I LISTEN TO THE WAVES CRASH AGAINST THE SHORE. I'm freezing. Bella shivers beside me in the van. She holds a bag of candy in her hands and offers me the bag. I take a lolly and pull off the wrapper. I stick the candy in my mouth and watch as everyone gets into their suits.
"So, I keep thinking that Eric's gonna ask me to the prom, and then he just doesn't." Angela says, seated in the front seat with a blanket wrapped around her. "You should ask him." I say and look at her. "Take control. You're a strong independent woman." Bella adds and I give Angela a smile.
"I am?" She asks us. "Yes." Bella and I say in unison. Jessica walks over to us and turns around. "Hey, will you do me up?" She says to Angela and her suit gets zipped up. I notice three boys walking over to us. "Bella." One of them say and they stop near the open front door of Tyler's van.
"Hi, Jacob. Guys, this is Jacob." Bella introduces. I give the boy a wave. "Hey guys, how you doing?" He asks politely and I smile at him. "I'm Tallulah, it's nice to meet you." I say to him and he gives me a smile. "What are you, like, stalking me?" Bella teases with a chuckle.
"You're on my Rez, remember?" Jacob chuckles out. "Are you surfing?" He asks her. "Definitely not." Bella says and offers her bag of candy to Jacob. He takes one and Jessica turns to the other boys. "You guys should keep Bella company, her date bailed." She tells them with a slight chuckle.
"What date?" Eric snaps out quickly. "She invited Edward." Jessica laughs out and I look at Bella who looks down at her lap and mumbles out, "to be polite, that's it." She says. "I think it's nice she invited him." I say and Bella glances at me. "Nobody ever does." Angela adds and Bella gives the both of us a smile.
"Yeah 'cause the Cullen's are freaks." Mike says. "You got that right." One of Jacob's friends add with a laugh. "You guys know him?" Bella asks them. "The Cullen's don't come here." The other boy says and I frown slightly. The boy beside him turns his head and gives a look to the boy who spoke.
Everyone gets silent after that. "Hey Bella, do you wanna go for a walk?" I ask her and she nods. She stands up and I look at Jacob who seems a little left out. "Do you want to come?" I ask him and he smiles at me, nodding.
"Thank you." Bella mumbles under her breath and I chuckle. "Don't worry about it. I really don't like that Jessica embarrassed you like that." She rolls her eyes. "Tell me about it." We walk along the sand. "She seems like she wants to bring us down." Bella agrees with me and I look at Jacob who walks awkwardly beside us.
"Hey, what did your friends mean when they said, 'the Cullen's don't come here,'?" I ask him, politely. "I'm not really supposed to say anything about it." I give him a smile and don't say anything else. "Hey, we can keep a secret." Bella says to him, looking at him through her eyelashes.
She is not. I think and hold in a laugh. She's trying to flirt with him to get him to tell us. I have to admit, I am curious. Jacob lets out a laugh with rosy cheeks. "Really, it's just like an old scary story." He says with a smile. "Well, I wanna know." Bella says to him. Jacob sucks on his teeth and sighs.
"Did you know that Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves?" He says to us. "What? Like, wolves?" I ask him and he nods with a chuckle. "Real wolves?" I say again in shock. "Well, that's the legend of our tribe." He tells us.
"Okay, so what's the story about the Cullen's?" Bella asks him. "Well, they're supposedly descended from this, like, enemy clan." He says with a slight laugh. "My great grandfather, the chief, found them hunting on our land. But they claimed to be something different, so we made a treaty with them. If they promised to stay off Quileute lands, then we wouldn't expose what they really were to the palefaces." Jacob motions between Bella and I.
"I thought they just moved here." I say and Jacob looks at me. "Or just moved back." He knows something. I hear a scream and jump. Eric is chasing after Angela with a snake in his hand. "It touched my hand! A snake! Stop!" She yells out and I giggle softly.
"What are they really?" Bella asks Jacob who laughs. "It's just a story." It's definitely not just a story. Bella and I look at each other before we start walking again. She's not going to let this go, and I'm interested, so neither am I.

I sit inside Bella's room with a pile of old books around me. "These don't mention anything." I tell Bella and glance at her. She holds her laptop on her lap and sighs. "I can't find anything either." She sighs. "What did you search?" I ask her. "Quileute History. And nothing. No mention of what the Cullen's could be." She says and a thought pops into my mind.
"What about 'Quileute Legends'? Have you tried that?" I ask her and she shakes her head. She types it into the laptop. "There's a book about Quileute Legends." She tells me and clicks on the mouse connected to the laptop. "Does it seem legit?" I ask and she hums her response.
"Where can you get it?" I ask her and she moves the laptop to show me a map of Port Angeles. "Do you have paper?" I ask her and she hands me a sticky note and a pencil. I write down the address. "Want me to get it? I think I can get it when I go to the airport on Friday?" I offer and she nods.
"Yeah, that'd be perfect." She says to me and I nod, putting all of the books back into a pile. "I'll get these back to the library." I give Bella a smile and she gives me a wave.

A/N- I'm really exited on making Bella and Tallulah besties because in a lot of Twilight fics the MC and Bella are enemies, and I hate that because it's so unnecessary.
