Twilight Saga

Chapter 13

It's been a boring day at school. Bella and I met up at my locker before going to lunch. We talked a little bit as I put my stuff in my locker before heading to the cafe.

As Bella pushes through the doors. She glances over at the Cullen table, Edward with his siblings. He doesn't look at her. Anger and determination set in again as Bella and I joins Eric, Jessica, Mike and Angela. She drops her book bag on a seat as we get there.

I wasn't going to get in line just yet, it was long. So I waited and listened to their conversations.

"La Push, baby. You in?" Eric asked us as we got to the table.

"Should I know what that means?" Bella asked.

I rolled my eyes at her. Such a girl. I thought to myself. I was getting ready to explain that it was a beach where Jake and them lived when Mike answered her.

"La Push beach, down on the Quileute rez. We're all going after school. Big swell coming in." Mike told her.

"And I don't just surf the internet." Eric said standing up acting like he was surfing.

"Eric, you stood up once. On a foam board." Jessica said rolling her eyes.

I chuckled along with Angela. "There's whale watching, too. Come with." Angela said.

"La Push, baby." Eric said again.

"I'll go if you stop saying that." Bella said before getting up to get her food.

I shook my head at Eric before getting up myself. I walked over to get in line as Bella went to the salad bar. As I was standing in line, I saw that Edward had gotten up and walked over to her. That's when I turned around and ran into Emmett.

"Man, don't do that." I said.

"Sorry, thought you saw me walk over here." He told me.

"No, I was watching my sister talking to your brother."

"Oh," he said then laughed a little. So you wanna come over after school again. We can hang out, I don't know play some video games."

"Actually, I have plans. Bella and I are going to La Push beach with a group of friends. Why don't you come along. We can walk the beach and talk." I had offered.

"Naw, I don't do the beach. It's not my type of thing. At least that beach. It's too crowded for my taste." He said.

"Oh, okay." I said as I paid for my food then went to my table.

Once I got to my table, I just sat down when Bella had joined me a few seconds later. The boys were away getting their food as Jessica brought up about what did Edward want with Bella.

"So what did Edward want Bella?" Jess asked.

"To talk." Bella said.

"Oh, it seems he's taking a liking to you." Jess said.

"Yeah, I suppose." Bella said.

"And the big one, Emmett. He seems to be liking you as well Kat. I heard he asked you to sit with him and his girlfriend the other day when we went on our field trip."

"Yea, he did. They're actual nice. I went to their house that day after school too. I hung out with his girlfriend mostly. I really like her. She's into fashion." I had said.

"Yeah, their adopted mother has a clothing store in Port Angeles." Angela said.

"Yeah, I know. They told me. I was thinking maybe this weekend I'd go there and look at what they got." I had said.

They nodded then went on talking about something else. I had this feeling that Jessica was feeling a little jealous that Bella and I were talking to the Cullens' or the fact that they're talking to us generally.

After school we all went to La Push to go to the beach. It was warm in town but once we got close to the water it was freezing, but Mike, Tyler, Jessica and others suit up for a surf. Eric hangs with them. Bella and I wanders by the driftwood with Angela, who takes photographs.

"I keep thinking Eric's going to ask me to prom, then he just... doesn't." Angela said.

"He asked both of us but we turned him down." I told her.

Angela looked over at me. "He did?"

"You could ask him. Take control. You're a strong independent woman." Bella said. I nodded at what Bella said.

"I am?" She asked.

"You are, Angela." I said just as someone had yelled out our names.

"Bella! Katie!" It was Jacob.

We looked up to see three Quileute boys approaching the group; Jacob Black, Sam and Embry. Bella and I smiles at Jacob and Embry.

"Guys, this is Jacob. Are you stalking me?" Bella said jokingly.

"You're on my rez, remember? You guys surfing?"

"Definitely not." Bella and I said at the same time.

"Hey Embry." I said walking over to him.

"Hey Kat." He said side hugging me.

"Oh this is Embry. The one you were seeing for awhile." Bella said messing around.

