Okay, I'm really sorry for leaving you on a cliff hanger, one; I hate them too, but this one just worked. and two; I didn't actually think everyone would be so captivated to find out what happened next. For those that have become Sophie fans, the reason Sophie wasn't in the battle was because the vampire was after Cat only, you know the whole vengeance blinds you stuff. So that's why but, there will be more of her, I know I've accidentally favoured Cat but, I promise I didn't mean it, it was just because she found out everything first.
Third Person POV.
"Cat, what are you doing up? You should be resting" Emily worried when Cat walked in through the door
"Yeah, I'm alright Emily" Cat assured her
"But…" Emily began
"I thought Paul broke your ribs?" Kim asked confused
"It's a long story." Cat smiled as Sophie walked in behind her
"Sophie, are you alright?" Emily asked, remembering how worried she'd been
"Yes, I'm fine" Sophie smiled as the boys walking behind them. Jared went up to Kim and gave her a kiss while Sam embraced Emily, after the little moment everyone turned to the twins, the girls looked at each other before sighing
"What going on?" Kim wondered looking at them all
"Cat and Sophie have some explaining to do" Jared answered, the girls retreated to the living room where they collapsed onto the couch, everyone followed, Jacob and Embry sat closest to them
"Well?" Sam asked
"Well… I don't know where to begin…" Cat admitted, she looked at Sophie who nodded, both girls hadn't come to a conclusion on this part
"I thought you were going to tell us anyway?" Leah crossed her arms
"Yeah, but that was before you saw me ash that vamp" Cat answered, Kim gasped and Emily looked confused
"You did what?" Kim questioned
"She fought off a vampire" Seth answered
"How?" Kim asked confused, everyone looked at the twins again and so did Emily and Kim.
"Alright, can you ask us a question instead, cause I don't know what to start with" Sophie decided
"How is Cat alright so fast?" Emily blurted out
"Well, actually I've been fine since before the boys left to go after Victoria yesterday" Cat muttered
"What?" everyone asked
"In other words you aren't the only ones with fast healing bodies" Sophie added
"You heal fast? How is that possible?" Kim questioned, the girls looked at each other and sighed again
"We're elementals" she said simply, everyone was silent
"What?" Paul asked confused
"We control the elements, wind, water, fire and earth" Sophie elaborated
"How?" Leah questioned, both girls shrugged
"We don't know, only that we've been like this since our thirteenth birthday" Cat said
"That's why my temperature's so low and Cat's is so high" Sophie explained
"Fire" Cat pointed at herself "Ice" she said pointing to Sophie
"So…" Seth began
"I control Fire and Earth, while Sophie controls water and wind" Cat explained further
"That's why I like the beach so much, and water for that reason. And why Cat enjoys the sun and places more like Miami, it's also why she likes being in the forest to much" Sophie continued
"What does the forest have to do with anything?" Jared wondered
"We have… branches that allows us to do other things. I control the earth, the ground if you will, by extension of that I control nature, plants." Cat said, her hand on her chest
"I control wind, an extension of that is gravity, I control it" Sophie added
"But how did Cat heal so fast?" Emily asked
"I healed myself. While nature is an extension from the earth, I can also use lightning or electricity as an extension on my fire abilities. I use it to speed up my healing cells. Sophie can use her water to also heal herself" Cat answered
"Why are you only telling us now?" Seth wondered
"We didn't know how to tell you. I was scared to tell you at first, then I found out about your secret. I knew then I could tell you, but, I couldn't tell you without Sophie agreeing, and I couldn't do that without explaining why, which involved telling her your secret. When she found out, things just kept happening and we never got round to it, after I got hurt yesterday we knew we had to tell you. It was important, plus it wasn't fair, you trusted us, it was only right we told you in return" Cat answered, rambling a little
"See, unlike you guys, we've never told anyone before" Sophie said, emphasising the word 'never'. "You're the first people we've ever told, and that includes our parents, even they don't know about this" she said "It was kind of difficult for us to tell someone else. We're sorry." she apologised
"So this is why you accepted the secret so well" Kim realised, the girls nodded
"Wasn't exactly something new, different, but not new" Cat admitted
"And why you were never worried about being in the forest" Emily added
"And about having a vampire after you" Leah said
"And why you weren't worried about us being dangerous" Seth realised
"Hey, I'm not exactly safe myself" Cat confessed
"Got that right" Sophie muttered
"You can talk" Cat shot at her
"What do you mean?" Paul questioned
"Well, like you, our anger is a factor to include." Sophie began "When ever Cat get's angry, she bursts into flames and usually burns everything around her. That or she electrocutes everyone" Sophie explained
"You can talk, when ever Sophie get's angry her temperature lowers considerably and she ices everything around her, that and the oceans go mad!" Cat said
"Ouch" Jared muttered
"Yeah" the twins nodded
"Would the earthquakes have anything to do with you two?" Sam realised, Sophie crossed her arms and looked at Cat who looked away guiltily
"They do?!" Leah realised
"Well… when ever I get hurt, there's an earthquake, the bigger the quake the worse I'm hurt. Yesterdays was kind of small when my ribs broke, I'm not sure why seeing as the one today was huge when I dislocated my shoulder" Cat explained
"Which is how you knew she was in trouble" Emily said to Sophie, who nodded
"Is it the same the other way round?" Kim wondered
"When Sophie's hurt there's a hurricane" Cat said simply "Or at least terrible winds, the same applies, the more damage done to her, the more deadly the natural disaster is"
"But how?" Seth wondered, the girls sighed
"If only we knew" they said together. This whole time, Jacob and Embry hadn't said a word, they'd stayed silent and listened to the whole thing. You couldn't really blame them, they just found out their imprints weren't human and fragile, hell Cat just took down a leech and was now sitting here completely fine. Everyone sat down and there was silence while everyone comprehended what they'd just been told.
