Chapter 3
The Bonfire

I fixed my black and grey dress up, zipped my black fur hoodie up and pulled my slipping tights back up. I smiled widely as I jumped in to the front seat of Billy's car and Jacob returning the same kind of smile.'

"You ready?" he asked cheerfully. I put my beat on.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I said eager to get to the beach.

Tonight was my very first bonfire with the La Push gang. Normally I would stay home, eat by myself and watch TV as Sarah was down having fun and telling stories. She would get home and tell me about the fun filled night, me just letting what she says go through one ear and out the other. But not tonight, tonight I would be down there having fun with them.

"So what do you want to do tonight, at the bonfire?" Jake asked with his eyes on the road.

"What everyone else is?" I said back, confused at such a stupid question.

"What about you? What are you going to do?" I asked back, being stupid.

"Well I don't think I will drink tonight." he said and I was shocked.

"They drink? But Sarah... and Billy go!" I said worried, he laughed.

"Yeah, the people from Forks drink."

"Oh" was all I replied. "Well I'm not drinking"

"Good, but... just be careful. Other people do. But don't worry, you have me to protected you" he said calmly, making me smile. There was a small silence that I didn't like.

"Who's going?" I asked all-of-a-sudden. Jacob still with his eyes on the road clenched the wheel and frowned.

"Embry and Quil are coming, few people from the rez, I think some kids from Forks and... Sam." the way he said Sam scared me, anger rocked his voice. I pulled my eyebrows together, a wrinkle of concerned in between them.

"Why are the kids from Forks coming?" I asked him, trying to change the subject. It worked, his face softened and his grip on the wheel loosened.

"They wanted to have a bonfire on the same day so we let them join ours." he said more happily then before. It was weird how happy he got with one question.

"Are you hoping someone you know comes?" I asked him, trying to find out why his mood changed so rapidly.

"Don't know, maybe" he said and I just dropped it.

We soon came to First Beach. Everyone was there, sitting around the fire, some walking down the beach and back and some just having fun. There were faces I knew and faces I didn't. Sarah and Billy were sitting together, Quil with his normal goofy smile and Embry with a small smile saying 'I'm glad you here' walking over to the car there was a few kids I didn't know. They must be from Forks.

Jacob stopped the car and parked it. We got out and I was almost knocked over by Quil's bear hug.

"Hi... Quil... I'm happy... to...see you too..." I said breathless as he tightly squeezed me. Thank god he let go and I could breathe again.

"Hey Em." he said "I'm glad to see you here for once" he laughed.

"How long you stayin' for." Embry asked me, giving me a light hug.

"Until Jake goes" I said pointing at Jake who was walking around the car to meet us.

"Sup guys" Jacob said, doing the little dude hand shake with them.

"Sup man" they answered laughing.

"We should get down there, they're starting the stories now" Embry said and started walking down to the dancing flames. The glow of the fire was beautiful. Quil followed and Jacob put his arm around me, walking me down.

We sat down, Jake and Embry next to me and Quil on the other side of Jake. We listened to the stories about the Quileute legends. Even though I have heard them all before more than once, I still loved to hear them.

I listen so carefully to Billy as he told this story of our ancestors, hanging on word for word as he told it in such detail and emotion. Every time I heard it, it would feel more and more real. As I watched Billy and Sarah through the fire telling their stories, a man stood close by them. He looked in his 20's and was tall and well built. I could feel his eyes on the side of my face as we sat near the fire. It made me nervous.

The stories were over and now everyone was just chatting among themselves.

I could also feel Leah's eyes, as if they were trying to burn a hole in me. I already knew she didn't like me…does she really have to glare at me like that? I thought as I looked down uncomfortable. But it wasn't just her who was staring at me. Other people were. There was a boy sitting across from me, staring with his stunningly blue eyes and then the girl two people away from him, she was shooting daggers at me.

But someone else was as well, someone that I couldn't see. They would most likely be in the shadows or somewhere I couldn't see their face, I knew someone else was, I had the strange feeling you get when someone is watching you when you walk home by yourself.

