So, this one's a bit of a repeat of the last… in a way, but at the same time it's not. I kind of bullshitted the last paragraph to get it longer so sorry if it's shit. We're getting closer to Breaking Dawn. :D
Third Person POV.
A week past and although the girls were constantly thinking about the bunker and the painting, their actions returned to normal. They were trying to forget all about the experience and everyone excepted that and tried not to talk about it.
"Alice as if there's more things that need doing?" Cat complained "You've had Soph and I on the phone to heaps of designers, heaps of tailors… what else is there?"
"The garden, I need you to decorate it!" Alice answered
"The wedding is almost a week away, you don't want me doing it now" Cat admitted
"No, but I need your help in deciding"
"Alice, since when do you need help?"
"Since it's right up your ally, your advice on the outside decorations are crucial, I also need you and Sophie to make sure the weather's perfect" Alice rambled
"Alice, you know the weather's gonna be fine" Cat said
"I can never be too careful" Alice said seriously. "Plus we still need to have the fitting"
"But not for at least a few days" Cat disagreed
"We need to get it under control now!" Alice ordered "The fitting is all that still needs to be done"
"What about the cake and food?" Cat wondered
"Sophie's gonna help with that" Alice smiled
"Well, have you got a date for the fitting?" Cat asked
"Of course I do"
"You wanna share?"
"It's in three days" Alice sighed
"Alright, I promise to be there" Cat promised "Sophie too"
"Awesome!" Alice grinned
"See you then. Oh and you need to come the night or day before the wedding in order to get the flowers and garden ready."
"Yeah, yeah" Cat waved the thought away "Remind me closer to the day"
"Cat…" Alice whined
"Bye Alice" Cat grinned before hanging up
"That was mean" Sophie said, she was sitting opposite Cat in the living room reading a book.
"Only way to make her shut up" Cat shrugged
"You could have done it nicer" Sophie mumbled, Cat rolled her eyes
"This is Alice we're talking about, either she wouldn't have stopped talking or she would have hung up on me" Cat reminded her
"Then she's the one in the wrong not you" Sophie shrugged
"Alright miss wise" Cat rolled her eyes. Sophie raised an eyebrow at her and sighed.
"Alright girls, your father and I are going out" Caren said entering the lounge room as she rummaged through a handbag.
"Where are you going?" Sophie wondered
"Your father's taking me out for lunch and we need to go and pick up a few things from Seattle" Caren answered
"So you're gonna be gone all day?" Cat asked
"More or less, yes. Why is that a problem?" Caren wondered
"No" Cat shook her head
"Well alright. We'll see you this afternoon" Caren walked over to both girls and kissed both their foreheads before leaving the room. The twins listened as they both got into the car, turned on the ignition and left the garage, driving down the long driveway. Sophie looked at Cat
"Shall we?" she asked
"It's about time we checked it out" Cat nodded. They waited a few more seconds before getting up and running down the stairs towards the hidden door behind the bookcase. Sophie pressed the button and the door opened before Cat followed her down the dirt stairs, they hadn't been down there since they'd discovered it. They opened the old door and entered the bunker, Cat found an space of clear wall and placed both her palms on the dirt. Concentration filled her face as she began to work out how long the bunker had been there. Sophie watched Cat for a while before she heard a shout
"Hello!?" she turned towards the door behind her and walked back up the the stairs.
"Down here" she called, Jacob and Embry appeared at the book case opening.
"What are you doing down there?" Embry wondered as Sophie reached them
"Mum and dad are gone for the day, so we thought we'd use the time to find out how long the bunker's been here" Sophie explained walking away from the opening.
"You can do that?" Jacob asked surprised
"I can't, but Cat can, some how. Apparently even holes leave some sort of trace behind and she can use it to identify how long it's been there" Sophie shrugged "I have no idea how she does it and every time she tries to explain I always end up more confused then then before." she confessed
"In other words?" Jacob wondered
"In other words you can't distract her, which means you can't go and see her cause you'll end up doing just that" Sophie decided, crossing her arms
"Soph" Embry disagreed
"What? It's not my choice, she will only get angry if we bother her" Sophie admitted. The boys looked at one another, something was obviously on their minds
"What?" Sophie asked noticing the look
"We had an idea" Embry began
"Embry had an idea" Jacob corrected
"What was it?" Sophie questioned
"Well, we were thinking, if your parents did have anything to do with…" Embry looked at the open bookcase "… that, then, maybe there was something similar back at your old house"
"Well not if they stored everything here" Sophie thought
"Which is what I said" Jacob nodded "Until, I remembered the Cullens."
