Authors Note:
So I was a little confused on some of the tribe relationships so I actually read parts of the books and did research xD. Thanks for the reviews, they really help me(:
Enjoy
-xx
I change my clothes, take off my make up and sit on my window. This is probably my favorite spot in the house. It's a great thinking spot, except if you hear arguments from downstairs. I hear a wolf howl in the distance followed by nine distinctive separate howls. I didn't realize they had a lot of wolves here, I want to see one. I wonder if I can sneak out and find one. I grab a zip up hoodie because it's chilly out, put my shoes on and grab my keys. I sneak back out the kitchen and walk quietly to my car. I grab the emergency flashlight from the glove box then lock my doors. I shove my keys in my pocket and go in the woods. I turn on my flashlight and it practically lights up the whole forest. I hit the button again and it dies down a lot. It's a little scary here at night. There are so many things I can't see and yet I keep going. I hear another howl, it sounds close. Maybe if I make a wolf sound they will come. I draw in a deep breath and let out a howl that, in my opinion, is pretty convincing. I walk a little more and I step in a ditch. I shine the flashlight down and see it's not a ditch at all.
"Wow." I say, I'm actually in a paw print. A huge paw print in the ground, "Can wolves be this big? Can anything be this big?" I look at the direction of the paw and go in that direction. I howl again and start to hear distant thuds heading my way. "This is it." I smile. The thuds get louder, I hold my flashlight out and circle to try and see them. They start growling, I can't exactly see them, but one makes a quick snarl and they stop. Three wolves step forward, one's light grey, the other is a few different shades of deep brown and russet and the third is a sandy color almost like a Mexican wolf. They are huge! The biggest is the brown, the sandy one is slightly smaller than the brown one and they grey is the smallest of the three. The brown one steps towards me and I look up at him. I shakily reach my hand out and it lowers its head into my hand. Its fur is soft, not what I was expecting. I rub the side of its face and smile. The grey one starts growling, the sandy one growls back at it. A few barks escape their mouth, then the brown one jumps in. I jump back scared. It seems like they're talking, maybe arguing. I start hearing running again, this time it doesn't stop until it almost runs into me. This wolf is all black and snarling ferociously. It barks loud at me and I try to back up slowly. The brown one starts to growl at the black one. I keep backing away slowly and accidentally break a branch, their heads snap towards me. My breathing quickens and I turn to run away. I hit the button on the flashlight a few more times to make it the brightest it can go. It's a hell of a lot easier to see where I'm going. I still hear their growls, but I don't think they're chasing me. They would easily catch me if they wanted. A few more minutes of running and the trees start scattering.
"Yes!" I breathe out of breath once I make it out of the trees. I turn off the flashlight and keep running towards the house. I stand at the back door and look to my right towards the woods. The brown one is standing there looking at me, there's something shiny in his mouth. He howls once and I go inside. I lock the door and walk carefully upstairs. I fall backwards on my bed and catch my breath. I put my flashlight on the ground and take off my coat. I reach in my pocket to get my keys so I don't lose them, but they're not there. "Shit!" I frantically check all of my pockets and still can't find them. I smack myself a few times on the forehead, "Fuck!" I groan. I'll just have to go look in the morning.
The next morning I wake up to a knocking on the door. I roll out of bed and drag my feet downstairs.
"I got it." Sue tells me as she rushes to the door. She's already dressed and looks like she's been up for a while. She opens the door and Jacob's standing there.
"I found these and wanted to return them to Sveta." he says.
"How do you know they're mine?" I ask walking down the rest of the way and to the door.
"Well I was out for my usual morning run and I found these on the edge of the yard by the woods. I figured they were yours because of the type of car key on them."
"Oh, thanks." I say and he gives me the keys.
"Well I should get going; I have to pick up Bella soon."
"Right." I look down.
"Maybe I'll see you later."
"Sure." he keeps his lips closed, smiles and leaves. I close the door put my keys on the table and go in the kitchen. "You're up early." I say to Sue.
"I've been trying to get things ready for later."
"How can I help?"
"You really want to help?"
"Yeah. I could cook something if you'd like."
"You cook?"
"Yup." I smile.
