Chapter 6: Thrist

For the past few weeks, it was like everything changed in an instant. The day after Conner kissed me, things have been different. People gawked at how he and I were walking close together. People seemed to forget that I was supposed to keep a cast on my leg, but they were all too distracted to see Conner with a girl in God knows how long. They stared at us like we were celebrities. The thought of everyone staring at someone as beautiful as Conner with someone as dark and punk-like as me embarrassed me extremely then. But it's been feeling normal lately. Everyday, I'd get ready for people running up to me. Asking me if Conner was a good kisser, if he and I were serious about each other, or if I loved him as much as he loved me. Even the girls I live with ask me every night if we talked about anything different. I felt like someone who worked at a newspaper company that got every information of the world before everyone else.

After that night, Conner has been very open towards me. He hasn't been around his family as often as he did before I came in and ruined their relationship. Conner has been telling about arguments he had with Jesse and the subject was always about me. Emma has been speaking to me a lot and she's been telling me how happy she was that Conner found someone of his real interest.

“The other girls he used to date were all vampires and lasted at least one and a half weeks because the girls didn't like how he believed in vegetarianism. It thats a huge offense with our kind, especially the kind of class we're in,” Emma explained to me as Conner was doing his homework next to me. It was lunch at the moment and the cafeteria was still in construction after the earthquake that nearly killed me.

“Is that why Jesse has been anti-social with Conner? Because you guys aren't suppose to be around me?” I asked Emma before looking over at Conner, but had his eyes on his paper. I then turned back to Emma again before she began confessing.

“Yea, thats the reason. Jesse has it harder than Conner and I. He really likes you Tori, but he thinks that it's best if you stay away from him, knowing that your scent is far too strong for both of us. And it's pretty strong for Conner's taste as well,” Emma motioned her head to Conner after mentioning her name. I looked over at Conner again, this time he was looking at me.

His eyes were blacker than usual, Conner would warn me once in a while to stay away from him when his eyes were black. He wouldn't tell me why his eyes would shift colors though, he wanted me to figure it out for myself. “Is my scent that strong Conner? Even for you?” I asked him seriously. He was silent, he broke our eye contact and looked at his paper. Before he finished writing his last answer, he took his paper and walked away. I was silent and looked back at Emma.

“He never told you why his eyes would shift color, would he?” Emma asked me grimly. She and I looked at one another for a while, then I looked down at the ground.

“No, he wants me to figure it out. But I've been getting a feeling in my gut that it's something that's not good. I get the feeling he's putting me in danger for not telling me.”

“He is putting you in danger, which is idiotic of him. Knowing him, he'd tell anyone who he's really serious about.”

“So are you going to tell me out of protection?” I asked her, curiously.

“Yes, I am!” she said enthusiastically. “The reason is —” she suddenly stopped there. I was confused and waited for her answer patiently. She bit her lip and had sadness in her eyes.

“Conner's stopping you isn't he?” I asked her seriously. She nodded. I sighed from disbelief. What was Conner taking me for? Is he expecting that I know everything about him? It was frustrating me. I let out another sigh and looked at Emma again. “Thanks for trying to help me out though,” I told her before taking my bag.

I began walking off as I thought of a way to scold Conner. The bell ran by the time I was half way to my chemistry class. I got there early enough that Conner and I were alone. I took my seat next to him without saying a word.

“What's wrong Conner? Why won't you tell me why it happens?” I asked him without looking at him.

“You'll have to figure it out on your own,” he snarled at me.

I flinched from his reaction. I took a deep breath and exhaled it back. “Ok, so this is another way of learning about men I see . . .” I took my time going through why men would be cranky along with what vampires would do at measures like this. I didn't notice that the bell rang when I was gliding through my thoughts until Dustin tapped me on the shoulder.

“Hey Tori, are you ok?” Dustin asked me calmly.

“Yea, I'm fine. I was just thinking,” I answered him. I heard a growl in the back of my mind, echoing through the corners of my mind. “Behave Conner,” I snapped at Conner. I heard a snarl after biting his head off.

“Ok, you just seemed mad and concentrated on one thing as you stared your lab table,” Dustin said to me.

“Did I? Sorry that I worried you then,” I said with a slight grin. Dustin smiled back and then walked away to his lab table.

I heard a slight vibration of a growl in my mind again just after Dustin took his seat. “Calm down Conner,” I told him.

“It disgusts me how he's around you,” I hear Conner said to me in disgust.

“Whats wrong with Dustin?” I asked him, angry at how he's been acting.

“Nothing that I can read. Oh wait . . . I can't read his thoughts!” Conner roared. I swore I was about to cry when he yelled in my mind. I had to fight the tears and suck it up.

“What the hell is your problem Conner? What did I do to make you this pissed at me?” I growled back at him, beating the tears back to the back of my mind, trying to forget the tears.

He was silent after that. We haven't spoken again in those few minutes of heart-breaking silence. I walked through my memories of why men would act this idiotic and rude to anyone. All there was for a while was blank images. Nothing was coming to me that would help me.

“Leave me alone already!” I heard a scream coming from the front.

“Are you alright?” his partner asked him.

“Do I seem like I'm alright?” he asked her rudely.

“Oooh, thats why,” she nodded, seeming to not be surprised of her partner's attitude. I watched them carefully, observing them as thoroughly as possible. I saw the girl pull a granola bar out of her purse and handed it to him.
I watched him eat the bar like a monster and saw his muscles relaxed. He took a deep breath as he chewed up the bite of bar he ate. “Thanks,” he said quietly.

My eye brows perked up together, making lines in between my brows and then looked over at Conner. I looked into his eyes without him noticing me, just examining them again. Conner's eyes were a jet black color with no emotion in them. They were the eyes of a predator.

“You're hungry . . . more like thirsty. You're trying to fight your instincts,” I guessed. He turned his head to me, boredom in his eyes. “If thats what it was, you should have told me, instead of risking my life and waiting for your predator side to take over and attack me at any minute,” I told him.

He was silent for a while and spoke again. “I wanted to tell you. But I had thoughts in my mind. I was looking through and seeing what you would do if I ever told you. I wanted to know if you were going to walk away from me for your safety if I told you, or you would stay with me if I never told you. I wanted to tell you to protect you. But the thought of you not being around me was crushing my chest,” he told me. His voice was quiet and shameful. I could sense the self loathing aura that was among Conner at that moment.

“I understand what you mean and both seem important in it's own way, but knowing that you wanted me to stay with you without me knowing was stupid. I'm still with you now. I know that there's a beast inside you that lusts for blood, but I'm not afraid. I'm still here,” I told him calmly. The thoughts of him feeling lonely without me depressed me inside that my chest was being beaten to a pulp.

He was silent again. I felt the feeling of regret within him. He was regretting that he made the mistake of confessing about why he was being so arrogant. “So . . . what are you going to do?” I asked him out loud, but it was too quiet for everyone in the room to hear.

“I'm going to go hunting. I'll be gone for the weekend, since my hunger is stronger. If I'm lucky and there's more animals around by the time I get there, then I'll be back in a day or so. And it's harder for me to be around you. You smell so . . .” he stopped there. I kept a straight and serious face, so the students wouldn't wonder what we were talking about.

“You can say it. It's not going to scare me,” I told him softly.

He didn't say a word until I heard a sigh. “It's hard . . . because you smell so nice . . . delicious. It's very tempting,” Conner purred.

The bell rang. Conner and I waited for everyone else to get out of the room. The whispers about Conner and I became louder as people past by our lab table. When there were only a few people left, Conner and I took our things and slowly walked to the door. “Just to be safe, I'm going to be leaving now,” Conner told me when we walked at least five feet away from the door.

“Oh . . . ok,” I mumbled under my breath, the sound of disappointment was in my throat when I didn't want it to be heard at all.

He was staring at me. I could feel his black eyes over my shoulder. Next thing I knew, his hand was on my waist. He pulled me towards me and kissed me on my head. “It's all for protection. I don't want to lose my control when you're next to me,” he whispered in my ear.

My face glowed it's red color. Conner moved in front of my and hugged me close to him that I was being crushed. “That red color of your cheeks is lovely,” he told me lovingly. I looked up to him, drowning into the depths of his eyes. I was trapped within them, there were no windows or doors to escape out of his gaze.

“I'm probably making it much worst for you,” my voice trembled.

“You are. But it's my fault that I'm making you feel the way you are. I'll leave you alone for now,” Conner told me before letting me go and walking away.

I tried to hide the emotion of sadness. Watching him walk away was making my insides bleed. I wanted to die at that moment, I wanted to bury myself in the wet dirt and suffocate myself. Conner turned to me and saw that there was sadness in my eyes so easily read that he disappeared and reappeared in front of me. He then gave me another hug. “I just can't stand seeing you like that. You're so damn cute that I can't leave,” he told me. He lifted my chin and pressed his marble lips onto mine. His lips then parted from mine and walked away.

The day passed by faster than you could ever imagine. After walking out of my last class, even though I knew Conner wasn't going to be there waiting for me, I felt nothing but despair. I drove back home without a word, lonely silence and depression controlled me.

Nightfall had fallen sooner than usual. I fell onto my bed, watching the drops of rain slide on my window. I felt like beating my head to the wall to form a hold the shape of a skull. I closed my eyes, my vision became blurry, and fell into darkness once more.

I opened my eyes again. My surrounding was different. I wasn't in my room anymore. I looked around, finding myself in a black forest. I heard something crashing from the distance, the ocean hurling itself against the rocks of the cliffs. I began walking through the forest, trying to find the ocean to admire it's surrounding. But the crashing sounded far away each step I took to come closer to it. Next thing I knew, I heard footsteps not to far from me. I stopped where I was and turned to the crackling of the branches under one pair of feet. I take a slow step to avoid making any noise closer to the lonely being in those woods of darkness.