"What about them?" Sophie questioned confused
"They need to move around every few years so that people don't notice that they're never ageing, so they have more than one house." Jacob explained
"If your parents don't age, than they'd probably have a similar system, so your house back in Miami might have something old about it, something secretive like this one" Embry said, Sophie thought it over before her eyes widened, she looked at them
"Why the hell didn't we think of that" she leaped on Embry hugging him before she hugged Jacob "You two are geniuses" they shrugged "Now we just need to go all the way down to Miami" she muttered
"You can't buy a plane ticket?" Embry asked, Sophie rolled her eyes but smiled
"I could but mum and dad would notice and then they'd know something was up. We need a plan" she started thinking "It took six hours and fifteen minutes to get here by plane, but if Cat flew and dragged me along it would probably take about half that, which means we could go and comeback within the day…" she muttered talking to herself
"Woah, woah, woah, hold up" Jacob interrupted her, Sophie looked at him confused
"What?"
"You think we're gonna let the two of you go alone?" he asked
"Um, yes" Sophie said as though it was obvious
"No." Jacob said sternly
"Why not?" Sophie questioned
"One; because it was our idea, and two; because you still have those two nut-jobs after you" Jacob reminded her
"So?" Sophie wondered
"Soph, think of it from our perspective, if you left to go to the other corner of the continent, we'd worry about you, plus we'd be so far apart. You and Cat have been through a lot, you can't blame us for wanting to look after you both" Embry explained
"But if you two come it will slow the whole thing down and I'll really have to give mum and dad a real excuse" Sophie said "It'd be easier and faster if just Cat and I went"
"Well we aren't letting you go on your own" Embry said firmly
"You wouldn't have a choice if we just left"
"Than we'd come after you" Embry shrugged
"By the time you got there we'd already be home" Sophie admitted
"To bad" Embry argued. Sophie looked at him for a while before she sighed.
"Fine" she grumbled and went back into her thinking state "So I need a lie to give mum and dad, we'll probably be gone over night…"
"Stay at my house" Jacob shrugged, Sophie looked at him and raised an eyebrow
"If we stayed at your house we wouldn't be on the other side of the country…" Sophie said
"Exactly"
"You can't stop us from going now" Sophie said, Jacob rolled his eyes
"You wouldn't actually be there, we'll just tell your parents that, my dad can cover for us all" he explained
"Either that or we say we're staying at the Cullens" Sophie shrugged "At least then mum and dad wouldn't be getting funny ideas as to why we're sleeping over at your house" she smirked, Jacob sighed and shook his head
"Cat's rubbing off on you" Embry nudged her, she shrugged.
"Why don't we tell you dad but ask the Cullens to cover for us, that why the Cullens can cover for Cat and I and your dad can cover for you and Embry" Sophie decided "That sounds much more full proof"
"You're the smart one" Jacob shrugged, Sophie rolled her eyes, she then frowned
"What?" Embry asked noticing
"We need to get Sam to let you go" she muttered, the boys sighed
"So, let's talk to Emily" they turned around as Cat walked out of the bookcase
"You done?" Sophie asked
"Yeah" Cat shrugged, they waited but Cat didn't say anything else
"Well?" Sophie asked, egging her on
"Carbon dating says that the stone in the walls have been there for about ten centuries, but that doesn't mean it was built ten centuries ago" Cat explained
"Well, there are things down there from seven centuries ago, maybe it has been there that long" Sophie shrugged
"Have humans even been around for that long?" Jacob wondered, Cat shrugged.
"Why do we need to talk to Emily?" Embry remembered
"Because she can 'convince' Sam to let the boys come" Cat put quotation marks around the word convince
"And by convince you mean force?" Sophie wondered
"In a way" Cat grinned. Sophie sighed and shook her head
"Well, might as well ask now, get it over with" she muttered
"We need to be back in three days for Bella's fitting, Alice has ordered us to go remember" Cat said
"Which means we might wanna leave today" Sophie mumbled, Cat nodded. They closed the bookcase and walked towards the garage, opening the garage door slightly and ducking under it, leaving the house. The two boys phased and the girls both jumped on their backs before the wolves raced off towards Emily's house.
