YAY! I got another chapter up before my Exams! Thank you MaryHorse1 for wishing me good luck for my exams, I may need it. I have just over a week to go and I'm secretly beginning to procrastinate…
A beeping noise was coming from somewhere around Cat's pillows. Her eyes were closed as the sun was only just getting up, her hand slid around on her sheets as she felt for the source of the beeping. She finally found it and opened one of her eyes a tiny bit to answer it before slumping back into her pillows and putting the phone to her ear. Today was Thursday, three days after Jacob's visit to the school and since Cat's total overreaction.
"What the hell is your problem? It is way to early" she slurred down the phone
"Good morning to you too" Jacob chuckled
"Make it quick before I can't go back to sleep" Cat scolded
"You have to get up for school anyway" Jacob reminded her
"So? That's like an hour away or something" Cat groaned annoyed "So what is so important you woke me-" she was cut off
"Quil got the fever" Jacob informed her
"A fever? But I saw him yesterday and he was perfectly…" Cat shot up into a sitting position completely surprised "OH MY GOD YOU MEAN THAT FEVER!" Cat realised
"Yeah, last night some time" Jacob answered. Sophie opened the door and looked at Cat both annoyed and confused
"What the hell are you shouting for?" she asked annoyed "And what the hell are you, of all people, doing awake this early?"
"Quil got the wolf fever!" Cat pointed to her phone at her ear. Sophie gasped and was immediately next to Cat on her bed
"Does this mean he's not gonna be left out anymore?" she asked taking Cat's phone
"Yeah. We're gonna explain after he phases. His granddad called my dad last night so I had to tell Sam" Jacob explained
"Oh my god, we're totally coming!" Cat decided
"You have school" Jacob reminded her
"So? One day off can't hurt" Cat shrugged
"It can when finals are coming up extremely soon. Graduation is only so far off" Sophie disagreed
"Let's not think about that yet" Cat waved her off
"We don't need another incident like last time. Come after school" Jacob decided
"But he would have phased and been told everything by then" Cat whined
"Exactly" Jacob agreed. Cat glared at the phone
"Alright. Just do us a little favour…" Sophie began
"Sure?" Jacob wondered
"Don't tell him about us-" she began
"No don't say that cause then we'll have to explain all over again and it was such a pain the first time" Cat groaned
"Alright. Let Sam decide if he wants to tell Quil himself or not" Sophie corrected
"No problem" Jacob grinned.
"Bye, we'll see you later" Cat smiled taking the phone back
"Alright. Have a fun day at school" he teased
"Shut up" Cat hung up the phone and flopped down onto her bed, Sophie raised her eyebrow before her sister groaned "Now I'm too awake to go back to sleep" she complained
"Well, that just means more time to get ready" Sophie shrugged before she yawned and left the room.
The day passed slowly for the girls. They sat through their periods and Cat was hardly paying attention, Sophie was doing a little better but also wasn't as motivated as normal. At the end of the day they drove towards Emily's house. They didn't perk up until the small house came into the view. Cat was in through the door the second the car stopped she looking into the living room to see the entire pack there, including Quil. He looked at her a little surprised before she beamed
"Quil!" she grinned and ran towards him pulling him into a hug "This is great! This is great! This is awesome! Finally!"
"Cat?" he questioned, she looked at him for a second before turning to glare at everyone else
"Alright. Who didn't tell him I knew?" she asked
"Maybe they didn't get around to it?" Sophie suggested walking in
"When did he phase?" Cat immediately asked
"Around lunch time" Jared answered
"They've had plenty of time!" Cat snapped at her sister who rolled her eyes
"You mean you know?" Quil questioned, Cat leaned to Jacob who was sitting behind her
"Have you gotten to the imprinting part?" she whispered, not being very subtile about it. Jacob nodded "I'm Jake's imprint" Cat immediately said grinning at Quil, Quil looked surprised
"Didn't you tell him that?" Sophie wondered
"Don't you dare say it didn't seem important" Cat shot
"Of course it's important" Embry said
"Well did you tell him you imprinted too?" Cat wondered, Embry just looked away "I take that as a no"
"Who did Embry imprint on?" Quil wondered
"Sophie" Cat said plainly pointing at her twin. Quil raised his eyebrow. "I know right" Cat grinned knowing he was thinking it was ironic both twins were imprinted on
"And being imprints allows us to know the secret" Sophie said sitting down on Embry's lap. Everyone knew about their little moment now. Cat had told the girls and the boys had found out through the telepathy link. They weren't embarrassed or 'secret' about it anymore, but it wasn't officially official yet.
