Emily's House Part One
Bella was up to something. Macy knew it. The past couple months since her night out with Jessica, she'd been secretive and spending almost all her free time on the reservation. The past few weeks though, she'd been coming home with multiple injuries and even a concussion before focusing on a map with Jacob. Macy was tempted to follow them wherever they were going but Bella had been pulled out of her funk by Jacob, so she could focus on spending time with her dad and Jason and her had broken things off since they realized they were better off as friends. What they used to feel for one another was no more, now they saw as each other as friends.
Yesterday though, had been very weird. Bella had gone to the movies with Jacob and one of the annoying kids from school, Mike Newton and had come back worried out of her mind about Jacob. She had called Billy Black every fifteen minutes or so before going to bed without saying much besides that Jacob had gotten sick at the theatre. Macy didn't really care to worry about her obsessing over Jacob, though Macy was sure that he would be thrilled, since his crush on Bella was painfully obvious. Macy was too busy trying to figure why she kept having demigod dreams about that grey wolf that she encountered at the cliffs back in January.
The wolf had been all but starring in her dreams once a week since, and she could always hear Aphrodite giggling when she dreamed of it. She had given her offering for answers and had received nothing in return. Since then, she had tried to avoid going to La Push or at least going alone, for fear of running into the wolf again. She was tempted to IM Artemis or Apollo to ask about it though, since wolves were a shared symbol between the two of them, though she didn't think she'd get many answers out of them.
Finally though after a few weeks of Bella moping around, falling back into her zombie state slowly, she ended up snapping and dragged Macy to La Push before seven in the morning.
"Why are we going to the Black's house so early again?"Macy demanded tiredly.
Bella had barely even paid her any attention since latching onto Jacob, so the fact that she had chosen to drag Macy with her was surprising and Macy was less than pleased to have her sleep interrupted for this.
"To get answers."Bella said by way of explanation, not giving her anything else.
With a sigh, Macy followed her out of the truck and up to the door, not caring if Billy saw her in her purple pajamas. If Bella was going to drag her out of bed to suit her desires, she wasn't getting dressed to do it. She was just fortunate that she remembered to grab Blackfyre. It would have been just her luck to forget and get attacked by a monster. She shoved her hands into my pockets as Bella banged on the front door.
"Come in!"Billy's voice called from inside and Bella opened the door, walking in like she owned the place.
Macy rolled her eyes but followed her notheless.
"Bella, Macy. What are you both doing here so early?"He asked, though Macy noticed his voice was slightly tense.
"Don't ask me, I'm here because Bella dragged me. I'd prefer to be sleeping right now."Macy told him, earning a slightly strained chuckle from the older man as he focused on Bella.
Macy was starting to wonder if she had some mental issues like Nico had suggested back in December when she saw him when Macy went to visit her aunt Sally and her cousin Percy for Christmas and the Winter Solstice meeting. Thalia had just said that Bella sounded pathetically codependant on others. Percy got annoyed when Bella is mentioned since he didn't had a good relation with his older cousin.
"I need to see him."Was Bella's answer and Macy let out a soft groan at her obsessing over Jacob not talking to her.
Macy thought that Nico was wrong, Bella didn't have mental issues. Thalia was the one who was correct.
"He's sleeping."Billy told her, only to get shoved aside as Bella barged back into Jacob's bedroom.
"Sorry about that, I don't know what her problem is."Macy offered, checking the wall where Billy's chair had hit for holes.
"It's fine, Macy. How are you doing? I haven't seen you around much lately."He asked and Macy gave a small smile despite being freaking exhausted.
"I'm okay. Sorry I haven't been coming to visit lately, I was just worried about the wolf population. I saw this freaking huge grey one back in January when I was visiting Jason. The thing looked right at me and I've been kind of nervous about running into it again. Can't escape the fact that it's been dream stalking me though."Macy mumbled the last part and missing the way Billy tensed in response.
"A grey wolf, huh? I don't think you have anything to be worried about. Wolves are our tribal brothers, after all and we've never had issues with wolves on the reservation."He assured her.
Macy nodded before groaning when she heard Bella shouting outside.
"I'd better go see what stupid thing she's about to, and to who."Macy mumbled as she walked out, pausing momentarily at the sight of four shirtless men who were about as muscular as some of the Ares cabin.
Macy started moving again at the sight of Bella slapping one of them, feeling irrational anger on behalf of the one she slapped.
"Bella! You don't just slap people, you idiot!"Macy shouted, running towards her.
