be all responsible and virtuous?" Leah snorts, referring to Paul's previous actions in Valerie's room.
"Hey, I was protecting her," He snarls defensively.
"Yeah, by taking your shirt off," Jacob chortles.
"She's different…" Paul sighs.
"Alright! As I was saying, this is something we have to take care of. So, from now on, no more contact with the leeches… er Cullens," I finish.
"But-"
"Yeah, yeah… Jake you are an exception," I sigh wearily. He grins his stupid, goofy grin at me and begins to run lazily toward the Cullens.
I'm about to wrap the meeting up when Paul says, "Whoa, Leah… he's a little young for you, don't you think?" Paul chuckles meanly. "Shut it Paul!" Leah growls at him. I look at Leah's thoughts. Trevor. "No. Everyone go mind your own damn business," Leah begins to trot away. "No problem, just keep your daydreams about you and the kid out of our heads!" Paul teases back. I half-heartedly reprimand him.
Paul rolls his eyes and starts to run back the way he came. We can all see that he's going back to Valerie. I sigh and head home. I just hope things with the vamps will stay peaceful. Sadly, I doubt that's going to be the case.
Valerie
I awake alone in my bed. Frantically, I sit up and curse myself for having been so stupid as to let Paul come inside and even kiss me no less! Stupid! I shouldn't have let him get that close to me. It was a rookie mistake. A rustle to my left interrupts my internal scolding and surprisingly painful aching near my chest. I look over and see Paul leaning back in my desk chair, smirking.
"Missing something?" He grins. I shoot him my best glare and quiet my beating heart.
"No, just glad to have all this room to myself," I reply with an innocent smile, stretching languidly out on my bed.
"Well you certainly seemed glad to have company last night," Paul remarks with a wink and I can't help but notice his lack of a shirt still. I feel my face flush and any clever retort dissolves in a stammer. Still looking at him, I see the bandage is gone.
"What?" I stand up and go to stand beside him, bending slightly so as to examine where his wound had been.
"What?" He follows my eyes to the spot on his abdomen. "Oh, right," he chuckles, "Remember how I said werewolves heal fast?" I lightly touch the now completely healed area and see only the faintest of pink scarring. "Woah," I breathe, hand still on his side. Paul grins again and slips his hand under mine and pulls me to him.
"Hey Val, can you-" Trevor opens my door and freezes, eyes wide. "Uh, never mind," he backs out slowly, and I cringe at how it must look. Paul in my room early in the morning with me on his lap, I shake my head and move to stand up. Paul follows and we stand there for a moment. Finally Paul wraps me in his arms and says, "So that was fun, we should do that more often." I give him a mock glare and reply, "Sadly no. You can't just show up at my bedroom window like some weird Romeo," I keep my expression stern, "And we especially can't do anything like this," I gesture to our embrace, "Around Trevor." Paul releases me and I feel a strange emptiness without him near.
"Well, alright," he concedes, hands in the air, "But when you find you can't resist me anymore, you know where to find me," he throws me a winning smirk and kisses me on the cheek before disappearing out the window.
"You could use the door y'know!" I call out after him. He turns grinning, "Yeah but then I couldn't be your Romeo," and with that he runs out past the street and into the forest.
Trevor
Ugh. The sight of my sister and Paul had been too gross to even think about. I liked the guy but definitely did not want to see him with my sister like that. A small part of me got angry at him being in her room, but I quickly squashed it. I'd sworn to protect her, but I certainly didn't want to get in between her and any decent guy. And Paul seemed just as protective of her as I was, which must be a good thing. Right? Then again, he is a werewolf, I shook my head and marveled at the fact that I could accept that fact. Leah's also a werewolf, another part of me pointed out. Yeah, but it doesn't matter, does it?
I hear Val bounding down the stairs and watch blank faced as she rushes into the kitchen, almost knocking over my bowl of Lucky Charms.
"Hey! Watch it Juliet!" I snatch the bowl up just as her hands come in contact with the counter top. She grimaces.
"You heard that huh?"
"Only the last bit," I say with a sympathetic smile. "But listen, I like Paul, I just didn't expect you to be so… uh… open with him so soon," I grit my teeth at the last part, hoping she won't slap me. I glance at her, prepared to use my cereal as a shield if necessary. Instead she stands there, biting her lip and thinking.
"Well," she finally says, "I wasn't that "open" with him, since you were so kind as to worry about that." She rolls her eyes and continues, "But yeah, he kind of just showed up at my window. But I won't let it happen again; don't worry so much little bro," she exits the kitchen after ruffling my hair. I sigh and ruffle it back into place. I wouldn't have to worry if she wasn't always hanging around vampires and werewolves. They shouldn't even exist! I crunch my last marshmallow in protest and head upstairs to get ready for the day.
The school day crawls by in a blur of boring lectures and notes. Monday. I hate Mondays. The heavy rain doesn't help much either, I think glumly to myself as I exit the building after last period. I look around for Val, hoping she'll run through the rain to the car and pick me up under the building's overhang.
"Trevor!" A female voice calls me. I turn to see Leah and Paul standing under the edge of the roof, just barely out of the rain. Seeing Leah makes my heart beat faster and I run my hand through my hair, making sure it looks okay.
"Hey guys," I say as I come to stand beside them. Nodding to Paul I add, "Nice to see you again." Leah rolls her eyes as Paul grins.
"So, we were thinking you and Valerie could head to the reservation with us," Paul said, leaning against the wooden beam holding that section of roof up.
"Tonight?" I ask in surprise. Not that I'm a big believer in homework, but the teachers keep handing it out like its Christmas. I'm saved from answering by Valerie joining us.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" She asks.
"Wanted to know if you two could come to the reservation tonight," Leah replies curtly before Paul can flirt. I can't help but notice how the rain and mist make her dark eyes and hair stand out beautifully.
"Hm, tonight," Valerie bites her lip. "I don't know, it's a Monday, we have work to do," she glances at me, wanting my opinion. Once again I'm saved from having to answer when one of the Cullens, Jasper I believe, strides up to us. His eyes are a fiery golden and their narrowed in fury.
"What are you doing here mongrel?" His snarl is directed toward Paul, but Leah's fists tighten and she tenses.
"Just hangin'," Paul's tense as well, but I can tell he's making an effort to stay calm around all the people. Valerie takes a couple steps to be in between the two.
"They were just asking if we could go to the La Push reservation tonight," she puts a hand on Jasper's arm and that instantly makes him back down slightly. Paul, on the other hand, growls at their touch.
"Trevor, we should go. Never mind about the reservation, I'll take you home," Leah cuts in, grabbing my arm and dragging me into the rain.
"But Val! I need to protect her! Those two are time bombs!" I protest and pull away. She rolls her eyes and drags me close to her. I feel the heat of being so close and fight to keep my resolve.
"Listen Trevor, neither of them will ever, ever hurt her. I can promise you that," she looks up at me and I melt inside.
"Oh- okay, as long as she'll be safe," I finally sigh and allow myself to be pulled along through the rain to Val's car. I catch a last glimpse of them just as Valerie throws a sick punch at Paul's shoulder. Yep, she'll be fine.