"Not that we wouldn't figure it out anyway" Cat said under her breath
"Cat, wolf, awesome hearing" Quil reminded her
"I know" Cat nodded
"So…" Quil asked her to elaborate
"Well…" she began thinking
"The twins aren't normal" Jared jumped. Quil looked at him confused
"Alright seeing as Jared knows everything, why don't you explain?" Cat offered
"They're like these elemental things" he said
"Things?" Sophie raised an eyebrow
"This elemental thing could easily ash your ass" Cat reminded him
"Elemental thing?" Quil questioned
"Elemental" Cat corrected
"It means we can control the elements" Sophie shrugged "Water, wind, earth, fire" Quil looked at them surprised. Cat raised her hand and a little flame danced in her palm, Quil looked amazed
"How the…" he began
"We don't know" Cat shrugged "It's annoying" the flame disappeared and she lowered her hand, leaning back on Jacob
"They do all sorts of things." Seth began
"But we haven't really seen any of it yet" Leah reminded her brother
"They only found out on the weekend" Sophie explained
"We were going to have a little show this weekend and show them some of the stuff we can do" Cat grinned. Quil just looked at the two twins, they sighed
"Yeah we know" they chorused, knowing how confusing the subject was. They spent maybe the next hour or so explaining to Quil about the twins. The rest of the pack confirmed a few things as well. It was a little easier to explain the second time around compared to the first.
"How long have you known Cat?" Quil wondered, Cat frowned
"A while" she confessed
"Is this how you knew I wouldn't cut you out?" he asked, she nodded.
"Sorry Quil. I wasn't allowed to tell you" she sighed, Quil grinned and nodded
"I'm surprised to find out you're not so human either though"
"Hey, I'm more human then all of you" Cat defended. Sophie grinned and nodded, everyone else just rolled their eyes.
"Oh I'm really excited!" Cat skipped into her twin's room. Sophie was still lying asleep covered in her blankets. Cat stopped and looked at her annoyed, she walked up to the bed and climbed up, sitting on her sister
"Oi! Sophia Mitchell get up now! We have a display to put on!" she said jumped up and down and shaking her sister
"Go away" Sophie mumbled, she waved her hand and her gravity powers activated, pulling Cat off the bed and to the floor with a thump. Cat glared at the roof and touched the edge of the bed, she sent a jolt of electricity through it
"Ouch! Catherine!" Sophie sat up after being electrocuted
"Now, we're even" Cat answered sitting up
"I can't do anything against your electricity" Sophie defended
"And I can't do anything about your gravity" Cat said back "Now. Not that you remembered, obviously, but we promised we'd show the pack some of the things we can do"
"That's not till later" Sophie slumped back into her pillows
"Sophie. I'm up before you, I'm the one waking you up, not the other way around. Do you have any idea what time it is?" Sophie opened one of her eyes and looked at the clock, she groaned before getting back up again, this time climbing out of the blankets and shuffling over to her on-suit. Cat just lay on the floor with her legs up the side of the bed before he sister came out and walked into her wardrobe
"So, can we run. I really wanna show everyone how fast I can go" Cat said while waiting for her sister
"Well we have to show them what we can do, might as well show them as much as possible" Sophie called from the other side of the door
"You know it might be kind of awkward. Them watching us" Cat realised
"Well, maybe we should pretend they're not there" Sophie said
"How?" Cat wondered
"I don't know." Sophie said walking out of the wardrobe fully dressed. They weren't wearing anything fancy because they were about to burn and freeze it all. Cat stood up and the two of them walked down the stairs. Their parents had gone out together for the day so the house was empty.
"We are going to Emily's house right?" Sophie clarified
"I don't know where else we would go" Cat confessed
"What if they're not all there?" Sophie wondered
"Well they know we're doing this today…" Cat reminded her, Sophie sighed, she knew this was a waste of a conversation. The girls locked the house before they ran through the trees towards Emily's house. Cat grinned as they jumped over the fallen logs and ran over the undergrowth of the forest. They arrived at Emily's house and ran in to find everyone there, Sam, Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, Leah, Seth, Emily, even Kim. Cat's face fell, realising Jacob was the only one missing
"Where's Jake?" Sophie wondered
"He's on his way" Embry grinned at her and she smiled back
"He's gonna miss my awesome performance" Cat sulked
"We'll play it for him" Quil grinned
"Not the same" Cat sighed, she then smiled "So who wants to see how dangerous this girl really is?", everyone laughed, Cat scowled at her "You wont be laughing later" she assured them.