"Elementals?" Seth asked, the girls nodded
"At least we think so"
"What do you mean 'you think so'?" Jared wondered
"Well, we aren't one hundred percent sure, there isn't a lot of info on human elementals" Sophie admitted
"Human elementals?" Paul questioned
"Yeah, see there is a myth that represents each elemental, but there isn't anything on humans that wield this power" Cat explained
"What do you mean?" Leah questioned, Cat sighed and turned to Sophie who rolled her eyes
"Each element has something that's mean to use or represent it. For fire; it's a salamander, for water; a nymph or mermaid, for earth; a gnome and for wind; a sylph, or spirit of wind." Sophie explained "They are meant to be elementals."
"And you don't know much else?" Emily asked
"Well, we've researched and the only thing we've found that's close, is something called Nature's Angels, they are meant to be angels who are governed by the Archangels. They control the state of the earth and govern the elements and direct them to create what you see today or something" Cat explained
"Angels?" Kim repeated
"It's confusing" Cat huffed sitting back into the couch
"Otherwise, yeah, we don't know much else" Sophie shrugged
"Well, what can you do?" Kim grinned, intrigued
"A lot" the girls answered
"It's amazing the things we can do as an extension to being able to control the elements" Cat grinned
"Like what?" Kim pushed or answers, the girls thought
"I can control light" Cat said "Because fire is made up of heat and light. This allows me to be really fast, it's why nothing's ever beaten me, including my sister. I'm the fastest thing on earth" Cat boasted smirking
"Oh you think so?" Leah asked
"Speed of light, hunny, fastest thing ever" Cat grinned
"Our senses are incredibly heightened" Sophie shrugged "Kind of like all of yours, I guess"
"Though, somethings we can do better then the other" Cat added
"What do you mean?" Seth asked
"Well my eyesight it better then Sophie's because of my light powers, were as she can hear better then me cause she has the wind powers, she carries the sounds along the wind. Plus, sound travels fast too, like light but, not that fast" Cat explained
"In a simpler version, her eyesight is better than mine, but my hearing is better than her's" Sophie summed up
"We can fly" Cat added
"What?" everyone asked
"Yep, Sophie controls gravity so she can levitate things, including herself, and I control heat, so I can make myself as light as hot air, which everyone know's rises" Cat explained
"What about the rock thing?" Jared asked, Cat looked at him
"You mean the spears of diamonds?" Sophie wondered, everyone looked surprised
"Diamonds?"