"Isn't that right Em?" Quil said, breaking my train of through.

"Huh... oh yeah" I said, voice lifeless in through. I didn't like this feeling, it worried me.

"You listen to what I said." Quil huffed, but went on with what he was saying to Embry and Jake. I heard someone walk up to me as I stared at the ground.

"Hey, I'm Mike" the voice said from above. I followed the person's body up to meet with its face. It was the boy who was staring at me from a cross the fire. I smiled to be friendly.

"Hi, umm Emma" I said trying to not give away that I was troubled.

"You must be new here." he said and Jacob tuned in to what was going on.

"No, I have lived here all my life" I said and he looked embarrassed by his question.

"Oh sorry... I just haven't seen you around Forks"

"That's because I don't live in forks" I said with a small laugh. "I live here on the rez"
Jacob was listening now, sitting closer to me. The boy went to say something but the girl walked up and interrupted us.

"Hello" she said in a bouncy but cold voice. "I'm Jess"

"Umm Hi, Emma" I replied. I felt Jacob put his hand on my back as if to say 'just tell me and I will kick his ass'.

"Emma I'm going now!" I heard Sarah called and I took the chance to get out of the awkward moment. I quickly stood up and walked past the boy and the girl to meet with Sarah.

"Ok well just leave the back door open." I said giving her a hug. I still had the feeling of the eyes watching my every move.

"Ok, please be good and stay with Jacob ok!" she said and I nodded. I looked back to see if the boy was still there but he wasn't, I walked back and sat with Jacob. He smiled brightly at me as I sat down.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

"Yeah, why?" I lied.

"Nothing, you just seem unhappy" I smiled.

"I'm happy Jake, I'm with you" I said and he hugged me.

"I'm happy I'm with you too" my heart stopped, my lungs shrunk. The way he said it was different, different then he has ever said it. I thought I was going crazy but it was there. The love was there as clear as day.

He let go and gave me a warm smile. I returned the smiled and we stood up. I looked around to all the kids from Forks getting out drinks and handing them around. I was sure they were not just normal drinks because it smelt like vodka and cheap wine. Jacob was right, there was drinking at the bonfire. Something I never heard about because they would do it after Sarah left. Music started playing and people started dancing, drinking and holding on to each other. I sighed at the site of all the couples dancing.

"Do you want to dance ?" Jacob asked, I looked at him stunned for a moment but quickly recovered.

"No thanks, I'm not the best dancer in the world." I said laughing.

"Come on, you're not that bad," he said holding out his hand. His eyes looked amazing, the fire making them glisten.

"Maybe next time" I said tucking my hair behind one ear. He smiled and shook his head.

"You have to dance with me one day" he said chuckling. Quil walked over with a bottle of something.

"You want some?" he asked putting the bottle near my mouth.

"No thanks Quil, I don't drink vodka or goon" I said and he looked at me as if to say 'what are you talking about'.

"Em this isn't what you think. It's just coke." he said laughing, I grabbed the bottle out of his hand and he stopped. I smelt it and took a small sip. He was right, it was only coke. I started drinking it all and Quil tried to grab it.

"Hey! I said SOME not all!" he said and I gave it back, grinning.

"So why aren't you drinking?" I asked him.

"Because only the pale faces are" he said and I hit him.

"Don't call them that!" I said crossing my arms, I'm pale. Very pale.

"What! I didn't mean you." he said covering his head. Jacob and Embry started cracking up.

"IM PALE!!" I screamed and put my hand up to hit him, most of the bonfire looked at me, but quickly went back to what they were doing.

"You're half Quileute so I didn't mean you!" he said grabbing my arm so I didn't hit him. I sighed.

"That's worse" I said putting my hand down, Jake and Embry still laughing.
After about 30 minutes all the people from Forks were pretty drunk. Jacob, Quil, Embry, I and the others from the rez were normal, only drinking coke and the other sodas. Jake and I were talking happily until a red truck pulled up at the car park. It looked like the Black's old truck. Jacob's face lit up and stared as Bella swan got out of the car.