"I'm bursting to let off some steam, so let's go!" Sophie decided
"Where?" Quil wondered, the girls thought for a second before grinning and turning to one another
"I know the perfect place!" they said in sync
"Well, guess that answers your question" Embry grinned to Quil
"Should we wait for Jake?" Jared wondered
"He can always follow our scents" Sophie reminded them
"I'm sure he'll be fine. It's his loss, he's the one who's missing out" Cat said turning around and leaving the room, everyone shared a look. Cat was a little upset he wasn't here too, but she couldn't do much about it. They all filed out of the house
"Right! The first thing we're gonna show you is that we're faster then you guys" Cat said, she spoke as though she was talking to a class
"You're on Blaze" Leah grinned standing next to her, Cat grinned at the nickname
"Alright, but you asked for it" she said
"Two minutes" Sophie allowed before the three girls walked into the trees. Leah broke off and phased before joining the girls near some trees before they were joined by the six boys, all in their wolf forms.
"We're gonna have a race. If someone can beat us than…" Cat stopped and thought "Than I don't know what, you're just super awesome because it's impossible" she grinned
"Don't worry about where we're going, you wont be able to beat Cat so you just need to follow her" Sophie rolled her eyes as her sister grinned with pride
"And because of that…" Cat walked through the mass of wolves and stood behind them all "… I will give you all a two minute head start" she offered, some of the wolves shook their heads at her. Sophie rolled her eyes, she knew that it didn't matter how much of a head start she gave them, Cat would still win. Leah grinned a wolfish grin, the only person who could beat her was Jacob, a two minute head start was more then enough.
"Alright, because I am staying behind I get to call it" Cat said excitedly, she raised her hand and pointed her finger upwards. An orb of light appeared above her finger floating in the air, it was red.
"Ready" she said "Set" the light orb turned yellow "GO!" the orb of light turned green and shone brightly. Sophie and Leah were gone the second Cat opened her mouth. Everyone else was a little surprised by the light but shot off not a second later. Cat grinned as they all disappeared from her vision and she began to count two minutes slowly in her head.
Sophie was in front of everyone, Leah was hot on her tail followed by Embry, Jared, Quil, Paul and Seth. Sam was among them too but he wasn't really getting into the whole race idea, he was coming to see what the girls were really capable off. Sophie was counting the two minutes in her head like her sister was, she knew the second they were up, Cat would be in front of her and everyone else. She hit the end of two minutes and Cat was in front of her by about a centimetre, grinning. Leah growled a little and Cat just grinned, Sophie guessed that a lot of the wolves would be a little confused but they had told them over and over again that Cat had the power of light, including it's speed. It didn't take them long to reach the meadow where Cat and Sophie had been practicing. The girls skidded to a halt and the wolves were panting a little behind them.
"Even putting in your all, you couldn't beat us" Cat gloated
"Cat" Sophie scolded, Leah came walked out of the trees in her human form
"Jeez, you didn't even wait" she accused Cat
"I did"
"She did" the twins chorused
"I am literally that fast. You guys know it takes sun light 8 minutes to get from the sun to the earth and it's like ages away… I already told you this…" she realised "Anyway, it's really fast, the fastest thing EVER!" she emphasised, Embry, Quil, Seth and Jared turned and phased before coming back out again
"Damn, you really are fast" Jared admitted
"I only went my fastest to catch up with you all. When I was running in front of you, that wasn't even close to how fast I can go" Cat explained
"How come you're not all worn out?" Leah wondered
"High stamina" the girls shrugged
"I control oxygen because it's the air, so I have a huge lung capacity so I don't get as tired as easily." Sophie said
"I can use my electricity to stimulate my nerves so I don't get worn out or sore or anything like that. Plus electricity is energy so I just have a lot of it" Cat explained
"And the light thingy?" Jared wondered
"My light orb?" Cat asked creating another one "I control light" she said obviously "Doesn't matter what colour it is, light is light"
"We can turn ourselves invisible too" Sophie grinned, "Cat obviously controls the light, and I can create illusions by controlling the particles in the air. Make you see something that isn't real."
