my name. I opened my eyes to find we had arrived at my Nana’s house. As I sat up, I rubbed my eyes as Sam honked his horn, next moment there was my Nana standing on the porch.

She looked as though she hadn’t changed one bit in these last seven years. I jumped out of the car and ran to my Nana, I was taller than her now as I hugged her tightly. The tears came, but we held each tight. “Shh my baby, you’re home, everything will be fine now my baby” she comforted me.

Sam brought my bags inside the house and my Nana sent him to put it upstairs in my room. “Thank you Sam, thank you for fetching my baby” she thanked him as she entered the house with me. “You know it’s a pleasure Nana, anytime” he replied. He turned to me, “nice meeting you Kayla, see you later Nana” he said kissing Nana on her cheek and extending his hand to me once more, his skin feeling burning hot. “Thank you Sam and nice meeting you too” I responded tearfully and he left. Nana turned to look at me, she moved me at arms length. “Let me look at you baby, look how you have grown, you’re taller than me” she said as she made me do a turn for her. “Wow look how long your hair is, and you have your daddy’s eyes, beautiful child you are” she smiled at me as the tears were leaking from her eyes.


Chapter 5

Nana and I spent the rest of the evening talking, catching up, and crying that we were both exhausted. Nana finally suggested that we both go bed, I didn’t disagree and went straight up to my room, climbed into my bed and fell fast asleep. Being so exhausted I fell into a dreamless sleep.

Nana’s POV:

“That poor girl has been through so much Billy, I am gonna let her sleep in, we will come around another day, okay, will speak to you later” I put the phone down as I look up at the kitchen clock it was early afternoon and Kayla was still sleeping. She was so exhausted from her flight and our late night of catching up last night. I decided to start up mixture for a batch of blue berry muffins she loves so much. I placed the mixture in the baking tray and in no time the smell of muffins was wafting through the house.

I heard a knock on my door and then some deep voices. “Nana, Nana, are those your famous muffins we smell?” he said. “My boys” I thought to myself with a smile. “Keep your voices down boys!” I whispered loudly from the kitchen as the boys rounded the corner. The boys looked confused, “Kayla’s sleeping” I answered their confused looks. “Kayla, Kayla who?” responded one of the two boys. “Kayla’s my granddaughter; don’t you listen at your meetings Jared” I reprimanded him. “Is she hot Nana?” asked Paul. “You will keep your paws off from her Paul if you value your life!” I scolded at Paul. “Warning taken Nana” Paul replied with his hands up in surrender.

“Now where are those muffins we smelled” Paul quickly said changing the subject. “Yes sit down boys” I said walking over to the oven and taking out the baked muffins and placing them on the rack on the table. Paul tried to take one as I smacked him hard on the hand. “Nana that hurt” he said sorely, rubbing his hand where I hit him. “Don’t be silly Paul” I responded and he laughed. I placed some muffins in front of the boys, it didn’t take them long to finish them off. The three of us chatted a short while, Jared announced that they had to get back soon as Sam had them working round the clock and now they had added help. Seth and Leah has joined the pack as well.

Shortly after they left I tidied up the kitchen when I heard some shuffling coming down the stairs. “Good, you’re up, have a good sleep my baby?” I asked a still sleepy looking Kayla as she entered the kitchen and came over to kiss me. “Yeah, thanks Nana, what time is it?” she asked. “Just a little after one” I responded.


Kayla’s POV:

My stomach growled as I sat down at the table. “Hungry dear, here I made some muffins, still your favourite I hope?” she asked. “Blueberry” we both said together and laughed getting up I hugged my Nana, she hugged me back. How I missed her I thought to myself. “I am so happy you are here Kayla” Nana said and she put two muffins down in front of me. We chatted for a while as I ate my muffins, Nana suggested we get my things unpacked and get me settled in. After washing my plate and packing it away, we both went upstairs.

My Nana got stuck into my one bag and between my clothes pulled out a framed picture. “Oh my word, look at all of you and how you have all changed” she smiled looking at the framed picture. “What’s that Nana?” I asked her, she passed me the photo. “The mischievous four” she laughed. “You must see these boys now, Embry has a girlfriend, Quil still the same as ever and Jake, well Jake is a whole other story….” she wandered off in thought. "What's happened to Jake Nana?" I asked. “Well he is in love with a girl who has a boyfriend, love sick he is, he is convinced she has feelings for him, but just doesn't want to admit it. I just wish the right girl would come along for him, he is such a nice kid” she smiled.

