.:The Twilight Saga - Written In The Stars:.
Hello again my fellow Fanfictioners, here's another chapter, it took a little longer than expected, as I have a slight problem when writing from Non OC's POV's. But it's all good now, so here's another chapter awaiting to be read by you.
I hope you enjoy this chapter, as like I said I had a problem writing certain bits of the Non OC's POV, so please let me know what you think. I have also put a bit more info of the character heritage in the chapter. And the references I've made in this chapter are real, as I used Alex Meraz's Nationality for it, so as far as I know I got everything right, so please go easy on me.
I'd also like to thank brankel1 for their comments, it seem your my number 1# fan of this story, so well do you ... I'd also like to thank those of you who favoured or story alerted this story, again it does mean a lot to me, so thank you.
As always I do not only The Twilight Saga, or the character within that world (BUT I REALLY, REALLY WISH I DID), all rights reserved to Stephenie Meyer, so please do not sue me.
.:Chapter Six – Aura's POV:.
I smile as I taken in the inside of the house, after managing to get hold of the local estate agents, they had sent some one down. A man in his late 30's had arrived, dressed very down to earth and looking very welcoming, instead of a suit and looking very stiff.
"So, I've had a look through the papers your father signed, it turns out he actually bought the patch of land. So the house is still in his name, but seen as he's now deceased it does go to the next of kin, which would be you" the mane, Mr. Ellsworth.
I turn to face him as I asks "So this house is mine now?".
"Yes, you will have to come down to the office and sign some papers to make it official, but yes, this house is yours" he tells me with a toothy smile.
"Well, can we go do it now?" I ask as I walk towards him.
"Are you sure about this Aura?" Marcus asks from where he lent against a kitchen counter.
"Yes, we deserve this. You, and Lily, and Luka, you all deserve the chance to be like every body else. This is my way of say thank you, for all that you've done" I tell him.
"Ok, but were not getting ride of the motor-home" he tells me as he walks towards me and pulls me into a hug.
"Hell no, that hunk of metal is part of this family. I made motor-home honey and jam in that thing" I tell him with a laugh.
Marcus laughs as we pull back from the hug, he then place a brotherly kiss to my forehead. I smile in response, and then turn to Mr. Ellsworth.
"So, shall we go get these papers signed, and get everything all official" I say as I walk towards him.
Ellsworth smiles as he says "Yes, I will of course need to to bring some form of id, a passport or birth certificate".
"Right, well let me go get that and I'll meet you down at your office" I tell him.
He nods as he pulls out a pen and a piece of paper, and quickly writes something down, he then hands the paper to me. I look down at it, and find he's written out the address for me so I can find his office.
I nod in thanks as turn and collect the motor-home keys off of Marcus. "Why don't you guys start getting thins sorted, and when I get back I'll take Lily with me to get some food in".
Marcus nods as he says "Ok boss".
I lightly swat his arm with a laugh, and then follow Ellsworth out. I then begin my walk up to the motor-home as Ellsworth gets in his truck and drives off. I laugh to him as he drives past, and then make my way up the gravel pathway.
I take a deep breath as walk down the road, the sea was just off to the side of me, cliffs over looking the water. They were tall and sharp, but looked beautiful from a distance. I couldn't help but feel in complete awe at all the rare beauty that was around here. I was happy for Luka, god knows he really did deserve to find his 'Dragostea din Stele' as my Nanna would have said. I smile at the thought of my Nanna, she had been a wise lady, someone I could talk about anything.
Nanna had always been proud of her heritage, not only had she been a council elder but she was the pack's historian, whenever we wanted to know something about our families past, we asked her. We were very proud people, never ashamed of what we were, not matter how much it hurt us. A sudden beeping noise comes from behind me causing me to jump and forget my train of thoughts. I turn round to find a rusted dark blue Ford pick up, in the drivers seat was Sam, sat beside him was the other guy that had been at Emily's house, I hadn't caught his name. Sam pulls up beside me, as the guy beside him rolls the window down.
"Hay, Sam isn't it? What's up?" I ask kindly as I shove my hand into my hoodie and walk towards the passenger door.
"Yeah, that's my name. It's Aura right?" he says with a small smile.
