Here's the new and improved Chapter 3. Hope you like it.
Nikita woke up feeling a drum pounding in her head. She was laying on something hard and cold. Cracking her eyes, a blush erupted on her face when she saw gold hair. The young Quilete was lying on the beautiful girl's chest.
"Good morning."
Nikita jerked away at the sudden voice and looked to see Rosalie smirking at her. "G-good morning."
"Did I seriously just stutter?"
"It seems you slept well." The blonde smirked at the heat on the young girl's face.
"Well, I was pretty comfortable," Nikita stood up and stretch her tired muscles. "Best sleep I've had in a while."
"Well, it is twelve in the afternoon. "Rosalie saw a slip of skin on the tan abdomen as the girl stretched. "Control yourself, Rosalie."
"Oh shit!" Nikita grabbed her jacket and searched around for her shoes as Rosalie watched amused. "Dad is going to kill me."
"I doubt he would kill his little princess." Teased Rosalie as she handed the girl's shoes to her.
"Will you just take me home?" Nikita glared at the blonde for teasing her.
"Let me get dressed at least." Rosalie grabbed an outfit from her closet and made her way to the bathroom.
"I'll help you get undressed," Nikita smirked at her own thought. "I need to stop thinking like this."
Rosalie came out looking flawless as usual. "You ready?"
"As I'll ever be." The young girl sighed as she made her way out of the room and down the stairs. She was surprised to see the other Cullen teens, plus Bella.
"Hey Bells." Nikita greeted her childhood friend.
"Nikita," Bella looked shocked to see the Quilete. "This is where you've been?"
"What do you mean?" Nikki was confused. Sam should have told her father that she came to see Dr. Cullen.
"Jacob has been calling me, asking where you are."
"Well, Jacob doesn't need to worry about me," the tan girl's blood still boiled at the thought of her brother. "I was well taken care of."
"He was just worried about you." Bella tried to reason with the younger girl. She knew Nikita was angry at Jacob for the whole wolf secret.
"He doesn't get to be worried about me," Nikita growled out as her body trembled.
"I think we should go." Rosalie watched her singer's anger climb higher. She wanted her to calm down.
"Yeah, you're right," Nikita took a deep breath to calm herself. "By Bells.
The two girls walked out to Rosalie's car. Once she was sitting down, Nikita couldn't help but dread going home. She knew her father would be angry and she didn't want to deal with him or Jacob.
"Are you okay?" Topaz eyes were laced with concern.
"I'm fine," Green eyes expressed their worry. "I just really don't want to deal with things at home."
"You can come stay with me whenever you want." Rosalie glanced at the girl to see a smile grace her lips.
"Thanks, Rose."
"You need to call someone to come get you." Rosalie knew that she couldn't cross the border.
"Can I use your phone?" Rosalie handed over her cell to the girl. "Fancy."
Nikita dialed a number she knew by heart and waited for the phone to be answered. "Hello?"
"Hey, Leah, can you meet me at the edge of the res that goes to Forks?" Rosalie didn't really want that girl to pick up her singer, but she didn't have a choice. "Okay, thanks."
Rosalie parked the car on the side of the road and they just sat there in silence. Neither one knew what to say. Both knew what they wanted to do.
A red pick up soon pulled over in front of them, and Rosalie could see the older Quileute girl inside. The blonde got out and opened the door for her Quileute who stepped out. Rosalie could tell she didn't want to leave, so she took a chance and gently pushed the human against her car.
"You don't have to leave," Rosalie whispered as she stared into vibrant green eyes. "You could stay with me."
Nikita shivered at Rosalie's cold body pressed against her. "I wish I could."
"Me too," Rosalie looked at the young girl's lips. "You have no idea."
"I think I might." Whispered Nikita as she saw those gold eyes dart down.
Rosalie couldn't take being this close to her singer. She had to do something; she was losing control.
"I'll see you later." Rosalie dipped her head down and placed her icy lips on a warm tan cheek. She let them linger there, smelling the blood rushing underneath the skin. She pulled away and smiled gently at the slightly darkened eyes of the girl beneath her.
"Bye Rose." Nikita whispered as the blonde released her. She walked over to the truck where the hot-tempered Quileute was glaring holes in the vampire's head. Rosalie smirked and arched an eyebrow as she sauntered over to the driver's side and got in her car. With one last look at her blood singer, Rosalie sped off back home.
"What the hell was that?" Leah growled out as the girl's made their way to Nikita's house.
"Nothing."
"That wasn't nothing," Leah rolled her eyes at her younger friend. "She practically had her hands all over you."
"If only." Thought Nikita with a smirk. "So, did you talk to your dad?"