I started blushing when she had said that. The one name Sam chuckled some.

"Keep them company. Their dates bailed." Jessica said.

"What date?" Eric asked being nosey.

"Bella invited Edward and Kat invited Emmett." Jessica said.

"We were just being polite." Both Bella and I said.

"I think it's nice they invited them. No one ever does." Angela had said.

"Because Cullen's a freak." Mike said.

"You got that right." Sam said.

"You know them?" Bella asked just as I had said. "Takes one to know one Mike."

Embry chuckled as Sam spoke. "The Cullens don't come here."

Jacob shoots Sam a look, shakes his head. Bella registers this, then she casually pulls Jacob aside.

"You want to go look at tide pools? Kat you and Embry wanna come along too?" Bella offers an awkwardly flirtatious smile. Jacob grins, infatuated. Both I and Embry nodded. As we head toward the water looking out to sea for whales. The surfers are out on the waves.

We all talked and joked around a little bit. Bella trying to flirt her way with Jacob was kinda funny. Both Embry and I laughing at what she was doing to the poor guy. Bella would look back, over her shoulders to glare at me which only made me laugh even harder where I had belled over in fits of laughter. Embry had to hold me up a couple times before falling over to the ground.

So, what did your friend mean about the Cullens not coming here?" I heard Bella asked Jacob.

"Oops. Caught that, huh?" Jacob said chuckling. He moves closer to her, lowering his voice for mock-secrecy. "I'm not supposed to say anything." Jacob said.

Embry and I moved a little closer to them. I wanted to hear about this. Bella gave him her best alluring smile.

I can keep a secret..." Bella said.

"Yea, we can keep a secret." I added.

Jacob laughing. "It's just an old scary story. Did you know the Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves?"

"Like fur, fangs ... doggy breath?"

Jacob chuckles. Bella smiles and prompts him to continue...

"So the legend about the Cullens is..." Bella and I asked.

"Well, they're supposedly descended from this, like..." jacob started saying in a spooky voice. " "enemy clan." ... But they claimed to be different, so we made a treaty with them."

"Didn't they just move here?"

"Or just moved back."

"Riiiight. So what was this treaty?" Bella asked.

Jacob started whispering. "If they promised to stay off Quileute lands, we wouldn't expose what they really were to the pale-faces..."Jacob pauses dramatically --Bella shivers.

"AAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!" A girl had screamed.

Both Bella and I jumped at the bloodcurdling scream, as Angela runs past, chased by Eric waving a dead crustacean. Jacob smirks and starts back to the group.

I turned into Embry when I heard the scream. He hugged me to comfort me.

"Wait... what were they really?" Bella asked.

I turned to look at her like she was nuts in asking something like that. 'What are they?' What are you even saying. I thought to myself.

Jacob started laughing. "It's just a story, Bella."

"Well that was a good story. I got goosebumps now." I had said.

Jacob and Embry laughed.

The guys walked us back to the others. It was time for us to go.

When we got home, I started thinking what Jacob had said. What were the Cullens in their story. What did that story even mean in the 1st place. I was so confused. Especially when he said “enemy clan”. Like do they dislike each other or something. Like he could’ve explained this more to us. But no, he had us, mostly me wondering more about this information that he said.

When we got home, I went to Bella’s room while she started dinner and looked up some stuff. I wasn’t getting anywhere with anything, to be honest. There was a site that brought up a bookstore in Port Angela’s that had a book about what I was looking for. As I was looking everything up, Bella came up and caught me.

“What you doing?” She asked.

“Just looking up stuff.”

“Like what Jacob told us?”

“Yeah. Sorry, it was bothering me. I found a bookstore in Port Angela’s that might have a book more about their history.”

“Oh yeah?” Bella asked.

“Yeah. Maybe we should go there tomorrow and check it out.” I asked her.

“Maybe. But dinners done.” Bella said.

“Okay.” I said then closed the laptop and followed Bella downstairs to the kitchen.

I have to know what they are. It’s killing me. If they’re bad, killers or whatever, I have to know if I have to stay away from them or not.
