Chapter 1:
Sammy?
Raven's POV
Mutant. That one word was the downfall of my life. Now I sit here in the passenger seat of a beat up Jeep Wrangler on my way to Forks, Washington—kind of ironic that I'm moving to the site of one of the most famous fantasy books of the 21st century-- with my best friend and fellow mutant, Leiella Crowe.
"Rae. Stop moping. Your thoughts are projecting themselves and giving me a headache," Ella scolds.
"Sorry. I just find it ironic that we are moving to La Push,"I mumble back. These last few days have been hard; chased out of the city, nearly beaten to death, and now moving cross country just to hide from the people who exile us. I'm poud of who I am, why do we have to run?
"Hello? Earth to ghoast girl," Ella's waving hand brings me back out of my thoughts, "As I was saying while you where lost in thought again," damn telepath, "Twilight was just a book. We aren't going to run into any werewolfs."
"Sure, and mutants were what? An evolutionary event that happened ahead of schedule? Anything is possible," I counter.
Sighing, Ella turns to the road, not bothering arguing back for it was true-- mutations weren't supposed to be happening. Turning back to the window, I lazily watch the trees go by, eye lids growing heavy.
Poke...
Poke...
Grunting, I sit up,blinking a few times to get the sleep out of my eyes. Looking around I find that the jeep is pulled off to the side of the road.
"Where are we,"I ask, mind still foggy from sleep.
"We're about 15 minutes away from Forks. I figured you might want to go to a diner and grab some food, real food," Ella says, her voice sounding oddly strained, I wonder how long shes been driving. "About 8 hours," she replies to my internal pondering. Glaring at her, I climb out the jeep and walk around to the drivers side door.
"Scoot over, I'll dive into town and then to La Push till we find your cousin's house," I say, climbing into the jeep.
Ella's POV
Throughout the drive into town, I could tell that Raven was struggling. Her eyes kept darting to everyone we passed. A few times it looked like it took all she had not to go invisible and hide in the back. I know how she feels though. I had to block out all thoughts, but hers, to keep away a headache and its making me antsy not knowing what people are thinking.
"Rae no one knows we're mutants. Try to relax a little so they won't think your going to attack them or something," I joke, trying to get her to relax little. It works.
"Sorry Ella. I just don't want to have people freak out before we even move in. I want to at least have a roof over my head before the trashing starts," Raven jokes back, her goofy grin in place. Laughing slightly I reply, "Don't worry. I'm sure they won't mind a ghoast-girl. If they do I'll just toss them off a cliff or something."
Pulling into the parking lot of a diner, our laughter fills the car, only to fade into an uncomfortable silence.
"Come on, as long as your tattoo is hidden and you concentrate on your control your fine. Lets get some food and head over to my cousin Sam's," I coax, opening my door.
Waking into the diner, I notice that it isn't that big. It could be the group of four extremely tall guys that are sitting in a booth by the door, but I think all in all it really is a small diner. Seeing Raven stiffen a little, I grab her arm and drag her to a booth in a back out of the way of everyone so she will be more comfortable. When she still doesn't loosen up any, I sigh.
"Will you relax. You act like someones going to pop out of no where and cry mutant," I hiss.
"I can't help it. You know I don't do good in crowds. And something just feels off," she whispers out. I almost don't hear her.
"It'll be fine. We can hurry through though," I reply back looking at my menu.
When the waitress comes along I order a small sub while Raven orders enough for two grown men. The look on the waitress' face was priceless when Rae rattled off that she wanted two loaded hamburger meals. When the waitress walked away I couldn't help but laugh.
"What?" Rae asks, left eyebrow raised.
"Oh just the look on the waitress' face. I think shes wondering how tiny little you is going to eat two hamburgers and two orders of french fries," I snicker back.
"Hey, I could have ordered more, you know how fast my powers burn through food. I just want to get out of here, theres something off. I just don't know what though," she replies back. We stayed quiet after that, not talking even when our food arrived-- other than a poliet 'thank you' to our waitress. Finishing our food quickly we paid and made or way out to the jeep, passing the same four guys again, only this time when we passed they stiffened.
Raven's POV
Oh how I am glad to be out of that diner, there was just something off kilter in there. Pushing the thought from my mind for a later time, I speed walk over to the jeep, jumping in and starting it up. Pulling out onto the road when Ella finally gets into the jeep, I make my way through the small town with my best friend directing me. Turning down an old dirt road, Ella points to a tiny, grey house with a blue door at the end of the lane. Pulling up I turn off the jeep, lean my head back onto the head rest, and take a deep, calming breath.
"Hey Ella," I whisper out.
"Yeah," she says while grabbing our bags from behind us.
"Just be on your toes, I have a weird feeling and I don't know what it's about," I say, turning my head to her and taking my offered bag. Climbing out of the jeep we walk up to the door, Ella knocking on it. Pulling at my beanie nervously, I can't help but feel like there are eyes watching my every move. Turning to look out into the woods, I see the faint glow of eyes. Looking closer, I lock my hazel orbs on them. As soon as our eyes connect, the world seems to slow, pulling me towards the woods. As my foot goes to step closer, against my brains protests, the door opens distracting me.
"Sammy!" Ella yells, jumping into the mans arms.
"Leiella? We didn't expect you until morning," he replies back, hugging my best friend.
"Sam. Need. Air," she chokes out, causing me to laugh.
"Sorry," he says setting her down before turning to me, "Who's this?"
"I'm Raven," I say with a small wave, "I take it your Sam?"
"Yeah," he chuckles, "Come on in you two, you can meet Emily and get settled before the guys come over."
"Guys?" I ask, eyebrows raised.
"Uh, yeah. Like I said we weren't expecting you until tomorrow so a few of mine and Emily's friends are coming over," turning to Ella he continues, "You know a few of them El, Jacob Black and Embry Call are two of the guys coming over."
Following them into the house, I grumble to myself. Now I'll have to concentrate harder on not phasing through the floor suddenly. Tonight should be eventful.
Well thats it for chapter 1!!
Chapter 2 will be up as soon as Jul can get inspiration.
