Well She find Him or end up losing everything!
Chapter 2: Who is that?
Ok a little about me. I have a very dramatic and dynamic mind in which the things I read or write are warped into my very own world. But don't get me wrong I love Stephenie Meyer and her characters but they just didn't fit that well in my story. So after some thinking on my part I came up with this genius plan. Hope you enjoy my story. ~~Mary Mab
Disclaimer: The characters are Stephenie Meyer's just tweaked for my crazy mind.
~(~)~ ~(~)~ ~(~)~Merana's point of view
Just as I was slipping a few 100's into Sam's pocket I felt Jared's strong arms wrap around my waist and hauled me away. Now and then Jared stopped and talked to someone. My lord it was hard to keep all the names and faces straight, for the entire time I was looking for the boy I had mistaken as the leader. But Jared was loving the entire scene, talking to other shape-shifters, being around people and just having plain fun. I just couldn't help but play along and have fun with my love.
Then he did what I was not prepared for he placed me right before the young leader I was looking for. I was so happy that I didn't even notice when a petite famine hand grasped my outstretched hand.
"Hi I'm Isabella but please just call me Bella." the girl stated. She was very remarkable in that she looked fragile but I had the feeling she was very brave. Then as I stood there shaking her hand I got the feeling she would be comfortable if I was cold and stoned skin. Which just about had me shifting if Jared had not reached forward to shake the young leader's hand while placing his other hand on my back.
"Kewl name, I'm Jay and…"
"I'm Merana." I said interrupting Jared, though he was going to use my nickname. Switching with Jared so to shake the boys hand. I was given another shock, though I accepted some differences in their body heat, just not the searing heat I got.
'She's really cold for a human M'a.' Jared thought.
"Yeah well I'm Jacob and on my way to get some of that food that they have over there. What about you Jay?" At that Jacob bent over and gathered Bella into his arms. She was very tiny compared to Jacob and white. He strolled over to a nearby log and plucked her there. It was funny till Jared did the same thing with me.
'Hey M'a you mind if I get some food.' Jared thought as he sat me on the log next to Bella.
"Jared can you get me something to eat please." I said so to make sure he got me something. Then thought 'Just don't eat them out of food please.' I wanted something left behind since we were guests. For tribes like this one could barely afford what they needed besides what they had. I also didn't want to be rude to our new friends, will not yet.
"They never do get enough to eat, do they"! Bella joked as we watched them strolled away. I laughed for she had no clue how much Jared ate. But then maybe she did for she bumped me, which just got us laughing more. Hearing her laugh was music to my ears.
"Well I don't know about your boys, but Jared is a bottomless pit when he isn't sleeping." This just seemed to arise a bigger laugh out of her and I wanted more. "I just hope he remembers me."
"Oh please, we will only get one hot dog with mustard and maybe a handful of chips. If there's any left by the time they get over here." I just couldn't help but hoot at her joke. She smiled as she snickered, which was one more thing that I just enjoyed. I was starting to feel that I knew her or maybe she was reminding me of someone I missed.
"So where is your family?" I know she was only trying to find something to talk about but that hit a real sore point. Looking away I started wondering how my family; Draco, Kurk, Karen, everyone even Crispin, were doing right at this moment. I really missed them and would love to just hold them right now but I couldn't.
"It's just Jared and I." I said suddenly interested into my hands. It really surprised me when I saw her white petite hands grasp both of mine. It was really nice of her to try to consol me but my pain was my doing.
"Do you mind me asking…" I nodded my head, as I looked her in the eye before she could finish. "Is it because you are with Jared?" Looking in her eyes I realized I knew her eye color. Which was weird for I usually don't see the features of a person just their soul. So it took a moment before I remembered her question and came up with an answer.
"No it's just to dangerous to be with family or even friends right now." I really wanted to know what she was thinking but because my powers weren't focusing I couldn't get a good read of her soul.
"So it's ok for Jared to visit his kind but not his family!" Though it sounded like a question it was a statement.
"Oh no this is just a pit stop for us. Until we are finish neither one of us have a family!" I know it sounded hard but it was the truth.
"So what are you on a mission or something?" She asked rubbing my hands. She was good, asking questions instead of saying what was on her mind. But I was still learning a lot from what she wasn't saying. Like how she was collecting info for a later date or that I was distraught over not being with my family.
"You could say that. We're just looking for someone." which I really hope Chef, Jared's friend, could help us find him (Zancaius).
