I know I know. You guys asked for a chapter so here it is. I know it's short and probably not the best one. Sorry. Still…having some trouble getting my head back on. But please enjoy the chapter.
I do not own Twilight the series and/or its characters. Only my own characters are mine.
Like promised I stayed with Jacob that night. I wasn't happy, but I did anyways.
I sat on his bed glaring with my arms crossed. I wasn't completely mad at Jacob. I mean, he was worried yeah, but it wasn't right for him to explode like that in front everyone.
"Schyler you've got to talk to me," he said again, sitting next to me. I looked at him annoyed.
"Why…did…you do that?" I spat at him. He stared at me a little afraid.
"You look really mad," he said. I nodded, rolling my eyes.
"You think!" I yelled standing.
"Calm down! You've never been this mad before," he said, stepping in front of me. I pressed my hands together and looked at him.
"Okay think about what just happened Jacob. The person I have grown up with all of my life and she became my sister…is leaving me…forever. Then you jump through my window freaking out about my safety when you know I'm very safe. And Seth get's dragged into it too!"
He stared at me before nodding.
"I see what you mean," he said. I shook my head.
"I'm going to Seth's house for a while okay? I'll be back before it gets dark so don't worry," I said as he before he could talk.
He frowned.
"Look you don't have to be mad. I can go apologize," he said. I shook my head some walking out.
"It's fine. I'm not mad," I said, obviously lying.
I got outside and saw it was almost dark. I didn't even get all the way to Seth's house before he appeared in front of me.
"Hey Sky," he said smiling. I just frowned, crossing my arms, and his smile dropped.
"Oh."
"Wanna go cliff diving?" I asked. He looked back at the reservation as I went towards the forest.
"Um no I don't actually. Jacob will get really mad if he finds out we did that. He'll get even more mad if you get hurt by doing something so reckless-"
"It's okay," I replied, not looking back at him.
He followed me quickly as we walked into the dark forest.
I knew full well Jacob was going to be ticked. Served him right. I mean, people might think it was really bitchy what I was doing right now, but I could care less. I was in a foul mood. The worst I've been in for a long time, and I wasn't about to play fair.
We got to a the high cliffs and I looked at Seth who was frowning worriedly.
"Schyler this is really high. Higher than what Sam usually jumps off of!" he explained. I looked at him and he moved his long black hair staring at me.
"Tell me what's really on your mind," he said.
I dropped my angry façade and sat down with a huff.
"Bella's leaving and she didn't even bother to tell me. We could have done a whole lot more things together. Now she's graduating tomorrow and then after that she'll be going away," I said picking at the ground.
Seth sat down next to me nodding.
"So you're really sad…you're just covering it up by anger and recklessness," he translated. I glared at him.
"No. I'm disappointed and pissed off. Don't mix it up," I said quickly. He nodded raising an eyebrow and I looked away again.
"And maybe I'm a little sad," I mumbled.
He shrugged, leaning back on his hands.
"It's okay to feel that way Schyler. It's to be expected finding things out like that on such short notice," he said.
I sighed. "She could have told me."
He looked at me. "Maybe she didn't know how. You flipping out on her didn't help things either Schyler."
I looked down frowning softly. Great. Now I felt bad.
"Whatever," I muttered stripping off my shoes and jacket.
I stood up and took a few strides back. Seth stood up looking at me. I inhaled remembering what Carlisle told me.
'It's all about concentration.'
I ran forwards, the surroundings slowing down with every step I took.
'Controlling what you feel is the key to controlling your powers.'
I stepped and jumped over, spreading my arms. I heard Seth yell at me but I didn't listen.
'If you're sad, the water is the one that will move with you the most. Anger, frustration, those will be shown with your fire and wind. You've got to learn how to control it or it will backfire.'
I broke the water and opened my eyes, looking around. My hair floated around me gently and I brought my hand to my mouth.
I needed to see how long I could last underneath the water.
I counted in my head but felt that I need air by the time I got to thirteen. I didn't go up though. I stayed under.
'Can't…go yet…need to calm down!' I thought getting frustrated. I floated under, keeping my eyes shut.
I took my hand off of my face and coughed. I inhaled surprised and looked around to see I was still underwater.
I felt my mouth and nose but I felt a bubble. It was a mask!
I started laughing some and came up from the water. Seth was screaming for me at the top and I put a thumbs up.
