Wow another chapter already?
Yes I am that awesome ;)
Thanks for the reviews and please feel free to give me some ideas thanks!
Nikki pulled up to her house and parked the car. She really didn't want to face her father but didn't think he would be that mad. She figured that she would be in trouble for driving off like that but hopefully not too much. Maybe her father would understand that it was a lot of information to take in and she needed alone time. Even though she didn't spend it alone. Nikki took a deep breath and opened the door. She could hear two male voices inside. talking.
"Looks like Jakes home." she thought and walked into the living room to find her dad and Jake there. As soon as she went into the room, Jacob jumped up and walked towards her.
"Where have you been? We've been-" he stopped and sniffed the air then sniffed closer to her.
"Jake what are you doing?" she questioned and tried to move away but he grabbed her left wrist.
"You smell like those blood suckers. What were you doing with them? They're dangerous Nikki and you need to stay away from them." he said sternly.
"Oh yeah Jake because I'm sure they would have just let me walk out of their house if they were really that dangerous." Nikki said rolling her eyes.
"There monsters Nikki and they could kill you without actually trying." Jacob said tightening his grip on her wrist.
"Jake let go, your hurting me." Nikki said as she tried to pull away but he was stronger than her.
"Jacob let go of your sister." Billy told his son.
"Promise me you won't go around them anymore." Jacob demanded ignoring his father.
"No Jake you can't tell me what to do and I'll see them whenever I feel like!" Nikki yelled at her brother.
"Then I guess you won't be going anywhere alone." he stated.
"Oh yes I will." Nikki said as she brought her right hand back then launched it forward into Jake's right cheek.
A crack was heard by all three inhabitants in the house. The punch didn't hurt Jacob but the shock that his sister just punched him made him let go of Nikki long enough for her to run out of the house and towards the forest. She didn't know how long she ran or where she was going for that matter but she didn't care. Soon she had to stop and catch her breath. It was then she realized three things. It was dark. She was lost, and her right hand really hurt.
"This just improves my day." she muttered to herself as she walked deeper into the trees surrounding her.
The forest was quiet and it unsettled Nikki. She had never been one to be scared of the trees but now that she knew what could possibly roam through the lands, it was unnerving and after a while of walking and getting nowhere, she was frustrated.
"Stupid Jacob, stupid trees, and stupid darkness!" she yelled out while kicking a nearby tree then burying her face in her hands.
"Well well what's this?" a smooth, cold voice said. A voice that chilled Nikki to the core.
Looking up, right in front of her, was a woman that looked about 18. She had long, curly, brilliant orange hair that looked like a fire was framing her face. Her skin was as white as the first winter snow. Her clothes looked tattered, Nikki guessed from being in the woods, but the thing that scared the young Quileute most was her eyes. A dark blood red.
"W-who are you?" Nikki questioned and cursed herself for stuttering.
The woman smirked as she stepped closer to the young girl. She couldn't believe her luck. A girl out this late and far in the forest, and right when she was getting hungry. She looked 16-17, and had long, silky black hair that fell to her waist. Her skin was beautiful, smooth and russet-colored; her eyes were chocolate, set deep above the high of her cheekbones. Altogether, a very gorgeous face.
"I don't think that's very important but you may call me Victoria. What's a pretty girl like you doing all the way out here, and alone to." Victoria said smirking as she closed in on her prey.
Nikki felt uncomfortable and knew this woman must be a vampire. No. A Cold One. This Victoria walked with a feline pace with perfect, lethal steps, a sign of her agility.
She knew she had to be calm. No one was out here to help her so she was on her own. "I just came for a walk." The answer was simple, yet concealing.
"You know, young girls shouldn't go walking in the dark woods alone. Bad things could happen to you." the redhead said as she moved her hand up to touch Nikita's neck. As soon as contact was made, Nikki stepped away quickly.
"Actually I was just heading back so, uh, goodbye." Nikki said and quickly walked away. She turned around to look at the woman, but she was already gone. Nikki breathed out in relief but when she turned around, she was met with those same red eyes that were slowly growing darker.
"No I don't think you are going back. I want to play with you a little. You can try and run though." red eyes said mocking her.
That's exactly what the Quileute did. She turned and ran as fast as her legs would allow her. She knew it was a stupid move and she couldn't hope to outrun this beautiful, yet dangerous, creature but she had to try.
Victoria watched her prey turn and run from her and almost laughed. Surely this girl knew there was no hope for that but if she insisted then let the chase begin. With that thought, Victoria launched herself into the trees, making sure to not to overtake the girl just yet. Playing with her food had always been fun in her mind.
