Twilight-moon09: Okay, so everybody clear on that?
Jacob: Yep!
Seth: Of course!
Jared: We get it! So you do not own Twilight…
Sam: Or any of it's characters…
Embry: Or it's locations or themes…
Quil: Or plot points…
Paul: Because they all belong to some Mormom Mom lady…
Claire: Named Stephenie May or something…
Leah: That believes that bloodsuckers sparkle in the sun?
Twilight-moon09: Right!!
Sam: BUUUTTTTT, you own all of us, right?!?!?
Twilight-moon09: NO! DAMN IT!! Ugh, let me explain it again….
Chapter Seven: Operation 'Take-down-guards-to-save-the-damsel-in-distress-to-take-her-to-the-bonfire-tonight-to-finally-meet-the-entire-wolf—' you know, why do we even let Embry name things????
"Okay, so is everyone clear on the plan?" I asked for the millionth time, and everyone gave me a tired nod. They were irritated by my nervousness, but I had every right to be. Everything had to go according to plan today, or else everything would fall apart. We had no room for error. No margin for mistake. If we failed, I may never get to see Chelsea again.
"Dude, stop worrying. We're going to get her out fine. They won't even know what hit 'em!" Seth said, excitedly. It was obvious he felt like he was in some sort of Bond movie, or that we were secret spies breaking into some organization. Leave it to Seth to make a rescue mission a real life Mission: Impossible movie.
"Time to commence Operation 'Take-down-guards-to-save-the-damsel-in-distress-to-take-her-to-the-bonfire-tonight-to-finally-meet-the-entire-wolf-pack-and-learn-about-the-legends-so-everything-will-be-out-in-the-open!'"
And we all set out to First Beach. We being Embry, Quil, Claire, myself, Seth, Jared and Sam. I patted my phone one more time in my pocket, to make sure I had it in case something went wrong. Also, for when the plan went into Phase Two.
We arrived, and just like expected, we were stopped at the entrance to the filming location by security. Seth stepped in front of our group to talk to the guard, who looked like Mr. T, the Hulk, and Hulk Hogan all rolled into one. Not that we were intimidated.
"Hi. We're from La Push High School and we're doing a project on the movie you guys are filming here. We all have all access passes, sir." All at once, everyone pulled their passes from under their shirts.
Yes, we were all wearing shirts today.
The guard looked over all of us, stopping for a small glance at each of our faces. "High school? Really? You expect me to believe that?" He said in a skeptical tone. We sure didn't look like we were in high school. He glanced at my back, looking suspiciously at my backpack.
"I'm going to have to check your bag…" I handed it over and my hands were shaking slightly, and I wasn't breathing. Immediately my heart started racing with panic, I knew this would never work. I would have to thank Emily for getting us these forged passes, who knows how she knew a person that could do this, but it didn't work. He unzipped it and looked over the contents. All that was there was a hoodie, a pair of Seth's jeans, and my old Algebra book. He sniffed arrogantly, and handed me back my bag.
"We're all seniors…" Seth said in an insulted tone. The guard looked even more skeptical with a quick look up at Sam's face, then a glance down at little Claire. Sam rolled his eyes and Quil got defensive, but Sam nudged him with his elbow. "She's my little sister, I couldn't get out of babysitting." Quil said in a low tone. He looked back down at Claire, and she gave him the same beautiful toothless smile that she always gave us when she wanted something. Although she was eight years old, Claire was very petite and she looked like a 6 year old, still giving her the "cute" factor. Making her, in this situation, a very deadly force. So, needless to say, the guard was putty in her tiny little hands. The guard sighed, and let us through. "Alright, but no funny business. And keep an eye on her." We walked pass, and all sighed with relief. Thank you, Claire. I would have to remember to buy her a pony or something one day…not that she needed one…she could just ride Quil.
"Okay, we're in, time for Phase Two." Jared announced and I nodded, taking out my cell phone. I dialed the number I knew by heart and my heart skipped a bit when I heard my angel on the other end of the phone. "Jake? Is that you?" She asked, sounding as if she were out of breath. I smiled. "Yeah, it's me. Are you ready?" She snorted. "I was ready this morning when I woke up." I smiled again. I couldn't help how much I was smiling nowadays. "Okay, I'll see you in a few. Act normal. And be ready." I snapped the phone shut, and we proceeded.
"Okay, you guys need to be quick. We don't need any problems." Sam said seriously, he and Jared were only here as back-up in case something went wrong. We all nodded, and walked ahead. We finally reached the actors' trailers, and I knew which one was hers. I remember the two guards that were always with her, and the lady with the cell phone practically glued to her ear. She was standing outside the door with them talking on it, loudly, and her voice was really annoying. Quil stooped down, and got eye level with Claire.
"Alright Claire, this is it. Your big break! Do it just like we practiced, okay?" Claire nodded happily, and walked over towards the guards. She took a deep breath, and slowly her face contorted into a sad expression. Her cheeks flushed, and she grimaced with her eyes watering. Seconds later, she started wailing and whining endlessly for her mom, letting out deafening and ear-piercing screams. Everyone in the area cringed at the decibels her shrieks were hitting. Quil ran over and kneeled before her, playing along, asking her what was wrong and begging her to calm down. And offering her countless things to make it better. The woman looked intensely annoyed, and walked off to finish her very important business conversation with Claire following hot on her heels and Quil on her tail. It worked perfectly.