"You gonna show us?" Embry wondered as Paul and Sam finally phased back. The girls grinned and shared a look before they both just disappeared. They boys and Leah looked around for a while, their ears betrayed them and they couldn't hear the girls walking along the crisp grass. Their noses did also as the wind was blowing the wrong way, probably because of Sophie, for them to be able to smell their scents. Their was silence before Embry jumped and everyone looked at him just in time to see Sophie appear with her hands around his waist. Quil did the same and Cat was on his back, piggy-back style
"Woah, we couldn't even hear you" Leah confessed
"Wouldn't be as awesome if you could" Cat admitted, she jumped off Quil's back "So, what would you all like to see?"
"Everything?" Seth grinned, Cat thought
"Now how can we…" she began
"I got an idea" Sophie grinned, Cat looked at her confused
"What?"
"Let's have a sparing match" she suggested, Cat raised an eyebrow
"You sure? You never really liked those"
"So? I really wanna give it a try, we've been practicing after all" Sophie confessed
"Alright" Cat shrugged, she walked towards the middle of the meadow, tying her hair up as she did. Sophie went to follow but, Embry grabbed her wrist, worried. Sophie looked at him confused
"Are you sure this is safe?" he asked, Sophie rolled her eyes
"Cat know's what I can take from her, we have something to counteract everything we throw at each other. We used to do this all the time when we were back in Miami, and that was when we were new to all of this and a complete disaster at control" she grinned and Embry let her go, trusting her but, still a little on edge.
"Just what ever you do, do not get between us!" Cat said, she was completely serious, knowing they wouldn't be able to handle any magic type hits. Sophie skipped off into the middle of the meadow with her sister and also tied her hair up, out of the way. They stood facing one another for a while, each waiting for the other to begin. They blocked each other out of their minds, that way they didn't know what the other was about to do, it made it more interesting. The stand off went for a while and of course Cat was the one to crack from her lack of patients. The ground began to shake and several roots grew out of the ground around Sophie, they had thorns on them. They launched at Sophie who moved gracefully as she avoided them. She waved her arms around and water suddenly emerged out of the roots, causing the roots to crumbled and became dried and dehydrated. Sophie faced her sister and the water froze into daggers, the ends very sharp. The daggers shot off at Cat who raised her arm out to her side, a tornado of fire rose up around her, blowing her hair around. The ice daggers evaporated into steam the second they collided with the tornado of flames. Cat held her palm out, facing Sophie, and several beams of fire left the tornado and shot towards her twin. Sophie did a handstand out of the way, the water in the grass followed her hand as she stood up. Sophie sent a beam of water at one of the incoming fire beams, they became a heap of steam that clouded the twins vision of one another. Cat had the advantage here, using the vibrations to know where her sister was. Cat ran through the steam and lashed at her sister who did a flip backwards as Cat hit the ground under her, creating a small crater. Sophie clicked her fingers after landing and Cat began to levitate off the ground as Sophie removed the gravity from around her. Cat raised her hands and a huge ball of fire appeared above her, she threw it at her sister who luckily dodged, though the grass erupted into flames. The distraction was enough and Cat fell back down and landed on her feet on the ground. Cat raised her hand again and a small ball of light appeared at her finger tip, it shot at Sophie as a laser. A wall of water appeared in front of Sophie and it froze solid, the light bounced straight back off and Cat leaned to the side as to avoid it, though she could have just dispersed it, instead. Sophie swung her arm around and what looked like a blade of wind shot off at Cat, Sophie did that over and over again, forcing Cat to dodge the wind blows. Cat jumped up and fell straight through the ground as though it was water, Sophie stopped and waited, looking around and standing still. She felt the wind connect with her sister and spun around just in time to see several boulders shot at her. Sophie raised her hand and a heap of wind blew, creating a pressurised barrier in front of her, the boulders collided with it and crumbled into pieces. However when Sophie looked for her sister she was missing again. Sophie took a deep breath and concentrated, she knew her sister's tricks better then anyone. Sophie ducked and kicked her foot backwards, causing her sister to topple over the top of her, before Cat became visible again. Cat banged her fist on the ground and Sophie was suddenly pushed up into the air as a stump rose hard and fast out of the ground. Sophie hovered as her sister stood up, she raised her hand and Cat was surrounded by water, the water turned into a sphere and raised off the ground with Cat inside. Cat struggled, trying to find a way out, but it was useless; off the ground she couldn't do much. Her fire wasn't enough to evaporate the water on it's own either. Cat thought. She had been avoiding using her electricity powers because Sophie couldn't counteract it with anything, air couldn't do anything to protect her, water was a conductor, gravity wouldn't help and neither could ice. It was dangerous and