"I'm fine!" I hollered up. But it was muffled. I shook my head and went back under, heading for shore.
It took longer than expected to get to shore and it was freezing cold. Not to mention it was darker now. By the time I got to land I was chattering, blue lips, and tired. But I felt great!
I crawled on shore and fell down on the surface breathing heavily, waves still reaching up to my chest.
"What the hell!"
I looked up and Seth dropped next to me looking at my mouth.
"What is on your face!" he yelled. I sighed deeply the mask falling off as water and sat up.
Seth stared at the ground where the mask bubble just fell before looking at me.
"There is something you aren't telling me," he stated blankly. I smiled nervously, biting my lip and looked to the side.
"Err…"
"And me."
Seth and I both looked behind us at Jacob who was standing there with his arms crossed. I cursed looking down as both boys stared at me for answers.
I sat with my arms crossed not saying anything. After I had gotten warm and back to Jake's house, I was deeply interrogated in his living room by Seth, Jacob, and the rest of the pack.
How they got dragged into this…well…let's just say Jacob was really pissed off right now.
"Schyler I swear-!"
"I'm not saying anything!" I yelled up at him. We were both standing in front of each other. I was on one side of the living room and all of the boys were behind Jacob and Seth, apparently on their team.
"Schyler…you have been keeping secrets from me and I've had enough!" Jacob snapped. I saw his jaw clench and I glared.
"You wouldn't understand! I didn't want it to be your problem! I was going to tell you just not until I was ready! It's not your burden!"
"You're my girlfriend!" he said, staring at me like I was stupid. I clenched my fists.
"Not your damn wife!" I shouted.
We stared at each other hotly and I shook my head.
"Oh my-! It doesn't matter!"
Paul looked at me.
"You FLIPPED me over! No one can do that!" he said. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised.
"Obviously I can." He growled at me and Quil stepped in front of him.
"Schyler do you have a…power?" Quil asked unsurely, looking at me. I looked to the side frowning.
I was pissed off because I was being yelled at. Okay, I didn't tell them yes, but only because I wanted to wait until I mastered what powers I had. If I would have gone to them talking about elements they would have stared at me and Jacob would have flipped shit on how dangerous it was!
"The Cullens know I bet!" Embry said, standing next to the doorway.
I looked over at him sharply and Jacob looked at me, getting it.
"They're the ones that did-?"
"No and don't you dare assume that!" I snapped up him. He watched me and I glared at them.
"Fine! You wanna know! I'll fight you!" I said losing it. This surprised them and I nodded walking to the door.
"Yeah. Let's go! You wanna know what I'm capable of? You can find out!" I said going outside.
Seth ran out behind me quickly.
"Schyler! Stop this! Fighting Jacob will get you hurt!" he said looking at me with frantic eyes.
I ignored him as the pack walked out.
"Come on Jake! You won't hit me and you won't win," I taunted. I saw his jaw clench again along with his fists as he stood a yard from me.
"I'm not fighting you," he said. I laughed openly and looked at Paul.
"Oka-"
"Stop it damnit!" Jacob yelled, about on the edge. I looked at him.
"Stop accusing me of things! Or others! You don't want me to be this way anymore than stop acting like you own me! Trust me once in a while!" I shouted pointing at myself.
"I only do it because I care!" he countered. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah well you should stop being an idiot! Fight me and watch that I'm not the helpless cry baby anymore!" I said. Before I blinked Jacob had phased.
I heard the pack yell at him and jump out of the way as he growled, glaring at me.
"Schyler!" Seth yelled. I looked Jacob in his brown eyes as my own narrowed. He came at me quickly and I narrowed my eyes.
I was angry. I knew that. So pissed off I could barely see straight. I was mad at Jacob and Seth for not having faith in me! Mad at Edward and Bella for leaving me. And mad at myself…because I was once again…losing control of my life.
I put my hands up in front of me as Jake jumped in the air. I focused and pushed off. Jacob bounced off of some type of dome and flew backwards, back where he started.
I stood straight, making sure I didn't hurt him and sure enough he was back on his feet, shaking his head.
I looked at my hands before turning around.
"Just…I'm done with all of you for right now," I said softly. I brushed passed Seth as he stared silently at Jacob.
"She just…"
"Blew you across the reservation, dude," Embry said, shocked.