"Hey Girls" Emily smiled, hugging them both as they entered the kitchen
"Hey Em" they chorused
"How are you doing?" she wondered
"Not bad" Cat shrugged, she looked at Sophie who nodded in agreement
"What brings you here?" Emily wondered
"We just wanted to see you Em? Can't we do that without it being suspicious?" Sophie wondered
"Not when you bring those two looking like that" Emily said pointing at the boys, they both had serious looks on their faces. The twins rolled their eyes.
"Ok, we have a reason for visiting, but we love still you anyway Em" Cat grinned
"Alright, what's up?" Emily wondered as she retreated back behind the kitchen bench
"We need your help" Sophie began, Emily looked at her surprised
"Why? What's wrong?" she questioned
"We want to take a little trip back down to Miami, to see if there's any old, hidden secrets in our old house like there is here in Forks." Cat began
"But, the boys wont let us go unless they come with us" Sophie explained
"So…" Emily began
"So we need Sam to give them permission to come with us. Because they're coming the trip will take about two days which means they'll be off shift work for that long. If we were going on our own, it wouldn't take that long but, they refused to allow that" Cat sighed
"Have you asked Sam?" Emily wondered
"We've already made them miss several shifts, you think he's gonna let them miss more?" Cat asked
"We don't mind if they don't come, but they're throwing a fit over it, so we thought it would just be easier and quicker if we allowed them to accompany us" Sophie shrugged. Emily smiled
"I understand that part perfectly" she confessed
"Could you help us?" Sophie wondered
"Well, I'll ask, but you might wanna go talk to Billy, get his permission too, being a council leader and all he has a little bit of authority above Sam" Emily reminded them
"That wont be difficult, Billy loves me" Cat smirked, Sophie rolled her eyes
"We'll go do that while you wait for Sam to come back, call us when he does?" Sophie asked
"Sure" Emily smiled, the twins both hugged her
"Thanks" they chorused
"Anytime" she promised.
"You two coming?" Cat called, the boys had began eating the cookies Emily had on the coffee table in the lounge room. They got up and followed their imprints
"I feel like the president, you know how he has his body guards?" Sophie muttered
"I know they're acting more like followers than boyfriends" Cat nodded
"We can hear you" Embry reminded her
"Really?" Cat asked surprised "I never would have guessed" the boys rolled their eyes at her sarcasm. They four of them headed towards Jacob's house and when they found Billy — sitting in his love seat in front of the TV — they replayed to him what they'd told Emily. Cat kneeled on the ground in front of him
"I didn't mind if they didn't come." she admitted. Of course at that he boys had had a stink about it and argued they were coming no matter what. Cat had given Billy a look and he'd rolled his eyes before agreeing to allow the wolves to accompany the twins. He'd also agreed to covering for them if necessary. As the four of them were leaving the little red house Emily had given them a call and had convinced Sam to allow the journey.
"That means everything's set" Cat said as they stood on Jacob's porch
"All we need to do is tell the Cullens so they can cover for our fake sleep over and we're set." Sophie smiled
"Are we gonna go down there or you just gonna call them?" Jacob asked, Cat rolled her eyes at his behaviour.
"We'll just call, it'll be easier and quicker." Sophie decided pulling out her phone. Alice had been the one to pick up at the other end
"Sophie, what's up?" she asked after Sophie had said hi
"We need a favour. Cat and I, and the boys, are going a little field trip, but we can't tell mum and dad so can you tell them we're at your house and staying for the night, helping with the wedding preparations and stuff?" Sophie asked
"What do you mean a field trip!? I just gave Cat a date for the fitting!" Alice said, throwing a fit
"Which is why we need to go now, one because it's the only time to go before the wedding and two, if we leave today we'll be back in time for your fitting" Sophie explained
"Why? Where are you going?" Alice demanded
"Miami" Sophie said simply
"Miami? Why? And why don't you just get a plane ticket?"
"It's easier if we just run Alice. We need to take a look at our old house" Sophie explained, Alice huffed
"Fine, but you better be back in time or I'm going to hunt you down for the rest of your life" Alice threatened
"Good luck" Sophie laughed before hanging up.