I nod in response to his question. "We were just heading into town, when I saw you walking, thought maybe there was something wrong".
I smile slightly at his concern, but at the same time I'm slightly taken back by it. "No, no, nothings wrong. Just taking a steady walk into town, plus you know, I got get used to these roads sooner of later right".
Sam sits a little straight at this as he asks "So your really moving in?".
"Yeap, that's why I'm heading into town, to sign the papers and make it all official. Then the house will be in my name, the others are actually getting us set up now" I say as I run my fingers through my hair.
I shift on my feet as I talk with him. My eye sight staying firmly on him as I tried my best to ignore the burning stare I was getting from the passenger of the car. Sam's eyes shift to his friend slightly, almost like he can sense my unease.
"Oh, this is Paul by the way" he says as he motions to the guy.
I nod in response at this but still refuse to look at him. "I should get going. Those papers can't sign themselves" I tell him with a small laugh.
"Why don't you hop in, I'll give you lift" Sam says just as I turn to walk away.
I turn back to face him as I say "Its ok, I like walking. Plus, I don't wanna keep you guys from your own plans".
"Nonsense, I'd be happy to help you out. And you might get lost" he replies, a slightly frustrated look about his face.
"Thank you Sam, it means a lot that your been so kind, but I'm a fată mare, and I can take care of myself" I tell him, a smile in place.
I stiffen a yelp when the heavens suddenly open up and down pour of rain erupts onto me. "Now I defiantly insist!" Sam tells me.
I nod in surrender at this, after all I couldn't let him know I was ok with been in the rain, seen as it had no real affect on me. I didn't want them thinking I was a freak after just meeting them, knowing my luck they'd have tried to get me locked up for something like that.
I nod in thanks as the door swings open, and I climb into the pick up and quickly roll the windows up. Sam then starts the engine back up and pulls out onto the road. I keep my eye locked on the road, all the while not trying to shift in obvious uncomfortableness.
"So, where are you guys from?" Sam asks after a couple of minutes.
I smile at this, after all he was doing me a favour he didn't have to do by giving me a lift into town, and now he was trying to defuses the tension that was in the air as all three of us sat starring at the road.
"We're from California, but we've been nomadic for the last five years" I tell him.
"Any reason impractical?" Sam asks, a seriously curious look on his face.
I run a hand through my hair at this, a sudden bout of nervousness coming over me. "Yeah, but I don't really like to talk about it. It's still a pretty rawr subject matter, as well as very emotional".
There's another round of silence at this, and I notice the eye contact between Sam and Paul. I shift slightly towards the door, trying to make a decent amount of room just in case I suddenly needed to make a jump for it.
"Sorry" Sam says after a few moments. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, I was just trying to find out more about you. Seen as were gonna be neighbours".
"It's ok, I mean its not like you were supposed to know or anything" I reply softly, all the while playing with my sleeve ends. "What is it you want to know?".
Sam smiles at this, a small one, but still a smile none the less. His friend on the other hand remains still, a frustrated look on his face as he stares out of the window, his large arms crossed over his equally large chest.
"Well, what about your heritage? Anything interesting in you family history?" he asks, his eyes on the road but every so often he sneaked a look my way.
"Nothing special, I mean unless you call having Romanian blood special, then no not really. I mean myself and the others are proud of it, but its not something that other people find that interesting" I answer, a small smile pulling at my lips.
"Was that the language you spoke in back there?" he asks.
"Yeah, we all speak it. Its a family tradition to learn it from a young age" I tell him. "Ohh, myself and Luka have grandparents of Native American descent".
A smile pulls bright of Sam's face, even Paul gives a very tiny smile. "Do tell?".
I look on in shock when I hear Paul speak for the first time, he had a slightly deep voice, not a deep as Sam's, and there was a slight cocky ring in it as he spoke.
"Well I don't know much, I know they were from the Purepecha Nation, and that their indigenous people centred in the northwestern region of the Mexican state Michoacán" I tell the as I try my best to remember what I did know without looking like an idiot.
"What are you grandparents like?" Sam asks.
