Okay...so, here's the first chapter of my official sequel to my Seth/Lilly Saga, with their daughter Jenna. I'm going to say now, if you haven't read my trilogy about Steth and Lilly, you really don't have to. This story will make a little more sense if you've read them, but it can also be a stand alone since the main character knows nothing about anything in that story.
That said, hello to all new readers and welcome back to my old friends. :) This first chapter is a feeler for how well this more book related experiment will go. I'd really like to have some reviews to know what you all think of it. Feedback is vital, so,
Review!
"Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination"
I woke up slowly, my eyes pulling themselves open, and my mind trying dully to process my surroundings. I couldn't remember what happened the night before. It was all so foggy, coming in little spurts:
The party, I went to the party with my boyfriend, Max.
Shoving Max off me when he tried to get my skirt down.
Him laughing and handing me a cup.
The drinks…there must have been something in them. They were strangely…addictive.
Max forcing himself on me later, angry enough to punch me when I fought back.
"If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost"
The pulsing lights and music making me dizzy as I left the house.
Walking down the street barefoot in a daze, my cheek cut, and a scratch on my shoulder bleeding.
Calling someone on my phone.
Embry, driving up and jumping out of his car looking angry as hell.
Feeling safe in his arms as he carried me up his front steps.
Burning from the heat of his body as he moved over me, skin to skin.
"Let me come closer, I'm not your shadow
With our eyes shielding from the oncoming counts
It's not hard for us to say what we should not"
My stomach knotted and my eyes flew open. I sat up, hearing a groan from beside me, and wishing I hadn't.
Embry Call was sprawled across half the bed on his stomach, his firm rear in full view. My hand flew to my mouth to cover my gasp.
The white sheet from his bed was wrapped around me, mocking me silently. I pulled on it gently, relieved to find that none of it was still attached to the bed frame or under Embry.
"Oh God." I muttered in horror to myself. "What have I done?"
"If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost"
I grabbed a shirt off the floor, not really caring that it was his, and as such, about five sizes too big. I found my underwear on the floor next to the bed and puled them on, thankful to have covered the majority of my nakedness. Snatching the rest of my clothes up, including my useless ripped shirt, I did the only natural thing I could think of, I ran.
The screen door crashed behind me, but I kept running, pulling my skirt on and finally slowing to a walk as I turned the corner at the end of his street. The last thing I needed was for any one to find me looking like an idiot, running around with my clothes all messed up.
I'd grown up in La Push, so it wasn't hard for me to find my way back to the street I'd grown up on. It was early, the sun just coming up behind the clouds. I stopped at the end of my street, looking down it with trepidation. I had told my parent's that I would be back by two…it was undoubtedly later than that. My father had probably driven around La Push since just before two, and my mother was probably up with my aunt calling all the neighbors.
"Touch me I'm cold, unable to control
Touch me I'm golden and wild as the wind blows
And tumbling tumbling, don't go fascination."
God, what had I done? I'd slept with a man I'd known my whole life! He was one of my father's best friends, and had only been back from the army for a few days. I couldn't face my parents like this. I tucked Embry's giant shirt into my skirt, making it appear less like a man's shirt. My plan was to sneak upstairs, take a shower, and go to bed.
I had to stop when I reached the front of my house, the house my father had grown up in as well. My brother was asleep in the hammock on the front yard, something he'd done since he was old enough to challenge the childproof lock on the front door.
I looked down at his sleeping face and smiled, but then looked at the dark clouds, that promised rain. I couldn't leave him outside. Once, when he was five, he had been sleeping outside and it had stormed. He had been sick for a week after. Our mom had not been happy.
I picked him up, grunting a little under his weight, but comforted by his earthy, little boy smell. He was wearing the Superman watch our parents had bought him for Christmas, and according to it, it was nearly six in the morning.
"If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost
If just for tonight darling, let's get lost."
Rafe was ten, and on the scrawny side, so I could still carry him, but I was tired, so going up the front porch stairs was a challenge. I almost dropped him on the top step, stumbling over a toy train. I caught myself on the railing with my left shoulder. "Rafe." I hissed, shaking my head in amusement as I righted myself. I'd missed the little guy. There weren't too many little kids at college. I kicked the toy out of the way, and peered over my brother to make sure there weren't any more on the porch.
I worked the front door open, unsurprised to find it unlocked. We were a pretty secluded town, and no one would steal from a neighbor. Another thing was that most of the men in our town were really big guys. My father was on the small side, and he was still over six feet tall. At ten, Rafe was just a few inches shy of five feet tall, but still very skinny. I had a feeling that the brawn would come after he'd gone through puberty.
I laid him on the sofa of the front living room, and nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard my mother's voice, "Jenivieve Sue Clearwater. What are you up to?"
"Mom!"
"Oooooh ooooooh oooooh
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost
Let's get lost..."
The song is "Let's Get Lost" It was on one of the Twilight soundtracks. I have the next few chapters written and edited. Any and all reviews will be greatly appreciated.
