The next day they drove to school in Sophie's car. Sophie loved the feel of the wind on her face, she had forgotten all about Bella's little rebel thing yesterday. Cat on the other hand was still worrying about it, she had a really bad feeling about all this. Sophie pulled into the car park and turned the engine off, she got out of the car but when she turned around, Cat was still sitting there
"Cat" Sophie called, she didn't respond
"Cat" Sophie said again, she walked around the car to the passenger seat "CAT!" she yelled, Cat jumped
"What?" she asked
"We're here" Sophie pointed out, Cat looked around the car park
"Oh, ok" she got her stuff and got out of the car
"Jeez, what were you zoning out for?" Sophie asked
"I was worried, I have a bad feeling" Cat admitted
"About what?" Sophie questioned
"Bella" Cat sighed "Even with her depressed state she isn't the type to jump on a random idiots bike like that, it's weird"
"Well maybe if we asked her what she 'wanted to see' we might understand" Sophie suggested
"Oh, yeah, right, she's totally going to tell us. She wont even spill about the Cullens" Cat rolled her eyes
"What are you talking about?" Sophie asked confused
"Come on, as if you haven't noticed it, when ever she talks about the Cullens she's always hesitating, like she's hiding something, she isn't a very good liar if you hadn't noticed" Cat explained
"True, and yes I have noticed but it's not hers to share, she might know the secret, but that doesn't mean she had permission to tell others" Sophie reminded her
"Come on, it can't be that bad" Cat groaned
"Well imagine if you told someone our secret and they went and told someone else, you wouldn't be very happy about it would you" Sophie pointed out
"No, but our secret is completely different…" Cat started
"How do you know?" Sophie cut across her "If elemental's exist, who knows what else does"
"You're always going on about this, the thought that fairies might be real, or angels" Cat sighed
"Come on Cat, we can control the elements, there could be others like us or there could be something else, I'm just saying" Sophie made sure no one was in earshot before talking about the subject
"Then how come we haven't come across anything?" Cat asked "We attract trouble, you would have thought we might have run into something"
"We did, remember our first day here" Sophie brightened up "That red headed girl?" Cat sighed,
"We don't know what was up with her"
"Exactly, she ran super fast, she was SO pale, and come on you said there was something off about her. Not only that but no one is that pretty" Sophie reminded her "And you admitted we had moved to an unnatural town" Cat sighed, there wasn't much point arguing with Sophie when she's positive she's right, though Cat never wanted to give her that satisfaction.
"Then what do you think she is? Someone that's so pale she looks dead, someone who runs as fast as the wind, someone who's absolutely beautiful and in the middle of no where?" Cat asked
"I don't know, I wasn't able to do any research yet" Sophie sighed, that was when her face became very determined "That's it, when we get home I am going to research this!" she decided
"When you get home, I'm not sure if you remember, but I am meant to be going over to Jake's tonight, tutoring him in something" Cat reminded her
"It would help if you knew" Sophie rolled her eyes
"Well, I don't need anything but paper to help, and he has that" Cat reminded her
"Still" Sophie muttered. They walked into their english class to see Bella sitting in her usual seat, Cat and Sophie sat on either side of her
"Hey Bells" Cat greeted
"Hey" Bella greeted, she smiled at them
"You seem a little happier, even after last night" Sophie reminded her, Bella sighed
"Sorry about that"
"That's alright, but still what's got you in such a good mood?" the girls asked
"Oh, nothing" Bella shrugged, the teacher walking in then and the girls weren't able to push Bella for answers. The day went by and Bella's mood only got a little better, the girls had noticed that she was happier when she was around others and not alone. The days blurred into weeks, and over those weeks Bella's mood had only improved, but while Bella got better Cat seemed to get a little more silent, Sophie hadn't asked why yet but she had noticed that Cat was going out a lot less now.
The girls were driving home, it was raining, so Sophie had the roof on her car. Cat was staring out the window, not saying a word, not only that, but she had blocked Sophie out of her head.
"Alright, what's wrong, you've been getting more and more… lonely" Sophie asked annoyed, Cat glanced at her and shook her head. Sophie snapped, she stomped on the break and pulled over off the road, Cat looked at her like she was mad, she wasn't worried about crashing because the car would receive all the damage, Cat was more surprised at the fact that Sophie had treated her car like that.
