A/N: Hello pretty readers! Here I am starting a new story! Yah! I really hope that you guys like it. It's the story of Quil and Claire's daughter Aiyana or Yaya. So I'll stop jaw jacking and just get on with it! So enjoy! :D Natalia

So I just wanted to give a quick idea of the type of person Yaya has grown to be. She is free willed and sarcastic, but has a good and infectious personality. Her humor is what makes her loveable. Somewhat like Quil.

Yaya:

BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!

My hand slammed down hard on my alarm clock.

"God damn stupid thing!" I grumbled. Needless to say that I am not a morning person! It was the first day of my junior year.

OH GOODIE.

My bedroom door came flying open, and nearly knocked me over. My idiot brother stood in the doorway. "Morning sleeping beauty." I glared at him. It was hard to believe that we were siblings, let alone identical twins. We were really different, despite our identical appearances. I liked to think of myself as easygoing and outspoken, he was just a momma's boy with a stupid sense of humor, who morphed into a giant wolf and ate the vamptastic enemies that threatened our community. I know what you're thinking… 'you're twins, you're supposed to love each other' right? Don't get me wrong, I love my brother, and we are close, but I still can't help the simple fact that he annoys me a lot of the time…scratch that, all of the time.

"So you ready for the first day as a junior?" he asked me, grinning.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I grumbled. "You?" I sighed, as he flopped down on my bed, making himself comfy.

"I'm ready to see some fresh junior hunnies."

JESUS, SEE WHAT I MEAN.

I rolled my eyes, "I can't believe we shared the same amniotic fluid for nine months." I hissed.

"Technically, it was eight and a half." he corrected me.

"Get out of my room, Kane. You're annoying me." Sticking his tongue out at me, he rolled off my bed, slinking out the door. I watched him saunter down the hall to his room. After he phased, he got…big, way big! He grew like 14 inches and his body filled out. He didn't look like a string bean anymore.

I found my way to my bathroom, getting changed, I debated as to whether I should wear makeup. My parents always told me that I didn't need it. Looking at myself, I didn't see anything special. High cheekbones, copper skin, hazel eyes. That was the one thing that was different between my brother and I, feature wise. Kane had brown eyes, like mom, but my eyes were light hazel, like my dad and grandpa. I decided a little eyeliner wouldn't be too bad.

Once I was finished, I brushed out my hair, which was getting a little too long for my liking, and changed into some dark wash jeans and a plain whit v neck. I was a simple girl, complicated glamness wasn't my thing, especially since I've grown up around boys. I Aiyana 'Yaya' Ateara, am the only girl out of the all werewolf spawn. Yep, the only one! Well aside from Kai Clearwater, Seth's daughter, but she's a bit older. Jared and Kim had four boys, one of which is my best friend, aside from my brother. He has a twin as well, but they're not identical like Kane and I. Emily and Sam had three boys. Embry and his wife, Tara have two boys of their own.

"Yaya! Mom said hurry up for breakfast!" Kane screamed, a little too loudly, from the bottom of the stairs.

"Alright, Jesus Kane! We're in the same zip code!" I slipped on my red and white vans and headed downstairs. Kane always laughed at me when I wore them. He said 'they draw attention to your feet.' Idiot.

My mom was in front of the stove, flipping some pancakes onto a plate near the sink.

"Where's dad?" I asked. Mom turned around and frowned.

"What? No 'Good morning mom! How are you today, thanks for giving me life' ?" she asked me rhetorically. I rolled my eyes at her dramaticness.

"Good morning, oh great, gorgeous mother of mine that gave me life. How art thou this beautifully crappy day, here in LaPush?" I asked her sarcastically. She let out a laugh. I smiled at her.

"That's better. He's in the den." I nodded turning back in the direction I came from, heading through the TV room, into the den, where my dad was slumped over some paperwork.

"Morning Daddy!" I kissed his cheek. He looked up at me, smiling.

"Hey Yaya." My father looked tired, bags under his eyes. My dad never looked old. But I am starting to notice small changes in him though, every year, he changes a just a little. He still looks that same to me though. A big man, with dark skin and jet black hair. His eyes that are identical to mine, hazel.

"Dad, what are you doing? You look exhausted." I scolded him. He shook his head mulishly.

"I have been up late doing dome inventory for the garage." My dad worked with Jacob Black at his auto shop.

"Need help?" I asked.

"Not this time, AC. But don't worry, I got it, kiddo." he smiled. He called me AC from time to time. I had a lot of nicknames. Most everyone called me Yaya. Some of my friends called me cookie, as in tough cookie.

TEEHEE.

I hated being called Aiyana. It was only used by my parents when they were pissed at me. But only my dad called me AC, the initials of my first and middle name. Anyone else that called me Aiyana or AC had a death wish.

"Alright then pops, if you need help, just let me know, I'll help you when I get home,

'kay?"

"Sure, sure." he mumbled.

