"Are you sure I'm allowed here?" Lucy asked. As the day had worn on she felt less and less sure of herself.

"I wouldn't have asked you to come if it wasn't okay." Paul said gruffly as they got out of his car. Cars had changed a lot since Lucy had last ridden in one, but it was over 70 years ago.

"I just mean, it seems like a tribe thing, and I'm an outsider." Lucy said quietly.

"But you aren't an outsider." Paul said quietly. Lucy missed what he said over the crackle of the bonfire.

As they walked up they heard the chatter of the rest of the group and saw the burgers cooking. Emily smiled as she walked past them with a plate in her hands.

"Hey Lucy, I saved you some food before the boys got to it." Lucy smiled at her kindness and took hold of the plate she passed her, noticing it had a couple of hot dogs on and some salad. Paul tried to sneak a hand onto her plate to try and take one of the hot dogs, but Lucy moved it away just as quick.

"I have two older brothers, you are going to have to be a lot quicker than that." She smiled and began to eat.

"Come on, they are about to start." Jared shouted over to them. Paul guided Lucy over to a log where they could all sit and so Billy could tell the legends to them all.

"The Quileute's have been a small tribe from the beginning, but we have always had magic in our blood." Lucy put her empty place on the floor and rested her elbows on her knees as she listened intently to the legend.

"We were great spirit warriors, shape shifters that transformed in to the powerful wolf. This enabled us to scare off our enemies and protect our tribe. One day our warriors came across a creature, it was hard like stone and cold as ice, our warriors sharp teeth finally tore it apart but only fire would completely destroy it." Lucy shivered and Paul pulled her closer.

"They lived in fear that the cold man was not alone. They were right. She took her vengeance out on the village and after a short but brutal killing spree our elder chief Taha Aki was the only spirit warrior left to save the tribe after his son was killed. The strength given by his anger alone allowed him to change. He began fighting the Cold Woman but his third wife could see that he would lose; she was no magical being and had no powers, save for one: courage." Paul looked down at Lucy to see her staring into the fire.

"She took her sons knife from his hands and stabbed herself in the chest. Her sacrifice distracted the cold woman long enough for Taha Aki to destroy her. She saved the tribe." Lucy sat there wondering about how it affected the rest of the tribe.

"Over time our enemies have disappeared, but one remains, The Cold Ones. Our magic awakens when they are near. We sense it now and feel the threat in our blood, something terrible is coming and we must be ready. All of us." Billy finished his story and Paul looked down at Lucy, her face was blank and he couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Driving back to Emily's in the car they had come in, Lucy felt uneasy about what she had heard, and it all seemed like a story for little children. But so did Narnia and that was real, even though her friends were not there anymore.

"Well?" Paul asked as they were driving.

"Well what Paul?" Lucy shot back.

"What did you think about the stories?" Paul pulled over.

"They seem a bit farfetched, a man with skin as hard as stone, how can that be real?" Lucy said looking down at her lap.

"You would be surprised. Things that we often think are not real sometimes turn out to be real." Lucy bit her lip, her siblings didn't believe her about Narnia when she first told them, and now she was treating Paul like they treated her.

"I don't know." Lucy looked at him; the cold hard look in his eyes that was normally ever present had gone and was replaced with a look pleading with her.

"You have already heard me turn from a wolf to what I am now, what about this is so hard to believe?"Paul asked her.

"I don't know, I just…" Lucy trailed off. Paul looked at her and sighed.

"Do you need time to get used to the idea that I turn into a large wolf?" He asked her. Lucy nodded.

"Fine, I'll take you back to Emily's house." Paul restarted his truck and the rest of the drive was spent in silence. When they pulled up Paul walked round to her side and opened the door for her and he had to lift her down from the truck due to her small size.

"I just need time; I will let you know when I am ready to talk." Lucy smiled at him. She hugged his waist and walked into the house. After Lucy had gone inside Paul fist pumped the air in self triumph and drove back to him house with an uncharacteristic grin on his face.