Sophie couldn't protect herself against it well, maybe except for a wind barrier but it wouldn't last long. Cat closed her eyes and her body heat began to rise rapidly, the water began to bubble and steam as Cat continued to raise her temperature. It didn't take long for all the water to evaporate away. Cat held up her hand and a fire ball appeared, just before she was about to throw it at her sister, it disappeared. Cat tried again but it just went straight out. Cat thought for a second and then realised, Sophie was taking the oxygen away from her flames, without oxygen the fire couldn't be fuelled. Cat held her hand in front of her and concentrated hard, another flame appeared, though this time it looked more like the sun then fire. Cat was using something called Cosmic fire, it was the kind of fire the sun was made out of and it didn't need oxygen to burn. It was also very hot, as the sun is. Sophie's expression widened as she realised what it was and moved out of the way when her sister threw the miniature sun at her. This fire ball, however, was different from others, it was like a locked on missile and it turned around to chase Sophie. Sophie didn't run, she raised a very thick wall of water, the fire crashed into it and was slowly doused. The steam cloud was huge and Sophie lowered back on the ground to get out of it, the second she touched the ground the was tied up in heaps of plants, this time with no thorns. Sophie glared at her twin who was standing in front of her, her eyes turned a very scary icy blue and the colour of her hair went from bleach blonde to an icy white and smoke began to rise off of it, but from being so cold, not from heat. The plants began to slowly freeze solid from were they held Sophie, right down to the roots and up to the tips. It froze so hard fast, that it eventually shattered into many pieces. Sophie landed back on the ground and the twins went back into a stare off. Sophie made her move first this time, but she did it slowly. She began to control the air particles around her and created another illusion, one of her still standing there while she levitated off the ground and floated around her sister, thinking of a way on how to finish this in her favour. She remembered how she could control gas based compounds, elements and molecules, including carbon dioxide. Sophie held out her arm and a sphere of carbon dioxide formed around her sister. Cat looked around as the compound formed, Sophie's illusion disappeared and Cat turned to glared at her. Sophie refused to loose concentration on the carbon dioxide and ignored her sister's expression. Cat knew her fire wouldn't have any effect against the CO², it wouldn't even work. She did know however that plants sucked up carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, though that would give Sophie an oxygen advantage. Cat decided on her last option, the one she had been avoiding. Cat's body began to charge up and she reached into her pocket and pulled out a coin, pointing it at her sister. Sophie froze, there wasn't much she could do against Cat's electricity, let alone against her railgun. She could insulate it with air but it wouldn't be extremely effective against the electrical bullet. Sophie lowered her hand slowly not taking her eyes off Cat, there was electricity sparking out of her body. The carbon dioxide dispersed as Sophie lowered her hand
"Alright. You win, I surrender" Sophie admitted. Cat grinned and flipped her coin, catching it and putting it back in her pocket. Cat skipped up to Sophie and put her arm around her shoulder
"Nice job"
"You too" Sophie grinned
"I tried" Cat sighed
"I could tell" Sophie nodded
"What happened? Why did you stop?" Leah asked as the pack ran up to them
"Oh, I forgot you guys were here" Cat muttered
"Forgot?" Jared raised an eyebrow
"It's not like I was concentrating on you lot" Cat shrugged
"Why did you stop?" Embry asked Sophie
"I have a counteraction for everything Cat can do, and the same for her to me. Except for one. Cat can't repel my guilty, but gravity isn't dangerous unless it is used to crush you. I on the other hand, can't repel Cat's electricity, I can repel small amounts but not the technique she was threatening to use just now" Sophie explained
"What was that?" Jared wondered
"It's called a railgun. It's an electrically powered electromagnetic projectile. It is the ability to shoot metal projectiles, such as coins, at highly destructive speeds" Cat explained, everyone gave her a blank look, Cat rolled her eyes "I can shoot things that conduct electricity really fast using electromagnetism. It's like an incredibly fast, unstoppable, highly destructive, electric bullet that travels for a very long distance" she sighed
"Wow" Seth muttered
"So far it's unstoppable and it destroys everything in it's path, Sophie can't stop it. And although I wouldn't shoot it at my own sister, when it comes to our sparing matches we just expect everything to be thrown at us" Cat admitted
"Why didn't you do that from the beginning?" Leah questioned
"Because then there wouldn't be much of a point to the sparing match" Cat answered simply
"So do you always win then?" Quil wondered
"No. When against Sophie I don't like to use my electricity, one because I'm so good at it and need to test everything else, two because she can't do anything against it. She's the same with her gravity, we test those two on other things like rocks and trees" Cat admitted
"Though I've never threatened to crush her with my gravity or take her oxygen away" Sophie gave her twin a look, who shrugged innocently.