HA. THIS FAMILY HAS SPENT TOO MUCH TIME WITH JAKE.

"See you later old man." he laughed.

"See you later, A. Love ya."

"Love you too dad." I kissed his cheek again and dashed back to the kitchen to get some food in my stomach. My brother was scarfing down whole pancakes at a time. Every since he phased, he eats like a friggin' banshee!

"Kane, take a breath, I would really hate to see you choke." I said, clapping his back.

"Shuu up!" he mumbled with a mouth full of food.

"Gross! On second thought, choke." I mumbled. Mom slid a plate of pancakes with strawberry syrup in front of me. I ate happily. Once I was finished, I went to throw my plate in the, someone knocked loudly on the door. Kane bounded like a little girl to answer it.

"Morning Ateara's!" a familiar voice bellowed! I spun around to meet the face of one of my favorite people in the whole world. Spear Mahalla. Jared and Kim's son, and one of my best friends. He and I have been friends for as long as I can remember, even though he was year older than me. I used to have the most devastating crush on him, but as time went on, we became close, and more than friends wasn't an option, even though Spear was a fox. He had phased last year when he was a junior, and my oh my, it did him well. He grew at least a foot and a half and all that funky werewolf testosterone made him all muscly and strong. His hair used to be longer, but when he started phasing, he had to get it cut. His eyes were a mysterious shade of gray. Spear was pretty much the definition of

'tall, dark, and handsome' and girls swooned over him on a daily basis. But he said he was holding out for his imprint. I was pretty sure that I didn't have to worry about being imprinted on by anyone, not with my protective father, brother, and best friend.

"Hey you." he smiled, enveloping me in a massive hug. His heat took me some time to get used to.

"Hola." I mumbled, losing oxygen as he squeezed me tightly. Kane came into the kitchen a moment later, saving me from lack of oxygen. Spear let me go and I sucked in a huge breath.

"Sorry." he laughed.

"Hey COOKIE! Suuuup Buuuddy!" Spear's fraternal twin, Shane, crooned, wrapping me up in another warm hug. His was less breathtaking. Shane looked similar to Spear. Tall, dark and handsome. Kane was closer to Shane than I was, but he still treated me like a little sister, just like Spear did.

"Hey hey." I laughed, patting his arm when he finally put me down. "Did you guys drop off Jimmy and Alex already?" I asked. Jimmy and Alex Spear and Shane's younger brothers. They were smart ass little guys too, the two of them went to a special school in Forks for the 'gifted' kids. Spear and Shane nodded.

"Alright then, let's get a move on, I want to see some junior tail before first period." Kane said confidently. I rolled my eyes.

"You're an ass." I spat. "Shotgun!" I yelled, grabbing my bag, heading toward the door. Shane and Spear drove a huge four door Suburban they called 'The Beast'. It totally fit them. I hardly ever got to sit in the front seat, so I had to call it whenever I got the opportunity. The ride was full of conversation about the past summer and the good times we all had together.

When we finally got to school, I was dreading it. School never really struck my fancy, even though I pretty much got straight A's in everything. I have had a 4.0 GPA for the last five years of school. I got my registered lock and found my locker. LaPush High finally upgraded to lockers and actual classrooms a few years ago, so it was pretty much a normal functioning high school, well except for a few incognito werewolves running around. My locker was right next to my brothers, of course.

"Fancy seeing you here." Spear chuckled, from my right side.

"Your locker is here?" I asked with a grin.

"Yup." he laughed.

"Sweet." The bell rang. I had AP History first. One good thing about being an identical twin, you can't have any classes with your sibling.

YES!

"Yaya, over here!" I heard someone call as I entered Mr. Hides History class. I was greeted by Hayden Uley, Sam and Em's youngest son. His two older brothers Avery and Will had already graduated and were full time parts of the pack.

"Hey!" I smiled.

"How have you been? It feels like u haven't seen you in forever." he said. Hayden went away to boxing camp this summer. We had also grown up together."Well that's what you get for deserting me all summer, Muhammad Ali!" I laughed. He chuckled.

"How was your summer?" he asked me.

"Eh, you know the usual, being tortured by the boys the whole time." He laughed throatily.

"You know you love being the only girl." he grinned. "You get all the attention!"

"Sure, sure." I rolled my eyes , snickering. We were pulled from our conversation when Mr. Hide started talking.

Most of my classes went the same, going over boring school rules and classroom expectations. I caught wind of my only friend that was a girl, in third period Math.

"HEY!" Tia squealed, as soon as she saw me. "I'm so glad I found you!" She and I had been friends since preschool.

"What's snap crackle poppin'?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes.

"Junior Tama is in this class?" she blurted suddenly. I looked up to see Junior and a few of his friends laughing hysterically over something, I didn't know.