"We never got to meet them. There was a boating accident a few years before we were born. Left my Nanna wheelchair bound, my Mom got a pretty nasty scare down her face, Marcus' dad went deaf in one ear, Lily's Mom was in a coma for weeks. Luka's dad nearly lost his whole hand" I answer, my voice lowering slightly.
The silence returns after I speak. "I guess that's why we never learnt anything about our Native heritage. It some how felt wrong to learn about it when they weren't there to teach us. I know its stupid, and I'm not proud of myself for not learning about that side of my family, but I guess it was also because it broke my Nanna's heart to speak about such things, and I couldn't bare to see her in pain".
Sam nods in response, seeming to get what I was on about. But Paul seemed disgusted at what I'd said, almost like I was speaking in a poisonousness language to him.
"I'm sorry if I offend you!" I snap harshly at the ignorant man, who even now refused to look directly at me.
Paul grits his teeth at this, his fists clenching as he says "Well sorry if I think its wrong to be ignorant of your heritage! To just throw it to the side like its nothing!".
"You have no right to say that to me! You know nothing about me, or of who I am!" I growl at him, the inner animal getting the best of me. "And I didn't just throw it to the side, I may not know all of my Grandfathers family history, but I know enough to be proud of who I am, and what I have in me, and I like to think that's all he'd ask of me!".
"Paul, calm down, your getting angry for no reason!" Sam yells at the younger man, authority ringing in his voice. "I'm sorry about this Aura, Paul has no right to judge you".
"Your right Sam, he doesn't! But if you would please pull over, I'd like to get out of this silly băieţel presence before I do something I'll regret!" I tell him, trying my best to keep my anger down.
"You don't have to get out!" he says, but pulls over none the less.
I shake my head as I open the door and jump out into the still pouring rain, I then turn back to face the two as I say "No, I'm sorry, you've been really nice Sam, but I can't be around such an ignorant puţin de porc!".
Paul snaps his eyes right towards me at that, his anger burning in his brown eyes as he glares at me. I stumble slightly as I finally lock my eyes with his, all my anger drains from me as I look straight at him, seeing nothing but beauty. The anger leaves his eyes, turning them much softer as he stares at me, causing them the shine brighter, but just as he goes to open his mouth to speak I quickly shut the door and walk off.
The rain was already soaking through my hoodie as I pull the hood up and then shove my hands deep into my pockets as I stare at the ground. I was so not going to except that I'd seen what I had in his eyes, and I was definitely not gonna go crawling back to him, and apologise for something I didn't start. After all, he was the one who'd been a complete tâmpit.
I don't care what pain I would go through, I was definitely not going to admit that I had just boned with him to the others, or to myself. The only thing I was gonna do was deny the bonding altogether. He didn't deserve me, I mean I didn't think was all that good looking, or that he was beneath me, if anything he was sexiest fucking thing I'd ever seen.
I growl at myself for think that, and proceed to kick the road as I walk. I can't believe I I just bonded, I didn't even know I could rebound, and I especially didn't want to after what happened with the last guy. I force those thoughts to the back of my head, I didn't need to be thinking about stuff like that, after all that's what started me in a down ward spiral, and I knew the guys would hate seeing me like that. I kick the dirt at my feet again as I try not to think about Paul.
.:Paul Lahote's POV:.
It seemed hard to believe that just this morning I had been in a good mood, but then they came along; those stupid tourists. But after Leah went and Imprinted on the darker skinned male, we were forbidden to say anything bad about him, and his friends. So for the sake of keeping an argument from staring I'd forced my mouth shut, and kept what I wanted to say inside my head, it seems I do that a lot lately, even if I am the Beta, it still didn't seem to matter.
Leah had even said I was acting jealous of everyone else, what with most of the others already having found their imprints. But I wasn't jealous, more like very, pissed off. If you'd have asked me four years ago about finding my Imprint, I'd have said I'd already had them, but it turns out it was too good to be true.
Jacob had taken to been more nicer to me after finding out his sister had basically used me to find out what her brother and father were keeping a secret, then after finding out she broke it off, saying she'd only played along with the idea of been my Imprint, and then left La Push and gone back to college. I should have known really, I mean as much as the relationship had been great, and she'd helped me calm down slightly, there was no really connection between us, only attraction, I guess that gets mistaken for true love most of the time.