"What the hell is wrong?" Sophie burst, turning in her seat to face her sister
"Nothing" Cat looked back out the window
"No it's not nothing, you lock yourself in your room, you block me out all together, you hardly speak anymore, you're turning into Bella!" Sophie blurted out, Cat looked at her surprised, she wasn't turning into Bella… was she? "Tell me what happened, you hardly even leave the house anymore" Sophie added. Cat looked down at her hands and sighed
"Jacob asked me to stop tutoring him, and every time I call round or even go round he says he's busy and he can't talk to me, he's cutting me out, he wont talk to me anymore" Cat shrugged
"He stopped talking to you?" Sophie asked confused, she had gotten the feeling that he liked Cat. Cat nodded
"It's like he doesn't want to see me anymore, or talk to me" Cat sighed, Sophie leaned across and hugged her sister
"I'm sure he's just a little busy, nothing more" Sophie soothed "Just give him some time"
"It's been two weeks Soph, he's had time, he just doesn't want anything to do with me anymore" Cat let a tear go, she had liked spending time with Jacob, she liked him heaps, he made her laugh and she enjoyed being with him.
"What could you have done to make him want that?" Sophie asked, she didn't like Jacob very much right now
"I don't know, maybe he found someone better" Cat muttered
"Don't say that!" Sophie instructed "He's the one who's missing out, it's his loss"
"Then why am I the one hurting?" Cat asked, Sophie didn't have an answer, they sat in the car for a few more minutes before Sophie pulled away from her sister and started the car back up, driving back home. They arrived home and walked into the house, it was surprisingly empty
"I wonder where mum and dad are" Sophie muttered, Cat shrugged and walked past her to the kitchen
"Alright, let's call him, I want to know what's going on" Sophie instructed
"No, I don't want to" Cat muttered
"I don't care" Sophie sighed, she took Cat's phone and pressed the speed dial button and it dialled Jacob's number
"Sophie" Cat gasped she reached for her phone, but Sophie made herself levitate into the air to get away. Unfortunately Cat made her body like hot air, which, as everyone knows, rises. The two girls were flying all around the house, Cat chasing Sophie because she still had her phone
"Give me back my phone!" Cat ordered
"Not until you call him" Sophie laughed
"Give it back!" Cat was on the edge of singeing her twins hair. Cat chased Sophie around for about an hour before they heard a car enter the driveway, the two girls landed back on the ground. Cat took this chance and snatched her phone from Sophie's hand, she grabbed her things and rushed upstairs to her room
"Oh god, this can only get worse before it gets better" Sophie muttered. A few weeks past and Cat's situation didn't get better, she called Jacob up every now and then but he always said he was busy, sometimes he didn't even answer the phone, he just got Billy to relay a message. At first Cat was upset about this, but after sitting at a lunch table with Bella one day, those feelings changed.
"So, what are you doing on the weekend Bella?" Sophie asked
"Oh, nothing much, Jake and I are planning on going to a dirt track" Bella grinned
"Dirt track?" Sophie asked confused
"Yeah," Bella started, her eyes darted around like she was making sure no one was listening "I saved these motorcycles from the junkyard and I asked Jake to help me fix them" Bella explained
"When?" Sophie questioned
"A few weeks ago, after I went to the movies with Jessica" Bella looked guilty now
"So after getting on some junkies bike you went and got your own?" Sophie sighed when Bella nodded. Cat had just been staring at Bella, her usual blue eyes were slowly turning orange and the tips of her hair was warming up the spot on her back where they sat. Jacob had stopped talking and seeing her because of Bella, he was spending time with Bella and pushing Cat away, he replaced her with Bella. Cat got up and walked over to the doors not saying anything, she ignored her sisters mental and physical calls and walked outside. Cat wasn't sad anymore, she was angry. She could not believe that Jacob would replace her, sure he had known Bella longer but he didn't have to spend every wakening minute with her, he could at least see her sometimes. Cat headed straight for the forest, she didn't care about ditching school, she cared about getting away for a few hours. Cat walking into the forest, but instead of feeling calm like she expected she still felt bad, Cat felt a cold hand on her arm and turned to see her sister
"Where are you going?" Sophie asked
"I'm just going for a walk" Cat ground her teeth
"Why?" Sophie asked "What's gotten you so railed up?"