Once I came to the right spot to spy, I stopped behind thick bushes and pushed them apart to get a closer look. There were two people, not one. I couldn't see their faces or what they were wearing. I could only tell that it was a man and a woman. The woman looked like she was my age just from looking at her features. The woman was leaning on one of the trees while the man was staring at her. I watched them carefully, noticing the man was caressing the woman's cheek and sliding it down to her neck. He moved closer to her and kissed her softly against a tall tree. His lips parted from her's and moved his lips down to her neck. She leaned her head back a bit as she allowed his lips to glide over her throat. I watched the man carefully to see if he was going to go any further than he was now.
I then noticed that he stopped where he was, his hands gripping onto the girl's arms. Her mouth was slightly open, she then spoke “No . . . no.” She then began twitching and vibrating in a violent way. Once I blinked, the woman was gone and in her place was a black beast that looked like the size of a bear. The black beast growled at the man and the roared at it. The man hissed back at the beast fearlessly. The beast leaped at the man, but the man disappeared and reappeared next to me. Once I turned to him, he was gone and on the side of the beast.

The beast roared at the man again. He stayed where he was, keeping as still as a rock. The beast leaped at the man a second time, that time, pinning him to the ground. There was nothing but silence, their eyes locked onto each other. I then smelled the scent of salty water, tears. Tears were falling down to the man's neck, I could tell since the moon was shining on him. I still couldn't tell who it was, and yet I felt like I knew the man, including the beast above him.
The beast beared it's teeth at him. Another tear ran down to his neck. “I'm sorry,” he whispered, before the beast opened it's mouth and lunged its head at his face.

“No!” I screamed, sitting up on my bed, cold sweat all over me from head to toe. A dream, it was all a dream. It felt familiar, but at the same time new. The couple were familiar to me in a way, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

I looked out the window, watching the rain drown the glass. I was thinking that it rained here all the time because someone, like God's child, was crying. I thought that someone was miserable like I was. Even worst, I felt bad for the two couples that became the blood bath show in my dream.

I got out of my sheets and changed into black sweats. I pulled my hair back in a ponytail, brushed my teeth, and washed my face. The woman and the man kept me in a daze, I didn't even realize it was early in the morning. I tip-toed my way downstairs as quietly as I could to avoid waking up all the girls.

I walked into the kitchen, took an apple, and took a huge bite of it. The sour taste made me pucker up my lips together like a fish. I took a smaller bite this time as I sat on the counter watching the drops of rain. I became calm and relaxed as I listened to the drumming sound. Since it was the weekend, I felt like doing something outside.
After I finished my apple, I went upstairs and changed into jeans, a dark blue sleeved top, black converse, and put on my old letterman cheerleader's jacket. I kept my hair in a ponytail, to give my face some fresh air. I didn't put my make-up on, so I wouldn't look like a wreck after walking out in the rain.

I walked out in the rain, towards my car. I wanted to get out of here for a little while, to get my mind off of Conner not being with me. I got in my car, started it, and drove away as I listened to “Thnks Fr Th Mmrs,” by Fall Out Boy.

Chapter 7: Enemies

As I drove to an unknown world of my mind, I sang along with the songs I listened to on the radio, or changed the station to find another song I liked that had a guitar in the background. Anything but hip hop or rap will make me happy.

I found myself driving into a dirt road, finding two different paths to explore. One side was a regular hiking road and the other was a road that led to a thick wall of trees, the path to it hasn't been worn by any travelers, or at least less travelers than the regular dirt trail. I gout of the car, the rain dripping on my face. A few drops of rain were trapped on top of my eye lashes, but I didn't really care. I wanted to forget that Conner wasn't going to be with me for the weekend.

I looked at the unworn path in a gaze. It was tempting to get lost in a world that no human being has explored. I took a step toward the dark forest, I wasn't thinking of what I was doing, but I did it anyways. As I took a step under the trees, the rain began to calm down. I heard the heavy down pour over me, a few drops have escaped, but it was dry enough for people to be happy about.

As I walked through the wet grass and past the ferns, I listened carefully to my surrounding. I liked how the rain sounded over the trees, the smell of the grass and moist air, and calming feeling and aroma of the trees.

I walked what seemed like forever. My mind wandered, leading me to think about how fast time would be if Conner was with me. I slapped my head and listened to the sound of my feet mushing in the mud and grass. I had the feeling that something was around me, something evil. The aura around me was telling me that I was in that trail at the wrong time.

As I walked down the path for two hours, the rain began to die away. The sun was peaking out from the trees, only a few drops that were trapped in the leaves were leaking off the tips. It wasn't too sunny, but it was sunny enough that it could last a few minutes. I took another few steps before I realized there was a light peaking through the thick trees from the distance.

I quickened my pace, barely jogging to the light. The light got bigger as I paced closer. I got there in the matter of minutes. Once I reached close enough that I could see clearly, I was in awe. Intrigued and happy inside.

As I took a step closer, everything I thought of a moment ago have past away. The light sun rayed on the small and perfectly round meadow The wildflowers of the brightest colors shined beautifully in the sun's solar light. I knew this place was somewhat special. Beautiful, peaceful, mysterious, quiet, and sometimes . . . lonely.

I walk to the middle of this peaceful place, without disturbing the holy silence. I listened carefully, nothing.
I then heard something that made the grass sway from behind me. I snapped my head to the sound that broke the silence. There was nothing. I heard another sound that made the grass move, I repeated what I did before.

Nothing.

I heard a snarl all around me, surrounding me, I was trapped. I stared where I was, frozen to the spot I stood in the entire time. My heart was throbbing, forcing it's way out of my chest, cold sweat running down from the side of my face. “Con . . . Constantine,” I thought to myself. Fear was taking over me, the shock glued me to the wildflowers and becoming visible in the sun.

I heard the grassing swaying towards me from every direction. It sounded like something big was coming to me. I swallowed out of fear, a frog caught in my throat. As the steps became louder, my heart would beat faster.

It was close. From the shadows the trees made from the sun, four large creatures walked into the sunlight, bearing their teeth at me, and snarling me. I looked behind myself, finding five more of the same specie. I looked back at the biggest one, which was right in front of me. The large bear-like creature came up to me and sniffed me from head to toe. Whenever it inhaled my scent, my hair would be sucked towards his nose and the hair on the back of my neck would stand up.

The beast shook it's head and then snarled at me. It had confusion and anger in it's eyes. There was a snarl from behind me. The beasts began roaring at each other, like they were having a conversation that I couldn't understand. The growling then stopped, all of them turned to one spot just behind me and bared their teeth viciously at whatever was behind me. One of the beasts jumped over me, I then heard roaring and growling, like a coyote was fighting over a rabbit.

As I stood there, listening to the snarls and growling, a hand touched my shoulder that made me squeal and fall over to the ground. “Woah don't die from a heart attack,” a unfamiliar voice told me.

I looked up to the being that scared me half to death. “Who are you?” my voice trembled.

“Why are you here?” he asked me.

“I was just here to walk around and get out of the house,” I answered him, he helped me get off the ground.

His hair was a brownish red color and messy. He had the most beautiful God like face that I have ever seen. It was hard to believe that he was real or maybe even human. But he didn't seem human like everyone else . . . except for Conner and his family. The boy seemed at least a year older than me, but in his topaz colored eyes seemed to have some wisdom in them. He was pale and lean like Conner. I couldn't imagine who was more gorgeous, either Conner who I love dearly or this boy before me.

He stayed quiet, looking at me seriously. He then looked over at the beasts that were snarling at each other. I followed to where his eye sight went to and thought of what was going through his mind. I didn't notice, but human looking beings were fighting the beasts as furiously as they could. Their strength seemed to match perfectly against one another. Nothing came to me for a while. I didn't understand anything of what the hell was going on. I knew that the human and beautiful creatures weren't human, but the beasts confused me. “You should leave this place. Since one of those things knows your scent, you're not going to be as safe as before,” he told me, pushing me towards where I entered. “Go before they realize you're gone.”

I looked at the fighting monsters for a while before running away. I ran as fast as I could, hoping that the terrible beasts of the darkness wouldn't notice I had left. I tripped a lot from running over logs and large rocks. I even cut myself as I fell. I didn't know where I was going, but I didn't care, as long as I was away from those things, I' ll be safe for at least a little while.

I got to my car, cuts and bruises decorated me all over. I started the car without giving myself a breather and drove away as fast as my car could go. I took deep breathes as I drove through the maze of trees, I turned the radio onto a station of calming music. It turned to an unfamiliar song, but it was soothing enough that my heart began to slow down from the heart attack moment I had in the beautiful spot I discovered.

I was thinking of that boy that got my butt out of that situation. I wanted to know why that boy bothered to save me when he didn't even know me. “Tori, whats wrong?” the familiar soft voice hummed in my mind in concern.

“Yes,” I answered back to him. “I'm ok. There's nothing you need to worry about,” I tried to calm him.

“I've felt your fear for a while, and I —”

“You knew I was in danger and you said nothing about it!?” I interrupted and screamed at him.

“I didn't know whether you were watching a movie and got scared about it or if it was real fear for your life,” Conner told me. “When your heart was beating far too long, I knew something was wrong.”

“I called your name and you said nothing,” I teared up.

“I thought it was a way to talk to me again since we didn't speak last night, so how would I know if you really needed me?” Conner's voice made my mind go blank, it was nice and soothing.

“Would I use your real name if I wanted to talk to you? I use your name if I actually felt fear, or if I wanted to think of something nice before I died,” I said to him as I wiped my tears. I forgot to use my mind to communicate with him, but wither way he could still hear me.

“I'm just glad you're okay. Screw eating more than I should, I'm coming back,” he said, in anger and excitement.