"Emma stay here I won't be a moment k?" he said not taking his gaze off her. I felt my heart rip a little.

She didn't look very happy, she looked hurt and almost as if she didn't have a heart but her face soon changed a little as Jacob got closer. They hugged tightly and my heart ripped a little more. Jake's face was the thing that gave the last rip of my heart, I looked away. I stood up and walked to the other side of the bonfire.

I brushed my fringe out of my face as I stood against a tree outside the bonfire, at the edge of the woods that drapes over shadowing the damp sand. I wasn't sure why I felt like this but just seeing Jake with another girl made me want to scream with jealousy. suddenly i felt a body next to mine and a looked to my right to find two tall boys standing there.

"Emma." the tallest one said, it was the boy that was near billy earlier tonight. "I'm Sam Uley, Your grandmother Sarah wanted me to look after you." he was the one Jake was talking about in the car, the one that made him angry.

I was surprised and a little annoyed at Sarah because she got this guy I didn't know to look after me, I'm old enough to look after myself.

"You don't have to, I'm fine." I promised. The one that stood behind him walked out and held out his hand.

"I'm Paul. Sarah insisted we watch over you." he said with a strong voice. I was very annoyed but I admired them for their help. I put my hand in his and shook it. His hand was hot, it made my hand burn up and I quickly pulled away and smiled.

"Thanks for caring guys but I'm fine. You can tell Sarah I said thank you." I said with a small laugh. Paul smiled; it was a sexy and playful. Paul was good-looking but he seemed more like a friend.

"We are here if you need anything sweetie." Sam said with a caring voice. I nodded and started to walk back to the bonfire but was met at the huge drift wood log by the boy from before, Mike.

"Hey Emma. Where did you go?" he said slurring his words, he was drunk.

"Umm over there" I said pointing to where I was, Sam and Paul where gone. Mike stubbled over to me, almost knocking me over and spilt his drink all over himself.

"I think you're hot" he said trying to sound normal. I started to wish Jacob was there. I didn't answer, I was starting to get nervous, wondering what he would do.

"I think we should go down the beach more and have some fun," he said putting his arms around me, dropping his drink and started walking away from the bonfire. I struggled and screamed but he wouldn't let go.

"Let go of me!" I ordered but he didn't. Instead I felt his grip tighten and then let go. Paul stepped in front of me, shaking violently and growling.

"Don't fucking touch her!" Paul yelled with so much anger in his voice I jumped. Sam came over and put his hand on Paul's shoulder.

"Not here Paul" he said and Paul calmed down but still was shaking.
Mike backed away scared, Paul put his arm around me and Sam followed Mike. Probably going to talk to him.

"Are you ok?" Paul asked worried. I couldn't speak; I was still in shook from what just happened. Paul put his hands on each side of my face.

"Emma are you ok?" he asked again frantically. "I'm going to kill that fuckhead" he said to himself.

"I-I'm fine" I answered and he sighed in relief.

"Goo-" he said before he was cut off.

"Emma!" Jake snarled, Paul snapped his head to look at Jake. Both their faces filled with hate and anger.

"Come on Em, I will take you home" Jacob said grabbing my arm and pulling me from Pauls grip and in to his arms.
We walked side by side to the car and drove to my place in silence. I got out of the car sheepishly, Jacob was already waited out half way between my house and his car.

"What where you doing with them?!" he asked coldly. I stepped back in shock, a little hurt from the tone of his voice.

"I wasn't with them!" I snapped.

"Don't Lie Emma, I saw him holding your face!" he snapped back just as hurt. I lost it, I wasn't going to take that from him. He told me he would protect me, then runs off with Bella Swan and is now yelling at me for getting saved.

"I was about to get raped Jacob and Paul saved me!" I screamed at him. "Unlike You!"
