Dark Sunlight

Secrets and Stories

After quietly listening to two giant wolves fighting outside of the garage I was hiding in I fell asleep. They were at it for a very long time. I stopped keeping track after 15 minutes. I kept trying to wait for my chance to run but there wasn't a single chance at all. I woke up the next morning still in the small garage of Jacob's house. I didn't hear anymore fighting so I thought it was safe to come out. I felt weak and tired. It was 10 in the morning. I hope grandpa Charlie isn't too worried about me. Maybe Billy was here and saw what happened and just told him Claire and I were sleeping over one of her friend's house or something. But what if Billy didn't see, and he didn't call Charlie. What if something happened to Billy and it was all cause of that man wolf or whatever. What if he had killed Billy? Oh no I have to go and see if he's here! I run out of the garage and up on to his porch. I frantically knock on the front door waiting and hoping he would be the one to open the door. I hear someone walking to the door. Definitely not Billy. I see a tall man open the door. It's Jacob. He had a cast looking type thing on his right arm. and a few bandages on his face. I wonder what happened to him?

"Hi Jacob," I say shyly. He opens the door more and makes a sign to let me in.

"What do you want?" He asked annoyed.

"Um, Well something happened last night and I was kind of here to check on Billy to make sure he was ok. Is he here?" I asked looking around hoping to see his father wheeling around with a beer in his hands.

"He's over at Charlie's. He called him this morning asking him if he'd seen you. He went over there just about an hour ago to help him look for you." He said.

"Oh well I'm here so can I borrow your phone to call Charlie?" I asked. He threw me his phone with his good arm then sat down on the couch. He flipped the channels on the tv as I dialed Charlies cell number. It rang and rang until finally he answered.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Hi Charlie, it's me Renesmee, I'm here at Billy's with Jacob. I was just calling you to let you know I'm alright." I said.

"Where were you last night? I was so worried." He said.

"I'm really sorry about making you worry, I ummm... I was with Claire. We spent the night at her friends house. We had gone to a party and I was really tired so spent the night with her friend." I said.

"Alright, are you sure you're ok? Should I be worried? were you drinking last night?" He asked.

"Yes yes I'm fine. I wasn't drinking you don't need to worry about anything." I said

"Alright, Well I'll see you home later. BEFORE midnight. I don't like you staying out so long." he said.

"Ok, well bye."

"Bye," I hung up the phone and handed it back to Jacob.

I sat down next to him and just watched the tv as he flipped through channels again. He turned to look at me after he had gotten back to the original channel he was on.

"So, where were you really?" He asked. I looked at him then back at the screen. "Just tell me." he said. I sighed and turned to look at him again.

"Well do you promise not to laugh?" I said.

"Yeah unless its something super hilarious" He said with a grin on his face.

"Alright, well I was actually here. Asleep. In your garage..." I said the last part in a whisper hoping he didn't hear me. But he did. He burst out laughing that he was rolling on the floor.

"Okay, sorry. So why were you sleeping in my garage?" He asked while still letting out small laughs.

I wasn't too sure if I should tell him exactly what happened but he would know if I was lying. Maybe after I tell him I could get him to tell me why he'd been ignoring me. Even though he was only gonna be here for a few more days I needed to know before he left. Well here goes nothing.