"About the wolf thing?" the 20 year old shrugged. "Apparently the legends are true. You need to talk to your dad about it, Nikki."
"Oh, I will."
Nikita said goodbye to Leah and she made her way into her house. She heard her father talking on the phone and it sounded serious.
"Make sure to keep your kind away from my daughter." Was her father talking to Carlisle about Rosalie?
Nikki made her way into the living room after she was sure he hung up the phone.
"Dad who were you talking to?" Nikki asked as her father turned around, shocked he'd been caught.
"Oh Nikki, I was just talking to...Charlie. About the bears in the woods." Billy lied, although he knew she wouldn't buy it.
"You were talking about Rosalie. Plus it isn't bears in the woods. It's wolves." Nikki said crossing her arms and giving her father a 'look.'
"Listen Nikita-"
"Dad I know what I saw. Jacob turned into wolf!" Nikki knew she shouldn't be getting worked up but she was angry that no one told her.
"Nikki, the legends of our tribe are more than just legends." Billy said watching his daughter as she stopped to think about the tribes stories.
"So the stories about coming from wolves and The Cold Ones...the Cullens. They're true?" Nikki asked. She really just wished her father would tell her instead of making her think.
"I'm sorry Nikki. I would've told you sooner, but Jacob wanted to protect you. Your brother didn't want you getting mixed into things." Billy said trying to get his daughter to understand.
"Does this mean I'm going to turn? Do I have to worry about growing hair all over my body?" Nikki wasn't sure she quite liked the idea of hair growing everywhere..
"Females don't shift." Billy told his daughter who was taking this better than expected.
"Okay so what? Jake was just going to be a big dog and I was going to be kept in the dark the whole time?" Nikita felt her blood boiling a little.
"We were going to tell you Nikki but I could never thing of how." Billy said, telling the truth.
"I just don't want to be kept in the dark dad," Nikki felt guilty about getting mad at her father. "Were you a wolf?"
Billy smiled at that; his daughter had always been a curious girl. "No, I carry the gene, but it remained dormant and I passed it to Jacob."
That answer just confused the girl even more. "What do you mean it was dormant?"
"For the gene to activate, we have to be exposed to certain...people." Billy said not knowing how to word it.
"You mean the Cold Ones? Vampires right? The Cullens are in our legends," Nikki was shocked. If the Cold Ones were the enemies, then why were the boys helping them? "Is that why the boys are changing?"
"The gene was dormant, because I wasn't exposed to them."
"Okay. So if we don't like the Cullen's then why is the pack helping them?" So many questions.
"The Cullen's are animal drinkers, but there are others who drink human. There is a redhead leech that is after Bella so we are working with the Cullen's to make sure she is safe. We protect humans from them Nikki." Billy didn't know how she found out about the collaboration between them.
"So the Cullens are better than the human drinkers but we don't trust them?" Nikki sat on the couch running her hands through her hair.
Billy remembered when his own father had explained this all to him and the confusion it brought. "It is confusing but you got it. The wolves are the guardians of the tribe."
"Thanks for explaining. I think I'm just going to go hang out with Leah now." Nikki smiled as Billy nodded and went for the phone that had started to ring. Nikita had run up to her room to change and when she came back down, she knew something was wrong.
"What is it, Dad?"
"Harry had a heart attack," Billy had a mournful look on his face. "That's not even the worst part. Leah shifted."
"I thought females couldn't? Now Leah's going to be like Jacob and disappear?" Nikki couldn't handle it if her best friend stopped hanging out with her.
"I'm afraid we were wrong," Billy said, hoping to not upset the young girl anymore. "Leah will have duties now."
"That's really great. I think I'm going to go drive around for a bit and clear my head." Nikki said as she grabbed her car keys and headed out the door with Billy following behind her.
"Nikita!" he yelled trying to get her attention, but she took off in her car. Billy had noticed how Nikki's body has started to tremble before she had gotten up. He hoped that it was just her emotions taking over and not the wolf trying to break free.
While Nikki was having everything explained to her, Rosalie was being confronted.
"Why the hell did you even go after her Rose?" asked a confused and angry Emmett, her husband.
"I couldn't just let her drown Emmett!" she countered, angry at him for even thinking she would let the Quileute die.
"Why not? It's not like you've cared about a human before! Especially a Quileute!" he yelled right back.
The other Cullen's just say there watching the couple fight back and forth. Emmett did have a good point that time. Rosalie had never cared for a human before.
It was then that Carlisle decided to interrupt. "Stop both of you," his adopted children looked at him. "Nikita is Rosalie's blood singer."
"Well can't we just move again?" Emmett questioned.
"No Emmett. She's my blood singer and I want to protect her." Rose said feeling her unbeating heart swell at the thought of the copper skinned girl being hers.
