Wello readers :)
This chap is full of surprises :D
As promised, here it is. Thank you for the reviews! They made me smile, like they always do!
Read on!
You make the darkness disappear
I feel found when you stay near
I know where I am when you are here
My way becomes so clear
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Lights-Drive my Soul
Ellie's POV
"Wait…what?" I asked while Jake backed out of my drive way, "The truth? Who was lying?"
"Um…everyone-ish?" Embry hesitated. I turned from the front seat to glare at him.
"Are you serious? Everyone?" I asked focused back on Jake, the person who I trust with everything. I prayed in my mind that he would never lie, that he was the only one.
"Yeah," he sighed sadly, "even me." I gasped and tear began to fill my eyes.
No…not him…
"Have you ever wondered why I have been away for so long?" Jake said giving me a quick glance.
"Yeah,"
"That's what we are going to tell you about and much more," Jake announced he quickly reached over and grabbed my hand to squeeze, "You told me a deep secret. Now it's my turn."
We pulled up near the side of the road, next to the forest next to Jack's car. We got out of the car and began to walk into the forest until we reached a clearing. Everyone from the bonfire (apart from a few of the workers) was there.
"W-what's going on?"
"Ellie, What we are about to tell you cannot be told to anyone else," Sam instructed and I nodded, not knowing what to say. Jake stood next to me holding onto my hand tightly and comfortingly.
"Do you remember weeks ago, at the bonfire where you met everyone the legends?"
"Yeah…" I said becoming nervous with everyone's eyes on me.
"They're…basically true…"
.
..
…
""GAHAHAHAHAH! Good one! You almost got me!" I tried laughing it off, sounding like a maniac. I tell Jake about how some monster drains my mother and father dry and then he goes tells everyone that I'm a freak and pretend that their legends are real?
That's nice of him.
Still laughing hysterically, I soon noticed no one else was, all their faces serious.
"You've got to be kidding me," I said becoming slightly angry, "werewolves?"
"Yes, they are real and-"
"Let me guess…You guys are supernatural dogs?" I huffed, "Well! How lovely! Do you really think I'm going to believe that?" I turned to Jake, ripping my hand from his grip, "And you, really? I trusted you Jacob Black. I told you something that I wouldn't tell a soul and what do you do? Make a joke out of it. NOT FUNNY." I yelled. He looked like he was about to cry, but I beat him to it. "The cold ones…yes, possibly. But werewolves? Think of a better mystical creature. Maybe fairies or wizards! Maybe there's a real life Hogwarts!"
"Honey calm down," Lisa soothed, "Just listen to them."
I sighed and agreed. Hey! If I believe in a blood sucking monster that destroyed my life, maybe I could try and believe in this mumbo-jumbo.
"Ok, go on! Prove it," I challenged all of them.
Embry ran off from the groups and disappeared into the forest. I sat onto the dust floor and waited, for something, anything. I had to admit…I didn't want Jacob to be wrong about this, as crazy as it sounded.
There was a ripping sound and than a dark four legged figure came out from the trees.
A wolf to be exact
With the fun, teasing eyes of Embry Call
Holy crap…
"Do you believe us now," Jake said from the side of me softly.
"Yeah, just a little," I replied in the same tone, my eyes not leaving Embry\the wolf.
Embry trotted towards me, his head down…does he want me to pat him or something?
I took a deep breath and reached out my shaking hand to pat the giant dog.
"This is so weird…" I mumbled. The dog form of Embry made a sound of laughter and the ran of into the woods. "Who…who else?"
"Myself, Embry, Quil, Seth, Leah, Collin, Brady and Jared and Paul…thought they are going to stop phasing soon," Jake explained,
"Ok…can we start from the beginning?"
Sam took a deep breath and began to explain everything, "Well, the boys and Leah all have the quintet blood in them, werewolf blood, from the legends. Usually people don't turn into shapeshifters-the proper name for them- until 16 or 17 years of age. At first it is painful and hard but it gets better. Shapeshifters have massive amounts of power and body temperatures up to 180 degrees! They are on earth for one prepose; to kill vampires…cold ones," he stopped and looked into the distance. I looked in the same direction and saw a group walking towards us. As they came closer I noticed who they were
The Cullen's
"Hello Ellie," Carlisle greeted, "It's good to see you again."
I said my hellos and asked why they were here.
"We too have something to say that you cannot tell anyone," Edward spoke up, "we're vampires."
Unsuspected much? I began to slowly back away from them. They were just like the monster...they were all like the monster...
"But we are not like…the man you saw on the bus," Alice added quickly, "We do not harm humans, like him. We drink from animal blood."
I quickly covered my mouth, beginning to feel like I was going to vomit with the over load of information.
This was too much.
This was way too much.
I needed-
"Water?" Jake asked handing out a bottle towards me.
I took the bottle slowly, "how did you know?"
"It's not everyday you find out about how a group werewolves and vampires are your friends. I'd figure you needed it," he answered. I thanked him and took a gulp of it.
"Is Renesme a-"
"Vampire?" Bella cut in, sounding slightly irritated "No, she's a half vampire. Edward and I had her while I was human and he a vampire."