"Then he's pretty important to you and Jared to leave everyone behind and risk it all." God she was good. Not even the sisters got that we were on a mission but then again they fully trusted us.
"Well that's could've an understatement. He's everything." oh no I didn't just say that. 'Jared please hurry, I am talking.' I so hope Jared heard me sometimes he gets caught up and forgets to listen for me. "You know you are very observant!"
Now that hit a nerve for she looked away. Though I did catch the look of longing and lost. That reminded me of how Jared looked when he thought I was dying. Oh my god. "So where is he?" I said as quietly as I possibly could so she could still hear me.
"He's… he's busy. Something came up so I came here…!" she seemed so flustered that even talking about why she was here was against some rule. I am so over the rules, but soon very soon they are going bye-bye. I was thankful she hadn't look to me for I knew I had a stupid grin on my face at that moment
"Well he must really trust Jacob." I said pointing to the guys, who were just laughing at a joke someone told.
"No he trusts me." she responded glancing back to me.
Turning to give her my full attention I turned her so that she could only see me. "Bella it's not his trust in you. For your far more then just someone. You're his heart. His life. So when you're not with him he isn't really alive." She didn't seem to believe me cause she wasn't looking me in the eye anymore. "Ok look it this way, when your not with him you feel empty, lonely. Like there's no reason for you to be alive." She nodded telling me I was right. "And when you're not with him, he feels the same. So whomever you are with is someone he trusts with his heart. He will never say it or even think it himself but he does."
"Wow, I never thought of that." She said turning back to look through the crowd toward our silly guys. But seemed lost in thought as she thought of him.
'Jared, Jared are you listening to me.'
'Yes I heard you, I am on my way back now.'
"Hey the guys are coming!" looking back I was surprised to be once again face to face with her. Something in her eyes told me she had a question, so I waited for her to ask.
"You and Jared have had a lot of dealings… with immortals?" Nodding so as not to interrupt her, she continued almost desperate for my answer. "How do you destroy or even fight something that is stronger then you?"
"You don't!"
"But what if you don't have a choice."
"Bella listen. You have a choice, whether you believe it or not. You do." She wasn't happy with me answer and was turning from me. I seized her to keep her attention on me. "Bella you must even the field, either with info or backup. But you never go to battle without something up your sleeve."
"Can we talk before you leave?"
"I would love that." as we turned to face the crowd again, I thought of something. "Well he be there?"
She nodded, for at that moment that was the only thing she could do. The guys were back and handing us our plates, which happen to be the same exact thing. A hot dog with mustard, some chips, and a cookie. Bella and I just had to snicker, which seemed to get the guys attention.
"What's so funny you too?" they both asked, which had us doubling over with laughter. Standing up I took my plate and gave Jared a kiss on the lips as I moved to the rock that was on the other side of Bella. Bella just accepted her plate but kept snickering as Jacob sat next to her. Jared remained standing as he ate and continued the conversation he was having with Jacob.
For the rest of the time Bella and I just exchanged smiles and looks as we played with our food. It seemed that Bella had the same type of appetite I had. None. For some reason this made me feel better, maybe because no one would think twice of me if I didn't eat. Except the only thing I was worried about was the trouble she was in and what I could possibly do to help her.
The moon was just raising when everyone started moving so as to see the elders who had joined us. I was surprised to see them stationed in chairs along the cliff side of the clearing.
This was my favorite part the legends. Stories of past actions and of the good old glory days.
Jared being quick positioned himself on the rock with me in his lap, putting me closer to Bella. Which I did not mind but I just had to remember to stay warm and support a heart beat. I always seem to lose myself in the past especially when I lived during that time or happen to be a part of it.
~"~ ~"~ ~"~ Bella's point of view
The legends of Jacob's past were so captivating that everything else just melted away. The story of the first warrior and how he saved his people was amazing. I just wish they know more about what had happen to him before he became the warrior of the tribe. For there was a gape in his life were he was missing from the tribe and considered dead before reappearing years later. And it was said that he didn't even age during that gape or after he returned. That he lived ten centuries. During which time he had four wives, who each gave him three children. Each of the children were capable of becoming wolves just like their father thus continuing the tradition of protecting the tribe long after his passing.
Though it was the tale of his death that was heart wrenching. For two vampires found the small tribe and decided to have some fun. And being the great warrior he was, the hero. He gave his live in order to protect his family.