"He stopped talking and seeing me because he was to busy spending time with her!" Cat blurted out, Sophie was silent for a while before she understood, she couldn't think of what to say. "He decided she was better and he cut me out" Cat continued, her anger was fuming, but was now being mixed with the sadness again.
"Come on Cat, it seems like it's helping Bella" Sophie said, that pushed Cat over the edge, her own sister was siding against her. Cat's hair bursted into flames and her eyes turned crimson red
"Really?! You're on her side?!" Cat asked pissed
"That's not what I meant" Sophie argued
"Sure sounded like it" Cat fumed
"Bella has been through a lot, and she finally starts to show emotion and get better and you are going to stop that?!" Sophie asked
"So you care about Bella more then your own sister" Cat snapped
"I do not! I just don't understand why you're so angry because he is trying to help her!" Sophie snapped back
"By cutting me out all together, he can't even pick up the phone and say hi for two minutes because of her" Cat half shouted, Sophie stared at her for a few minutes before it hit her
"You like him!" she realised, Cat blushed and her hair went back to normal and her eyes went back to blue. Cat didn't say anything
"You really like him don't you" Sophie said softer
"I don't know, he's funny, and nice and amazing and I like being with him" Cat admitted
"You do like him" Sophie grinned
"Shut up" Cat spat
"Ok, now I understand why you're so jealous" Sophie sighed
"I'm not jealous" Cat immediately answered "Just angry, and upset"
"That he's with Bella instead of you" Sophie added "That's jealously"
"What ever" Cat mumbled as she turned around to walk back towards home
"Where are you going now?" Sophie asked
"Away, just cause I talked to you does not mean I'm any happier" Cat answered as she waved over her back
"Well thanks" Sophie muttered as she turned back towards the school, she knew there was no point in arguing with Cat about going back to school, not only that but no one would actually notice she was missing, except maybe Bella.
Cat's POV.
I walked, and walked, and walked some more, I wasn't exactly heading home, but I wasn't lost either. I wasn't bothered with where I ended up, I just wanted to keep going. I was slowly starting to feel better, the trees around me and the ground below my feet made me feel calmer, more at peace. I walked for about an hour before I came to an open field, it was on the edge of the forest and on one side was a cliff. I walked over, my sharp ears picking up the sound of a water fall, sure enough there was one opposite the cliff, I took a deep breath and sat down
"This would be the most perfect spot for both Sophie and I if it was sunny" I thought. I sat there near the edge of the cliff and closed my eyes, listening to everything within range, which, with my ears, was pretty far. I heard a howl not far off followed by the sound of thundering paws on the soil beneath, the vibrations were so big that I could feel them from my position at the cliff. There were about four sets of paws, so four wolves, but then there was something I had felt before, but only once, those weird, huge, light, swift vibrations made by that pale girl Sophie and I had seen on our first day in Forks. I placed my hands on the ground and let my senses connect with the forest, allowing me to see any part of it. I found the vibrations' source, it was the same girl as last time, she had pale, marble like skin and flaming red hair. She was really pretty, but there was something about her that I didn't like, that made me weary of her. That was when I noticed her eyes, there were scarlet red, a beautiful but scary colour. They compromised with her hair so well, even though they weren't the same colour. I watched her run, she had cat like traits and manoeuvres, she was like nothing I had ever seen before. After taking in every bit of her I noticed the wolves she was running from, they were huge! I mean they were like two or three meters tall, one was jet black and in the lead, another was a silver grey colour, another was grey with black spots and the last was a medium brown colour. They were beautiful animals to look at, but I wasn't sure if I felt frightened or in danger when I saw them, unlike the girl. The next thing I noticed was how fast they were running, Soph and I had seen the girl run before but we weren't sure whether it was possible or not, now seeing these wolves chase her at almost the same speed I was absolutely sure that it was real. The wolves were growling and snapping their jaws at the girl, that was when I realised that they were chasing her. Now I'm very confused, why would animals chase a human, then again I have never seen a human with red eyes and skin that pale. I sighed, this chase just went on and on and as I watched I realised that they were no where near me, they were headed for Portland, south of Forks.