"How would you feel about making the desserts?"
"Great. How many? Of what?"
"What ever you want."
"Do I need to go get ingredients?"
"Well I have a full stocked pantry, and more things in the basement."
"You keep your ingredients in the basement? Why do you have so much?"
"I own a little restaurant in town."
"You own a restaurant?"
"Yes. It's not that big so sometimes I keep a few things here."
"Wow, that's cool. Um do you have things for pies, fudge, even cheesecake?"
"I should." she smiles.
"Alright, I'll get my recipes and get to work. I hope I have enough time to do everything I want." I smile and run upstairs. I go though one of my bags and grab my note cards for cheesecake, three different fudges and a few different pies. I go back down and Emily's sitting at the kitchen table.
"I've cleaned the counters for you so you have enough space to work."
"Thanks." I smile.
I skim through her panty and everything downstairs to find what I need. I have to make a few trips to bring everything up. I start with the pie crusts, and then move to the fillings. A few hours later, after the pies are finished, I start the cheese cake. I whip together a nice crumbly buttery crust and start the filling. I make way too much crust so I end up making two. I put the cheesecakes in the freezer to quicken the firming process. Last, but not least I make the fudge! When all the cooking, baking, and freezing are done I finally sit down.
"I am exhausted!"
"It all smells so good! What did you make?" Sue asks.
"A cherry pie, french silk pie, strawberry pie, a cheesecake, a New York style cheesecake with raspberry drizzle, peanut butter fudge, chocolate fudge and a cookies and crème fudge."
"Wow! Impressive."
"I want to eat them so bad!" I laugh,
"Well party starts in an hour, go relax for a while then get ready and you can eat."
"Yeah I need a nap." I say and go upstairs. Before I get to my room I make a detour.
"Come in." Leah says after I knock on her door.
"Hi." I say opening the door a little. She nods and I walk in all the way. "I um, who's Bella?" I ask.
"Why are you worried about her?" she asks.
"It's just I thought Jake was interested in me, but I feel like he's into her."
"Trust me you're prettier than her. I don't know why he likes her."
"So he does like her?" she nods.
"Don't worry I've been down this road. I used to like Jake, not anymore though. He's more a brother to me."
"How do I win him over?"
"Just be you. You're definitely more exciting than she is, you'll see that tonight."
"What does she look like? Something nice to look at?"
"Not really. Tonight, if I were you, I would show off what I have. In a tasteful manor though." I laugh lightly. "Don't stress it, okay."
"Thanks Leah."
"Don't mention it." I smile, she smiles back and I leave closing the door behind me. I go in my room and Seth's waking up.
"Hey you're up." I smile.
"I smelled my mom cooking."
"That wasn't your mother, it was me."
"You? You can cook?"
"Mhm!"
"It smells amazing. Any chance you'll let your big brother sneak a taste?"
"Don't even think about it!" I laugh. "I need your opinion on something though. Stay here." I grab blue jean shorts, a black tank top and a blue and black plaid shit. I go in the bathroom and put it all on. The shorts sit a little low on my hips, showing my tattoo a little. My tank top stops short leaving a gap of bare skin between my shirt and my shorts. I put the plaid shirt on, roll up the sleeves and walk back to the room. "What do you think?"
"You need to put some clothes on." he says.
"Why? I happen to like this outfit, I feel Jacob will too."
"He's gonna like it too much. It's kinda scary, but I like it."
"What?" I ask squinting.
"Not that way, but if I was with a girl, that'd be nice for her to wear."
"That's creepy bro."
"Creepy enough for you to change?"
"No. you're only saying this to get me to change." I laugh. "I'll just go ask Leah!" I walk out and head back to Leah's room.
"That should make him forget about her." Leah says when she sees me. "An extra plus showing your tattoo." she laughs.
"So we have a winner?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks." I smile and go back to my room. I do a black and silver smokey eye, put on liquid eyeliner and then a few coats of mascara. I lay on my bed on my back so I don't mess up my make up, I don't do my hair yet. How did you sleep all day?"
"I was out late last night with the guys."
"Getting into trouble?"
"Nope, protecting the city!"
"Are you batman?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"No, I'm Wolverine." he laughs. This makes me think about last night.
