Lacey's POV:
Ring, Ring, Ring
What is that?
Ring, Ring, Ring
Is it my phone? Wait, who would be calling me?
Ring, Ring, Ring
Did I forget to shut off my alarm clock again?
Ring, Ring, Ring
Yep, I did.
Why would I forget?
Oh, yeah, Embry came home!
Jumping out of bed, I shut off my alarm clock, got dressed and ran downstairs where mom was making breakfast.
"Your up early." Aunt Tiffany observed.
"Yeah, I forgot to turn off my alarm clock. Where's Embry?" I asked.
"He left earlier." Aunt Tiffany said dejectedly.
"Why?"
"His friends came by earlier."
Taken aback I dropped the plate I had taken out of the cabinet.
"Oops." I said stooping down to the broken plate.
"I suppose your going to ask me if you could use your powers?" Aunt Tiffany guessed sighing.
"Can I?"
"Sure."
Quickly I waved my hand over the broken plate and watched it come back together.
"You need to be more careful." Aunt Tiffany chided as I put bacon on my plate.
"I know, it was an accident. I never knew that Jacob and Quil were component to wake up earlier than eight on a Saturday." I chuckled.
"It wasn't Jacob and Quil, Lacey. It was Jared and Paul."
"Oh."
"What?"
"N-nothing."
I put pancakes onto my plate and sat down to eat.
When Aunt Tiffany sat down, she watched me as she ate.
"I thought Embry was grounded." I said.
"He is." Aunt Tiffany sighed.
"Isn't the meaning of grounded staying in your house and losing TV and phone privileges?"
"I didn't let him go."
"OK, now I'm confused.
"He left, Lacey, without my permission. I opened the door to see two kids I recognized as Jared and Paul wearing only cut off jeans. They asked to see Embry and when I told them he was grounded they just kept on saying it was important. Then Embry came down and just left when he saw Jared and Paul."
If life was a cartoon my mouth would have been on the floor.
This wasn't like Embry, shapeshifter or not!
I mean, I knew for a fact that the Cullens were nice, heck I was friends with them!
An idea of what I could do with my day blossomed in my mind.
"Hey, mom, I'm going to go see Alice today, OK?" I asked.
"Go crazy. Do you need a ride?" Aunt Tiffany asked.
Suddenly my phone beeped.
I'll be at the treaty line at ten! :)
-Alice
"No, I'm meeting her at the La Push boundary line." I answered eating the last of my pancakes.
I quickly finished, rinsed off my plate, and ran to my room to get changed.
Looking through my closet, I found my favorite purple Bullet For My Valentine t shirt that I matched with a black skirt and leggings, black cardigan, and white flats.
I quickly put my auburn hair in a side ponytail and slid in a simple white head band.
Grabbing my skateboard I ran downstairs and into the study where Aunt Tiffany was.
"I'm leaving." I said hugging her and giving her a quick kiss on her cheek.
"Your skating in flats? One day your going to get heart." Aunt Tiffany admonished.
"I'll be fine." I laughed going out the door.
I quickly skated to the boundary line where I saw Alice and Edward standing next to Edward's Volvo.
Quickly, I skated over to them and saw Embry, Jared, Paul, and a guy that I recognized as Sam: the pack.
"Hey, Embry. Don't you know that your grounded?" I asked skating over to him, staying on the La Push boundary line.
"I know that Lace. Why are you here again?" Embry asked.
Obviously they just had to be so, uh, territorial of their land.
"I'm going to the Cullens, duh." I laughed.
"No, your not." Embry said.
"Embry, I go there a lot. Hello, you used to be my ride." I laughed going to skate over the line.
I was stopped quickly by the entire pack.
"Go home." Sam ordered.
"No." I tested.
Sam's grip on my arm tightened.
"You don't want to see me angry." He muttered.
I had to bite back a laugh as did Edward and Alice.
We knew that I could EASILY kick all of their butts.
OK, I could easily kick Sam's butt alone, but I would need a little help to take on all four shifters.
"Can I go? I mean, whats a good explanation for me not to go over to the Cullens. Their just human." I shrugged, knowing they couldn't say no.
"Fine." Sam said letting go.
"Sam!" Embry exclaimed.
"Later losers!" I called skating over the boundary line.
I hopped into the back seat of Edward's car
Once we were driving we started cracking up.
"I'm guessing they have no idea that your a cambion?" Alice asked.
"Nope." I said popping the p.
We made it to the Cullens mansion of a house that never ceases to impress me but Edward didn't get out of the car.
Instead he left once Alice and I were out.
"Bella again?" I guessed.
"Oh, yes." Alice laughed smiling fondly.
"Is it just me, or is it weird that the youngest friend I have is older than fifty?" I asked.
"Its weird." Alice agreed.
I rolled my eyes and we headed inside.
We walked inside where Jasper and Emmet were playing Mario Kart.
"Ha! I won again!" Emmet exclaimed.
"I hate this game." Jasper growled.
"Let me play." I smirked taking Jasper's controller.
The game played and with a few…well pressed buttons my kart was already on its third lap while Emmet had barely started the first.
"Wha- How did you do that?" Emmet demanded as I finished the lap.
"My cousin taught me." I said.