“No, don't. You need to eat more. If my scent is too tempting for you, then you should eat more if you really want to keep me alive. I'm not afraid of you drinking my blood, but I'm saying what you'd tell me in your words,” I lectured him.

“Tori . . . I love you. And I do want to keep you safe, I can last a few months without hunting. I want to secure you both ways,” Conner mumbled as if he was whispering in my ear.

I kept quiet, I knew he loved me, but it still bothered me that he didn't help me out of how to escape if the boy with the messy brownish red hair didn't save my butt. “What's going on in your mind now?” Conner wondered.

“I was thinking . . . did you send a group of vampires to save me? Since luck is never on my side and things like that would never happen.” I told him as I took a turn to my road.

“What? You didn't get out of there on your own?” he sounded confused.

Thoughts began to swim in my mind. “You didn't send a clan of vampires to get me? They just came naturally?” I asked him.

“I didn't send anybody. Can you describe one of them?” Conner asked me.

“I was only focusing on one of them. He had messy brown and red hair, he was pale as you, topaz colored eyes, I think he was at least your height or shorter, I couldn't tell. And he was as beautiful as you are,” I described.

“Oh! That was Edward Cullen. He's an old friend of mine. I haven't seen him in years,” Conner said.

“So he's safe to be around?” I asked him out of curiosity.

“Yea he is. His entire family are vegetarians like me. I follow their way of life. Thats who inspired me to give up on human blood,” Conner confessed.

“Oh wow. So you like them a lot,” I smiled. I was beginning to feel a lot better.

“I do. If it weren't for them to break my habit, you wouldn't be here,” I heard the smile in his voice.

My face formed a smile as well. I drove in silence until I said “I love you,” to him.

“I love you too,” I replied back. He stay quiet again. I could tell that he felt uncomfortable, just from the feeling.

He and I have spoken to one another in our minds for weeks, I could feel the emotions he was feeling.
“Uncomfortable?”

“Yea. Something is on your mind. Would you like to talk about it?” Conner asked with patience.

“I think I know what's bothering you. I had a dream last night that kind of made me jump.”

“What is it about?”

“Its a couple. But it wasn't a normal human couple. It was too dark for me to see, but I could tell that one of them is a vampire. And the woman disappeared. In her place was a huge beast . . .” I stopped there. Thinking of the clan of beasts that nearly killed me back at that spot. “She was a werewolf . . . they were in love with one another. But once the man bit her neck, she became a werewolf and killed him,” I told him, my voice was so quiet that I couldn't even hear myself.

“Thats a dream that doesn't happen often. There's probably a sign. Like a prophecy of some sort that will happen later on,” he told me.

“It's probably not even possible. Werewolves don't exist . . . do they? I mean, there's vampires, so are there other creatures of the darkness?” I asked him. I was already at the front of the house, so once I parked in the lot, I walked to the front and locked the door behind me.

“There are werewolves. They're the natural born enemies of the vampire. A treaty was made between them years ago. La Push is where vampires are not allowed to go. I broke the treaty, but surprisingly no one of the werewolves caught us. But if those beasts were there, I would have started a war, they'd also try to kill you too since they'd find a human with someone like me,” Conner explained when I reached my room.

“I thought vampires didn't have enemies . . . besides humans. But werewolves, I thought they'd be in a different story line,” I told him.

“Nope . . .” he stopped there. I heard the door behind me open then arms was wrapped around me. “We have enemies,” he whispered in my ear.

I looked back at him, he had a smile on his face. His eyes were the dark blue I remembered. I grinned back at him. I turned my torso towards him and gave him a hug. “I missed you,” I mumbled under my breath.

“I missed you too. There were a lot of animals around, so I got the chance to hunt more so I could see you earlier,” Conner smirked before kissing my head.

“So you're not going to be a crank box right?” I let go and looked up.

He rolled his eyes. “ “I won't be a crank box”,” he repeated before chuckling.

I laughed with him and hugged him.

“Do you want to do anything today?” Conner asked.

“After what happened to me!?” I yelled.

Conner stared at me. I could tell he was wondering my mind to find something. And I knew what he was looking for. I shrugged and answered, “Ok,” before laughing.

He smiled and laughed with me. He took my hand and walked me down the stairs. The front door open, and in came bronze colored hair.

“Edward!” I heard Conner yell. Before I knew it, Conner was in front of the boy and shook hands with him.
“It's great to see you Constantine,” Edward's voice hummed around the walls. Edward's eyes shifted to me, his eyes looked kind and wise. But his eyes didn't seem to have enough wisdom like Conner. Conner looks over at me then to Edward.

“Right. Edward, this is my―”

“Girlfriend . . . I see that,” Edward interrupted him.

Conner hesitated for a moment. Conner looked into my eyes, he was walking through my mind again. He was searching for why Edward and I seemed comfortable around one another.

“There's nothing between us Conner. I promise,” I told him.

“You don't have to worry. You already know that I have Bella,” I heard a voice in my mind, but it wasn't Conner's.

“Wtf!” I screamed in my mind. I then heard Edward laughing. I looked over at him, who was trying to catch his breath from laughing. “That was you!?” I yelled at him.

“Maybe,” he chuckled.

“Bastard!” I yelled before punching his arm.

“You know that's not going to hurt me . . .” Edward said teasingly, enjoying my reaction and how I was playing around with him.

“It won't hurt me but at least I'm feeling better,” I told before giving him one last punch.

Conner was laughing most of that time, when he stopped he said “I should of got you two together a long time ago. You guys are fun to watch.”

Edward smiles at Conner. “She is fun to tease,” he chuckled before smiling at me. I looked away seriously and crossed my arms. “So I heard you guys are going out to do something?” Edward asked.

“Yea. You wanna join?” Conner offered.

“Am I allowed to bring Bella?”

“Yea. She's welcomed to come,” Conner answered in enthusiasm.

“I'll see you guys later then. It was nice seeing you Constantine,” Edward looks over at me. He nodded to me. “It was nice meeting you Tori,” he said before disappearing.

“He definitely changed when he found Bella,” Conner shook his head with a smile.

“He was never like that?” I asked.

“Well, he's still the same. But there was loneliness in his eyes before Bella came along. And when he left her a year ago, he became emo. He traveled a lot, but I could feel that he was depressed inside. He wanted to go back to her. When he heard that Bella killed herself, he went to Italy to go and get himself killed by the Volturi. Even though he said he didn't love her anymore, he was willing to go to them to join her in hell, or wherever he thought she may be. But when he was convinced the Bella was alive, he didn't die. But the Volturi were after Bella,” Conner explained.

“Well, they seem fine now. Since he's here and he asked if he could bring Bella along. And how come they wanted her? She's human isn't she?” I asked.

“Yes, she is. But she's different compared to other humans. Edward is a mind-reader, but he can't seem to read her mind. Any power that has to do with the mind doesn't work with Bella. If Edward decides to change her, she'll be stronger than any of us.”

“She's that unique?” I asked.

“Yea,” he was then interrupted by a knock on the door.

I walked over to the door, and there stood Edward and I guessed, Bella. “You're Bella right?” I asked.

“Yea. Are you the new vampire lover?” Bella asked.

She and laughed. “Yea, I guess you can call me that.”

“Are we all ready?” Edward asked us.

“Yea. Car, or should we just run there?” Conner asked.

“Excuse me . . . but girls like us can't run as fast as you guys,” I told them sarcastically.

“You already know that you're riding on our backs,” Conner pretended to glare at me.

I stuck my tongue out playfully. “Yes, I know that.”

Edward wrapped his arm around Bella's waist. He was staring at me until his neck couldn't turn any further. We all walked to the car in silence.

Chapter 8: The Dream

“I'm driving,” I heard Bella.

“But your reflexes are slower than ours,” Conner complained.

“Yes. But I'm afraid that someone might get in your way and kill the humans. Besides, I'm more concerned about Tori,” Bella told Conner.

“Stop treating me like a kid guys. I'm not that young compared to you guys,” I said grimly.

“Lets see . . . you're sixteen, Bella's eighteen, Edward's nearly one hundred and ten, and I'm two hundred and seventy-three. Yea, you're younger than all of us,” Conner teased.

I heard Edward chuckling, I glared at him. “For one thing, I'm sixteen and a half, I'll be turning seventeen soon. So I'm catching up,” I said seriously.

“To my human age, but you're still younger than all of us,” Conner teased, placing his hand on my head. I then swiftly slapped his hands multiple times. Bella and Edward were laughing.

“I'm not sure it's me and Tori. I think it's just Tori that makes the day brighter with her personality,” Edward wiped a tear.

“She wasn't always like this you know,” Conner said, wrapping his arm around my neck gently.

“I can already see that in her mind,” Edward smirked before opening the front seat for Bella.

“Stop reading my mind!” I screamed, placing both hands on my head. “Is privacy even a word in my world now?” I asked sarcastically. Conner opened the back seat for me, I slide onto the seat with Conner following after me.

“Oh yea, guys get ready. Tori's gonna fall asleep any minute now,” Conner badly acted like the end of the world was coming.

“Huh? Why would she fall asleep?” Bella asked.

“She gets sleeping during a drive. It's been a habit of hers since she was born,” Conner told her.

“Thanks a lot Conner. You're a very nice person to embarrass me,” I growled at him.

I heard Edward trying to hold a snicker while Conner chuckled. I sighed and crossed my arms as I sank into the seat. Conner looks at me, but I ignored him. “Tori?” Conner purred.

“What?”

Conner comes closer and kisses me on the lips. “I love you,” he said.

I couldn't help but blush, or feel my heart trying to jump out of my throat. I looked away while biting my lip.

He snickered. “You know you can't deny me for loving you. And you can't lie to yourself that you love me too.”
I glare at him. “What if I can?” I played.

“Liar. I know what you're thinking. And you're playing hard to get,” Conner's eyes became serious.