"Hey let me ask you something, are wolves common out here?"
"Kinda, why?"
"I heard some last night, I went out looking for them-"
"What? Wolves are dangerous!"
"Don't worry I never found them." he looks at me funny.
"You never found them?"
"No…but I think I'll try again tonight."
"You shouldn't go looking for them."
"Are they big out here?"
"Yes, they can be."
"I'll be careful." he sighs. "You know people will be here soon, right?"
"What time is it?"
"Like four thirty."
"Shit, really?" he jumps up, grabs some clothes and leaves the room. The water in the bathroom turns on, I guess he's in the shower. I get up and go over to the mirror. I take out my ponytail, grab my spray bottle with water in it and wet my hair since the bathroom is occupied. My curls loosen and my hair becomes a lot longer. I put some styling crème and light spritz of hair spray on it to keep it long. I put on my shoes and go downstairs.
"So I brought the macaroni and cheese and pasta salad. Sam is at the store getting the hotdogs and buns." someone said in the kitchen. I walk in and Sue is in there with another woman.
"Hello." I smile.
"Hi." the stranger smiles. She's probably in her late twenties, early thirties, copper skin, black hair, brown eyes, and three unmistakable long scars on the right side of her face from her hairline to her chin. She's wearing a short sleeved shirt and I can see the scars extend down her right arm to her hand. I try not to stare so much, but I want to know her story.
"Emily, this is Svetlana. Sveta, this is Leah's cousin, Emily." Sue introduces us.
"Nice to meet you." I say.
"You too." she smiles looking me up and down. The end of one of her scars keeps the right corner of her mouth lower than the rest of it.
"Knock knock!" A man says walking through the front door. He walks in the kitchen and sets bags down on the table.
"Sam, meet Sveta." Emily says, he turns and looks at me.
"Hi." I smile.
"Wow." my face changes, "You look so much like your father." he chuckles.
"Sam is Emily's fiancé." sue tells me.
"Congratulations." I smile.
"Mom have you seen-" Leah asks jogging in the kitchen. She stops talking, without finishing her sentence, when she sees Emily and Sam. She turns around and goes back upstairs.
"I'm gonna go help her find whatever she needed." I smile and go after her.
"Are you okay?" I ask standing in her doorway.
"Get out!"
"Please. Okay I know we don't exactly get along, but we are part sisters-"
"Sam's my ex-boyfriend." she says cutting me off. "We were together in high school and then everything changed. He disappeared for two-weeks, then all of a sudden he comes back, breaks up with me and starts going after Emily. Emily and I are tribe cousins, she knew I was with him. At first she didn't say yes to him, but after she was attacked by a bear," she holds her hand like her fingers are claws and moves it down the right side of her face then arm, "they started dating. I've only been out of high school for like a year, it still hurts a little."
"I'm sorry. How do you do it? How do you see them knowing that, that should be you?"
She sniffs, "I run. You wouldn't believe how fast I can go, I can beat all the guys including Seth, Sam, even Jacob."
"Damn."
"Sometimes running doesn't always help. Then I just sit up here."
"You shouldn't be alone."
"Who am I going to talk to about this? My mother?"
"What about me?" she looks at me, "If you just give me a chance, I can help."
"I don't need help from you." she says changing her attitude. "I don't want help, I don't need help, and I don't need anything from you. Please get out."
"Fine." I walk downstairs slowly, and out the front door.
"Sveta!" Seth yells, "Come meet the guys!" yay more people. I walk down the steps and over by the cars.
"This is Embry, Quil, Paul, and Jared."
"How do you all know each other?"
"Embry is Sam's half-brother, Quil is Jacob's second cousin, Paul is a distant relative of Sam and Jared is also a second cousin of Jacob's."
"Wow, big families."
"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Paul asks me.
"I'm Sveta, Harry's daughter." they all look shocked.
"Harry had another kid?" Jared asks Quil.
"How old are you?" Paul asks.
"I'll be eighteen in a few days."
"So that means…" Embry started, Quil slapped his arm, I looked down.
"I see it now." Jared says. "You look like your dad a lot."