Time for Phase Three. We all turned to him, and Embry popped his collar with a smug smirk on his face. "My time to shine." He said coolly. We all rolled our eyes as he walked toward the guards, and began to distract them.
"Oh, here's the men's room!" He tried to walk between them up the stairs to the door, but they pulled him back roughly. "You can't go in there!" One of them yelled. He just chuckled. "My bad, I was just looking for the bathroom. I really have to let the wolf howl. Hey, did you guys know that the Quileute are descendants from wolves?" He got to talking, and once you got Embry talking, he doesn't shut up. That was our cue, and Seth and I ran to execute the next part of the plan.
We ran at superhuman speed to the back of the trailer, and I climbed up and hung in a very inhumanly way to knocked furiously on the window. As soon as I heard someone coming, I jumped down. A few seconds later, she slid it opened, looking entirely shocked. "Jacob! H-how did you—" "No time." I cut her off. I unzipped the backpack and tossed the clothes at her. "Put these on. Hurry." She did as she was told, and then looked down at me confused. "Okay, jump." She just blinked, staring at me blankly. It was a far jump, I didn't deny her that, but we really didn't have time for this.
"Jake um…that's a pretty far jump, and you see…I'm not that light." I just rolled my eyes, and reminded myself to talk to her about that later. She really needed to stop thinking she was fat…she was beautiful. But, I was prepared for this. "Okay fine, come on Seth." Seth stepped forward and locked his arms with mine, making a basket. This was completely unnecessary, because I could have easily caught her with my own strength, but she didn't need to know how strong I really was. Not just yet.
"Come on Chelsea, jump." She bit her bottom lip, she was scared. "Do you trust me?" I asked her seriously, and she looked down in my eyes. The gaze was so intense, and I made all of her fears melt away. She took a deep breath, and climbed up, then jumped down into our arms. She almost screamed, but there wasn't nearly enough time in the jump. We put her down, and her heart was racing. I could hear it. I smiled. I gave her a quick hug, and smelled her hair. I was in heaven, I was lost, I had no idea where I was. Till Seth tapped me, and I snapped out of it. "Come on Jake, we gotta go. Who knows how Embry is doing." I nodded.
"Put your hood up and look down, try to stay quiet okay Chels?" She nodded, and she blushed a little. I wondered why for a second, and realized I called her the nickname I had been using in my head. I hoped that meant she liked it. I took her head in mine, and lead her around back to the rest of the pack. As we got closer, we heard Embry's voice and what sounded like crumbling paper.
"Hold on Black, not that flap, the other one. Good job Brown, you're doing great. Now, holding your model at the back, open up the three point/flaps and take the center flap and pull down to form the head. The other two flaps remain as the pointy ears. Once you've completed the first one, you can make more using origami paper of differing sizes and colors until you have your very own wolf pack. And that, gentleman, is how you make. A PAPER. WOLF." Embry held up his Origami wolf proudly, and Black and Brown nodded at each other smiling, proud of their handiwork.
Sam spotted us and sighed in relief, probably bored of hearing Embry give Origami lessons. He yipped and Embry knew that was his signal to wrap things up. "Ah, well guys, it's time for me to go…make sure you e-mail!" He waved as he walked away. Claire and Quil came back hearing the yipping signal, and we were ready to go. Grouping together with Chelsea at the very center next to Sam with her hood up and head down, we left the Beach.
Once we reached the van parked all the way up the road, we all cheered in accomplishment. "Oh my god! I can't believe you did it! You actually did it! I'm actually out!" Chelsea gave me a big hug and I sighed, dreamily in love, earning teasing faces and taunts from Embry, Quil, and Seth while her back was turned. I rolled my eyes and ignored it, not letting them disrupt this little slice of heaven. Sam started the car and we were off, everyone buzzing with excitement.
"Chelsea, these are my friends, well more like my brothers…that's Embry, Seth, Quil, Jared, Sam, and that's little Claire." Claire pouted. "Hey, I'm not little! I'll be nine in 2 months." We all laughed. "Oh I'm sorry Claire-bear, you're not little. I promise." I gave her a little hug and she smiled. Chelsea smiled at us.
"Thank you all for getting me out of there…you have no idea what it's like everyday." She was bombarded with a chorused "No problem, we'd do it anytime" and she blushed. She leaned over to Claire.
"And I'd like to thank you especially, Claire. I watched from the window at what you did to get rid of Sylvia. That takes true skill. You have the true makings of an actress." She smiled widely.
"Piece of cake!" Claire said excitedly, and everybody laughed. Then she threw her arms around Chelsea's neck, catching her by surprise. She smiled and hugged her back, and Quil smirked contently.
Well, at least Quil was on her side. Now that leaves only six werewolves and three imprints to go. This was turning out to be an interesting day.
