Chapter Two, Starting School

It has been two weeks since some of the Quilete tribe visited and now it was the day Orion had been dreading, his first day at Forks High and he was petrified. He was currently sitting on the stairs wringing his hands together nervously and gnawing on his bottom lip; he was terrified about being near all of these people, even if it was for only half a day. His parents had cleared it with the Headmaster of the school for him to come in only for half a day for a couple of weeks as he got used to being around people again, as long as his parents or those from the tribe who were moving to the school were with him, and helped him catch up on his homework and school work the Headmaster said they had no problem with it.

"Orion, there you are!" Sirius said relieved as he sat next to his son on the stairs wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "Your mother and I were getting worried about you." He said kissing Orion's forehead as Orion curled into his side. "I'm scared daddy." Orion whispered sounding like a small child as tears filled his eyes, his hands holding tightly to his father's work shirt. "I know puppy and we're sorry that we're the ones who are causing you to be scared, but if we don't send you we'll get into trouble and if you stay inside all the time Andromeda said you won't get better.

We'll take this at your pace though, even if it's only you going in half a day for a whole term it doesn't matter as long as you go. But if you really can't stand it we'll pull you out straight away I promise damn the consequences. Let's just do baby steps first, yeah?" Orion nodded his head hesitantly after giving it some thought. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life indoors he knew he needed to go out to get better, but it was just hard. "They'll stay with me. Won't they?" Orion asked his father with wide doe like eyes. Sirius's heart clenched at the pure terror on his baby's face and held him tighter. "Of course they will.

They're all overprotective of you and at least two of them are in the same classes as you, except for Leah as she's two years older than you, but you'll see her at lunch and break. They won't leave you puppy I promise even if they have to wait outside the bathroom while you go, they'll do it. Now why don't you go and brush your teeth and get dressed as we'll be leaving soon." Sirius said directing his son up the stairs.

"Orion remember that you can call either Remus or myself if it gets too much for you and one of us will come pick you up." Sirius said as he turned back to look at his son who was sitting slightly curled up behind the front passenger seat, that Remus was occupying. Orion nodded but he still didn't exit the car. "Ori you'll be fine I promise you," Remus assured smiling at his son who smiled slightly back, he turned around to look out the front window when he heard someone call their name, only to smile when he saw Jacob, Seth, Leah, Quil and Embry walking towards their car.

"Look Ori," Sirius said pointing out the window as he too had spotted them. "They're all here waiting for you and I know that they will never let anything happen to you cub I promise. They see you as their cousin, well you're Jacob's cousin and I know he and the others will protect you." Orion nodded and he seemed to visually gathering his courage as he smiled weakly at his parents as he undid his seatbelt and hugged his parents tightly.

"Have a good day cub and I'll pick you up after lunch." Remus told him. Nodding Orion checked his father's scarf was still in place before reaching for the handle, he hesitated slightly before taking a deep breath and exiting the car. Closing the door he tensed when everyone looked at him. "Hello little cuz." Jacob said as he and the others blocked him from sight as much as they could as he waved goodbye to his mum and dad.

"Hello." Orion whispered quietly so only those near him could hear. He flinched slightly as Jake and Seth put their arms around his shoulders, which they thankfully ignored as they steered him to a corner of the car park where there was a bench they could sit on until it was time for them to get their timetables and other things they would need to collect from the office.

"Are you okay Ori?" Seth asked concerned as he sat next to the smaller boy. Orion shrugged his shoulders looking down at his feet and lightly scuffed his green converse high tops on the floor, he knew how he felt he just didn't want to admit that he was absolutely terrified as he didn't want to make a big thing out of it and draw everyone's attention to himself and run the risk of being attacked again.

As if knowing how he was feeling and what he was thinking Leah surprisingly pulled him into a firm hug her arms wrapped tightly around him in a comforting hug. "You don't need to worry Ori we'll protect you I promise. You don't have to be afraid." Leah said kissing his forehead in the way she used to do to Seth when he was scared. "Thank you, Leah." Orion said softly as he pulled back from her hug only to freeze when he caught the smell of something that smelled like a predator; looking around Leah and Jacob he saw a group of what appeared to be teenagers who had incredibly pale skin and who were uncommonly beautiful.