“Will have to look them up sometime” I responded as I put the photo on my side table. I continued to unpack; my clothes were perfect for the months coming up as winter was on its way it, La Push was seeing its last few of its summer days.


Chapter 6

We laughed and chatted as we unpacked the rest my things, the day flew by quickly, that when we finally finished packing everything in its place it was nearing dark already. “Come honey, lets go make some dinner” said Nana as she packed the last empty suitcase away.

We then headed downstairs to start some dinner. I went and opened the fridge to see what we could make for dinner, the fridge was full. “Nana, why do you have so much food in your fridge?” I asked curiously. “Oh, the boys are always hungry and always coming around looking for food, so I always make sure there is enough to go around” she replied taking some lasagne sheets out of the cupboard. I took out some mince and we got started on making a large dish of lasagne. In no time was the house filled with the smell of lasagne in the oven.

No sooner did Nana take the dish out of the oven and set it on the table, when a knock came on the door and then there were loud voices. “Hiya Nana are we just in time?” they called as they rounded the corner stopping. One guy in front stopped in his tracks which caused the other two to crash into him.

The bigger one slapped the one in front up the back of the head. “What you stop like that….” He stopped talking and stared. “Whoa, who’s this?” Paul said as he came out from behind the first guy. “Paul, Seth, Jared this is Kayla my grand daughter” introduced Nana as I picked up a knife to cut the lasagne. They all stared at me with the knife in my hand. The smaller one of the three moved forward. “Hi Kayla, nice to meet you, I’m Seth” as he extended his hand towards me. “Hey Seth, nice meeting you” I said as I shook his hand. Another one I thought whose skin was burning hot. “Nice accent you got there, I’m Jared” he nodded and smiled. “Nice to meet you Jared and you Paul” I responded looking at Paul. Paul still stared at me that Jared had to whack him behind the head to bring him out of his trance.

I could not believe how huge these guys were are these the boys Nana was talking about. All big and bulky they were. Nana broke the silence by telling the boys to sit down and took out the plates to dish up.

After some chatter, and sitting down for dinner, Seth and I got stuck into some talk about life in London. Jared was quite the joker and Seth was always interested in what I saw and where I had been.
After dinner Seth helped me load the dishes into the dishwasher and then the boys left shortly there after with full stomachs. Seth and myself ended up being pretty good friends by the end of the evening, even though he was two years younger than me.

Everyday or at least when he could spare a moment, Seth would pop in at Nana’s to say hi. He would never say what he was busy with. There was still a few weeks left of the summer holidays before school started.


Chapter 7

Today I got up early and the weather was perfect and warm, warm enough for a day at the beach.
Nana packed a picnic basket for me to take down to the beach. “Thanks Nana” I said as I kissed her on the cheek and headed out the door to the beach. The walk was shorter than I remembered, but then again I was only ten when I last took a walk to the beach. I put down the picnic basket, took out a large towel and sat down with a good book to read.
I was just getting to the good part when I heard someone yell my name, “Kayla!” he called. I looked up to find Seth making his way over to me. “Hi Kayla, catching some last minute sun?” he asked smiling. “Hey Seth, yeah, the little there is” I answered. “Can I sit?” he asked. “Sure, what you been up to?” I asked as he sat down on the towel next to me. “Oh the same ol’, us guys have been quite busy, you know?” he said then realising he might have said a bit too much. I frowned at his comment and he just responded by shrugging his shoulders.

We then got stuck into talking about school; Seth was telling me who goes to the high school on the reservation, when I heard his stomach rumble. “Lunch?” I asked, pointing to the picnic basket. “Sure, starving as usual” he laughed. We packed out the food Nana put in and started munching on it.

“Have you seen Quil, Embry and Jake around these days?” I asked Seth in between bites of my sandwich. “They are fine, Embry has been hanging a lot with his girlfriend Kim, Quil he’s doing fine, just been busy, Jake, well Jake is in this triangle of love….” He stopped in his tracks. “Said too much, sorry, I’ve got to go, thanks for lunch Kayla, catch you later!” he said as he jumped up and jogged from the beach, not giving me a chance to respond or say anything.

I decided I would go for a swim and enjoy the sun while I was out. I pulled my shorts and t shirt off and ran into the water. I had been swimming for a while when the weather starting changing. I