"So I've heard." I smile. A horn beeps and I see Jacob's truck pulling up. I start getting nervous, I can't tell if he's alone in the truck or not. He gets out and walks around to open the passenger door, shit! He walks over with a girl, it's the same girl I saw him with the other day when I went on my drive. Jacob talks with the guys for a minute then turns to me.
"You look great." he says giving me a hug.
"Thanks." I smile. "You must be Bella." I say when he lets go of me, she looks nervous like I'm going to rip her head off.
"And you must be Sveta, Jake's told me a lot about you."
"I can't say the same." I look her up and down thinking about what Leah said about her. She looks at Jake, he gives me a look.
"Just curious, but if this is a tribe family event, why are you here?" Paul snickers to himself.
"Sveta!" Seth says shocked.
"I like her." Paul says pointing to me.
"Just curious." I defend.
"The elders thought it would be nice for her to hear the family histories." Jacob says. "Anymore questions?" he asks a little mad.
I look at the guys, away from Jacob and Bella, and ask, "You guys hungry?" they smile and say a jumble of yes's. They follow me around the house and to the back yard, they go straight to the food.
[Jacob's P.O.V]
"She really is Leah's sister." Bella said as they were walking away, I know she heard her.
"Come on." we go to the back and greet everyone else.
"I'll be right back." Bella says and goes inside. I walk over to the guys.
"So that's the one you keep thinking about!" Embry smiles.
"Yup."
"I see why you like her, she's gorgeous. But dude, you're blowin' it!"
"How?"
"You showed up with Bella!"
"You had her waiting on you and you bring Bella?" Paul asks. I look over at Sveta, she laughing with Emily as a foot-long hot dog is put on her plate.
'It's so big!' I see her say to Emily.
"I bet she wore that outfit just for you." Embry says, I look at him, "Who wears that with family around? You can see her hips!"
"Calm down, she's mine!"
"Then you better make a move, and fast!" he smiles.
"She's my imprint!" I say low.
"Chill, I'm joking around!" he backs up a little. I walk over to her and Emily.
"Jake." Emily says.
"Em." I smile, she walks away.
"Where's your date?" she asks then takes a bite out of the hot dog. I wish I was that hot dog!
[Sveta's P.O.V]
"She's not my date." he says and stands a little closer to me. "How's your hot dog?"
"Good."
"You know, the resemblance is uncanny." he says and winks. I look down, hold my hot dog by the end and take it out of the bun.
"Skinny, flimsy and limp?" I ask dangling it in front of him.
"What? No!" I put it back on my bun and take a bite, "I meant in length, that it's delicious and filling." he smiles.
"Jacob black!" I say playfully.
He steps closer to me and leans down to whisper in my ear, "You should know better wearing something like this." he lightly runs his fingers over the tattoo on my hip, "it makes me want you." he whispers and stands back up. I take a deep breath, he smiles.
"You are unbelievable!"
"What?"
"What happened to what you said last night? Communication to a minimum? You're breaking your own rule."
"I can't help myself."
"Some one's looking for you." I say and nod towards the house, Bella's standing on the porch looking around. He smiles at me and walks away. I shake my head and look over at his friends, they're looking at me. They look away when they see me look back.
"Wanna help me bring out dessert?" Sue asks me.
"Sure." I smile. We walk past Jacob and Bella and I don't look at either. We put everything on a tray and I carry it to the table.
"Seth!" I yell for him to come over. He see's what I'm carrying and runs over smiling from ear to ear.
"I'll gladly help you." he says grabbing the pies and putting them on the table. After we set everything down, we bring out more plates, napkins and utensils.
"Alright everyone, dessert is served!" I smile taking the lids off of everything. Everyone walks over and I wonder if I made enough. I never realized how many people were here. Everyone grabs at least one thing, and 'Mmm's' come from everywhere.
"Emily it's delicious!" a woman says.
"I can't take credit. Sveta made all the dessert."
"You made this?" Leah asked about the dessert on her plate.
"Every little bit." I smile.
"Kudos."
"This pie! It's amazing!" Bella says and takes a bite of the french silk on her plate.
"Thank you." I grab a piece of fudge and find an empty seat.