"Alice why didn't you tell us?" Edward questioned turning to his smallest sister who sat there smiling then hopped to her feet.
"I had to make sure it happened naturally then I would interfere if necessary." The pixie girl said smiling at everyone.
"What didn't you tell us?" Rose questioned her only sister.
"I've seen it. You and Nikki together." Alice replied then suddenly got a faraway look in her eyes then smiled. "Speaking of, she's on her way here."
"What? Now?" Esme asked surprised.
"Yep, she'll be here in 7 minutes so you better get fixed up Rose." Alice said to her sister with a wink. Rosalie just rolled her eyes while a slight smile on her face. It had only been about an hour since she had last since her.
"Alright let's just act normal- "Emmett snorted at that- "and be nice" Esme said looking pointedly at Emmett.
"3 minutes!" Alice said bouncing on her feet.
"Alice you might want to calm down before you scare her away." Rosalie said rolling her eyes. This was her blood singer after all. She should be the one bouncing on her feet, but Rosalie Hale did not bounce.
"Scatter! We can't act like we know she's coming!" Alice yelled at her family as she grabbed Jasper's hand and dragged him up the stairs as Esme went to the kitchen, Emmett jumped on the couch and flipped on the TV, Carlisle went to his office, Edward went to his room, and Rosalie sat on a chair in the living room.
Sure enough, 3 minutes later, the doorbell rang. Esme walked out of the kitchen and to the door. "Good to see you again."
Footsteps were heard as the person stepped into the house. A delicious scent rushed over Rosalie, of rain, strawberry, and wildness. The urge was strong and as Esme and Nikita came into the room, Rosalie had to stop breathing.
Nikita was standing there, in her house, looking perfect. Her hair was slightly wavy, which looked to be natural, with her bangs brushed over to the left side of her face. There was no make-up on her and she was dressed simple in short black cotton shorts, a yellow tank top, and a black zip up hoodie. Rosalie thought the girl must be cold seeing how it's always cold in this place but the young Quileute didn't show any sign of it if she was.
"Hey Rosalie." Nikita said as she swallowed the nervous lump in her throat. Her starting idea when she left the house was to go to Bella's house, but her mind side-tracked to the Cullens and now here she was. "Long time no see."
Rosalie wasn't sure what to say; she never wanted to be nice to a human before. "No cliff diving today?"
To her surprise, the copper skin girl laughed. "No cliff diving ever again."
Rosalie smiled, satisfied at that answer. "Good, you could've gotten yourself killed."
"Yeah, it was pretty stupid, but you only live once right?"
Rosalie smirked at that. She could hear her siblings laughing quietly wherever they were, listening in to the conversation. "I suppose so."
Before she could stop herself, Nikki blurted out the stupidest thing she could. "Not for you though."
Everyone in the house stopped breathing, making sure they heard the correct meaning in the girl's words. Rosalie was shocked, but knew better than to show it so she just asked a simple question that was expected. "What do you mean?"
Nikki huffed and crossed her arms. "You know what I mean. Vampires."
With that last word, everyone knew started walking to the living room. Questions had to be asked and things had to be explained.
Alice bounced into the room with a full blown smile on her face. "Hi, Nikita."
Nikki looked at the shorter girl and couldn't help but smile back. "Hey, Alice."
"So you know our big secret." Alice said, more of a statement then an actual question. "How did you figure it out?"
Nikki was surprised that they didn't even try to deny it. "Well it's in our tribe's legends and up until now, I never believed in them." she explained.
"Well you realize you can't tell anyone right?" Emmett said narrowing his eyes at her, trying to look intimidating.
Now if it would've been any other person he was trying to intimidate, it would've worked, but it didn't faze her so she lifted her head and glared at him. "Of course I know that. I'm not a complete idiot."
Emmett was surprised that this little human held her own. He actually smirked a little. Nikki didn't know it right then, but she had just earned some respect from the big vampire.
"Is there a certain reason you came here, Nikita?" Carlisle asked wondering why she was here at the moment.
"You can call me Nikki if you want and I was just driving and ended up here." Nikki said honestly.
"Well as long as your here, can I get you anything to eat?" Esme asked, always being motherly.
"No thank you, I was just going to leave actually." Nikki said and started towards the door when a pale hand caught her own russet one, stopping her from leaving.
"Let Esme cook for you. She only gets to cook for Bella whenever she comes over and it won't hurt anything." Rosalie said as her voice got seductive. Truth is she didn't want the other girl to leave and if she had to 'convince' her to stay then she would.
"O-okay." Nikita stuttered out and cursed herself for acting like an idiot.
Rose smiled and gently pulled Nikki to the couch to sit. "Good."