Nikki ran through woods and around the trees. She knew she had to be careful and not to trip. She had seen scary movies before; one wrong tumble and your dead. She could hear the other woman following her, teasing her. The cold laughter was above her, mocking her for running.
Nikki focused in front of her and that's when she saw an obstacle in her path. An huge, old, fallen down tree blocked her way. By the time she tried to climb it, it would be too late. So she tried the only thing she could think of. She tensed her leg muscles and sprung up. Right over the log. Nikita couldn't believe what she had done. That tree was almost as tall as her laying on its side and she jumped over it like it was grass.
"It has to be the adrenaline rushing through me right now. That's the only way."
Nikki though and kept going. She was running out of breath and knew soon she would have to stop.
Victoria had seen the jump and was mildly impressed. "That human jumped over that tree with as much ease as a vampire. No matter, it's time for the kill."
With that thought in mind, she launched herself right towards Nikki. The brunette hit the ground on her stomach then rolled over to see the redhead standing over her, smirking. She crouched down by Nikki and inhaled.
"Well you smell sweet, I hope you taste sweeter." Victoria whispered as she moved Nikki's hair away from her neck and started leaning in, mouth opened and ready to bite and draw out sweet nectar.
A thunderous growl erupted, stopping her from going any further before something barreled the vampire right off the girl below her. Nikita hurried to stand up, only to be met with the sight of two huge wolves. A wolf with dark silver fur was facing Victoria; a massive, crouched shape, ready to spring. Another wolf, much smaller than the silver one was facing her. This one was a smallish grey wolf, deep brown eyes staring straight at her. There was something familiar about those eyes. Something that pulled at her heart and she couldn't help thinking of someone.
"Leah…"
With that one word, the grey wolf looked at her with sadness flickering in it's eyes before turning towards the vampire with a snarl and leapt, but the redhead jumped into the treetops and quickly ran away, knowing she couldn't take on two wolves.
With one last growl, the silver wolf turned it's dark, almost black, eyes towards her. She couldn't help but feel safe in the company of the two beautiful creatures.
"Um thanks guys. I probably would be dead if you two hadn't shown up." Nikita said smiling at them.
It seemed like the silver one smirked at her before running behind some trees. Nikki heard some rustling, then footsteps as a man in just shorts came into view.
"Paul! Oh my God I didn't know that was you!" Nikki yelled as she ran to him and threw her arms around his neck.
"Hey trouble-maker what are you doing all the way out here?" Paul asked smirking down at the shorter girl as she crossed her arms.
"Me and Jacob had a fight, I punched him in the face, then I ran and here I am so would you please take me home." the younger girl begged the muscular boy.
"Yeah, yeah, sure." he said then, before Nikki could say anything, swept the girl up in his arms.
"Paul! Put me down, I can walk!" the younger Quileute protested and the boy just shook his head and started walking.
"This is faster. Come on Leah, lets get back to Sam's." he called back to the grey she wolf who had just been standing there. She rolled her eyes before trotting after the pair.
They were silent the whole way back but then they came to a cabin on the edge of the forest.
"This is Sam and his fiancée's house. This is where the pack mostly hangs out." Paul explained to her and Leah lightly growled behind them before she disappeared around the back to change.
Walking in to the house, Nikki was met with the sight of Jacob, Jared, Seth, and Embry. "Hey guys."
They all looked towards the door and broke into smiles. "Nik!" "Nikki!" "Nikita!" "Hey there gorgeous!"
When Jacob saw Nikki he immediately rushed up to her. "Nikki I'm so sorry. I was being a jerk and didn't have any right telling you that stuff. How's your hand by the way?"
Nikki looked at her brother and smiled. "Its okay, I overreacted to I guess. Apology accepted and my hand actually feels fine." she said flexing her right hand and Jake looked confused then she looked at Paul. "You can put me down now."
Paul's face turned red for a minute then he set Nikki down. All the boys immediately hollered for her to sit in the living room with them.
"Well Nikki I guess since you know everything now, welcome to our big Wolf Family." Seth said smiling.
"Aw thanks guys. At least I finally know something now." she said as he nodded.
"So Nikki, Jake tells us you were hanging out with those leeches." Jared said once she sat down on the couch with him and Embry.
"It was a once and I wanted to thank Rosalie for saving me from drowning." Nikita said rolling her eyes.
"Yeah cliff diving isn't so much fun when your human." Embry said smiling at her. He had always been her closest guy friend.
"Tell me about it." Nikki said laughing as Leah walked into the house.
"Seems like Nikki just attracts all the leeches around here." Leah said crossing her arms.