"Yeah, don't you guys know a diamond when you see it?" Sophie questioned
"Diamonds are made out of carbon, carbon is an element found in the ground" Cat began, "It's a mineral, and minerals are part of the earth, so I can manipulate them to do what I want" she explained
"You guys know what the periodic table is right, it's something you learn in chemistry?" Sophie said, they nodded "She can control all the solid ones"
"And mercury" Cat piped up "Don't forget that one", Sophie rolled her eyes
"Were as I can control the gas ones, like helium and hydrogen, oxygen" she grinned
"Oxygen?" Jared asked
"Yeah, so in other words I could suck up all the oxygen and suffocate everyone with a click of my fingers" Sophie shrugged
"Yeah, cause that's not worrying" Cat muttered
"At least I'm not the one who spontaneously combusts things" Sophie turned to her, Cat shrugged
"Huh?" Paul questioned
"I can explode things" Cat simplified
"Seriously?" Seth questioned
"Yep, just heat them up really fast and bang, they explode" she grinned
"Awesome" Seth grinned
"I try" Cat smirked
"Together the two of us can control the weather too" Sophie remembered
"But, we like completely different kinds of weathers so we don't do it much" Cat grumbled
"That would explain why Sophie likes the rain more then Cat" Emily realised, the girls nodded
"And the snow" Cat added, Sophie rolled her eyes
"Oh" she realised
"What?" Cat asked
"There's something else, but we don't know what it has to to do with the element part" Sophie began
"Huh?" Cat questioned
"We can hear each others thoughts" Sophie said
"Oh" Cat understood "Yeah, that" she agreed nodded
"Each others?" Sam asked
"Well, we sometimes hear snippets of other peoples thoughts but, it's not strong nor is it controllable" Sophie said
"We can also block each other out, we have these mental shields. Which, by the way, also keeps Edward out of our heads" Cat explained
"That's the reason he doesn't know we know" Sophie added
"Or about us" Cat sighed
"So in other words, you have telepathy like we all do?" Leah asked, the girls nodded
"Isn't that annoying?" Jared wondered
"We can block each other out" Cat repeated
"It's a little complicated, but when we have out mental shields in place, we can't hear every thought that crosses each others minds, but if we can still hear the thoughts the other wants us to hear" Sophie tried to explain, they looked confused
"It's not important don't worry" Cat said waving it away
"Anything else?" Kim wondered
"We can understand animals" Cat shrugged
"Seriously?" Leah questioned, the girls nodded
"I understand mammals, or land animals, while Sophie understands sea creatures and birds" Cat said
"Cause they're connected to our elements" Sophie added
"How's that connected?" Seth wondered
"Who knows" the girls answered
"And then there's just the basics, I control water and wind, that's obvious and Cat fire and earth"
"Though I can heal things too" Cat said randomly
"Huh?" everyone questioned
"Well, my electricity powers allow me to heal people and then my nature abilities allows me to revive plants and then fire is not just destruction but also regeneration. Then Sophie can heal with her water powers cause there's water in everything" Cat said
"Which is how I knew how many bones she'd broken yesterday" Sophie admitted
"Jeez what can't you do?" Kim wondered
"Duplicate money" Cat shrugged, earning a laugh from everyone, well except the two boys sitting either side of them, they still hadn't said a word. "Oh, something else" Cat remembered "I can feel vibrations", everyone looked at her weirdly
"It's not as weird as it sounds" Sophie promised
"I can feel vibrations in the earth, so when you step on the ground, you make a heap of vibrations, every time you touch it you send vibrations through the ground, but even stationary things make vibrations, like rocks and trees. I could close my eyes and walk through the forest and I'd know where everything is just by standing on the ground" Cat explained
"I can't sneak up on her anymore" Sophie sighed
"What do you mean?" Emily wondered asking Sophie
"Well, everyone makes different types of vibrations, it's kind of like a finger print, the way you walk, the amount of pressure you put on the earth when you walk. The amount of pressure you put on each part of your foot, your heal and the ball of your foot, your weight has an impact too. You guys for example, even the vibrations you make when you're in your wolf form are only slightly altered to that when you're human" Cat said
"That's how you were able to guess which one was which when you first found out" Emily realised, Cat nodded
"Sounds like you got the better end of the deal, Sophie you haven't told us much" Jared admitted
"That's because mine applies to air and water, were as Cat's is the ground, we're not in the water, or in the air like we touch the ground" Sophie shrugged "But I can use wind to find people, it makes contact with something and I can feel it kind of like Cat feels the vibrations. I can feel things swimming through the ocean and flying through the air. I can breath underwater and I don't run out of air easily, in fact neither of us do, we have very high staminas. I can control a person's body by controlling the water in their body, but that's kind of weird so I don't do it. I can move through solid objects by controlling the water in me, it changes me from a solid to a liquid, kind of. I can freeze things so hard they explode, kind of like Cat's combustion. I can create illusions by controlling air molecules, I can become invisible, but we can both do that in our own ways." Sophie listed thinking
"She can create anything out of ice and it wont melt, not only that but her ice is hard enough to pierce a vampire, it's really hard" Cat said emphasising her words.
"It's just solid" Sophie shrugged
"Wow, you weren't joking when you said you could do a lot" Kim muttered
"We're also really strong too" Cat nodded
"Because the earth and ice are very solid, so basically, so are we" Sophie expanded
"That explains how Cat wasn't harmed when she was first attacked" Sam realised, the girls nodded
"But then why did it happen the next time?" Jared questioned
"Sometimes we're lucky, sometimes we're not. Though when I was attacked the first time, she didn't really make contact with any bones" Cat reminded them. A few of them nodded, and others just sat and processed everything. Cat finally glanced up at Jacob, he immediately diverted his eyes, Cat frowned and looked away, she knew this wouldn't be good.
"I need to talk to him, alone" she knew. Sophie didn't risk it but, she could see Embry fiddling with his fingers from the corner of her eye.