"That was awesome though" Jared grinned
"Thanks" the girls grinned
"And it didn't take longer then an hour" Paul smirked
"It's not exactly a lengthy process" Sophie shrugged
"Sometimes" Cat nudged her sister
"You know… I'd really like to see those two abilities of yours" Sam finally spoke, the girls glanced at each other
"Alright" Cat agreed slowly, she took a few steps back and a huge diamond boulder rose out of the ground, Sophie stood a meter in front of her sister and took a deep breath, she raised her right hand and after a second the diamond cracked, then again before it shattered into pieces.
"Awesome" Embry and Quil said in sync
"You think that's cool, you should see Cat's railgun" Sophie confessed, Cat waved her hand and the boulder of diamond was mended and put back together.
"You might wanna step back. Like a lot" she warned the others, taking the coin back out of her pocket. Sophie turned and walked about ten meters away, everyone else followed after a second. Cat lined her coin up with the boulder and electricity sparked out of her body, it ran through her body before all gathering at her hand, all happening in a few seconds. Cat flicked the coin into the air when all this was happening and when the electricity gathered at her hand the coin landed back on her fingers and suddenly shot off at the boulder, it let off a huge amount of light that made everything else look dark. The ground was turned up and the coin shot right through the diamond leaving a perfect circle almost in the centre of the boulder, but it didn't stop there, the railgun shot through and through and continued through the trees behind it. Cat leaned to the side to look around the boulder and, finally, the railgun stopped somewhere and silence fell
"Opps" Cat muttered after a while
"Shit" Leah whispered. Sophie went and stood next to her sister, she looked at the boulder
"You didn't get it in the middle" she eventually said
"Sorry for not having enough target practice" Cat answered
"What happened to the coin?" Seth wondered, Cat looked at him for a second then back at the destruction she'd caused
"Good question" she admitted
"You don't know?" Quil asked
"Well I never thought about it" Cat shrugged
"You never thought about what happened to all the coins you used? How much money have you lost then?" Leah asked
"Oh, no, these aren't money coins" Cat corrected
"They're these special, silver, decagon shaped coins, or something close to a decagon. They've got a lightning bolt in the middle and the edge is thicker then the rest of the coin." Sophie described
"There's also some writing on them and a few other mini symbols" Cat shrugged
"Where did you get coins like that?" Jared questioned
"You know how there are always those people who strongly believe in things, even if other people tell them it's pointless?" Cat asked, everyone nodded "They have things like these, so I searched them on ebay and I spent a lot of money on over a thousand of them. Maybe more" Cat admitted
"Over a thousand?" Leah questioned, Cat just shrugged innocently
"I needed them"
"Can you only shoot coins?" Seth wondered, Cat shook her head
"I can shoot anything that conducts electricity"
"Awesome" Quil grinned, Cat smirked
"So the only reason Cat won is because Sophie's to nice to threaten her sister?" Jared wondered, the twins shared a look before nodding
"Not only that but Sophie can't threaten me by just making a stance, if I hold up my hand with my coin in it, she know's immediately what I'm thinking. How do you show something like that with gravity?" Cat asked
"Another reason why she won" Sophie shrugged
"I'm surprised that you two actually had a counterattack for every attack" Embry confessed
"It's cause we're opposites, if one can do one thing, the other has it's counterpart" Sophie informed them all
"And yet you get along so well" Seth had realised
"We get along better now, then we did back in Miami" Cat confessed putting her arm around her sisters waist
"We were a lot more like opposites back then" Sophie nodded in agreement.
