Lacey's POV
It was the day of the fight. Of course every body was being to loud and woke up Claire.
We were all in the kitchen getting a pre-fight snack.
Little Claire came down with her teddy, rubbing her eyes.
"Wheres everyone going?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows worriedly.
"Nowhere. I'll take you back to bed." Quil said going to pick her up.
"Quily! Where is everybody going?" Claire demanded.
"Claire, its OK, just go to bed." I said.
"No!"
"Claire."
"Where are you going?"
"Nowhere."
"Then let me stay."
"Claire, its five in the morning. We're just going to school." Max said.
"Ew. OK, going to bed now." Claire yawned leaving the kitchen.
Once I was sure she was gone I turned to Max.
"Nice work, my friend." I said.
"Your not the only one who can come up with plans." Max said smugly.
"Yeah, but I think out of the two of us, I'm the smartest."
"Oh, really?"
"Yep."
"Why don't we test that then?"
"Emily?"
"What?" Emily asked hesitantly, moving away sharp objects.
"Ask an algebra problem." I said.
"What?"
"Ask and algebra problem."
"Oookay. 3x+40=72+8."
"Um...82?" Max guessed.
"No." Emily said.
"1 1/2." I answered.
"Correct." Emily smiled.
"Told ya." I sang smiling 'sweetly' at Max.
"Stupid dwarf." Max muttered.
"Tha- Hey!" I yelled glaring at him.
"Guys, despite how entertaining this is. We kind need to get a move on." Sam said tapping his watch.
"Right; Seth, you know how to put up a tent right?" I asked.
"I have instructions." Was all he said.
"Well, this is gonna be interesting. We're going!" I said grabbing an apple and walking out pulling Seth behind me.
Seth went into the forest to phase and came out as a giant sandy wolf.
''OK Fido, lets go.'' I said hopping onto Seth's bag.
I could practically feel my boyfriend's eyes roll.
"Oh, be quiet. Just go." I laughed.
Seth took off and it wasn't long before we reached the clearing and were trying to figure out how to pitch a tent.
"Geez, you'd think that they would make it easier." I muttered as I tried to figure out where everything went.
It took like four hours, but eventually we got it.
"Few. That was hard." I sighed.
Suddenly it started to rain and I glared at the sky.
"Really?" I asked.
"Please tell me you brought a jacket." Seth sighed, eyeing my thin long sleeved shirt.
"I thought Alice would have- Oops." I said after checking my phone and saw that I had seven texts from Alice saying to bring a jacket.
"Lacey." Seth sighed.
"Sorry, I truthfully didn't think that it would snow." I promised.
Seth went to go phase as Edward arrived.
"Hey." I muttered.
"Hey...you alright?" Edward asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"No, your not."
"Why do you care?"
"Because I keep getting snip bits of your thoughts like your constantly changing your mind. The scariest bit being that you were going to leave after the war. Then I get bits of some guy I've never met."
"Its nothing."
"Liar."
"Stupid mind reading vampire. Don't you know its rude to read someones mind?"
"Do I have the choice?"
"No."
"Exactly."
Before Edward could ask more, Jacob and Bella came.
"We're here." Jacob announced.
"Well, dur sherlock." I said.
"Shut up, dwarf." Jacob teased, putting Bella down.
"Dwarf?" Edward asked.
"Its what I get for being shorter than Alice." I muttered.
Bella chuckled at this and went into the tent.
Not much longer later I heard her snoring.
"Of course, Bella gets to sleep. Bella hasn't been up since four in the morning." I grumbled.
Edward and Jacob turned to glare at me.
"What? I'm just saying!" I shrugged.
The continuous glare was starting to really freak me out.
"Geez, guys, lighten up a bit, will ya?" I asked going into the tent to give them some privacy.
I was in the tent, shivering, but not freezing like Bella.
"What are we going to do?" Edward asked as he watched Bella's lips turn blue.
"I-I d-don't know. I j-just don't wish t-to t-turn into an i-icicle l-like B-Be-Bella." I shivered.
It had started snowing heavily and the whole tent was cold.
"I-I-I a-am n-n-not a-an i-ic-icicle." Bella protested.
"B-Bella, I-I a-am f-fr-freezing. I-it m-must b-b-be w-worse f-for you. M-my b-body c-c-can d-drop t-t-to ei-eighty d-degrees w-without me s-suffering permanent d-d-damage." I scowled.
"No, it can't." Edward said.
"I-I'm j-just t-trying t-to s-say th-that-"
Edward cut me off.
"No." He said.
"Ed-Edward, s-she is f-f-freezing t-t-to d-death. I-its h-her b-best option."
"But-"
"E-Edward! D-do y-you w-want her t-to d-die?"
"No!"
"T-then g-go!"
"What about you?"
"W-we're h-here t-t-to p-protect B-B-Bella. N-not m-me."
"What is with you girls and not seeming to care about yourselves."
"S-shut up a-and g-g-go g-g-get Ja-Jacob."
Edward growled but left.
Once he left Seth walked in and took the one step needed to get to me.
Taking my hand he frowned angrily.
"W-whats w-w-wrong w-with y-you?" I asked.
"I leave for half an hour and your half frozen." He explained rubbing my arms trying to get heat back into them.
"I-I'm f-f-fine." I muttered.
"You are such a liar." Seth sighed putting me on his lap and wrapping his arms around me.
"Join the club."
"What club?"
"The club of people that currently believe I am lying and/or not telling the whole truth. Currently we have Edward and you as the only members."
Seth chuckled at me and rested his head on my hair.
"You have quite a big head, you know." I teased.
Finally Jacob and Edward got here.
"I have the strangest feeling that we're not going to want to be here once Bells falls asleep." I whispered to Seth.
"Probably not." Seth whispered back.
I didn't realize just how tired I was, though, until I fell asleep leaning against Seth.
Thats what I get for staying up until midnight and then waking up at four in the morning.
I was shaken awake by Seth.
"Mrawh, what is it?" I yawned.
"The fights starting, I'm going to phase so I know whats going on." Seth whispered.
I noticed Jacob was already gone, Edward wasn't here, and Bella was face down on the sleeping bag, talking to herself while the harsh nylon muffled her voice.
"And I'm going back to sleep. Bella, can you toss me a blanket?" I asked as Seth got up.
"Bye, Lacey." Seth said.
"Bye, Seth." Bella and I chorused.
Bella tossed me a blanket and I curled up underneath it, but noticed that Bella was still talking to herself.
"Bella, you OK?" I asked.
"No." She snarled.
"OK, night." I said putting my head down to go back to sleep.
"So your not going to persist?"
"Nope."
"Well, I believe that is the first time you've ever given up on something."
"Don't get used to it, I am really tired."
Bella laughed slightly and I dozed off.
Before I knew it, Bella was shaking me awake urgently.
"What do you want?" I yawned.
"Somethings wrong." Bella whispered.
Thats when I noticed the tent was in shreds and Edward and Seth in defensive positions.
The people that walked into the woods were people that were most unwanted.
Well, the others had no idea about one, they all knew that the red head was danger.
I knew better though.
A/N:
Dun, dun, DUN!
NOW can you guys guess who RILEY/Dameon is. I'll give you a hint (you no longer get the bonus chapter though, I'll just upload it as a one shot.) By the way, sorry if Seth and Lacey's relationship moved a little too fast. Oh, well!
Bye!