The sun is setting and the lights to the backyard turn on. Jacob's standing with the guys on the porch. I walk over.
"So was it worth the wait Seth?" I ask him.
"Hell yes!" he says with a mouth full.
"Really everything was delicious! I tried some of everything." Embry says.
"Glad you enjoyed." I smile and go in the house.
"I gotta tell ya Jake, if a girl that looked like that and can cook like that was interested in me, I would jump at the opportunity to be with her!" one of them said outside.
"She has a boyfriend." he told them.
"She must not like him that much, we see the way she looks at you and responds to your touch. You react the same way with her. After the stories why don't you take Bella home, then come back and have some fun with Sveta!"
"Shit." someone else says. The kitchen door opens and Bella storms through mad.
"Bells wait!" Jake calls and goes after her, I follow.
"I'm just gonna go to the border and wait for Edward."
"Stop! The guys were just joking around!"
"She doesn't want me here either!" she says pointing to me.
"When did I say that?" I ask walking down the porch over to them.
"You didn't have to directly say it. I can tell." she says.
"Bella just stop." I say, she's surprised to hear me say her name, "Don't you need to hear the elder's stories?"
"I'll catch it on tape!" she says dripping with attitude.
"Fine, then leave." she storms off and heads up the road, Jacob starts to go after her.
"Where are you going?" I ask him.
"You couldn't just be nice to her! She's my friend Sveta, friend!"
"Every since you mentioned her you've been different. I know you love her."
"She's in love with some other guy though!"
"If she wasn't would you be trying to get her to love you? Would you be flirting with her now instead of me?"
"That's not fair!"
"Just go ahead after her, she's the one you want!"
"Don't be like that, you know you will always be my girl. I just really need to go get her right now."
"Do what you need to do." he runs in the direction she went.
The sun's completely set now, I go back through the house and see they've started a fire in the back yard. The guys and Leah are sitting around it on huge logs. I go over and take the empty seat between Seth and Paul.
"Where's Jake?" Seth asks.
"He went after her." I say looking at the flames. Seth puts his arm around me.
"What are these stories that are so important?"
"Just our tribe's histories. They should be starting soon. It might be kinda boring at first, but try to pay attention. If you listen closely, you'll understand."
"Understand what?" he looks at the fire. I look at everyone sitting around the fire, there's something about them. They look different in the firelight. A wolf howls in the distance, I look in the direction where it came.
"It's time." Paul says. Everyone came to the fire now. Billy wheeled over, the elders came over, I even saw Jacob and Bella start to come over. I can't remember the last time I was told a story fireside. They first started with basic history. For instance the Quileute's are descendants from wolves. Jacob's great grandfather, the chief, was Alpha, meaning Jacob should be Alpha now. Wait if they're descendants from wolves doesn't that mean they're werewolves or shape-shifters? The story continues about, 'the cold ones'. They're derived from an enemy clan of some sort. Billy won't say what they were though, he just says enemy and cold.
"Were you paying attention?" Seth asks me.
"Yes."
"Good."
After all the stories people grab one last nibble and make plates of food to take home. I say goodbye to everyone except Jacob and Bella. I never see them to get a chance to say goodbye. After everything is cleaned up, and everyone leaves we all go to our rooms. I change into sweats before Seth comes in.
"Where do you sneak off to every night?" I ask.
"I'm apart of the neighborhood watch."
"Every night?"
"Pretty much. There have been a few break-ins and I want to make sure my mom's restaurant is safe."
"Aww that's nice."
"If you'll excuse me, I only have two hours to sleep until I'm on duty."
"Sleep tight."
"Don't let the vampires bite."
"He used to tell me that little joke every night."
"Same here." he smiles then closes his eyes. I quietly grab my flashlight and creep downstairs. I put on my shoes and head for the woods. I turn on my flashlight and try to find my spot from last night. A branch breaks and some birds fly away chirping. I stop moving and try to listen. I spin left, shining the flashlight that direction, and the brown wolf from last night is there. It lifts its front right paw and covers its face from the flashlight; how cute!
