Chapter 13- The Quilute Tribe

 

I unlocked my door and went inside my house with Alice right behind me. As I went in the kitchen to grab something to eat, Alice looked around. I was fixing myself up a sandwich since I was starving.

"You have a very nice house," I heard a voice from behind me.

I spun around to find Rosalie with Alice next to her. I held my heart since she scared the crap out of me.

" *gasp* Don't ever do that ever again," I exclaimed.

"Oops sorry," Rosalie apoligized.

I sat at my table eating my sandwich with Rosalie and Alice watching me. I looked slowly up at them feeling awkard. "...What?"

"Hmmm, nothing," Alice said.

Once I finshed, I cleaned my plate and put it away. I saw other dishes that were still drying and a grabbed a dish cloth and started to dry them. Once I was done that, I decided to clean the table.

Alice watched me. "Lauren... you know we have to talk more. So stop trying to avoid it."

She was right. I was trying to avoid the topic. I really wasn't in a mood to talk about it again. I was starting to get over it.

Alice spoke again. "Oh another thing... how did you manage to clean the dishes with a broken arm?"

Now that she mentions it... how did I? I looked at my cast which was now covered in water and soap. Thank god the cast was waterproof. I shrugged as an answer to her question. I grabbed a dish towel and cleaned it off. My cast was red, my favorite color.

Then Alice grabbed out a Sharpie marker. "Oh right... we should sign your cast now! We'll get everybody else to sign it later." I was confused. I thought I was the one trying to avoid the topic. She signed my cast. She handed the marker for Rosalie to sign. When they were done, I looked at it. Their names were in fancy script that I never seen before. It looked like a decoration on my cast. I smiled at them.

"Well... what else do you want to talk about?" I asked them. I might as well get over with.

"What else did you do last night?" Alice urged.

The whole rest of the time, we talked about Edward and I. I was starting to feel funny now. But the I remembered something.

"Hey Alice, when you mentioned to Bella about the trip to La Push next Friday, you seemed uneasy. Is there something wrong about that place?"

She was still as a statue. Did I say it wrong? I hope I didn't. She sighed.

"Well... nothing's wrong. Us Cullens are just not alowd in La Push."

My eyes widened. "Why? Are you banished or something?"

She shrugged. "Kind of. Well... since we're vampires, we have to hunt of course. Well I really don't know the story that well since Jasper and I didn't the join the Cullens yet." She looked at Rosalie hopefully. I guess she was there at the time.

"Ok. Well... yes I was there. About seventy years ago, Carlisle, Emmett, Esme, Edward, and I were hunting in La Push. The Quilute tribe resides there and still does today. At the time, the Alpha was Ephraim Black. This is going to sound crazy but you can't say anything about this."

I nodded wanting to hear the story.

Rosalie continued. "Well they're werewolves. They can transform into wolves in two ways. One is just to transform by need or the most dangerous, is when they get angry. But we were hunting in La Push and the tribe wanted us off their land, claiming that we were bad vampires. Carlisle tried to convience them, which he did. What we did was make a treaty with them. If we didn't go in La Push or any Quilute land, then they will trust us. If we step in La Push, we'll violate the treaty. So Alice can't go to La Push with you."

I thought about the story she told me. Not only that there are vampires but werewolves too. This world isn't what you expect. I could only say one word. "Wow."

Alice laughed. "Well yes. But I don't really like them. They can be very predictable."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well... Bella is best friends with Ephraim Black's great- grandson. Jacob Black. We just think it is dangerous for her to hang around with him and his buddies. If he gets mad enough to transform... ugh! I don't want to think about it!"

I was amazed. For some reason I wanted to meet this Jacob Black. He seemed really intresting. I sat there listening to their stories.
