Greetings and Realizations

hi everybody! listen, i'm soooooooo sorry for not posting at all this week, i've been really busy getting ready to go back to skool and all. (yes, i am fully aware of the misspelling of 'school') but i'll be on as often as i can from now on, promise! 

you may or may not have noticed but the title of this post is a little different from past chapters. i got kinda tired of saying "Maximum Ride Fanfic Chapter ___" and "Twilight Fanfic Chapter ____" so i decided to start naming my chapters. i know this one isn't very good, but i made this one up one the spot. don't worry, they'll get better.

Disclaimer: okay, you and i both know who owns Twilight and who doesn't, so the heck with it. on with the chapter! 

           For a moment, no one spoke. Then...

            “I thought you were a dream,” he whispered.

            “Funny, I was going to say the same thing about you,” I whispered back.

            “You can’t be real but…you must be. You look the same, you sound the same…” his voice trailed off.

            “I know it can’t be you but…it is,” I murmured. “You’re the werewolf from the clearing, the one who saved me from the vampires,” I smiled.

            “You’re the girl who needed saving,” he grinned back.

            “Thanks for that, by the way.”

            “Ah, don’t mention it. They were newborns, easy to handle.”

            Someone cleared his or her throat. Our friends were staring at us uncertainly. Clearly they thought we were crazy. I realized I had never told Nikki and Bryanna my dream.

            “Nikki, Bryanna, meet Onyx. Onyx, meet Bryanna and Nikki.” He nodded his head in acknowledgement.

            “CJ, this is Skyer and Zachary. Sky, Zach, this is CJ.” I waved briefly at his friends. Then I quickly turned to Onyx.

            “The dream had been so real, but I don’t see how it could have happened, even with you standing here in front of me. I mean, when I tripped, I cut my leg. And when I woke up, there was no cut. It’s so weird…” I told him.

            “I have a few theories about that. Firstly, maybe we were dreaming the future. That would explain the lack of scars. How could you have a cut when it hadn’t happened yet?”

            “That makes sense…well, really it doesn’t. But with everything that’s been going on, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was it.”

            “I have another theory, too. You’ve heard of Freddie Kruger, right?” I nodded. “Well, when he comes to you in your dreams, if he kills you, you die in your sleep. But if he somehow doesn’t kill you, you wake up, and your life goes on like it never happened. And when he comes to you, you dream you’re somewhere else, when really you never left your bed. Maybe it’s the same thing? Only instead of Freddie Kruger there are vampires and instead of one person’s dream there is you and me.” I nodded again.

            “So maybe our minds are connected somehow?” I wondered. “Like some kind of empathy link, or maybe we’re telepathic, but only to each other.” Onyx grinned. I eyed Skyer and Zach. “Your friends, are they…”

            “Werewolves? Yeah, they are.”

            “And you’re the Alpha, aren’t you?”

            “Yeah. How did you know?”

            “You have a sort of leadery vibe.”

            “You do, too.” He paused for a second. “Let’s see if this link really exists. Don’t talk for a sec, just think something and direct your thought to me.”

            Okay, this was strange. Why are we doing this? I thought. I tried to sort of push the thought towards Onyx.

            To see if our minds are really linked. I heard his voice in my head, but his lips hadn’t moved. I gasped. “We’re telepathic!” I shrieked excitedly. His face broke into a huge grin. “I wonder how far apart we could be and still hear each other,” I said.

            “Okay, CJ? We’re going to the food car. C’mon,” Nikki said worriedly. I let them lead me to the food car.

            “Are you insane?!” Bryanna growled.

            “What the heck is going on?!” Nikki yelled.

            “Who is that guy?!” Bryanna screamed furiously.

            “No, I’m not insane, I just met a werewolf I dreamed about last night, and his name is Onyx. Does that answer your questions?” I answered haughtily. “What’s your problem? You act like I’ve committed a crime,” I continued. I didn’t give them time to answer. “Think about it for a moment. First I have a dream about a werewolf. Then the next day on a train headed to Forks I meet a guy who looks exactly like the werewolf from my dream and who has the same name. Then I hear his voice in my head. What do you want me to do?”

            We were all quiet for a moment. Nikki and Bry looked at me nervously. “Sorry we yelled at you,” Nikki mumbled. “We’re just weirded out by all of this.” Bry nodded in agreement.

            “S’ okay,” I muttered. For a minute no one spoke.

            “Hey CJ,” Bry said suddenly. “Your Uncle Billy lives in La Push, right?” I nodded. “What’s his son’s name?” I thought for a moment.

            “Something with a J. John, Jack, Jake—Yeah, that was it, Jake.” The same idea seemed to cross each of our minds. We broke into a run. We sprinted to where our parents were sitting. “Dad, quick, what’s Jake and Billy’s last name?” I asked hurriedly. Dad looked surprised.

            “Billy and Jacob? Their last name is Black. Why do you ask?”

             “Nevermind,” I mumbled. So, Dad’s friends, who happen to live in La Push, happen to be named Billy and Jacob Black. A coincidence? Yeah, right. I suppose you still believe in the tooth fairy, too?
