Secret Night

Preface

Hello my name is Maria Black and this is my story. I was born in a world of werewolves. I always thought that I was different. MY father's name is Jacob Black and he was married to my mother Bella. Now my mom died when I was very young. MY father won't tell me how. My father for some reason is very over protective. But what do I know. Well this is the story of my life and how one thing changed it forever.

Chapter 1

It is a bright and sunny typical summer day in Canada. I woke again with nothing to do but go with my dad to his job which is really boring. But it is better than staying at home. The day starts out like any other. My dad get's the report on what's going on in the other packs around us. If there is something interesting he'll go and check it out. But there isn't. Yes!

"Well what should we do today," he asks me in his cheery voice to lighten up the day, "We could go and try to do some fishing. Or how about seeing a movie."

"Dad we go fishing all the time and there aren't any good movies out. Can't we go camping or something out of the country? Why don't we plan a vacation to those friends mom has in Washington." I asked in hope that we do something fun.

"Now you know why we can't go on a vacation now. My job requires me to be here."

"Isn't that why Seth is next in charge? So that you can go on vacations with your daughter."

"No he is there in case I die and you can't take over," I look at him with sad eyes this makes him give compromise," Tell you what when your 16 we'll go and see your mom's friends in Washington. Okay."

"But that's next year. Why not now?"

"Well your mom would have wanted you to see them next year," I tried my sad eyes again this time they worked," Alright you win if everything is peaceful between now and the end of this month we'll go a week after the end of the month. Deal."

I cave in," Deal" Besides that means I only have to wait three weeks. I really hope nothing serious comes up in the next two weeks.

Yes! I can't believe it. It's been almost a week and nothing bad has happened. But there is still one week left. I really hope that bloodsucker doesn't cause anymore problems. Wait did I just hear my dad. But that's not possible he's not in the house. Maybe I'm imagining things. I've been in the house to long. I better call one of my friends and see if they want to go hiking or something.

I decide to call my best friend JJ. After the first ring she answered." Hey JJ you want go and do something with me?"

"Sure what did you have in mind? Wait there is this awesome horror movie that's out."

"Well I was thinking about going for a hike in the nearby woods."

"Yeah that sounds fun let me ask my mom. Can I call you back?"

"Sure. I have to call my dad anyway and tell him."

"All right talk to you later. Bye." Just like that she hung up.

After she hung up I called my dad. I took me at least five calls until he answered.

"Maria what's going on?"

"Nothing I called to tell you I'm going on a hike with a friend to save you a lot of yelling."

"Alright but I want Seth to go with you," Oh great he's giving me a babysitter, "No I am not sending him to spy on you. He's going to be there for protection."

"Dad please I don't need protection. We're just going to be on the trial. Can't I go on a hike without supervision?"

"No. Have fun."

"Dad," He hung up on me not wanting to press the situation further. After I hung up the phone my friend called and I told her the bad news but she didn't mind. She was head over heels for Seth. So a hike with him almost, to her at least, was a dream come true.

It only took Seth at least ten minutes to get to the house. By the time JJ got to my house it was almost noon. And when she got here she looked liked she was going on a date. But we were finally on our way. Once we got on the trial I was about ready to hurl. Because JJ would not leave Seth's side and wouldn't stop complimenting him. The worst part is that he was doing the exact same thing. Finally I had to talk to her.

"Hey JJ I was out here once and I went off the trial and I found the most beautiful little clearing. I could show it to you that way you and Seth have some place to call your own."

She liked that idea," You have to show me"

"Alright but we have to get rid of Seth," She looked at me liked she was confused, "That way it can be a secret. Also you can surprise him when you decide to ask him out. You really should by the way I think he likes you to."

"All right just tell me what to do."
