59Thank you to everyone who reviewed/ Favorited/ Fallowed my story. I will probably say this every chapter but hey it is true, when I open my e-mail and see that someone has taken the time to acknowledge my story I can't wipe the grin off my face for the rest of the day, so thank you. So one more thing shall be reviled this chapter, maybe, oh and for anyone who didn't figure it out Raven is a werewolf. And again, my disclaimer from the previous chapters still stands, but for anyone who don't remember here you go 'I own Nothing Except my ideas; also I get ideas from places then don't remember where I get them from so if it sounds familiar then it probably is' and if you didn't remember then you should probably get you memory checked. Also sorry for the delay I had writers block for a bit in this chapter and just a warning during the week updates will be a lot slower then on weekends. Please enjoy.
Oh and ages:
Raven: 16
Paul: 17
Jared: 17
Jacob: 16
Embry: 16
Sam: 22
Emily: 20
Everyone else doesn't madder right now

Ravens gift

"Yes 18-2 is 16, you can do simple subtraction yay. Would you like a medal or a gold star?"
Emily looks slightly taken back by what I said and Sam lightly growls at me, really did he just growl? Honesty bro I have lived with things way scarier then you, not to mention I could easily whoop your ass in a fight and you stand here and growl at me because I make some comment to your fiancé.
"Ok great chat I feel like I know you so much better now, but I still want to take a run so goodbye." I say running out the door
When I reach the forest I jog a bit until I am out of sight from any passing civilians before disrobing and tying my close to the rope on my leg. How no one sees that is beyond me. Once that is done I relax a bit and phase into my wolf form, man I love the way I look when I am a wolf, I am jet-black but the tips of my ears and the bottom of my tail as well as covering my paws is a deep shade of blood red.
Ok so Aro said go to the creek then you should be able to smell them then just fallow their scent to the house. And with that I picked up my back-pack between my teeth and headed off towards the creek that Aro told me about in search of the Cullen's house.

-Paul POV-
16? 16? "So I guess that means that we should go and enroll her in the reservation high school," Emily says a few seconds after Raven raced out the door.
"Um ya I guess so. If she is 16 then she would be a… Sophomore right?" Sam asked
"Yes." Embry says
"I can't believe that she is only 16, I mean she dresses and looks, hell even acts like she is older," Jake says
"Did anyone else see that she glanced over at Sam just briefly after Emily let go of her or how she tensed?" I couldn't help but ask
"I did and I'm glad someone else thought that it was strange also," Sam said
"Well Sam why don't you go and get her all set up for school for Monday and I will cook dinner?" Emily said
With a quick kiss Sam left and I sat on the couch and watched Jarred kill Jake at COD. I hope she is being safe on her run. Were did she go? Shouldn't one of us have gone with her? Maybe I should go and try to find her, if she isn't back in 20 minuets I will go and look for her.
-Raven POV-
I must be getting close the smell is getting stronger right after my thought was finished I saw a house in-between the trees. Stopping a little bit away from the clearing I phased back and grabbed my backpack. On my walk up to the house I was focusing on keeping my thoughts blank. When I got to the door and knocked a tallish blond answered the door with as very confused look on her face. When the door opened my scenes were bombarded with the sticky sweet scent of vampire.
"Can I help you?" She asks after a second
"Yes, is Carlisle home?" I ask, very politely if I do say so my self.
"Um yes, he is in the living room. Just fallow me" She says
"Thank you."
When we walk into the living room it goes silent, not that there was much talking going on before. After a second I relies that the blond girl must think that I knew who Carlisle was, so I decided to break the silence.
"I am looking for Carlisle Cullen,"
"That would be me," the blond man sitting on the couch says as he stands up and walks in my direction, "pleas excuse me if we have met but I am afraid that I don't know your name." He says, as he gets closer.
"Oh no we haven't met my name is Raven," I said
"Well Raven it is very nice to meet you," Carlisle said holding out his hand for me to shake it. Putting mine out to meet his I position it so that none of out skin makes contact, something I have managed to master and can do without the other person even realizing I am doing anything different.