We looked at each other seriously, until my lips became a smile and began laughing. “Ok, so I failed at that,” I giggled.

He smiles. “Yea, you really do . . . so tell me something that I like to hear,” he said.

I gently smiled at him. “You mean . . . “I love you,” right?” I asked.

He crookedly smiled at me. “Yea, that one,” he mumbled under his breath before kissing me again.

“Are we bothering you guys?” I asked Bella and Edward.

“Oh, not at all. Just pretend we don't exist,” Bella said sarcastically.

Conner and I laughed. I then yawned. “Oh, she's gonna cash soon!” Conner boomed.

“Shut up Conner!” I yelled, pushing him before closing my eyes. My vision became blurry, all the colors that were visible became darkness.

I opened my eyes again and found myself in La Push. I walked around the cliffs as I watched the waves crashing onto the dark sand. At the distance, right at the scene of the sunset, there was a being standing at the edge of the cliffs. I walked to it, slowly though. As I approached it, it became more clear to see that it was a girl. Once I was at least six feet away from her, I stood at the spot and watched her.

The wind became stronger, the wind blew from behind me, flowing to the girl. The girl twitched and turned to me . . . it was me. I looked at myself like I was looking at a mirror. There was something different about myself. I looked . . . terrifyingly different, I don't know if I looked vicious, or if that face I saw before me was just tragically beautiful. “Come . . .” my other self told me. She raised her hand to me, she smiled to me, showing my pure white teeth. “Join me, you'll feel better,” she told me.

“I don't understand though,” I said. Once I blinked, the background changed again. I was in the same scene as last night.

I turned around, and there lied a bloody body. I held my mouth to keep the screaming. I heard rustling in the bushes, I turned to the sound, and there the girl that disappeared was in front of me. I still couldn't see her face, but she looked familiar, but also a stranger to me. She had tears in her eyes, she was holding her stomach. I just looked at her, wondering if she was sad that someone she loved was dead. “Please . . .” she gave out a breath.

“What should I do?” she asked me. She then disappeared.

“Ugh . . .” I heard a voice from behind. I turned, the man from the night before was before me. All healed. I could see his face clearly. Seeing his face was what made me wake up from disbelief.

“Tori? Are you ok? Are you among the living?” I heard Conner's voice from the depths of the darkness. I opened my eyes, his gloriously beautiful face was all I wanted to see. “Tori?” he repeated.

“I'm ok. Just a scary dream,” I told him.

Conner took me out of the car, Edward and Bella waiting. We began walking in silence. I rubbed my eyes, I could feel the eyes on me, it kind of bothered me.

“If you guys have to say something, say it,” I snapped sleepily.

“No it's nothing. It's just that you look so tired that it kind of worries us,” Bella said.

“Ok, then.”

“So are we shopping?” Conner asked.

“Got a problem with that?” Bella said seriously.

“Well, its almost the Winter Formal, so of course the girls are going to drag us to the mall to help us choose a dress or whatever,” Edward said.

“Is Winter Formal close already?” I asked when I finished rubbing my eyes.

“Yea. Guess you were too busy to realize it,” Edward answered me.

“That or I'm too oblivious of the world,” I said negatively.

“So are you going?” Bella asked. I heard the excitement in her voice.

“Why? You're not in high school anymore, so how come your shopping?” I asked.

“Oh, I'm not shopping for me. I'm shopping for you. And the guys are helping me drag you into it,” Bella said.
I froze at my spot. “Wait what? No, I'm not going to Winter Formal. Conner didn't even—”

“Just did!” Conner interrupted, showing me the tickets for the dance. My eyes shot wide open and then I glared at him.

“You . . .” I hissed.

Conner laughed. “Yep, you're going. You're going to go and we're picking out a dress for you,” Conner said.
“Conner how could you!?” I yelled at him.

“I did it because you never had a date in a dance back at home,” Conner smiled.

I kept my glare at him. “Come on you “Odd Couple.” We're going to go shopping to find a dress,” Edward said, taking my arm and pulling me.

“Edward!” I yelled.

After a few hours of shopping

It was finally over. Bella chose a lot of dresses that it wasn't even funny. Conner warned Bella about my liking black dresses, so she found dresses like she found it out of a skittles bag. None of them caught my attention, until Conner found a white dress for me. It looked more like a wedding/prom dress than a formal dress at all. I was guessing that he remembered that time when I broke my leg and that he complemented me about be looking prettier in a white dress when I would get married. I chose that dress. And Conner already bought white shoes with a lace to go with it.

“Did you have fun?” Edward asked me.

“It was ok. It was long . . .” I answered as I fell onto the car seats.

“Lie . . . you enjoyed yourself,” he said.

“Shut up . . .” I said in a daze.

Conner laughed. “Stop flirting you two, or I'm taking you out of the car.”

“We're not flirting Conner. Relax,” I said to him. I was falling asleep again, and the car didn't even start.
It was just the same. La Push was the background, it was night, but it looked different for some reason.

I looked to the side and saw the woman looking at the horizon of the sea, she was older, and holding something in her arms. I walked to her, but stopped midway behind a tree. I felt another presence next to me. I looked to my left and saw the man again. I looked at the woman and then the man next to me. “I'll always love you,” he mumbled.

I looked to the woman, there was another man with her. He kissed her cheek and then he looked to what she was holding. I made a guess that it was a child. A new born. I walked to the woman and the man with her to see the child, but I woke up once I was about to take the blanket off the child's face.

I opened my eyes and saw Bella and Edward out of the car then disappeared. “I always wake up at the wrong time to realize what I was about to see,” I mumbled.

“Oh you're awake. Time to get out of the car,” Conner said. I shook my head and got out of the car. “Am I allowed to come inside?” Conner asked me.

“Yea, sure. As long as the girls won't see you,” I said.

Conner laughed. “They won't see me. I'm too fast for their eyes to see,” he said proudly.

“I'll meet you inside then,” I said to him before going inside.

“Tori!” I heard them scream.

“Nothing happened. We just went shopping,” I told them, locking the door behind me.

“The entire day?” Kelly asked.

“I went on a hike in the morning and then shopped the rest of the day,” I corrected.

“Why were you hiking?” Tammy asked.

“I just felt like it. Then I ran into a pack of bears,” I said as I walked up the stairs.

“What!? Bears attacked you?” Chloe screamed.

“No, I ran away when mountain lions attacked. I'm ok,” I said before locking the door to my room.

“They get worried about you easily,” Conner said to me. I looked to my bed and saw him reading a magazine.

I shrugged and fell on my face on the bed. ”Well I am younger than them by a year, so I'm a little sister to them,” I mumbled.

“Am I allowed to spend the night?” he hugged me.

“You're allowed. Just be sure to bail later,” I said.

His body language changed. He was pretending to think, the playful way. “Hmm . . . don't wanna. I think I'll stay so I could see their reaction when they see me hugging you in your bed while you're asleep,” he laughed.

I cracked a smile and then laughed with him. “I guess seeing their reaction will start our day,” I chuckled.

“Thats why I thought I could stay with you. One . . . because I like being with you, and two . . . it's fun teasing people,” he poked my back, to watch my reaction. Nothing happened, he tried again. Nothing. He then slid his finger down my spin, forming goosebumps and then I jumped away from him with a scream.

He laughed and hugged me. “I'm sorry. And I do like being this close so I could see your reaction. I love your reaction, but I'm not doing it to kill you,” he said.

I stayed quiet for a moment. “You should go. How about you get along with Jesse again. You two haven't spoken since I kept your secret,” I said to him.

“Aww . . . do I have to?” Conner asked.

“Yes, you have to. I'm not that important that you should shun them away. You don't always have to make me happy. But what would make me happy is for you to be friends with Jesse again. So go. I'll be okay,” I told Conner.

He stared at me for a while. He kissed me hands and then my lips. “Okay . . . if thats the way that'll make you happy for now, then I'll be friends with Jesse for both of us,” he smiled.

“I'll see you later,” I whispered.

“Yea . . . I'll see you later,” he smiled before running out the window.

I went under the sheets and closed my eyes, I didn't bother to turn the lights off, but it didn't bother me. I thought that I should have so that the girls won't complain about the electricity bill. So I got out of bed and turned the switch. I then heard a growl. I quickly turned my head to the window. There was nothing . . . nothing but darkness.
I slowly walked to the window. I was frightened to know what was waiting outside. I got on top of the desk and stuck my head out of the window. There was nothing out there. I was praying that it was just my stomach that I heard and not an actual growl from something vicious.

I heard the growl again. It wasn't my stomach that was for sure. I looked to the trees, I did see something. I saw red eyes, a few pairs of them, but it was visible. They were all staring at my direction. I decided to get my head out of the window, and lock the door. All the red eyes began running to me. The whole pack had come, why are they after me again?

I stepped away from the window, I locked it, hopefully they won't be stupid enough to break through it. If they unlocked it, then I'm doomed. I thought of running now, but the thought of endangering the girls concerned me. There was no way to escape.

I stepped away from the window and froze a few feet away from the window. I waited for those . . . werewolves patiently. Waiting for those monsters to come and kill me for no reason that I know of.

I heard furious growling on the first floor outside. Why were they coming for me? Why? I was thinking through of what I ever did to get werewolves to kill me.

My eyes widened when I remembered. “Werewolves are natural born enemies of the vampires” was the sentence that made me realize. I'm an enemy of the werewolves for loving vampires. They've come to kill me because I'm around the vampires.

It's getting better and better!!!

Chapter 9: War and a Secret
My gaze was broken when I saw something appear at my window. When I looked up, there was a huge beast staring at me, its teeth full of saliva, its nose wrinkled up, staring at a future bloody victim. Its talons were nailed to the walls of the house. It raised a huge arm and was picking at the outside lock of the window.