Junior is Paul and Kim's son. He and I haven't been exactly the best of friends. He was a perverted, annoying, narcissistic weiner. Junior also hated the fact that I spoke my mind, and we clashed heavily because of it. He was good looking, with his lean build and dark blue eyes. But all of his handsome features were overshadowed by his stupid assness.

I looked away, feeling queasy just looking at him. I glanced back up when I heard a familiar voice.

"Cookie?!" he said, smiling.

"Timber!" I squealed. I hadn't seen him in a year, since Embry and Tara had sent him to a boarding school in Boston. I heard from my mom that Embry and Tara were bringing him back this year because they thought he might be phasing soon. I refused to believe it until I saw it. He hugged me tightly. Junior snickered.

"I can't believe how much you've changed in just a year!" he said looking me up and down.

"Yeah, she's even more bitchy than she was before." Junior exclaimed. I was immediately heated.

"Oh, bite me, Tama!" I hollered. "You're still the same old egotistical ass you always were." I spat through clenched teeth.

"Ms. Ateara, Mr. Tama, unless you want detention on the first day of school I suggest you two simmer down." Ms. Dane cut in. I rolled my eyes.

"Still the same old tough cookie, I see." Timber whispered. I had to grin.

"Always." I declared. Junior gave me the stink eye for the rest of the period. I didn't care. He was just bitter because he hadn't phased yet, and he was starting to get scared he never would.

WHATEVER, NOT MY PROBLEM!

By the time lunch rolled around, I was plenty hungry and ready to see all my wolf boys. All of us coincidently had the same lunch period. When I got into the caff, most everyone was already there. Spear waved me over.

"Sup A? How were your classes?" he asked me, scooting over to make room. I let out a long sigh.

"They were good until I got to math and Junior had to be a buzz kill with his shitty attitude." Spear and Kane laughed.

"Ah, he'll be phasing soon and hopefully that'll make him chill out with the saltiness." Shane piped in.

"I heard my name." Junior wandered over to our table. I internally groaned.

"I was just telling the guys how much of a dic-" I was cut of by Spear's hand over my mouth.

"Now now, let's not be hasty, Cookie." he murmured. I rolled my eyes, and pushed his hand away.

"Whatever." I grumbled.

The rest of my lunch was spent trying to ignore Junior and his snide remarks. When the bell rang, I stood, stretching out my cramped muscles, my back sore from hunching over the lunch table. I glanced over to see Junior's eyes scrutinizing me.

"You have changed." he said, with a cocky tone.

"Piss off perv!" His hand found my back, lingering there for a moment, before pulling on my bra and snapping it against the skin of my back.

OH HELL NAH!

All the guys had their eyes on me, shocked. Before I could fathom what I was doing, my body whipped in his direction, my arm pulled back, and then snapped forward with all my strength, right into his face. I could hear my hand slightly crunch.

Junior's head flew back and he clutched his nose momentarily, before he started shaking violently. Everyone had their eyes on us now, speculating. Junior's shaking quickly became tremors, he looked like a blur.

"Shit!" Spear grumbled.

He, Shane and my brother dragged Junior out the door quickly.

"Alright, alright! Let's get to class now!" a teacher yelled. All the people snapped out of their trances and started moving toward the door.

I clutched my now throbbing hand. I could move it, but it still hurt. "Ms. Ateara, why don't you go to the nurse and get some ice." I nodded.

After an hour of icing my hand, the nurse wrapped an ace bandage on it and told me to keep it braced for about a week or so. It was just a sprain. I thanked the nurse and headed to my last two classes, of which, Junior's name was called during roll but he wasn't present.

When the final bell rang, Kane met me at our lockers.

"Hey! Are you okay?" he asked referring to my hand. I nodded.

"Just a sprain."

"Well, Junior phased." I shrugged.

"I figured as much." I mumbled, stroking my sprained wrist. "Where's Shane and Spear?" I asked.

"They're helping Junior out." I huffed audibly.

"How are we getting home then?" I asked, irritated as my wrist started throbbing again. Kane dangled keys in front of my eyes.

"They gave me the keys, no worries." he smiled. "They'll be back around later to pick up the Beast."

The ride home was quiet, until Kane burst into a fit of laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" I asked, startled by his sudden outburst.

"Nothing!" he sputtered through his laughs, "Just, you looked like Rocky Balboa when you hooked Junior in the face." he cracked up laughing even more.

"Shut up and drive moron."

"Today, I was officially proud to call you my little sister!" he hooted.

"We are twins! How the hell am I your 'little sister' ?!" I air quoted, wincing as my wrist throbbed even more.

"I was born earlier." he answered after his chuckled died down.

"By two minutes! That hardly makes you older." I was beginning to get pissed off.

"Regardless, I was proud of you today, even though your temper is a little startling." he said earnestly and we pulled into our driveway. I smiled.

"Thanks goober." I pecked his cheek and jumped out of the beast. I flung the front door open, only to see Paul and Rachel Tama sitting on the couch talking with my mom and dad. They all looked up at me.

OH CRAP.