"Well, let me introduce you to the rest of my family. This is my wife Esme,, and our children Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward. As you can se Esme and I like to adopt," Carlisle said pointing to each person accordingly.
"So um I don't mean to sound rude but is there a reason you are here?" Emmett asked
"Oh yes I am terribly sorry." I say as I turn to face Carlisle, "I came with a gift for you." He looks slightly surprised but mostly confused.
"A gift? For me? Might I ask whom from?" He said
"It's from Aro and he was very specific that I hand deliver it to Carlisle Cullen," I say pulling a box out of my backpack and handing it to him, "So here I am making sure I hand deliver it to you." The fact that everyone in the room tensed at the mention on Aro's name did not go unnoticed.
"How do you know Aro?" Edward asked
"I got my self in a bit of a situation and When Jane and Alec stepped and helped me they brought me to Aro and he was nice enough to let me stay at the volturi," I said and if it is even possible the room seemed to tense even more at the mention of Alec and Jane. "Well are you going to open your gift?"
"Oh yes," Carlisle said before cautiously unwrapping the box and opening it, "I can't believe it," he said as he pulled out a very old looking book.
"What is it Carlisle?" Rosalie asked
"It is a signed copy of The Prince," Carlisle said still in a bit of a daze.
That's cool "The Prince? As in the one by Niccolò Machiavelli?" I ask
That snapped him out and he sent me a surprised look, "Yes?"
Fuck that's cool. Wait did he say signed? "Wait earlier you said signed. He gave you a signed copy of a book who's author has been dead for, 486 years?!" I said
"Yes.?" He said still a bit shocked.
"Why? Why would Aro give you something like that?" Edward asked
"Well, when I lived with the volturi it got out that I use to have this book and it was my favorite not only because of the book but because my dad went to such great lengths to get it signed for me, but when I got changed I left and I couldn't go back to get it. When Aro heard about this he said that he would find me a signed copy of it even if it wasn't my old one." Carlisle explained
After his little explanation I couldn't help but be a bit surprised about how Aro remembered it for so long and kept his word. When I looked outside I saw how dark it was outside and realized that I had better get back to Sam's before he freaks out.
"Well now that I have done what I came here for so I will be on my way. I will probably see you around." I say as I head for the door.
"Wait, it is getting late are you hungry? If so feel free to stay and I will whip up some dinner." Esme said before I could get out of the living room.
"Um can I take a rain check on that? I have to get back to my brothers house before he gets worried." I say
"Oh ok, well do you need a ride home? I am sure that we can get someone to drive you home." Esme asked
"Well, ok if it is not to much trouble. It is kind of out of the way." I said
"Yes don't even worry about it, and would you like to come over tomorrow night for dinner?" Carlisle asked, at his request I realized that I wasn't going too get out of a dinner with the Cullen's
"Um yes I would love to, what time would you like me to come?" I asked
"Jasper and I could just drop by your house and pick you up after school around 3:30 if that was alright with you," Alice said
"Ya that would be great." I said
"Well now that we have that settled why don't you and Jasper take Raven home so that you know were to pick her up tomorrow," Carlisle said
"Ok but I really need to get going," I said looking outside again
"Yes, come on I will show you to the garage," Alice said as she and Jasper started walking in the opposite direction of us.
As we walked I couldn't help but observe the beauty of the house. Whoever designed this place definitely knew what they were doing. When we got to the garage Alice climbed in a yellow sports car and Jasper climbed in the passenger side. From the time that I got in to the time that we reached the rode, which my the way was quite a long way, it was silent and I could tell that they had something to say.
'Just spit it out I know you have something to say," I say slightly annoyed.
"Well why are you so comfortable around…" Jasper started but stopped before he finished.
"Around your family?" I asked once I realized were his train of thought was going.
"Well yes, I mean you … and we… and well." Alice said
"You what? Are vampires and I'm a shifter?" I said
Jasper slightly stiffened before relaxing and saying, "Well yes,"
"Well I am use to the smell and I know that I could hold my own if one of you decided to attack," I said very bluntly
"Ok e now that we have that al figured out how about you tell me were you live and how to get there?" Alice said
"Well here is the thing I actually ran to your house so I don't know how to get there from here but if you can get me to the La Push sign I can get you to were I am staying," They both tensed when I said that, "What's wrong?"