Emily and Sam had decided to through a bonfire, and invite their new neighbours, which was obvious code word for 'Getting Leah and her Imprint together'. It was weird suddenly seeing Leah have a brighter smile, after all she hadn't really done much of that after the whole thing with her, and Sam.
I mean I was happy for her, of course I was, she was my pack mate, my sister, but it was just weird seeing her suddenly go for hotheaded to falling in love. But it seemed a nice look on her, I just didn't want her waving such emotions round my personal bubble, I had enough of that going on with the others. So here I was, going into town with Sam to pick up more food for the bonfire. More importantly here I was squished between the mountain of heat that was Sam, and the fragile looking girl that was Sam's new neighbour.
It wasn't the fact that I was sat next to the girl, Aura, it was more the fact I was been squished up against Sam. I mean I wasn't one to complain when I had a cute girl next to me, but then again she did give off a weird vibe, Sam had even said he'd felt it, but neither of us could figure it out, and there was no use asking Leah, not when she had her head in the clouds.
Aura was just a few inches shorter than myself, stopping at around the height of my shoulder, and her midnight black hair blended well with her choose colour of streaks, but I hadn't managed to get a closer look at her face. I'd made a habit of avoiding eye contact with people I didn't know, after all I didn't want to have a repeat of what happened last time, that was the last thing I needed. So here I sat, listening to Sam and Aura as they spoke.
I had to admit I wasn't expecting her to tell us anything just like that, but I was kinda glad she had, because I had been doing me head in wondering if her tan was real or not. But after hearing she was born in California that made me think it was real, but I was still half and half about it. I didn't really no why it bothered me so much, I guess if I thought about it, it was probably because the other two with them weren't as tanned as Aura, and Leah Imprint, Luka. But other wise I didn't really know why.
But my questions were answered when she spoke of the Native blood in her, and Luka.
"Do tell?" I ask her, the curiosity getting the best of me.
"Well I don't know much, I know they were from the Purepecha Nation, and that their indigenous people centred in the northwestern region of the Mexican state Michoacán" she tells us, her voice wavering slightly, almost like she was trying to remember.
I had heard of them, but never met anyone from that region, we made a habit of not leaving La Push, after all this was were we where meant to be, so we could protect our people. But now I was wondering why it seemed like she had to remember her own heritage.
"What are you grandparents like?" Sam asks.
"We never got to meet them. There was a boating accident a few years before we were born. Left my Nanna wheelchair bound, my Mom got a pretty nasty scare down her face, Marcus' dad went deaf in one ear, Lily's Mom was in a coma for weeks. Luka's dad nearly lost his whole hand" she responds, her voice lowering as she spoke.
Silence followed after this, and I knew that Sam was regretting asking such question of the poor girl.
"I guess that's why we never learnt anything about our Native heritage. It some how felt wrong to learn about it when they weren't there to teach us. I know its stupid, and I'm not proud of myself for not learning about that side of my family, but I guess it was also because it broke my Nanna's heart to speak about such things, and I couldn't bare to see her in pain" she tells us after a few moments.
Anger welled up inside of me, this girl had the cheek to talk about how proud she was of her heritage, and yet she didn't even know half of it, and all because her Grandfather wasn't there to teach her about her family. And not only that but her friend had done the same thing as well.
Proud my arse, neither of them knew the meaning of the word. "I'm sorry if I offend you!" she snaps harshly.
I grit my teeth and clench my fists, as I do my best to stop the on coming tremors. First she has the nerve to say what she had, and now she had the cheek to speak to me like I was nothing at all. Who the fuck did she think she was?
"Well sorry if I think its wrong to be ignorant of your heritage! To just throw it to the side like its nothing!" I yell at her.
"You have no right to say that to me! You know nothing about me, or of who I am!" she growls back, and for a moment she actually sounded like an animal. "And I didn't just throw it to the side, I may not know all of my Grandfathers family history, but I know enough to be proud of who I am, and what I have in me, and I like to think that's all he'd ask of me!".
"Paul, calm down, your getting angry for no reason!" Sam yells at me, the authority ringing in his voice.