"Well, I suggest we all head back now" Sam decided "It's good to know more about you two though"
"We promise we are not a threat… except when we get really angry. Then you should throw us all the way to canada, just to be safe" Cat exaggerated grinning "Now, who's game enough to race me back?!"
"I will" Sophie smirked, Cat looked at her before glaring "But this time, we go by sky, not ground", Cat sighed
"Fine."
"What do you mean?" Leah wondered
"She's gonna make me fly instead of run, she thinks it will give her an advantage" Cat rolled her eyes
"Embry, will you call it?" Sophie asked as Cat and Sophie stood next to one another
"Uh… Ready" Embry began "Set… Go" he wasn't very enthusiastic about it, but the second he said 'go' the two girls had shot into the air and were just specks in the sky.
"That was fast" Jared muttered. Leah ran to the edge of the trees to phase, soon followed by Seth, Quil and Embry. Sam, Paul and Jared were not in as much of a hurry. The wolves ran back to Emily's house with the twins somewhere high above them. It didn't take them long to get back and the girls landed, one after the other before the wolves emerged from the trees.
"Who won?" Leah asked
"I did" Cat answered "Obviously", Sophie rolled her eyes
"You're back" they turned to see Emily and Kim at the door, each walking up to their wolves
"How was it?" Kim wondered
"Awesome. These girls can do some pretty amazing things" Jared answered, Kim smiled before they shared a kiss, Sam and Emily did also. Everyone filed into the kitchen but not before Jacob walked out
"Where have you all been?" he asked
"We had plans, to watch the twins give us a demonstration of their powers?" Leah reminded him walking past, not very happy. Jacob then remembered as everyone pushed past him into the house, the imprint couples had stopped smooching and went in with them. Jacob looked back to see Cat still standing there
"I'm really sorry" he apologised
"It's alright, what got you caught up?" she wondered
"Bella" he answered simply, Cat stopped, a confused look on her face. She thought for a minute before gasping
"She escaped?!" she asked, Jacob nodded
"Oh, about time!" Cat grinned "What did you two do?" she asked
"We went for a walk to the beach" Jacob shrugged
"Well, you're excused for missing our performance then. That girl needs some space, like seriously. It's like she's glued to that vampire of her's" Cat rolled her eyes
"Did I hear you say Bella got away?" Sophie asked making an appearance at the door, Cat nodded "Good" she said, rolling her eyes before walking back inside, Jacob gave Cat a look as she joined him on the porch
"It's a nightmare seeing those two together, believe me" she explained "How was she? Without her boy?"
"Worried" he shrugged
"Worried?"
"Worried about how angry he would be afterwards" Jacob grinned
"Huh, guess that makes sense" Cat admitted
"She had a hissy fit when she found out I wasn't currently ageing" Jacob remembered
"I don't blame her, it's like she's the only one around her who is" Cat sighed
"What about you and Sophie?" Jacob remembered
"We're still uncertain about that so till we are we'll say we're still ageing" Cat decided before entering the house.
"Jake you should have seen these two, they're amazing!" Quil complimented
"Cat does this awesome thing were she shoots coins through things" Seth explained
"And Sophie can crush a diamond without even touching it!" Jared grinned
"What did you do?" Jacob wondered
"Well, we had a sparing match to show off most of them, just those two are dangerous and we can't use them against one another" Sophie shrugged
"Sparing match?" Jacob raised an eyebrow, everyone nodded. Jacob looked a little concerned and looked at Cat, she rolled her eyes
"Calm down. I'm fine. I won" she winked at him "I also won the race we had to get to the meadow where we spared. And I won against Sophie on the way back. Victory all around for me today"
"Stop bragging, Blaze" Leah snapped
"Just cause I'm faster then you Leah" Cat smirked, Leah scowled at her before turning away and ignoring her. Cat rolled her eyes as she sat down, Jacob next to her.
"Blaze?" Jacob wondered, Cat shrugged
"She just stared calling me that. Might have something to do with the fire thing" Cat thought. Emily placed a whole heap of food in front of them and they immediately began to dig in. The pack all informed Jacob of Sophie and Cat's performance, though he would see it when he next phased with someone seeing as there aren't any secrets between them. The girls walked home with Embry and Jacob that afternoon as the sun was setting. Jacob was giving Cat a piggy back as she was feeling tired while Sophie and Embry were walking next to him, hand in hand. They were walking in silence, quite comfortably, Cat was trying to stay awake, she wasn't doing anything and the sun was setting so it was imaginable she would be sleepy, specially after the day they'd had. Sophie wasn't as bad, the night meant the moon, and cause her powers were related to it, like Cat's and the sun, she didn't feel as tired when the moon rose.