"We aren't allowed on the reservation. We can take you to the sign but then I am afraid that we can't go any father." Alice said
"That's ok I can walk it's not to far. If you don't mind me asking why aren't you allowed on the res.?" I ask
"It is a treaty we have with the pack. We don't hunt or step foot on there land then they don't attack us or any vampires on our land." Alice explained
"Well do you just want to drop me off at the sign then pick me up their tomorrow around 3:30 3:45?" I say The pack? That means that there are more then just Sam. I wonder who else. Could it be the guys that were there when I got there?
"That would be perfect!" Alice said
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you say you had to get back to your brothers house and then that you would give us directions to were you are staying, no once did you say your house, or you home" Jasper said looking back at me
"Well it is my brothers house I only just moved in today and I didn't say my home because I haven't found somewhere that I can honestly call home," I said
"Who is you brother?" Alice asked
"Samuel Uley," I responded
Jasper and Alice quickly glance over at each other before Jasper said, "I was unaware Sam had a sister,"
"Ya so was he, so was I for that madder, but as it turns out we have a parent in conmen," I said
"Really which one?" Alice asked truly curious
I tense but quickly relax my posture, "Our father. Samuel and I both have Joshua Uley as our father,"
"Well that good that you found your brother, even if he is a dog," Jasper said, the last part slightly quieter but I heard it as clear as day.
"Ya I guess. But I think that if I can live with vampire then living with a 'dog' probably wont be the end of the world, especially scene I am one also," I said
Alice just smirked and Jasper turned to look at me, "I like you, and I am looking forward to spending some time with you."
"I agree, you are very strait forward. But I am afraid that we are going to have to do something about your clothing choice, I understand that you don't were a lot of designer thing for fear of ripping them when you phase but we need to go shopping so that you aren't wearing patched up jackets. Shaping is definitely is going to be one of the first thing that we do together." Alice said
"Ok first off I like you guys to and am looking forward to spending time with you guys to. Now Alice I am afraid that my wardrobe is not changing, we can go shopping and we can add to it but it is not changing. I made this jacket and put the patches in on purpose." I said.
"As long as you let me dress you up sometimes and let me pay. Bella never let's me do either." Alice
"I will let you dress me up sometimes and let you pay as long as I pay for the food and we split the gas." I compromise
"Deal," She said turning around and sticking out her hand, I shook it and Jasper chuckled.
"What?" I ask
"It's just, I have never seen someone compromise with Alice after knowing her for such a shout amount of time," Jasper
"Well I guess I am just special," I said with a smile Wow I am enjoying this and so are they. I like them; no one has ever gotten me to be so comfortable around them after just a few minuets. The ride to the sign was filled with enjoyable conversation and a little bit of teasing it was a little bit sad but Alice brought are spirits up again by reminding us that they would pick me up at the same spot tomorrow at 3:30.
"Ok see you tomorrow. Wait give me your cell phone." Alice said before I shut the door
"Ok here," I said giving her a questioning look
She pressed a few buttons and then handed it back to me. "I put me cell number in call me when you get to Sam's so we know that you got there safe." Alice
I roll my eyes, "Alice you know that I could take care of myself,"
"Stop wining and just say that you will," Alice ordered
"Ok," I said putting my hands up in a mock surrender, "I promise that I will call when I get to Sam's and tell you that I am safe,"
"Se you tomorrow Raven," Jasper says before they speed away.
That was fun, I haven't smiled like that in a long time then I turn around and jog back to Sam's as the sky slowly gets even darker.
Another chapter done and a friendship blooming. How will Sam react when she gets home so late? A Little fun fact for you the bit about the book that is a real book.
Sneak peak for the next chapter: The pack is there when she gets home. Raven doesn't understand the feelings she has for Paul because she never had anyone to explain all of the wolf things to her. Raven runs into an old friend from La Push.-Chapter will be better then the sneak peak but require at least two reviews before posting it so please R&R