She picked up the pace when she saw the one she slapped shaking so bad, it looked like he was vibrating, pulling Bella back just in time for Jacob to come running out of the house and both of them explode into wolves. Macy let out a startled curse in Ancient Greek, instinctively reaching for Blackfyre in her pocket, but not drawing it as the silver and russet wolves disappeared into the woods, fighting all the way.
"Hey, take them to Emily's place."One of the remaining three men ordered the other two, one of whom Macy was now able to recognize as Embry.
"Guess the wolf's out of the bag."Embry muttered, picking Bella up and taking her keys from her to drive the truck.
"Where are you riding, Macy? Want to ride in the cab or in the back with Jared?"He asked, the newly named Jared giving a friendly wave.
Looking between the two, she nodded to Jared.
"I think I'll ride with him, I'm likely to slap Bella for her stupidity if I get within close to quarters right now."Macy said, drawing a chuckle from the two and a look of offense from Bella.
"No wonder she's Paul."Macy heard Embry mutter as Jared and Macy into the bed of Bella's tank of a truck.
"What did he mean by that?"Macy asked Jared as Embry started driving to an unknown location.
Jared froze for a second before relaxing and giving her a midly apologetic look as he said "I'm sorry but it's not my place to tell you. You'll have to ask Paul later when they get back."
Macy rolled her eyes in exapesration.
"Which one is Paul, so I know who to interrogate later?"She asked, swiping her long brown hair out of her face as she looked over at him, earning a smile.
"The one Bella slapped, the one who turned into the grey wolf. "He said and this time, Macy was the one to freeze.
Did that mean it was Paul she saw that day in January while she went to see Jason? She stayed silent the rest of the trip, trying to figure out what this meant, if they were part of the Greek world or not. She was leaning against it, since they hadn't tried to attack her yet but she couldn't be too careful. They could be a part of Lycaon's pack for all she knew.
Deciding to take a risk, Macy moved her jacket sleeve up, revealing her SPQR tattoo, pretending she had an itch under it, while keeping an eye out for a reaction.
"Cool tatto, what does it mean?"Jared's voice asked, holding only curiosity.
Studying his face, Macy noticed that he genuinely didn't know what the tattoo meant and gave a small sigh of relief.
"Family thing on my mother's side."Macy said, by way of answer.
They may be wolves but Macy wasn't revealing the gods unless ordered to, or given permission to do so from one. He nodded and Macy let her sleep drop just as the truck rolled to a stop in front of a quaint little house that was practically on the beach as she could see from here.
Macy wondered if the Quileutes were the work of Apollo, since she knew there was no way Artemis would allow a bunch of men to turn into wolves. She'd sooner turn them into jackelopes before she'd turn them into wolves. But then again they could also be the work of Selene.
"Hey, I think we should go back to see if Jacob's okay."Bella said as Embry got out of the cab and Jared helped Macy out of the car.
"He'll be fine, Bella. Come on in, we don't bite!"Embry called back to her, earning a snort from Jared.
"Speak for yourself, dude. Oh, Macy, about Emily, Sam's fiance , just try not to stare. It bugs Sam."He said before walking through the open door, into the house.
Confused for a second on why I would stare, Macy followed him inside, Embry and Bella behind her.
"Are you boys hungry?"A woman's melodic voice asked before scoffing in amusement and said "Like I even have to ask."
She turned around to give Bella and Macy a view of her face. She was a native woman with almond shaped chocolate brown eyes and pin straight raven black hair. Though now Macy knew the reason she wasn't supposed to stare was the scars that graced her russet skin from her eyes, all the way down to her hand on her right side. Used to scars though, Macy didn't even bat an eye, instead, zeroing in on the muffins in her hand.
"Who are they?"The woman, who Macy assumed was Emily asked, catching sight of Bella and Macy.
"Bella Swan and her half sister Macy, who else?"Embry asked, sounding slightly sarcastic, making Emily hum in acknowledgement.
"So, you're the vampire girl."She said, looking at Bella making Macy freeze before whirling to face her moron of half sister.
"What?"Macy demanded, her voice low and deadly, not caring about the fear she saw on Bella's face.
A/N So I hope you'll like this chapter. Macy and Bella are both cousins of Sally Jackson since Sally is the half sister of Charlie, sharing the same mother. Also Charlie had an older sister who was named Macy and who died from Cancer and my character Macy was named after her. And Blackfyre sword is the imperial gold blade version of Riptide.
