"You aren't wearing a swimsuit?" Mike turned to Vlad, who was dressed in short black pants and a black vest.
"Yep."
"Shit!" Tylar shouted, running toward them. "It's fucking freezing here. I'm moving in… you coming?"
"I'm right behind you." Vlad picked up a surfboard, one Jessica had borrowed from her father, since Vlad didn't own one, with the condition that it would come back in perfect shape. And although Vlad wasn't that good of a surfer, he was sure his vampire abilities had improved some of those aspects.
"Damn woman, you look good." Vlad's eyes turned to Jessica, whose tight suit was measured so tightly that it revealed everything.
"Vlad, stop," Bella said with a book in hand, shaking her head as she noticed Vlad's lingering eyes.
"And don't you have a girlfriend or something?" Angela, who was always quiet, day by day seemed to be growing nuts.
Vlad just clicked his tongue, and Jessica whispered a faint, "thanks," one that caused Vlad to wink at her after hearing it.
"Bella." Three footsteps came from the side, approaching them.
"Jacob." Bella seemed pleasantly surprised, and Vlad, for some unknown reason, glanced away. "Guys, this is Jacob."
Jacob nodded as the others shared their greetings. Then his eyes narrowed. There were only a few short people in all of Forks, so it was obviously him.
"What are you doing here?" Jacob said in an alert tone.
"Jacob." Vlad turned around, smiling. "Long time no see, man. How have you been?"
"You aren't allowed here," another boy who came with Jacob hissed.
Ash only raised his hands in surrender, surfboard locked between his armpits as he walked back while they approached.
"Me… not allowed?" He pointed at himself, sharing an expression of disbelief with Bella, Jessica, and Angela, who were thinking the same thing. "Stop being stingy, man. We're all allowed a share of the beach… right?"
Vlad suddenly bolted away, and as if on command, the boys who came with Jacob chased after him in that very instant.
"What's going on? Why are they chasing him?" Bella asked, nearly getting up from where she was sitting.
"Don't worry about it." Jacob faked a smile, sighing as he began to run in the same direction. "It's boy stuff… nothing serious."
---
"Why are you chasing me!" Vlad laughed as he saw the futile stamina of the two boys he was trying to escape.
"Why are you running!" Jacob suddenly came out of nowhere like a bullet, launching onto Vlad and spearing him to the side, both of them rolling on the sand from the force.
Yet, instead of protesting or announcing defeat, Vlad kept laughing as if what they were doing was too comedic.
Then one boy from the group grew so overwhelmed by anger that he climbed atop Vlad's lying, laughing body and decided to throw a punch.
"Quill!" Jacob tried to stop him, but it was already too late. His fist was already inches from Vlad's face.
'CREACK!
Even after the punch landed, Vlad didn't even move. He didn't squint. He just watched as Quill, the lad who had punched him, nearly snapped his own hand in half.
"AHH!" Quill screamed, falling sideways and holding his broken arm with his other hand in disbelief.
"Fuck." Ash stood up, shaking his head while brushing back his hair.
"You broke the treaty!" Jacob stepped forward, helping the other boy pick Quill up.
"What are you talking about? He attacked me."
"I'm not talking about that. Cullens are not allowed within Quileute grounds."
"Bro… I'm not a Cullen."
"That doesn't matter!" He moved closer, Quill still hanging on his and the others' shoulders. "You are a cold one. The same rule applies."
"What? I'm not a cold one."
Jacob raised his brows, while Vlad upright ignored his presence, picking up his board.
"What the fuck do you mean by that!"
"The sun, dummy." Vlad shook his head, moving toward the sea. "You think if I were a ghoul, I would be standing this close to the sun?" He laughed when he said it, not even glancing back. "If I were, I would literally be Michael Jackson."
Then he vanished; clearly because of diving into the sea with inhuman speed.
'Ghoul,' Jacob couldn't even begin to wonder, because in the next second, the constant grunting and screaming stopped, as Quill suddenly fell unconscious.
Jacob turned to him, and his eyes instantly widened.
Right there, right where Quill's hand was broken, where his bone was clearly snapped in two, was nothing.
No injury, no scar. Just a normal hand, totally unaffected.
"How did this happen?!" he turned to Embry, the boy helping him carry the now unconscious Quill.
"What?" Embry raised a brow in confusion. "If you don't wanna help, just say so, man. I get it, we shouldn't have gone partying all night."
Embry took Quill's unconscious body himself, carrying him on his back.
"Just… Please don't tell on us."
Jacob watched in dead silence, seeing something he never thought could be real.
They had totally forgotten everything.
They had forgotten why they were there.
"Jacob!" Bella suddenly called from afar, waving at him.
Jacob's heart, something that rarely got scared, for the first time in a while, got its first shock of reality.
Perhaps a glimpse…
Of how insignificant they truly were.
