Sorry. I've been writing my stories the last month, hard to write when you've alot of school work. So congrats here's chapter 8!
Book 1: Renesmee
Chapter 8: Siblings
The past three years were quite busy, since my tenth birthday. Congratulations to me on officially being a seventeen year old. Growing up by five years in only two was a weird thing, which was why when I went to middle school I had to be home-schooled when people started to notice I was growing faster than usual. Right now, I would stop growing older, and remain seventeen forever, and so would he. I did not use my ability to communicate anymore, unless when I could not put my feelings through words, which would be all the time, when he enchanted me with his flawless features.
Leah, she was upset and annoyed because I was with her leader most of the time, and she and Seth had to see it every day. Though, they would go back to their home in La Push once in awhile, but when they did not they would be lodging in the Cullens residence. When they would go home, it would be when the Clearwaters have their family gathering. I could protect myself, granite-hard skin, superhuman strength, speed, eyesight, hearing and evasiveness, and he had to make things overboard.
After Sam left, along with Paul, Jared, Emily, Quil and the rest of the pack for their own personal reasons, Leah and Seth were the only shape-shifters, as my father called them, other than my Jacob. He made a protection plan, that all of them would have to be transferred to Forks High School from the school at the reservation, so that Jacob could feel at ease that I was protected. Does he even remember that I could outrun him? If I could outrun him, who could I not outrun, except my father of course. My father was the fastest runner in the family, and I was second, training with Jacob frequently for years, I eventually ran faster than the rest.
Seth was making friends, happy in fact, that he was transferred to Forks High School. He enjoyed studying in a new environment, so like him, always wanting something new.
“Hey.” Jacob placed his arm over my shoulders. I smiled at him.
Leah was coming towards us, while Seth was walking into the classroom. In the large empty capacity of my brain, I used part of it to calculate if we would run into her. Another part of my brain was used to calculate how much time before we reached her if we were going to run into her, and lastly I was pondering on what I should do if we really ran into her.
“Hey Jake.” She called.
“Leah.” I greeted.
In my mind while walking towards her I was thinking, if I gave her what respect that she deserved, she would not get annoyed by me, as she thought of me as a brat. Obviously, she was jealous. I could not blame her, she had a bad impression of my mother anyway, of course she would have bad blood towards me.
“Leah.” Jacob laughed.
How disrespectful, Jacob! I reprimanded him, not out loud. My hands were on his arm.
“Sorry.” He whispered, and kissed my forehead.
I shook my head slightly; surely he could see that or at least feel that. We sat together, as usual, at English. Mr. Goodman, the teacher who took over Mr. Birdy who taught my parents when they were in high school, was just like him. They were like identical twins in their mind; they both loved tragic love stories. It made me wonder if they were telepathic, or were they brothers. They had such similarity in taste. He spoke of Romeo and Juliet every ten minutes, and that was getting on Leah’s nerves. I could not be bothered with his Romeo and Juliet quotations and statements, so I focused on Leah, and tried to read her body expressions. It would help me to recognize when she was feeling what, so that I could avoid her when she was annoyed, in case something happens and she exposed herself, or I expose myself, or worse, if Jacob or Seth exposed themselves. Better to take precaution than to bear consequence.
Something was surely going on in Leah’s head. She may not have known it, but she was shivering and shaking in anger, like she was screaming in her head but not out her mouth and shaking away the anger was the only way to exert any force to calm down.
“Let her be.” He whispered in my ear.
Are you sure? Do you want to talk to her? Maybe she was in hard times, and maybe he wanted to help.
“Yes, I am sure.” He only answered the first question.
English was finally over, and Leah stood up violently and left the classroom. Everybody stared at her as she made her exit, and Seth ran after her. Seth was like the peacemaker, every time she got angry, he would calm her down. I was thankful for that.
As I walked out with Jacob’s arms around me from the back, everyone stared at us too. I could hear many whispers and gasps for air when they had a slight glance at my boyfriend. I felt proud of that.
“Of course, because I’m yours. Forever.” He nuzzled in my hair.
You mean it?
“Since your birth had I ever left?”
True. I kissed him on the forehead.
From where we were, I could hear a very faint conversation. There was some screaming, an argument. There were many gasps and shocked breaths.
“I’m done! I’m not staying any longer!”
“He won’t allow it. Please be logical, Leah. Just stay.” The voice was pleading.
“Shut up, Seth! Ugh! Let go of me!”
“I won’t.”
“I’m near it. Let go.”
“I don’t care.”
“I don’t want to hurt you, Seth.” She continued in a voice that only creatures with extraterrestrial hearing could listen to, “Let me kill that brat.”
“You’ll expose yourself! I won’t let you do that!” Seth grabbed tighter than ever.
“Please, Seth. I don’t want to hurt you, and I hope I don’t have to.” But he did not budge, as now I could see the commotion.
For humans, that argument would have only been heard until when she told Seth the first time that she did not want to hurt him. I felt Jacob stiffen, as if he felt fear lurking beyond the next few steps.
“Cool down.” I whispered.
“How can I? She wants to kill you.” His grip tightened, in protection and anger, when he emphasized on the last two words.
No, Jacob. Don’t expose your identity of a shape-shifter, nor let her expose hers. He nodded.
We walked through the dispersing crowd, and saw Seth on the floor. Leah, she was…