I heard the growl from its throat. I was in shock of fear, all I could do was stare at the beast. I waited for it to open the lock, ripping me to shreds. The lock clicked. It slide the window open and climbed into my room. It came up to me, staring down as I looked up at it. It came closer to me as I stepped away from it.

I finally hit my door, I had nowhere to go. The werewolf came to me, its teeth were showing to me. I bet he could see the terror in my eyes. I didn't notice that the rest of the pack came into my room until I was in a room full of thick, dark fur. “Constantine,” I said under my breath.

I couldn't feel his presence in my mind. My mind was locked, he can't read my mind and know that I'm in trouble.
The growling wouldn't stop. I closed my eyes shut, prepared for nails going through my chest and a whole lot of pain. Goodbye Conner, I guess I'm not going to be okay. I love you.

I then felt someone shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes, and there stood a human, not a werewolf. Everyone around me was human again.

“You broke the treaty vampire girl,” the man in front of me said.

“I . . . I'm sorry. It never occurred to me that there was a treaty. Where exactly did I break it?” I asked. I didn't want to endanger Conner as well. I might as well take the punishment.

“You broke it at the cliffs of La Push, the same place where the treaty was made. You just made war with your clan,” he said.

What? My clan? I don't have one. What are they talking about?

“Sam . . . she smells different compared to those blood-suckers. She doesn't smell human, but she doesn't smell like the cold ones or us. Her scent is confusing,” someone said.

“Her scent is different . . . but she sided with those beasts. She broke the treaty, she gets the punishment.”

“She doesn't smell like a pure blood-sucker though. If the being is a pure blood-sucker and broke the treaty, theres war. She doesn't look like any of them or smell like them,” another one of the boys said.

“May I interrupt?” I asked. I finally found my voice when the fear was gone. “What's going on? All I know is that I smell weird and that I broke the treaty. Can anyone point out what the conversation is about?”

They all stared at me in confusion. They all then stared at one another and then to me again. “Wait . . . you're completely oblivious of whats happening?” Sam asked.

“Well yea. I just know that you guys are arguing about me either being a human or a “blood-sucker,” and one of the guys thinks I kinda smell like you guys. So what am I actually? If I don't smell human, then what am I?” I asked. “And will I be the cause of the war between werewolves and vampires?”

“You could be . . . you might be the cause of the war between us. We need to find out what you are though. One of the men here in the pack saw you with one of the blood-suckers. We can't find him since none of us knows what he smells like. But I know what you smelled like. That time at the meadow . . . that's why it was so easy finding you,” Sam said seriously.

“So what are you going to do? Kill me?” my voice cracked.

He cracked a smile and then laughed. “I guess you might say that. Since I don't want you running to your blood-sucking lover, warning him that there's going to be a fight between us and those monsters,” he said. He raised an arm and swiftly jabs at my head. Next thing I knew, I was already on the ground, unscratched. I then crawled away as fast as I could to the window. I jumped out the window, forgetting that I was on the second floor. But when my feet landed and hit the ground, there was no pain.

I ran away to the trees, hoping that I'd lose them in there. But I remembered that Sam knows my scent. He'll find me. “Constantine! Constantine! Help!” I screamed in my mind. I heard the tall ferns moving behind me, they were getting closer. When I looked back, something grabbed me, taking me away from the forest and into a large white room.

I looked around, confused of what just happened. “What the?” I moved my head around and saw Edward next to me.

“Are you ok?” Edward asked me.

“Oh . . . yea, I'm fine. How did you? I called for Constantine though. How did you know I was in trouble?” I asked him swiftly. I didn't catch my breath until I finished the last question.

“Constantine asked me to watch over you. If things got out of hand then I would come and get you. Besides, his mind is a part of my mind, I'm in tune with you when I really don't want to,” Edward explained to me.

“Oh . . .” I took a deep breath, getting all of the fear out of my system.

“Constantine will be here in a second. I just told him that you were in trouble. Your mind wasn't in tune with him when he left you. So he couldn't hear you calling him,” Edward said.

“Tori!” I heard the familiar voice call me.

I looked to my other side and saw Constantine holding my hand tightly. “Tori, I'm sorry. Edward just told me what happened, I'm so sorry that I didn't save you,” he apologized over and over.

“Conner calm down!” I screamed to him in concern. I sounded concern because I was worried that he'd pass out from apologizing. “I'm not dead. At least that's the fact. Besides, it was my fault that I locked my mind away from you. If I didn't, then you would of come for me. They didn't hurt me. Well . . . at least one of them tried,” I stopped.

“One of them tried to hurt you!” that angered Conner.

“Well . . . I could tell in his eyes that he didn't want to. He had confusion in his eyes. All I know is that they were all confused about how I smelled,” I said to Conner.

“They're all high. You smell lovely,” Conner said.

I looked over at Edward. Edward looked away from me. “Is there something you're not telling me?” I asked them.

“They said that we broke the treaty. I'm the cause of the war. And why would they keep me alive, arguing about how I smelled? Is there something wrong with my blood?”

“We're not quit sure. When I first smelled your scent . . . you smelled a little like Bella, but different. If you didn't smell like . . . wet dog, then you'd smell better than Bella,” Edward mumbled.

“So I smell funny to you guys, but also smell good too?” I asked them.

“You'd smell a lot better than Bella, actually. But mostly smell like lily's and roses,” Conner said. “Tell us what happened?”

“First things first, we need to see why the werewolves were confused about her scent,” a voice hummed through the room. We all turned, and there stood a tall, young looking man. I guessed him to be Edward's father that I heard from Conner.

“So you're thinking tasting her blood to observe?” Conner asked.

“That's what I was planning,” Carlisle walked closer to us. He came up to me and knelt next to me. “Do you mind if I prick your finger?” he asked me.

“Won't that bother you?” I asked him.

“No, unless do you want to do it?” he answered then asked.

“I can prick it myself,” I told him. I raised my index finger and jabbed my finger onto one of my teeth. A little bit of blood flowed to the surface of my finger. Carlisle took my finger and lightly sucked my finger. After five seconds of drinking, he licked his lips. I was wondering if he was thinking while he was tasting the after-taste.

After an hour of patience, Carlisle finally called us into his office on to second floor, but he wanted me to wait outside his office.

“It'd very interesting,” Carlisle mumbled to them

“What is it?” Conner asked him anxiously.

“Tori is a new kind of breed. She has mixed blood. It's surprising how her power hasn't awoken,” Carlisle answered Conner.

“I still don't understand,” Conner said. His tone was full of worry, I could hear it clearly.

They seemed to talk loud enough for me to hear, it was hard to believe they wanted to keep this conversation a secret. Footsteps were heard around the corner from where I was. The steps were human, thats all I could tell. I looked over at Bella, who was coming down the stairs.

“Tori?”

“Hey Bella,” I smiled at her.

“Is something wrong?” she asked, running up to.

“No, just a bunch of werewolves trying to kill me. Also, Carlisle, Edward, and Conner are having a conversation about what kind of blood I have,” I told her.

“Werewolves tried to kill you!? And I don't hear anything. Are they in that room?” Bella pointed.

“Yea, they're in this one.”

Bella lightly pressed her ear on the door, she had a confused look on her face, it confused me that she couldn't hear them when they're loud enough for me to hear, like they were talking to me right now. “I don't hear anything,” Bella told me.

I raised an eyebrow. “are you sure? Cause they're loud enough for me to hear,” I said to her.

She looked at me confusingly. “What's your family like?” she asked me.

“They're normal. They divorced and treated me like their child. What's there to say?” I asked.

“No . . . I mean, what are they?” she repeated seriously.

She lost me there. “Um . . . they're human. If they weren't, I would have notice ages ago,” I said.

“What I'm trying to say, is that she's not exactly human. At least . . . she wont be as human as she used to be before today,” Carlisle explained to Conner. “She told you that one of them tried to kill her right?”

“Well, yea. She told me one of them tried to hurt her, but she didn't tell me how,” Conner answered.

There was silence at that moment. “It was Sam,” Edward's voice rang out. He was reading my mind, I could tell. “He was about to stab Tori through her head. And Tori swiftly dodged it,” Edward told them.

“It's not normal for a human to dodge a werewolve's attack, that probably caught them off guard,” Carlisle said.

“She jumped out of her window, and she didn't feel any sort of pain that anyone of Bella's kind could feel. She ran through the forest, it wasn't fast, but pretty fast if you're a human,” Edward said.

“So . . . if she's not human anymore, then what is she?” Conner asked.

“I tasted mostly blood that belongs to a vampire's, and . . . there's a hint of werewolf too,” Carlisle said.

There was silent. The aura of shock was consuming Conner. I was also in shock, there was footsteps coming to the door. The door opened and there stood Edward, staring at me with an unemotional look.

“I'm guessing you heard us Tori?” Edward coldly asked.

I couldn't help but feel like a traitor and feel shame. I was a half breed, I finally learned that I wasn't human. My parents were something else.

“Yea . . . I heard,” my voice cracked. I sounded like I was about to cry. I felt self-loathing was consuming my heart. I sadly glared at Edward before walking away.

“What just happened?” Bella asked Edward.

Edward looked at her. “I'll tell you later,” Edward answered her.

“Tori?” Conner's voice rang around the walls. I heard it, but I ignored it. I walked through the front door and slammed it behind me.

Tears fell down my cheek and onto my red Rolling Stones t-shirt. The black eyeliner was running down my cheek with the tears, but I didn't bother to clean it up. I was a freak. I was stuck between the enemies of the different race. If I went to either of them, they'd shun me away because I had mixed blood that wouldn't be allowed in their world. I was alone.

“Tori!” Conner called to me.

I ignored him again. He was far away, but I could hear him. Soon he'd appear in front of me and try to calm me down.

“Tori,” he called again.