"Now we need to tell mum and dad" Cat said
"I'll text them, let's just go" Sophie decided
"Chill, it's not like we're in any kind of rush" Cat shrugged as they walked
"You really want Alice on your tail the rest of your life?" Sophie asked, Cat thought about it
"No" she confessed
"Then lets go" Sophie grinned.
"So if the flights six hours, how long do you think it'll take us?" Embry asked
"It takes cars about fifty-one hours which is just over two days. Walking takes just over forty-six days" Sophie started doing the math in her head while the boys looked at her surprised
"Shit" Jacob muttered, Embry nodded.
"But we're faster than a car, and Cat can help speed us up…" Sophie muttered "It we're lucky we might be able to do it in six hours, maybe eight"
"You think?" Cat asked
"We have you, I can't really add you into the equation" Sophie reminded her, Cat grinned. "Come on, we're got just under 72 hours to work with" Sophie said, the boys ran off into the trees, phased and the girls joined them before they began their long journey across the continent. It only took them two hours to pass Portland, proving Sophie's point of them being faster than cars, which took four hours.
"If we're travelling only twice as fast as cars then that'll take us 25 hours?" Cat asked Sophie
"Yeah, but you're forgetting about yourself again" Sophie reminded her
"You're asking to much of me, I don't know if I can speed them both up, remember last time? I couldn't do it unless through physical contact" Sophie shook her head
"That was stimulating the nerves, this is different"
"Their body's aren't equipped for it" Cat warned
"I know, but you control light, I'm sure you can control how it effects them" Sophie admitted
"Will you stop putting pressure on me! Why don't you fly us over?"
"That's what I wanted you to do but they insisted on coming" Sophie glared
"You could just make something out of ice and fly us?" Cat questioned
"I'll do that once they get tired, they want to feel useful so let them be" Sophie reminded her. Cat rolled her eyes. It took them around five hours alone to reach Idaho, the wolves had run their share and the four of them stopped in the Yellow Stone National Park. The girls climbed off the boys backs and walked a little ways away before the wolves phased back and pulled on their cut offs
"We're never gonna make it on time like this, flying is the fastest way, no more running" Cat decided
"Yeah, I agree" Sophie nodded. The boys joined them again not a second later
"So, what now?" Jacob asked
"Now, it's our turn" Sophie smiled, Embry raised an eyebrow
"You're gonna carry us?"
"In a way" Sophie shrugged. She waved her hand and a platform of ice appeared, it had walls around the edges.
"Ice? You think that will hold?" Cat wondered
"My ice is different" Sophie reminded her
"I know, but I'd feel better if it was something else, like steel" Cat said, she waved her own hand and lots of black specks gathered out of the ground before it formed a similar shape to Sophie's ice, though the steel dropped down on top of ice and smashed it. Sophie looked at Cat annoyed
"What?" Cat said, it opened and she jumped in, Jacob followed and laid down on the bottom, it was rather big and he fit in it perfectly with still more space. Embry followed suit and laid next to Jacob, both of them needing a rest. Sophie rolled her eyes and climbed in before it lifted off the ground
"I'll keep it air born, you make it fast" Sophie ordered Cat. Cat saluted her
"Yes ma'am" she grinned. The steel box shot off through the air, and rose up above the clouds. The two boys fell asleep on the base of the box within the second. They shot over Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas within the hour, making much better time then before. They went past Arkansas, Mississippi and through Alabama. By now the sun had begun to set and the sky was a vibrant pink colour.
"There goes Georgia" Cat muttered as they flew over it
"You know, I just realised that we're gonna fly right over Bella's mum's house" Sophie realised
"Huh," Cat said, not really interested "Yep there goes Jacksonville" she said not two minutes later. It took them ten minutes to reach Miami after that
"Look out everyone, steel box descending randomly from the sky" Cat muttered as Sophie lowered them down. They landed in the Everglades National Park before turning to the boys, they were snoring their heads off.
"Should we leave them here?" Cat wondered
"I think so, no way will they be able to get through Miami looking like that" Sophie muttered, they were only wearing shorts.
"Miami is different from Forks" Cat nodded. "Lets make this quick, before they wake up" Sophie nodded in agreement and the two sprinted off after Cat made the foliage around the box disguise it.