He knew instantly what they were: vampires. He saw a girl with dark brown hair and dressed in dark browns standing with them that smelled human and he was confused as to why she was with them. "That's the Cullens and the brown haired girl is a human called Isabella Swan or Bella as she likes to be called is the Chief's daughter she's dating one of the Cullen's, the bronze haired one, I don't know why. They're a bunch of blood suckers no matter if they drink animal blood." Quill said seeing where Orion was looking.

Orion saw the group freeze and hiss something to each other and for the girl, Isabella to turn around to look at them. "Jake." She called out in a high shrill voice as she ran across the car park towards them, the Cullens following behind her. Flinching at the strangers coming towards them Orion hid himself behind his cousin which was helped by his much smaller frame and the fact the others were covering him on all sides so he was virtually invisible as their large sizes dwarfed his own making it easy to hide him.

"Jake what are you and the others doing here?" Bella demanded her arms crossed over her chest as she looked up at him a frown upon her face. "I don't see how that is any of your business Bella." Jake snapped at her while mentally thinking of things he needed to get for the car he was fixing. "You can stop trying to read our minds Cullen you're not getting anything out of us." Seth snapped angrily which was unusual for him, but like the rest of the pack he had become overprotective of Orion and would do anything to protect him and by any means necessary. Bella taken back by Seth's obvious aggression towards them frowned deeper as she thought back to when she'd first met him a couple of months ago. He was happy-go-lucky then she wondered what had changed.

"Why did you say what we are to the small blonde boy with you and who is currently hiding behind you all like a coward?!" Rosalie asked sneering at them. She hated the wolves with a passion and she hated the fact that there was another one that the pack failed to tell them about, but what bugged her the most was that this one smelled different to the others of the pack and it made her weary of him for he smelled like a wolf yet different and she hated feeling like that. "Leave my cousin out of this!" Jake snarled at the pompous blonde woman. "He has done nothing to you so leave him be and he had the right to know."

"You don't have a cousin." Bella argued looking confused. Sighing Jake barely restrained himself from pinching the bridge of his nose and growling in anger. "I don't have to tell you everything about my family Bella as it is none of your business." Bella opened her mouth with a no doubt angry retort only to be stopped by Leah, who was glaring and growling at Jasper who was trying to see past them with an awed and slightly frightened expression on his face and yet there was also a look of concern on his face too.

"Why is he frightened? Is he okay?" Jasper asked his southern accent thick with his concern. The rest of them took their eyes of off Bella, Edward and Rosalie to stare at Jasper incredulously along with his own family. "That is not yours or your family's business is it?" Jake growled rhetorically as he felt Orion's hands clench in his shirt and jacket. "Now if you don't mind we need to get our timetables and slips." Embry said tersely as he gently grabbed Orion's hand and started walking away from the Cullens and heading in the direction of the office, the others either next to Orion or behind them blocking him from view.

They ignored Bella calling after them as they walked closer to the Office they were just grateful that Edward managed to stop her from running after them or in other words Jake. Orion was scared enough as it was without her adding more to it, which was proven by how their sudden converge had affected him for Embry could feel his tiny hand shaking within his own much larger one. "It's alright Ori, I won't let them near you again I promise." Embry swore and he would keep to that promise for he wanted nothing from the Cullens and he would be dead before he allowed them anywhere near Ori, especially Jasper for he didn't like the way he looked at Ori.

It wasn't a horrible look like what Edward and Rosalie threw at them but it was a look of awe as if Orion was suddenly the centre of his world and Embry for one thought that was worse than the others and he'd make sure Orion was always far away from him. Looking at Jake, Quil, Leah and even Seth he knew that they all saw the look as well and felt the way he did, one thing he was certain on though, was that once the rest of the pack found out not to mention Ori's parents Jasper would be hard pressed to even spend two seconds with Ori and that was how he wanted it to stay.