I couldn't help but run. Run away from everything. Run away from everything I learned to love about this stupid place. Run away from the only being I love now and forever.

“Tori,” Conner's voice was calm, he appeared in front of me like he always did. I stopped to my spot so I could run into him. “Tori, let's talk this through,” he told me, taking his hands and grabbing onto the side of my arms.

“You can't do anything about it!” I yelled at him, pushing his arms away from me. “I'm not normal . . . I have the blood of the enemy. I'm not as human as I was, just like Carlisle said. How can you just act like we had an argument and ignore the fact that I'm not a pure-blood?” I asked him. The tears fell and wouldn't stop. I wanted to kill myself for letting him see me cry.

“I don't care. I don't care that you're not human. I don't even care that you have their blood. If you were a gnome, I'd still love you,” Conner said.

“But I'm not a gnome! I'm part werewolf. I have the blood of the enemy!” I yelled.

“Tori!” he screamed. He took my head in between his hands and looked at me in the eyes. “I don't care. So you're part werewolf, that doesn't bother me. It doesn't bother me anymore. So we're natural born enemies, so what? If you are the cause of the war, then I'll fight for you. I love you, and I always will,” he told me calmly.

I stared into his eyes a bit longer then looked down to the ground. “Constantine . . .” I said, gently pushing his hands away from me. “We can't be together. It's not right to any of the vampires and it won't be right to the werewolves,” I said as I walked away.

Conner grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him. “I won't let you go! Even if you think it's wrong, and it is, but I'm gonna not going to pretend that you were never mine and that we never had what we made memories of. I'm not going to act like I never met you and I will not act like your enemy!” Conner scolded.

“I know you won't. I'm not sure which is right though. I don't want to pretend that we were never together either,” I said to him, I couldn't look at him.

“Tori, you're making this too much of a big deal more than it should be. It's not that major, just live life like you did and don't make your blood ruin it. You're just fine, so just go with what we had . . .” Conner said calmly. He gently pulled me and hugged me from behind.

Live life. Just live it all like there's no tomorrow. That's what my mom told me many years ago. Conner was saying that same thing, just not exactly. I don't want to ruin what I have, but the urge to make things right was what was bothering me. I couldn't think of what to. Another drop of my tears fell, I pulled away and hug him back.

“Help me then . . . help me realize that I can live life without making a big deal out of something so little,” I pleaded to him. Conner hugged me lovingly back. He pat my head and then kissed it.

“I'll help you . . . for starters. Just call me Conner like you did before,” his calm voice had laughter in it.

I smiled as my face was buried in his chest. “I can do that.”

“And you won't be a crank box after tonight?” he looked down at me with his crooked smile.

I laughed just from him using my word “crank box,” whenever he used any of my words it just made me smile. “I won't be a crank box,” I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes.

He chuckled and placed his forehead on mine. “So don't worry. If anyone of any clan gives you a hard time, then I'll help you cheer up if they make you sad,” Conner said to me quietly.

“Don't kill them if they do make me sad or cry,” I told him, pretending to be serious.

“Aww . . . pleeeease?” he playfully pleaded.

I giggled from his mood swing. “No, you're not allowed to kill anyone.”

“You're in a better mood,” he whispered to me.

I grinned at him. “You're the reason why I always smile . . . you make me happy for being who are and doing a perfect job at it,” I flashed my teeth at him as I smiled.

Just live life. Ignore the bad things and look forward to the light that is happiness. Nothing evil matters, just do whatever you want as a meteor comes to end the life of the earth. Be free as a bird and go with the wind. Cause trouble, do whatever it takes to be happy and to forget the negative things of this planet. Learn to breath, learn to fly, and you always have to learn to love before you die. Love the one you wish to be happy with for eternity.

Chapter 10

A week after everyone's discovery of my blood in the Cullen House, things have been different between Edward, Bella, and me. Conner still treated me the same as he always have, the only difference with Conner and I was that he would ask if I was feeling angry or thirsty for anything. He was worried about my power awakening while I was out in public, but my answer was always no. I didn't feel any different, I still felt human.

“It's still odd though,” Alice whispered to Jasper. Conner was invited to come to the Cullen House, I was invited too, but not as warmly as they were to Conner. Well . . . they didn't really invite me, but Conner refused to come by if they didn't allow me to come. “Why is Constantine still with her? Even if she has our blood, how can he still be so attached to her when she has their blood,” her voice was cold.

There was little difference with my body and how I worked. I have been a little faster in running and whenever Edward and his family spoke to one another as fast as they should in their vampire speed, I could hear every word. It bothered me of how I could hear them when Bella couldn't and that their lips seemed to go at the same speed to me, but it looked like their lips vibrated to Bella. It was like I had nothing in common with her anymore. Bella still treated me the same way she always have.

Bella and I were sitting on the plank of the stairs on the second floor, looking down at the white floor at the bottom, flailing our feet.

“Why are you still being so nice to me?” I asked Bella.

“Well . . . even if Edward hates it, you're still human. At least you still have your human senses. It's also because I have a friend thats a werewolf, so I'm kind of caught between the two as well. What I'm trying to say is that I'm still going to be your friend, even if it bugs Edward a lot,” Bella answered.

I slightly smiled. “At least thats two people so far. Edward and I seemed like brother and sister when we first met. But since that night, he treats me like I don't exist,” I spoke sadly to her.

“Yea . . . he can get like that. You still have Constantine though. That's important to you right?” she asked, placing a hand on my shoulder.

“Yea, I still have Conner, and thats more than enough of importance to me,” I smiled. “By the way, is Newton still bothering you?” I teased.

“Yea . . .” she said grimly. “He'd come visit the campus and he'd always wonder if I'm doing anything around lunch or after classes,” she said.

I laughed. “You poor child. I mean, you are pretty. So can you blame him? It's not a crime,” I teased.

“It's a crime in my world,” she said seriously.

I looked at my watch and jumped off the plank I was sitting on, falling to the first floor steps of the stairs. I then landed on the steps with grace and looked up with a teasing smile and gave her the peace sign.

“Show off!” she yelled to me. I laughed at her reaction.

“Sorry, I just wanted to see your reaction when I'd do that,” I chuckled.

“Show off!” she screamed again.

I then turned around, smelling Conner's scent. “Hey Conner,” I said with enthusiasm.

“You seem to be get better at the impossible things that Bella couldn't survive through,” Conner smiled and placed his hand on my waist.

“I have to keep reminding myself that I'm not human. I'm slowly changing, so it's best to get used to things now,” I shrugged.

“Well, I just discussed with Carlisle. He said that there is a way to rid the werewolf blood,” he said seriously when we walked out the front door.

“Really!?” I said excitingly. “There's really a way?” I asked.

“Don't get too excited, you'll give yourself a heart-attack,” he laughed. “Yes, there is a way. You already know about vampires being able to transform the people they bite. Well, if any of us bites you, the venom will spread through your body to your heart. It will then replace the wolf blood and become all vampire blood,” he answered me.

“What are you waiting for then? Bite me!” I said and lifted my sleeve from my favorite black jacket.

“Well . . . I really don't want to. Besides, I have transformed a few people, but I really don't want to,” he hesitated. “Besides . . . transforming is a painful experience in a human life,” he said.

“I'm become less and less human each day, whats there to fear of?” I asked.

“Hurting you. Watching you feel the agonizing pain for three days. I would never dream of seeing you feel that pain for so long,” his voice sound sad.

“Hun . . . you don't sleep,” I said sarcastically so I could brighten up the mood.

“That's not the point. If I could dream, I would never dream of seeing you in pain,” he said. “If I ever saw anything like that, I'd go mad,” Conner took my face.

I placed my hands over his cold hands. “Stay with me then . . . if I was transforming and experiencing that pain, stay with me, and I'll feel better. Love prevents and pain, the pain would be forgettable,” I said.

“Even if it is . . . what if I left for an emergency, the pain would come back,” he said. “I don't want you to become like me. Even if you are a little like me, you still have the rights to live life and to see your last sunset when you depart,” Conner looked me into my eyes.

“I . . . don't want to live without you. You've become a reason why I should live. I want to live eternally with you. Watch the stars, see the twilight and the moon pass by with you,” I told him.

“Tori . . .” he took my arms and stared into my eyes. “As much as I want to be with you for eternity, I don't want you to go through what I went through,” he said. “Now lets go. Lunch is going to end soon, so we should get back to class,” Conner told me, as he slid his hand down to my hands. He took my hand and began running through the trees. His speed became faster and so did mine. His speed was a little slower than it normally was though.

“You know you can go faster. I won't mind,” I told him.

“I know that. I'm just afraid that I might go too fast for you. And that I might rip your arm off if I go at normal speed,” Conner told me.

“Just go for it. Try to go at your regular speed,” I said.

He made a sigh of worry, but did as I requested. He increased his speed, his speed was just a tad slower, but it was fast to human eyes.

I took my hand from his grasp and ran at his speed. I could see from the corner of my eye that he was watching me, he had a smile on his face. Just knowing he was smiling made me smile as well.

We reached the school in time, in fact we had a lot of time on our hands. He took my hand again and gave it a squeeze. “Be sure to check your feet,” Conner whispered to me.

“Why?”

“You might feel a little pain in a few minutes. Your human reactions will come to you soon,” he told me.

“Oh ok,” I responded. “Thank you.”

He then hugged me. “Just need to check up on you every now and then,” he told me.

“I'm not a sick puppy, I can care for myself,” I told him as we began walking to Biology.

“Yea, I know. But I do want to care for you. I mean . . . you don't always have to care for yourself. Let other people handle you too,” Conner teased me.

I rolled my eyes. “Yes, but if someone begins taking care of me, I get lazy and begin depending on people too much,” I said. “So I'm gonna be a hard worker and do a lot of work.”