"What is with this town?" I thought "Then again I'm not exactly normal, guess we fit in just right here… how typical" They reached the Portland boarder and the girl ran straight across, but the wolves stopped as though they were about to run into a fence. They walked up and down the imaginary line while the girl just ran away
"Coward" I couldn't help but think. The four wolves started looking around at one another like they were having a conversation, eventually they all turned around and came back, going straight to the LaPush forest. I was about to keep watching cause I had gotten very interested in them when my phone went off, distracting me and causing me to loose my concentration. I pulled my phone from my pocket and answered the call
"What do you want?" I said annoyed
"Jeez, what did I interrupt?" Sophie asked
"I was having some relaxing, quiet time" I ground my teeth
"Well sorry, but Mum was wondering where you were?" Sophie was expecting an answer. I checked my watch and realised school had ended a while ago.
"Alright, I'm on my way" I muttered before hanging up the phone. I stared at the water fall opposite me, the beautiful scenery below me was, well, beautiful, in fact the entire view from my little meadow was beautiful, like nothing I had ever seen before. There were trees for miles, everywhere, a stream or lake here and there, a waterfall or two, the town of Forks in the distance, the beach of LaPush opposite it. I breathed in and the wind blew through my hair, the scent of the sea, sand, trees, soil, animals and water was overwhelming, but such a wonderful smell. I sighed and turned around heading back towards home, allowing the forest to lead me to where I wanted to end up, home. On my way I noticed a paw print, it was huge, I looked around and noticed that the wolves had run through here when coming back. My eyes widened at the size of the paw, I know those wolves were big, but damn. I made the soil cover the print so that no one would have any chance of finding it, I did the same with the others on either side of me. I headed back towards home, I wasn't sure why I was covering for these wolves, it might have been because I have a thing for animals, thanks to my earth and nature abilities. Sophie had the same but with birds and sea creatures, we can even understand those creatures connected with our powers of any sort. I'm still surprised with the things we could do as an extension from being able to control the elements. I walked out onto our driveway and headed up it towards the house, that was when I remembered why I left in the first place, Jake had replaced me, ditched me, casted me away for Bella, I didn't matter to him, I was just a toy, one that he got bored of and threw into the toy box to be forgotten. My eyes filled with tears and they spilled over my lids, I couldn't hold it in anymore, I fell to the ground and cried, I just cried and cried and cried. Eventually I felt cold arms wrap around me and knew my sister had heard my break down. Eventually I felt Sophie's arms get colder and colder, I looked up at her through my tear filled eyes, Sophie's eyes were a cold, icy, scary blue and her hair actually looked frozen. It was so cold that it was smoking, it also had that whitish blue colour to it instead of being bleach blonde. See while my eyes turn red and my hair turns to flames when I'm angry, Sophie's does the opposite, her eyes turn ice blue and her hair freezes so cold that your hand freezes just by touching it. I was the only one so far who wasn't effected by Sophie when she was like this, the same for her when I got angry.
"It's ok Sophie" I whispered, wiping my tears away "I'll be alright"
"No, it's not alright" Sophie said plainly, but the harsh, coldness in her voice could be heard, it was scary enough to freeze you from the inside. "He shouldn't be treating you like this"
"He doesn't know" I muttered
"That does not give him the right to just replace you like that after getting so close to you" Sophie lectured, I looked away from her and noticed that some of the tree's near by had frozen from Sophie's rage. I sighed, she was trying so hard to keep it in, though that only made it worse.
"Soph, you're freezing my tree's" I pointed out softly, Sophie's temperature rose a little
"Oh, sorry" she muttered, she let me go and looked around, I placed the tip of my finger on the ground and sent a small wave of heat through the ground, the ice immediately cracked and fell away from the tree's. It melted within the minute, not even leaving a puddle behind
"You don't need to worry Sophie, I can take care of myself remember" I knew I had a bit of a frown on my face as I stood up
"I know, but he still shouldn't be allowed to do that to you" Sophie reminded me, standing next to me
"I know, but don't worry, I'll be fine" I smiled at her, Sophie hesitated before sighing and nodding, we went back inside and watched TV together for the rest of the afternoon.