"I feel bad" Sophie muttered
"I know. But I'd rather let them sleep" Cat confessed
"True". They found the S Dixie highway and ran along side it, concealed.
"Oh I miss this warm weather" Cat smiled happily. Sophie rolled her eyes but smiled. It didn't take them long to reach their old street, Ardiva Parkway
"Oh I miss this place" Cat sighed
"Yeah, you said" Sophie muttered
"Stop being a spoil sport" Cat accused. They came to the end of the road, at the end was a grand house, completely surrounded by ocean except for the road. There was their own personal dock, a tennis court, a swimming pool, a sand pit with a volley ball net. The house was twice the size of their Forks house. In all honesty, it looked like a resort, not a house.
"It hasn't changed at all" Sophie smiled
"Thank god" Cat grinned. They walked to the front gates and lightly jumped over them before quickly walking through the grounds
"Remember were all the cameras are?" Sophie asked
"We did spend a lot of our child hood trying to figure out how to get through here without being spotted" Cat smirked
"Great times" Sophie chuckled. They walked through the volley ball net, keeping hidden in the trees and out of sight of the patrol guard. They quickly reached the tennis court and walked around the fence.
"Alright, let's see if there's anything here shall we?" Cat muttered, she crouched down and dug her fingers into the soil. They were still for a while before Cat moved
"Nothing" she muttered
"Where else could something be?" Sophie wondered, Cat's eyes landed on the ocean
"How about an underwater one?" she asked her, Sophie looked from her twin to the ocean
"You're insane"
"It's a movie thing. Come on"
"The water movements would have changed way to much over the last however many years. An underwater one, on the edge of the land would be impractical" Sophie whisper shouted
"Stop with your stupid smart talk. They managed to put some protective thingy up around the bunker back in forks, they probably did something here too" Cat argued back. Sophie glared at her
"How am I meant to find something that's under ground, just cause it's got a water entrance doesn't mean I can find it"
"Take a look and I'll do the rest" Cat hissed "It's either this to eliminate our parents or we don't get any closer to answers" she reminded her twin. They both paused as a light shone their way, both girls turned invisible as a patrol guard walked around the tennis court.
"Shit, we forgot about the patrol people" Sophie remembered
"That's cause we never had to worry about them before" Cat said back
"Think they'll hear us if we move?" Sophie wondered
"Only one way to find out" Cat said and she began to walk. She made absolutely no noise, being as silent as an insect.
"I bet you could creep up on a vampire" Sophie muttered after she didn't hear her sister make any noise
"That would be fun" Cat smirked. Sophie looked at the guard who was casually looking around before she walked in the same direction as her sister. Unfortunately Sophie couldn't see her and she crashed into Cat's shoulder.
"Ouch!" Cat snapped as both of them hit the ground. The guard heard them and turned towards their position, both girls were still invisible and so they couldn't be seen, but the man walked over towards them to investigate.
"We need to move" Sophie said standing up
"Agreed" Cat muttered, following suit. They quickly rounded the tennis court and walked towards the edge of the property where the water was
"Who's there?" another guard called
"What happened to being silent as a mouse?" Cat questioned
"It got left behind" Sophie said "Come on, lets get this over with before the two boys wake up"
"Opps, forgot about them" Cat muttered
"Only you would forget about your boyfriend" Sophie rolled her eyes. They reached the edge and flew over the water, causing it to spray up, the guard shinned his torch but did not see anything. The girls hovered above the water for a while.
"Now will you check the water?" Cat asked as she turned visible
"Fine" Sophie said, also appearing. She dropped down and went straight under the water, disappearing from sight. Cat stayed and waited until Sophie finally resurfaced. She gave Cat a look
"I was right wasn't I" Cat smirked, Sophie rolled her eyes and dived back under. Cat scowled, annoyed her sister couldn't give her the satisfaction before she fell into the water after Sophie. Cat looked around, the water was clear and blue, the coral could be seen easily. Sophie was swimming gracefully ahead of Cat, she was heading down towards the bottom of the ocean. Cat turned and swam down after her sister, passing the fish, coral, and other sea animals. Sophie had a huge smile on her face as she looked at it, she hadn't seen such beautiful scenery since she'd left Miami. A dolphin appeared and swam up to Sophie, she stopped and patted it, friendly before it swam off again, Cat reached Sophie
"On a mission remember" she said, Sophie rolled her eyes
"Calm down and let me enjoy this while it lasts" Sophie turned and continued to swim down. They came to the side of the land, it was like a cliff and the wall had a metal door.