"Do you think we created a problem?" Sophie wondered
"I know I have one" Cat mumbled quietly
"I'm sure it will work out, imprint remember" Sophie remembered
"That wont stop him from being angry with me. I know I have a lot of explaining to do later" Cat dreaded
"Today's all about explanations" Sophie mentally sighed. The silence turned into a uncomfortable one, no one spoke and hardly anyone looked at one another as they went through what had been discovered.
"How awesome would if be if you were angels?" Kim suddenly spoke, causing everyone to look at her, a few to jump as the silence came to an end. The girls grinned
"Would be pretty cool" Sophie agreed
"Best part is that we'd stop ageing at some point" Cat grinned
"So unfair, that means you would be outlived by Jacob and Embry" Kim complained
"Speaking of which, you two haven't said anything?" Emily noticed, they looked away from her. Everyone glanced at the twins who shared a worried look. Emily stood up and tapped Sam's shoulder, everyone else stood up after Sam did and they left the living room to go to the kitchen. The four of them sat in silence as Sam ordered the patrols to begin again
"I don't really want to talk here where I know they can listen" Sophie admitted
"I agree, wanna see if you'll leave with us?" Cat asked
"Sure, I'll head to the beach" Sophie decided
"I'll just wonder shall I" Cat muttered, she stood up and turned to Jacob "Walk with me?" she offered, Jacob looked up at her before she gave a sweet smile and began to walk out, Jacob got up and followed her.
"Come on, we should go too" Sophie said softly, Embry thought about that, the voices from the other room caused him to agree and the four of them left the house, the girls waved to Emily who mouthed 'good luck' to them before they walked in separate directions. Sophie towards First Beach, while Cat leaned against a tree for a while. Jacob eventually walked past her and deeper into the forest, she followed.
Sophie's POV.
"Can you at least say something so that I know what exactly is bothering you?" I asked after a while of silence, the ground underfoot had turned from dirt to sand as we got closer, the sound of the waves filled the air. I could feel Embry's eyes on my back, so I knew he was at least watching me and acknowledging me. The ocean came into sight and I walked half way towards it, stopping on the sand and holding my hair from my face as the wind blew around me. I heard Embry stop and turned to look at him
"Why?" he finally said
"Why?" I looked at him confused "Why what?" I questioned
"Why didn't you tell me?" he expanded
"I didn't get the time, I found out about you what, a week, week and a half or something. Then there was Victoria and you were all running patrol or sleeping… I didn't get the chance" I explained "How many times have Cat and I said this now?"
"There were lots of opportunities" Embry disagreed with me
"No there wasn't. It may have seemed like it, but really all the times we could have said something, something else got in the way or we were talking about something completely different or, we just couldn't" I rambled
"What do you mean, 'couldn't'?" Embry asked, we were arguing now, I knew this wasn't going to be an easy conversation but I had hoped we wouldn't end up arguing.
"We've said it twice, we've never told anyone this, we've never had to explain it, list everything we can do. Talk to someone who doesn't completely understand, it was easy for Cat and I to tell each other cause we could read each others minds but to tell others…" I took a deep breath "It's easier for you guys, you've been telling the imprints for generations, you've had practice, you've had help, Cat and I, we're on our own. No one explained this to us, no one helped us through it, no one could understand and no one could know or, who knows what would have happened. You all have each other, sure Cat and I had each other, but we were as clueless as the other. You have the elders, the legends, you don't actually understand how difficult it was for us, and then we had to try and tell someone else? It was scary alright, no matter whether you guys fit into the unnatural world or not" I ended my rambling, I was a little upset, admitting all that. I took a deep breath and looked away from Embry, I did see him frown a little from the corner of my eye though.
"Sophie" I turned to him as he stepped towards me and took my hands, his warm gentle hands held mine perfectly, they just fit into one another like two puzzle pieces. He looked down at me as he rubbed his thumbs over the back of my hands "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was so difficult for you. I don't know what you've been through, or how you coped with it, and I'm sorry, I guess I didn't understand how complicated and worrying it really was for you" he said softly, I sighed and shook my head
"I'm sorry, sorry it took me so long… took us so long" I corrected "We thought about it all day yesterday after Paul hit Cat, wondering how to tell you, Cat's little episode didn't help. We wanted to sit down and tell you all calmly, we didn't want to tell you like that" I admitted "I'm really sorry, Embry" I said sincerely, he smiled down at me
"It's alright, sorry for snapping at you" he said, I shrugged
"I kind of deserved it" I confessed "But there is an upside to all this" I grinned
"What?" he asked
"I'm not fragile or easily hurt, you don't need to worry about me as much" I explained, he grinned
"That doesn't matter, I'll still worry about you. You're my imprint, I can't help it" Embry reminded me, I sighed
"I know, but at least I don't worry you to much" I smiled "So does this mean you forgive me then? You're not mad at me?"
