Running With Wolves {A Twilight FanFiction} - ABANDONED

Chapter 4: The Black Wolf

Chapter 4: The Black Wolf

Monday, 19th April 2010

I rolled up to school the next day expecting Jacob to be there and for things to be incredibly awkward. But they weren't because...he wasn't there. Quil and Embry were accounted for and they weren't sick, just grounded. They asked me how the night had gone.

"It went... Words do not describe how horrible the night went." I told them truthfully.

"Oh crap, that is not good. What did Jacob do now?" Quil asked,

"He and Bella were flirting and Edward was there too and I snapped at Bella because I didn't think it was right that she was flirting with Jake if she was in love with Edward. And Edward is a nice guy! He doesn't deserve to be treated like that!" I exclaimed.

"Are you sure they weren't just joking around? I mean, Jacob is a pretty perky person. He flirts with everyone because that's just how he is." Embry stood up for his friend. I admired him for that but... I was seriously pissed at Jake right now.

"No. It was serious, I can tell."

"So, define 'you snapped.'" Quil leaned forward,

"I, uh, I punched her in the face." I stared at my shoes. After I'd gotten home last night, I was soaked to the bone and blinded with tears. Mum was home but she was asleep. I didn't wake her. I didn't sleep for the whole night, I kept feeling that guilt of how I'd punched her. Legally, I thought she could press charges -she could do that couldn't she? Would she? If she did, I was so screwed and as if my mum didn't have enough to deal with already.

"Whoa, go Mia!" Embry exclaimed, high diving me. Quil laughed.

In art we had a field trip just like Ms. Smith had told us on my first day.

We didn't have to go far, didn't even have to go on a bus, we just walked out of the school grounds and there was a forest. Ms. Smith lead us to a small clearing and told us not to go anywhere where we could not see her. I floated around the edge of the clearing, camera in hand. Ms. Smith said we could take pictures of the things we wanted to draw as well as picking up a few things.

I took a couple of snap shots of the trees and bushes, before I took photos of people in my class when they weren't looking. I wanted real photos, not the fake ones with plastered on smiles and poses.

Mikayla Jameson caught me taking a photo of her leaning against a tree. I zoomed up on her face, her expression was lonely but her face was so beautiful. Her bright blue eyes shone with something...admiration...as she day dreamed. I wondered who about.

"Are you taking photos of me?" She asked quietly,

I stammered, caught in the act, "Uh, sort of. Sorry."

"It's okay." She stared at her feet, "Do you mind if I see it?"

"Sure!" I said, I clicked the buttons on my camera and showed it to her. "I thought it was a good shot. I mean, we're supposed to be doing life drawing, right? And you looked so...human and innocent. Were you daydreaming?" I rambled.

Mikayla nodded slightly, still staring at her face, "Yeah, I guess I was."

"Who about?" I murmured.

"What do you mean? You can daydream without it being about a boy you know." Just when I was helping Mikayla come out of her shell, she crawled back in and shoved her walls up.

"I know. But I just thought... This is going to sound really stupid but my mum used to get that same look on her face when she was thinking about my dad." I stared at my shoes, suddenly very interested in the laces of my converse sneakers.

"I was thinking about someone...but he doesn't even know I exist," She sighed.

"I doubt it, Mikayla. Every girl says that."

"No, he really doesn't know I exist. I tried to say hi to him yesterday and he called me Sarah. Sarah no Mikayla, I mean, how do you get Sarah from Mikayla?" The blonde huffed.

"Who's the guy?" I asked, "I could try help you if you told me."

She hesitated, "Seth."

"Clearwater? The cute as guy from P.E?" I asked. A part from art, I also shared P.E with Mikayla. Seth Clearwater was also in my class. Quil and Embry had introduced us on my first day but we weren't very close, we smiled and said hi to each other, made small talk in class sometimes but other than that we had nothing to do with each other.

Seth was cute, I wasn't going to deny that. He had dark hair and dark eyes, tan skin. He was tall and lanky but he'd fill out. He had a sister, I thought her name was Leah. Quil said she was a real bitch but that was because of a messy break up or something like that.

Mikayla nodded and blushed ferociously. "You think I'm stupid for liking him don't you?"

"No! Not at all!" I exclaimed and an image of Jacob flashed in my mind, I shook my head and frowned.

I needed to stop thinking about him.

Mikayla got back to work and I did the same, taking more photos of the students in my class. Most of them were of Mikayla and Quil and Embry.

A flicker of light caught my eye and I disappeared into the trees, following the glitter and gleam of sunlight dancing on something reflective. I found the source half buried under dirt and leaves. It was a necklace. I was silver and black with a lion in the middle. Above the lion was a hand and below it was a sort of banner with three clover-looking objects, the chain was rusty from the weather. Despite its ruggedness it was beautiful. I pocketed it and started venturing around the forest for more interesting things to find.

I heard something rustle in a bush, but didn't think much of it. There was a lot of wildlife out here and I was learning not to freak out at the tiniest of sounds.

Then something jumped in front of me. It was about fifteen metres away, close enough to make me jump but not close enough so I started to freak out. It was big, like a wolf but the size of a horse. The wolf was black with grey eyes. I was stunningly beautiful and frightening, but I wasn't scared.

I frowned and bought my camera up and took a snap shot before it shot away like a bullet from a gun.

"Scardy cat." I smirked and headed back to the clearing.

Authors Note: hey! So this is chapter 4 and it's the first sight of a wolf! Yay!

So Mia made a new friend in Mikayla! Do you guys like Mikayla? I should mention that even though I'm pretty sure Seth is like 3 years younger than Jacob and everyone, I moved his age up because I thought of some storylines with him in :)

How'd you like this chapter?

Does the necklace seem familiar? I can tell you that the necklace has something to do with a chapter thats happens in chapter 10 or 11. I have planned out everything that happens in this fan fiction and it has about 29/30 chapters.

Please comment, vote or whatever!

Next upload should be about Monday/Tuesday-ish. Upload dates are on my profile page in my 'about me' section.

Enjoy :)