"Well, look at this" Cat thought, she touched the door before looking at Sophie "You hold the water from flooding the place while I open it" Sophie nodded and held her hands out while Cat wedged her fingers into the gap between the doors. She pulled the doors apart and, using a bit of mineral control, she pulled the door open, leaving dents in the doors. Cat went through first and as she stepped through the door she went from water to air, like stepping through a waterfall. Sophie stepped through behind her and Cat forced the doors to shut again as Sophie lowered her hands and stopped controlling everything, luckily none of the water came through. The girls turned to see they were in a metal corridor.
"What's the betting we'll find something similar to what's in Forks?" Cat wondered
"High" Sophie sighed. They began walking down the corridor and eventually came to the end. It was another bunker, only this one had less in it.
"Less furniture" Cat noticed
"And crap" Sophie muttered
"It's made off metal, it mustn't be as old as the other one" Cat thought, she placed her hand on the wall "The carbon dating here isn't as old as the other" she nodded, confirming her thoughts.
"It looks just as big as the other one…" Sophie muttered "Think this is their new storage place?"
"Probably" Cat sighed. "You know what this means, don't you"
"Yeah" Sophie nodded "It means mum and dad are the ones those two people spoke about"
"But then what have they been lying to us about?" Cat wondered
"And what's going on with that whole picture thing?" Sophie wondered
"We haven't really solved any problems have we?" Cat muttered
"No" Sophie sighed "The only question we answered was who was lying to us; answer, our parents"
"That doesn't make me feel any better" Cat frowned
"Yeah, me either" Sophie muttered
"Now what?" Cat wondered "Do we talk to them about it?"
"I don't know" Sophie shook her head
"Is there any reason that talking to them might be wrong?" Cat asked
"I can't see it, but what if they lie to our faces? What if they give us bad news?" Sophie worried.
"Like what?"
"Like we're aliens, or cyborgs, or science experiments?" Sophie worried
"We aren't cyborgs, we have organic bodies" Cat assured her
"What about the others?" Sophie asked
"I don't know about them." Cat shook her head
"What if we aren't even their kids?" Sophie whispered, Cat frowned but didn't say anything.
"Come on, we still have to get back to the boys" Cat muttered, she took Sophie's hand and walked her back to the door. Sophie stopped the water and Cat pride back open the metal door before the twins stepped into the water and Cat closed the door again, but this time she sealed it completely. The girls swam back up to the surface, though when they reached it, they just treaded water for a bit.
"I have no idea what to do about this" Cat confessed
"Me either" Sophie agreed
"Think we could just find those two idiots and make them tell us everything? And then ask mum and dad?" Cat wondered
"That would be the easy way to do it" Sophie agreed. They eventually left the water and flew back over Miami, reaching the forest. They flew slowly, just below the tree tops until they found the foliage covered metal box.
"That's no surprise" Cat muttered, the two boys were still fast asleep, Sophie looked at her watch
"We were only gone for over three hours" she noticed
"Just shows how much sleep they've been getting" Cat sighed, she removed the foliage and the twins climbed into the box before Sophie levitated it into the air and Cat shot it off back towards Forks. The twins were silent the entire trip back, the boys slept for the whole three hour duration. They eventually landed back in Billy's backyard, the boys asleep and the girls didn't move.
"Cat? Sophie?" they both looked up to see Seth standing there "What are you doing here?"
"We, just got back" Cat answered softly
"Right, your Miami trip. How'd it go?" Seth wondered, the girls frowned and didn't answer.
"That bad huh" Seth muttered, he walked over to the metal box and noticed the two boys. He looked up at Cat
"They've been like that for about seven hours, maybe more" she shrugged
"So they have no idea what happened?" Seth asked
"No" Cat answered
"Wanna tell me?" Seth suggested, Cat stayed silent
"We found another bunker, below our Miami house. Though this one was more modern and made of steel, it also didn't have as much stuff in it." Sophie explained "Turns out our parents are completely to blame for the lies" she muttered. Seth frowned
"Guess asking if you're ok is silly then" he muttered
"Just a little" Cat nodded. She got up and climbed out of the metal box before she randomly walked off into the trees.