"I couldn't ever stay mad at you, you're the reason I live, I can't help but smile when you're near me" Embry said
"Almost sounds like a burden" I confessed
"Sorry about that" Embry muttered, I shook my head again
"I don't mind" I promised "Just reminds me that I'm tied to you forever, if you don't mind me hanging around for the rest of your life" I grinned
"I wouldn't have it any other way" he smiled
"I thought you'd say that" I muttered, we fell into a few seconds of silence as I looked into his eyes, and he looked back down at mine. Then everything happened so suddenly, he leaned down and his hot lips were against mine, I automatically kissed him back and my mind went blank, I didn't think, everything just melted away. He had one of his hands behind my neck and the other was on my back as he pulled me closer to him. I could feel the heat radiating off his body, and I liked it. His tongue glided along my bottom lip and I opened my mouth to grant him access. I didn't even comprehend what happened, all I knew was that I liked it and I didn't want it to stop.
Cat's POV.
We'd ended up at the cliff jumping sight. I don't know how we got here, I guess Jacob was walking blindly while he thought, I'd even wondered if he knew I was even with him. I was sitting with my legs hanging over the cliff, Jacob was sitting next to me, we still hadn't said anything. I heard as Jacob took a deep breath in and waited, not sure if he'd yell at me angrily or be upset that I hadn't trusted him
"Thirteen?" he said, I looked at him confused for a second before I realised what he meant, I looked back at the ocean
"Thirteen" I confirmed with a little nod
"So ever since I met you on the beach…" he began, I frowned upset
"I'm still the same person, just, with a little more" I promised
"How do I know that?" he asked finally looking at me
"Because I don't lie about who I am, I enjoy walking through the forest, I like the run, I like speed, I like animals. I lived in Miami, I'm good at chemistry, biology and physics. My favourite car is a Lamborghini. My sister is both my best friend and the person I can always go to for everything. But then I met you, and now I have two people who are really important to me. I found my soulmate, and he liked the way I was, and although I kept a part of myself from him, I didn't lie about who I was. I had full intentions on telling you, and once I found about the pack, I had full intentions to tell them too. But it was more difficult then I thought, and so many things kept getting in the way, not only that but for some reason I kept getting this feeling that wouldn't let me tell you all yet. Until yesterday, when we decided we had to tell you, it was important and I couldn't hid it from you anymore." I said seriously
"You still kept it from me" he said upset
"Well at least I didn't cut you out in order to do so" I spat but I didn't mean it, I frowned and looked away, we sat in silence before I stood up "I'm really sorry Jake. I never wanted to lie to you and I never wanted to hurt you either, but at least I was prepared to tell you before you actually found out. It's not like I intended to keep it from you forever" I said, I turned around and walked back through the trees. A pain grew in my chest and I felt tears run down my cheeks, I hoped Sophie was having much more luck then me, because this was, in all honesty, the worst day of my life.
Jacob POV.
"What is wrong with me?", I didn't look at her as she left, but I immediately felt guilty and sorry. I knew I had upset her and I was upset she hadn't trusted me enough to tell me sooner, but I also knew she was right. She hadn't let it rule her life, she hadn't pushed everyone away in order to keep the secret. Cat had tried to live as normally as possible, and she did a great job at it, she accepted this part of herself, embraced it even, where as mine, I saw as a curse.
"I'm such a hypocrite." I muttered, I was upset she hadn't told me, but at least she made an effort to. Sure I had wanted to tell her, but I guess they were all words and no action, I'd never actually made the move to ask Sam.
"Though I guess I didn't have much time to before she actually found out" I remembered.
"…but at least I was prepared to tell you before you actually found out. It's not like I intended to keep it from you forever", her words echoed in my head. That was true, she and Sophie had called a meeting and everything, they wanted to give it a shot and tell someone their unbelievable secret, for the first time since they got it.
"I'm still the same person, just, with a little more", how could I have doubted that? If anything knowing her secret explains a lot about her, if she had been lying she wouldn't fit in with the firey personality. But this fits her perfectly, why she likes the woods, why she is so bold and strong all the time. Why she wasn't worried about having a leech after she, she just had to ash it in a second
"And yet, I doubted her" I should have known better, Cat's my imprint, and yet, I upset her, she walked away and I let her. This was wrong, I shouldn't have acted like that, like an idiot. I stood up and immediately followed my imprint down the hill, I couldn't leave things like this. It wasn't right, I had been such a prick, it wasn't her fault, I should have given her time.