"He's a god." Emmet said in awe causing Alice and I to crack up.
"What?" Emmet asked confused.
"Emmet, my cousin's a 'dog'." I laughed.
The look on Emmet's face was hilarious.
"Gross." He stated.
"Rematch?" I asked.
"Only if you don't cheat." Emmet said glaring at me.
"Emmet, your asking the daughter of the devil not to to cheat."
"Right. So, I'm guessing your still going to cheat?"
"Thought it was obvious."
Emmet rolled his eyes but started the game again.
That was how the whole day went, the Cullens and I goofing off and having fun.
Emmet was a dumbo and decided that when we went to McDonalds to see how many fries he could eat without feeling sick.
The total was eighty seven.
At around seven Alice drove me home for Edward spent the whole day with Bella.
Once we hit the boundary line, Alice stopped and suddenly became really distant.
"Alice?" I asked.
She came back and bit her bottom lip while looking at me.
"Yeah, Embry isn't very happy is he?" I guessed.
"Nope." was alice's answer.
"I'll be fine. See ya!" I said grabbing my skate board and getting out of the car.
"Bye, Lacey Mae!" Alice called, then driving away.
I skated to my house where Aunt Tiffany was sitting on the rocking chair on the porch doing the bills.
"Very cliché Aunt Tiff!" I laughed.
I darted into the house and missed a badly aimed paper ball.
When I got into the kitchen I saw Embry raiding the pantry.
"Hey." I said grabbing an apple.
"Lacey! I need to talk to you." Embry said sitting down at the small two seater table in the kitchen.
"Cool, I need to talk to you too." I smiled sitting down.
I bit into the apple and felt the cool juices encase my tongue.
Fresh fruit and vegetables were something that was forbidden to cambions in the Abyss.
"Me first. Lacey, I want you to stop seeing the Cullen family." Embry said.
"What?" I asked.
"Look, the Cullens are bad news."
"The Cullens are my only friends."
"But you can make other friends. Friends your own age."
"Everyone here thinks I'm nuts and hates my guts."
"If you wouldn't be hostile and mean, you would have friends."
Thats around the time I snapped.
"Don't you give me a lesson on friends and being nice and whatever. When is the last time you have talked to Jacob and Quil, hm? Or have you just replaced them with Jared and Paul? Your worse than me because I didn't have friends in the first place, but you, you abandoned yours." I seethed.
I got up and tried to go out but Embry grabbed my shoulders.
"I'm just trying to protect you." He said.
"Well, dear cousin, you might think your strong, but I'm stronger than you, mentally and physically." I growled ripping myself away from him and running up the stairs. (A/N: No, Embry did NOT imprint on his cousin, he's just trying to protect her from the Cullens.)
(**)
It had been a couple weeks since I had had that fight with Embry.
I never was home anymore if I didn't have to be, I always went to the Cullens.
Aunt Tiffany was confused and worried, her kids were fighting and she was stuck dead in the middle between a rebellious shifter, not that she knew he was a shifter, and a devil's child.
As I trudged to school one monday morning, I thought about how I would have to do another Chemistry assignment alone since Seth was in the process of phasing.
When I walked through the doors, I saw Drew and Mitzi fighting yet again.
"What are you two fighting about now?" I sighed.
"I want to leave." Mitzi complained to Drew.
"I don't!" Drew whined.
Annoyed that they kept on ignoring me, I departed and went to my locker.
As I grabbed my biology stuff, my phone beeped.
TURN AROUND!
-Alice
Doing as instructed, I saw Seth talking to my brother and the pack.
It had practically doubled with new additions being Seth, Jacob, Quil, and Leah.
I rolled my eyes and turned back to my locker.
Quickly I texted Alice back.
Alice, I already knew Seth was a SS!
SS stands for shape shifter incase you didn't know.
I grabbed my Chemistry stuff and headed to class and was there before anyone else.
It wasn't long before Seth walked in and sat next to me.
"Hey, Lacey." Seth said.
"Hey." I said turning my head to look at him.
When our eyes met it was like the world stopped spinning, until the bell rang.
"OK, class, today we are going to make a small chemical reaction. Now, this will include fire," as soon as he said that I involuntarily went rigid, "so I'm expecting you all to be mature and safe." Mr. Burns, the name was starting to sound extremely ironic, said.
He gave us the direction and when the fire was lit I couldn't take my eyes off of it.
Unwanted memories rushed to me, feelings too.
Pain, humiliation, self-doubt, suffering, ect.; the Abyss.
"Lacey, are you OK?" Seth asked, his words laced, no pun intended, with worry.
"I'm fine." I whispered ripping my gaze away from the fire and too my notebook.
"What happened?" Seth asked.
"Nothing."
"I would hardly call that nothing."
"Just drop it OK?"
My loud voice caused some unwanted attention.
"Look, can we just do our experiment?" I asked.
"Sure." Seth said, though he clearly didn't want to.
Through the whole class period, Seth just stared at me, it was creepy.
During lunch, I decided to hide in the library's loft with my cell phone so I could text Alice.
Allie, how do you get over a fear?
-me
What sort?
-Alice
A fear of fire
Lacey, theres nothing wrong with being afraid of fire, you have a good reason
IK but its still silly