"Why are you so sleepy?" Jacob asked her
"Long day. Sun's setting" Cat mumbled back, Jacob looked confused and glanced at Sophie
"Fire is connected to the sun, so it effects her a little. She's currently not doing anything, used a lot of energy today and the sun it setting. It makes her a little sleepy" Sophie explained
"What about you?" Embry wondered
"Water is connected to the moon, I can stay up later then Cat because of that. Another reason why I'm better at school, I can stay up later to study then she does" Sophie answered
"So you're also connected to the sun and moon?" Jacob asked surprised, Sophie nodded
"Sometimes, but very rarely, you'll notice that the sun will reflect Cat's emotions, the sun rays will feel warmer when she's really happy. Sometimes it will even unexpectedly break through the clouds when it's meant to be raining all day" Sophie explained
"What about you?" Jacob wondered
"Well, the moon is at night, but if I am happy, it will shine brighter, no matter what state it is in, the sky will usually be clear also. I always feel great when the moon is full too. So when I'm in a good mood, the moon will light up the land like the sun does during the day. During an eclipse, solar or lunar, both Cat and my powers are extremely compatible too. They work together really well" Sophie answered
"That's awesome" Embry admitted softly
"Pretty cool, only we don't have any control over those parts, it's spontaneous" Sophie grinned
"Kind of like when the weather decides to represents our emotions" Cat mumbled
"Huh?" the boys questions
"When Cat and I are feeling the same emotions, the weather changes to represent those emotions. So if we were both feeling really upset then the weather would, say, become drizzling, that rain that is light but soaks you right through. If we were depressed then the weather would be dark, grey and depressing" Sophie explained
"That happens?" Embry raised his eyebrows
"Only when we both feel the exact same way" Sophie nodded "Which doesn't happen very often"
"I think it's happened four times" Cat sighed, Sophie nodded. The girls' house came into view and they trudged around to the front door, Cat, with Jacob's help, climbed down from his back and yawned before she and Sophie walked to the front door. They didn't say goodbye to their wolves, they'd probably join them afterwards, though Embry hadn't stayed the night yet, he did stay at least till Sophie went to bed… so far.
"Hey girls. How was your day?" Caren wondered smiling, kissing the foreheads of both her daughters when they walked in through the door
"Tiring" Cat yawned
"It was fun" Sophie smiled
"Well good" Caren smiled and walked with the girls into the living room. They spoke to their father before proceeding up into Sophie's room, the two wolves were chuckling silently when they arrived
"What's the joke?" Cat wondered sleepily
"Shouldn't you be going to sleep?" Jacob asked, ignoring her question
"That's a really lame joke" Cat answered, earning a grin from the two boys and a roll of the eyes from her sister.
"Come on you. You need some sleep" Jacob stood up and walked towards her, when he was close enough she leaned forwards and allowed him to catch her
"Sounds nice" she smiled quietly as Jacob picked her up bridal style, he nodded the head to the other two before walking out and to Cat's room. Embry and Sophie stayed in silence to a while, Sophie shifted her weight from one foot to the other while Embry looked around her room and twiddled his thumbs. An awkward moment had set in in the dark room, the first one for a while
"Are we just waiting for the other to speak or did we have an awkward moment earlier that I can't remember?" Sophie finally spoke
"No. I don't know, if we did, I don't remember it either. I just didn't know what to say" Embry admitted standing up and walking towards her.
"Hmm. Then why were we so silent?" she asked quietly
"Not sure" he grinned in response. He placed his hand on her waist, and hers naturally made their way up his bare chest and around his neck. They fell into a silence again, but this time it was pleasant. It wasn't long before Embry leaned down and kissed Sophie, she kissed him back happily and he traced her bottom lip, she opened her mouth just that little bit and their tongues met. Forgetting that he needed to breath until he pulled away, Sophie leaned her head against Embry's as he panted a little
"Large lung capacity huh?" he smirked
"Be great if you had one too" she muttered back
"Sorry to disappoint" he joked
"That's alright, makes me feel normal" Sophie confessed
"An elemental feels normal while kissing a werewolf? Wow" Embry grinned
"Shut up" she muttered and kissed him again.