"We of all people should understand." It wasn't easy to tell her about the imprinting, but she had sat and waited till I was ready. "Why didn't I do the same?" I was angry at myself now, but my mind was set on finding Cat, her scent was fresh so at least she hadn't run off. If what she had said was true, then I might not be able to catch her. I heard someone sniffling from up ahead and Cat's scent became stronger
"She's crying" I felt awful, there was an indescribable pain in my chest, like someone had ripped my heart out, but worse. Her golden hair came into view and I all but ran at her, she turned around before I had even reached her, her eyes were red and her beautiful blue eyes were all watery, tears were rolling down her cheeks. I immediately pulled to towards me, crashing my lips down on hers. She was stunned for a minute before she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me back. We eventually broke apart and she looked up at me
"I'm so sorry Cat. I was being such a prick and I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you, I knew it was hard to tell you about the imprinting thing before and yet I didn't consider it might have been difficult for you as well" I rambled to her "I don't know how, but can you forgive me?" I questioned, she looked at me, almost surprised before she suddenly kissed me again.
"I'm the one who's sorry." she said once we pulled apart "Sorry for not telling you sooner, and I'm sorry if you think I lied to you about everything, but I'd never do that" she babbled, I stopped her by kissing her yet again, I could never get enough of her kisses.
"Stop apologising." I ordered
"Only if you do" she smiled, any pain I had all melted away at that smiled and I couldn't help but smile back
"Deal" I promised, she kissed me for a fourth time, but this time just a sweet short one before I pulled her into a hug and held her for ages.
"Shall we head back then? I'm worried as to how Sophie and Embry got on" she said, I loosened my grip on her and she looked up at me
"I'm sure they're fine" I promised "But we should get back before everyone worries." She nodded in agreement before a huge grin suddenly formed on her face, I raised my eyebrow as she had a mischievous look on her face.
"What?" I asked
"I have a favour to ask" she said slowly, I looked at her and waited "Can you race back to Emily's house?" she grinned, I sighed
"Do I stand a chance?" I wondered
"I'll slow down" she begged, I couldn't deny her when she looked like that
"As you wish" I agreed, she made a face
"You make me sound like your master. Don't" she said, I grinned at her and planted a kiss on her cheek before I went off to phase.
Third Person POV.
Jacob came out of the trees in his wolf form, his russet fur gleamed in the little sun there was. His clothes were in his mouth and Cat held out her hand, he let them go and she went around and tied them to his back leg. The wolves were careful and somehow managed not to get their clothes soaked in saliva. She walked back to his head
"Now, I'll tell you this now. Sometimes Soph and I are able to hear the thoughts of others, like Edward, though it doesn't alway work" Cat warned, Jacob raised one of his eyebrows "I know it's confusing, but my whole life is confusing" Cat admitted, she should next to Jacob "So, ready?" she asked, Jacob nodded
"Yes" he thought
"I promise to go easy on you" Cat grinned "Ready… set… GO!" both of them shot off, Cat was in front though, her speed of light giving her the edge, but she didn't use her full speed, she was about ten to fifteen meters in front of Jacob, just enough to stay ahead, but also to stay in his sights.
Jacob POV.
Being the fastest out of the whole pack had it's perks, but it seemed that I still wasn't fast enough to keep up with my imprint. I watched her as she ran, she looked absolutely gorgeous, perfect and she just looked like she belonged, which technically she did. I watched as Cat never stumbled, never tripped, never missed a beat, she just ran, her hair trailing behind her, the wind blowing through it as she did. She did a flip over a log in her way and I saw the wide smile on her face as she looked at me before landing back on the dirt and spinning around to run off again. I jumped the log not long after her as we got closer to Emily's house. I saw Cat's head turn to the side and she slowed down a little, she turned to me while still running
"Can we make a detour?" she asked
"To where?" I thought, she grinned, I raised an eyebrow, she nodded
"I heard you" she explained "To the beach, my sister's still there with Embry" she explained
"Sure" she grinned wider and sped up her pace as she diverted to the left.
Cat's POV.
It felt great just to run, to run and not have to worry about anyone finding out, anyone seeing me. Vampires didn't count, the cullens didn't come down here, the pack now knew and humans never walked through here anymore after the amount of killings that have happened. It was great to feel the ground under my feet, the wind through my hair and the trees around me. I didn't know what it was, I mean I'd run through here before. I guess it was because Jacob was with me now, for the first time I didn't have to hid anything from him, it was all out in the open, and it felt fantastic. This was the first time I'd ever felt so free, so open, so myself. In Miami I had to hide. At home I had to hide. In the forest I had to hide. But now, I had a place were I could be completely open with myself, I could outrun all the wolves, I could loose my temper and not have to worry about keeping my temperature down, sure I didn't want to go over the top, but now I didn't have to worry to much. I could run, I could fly, I didn't have to worry about Jacob being so overprotective. Everything felt so much better, the burden of this secret had been lifted off my shoulders, for the first time since I told Sophie and realised I wasn't alone. It was amazing.
