Celeste POV
I practically ran into Emily's, my stomach grumbling, begging to be fed. Don't get in the way of a hungry werewolf, they'll eat anything.
I piled my plate high with fried chicken, sausages, eggs, waffles, strawberries and some orange juice, before sitting down and digging in. The food on my plate was nothing compared to the food on Seth's, might I add.
Shut up. He mind-linked me.
Shutting...
He turned over and grinned at me, before turning back to his food.
As I was munching contently on my food, Sam, ever the party pooper, walked in.
"Pack. Attention up here. Now."
Sam didn't even have to raise his voice to get the attention. But when he did raise his voice..boy that was something to see!
"We need to deliver a message to the Olympic Coven, showing our allegiance to them. Who will go?"
I was too busy scarfing down eggs, bacon, sausages and pancakes to pay him any mind.
Suddenly everyone was silent, and all eyes were on me.
I looked up. Oh no.
"No. Oh, no. Sam you can't do this to me! I don't want to go to the freaking house filled with some nasty ass smelling golden eyed leeches-come on-I can't....Fine. Fine, you son of a-"
Finish that sentence, I dare you. Sam mind-linked me.
"--n amazing and beautiful mother!"
I scoffed.
"Did he-he thought I was gonna say the word didn't he. Oh. My. Gosh. Honestly I'm feeling so attacked right now. Come on, Jake let's go."
----------------------------------------------------A couple minutes later we were trudging through the woods, the Cullen houselhold in sight. I saw the Arab-German? vampires immediately. The girl was beautiful, yet exotic; long light brown hair, an extremely proportionate face, and those creepy golden eyes.
The guy was cute, I'm ashamed to say but he was cuter than Jake. I saw them make some sort of water tornado thing and it exploded into snow. They kissed.
I stopped walking, and a feeling of jealously bubbled up inside me. Jake flew right above me and I swear his face was priceless.
The feeling of jealousy increased tenfold. Obviously they were in love. Why couldn't Jake and I have that? He followed my line of vision and turned to face me. I looked away, my face burning.
He lifted up my chin with his finger.
"Hey. What's going on?"
I pushed his finger away and began walking again.
"Nothing. It's fine."
He gently grabbed my wrist and turned me around so that I was facing him.
"I know you well enough to know that, 'Nothing. It's fine.' means 'I'm slowly dying but I don't want you to know because then I'll be vulnerable.' Come on, Celeste."
Is it wrong that these fucking butterflies are mutilating my stomach when he says my name?
"I know you well enough to know when something's up."
I looked him in the eyes. Big mistake.
"Mate." He whispered.
I smiled, and kissed him with passion. I'd been dreaming of this moment since I was a little girl. He kissed me back with equal passion.
Finally.
"Celeste. Celeste." He whispered.
"SEL. CELESTE AMELIA GOODWIN HELLO!"
I blinked, and my heart sank. It wasn't even real.
I smiled and blinked away tears.
"What are you over here waiting for? We got a party of bloodsuckers to crash!"
I walked past him and he smiled.
In my peripheral, the smile faded into something of a worried expression.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We made it to the Cullen household and Jake, being Jake, had to announce his presence. As if the superhumans in the room couldn't already tell he was here.
"BELLS. THE GREATEST AND SECOND GREATEST WEREWOLF IS HERE. I WANT A COOKIE AND A MARCHING BAND." He shouted.
Bella, sped up to him and hugged him tightly. She was beautiful. All of them were.
She spoke, her voice sounding like tinkling bells.
"Jake! I missed you!"
Then she turned to me.
"Hello. You must be Celeste. He can't stop talking about you, by the way."
She grinned and Jake gently shoved her, blushing.
I didn't notice, but the whole clan of vampires were there.
"This is my good friend Ruqayya, and this is her husband Benjamin. The rest of us would take too long to introduce-"
"Mellarchy!" Jake jumped in.
"Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Jess, Edward, Jasper and Alice. See, that didn't take too long, now did it?"
Bella rolled her eyes and the rest of them laughed.
It was like hearing Mozart perform Fantasy in D minor. That satisfying.
But I couldn't take it, I couldn't stand it. I worked hard to get past all my insecurities and now I'm standing in front of people who don't even have to try to be beautiful?
The small, but strong barrier that was keeping all my insecurities at bay, burst open and they washed all over me. I couldn't breathe.
The quiet vampire with the blonde hair swept up, next to Bella, was looking at me with a pained expression on his face.
I don't need your pity.
I managed to utter a "The pack has your full support," then I ran.
Away from all the perfection and back to square one.