"Sorry." I say and lower the light, its paw goes down. "Are you a boy?" it makes one quick bark, "I take that as a yes." he sits then lies down on his stomach. I walk closer to him slowly and rub between his eyes to the top of his head. "You're so soft." I say quietly. His eyes never leave my face. His eyes are a perfect light brown, just like Jacob's. "You're a very handsome wolf." he licks my cheek, I giggle. He curves his back inward, almost in a ball. I sit on the ground and lean against his side. I start rubbing his fur and he rests his head on his paw so he can still see me.
"You seem like a good listener." I say and his ears perk up. "I need someone to talk to and I know you won't tell anybody!" I smile. "My boyfriend David is a jerk. I honestly don't know why I ever said yes to him, I knew this would be hard. He promised we'd make it work somehow. I've only talked to him once, we fought, and not even a text after." I look down and he's still staring at me, listening intently. "And then there's Jacob." I smile blushing a little. "See, I light up just thinking about him. I can't stop smiling, and he's just as great a cuddler as you." he licks my hand this time. "I've only known him for about four days and I like him. He's in love with some one else though."
"Hmmm." he cries.
"I know, it's not fair. He flirts with me a lot and I love it, but when he's around her it's like I don't exist. He's never gonna get over Bella.I put on a special outfit for him, he seemed to like it, but then Bella showed up and he left me. She supposedly has a boyfriend though, I guess they're like madly in love." I sigh, "Maybe I'm overreacting. I mean it's not like we're together, right? He's an amazing kisser though!" he turns his head to look at me straight. "You can't tell anyone." I smile. "I need a name for you…hmm…how about vlk." he barks once. "It's Slovak for wolf. You know how I remember that? It's like hulk but instead of the 'h' you use a 'v' so 'vulk', and wolves are big and strong like the hulk." he lowers his head and closes his eyes. I kneel and go closer to his head. I give him a little kiss between his eyes and sit back looking at him, he stares back at me. "What do you think Vlk?" he lifts his head. "Should I keep trying with Jacob? Or let him be happy chasing Bella? Pick up your left paw for Bella…" he stares at me, "Pick up your right paw for me." he raises his right paw. "How are you even understanding me?" Billy's story from earlier popped in my mind about the shape-shifters. "Are you a shape shifter?" I accuse, his head snaps up. "I'm kidding." I smile and rub his paw. "Thanks for listening." I smile, his tail wags against the ground. A wolf howls in the distance and he hops up, "Bye Vlk." I smile, he howls then runs off. I walk back to the house and quietly up to the room. Seth isn't home anymore. My phone dings.
"Who the hell is texting me at midnight?" I sit on my bed and grab my phone. "Jacob?" I open the message.
I'm sorry about earlier.. It says. How did he know I'm awake?
It's fine.
No it's not. I treated you different, and I'm sorry. Forgive me?
Of course
(: on a side note, I know I told you earlier, but that outfit today…DAMN! ;)
I didn't think you liked it that much. You sure did run away fast when Bella came out of the house..
I needed to control myself in front of all those people, it wouldn't have been appropriate to throw you on the table and make out with you. I blush a little imagining it.
So you needed to look at her to calm you down? She doesn't turn you on the way I do?
No one does what you do to me baby ;) I don't even think YOU understand how much you entice me.
Why don't you tell me?
I'd much rather show you
Seth's not here and everyone else is asleep..
I know we just switched shifts. But I'd rather wait until after your birthday
Don't make empty suggestions Jacob Black
I would never baby. Speaking of your birthday, what do you want?
"Can't I just have you?" I say quietly.
Besides me(:
Okay how did he know that? Lucky guess.
Besides you…nothing
There has to be something else you want
Not really. I want to get to know you and have you all to myself with no other girls in the way.
You don't have to worry about Bella.
Promise?
I promise!
I wish I could kiss you right now
I've never been so frank with my feelings over text, I'm a little nervous for his response.
:-* its supposed to be a kissy face
You are too cute!
Well gorgeous, I have to get up for work soon, I'm gonna sleep for a while.
When I read 'gorgeous' I get butterflies.
Sorry I didn't know you worked I would have let you go a while ago.
I'm a chef at Sue's restaurant. Come for a bite tomorrow
I will(: Goodnight!
I plug in my phone to charge and go to sleep.