"I should have told them all before, this is wonderful." I couldn't help but grin as I ran. I did a flip over a log and looked at Jacob for that second, the grin spread over my entire face. I landed again and continued to run, I wasn't wearing out, I wasn't panting, I wasn't even sore or tired yet. I felt water on the sand, felt it crash onto the ground, wash over it all as it descended back into the sea just to come crashing back down on the shore. It wasn't long until I felt my sister and Embry's vibrations through the soil, I turned my head and slowed down a little. I had to see her smile too, to feel the weightlessness I felt, I turned to face Jacob a little
"Can we make a detour?" I wondered
"To where?" he thought, I grinned, it had worked, which was great cause it would be awful if I couldn't right now. He raised an eyebrow at me, seeing the grin on my face, I nodded
"I heard you" I explained "To the beach, my sister's still there with Embry" I answered his question
"Sure" he agreed, he might had shrugged if he was in his human form, or standing still. I grinned wider and beamed, I sped up and ran faster, running to my left as I headed towards the couple. I wanted to know if she was alright, them being together still meant they were either still talking about it, arguing, or he hadn't acted like Jacob had and they were completely happy with one another. Either way I wanted to know, wanted Sophie to run with me, I wanted to jump through the trees, sure racing Jacob was fun but I wasn't putting my all into it, at least Sophie almost stood a chance against me. Plus I wanted everyone to know exactly how fast I really was, you couldn't see the light when it travelled, you just saw it once it arrived so everyone just knew it was fast. It took eight minutes for the sun light to reach the Earth, so if the sun exploded, we wouldn't know for a whole eight minutes. And we haven't even been able to send anyone to Mars which was only ten years travel time away, let alone the sun that was ages away, like a life time ages. I always wondered if anyone could see me when I ran at my fullest, I was never around anyone when I did it because I just lost them too quickly. The sand appeared below my feet and I exited the trees, I couldn't feel anyone else around the beach today, well not between me and Sophie and no one was around Sophie either.
"I'm going ahead alright" I said, knowing Jake would hear me, I knew he had to stop and phase anyway. I ran straight out of the trees and had my hands on my sisters shoulders within the second. I saw Embry blinking and then looking at me surprised
"Hey!" I grinned, Sophie rolled her eyes
"Great, now we aren't going to be able to stop you from using your powers" she almost cursed
"So?" I shrugged grinning, she sighed.
Embry's POV.
I blinked and suddenly Cat was behind Sophie, her hands on her sister's shoulders grinning. I looked around, I couldn't see Jacob around yet, but then he was probably phasing back.
"Hey!" Cat grinned, she sounded happy and almost hyper, I saw Sophie roll her eyes
"Great, now we aren't going to be able to stop you from using your powers" she almost cursed, I then realised what happened, Cat had the power of light, which allowed her to run fast. They'd obviously been running through the forest
"So?" Cat shrugged grinning, Sophie sighed and shook her head at her sister. "So how'd it go?" Cat wondered
"All good" Sophie grinned up at me and I smiled back
"Didn't have any problems?" Cat wondered, I shook my head and so did Sophie "Well you did better then we did" she muttered, I raised an eyebrow just as Jacob appeared behind her, picked her up and spinning her around
"That was mean, leaving me behind like that" he scolded, she laughed
"I'm sorry, maybe if you could keep up I wouldn't have needed too" she admitted
"I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings and beat you" Jacob grinned, she looked up at him shocked
"You mean you didn't give it your all?" she sounded shocked, Jacob shrugged, Cat removed his arms from around her and hit his arm "That's not cool, a race is a race you have to at least try" she said annoyed
"You didn't" he reminded her
"If I gave it my all I would have been here within the second, you would still be at the cliff base" she crossed her arms
"You raced him here?" Sophie asked, Cat nodded "What is with you and races?" she questioned her sister
"They're fun. I like them" Cat said simply
"Cause you always win" Sophie reminded her, Cat just shrugged.