"How does everyone else know about this?" I asked the non-cullen's.
"Emily, Rachel, Claire-over there with Quil -and I are imprints," Kim smiled. Jake stiffened next to me, but Kim didn't notice. "An imprint is a shapeshifter's soul mate. One of these guys look at a girl dead in the eye and all the strings that tight them to this earth are cut off, nothing else matters, only the girl they imprint on. They can be what ever she want with her-a friend, a lover, a brother" Kim cuddled into Jared's side, "Jared imprinted on me, Sam on Emily, Paul on Rachel and Quil on Claire."
"Oh," I sighed, thinking if Jake imprinted on some one…"What about the people who haven't been imprinted on, like Billy and Sue?"
"They are what we call the quintet Elders. They are the protectors and chiefs of this tribe," Sam explained.
I nodded slowly.
"What about Jack and Lisa? How do they know?" I asked. Everyone's eyes shot to the couple.
"Yeah, none of us know that yet, except the elders," Quil said playing with Claire.
Jack laughed awkwardly and took Lisa's hand. "We have a long story…I was born in America. Here actually, in La Push. I was a door-step baby, along with my twin sister. We grew up in the orphanage with her; we were the best of friends, growing up. One day, at the age of 6, we were adopted by an Australian couple. Both my twin and I moved with them back to Australia, a farm in New South Wales. We grew up like their own, we were happy. At the age of 16 my temper grew until one day…I popped. I was a shape shifter," everyone gasped. Jack was a werewolf?
"I had no idea what was wrong with me. My sister helped me through it, she was scared for me too. One day she met a man in a town nearby who accidentally touched her and said that her child would be the prophecy and that she would see him again. She was really freaked out. I did my best to comfort her. I got my temper control in check and planned on moving with my sister to Sydney. We left the country when we were 22 and I soon met Lisa coming back from the local shops to my twin and my apartment.."
"And imprinted on me!" Lisa giggled, "Like I told you ages ago on how I met him, El. It was a click, but I never felt so in love. I soon met his sister and we became the best of friends. She also fell in love with none other than my cousin and my best friend. They were such a lovely couple. Jack told me about his secret. After a trip to the bush, him phasing in front of me and me fainting a few times I believed him. His sister soon got married and had a beautiful baby girl and we soon did the same…with no luck with the baby."
Jack began to speak again, "Though we didn't have a child, we were still happy to grow old with each other. A few years after both marriages we got an urgent call from my sister and brother in law. She told us that the man that told her that her child was the prophecy had been with her child after school and now he was going to get them on the day before the little girl's birthday. She told them if she and her husband were to die tonight, she wanted us to adopt her daughter in a few years time and protect her with all we have. I agreed and said our goodbyes. The next day I found out my sister was dead…"
"Oh…my…god," I whispered, fitting all the pieces together, "you're my uncle? My mother was your sister?"
He nodded.
"You were the one mum and dad called before…they were…I…" I began to cry again.
Jake pulled me towards him and I buried myself into his chest.
"We moved here, back in La Push, too keep you save. Your mother also told us that he would come and take you away at the age of 18. We knew there was a werewolf pack here, so, here we are!" Jack finished
Way too much…
"Jake, I think you and Elanora should go for a walk," Billy suggested, "We have plans that we will fill you in with later."
Jake nodded, got up, helped me up and we walked away in silence.
Deeper and deeper into the forest I asked him where we were going.
"You'll see," Jake said with a small, nervous smile, "I have something to tell you."
I soon heard the sound of crashing waves and the smell of the sea and then I saw it.
First Beach
"I wanted to take you hear because it was the first place I saw you," Jake explained.
"Uh-huh,"
We walked half way, between the water and the forest and we sat down and stared out at the waves in a comfortable silence which was soon broken by Jake.
"I'm not sure how you'll react to this," Jake began, "but, I need to tell you."
He's imprinted…hasn't he? I just knew it. Why did I fall so hard on him? I wonder how this girl is…probably beautiful…
"I…I imprinted," Jake looked down at the ground, avoiding my eyes, which were on the edge of crying yet again. I knew it.
"On you."
What?
"There I said it,"
Was he serious?
"I hope you don't hate me for this."
Oh my god
He got up and began to walk away. I ran towards him and before my mind could regain control off my heart I grabbed him and kissed him with all my might. He kissed me back, moving his hand to cup my cheek. It felt amazing. It was amazing.
We broke away and stood there, forehead to forehead, staring at each others eyes for what seemed like ages. The wind was softly blowing around us. There was no one else here. Just Jacob and me.
"You drove me home," I whispered.
"Huh?"
"Lisa was driven home by Jack after they met. She trusted him a lot for some strange reason," I laughed softly, "He imprinted on her that day, when he drove her home."
He smiled at me with happiness and love.
"You drove me home."
You drive my soul.
OMG
OMG
OMG!
So Jack and Lisa are Ellie's uncle and aunt, Ellie is some type of prophecy and Jake and Ellie KISSED!
THE DRAMA!