"Where's she going?" Seth wondered looking at Sophie
"To think" Sophie answered before she levitated and flew straight up into the clouds.
Jacob's POV.
I felt someone shaking me, I groaned and waved my hand, hitting what ever was causing the shaking.
"Jake, get up!"
"Go away" I grumbled annoyed
"Jacob! Stop lazing around" that was Embry's voice, they started shaking me again
"Leave me alone" I groaned
"Jake!" Seth shouted
"What?!" I said sitting up "Are we there already?"
"Jake, we're back home" Embry told me, I looked at him completely surprised before looking around me, I was surrounded by trees, the sky was black and covered in clouds. I smelt the familiar smell of the LaPush woods and the smell of First Beach not far off. I turned to see my house not twenty metres away. I was still sitting in the steel box Cat had created, I could smell her scent on it, but it was fading.
"How did we get here?" I asked
"Don't know, Seth woke me up and we were here" Embry confessed, I looked at Seth
"Where are the girls?" I questioned, Embry frowned and looked at Seth "What?" I demanded
"They left" Seth said
"Left?"
"I found them here, just sitting in this box, you two were fast asleep. They were really upset, though I can't blame them. After telling me what happened, they both got up, and left" Seth explained
"Left? Left where?" I asked
"Cat ran off through the trees and Sophie flew up into the clouds" Seth answered
"Why? Why were they upset?" Embry asked
"Because of what they found in Miami" Seth sighed "They told me that they found a metal bunker under their Miami house, but it was much newer then the one here and a lot more empty. After seeing it they came to the conclusion that their parents had been lying to them their whole lives. They were frowning the whole time I was talking to them" I frowned, they went without us
"I can't believe we fell asleep" I cursed
"Me either, they went through all of that alone" Embry muttered, he looked up at the sky, I felt sorry for him, I could go after Cat, but there was no way he could go into the sky to find Sophie.
"I think we should try and leave them be for a while" I muttered, as much as it hurt, we couldn't help them right now, I wouldn't even know what to say anyway. I got up and the three of us walked over and into my house. It was silent, it was early morning and my dad was still sleeping. Embry and I crashed onto the couch, Seth was just watching us. We just sat down and didn't move for the rest of the morning.
Third Person POV.
"Good morning" Billy said as he wheeled through the lounge room. He must have noticed the boys silence and stillness as bad cause he stopped immediately
"What's wrong?" he asked, no response. "How was your trip?" he wondered, again, no response. "Spill" he ordered, Seth sighed
"The girls found another bunker, under their other house. So they now know that their parents have been lying to them and they're pretty upset." he explained
"Where are they?" Billy questioned
"They ran off upset, Sophie to the sky and Cat through the trees" Seth muttered.
"And you didn't go after them?" Billy said surprised
"I decided we should leave them alone, we can't really do much to help anyway" Jacob confessed.
"So you thought you'd just let them be by themselves, with their thoughts to themselves, crying?" Billy listed, that was all Embry needed to prompt him as he stood up and left the house.
Embry's POV.
I ran, and ran, and ran. I wasn't one hundred percent as to where I was running too but I knew I had to get up high, I knew she'd be in the sky somewhere. I also knew she could hear me, no matter what, so I just went to the highest place and phased back, pulling on my cut offs. I stood at the point of the cliff and looked up.
"Soph…" I said "I know you can hear me. I can't come to you, but I'd sure like for you to come to me" I left kind of stupid, talking to myself, and I was about to give up when I Sophie landed in front of me. Her eyes were red and puffy, she refused to look at me. She'd been crying. I walked straight up to her and pulled her to me, holding her in my arms. She just cried and cried, it began to drizzle, a depressing sight. I guessed it came from Sophie. We just stood there, didn't say a word, didn't move an inch. I held her as close to me as I could, as tight as I could, trying to comfort her. I didn't know what to say to her, I didn't know how to comfort her, but at the same time, I understood. I know how I felt when I phased, and discovered that I could be related to Jake, Quil or Sam. No one could comfort me properly so I didn't bother trying to speak to Sophie, not at least until she was ready to hear it. So we stood in the rain, I lost track of what was rain and what was Sophie's tears, but every time she sobbed my heart broke.