"Dude, you should see her run" Jacob told me, I raised an eyebrow and looked at her, she just grinned
"So we were heading back." Cat informed us "You've got to come for a run Sophie, I don't know what it was but it was amazing just to run"
"What do you mean?" Sophie wondered
"I don't know, but it just felt… great" Cat said
"Well, if you insist" Sophie gave in. Cat beamed
"Come on" Cat said to all of us "Before they start freaking out" she rolled her eyes and took her sister's hand
"If Sophie runs anything like her sister, you're gonna want to see it" Jacob admitted, I looked at him and he just nodded. We went after the girls and they stood a little ways off as we phased. As soon as that happened I saw what had happened between Jacob and Cat and knew what she meant when she said that we did better then they did. Jacob frowned, hearing my thoughts, I knew then that he thought he was an idiot because of it
"I am an idiot" he said
"Hey, I might not have caused her to cry but I was just as surprised and disappointed as you were" I confessed remembering
"But you weren't a prick" he thought plainly,
"I almost made her cry" I confessed
"But that's almost, plus you didn't let her walk off and cry" he continued, I didn't have much of an answer for that as we walked out and saw the girls. Cat beamed, for some reason she was just in a good mood now
"You should have seen her while she was running" Jacob thought, the memory flashing across his mind, she truly did look happy, like a kid at christmas
"Not really" Jacob disagreed, I just shrugged "It was more like she was at peace, like it was the first time she'd enjoyed herself in a while." he corrected, I could agree with that
"Come on" Cat pulled her sisters arm
"Calm down Cat, we have time" she answered, yanking her arm away before Cat pulled it off. With herself free, Sophie suddenly sped off through the trees
"Hey!" Cat called and was immediately gone and after her. Jacob and I sped forwards, following the twins scents. They were a fair way ahead of us and Jacob was right, they looked so peaceful and happy. Instead of ruining the picture, they somehow worked with it, adding the thing that was missing from the painting. They just worked, even with their blonde hair and bright clothes. Sophie looked amazing, she wasn't as graceful in the current surroundings as her sister was but I guessed that had something to do with the element thing. She just looked… like an angel. The wind blew through her, it like she was a part of her, instead of blowing on her and pushing against her, it worked with her. I saw the peaceful smile on her face a few times as the two girls ran ahead of us side by side. Cat had caught up with her twin easily but only ran about a centimetre in front, not showing off but enjoying it. It didn't take us long to get to the house, less then two minutes in fact, but it seemed to go on forever.
Third Person POV.
Cat ran straight into the kitchen and sat down, it wasn't until she leaned on the table that anyone noticed she'd even arrived, the conversation suddenly stopped and they all looked at her. Sophie came in then and sat down next to her sister, surprising everyone with the speed she entered with. They both grinned but the silence continued
"I suggest you get used to it, it's gonna happen a lot now" Cat finally said as the two boys walked in
"Those two, are fast" Embry pointed, Cat grinned
"Which is how she snuck in on you" Sophie added
"You weren't bad yourself" Jacob complimented, Sophie shrugged
"I'm better in water, or in the air" she confessed
"You looked amazing" Embry complimented, Sophie smiled sweetly, Cat looked at the two before she gasped and stood up looking at the two. Sophie blushed and bowed her head, hiding her face as her sister pointed between the two before she grinned and started silently cheering.
"What?" Kim wondered, Cat walked around and whispered in her ear and then Kim gasped and grinned while Sophie banged her forehead on the table.
"It's not nice to gossip Cat" she scolded
"Come on, it's not that bad" Cat grinned
"For you" she muttered
"What did we miss?" Jared wondered, Cat opened her mouth but Sophie clicked her fingers and block of ice appeared in her mouth. Cat glared at her as it melted quickly but she didn't say anything. Everyone raised and eyebrow while Kim whispered into Emily's ear who smiled
"I'm gonna make some muffins" she decided winking at Sophie who huffed.
"Should have put my shields up" she admitted
"I would have found out eventually" Cat said, Sophie just ignored her and looked up at Embry who shrugged with a grin. Jacob looked at Cat who gave him an 'I'll tell you later' look and he nodded before sitting down
"So I'm guessing we're all good?" Kim asked
"One hundred percent" Cat beamed holding her thumb up
"Awesome!" Kim cheered "Cause I'm really interested to see some of the things you can do" she admitted
"Some of them are cooler then others, and some are kind of dangerous" Cat admitted
"Especially Cat seeing as she doesn't really know what careful is. So we'll let her get better at her aim first" Sophie insulted
"You aren't much better" Cat shot
"I don't care, it sounds so cool" Kim said excitedly
"Well we'll show you a few things then, eventually" Sophie decided
"Eventually?" Jared butt in
"Well, you don't wanna see it now, I mean you've just gotten back to your normal shifts. If it was me I'd be going home to sleep for the next… forever" Cat admitted
"You do that anyway" Sophie said
"Do not. Only when the suns asleep" Cat disagreed
"And when it's awake" Sophie added
"No, when it's behind the clouds" Cat corrected
"Which is always" Jared grinned
"Exactly" Cat nodded. Sophie rolled her eyes and sent a glare in Jared's direction for helping her sister, he just winked at her and smirked as the conversation began to build up again. Cat and Sophie shared a glance before smiling, today had ended on a good note
"Luckily" Sophie said
"Now we just need to worry about the Cullens" Cat remembered
"Shouldn't be too difficult" Sophie grinned, Cat shrugged but silently agreed with her before they were pulled into the conversation, it seemed that everything just fell back to normal, like nothing had changed.