Nikki smiled at her best friend and got up and ran to her. "Lee-Lee I've missed you!" she yelled and threw her arms around the taller girl, much to Leah's surprise.
Leah didn't know what to think of the younger girl hugging her. She didn't think Nikki would want anything to do with her once she knew Leah had become a giant wolf. So she just awkwardly patted the other girl on the back.
"So everyone's in the pack?" Nikki asked letting go of Leah.
"Everyone except Quil but he's just a late bloomer." Jacob said.
"I feel so left out." Nikki said pouting as the guys laughed.
"Don't, it's not that great." Leah said glaring at the guys.
"Leah's just mad because we can hear her thoughts." Jared explained.
"You can hear each others thoughts? Wow." Nikki said amazed.
"When we're wolves we have telepathy with each other." Embry explained further.
"Well this just keeps getting weirder." Nikki muttered and all the guys laughed.
"Hey hey what's all the noise?" asked a woman coming into the living room. Nikki had to stop herself from gasping out loud. The right side of her face was scarred from hairline to chin by three red lines, bright in color though they were fully healed. One line pulled down the corner of her dark, almond-shaped right eye, another twisted the right side of her mouth making it disoriented. Even with the red scars this woman was still beautiful. She had exotic good looks, glossy black hair and copper skin.
"Sorry Jake's sister is the one causing all the trouble." Paul said pointing at Nikki.
"I am not! Your such a liar Paul." Nikki said crossing her arms and pouting.
The woman laughed and walked over to Nikki. "Hi I'm Emily Young, Sam's fiancée, caretaker of the pack, and Wolf Girl." the woman, Emily, said and hugged Nikki.
"Well I'm Nikita Black, twin of Jacob, trouble-maker, non-wolf girl." Nikki said smiling at the motherly aura around Emily.
"Oh yeah I've heard about you. Hanging out with vampires, punching werewolves, running away." Emily said laughing at the look on the younger girl's face.
"Great Jake, yeah, let's tell everyone." Nikki said glaring at her brother who held up his hands in surrender.
"Well just make yourself at home like everyone else." Emily said before walking back into, what Nikki could guess, the kitchen.
"I like her. She's nice." Nikki said nodding as the guys laughed and about that time, Sam walked through the door.
"Better watch out Sam, Nikki's got a thing for Emily." Paul said smirking.
"I do not! I just said she was nice." Nikki defended and Sam smirked.
"I don't blame you, she's amazing." Sam said before lightly punching Paul in the shoulder for Nikki then walking into the kitchen.
"So this is what you all do when your not big furry wolves?" Nikki asked and they all nodded.
"Emily cooks us food so we just come and pig out." Jake said.
"Well that's cool." Nikki said before yawning.
"I think it's past someone's bedtime." Embry teased.
"Yeah Jacob gets pretty cranky when his beauty sleep is cut short." Nikki said smirking as they guys laughed.
"Ha-ha very funny Nikki. Come on and I'll take you home." Jacob said as he walked outside.
"Bye guys, see you later. Oh and thanks Leah and Paul for saving me." Nikki said hugging Leah again and pecking her on the cheek.
"Hey don't I get a hug and kiss?" Paul asked.
"Sure just ask Jared." Nikki said and smirked when both boys made gagging sounds and she walked out of the house.
Jake carried her the whole way home since neither one of them had their car with them. When they got to their house, Jake set her down on the porch. "You sure your hands okay?" he asked.
"Yeah Jake it's fine. I could punch you again if you want to see for yourself." Nikki said smiling cheekily at him and he rolled his eyes and grabbed both of her cheeks.
"Aw my little sister thinks she's so cute." Jake said in a baby voice as Nikki struggled to get away.
"Jacob let go!" she whined and he finally let go but then pulled her into a bear hug.
"I really am sorry." he said quietly and she rested her chin on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his huge shoulders.
"I know Jake. It's okay but you have to trust me okay?" Nikki asked as he set her down and nodded.
"Well I got to get back to Sam's so I'll see you later." Jake said and started running to the trees.
Nikki just smiled at her brother, glad they had made things better before walking inside. No lights were on so she knew her father was asleep which was fine by her so she just went to her room. Changing into a tank top and cotton shorts, Nikki crawled into her warm bed and sighed happily.
Right before she felt into the realm of dreams, she heard a wolf howling. Followed by another and another. Soon the nighttime was consumed in wolfsong. As they faded out, Nikita had one thought in mind.
"Goodnight my Wolf Family..."
So how was it guys? I know Rosalie wasn't in this chapter but I have to include the pack right?
I'm just surprised with myself for getting another chapter out so soon but I do it for my readers.
Hope you liked it and thanks to everyone who reviews :).