Conner was silent and then took my hand and kissed the side of my head. “You're so cute,” he chuckled to me.

I sighed and looked around, searching for something to distract me from Conner's playful personality. I then saw Dustin with Shawn and Nathan. They saw me too. I waved at them, Shawn waves back, Nathan nods, and Dustin turns the other way, like he didn't see me at all. My heart sank when he turned away. “What did I do to upset him?” I said under my breath.

“Tori?” Conner asked.

I look up to him. “It's just Dustin. He hasn't spoken to me in a week now, it's like he's avoiding me and I'm trying to remember what I did to make him this upset,” I answered to Conner. Conner looked over to Dustin's direction and glared at him. “Don't go over and scold him. I'll talk to him later when I get the chance in Chem,” I stopped Conner from walking over to Dustin.

Conner looked down at me. “You shouldn't let something like that upset you. And you know that I'd go over to the person that would hurt you,” Conner snarled.

“I already know that!” I yelled at him. “Let me deal with it without your help for once please . . . I can fend for myself as well,” I told him.

The bell rang a minute later. “Lets go,” he said and took my hand, pulling me to the Chem lab.

Conner and I took our seats and waited patiently for the rest of the class.

Dustin and the rest of the boys came walking in a while later. I turned my head to look over at him, I haven't realized until when he passed by me that he smelled different compared to all the other humans around Conner and I. I looked over at Conner and saw that his brow was wrinkling, just ready to snarl. “Down boy,” I told him.

Conner looked over at me, his shoulder slowly relaxed and lowered slightly, but his face was still in defense-attack mode. “He definitely smells different compared to the last time I saw him. I'm not sure if the Dustin you became friends with is a part of this world anymore,” Conner whispered under his breath.

“He does smell different,” I agreed. I got off my seat and walked over to Dustin's lab table. “Dustin, is there something that I did to piss you off? We haven't spoken in a week, what's up?” I asked Dustin calmly. Dustin looked at me for a slight second from the corner of his eye and then to the front of the room, completely ignoring me. He was slightly pissing me off, but I didn't want to show that to him. “Dustin did you hear me?” I asked him. Ignored.

“Poke!” Shawn yelled out of random and poked my side. I turned my head fast enough for a human but slow to vampires and gave Shawn frightening glare.

“Do that again and I'll kick your ass!” I screamed at him.

“What do you want Tori?” Dustin finally spoke, his voice sounded angry. I looked over at him and saw that he was staring at me from the corner of his eyes. He did look angry and he seemed to have a craving to break my neck.

“To answer my questions. Why are you avoiding me like I embarrassed you in front of the school. What did I do to piss you off?” I asked him calmly.

“Shut up and get to your seats now!” the professor scolded us. I looked up and then back at Dustin before walking back to my seat next to Conner.

“Anything from your beastly friend?” Conner asked me once I took my seat.

“Nothing,” I responded to him as I looked over at Dustin up in the front. “Wait, why call him beastly?” I asked.

“You're smelling scenes aren't that strong yet and you already know that he's most likely not human. I'm not sure how long he's been this way, but he hasn't been human for a while. Maybe since before we found out about your blood,” Conner answered.

“What does he smell like then, since I'm still trying to figure it out,” I asked. Dustin's scent does smell familiar to me, but I couldn't put a finger on it.

“You'll have to figure that out for yourself, love,” Conner said.

“Aww come' on!” I screamed in my mind.

After an hour and a half of class, I was mostly doodling on my folders and notebooks.

I really didn't have to know anything, the reason why I was the youngest in my junior's class was that I skipped a grade because of my straight A's in middle school. I really didn't even have to be in high school anymore, just a few days ago a professor from Princeton came over to the house and accepted me into the college to become a student there. I declined it though, I didn't feel ready to leave high school just yet, I had the rights to live through a normal life really. The other reason was because I was afraid of leaving Conner. Even though he's smarter than I am, he also declined many colleges just to stay with me, so I did the same for him.

The bell rang a lot slower than usually, maybe because I seemed to be in vampire time and wasn't getting used to my human times anymore. Conner waited for me as I shoved all my books into my backpack. Dustin was the last one in the class besides us, he then passed by and his shoulder shoved Conner's. Conner then glared at him and growled at him. “Conner, heel!” I yelled.

Dustin looked coldly at us before walking out of the door. I sighed and walked out the door with him. “Am I allowed to kill him after you talk to him?” Conner asked me.
“No, you're not. Wait for me at the parking lot if you want to. I'll catch up with you if I cam or if you decide to stay and wait for me,” I said before running after Dustin.

I caught up with Dustin a little sooner than I thought, hoping that no one saw me going as fast as I was just not even a second ago. I was going as fast as vampires would again.

I wasn't used to my powers yet, but I was getting more and more in tune with it. “Dustin,” I called. “Can we talk now?” I asked him.

He slowly turned to me and looked at me coldly. “We can talk for a little while, we still have another class left,” Dustin said.

“It doesn't matter. I don't need to go to school, so I can skip if I want to. Why are you avoiding me?” I asked.

He kept his silence and then said “Lets just say that we shouldn't be friends.”

“But I want to know why,” I demanded.

“I can't tell you. I was there . . .” he said under his breath. “I was there when everyone in those crowds found out about you,” Dustin told me.

“About me . . .” I repeated. My eyes then widened and I then realized what his message was and why he smelled familiar to me. “You're one of them . . . you're a,” I stopped.

“I am one of them. I was with the pack that wanted to kill you. Thats why I can't be around you. You and I are natural born enemies if you've taken sides with those blood-suckers,” he said.

“It's not my fault that I'm one of them. I'd still be a friend if I wasn't what I am. I'm sorry that I have the blood of both sides. I've chosen the side I'm in because I've known them longer and that I didn't know that werewolves would come to kill me, or that you're on their side,” I told him.

“It might be one of those. But it's also because you're afraid of leaving the blood-suckers and that your mate will hate you if you sided with us,” Dustin said to me coldly. “I have to go now. Unlike people like you and your blood-sucking lover, I need to learn more and not skip school because I'm so smart and full of knowledge of the world.” He then walked away from me.

I felt despair inside me. I lost a friend because I sided with the people I love and people who hate me at the same time. I wasn't going to leave the vampires for the werewolves just to earn Dustin's friendship back, but I do want him by my side again. My life kept getting worst and worst each day passes.

Chapter 11

On a Saturday, about a week after my declaration of enemies with Dustin, things got a tad better. The men side of the Cullen family were being nicer to me, finally accepting my freakish blood mixture. The only male that wasn't on my side was just Edward. Rosalie and Alice still weren't taking my side, but whatever. I'm getting along with the men, why should the girls bother me?

My human abilities and appearance were slowly dying away. I became as fast as Edward, my eyes were becoming darker, I've become feverishly warm, my skin became 1 darker, and my strength has multiplied that I actually beat Emmett in arm wrestling. I was still able to walk in sunlight without getting much attention, but I do get people saying that I seem to glow when I'm in the sun.

Jasper's been helping me try to awaken my special ability, but no luck at all. He'd take me outside the Cullen house and try everything that would awaken a power or try anything that would make my senses a little vulnerable. “Anything?” Jasper asked.

“Nothing,” I answered.

“Maybe you don't have a power . . . did you have anger management when you were young?”

“I did a long time ago, I think I had the classes sense I was able to talk.”

“Do you get angry often?”

“Not as much as I used to. I get angry, but it's just a flicker of anger and annoyance.”

“Maybe anger is what awakens it.”

“If I get angry then something might happen?”

“Most likely. Is there anything you don't like that pisses you off?” Jasper asked.

“That's not fair though. You're able to calm a room full of angry lions, I can't get angry when you're around,” I complained.

Jasper shrugged and walked towards me, flinging his arm over my shoulder. “We'll try something.”

Jasper and I walked into the Cullen House. I took my seat on the sofa next to Emmett, whom was reading a magazine on embarrassing moments. “Haha, sucks for them,” his booming laugh erupted. Emmett put the magazine down and smiled at me. “So how was breaking stuff with Jasper?”

“Nothing really happened. We were going at it for a while and nothing happened out of the ordinary.” I answered.

“Ordinary? Have you seen this family? There's nothing ordinary about us?”

“Fair enough,” I grinned. “Have you seen Edward and Bella?”

“Haven't seen them in ages,” Jasper answered.

“It's been a while. Has Alice said anything?”

“Didn't say much to me,” Emmett shrugged.

“Same here,” Jasper sighed.

“She didn't tell you!?” I yelled at Jasper in surprise and shock.

“No, is there something wrong with that?”

“Well . . . it's just that . . . you guys are a lot closer. I'd expect she told you before any of us.”

“All I know is that she definitely won't tell you anything,” Emmett laughed.

“THANK YOU, Emmett,” I said acidly.

Emmett chuckled and stared at a corner. I heard the door open and there Edward walked into the room. “And there he is,” Emmett said.

“Hey,” Edward spoke out, greeting everyone except me.

“Hey,” Jasper called out to Edward.

“What?” Edward stared at Jasper.

“Aren't you going to say hello to Tori?”

Edward looked towards me. “The creature in the jeans? I'll call the exterminator,” Edward said, walking away.

I rolled my eyes and rest my back on the sofa. “Come on Edward. Give her a chance. She hasn't sided with the mongrels so there's nothing to hate her for,” Jasper spoke to Edward.

“She could join them if she wanted to. She's not welcomed in this house. Once an enemy, always an enemy.”

“Dude, come on!” I complained. “I was your friend before you even found out. Even if my scent smelt disgusting to you, you still treated me like a human. A weird one that is.”

Conner then appeared next to me. “Did I miss anything?”

I turned my head towards him. “Oh nothing. Just Edward being an ass to me like normal. Nothing out of the ordinary,” I said sarcastically.