I must have tossed and turned a lot because I wake up at the foot of my bed. I wish I could say I had a sweet dream about Jacob, but I had a nightmare about Jacob. I hope Vlk is there tonight, I need to tell someone. Is it weird that I have a wolf friend that I talk to like he understands me? Okay when put into perspective it does sound weird, but who else do I have? Seth? No it's be awkward. Sue? Eh, maybe. My dad? NO WAY! Leah? Hell no! My only other option is Vlk.
"She has to realize it." Seth says, I turn my head and see him in Leah's doorway.
"She's blood, we can tell her. What if she has the gene? Before I turned, you didn't think girls could phase, maybe she's another exception!"
"Dad will do it, not us. We can talk to her after he's done."
"When is he gonna do it?"
"He said her birthday."
"What did you tell her about where we go at night?"
"Neighborhood watch."
"Good."
"Your doors always closed though, I don't think she knows you leave too."
"Even better."
"When are you gonna be nice to her?"
"I don't do nice, you should know that."
"Yeah, I know."
"Now get out I need to get dressed for work, you do too."
"Oh you're up." Seth says coming in the room.
"Yeah, just thinking about some things."
"Have you thought anymore about the stories from last night?"
"Yeah I actually had a nightmare about them."
"What was it?" he asks sitting on his bed facing me.
"Well I was at my birthday party and David shows up. We're dancing and having fun then all of a sudden he starts nibbling my neck. At first it's just playful, but then he bites hard! He starts sucking my blood and I realize he's a vampire, Jacob see's this and explodes into Vlk- uh, I mean a wolf. He's russet in color and has brown eyes. He attacks David, David bites him and Jacob phases back. Bella shows up out of no where and starts sewing up my neck. It hurts like hell, but I don't cry or scream. Jacob's laying on the floor groaning and crying from the pain. He was bit on his shoulder, you can see the bite starting to eat his skin away. It was as if acid was being pour on his, his skin and flesh just melted off his bones until he was just a skeleton." I explain slowly.
"Whoa." he sits next to me.
"You know that's not how it works right?"
"How what works? Are you saying he really is a wolf?"
"No, but if he were, he could easily kill the vampire."
"So you're saying werewolves and vampires do exist?"
"I think they do, but-"
"Seth." our dad says from the door. "Your mom's waiting for you at the diner."
"Crap I forgot!" he grabs his uniform and runs out the door.
"So what do you have planned for today?"
"Well I was gonna go to the diner, see if maybe she could use my help."
"That sounds fun. I'm going fishing with Billy, Bella's dad." just hearing her name makes me mad. "Oh and I wanted to let you know, I have a surprise for you for your birthday." he smiles.
"What is it?"
"All I can say is it's something you've wanted since you were a little girl."
"Oh my god, you bought me Channing Tatum?" I say excited. He laughs, gives me a kiss on the cheek and leaves. I put on blue jean shorts and a tribal tank top I bought once at a pow wow. I straighten my hair, braid two pieces and connect them in the back. I put on my turquoise necklace and my black converse. I look so Native American, one thing Bella doesn't have going for her. I put on some make up and drive down to the diner. I walk in and it's pretty busy.
"Sveta, hi!" Emily says behind the counter.
"Hey." I smile. "Is Sue around?"
"Kitchen." she says pouring coffee into a customer's cup. I see Leah taking a table's order, I follow the smell and sound of food cooking and find the kitchen.
"Hey guys." I say walking in.
"Yo!" Embry says.
"Hey!" Seth smiles.
"Wuz up!" Paul says and offers a high five, I take it. Jacob comes up to me smiling. He french kisses me for a few seconds.
"From last night." he says and makes a kissy face, I laugh.
"Heyo!" Quil yells from the back, he's cooking something.
"Where's Jared?"
"Bus boy, he's clearing a table."
"Man, you guys all work here?"
"Yup, family owned and run!" Sue says coming out of the cooler.
"Sveta go sit at a table on the left and tell Emily what you want to order. I'll make it for you." Jacob smiles.
"You better not poison me!"
"My love is poisonous enough." he winks. I roll my eyes smiling and go look for a seat.
