Ch.6

Through out the week I monitored both Edward and Bella's behavior. While Bella seemed completely normal and never gave me strange looks I'd catch Edward staring at me and I could see the fear in his eyes. The anticipation wasn't going unnoticed. Everyone but Alice asked him of his worries. He shrugged them off and pretended to act like nothing was wrong. I however knew such was a lie.

On Wednesday of the following week, I went to the school to visit them all at lunch and as I parked, two motorcycles came flying past me. The two men riding them were young, probably around sixteen or seventeen years old, but their height and mature faces said other wise. They were both very tall. Taller than all of the Cullen's with large muscles. They were tan and carried short black hair. On the smaller of the two of them, I clearly saw a circular tattoo of a strange black symbol. The taller boy had one as well but his was nearly covered by his black t-shirt.

I watched to the men walk in the direction of the cafeteria. I followed them. The smaller of the two turned to stopped in his tracks. He turned around and the taller soon followed.

"Hello? Can we help you?" His voice was confused but cheery. He was much younger than the taller now that I saw them close up.

"I'm fine thanks. Do you two go to school here?"

"No. Do you?"

The taller one asked the question. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"No. I'm to old to be in high school. I'm twenty-three."

"Then what are you doing here?"

"I was going to ask you them same."

"We have off today," said the smaller one with a smile.

The taller looked at the shorter boy like he was an odd bird and turned his eyes back to me.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm visiting some friends."

"Cool! I'm Seth by the way."

The smaller, Seth, held out his hand to me. I shook it and he was burning.

"Hi Seth."

"The sourpuss is Jake."

"Jake? As in Jacob? Jacob Black? You're Billy Black's son. You're friends with Bella."

Jacob looked startled for a moment.

"How do you know Bella?" He said, almost a growl.

"I've met her. I'm staying in the Cullen residence. I'm Harry. Harry Potter."

"Oh! Sam told us you were coming. Carlisle called Billy and told him."

Seth seemed more lenient with the Cullen's and didn't express a hatred for them as Jacob did.

"You're Harry? I pictured you as more... Taller and... actually older."

"Sorry to not meet your expectations Jacob but I'm the real deal."

He nodded.

"We were going to see the Cullen's also. We have news to report. And since you're Harry.. You should come as well."

I nodded and three of us walked into the cafeteria and to the table.

"What's "Wizard" Khalifa doing with the mutts?" Rosalie joked. It got no laughs.

I sat on the opposite side of Bella. The seat that Jacob would have gladly taken.

"I just came to say hey. I ran into them and they have something to tell us."