I knew instantly he'd used his Alpha voice, obviously not want something bad to happen, to any of the people in the pick up, but I still tried to fight it.
"I'm sorry about this Aura, Paul has no right to judge you!".
I grit my teeth harder at this, I knew Sam was just trying to do what was best, and I knew deep down I had overreacted way more than I had the right to, but I just couldn't stand the thought of someone throwing their heritage away like that. It really pissed me off.
"Your right Sam, he doesn't! But if you would please pull over, I'd like to get out of this silly băieţel presence before I do something I'll regret!" she tells him, and I could see the tell tail signs of anger on her face.
"You don't have to get out!" he tells her, but pulls over none the less.
I could tell he wasn't happy, and that I would be getting lectured about this later, if not as soon as she was out of sight. And I had to admit, as angry as I was, I actually didn't want the girl walking into town in the pouring rain, but my pride would never allow me to say anything along the lines of sorry. Aura shakes her head as she climbs out of the pick up, only to turn back to Sam and say "No, I'm sorry, you've been really nice Sam, but I can't be around such an ignorant puţin de porc!".
I had no idea what she'd said, but I could tell by the tone it wasn't something nice. Within a second flat I'm looking at her, my eyes locking on with hers, and just a for a fraction of a second I'm regretting it, but then I'm drowning in her ever beautiful pools of soft hazel. I could feel the anger leaving my face as I stared at her, my heart was racing, and I knew instantly that this time it was for real, this time she was actually the one; my best friend, my mate, my Imprint. And as nice looking as she had been only moments before, she was suddenly the most exquisite thing I'd ever had the fortune of laying my eyes on.
And I'd upset her, and I'd made her angry. And she was walking away from me! I couldn't let that happen, not again, not after everything I'd gone through last time. I knew this time it had to work, it just had to. But luck, it seemed, wasn't on my side, because she was shutting the door and walking off down the road, in the pouring down of rain.
I sat back stumped at everything that had just happened, but all I could think about was her, and about how I was such an idiot for overreacting the way I did. She was never going to forgive me, I'd be lucky if she suddenly decided not to move in next door to Sam and Emily.
"What the hell were you think Paul?". I snap out of my daze at the sound of Sam yelling at me.
"Am I an idiot for letting her get away? What kind of question is that? Of course I'm an idiot! I just let everything walking away, and she'll never speak to me again" I say, all the while keeping my eyes looked on the now distant back of Aura.
"Paul this Is serious! Now is not the time to be fucking about!" he yells, his eyes locked on me.
"I know how serious this is Sam! I mean I not only yelled at her, but I made her walk away from me" I snap back at him. "What should I do? Should I go after her? Or maybe I can talk to her later at the bonfire, you know after she's had time to cool down. I could bring her some flowers, or something".
I shove Sam's hand away as he grips hold of my chin and forces me to look round at him. Sam's eyes widen in surprise when he fully looks at me, but after a few moments it turns too understanding.
"You just Imprinted on her". It wasn't a question, no not at all, it was a statement.
"Well no duh" I snap at him, only to wince slightly at the slap I get around the back of my head for been cheeky to my Alpha.
"Are you finished been a dick?" he asks me.
I nod in response as rub the back of my head. Sam was the only one I was in any way scared of, after all he was my Alpha, and my big brother. And he had one hell of swing on him. Sam nods back and then pulls the pick up back out onto the road.
"Don't worry Paul, everything will work out, it always does" Sam tells me as we continue into town.
I could only keep my fingers crossed, and hope he was right about that.
A/N - Here are the translations for the Romanian language I used in this chapter;
Love in the Stars - Dragostea din Stele.
Big girl - Fată mare.
Silly boy - Silly băieţel.
Ignorant little pig - Ignorant puţin de porc.
Stupid - Tâmpit.
So there you go, another chapter done and gone, I will try and get another chapter up within the next week, so fingers crossed nothing gets in the way of that.
And as always that you for reading, and i would like to ask that you go review this story, cos it would mean a lot to me, and it actually helps me write a bit faster.
So thank you again, and review, review, review... Until next time, MarsPlanetsGirl aka Emma. xx