Edward kept his glare at me and I just stared back casually. I knew Jasper was trying to keep his power out my emotional system. He knows that I could control myself mentally. “Why don't you just leave?” Edward spat.

“Because I don't feel like it and that the men side of your family finally accepted me. They're treating me like how they treat Bella. Why can't you at least do the same and grow up?”

“I'm older than you, you have no rights to tell me if I'm immature or not.”

“Immature little brat” I mocked, sticking my tongue out.

Edward bared his teeth to me. I glared at him and kept my stance steady. Edward ran towards me and pushed me to the wall, either trying to choke me or break my neck. “You have no rights mongrel.”

“Hey Edward! Calm down already. Ease your temper a bit, you might kill Tori,” Conner cried.

“One death won't hurt the world.” he snarled. I kicked Edward's stomach, released me before the kick forced him back across the room and hitting the wall. I landed on my feet soundlessly and massaged the mark Edward left on my neck. I kept my anger bottled up inside and kept my blank stare at Edward. Edward lunged forwards, towards me at vampire speed. I then found myself, holding his fists in front of my face and stomach. No pain was inflicted from holding his hard fists.

Edward took his hands away from me, glaring his light golden eyes at me. “Piss off, mutt,” he spoke acidly.

I kept my glare at him, a flicker of anger raging inside me. An earthquake began to shake the house, I then heard the glass window break next to me. Everyone turned their heads toward the sound except me. My anger wouldn't go away, the piano's legs then snapped in half. The trees outside were breaking apart and the walls were forming cracks. Conner was next to me and held me close. My heart calmed down and the rumbling earthquake stopped.

Everyone was looking around the broken looking room, confused and then all turned their heads towards me. “Was all that her?” Edward asked.

Everyone gazed at me, I wasn't paying attention to the stairs I was getting, thinking why my anger suddenly appeared and why everything was breaking around me. “All that could be from her. She's never been angry before, maybe her sleeping emotion was the cause of her ability from appearing. Anger is her power. We all know she won't morph into them,” Conner said. Conner leaded his mouth to my ear and whispered, “We should go.”

I only nodded and Conner led me out the door. I took a deep breath, still zoning out of reality. I woke up a second later, shook my head, and looked up at Conner. “so we ready to go?” I asked enthusiastically, hiding my fear of my anger.

“How about . . . you take the day off from the Cullens' and me today. And go hang out with friends.”

“What? How come?”

“You haven't seen your friends in forever. How about you go do something,” Conner said to me, holding my shoulders and looking me in the eye.

“Are you sure about that?” I asked him, keeping my hold on his eyes.

“I'm quite sure. Now go have fun,” Conner smiled at me. I smiled back and he kissed me on the lips. “Do you want me to carry you home?”

“I think I'll run,” I winked. I turned around and ran as fast as I could, faster than the wind. It took me less than five seconds to get to the front yard of my house. The girls were upstairs, probably braiding each other's hair and doing their nails. I opened the door and walked up the stairs.

“Tori?” Chloe called.

“Yea it's me,” I answered, opening, Chloe's bedroom door.

“I didn't hear you come upstairs. Did you try to walk silently just to scare us?” Tammy smiled.

“I guess you can say something like that,” I smiled back. “Hey, do you guys feel like doing something? Like go out and hang?”

“Really? Constantine won't mind?” Kelsey asked me.

“He's the one that offered me to go and hang out with you guys. I've been with the Cullens and the Burns a lot lately, why can't I just hang out with my best friends?” I stuck out my tongue playfully.

“Thats great. We were all planning on going to La Push today. You up for the beach?” Kelsey asked.

“A day of cloudy beach?” I asked sarcastically and playfully. The girls giggled from my energy being so high I could be hyper. I was thinking if it was a good idea to go to La Push . . . the only area full of werewolves. I was thinking of werewolves coming to the reservations just to come and try to make me go alone with them for them to get the chance to kill me. I was thinking that they might not get too angry at me, I'm not a full Cullen or Burns. And I don't drink blood . . . at least not yet, so what the hell? I'll go. I then looked at them, “yea, I can go for it.”

It took us fifteen minutes to get to the reservation. When Tammy parked her 1977 Camero, I had a good view of the people who were already there. Nearly everyone in my classes of the entire senior year was there. Even if I was sixteen and a half, I skipped a year to join the upperclassmen.

I spoke to few people that were friendly to me, a lot of girls who envied me for hanging out with the Cullens and Conner's family. They all asked me what they were all like, I lied with a few things and told the truth about their personality and their hobbies.

The green fire crackled around the round circle of rocks, like the fire was contained in a barrier to stay inside the circle. I stared at the fire, imagining figures dancing in the fire like fairies. After I stared at the fire for a moment, I looked up and noticed the sky has gotten darker and the group became bigger. When I saw Dustin and Sam in the group, I realized the werewolf pack has joined the pack. They haven't sniffed me out yet, obviously with this many people around me, it must be confusing.

I kept myself hidden from them all. I walked under a large tree, into another group, hiding myself. I looked at the entire pack in front of me and breathed with relief that the pack hasn't seen me yet.

I then smelt something that made my nose wrinkle up a bit. I realized something was behind me and I didn't even know it until then. “Who are you hiding from?” a husky voice asked me.

I turned my head towards the voice and found my eyes locked to black eyes and kind face. “Um uh?” was all I could get out of my throat. I couldn't find my voice once my eyes were locked into his.

He laughed out how I was speechless and asked, “whats the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or did a wolf get it first?” he joked.

I swallowed and answered, “neither. You just caught me off guard.” I looked back at the rest of the pack and then back to him. “Won't the pack care that you're talking to someone like me?” I wondered.

“They can't smell you yet. If you stay with the group then they'll wont know,” he smiled. He raised his hand in front of me. “I'm Jacob.”

I slightly smiled back. “I'm Tori if you didn't know. So anything interesting happen to you?” I asked him, trying to start a conversation and trying to force the thought that I was siding with the vampires while a werewolf was right in front of me.

“Well, the party right now and someone of your race being here.”

“I'm not fully like them. I haven't tasted a drop of it yet.”

“Are you at least a little thirsty?” Jacob asked in curiosity, his head level to me and his face inches from mine.

“No. I'm thirsty for a Coke though,” I teased.

He smiled and chuckled a little. “No sudden cravings?”

“I have a craving to just throw a confetti egg at your head, does that count?”

He laughed a little louder. “Well, I guess your not that dangerous, theres nothing to be mad at you for though . . . even if you are the cause.”

I rolled my eyes and sighed. “Yes, I know that. I didn't know then. Can you blame me for not knowing what the hell was going on and then get a huge group of guys in my room telling me what I did?” He opened his mouth, just stared at me and then closed his mouth again. “Thats what I thought.”

“Do you wanna go out for a walk?” he asked me.

I turned around, checking the pack and my house mates. All three of them smiled and gave me thumbs up. I only know that they had a little crush on someone named Jacob, I guessed they mean the one next to me I just shrugged and they mouthed for me to just go for it, not sure what they meant, but whatever. I turned to Jacob and shrugged. “Sure, I guess.”

Jacob smiled and gestured to me to start ahead. I walked past him, feeling nervous and stupid at the same time. I was thinking to myself what I got myself into. What if he was just trying to be friendly and then trick me, taking me to my death spot. “You're not like them,” he started.

“Huh?”

“Your not like the Cullens I mean. You still have your human side and thoughts. You think like Bella from what I've seen. You even act like her,” he said to me, looking at the sand of the beach as we walked next to one another. I probably looked like a dwarf next to him.

“I guess. I haven't completely forgotten the human in me. I don't want to be completely like something else and give in to instincts,” I answered honestly, staring up at him.

“I understand that . . . it's already happened to me,” he said, finally looking down at me.

“You didn't want to be like this . . .,” I just said, tried to make it like a question and failed.

“No, you probably didn't want to be like the way you are either, right?” he asked.

“Well . . . I was shocked to find out and at first I didn't want to be caught in between. Confused of what to do and fearing that both sides would hate me. I was right about that, but I learned to get over and accept the person I was born as.”

He shrugged and looked at the crashing ocean. “It's kinda cool how you accept the person you've become, while I loath myself.”

“Self-loathing is bad for your health, try to live it,” I said calmly.

He looked down at me again with a smile. “You're such a child it's funny.”

I blushed in anger and confusion. “How am I a child?”

“Well, one . . . your younger and me and, two . . . you're trying to show me the positive road thats impossible for me to see,” he laughed. I groaned and stamped away from him as fast as I could. He caught up with me and chuckled. “Sorry, I just wanted to see your reaction. I heard you had a funny reaction to nearly everything.”

It then began to rain on us. I looked up and the rain fell on my face and hard as someone hitting a pillow at my head. Jacob took my wrist and pulled me towards the hills at the reservation. He was laughing on the way there and joined him in laughed too. I did have a little fun and I got to get along with a werewolf, at least I was happy about it.

When Jacob and I got up to the reservation, everyone ran to their cars and drove off, except for Tammy's Camero, everyone was waiting for me. I laughed and turned to Jacob. “That was fun,” I chuckled.

“Sure sure,” he sighed happily. The rain fell to his hair and the droplets fell from the tips of his hair.

“I'll see ya later,” I waved at him goodbye as I began walking to the car.

Jacob then hugged me from behind softly and kissed me on the head. “I'll see you soon,” he whispered to me. He let go and walked away from me. The kiss took me by surprise and I was also confused at the same time. What just happened? Did I miss something while I was hanging out with him?

I was just hoping Conner didn't see what just happened, I was a little scared about what would happen the next day. And what did Jacob mean about soon? It was like he was planning on seeing me like tomorrow or some other day. I shivered at the thought of Jacob and Conner glaring at each other. Conner for seeing the kiss I imagined from Jacob and Jacob just glaring because he hates vampires.