So while Esme was cooking, the questions started. "How much do you know?" "Why didn't you know sooner?" "Do you want to know anything else?" Of course Nikki knew all she had to know so they just sat there and watched TV then Alice brought up having a girls' day out.
"Would you like to come with us Nikki?" the pixie asked, although she wouldn't give the Quileute a choice.
"I'm not sure if my dad would be fond of that idea," Nikita sighed as she leaned against Rosalie's side which caused the older girl to smile. "Even though you have a truce with the tribe right now, they still don't trust you."
"Well just tell him you're staying with Bella then come with us. Bella, of course, will be going too." Alice said coming up with a plan right on the spot and Nikki had to agree.
The food was done so while Nikki ate, Alice asked her questions about how it tasted. Of course, Alice had told her that she didn't remember anything about her human life, so it was a bit hard to describe. Apparently Rosalie saw this and quickly came to her aid.
"Alice leave her alone while she eats. She can't tell you what it taste like because you don't have anything to compare it to." Rosalie said and even though it sounded mean, Alice knew her sister was right so she stopped.
After she was done eating, the Cullens asked if she wanted to watch a movie and, of course, she said yes. They had picked Teen Wolf and Nikki didn't know if they actually liked this movie or was making fun of the wolves of her tribe.
Actually, she didn't really care at that moment. One reason was because Rosalie was sitting to her left on the couch, running a pale hand through ebony hair. Nikki leaned into the touch and relaxed. This moment was just perfect. Rosalie's hand moved to play with russet fingers.
Nikki smirked and interlaced her fingers with the vampire beside her. Rosalie's hand was certainly cold, but also soft. Nikki found herself enjoying it more than she should've but held on.
Rosalie was surprised that this human had the guts to make that move, but Rosalie Hale would not be bested so she carefully moved their entwined hands up to the brunette's thigh. She smirked when she heard the younger girl's breathe hitch.
Nikki wasn't sure what to do at that point. Nothing she could do would beat that or would it? She looked around and saw that all the other vampires had left and it was only her and the blonde beside her.
The Quileute smiled to herself and had to give herself a pep talk for what she was about to do. Gaining the courage to do her task, she took a deep breath.
Rose was just sitting there smirking to herself about how she had won their little game when she felt the girl next to her move. She felt a hand on her thigh as Nikki turned her body, facing Rosalie. Looking straight into golden eyes that were getting darker, the much younger girl leaned towards the surprised vampire. Rosalie could smell the other girl's breathe and it smelled like spearmint. Luckily, Nikki had been chewing gum after she ate. Their faces got closer as Nikki went up on her knees and Rosalie put her left hand on Nikki's waist to keep her from falling. Green eyes melted into gold before fluttering closed. Lips were an inch away from each other…
Nikita slowly opened her eyes to the bright light. She noticed her view was slanted then the smell of vanilla washed over her. "About time you wake up sleeping beauty."
Nikki jerked back to see Rosalie smirking at her. Apparenty she had fallen asleep while Rose played with her hair. "I'm so sorry." Nikki apologized and blushed.
Rosalie shook her head at the brunette and smiled. "Don't be, I enjoyed it."
Nikki just nodded and tried to calm herself down. After a moment of silence she spoke up. "It's late and I should get going before dad has Charlie and the whole police squad looking for me."
Rosalie didn't know what to say so she just nodded and stood up. Nikki followed her to the front door but before they could get outside, Alice had launched herself at Nikki for a hug. "Bye Nikki I hope we see you real soon." she said flashing her white teeth at the taller girl.
"Me too Alice, I had a great time and would love to do it again." Nikki said honestly as the others just smiled at the Quileute. Except Emmett.
"Well Nikita has to go, it's late." Rosalie said and grabbed Nikki's hand gently and pulled her out the door behind her.
When they made it to her car, Rosalie stopped as Nikki leaned against the hood. "You know, you didn't have to walk me to my car and you can call me Nikki."
Rosalie smiled and walked closer to the young girl until her body was pressed against Nikki's, pinning her to the car. The blonde then bent down to Nikita's ear and smirked when she felt her shudder.
"What kind of woman would I be if I didn't walk my guest to her car? Also, I like Nikita better. It really suits you." She whispered letting her breath hit the other girl's skin, before she leaned back and kissed the russet skin girl's cheek, stepping away and winking while walking back to her house.
Nikki stood there for a moment, her mouth slightly opened as she processed what had just occurred. When she realized, she turned to Rosalie's direction, but the blonde was nowhere in sight. Nikki huffed before opening her car door and sliding in the seat and started making her way back to La Push with one thought in mind.
"Stupid, hot, seductive blondes."
She was unaware of the affectionate golden eyes high in the trees, watching her drive away.
