Kate Denali

" If we live through this, I'll follow you anywhere, woman. " " Now he tells me. "

The near-constant rain that Forks was known for had set in once again. Jessica wouldn’t consider it proper rain, but it was definitely a drizzle. She wasn’t sure how long it would be until it stopped, but she wasn’t fazed. She was used to it, and it made walking down the street much more interesting. She began to hum ‘Singing in the Rain’ to herself (for what reason, she wasn’t quite sure), then started singing aloud. After a line, she realised that she wasn’t singing quite as softly as she’d thought, and had attracted the gaze of a passerby. Her words trailed off into silence as an almost sheepish smile graced her lips. “Uh, sorry?”

Kate had figured it was time to expand her wardrobe a little and go shopping. She wasn’t a big fan of it, because it always took a lot of time and she wasn’t able to speed it up because there were always people around, who had no idea the supernatural world existed. She was going to the mall when she noticed a girl walking in front of her and humming a song. It wasn’t long until she broke into a song. “No, it’s all right. I liked it,” she offered her a warm smile. “You have a nice voice, by the way!”

“If nothing else, it can’t be comfortable,” Maggie half frowned. “But it has to break decency laws or something to see half a person’s bum.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“Precisely. I fail to see how can someone wear so little and still feel comfortable. And I don’t think there are any laws regarding to that, because some of the guys I’ve seen around the high school wear their jeans so low that I’m surprised they haven’t dropped to their angles yet. How are they holding them up? I have a guess, but... that’s not very crazy and a bit immature one,” Kate chuckled lowering her head a little.

“Wait, that’s actually a thing? I thought that was a joke.”

“Oh, uh, I came here looking for my dad–my biological dad. And you know, all things considered I figured it’d be for the best to stay.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“That is, that definitely is! You can ask another woman this, if you’re brave enough.”

“Oh, I see. And how did it go? Did you find him?”

[malicecullen-blog]

“You’re definitely a lucky lady! Oh, the music is something that I will never understand. Don’t get me wrong, I do love some of the hits of today, but it just doesn’t compare, in my book.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“And you? Does Jasper pay court to you?” Kate asked a small smirk creeping up on her lips. “Exactly. Some of them are good, but not the most part.”

“I don’t think many of our kind would say no to a good fight.” Rosalie laughed softly at her cousins words. There was no doubt in her mind that most of them would line up to get a chance to destroy something reckless. “Poor Garrett.” She shook her head. “I’m surprised he doesn’t have a perm by now.” Kate’s electricity was extremely impressive! Nothing that Rosalie wanted to feel again.

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“That is true,” Kate nodded in agreement. A lot of supernatural creatures, who she knew, would be willing to fight if needed, and Rosalie’s Emmett would probably be on the first line next to Kate. “He has, he just hides it well,” Kate joked chuckling a little. “No, I don’t use my gift on him. Back then was a one time thing. But now I can’t do it, I don’t want to hurt him.”

“There’s so many ways that scenario could have played out, you just choose to gawk over them and watch. Don’t lie to yourself, you guys have no boundaries anyways.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“Well, I would explain myself, but I have a feeling you have your mind set on one thing and there isn’t anything that could change it, so there’s no use of me explaining what happened. Or explaining anything for that matter.”

[jcsephoikos-blog]

“Honestly, I feel you on that, it’s so annoying. I mean, at least have the decency to go and suck each other’s faces off in private.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“Ah, yes, I’m glad I’m not the only one who think that! Call me old fashioned, but that is... unpleasant view. It makes me really uncomfortable, you get me?”

[xxstewskikisxx]

How are you two doing? Still going strong?

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

Pretty much, yes. I want to take things slow, which he doesn’t mind, and it’s great! We are like... I don’t know, we just complete each other. It’s nice.

Never before had Rosalie found someone with the same mind-frame about their current situation. Most would consider her dramatic in her fears about being destroyed. Aro was annihilating covens of those with extraordinary gifts and most in Forks, save her, had them. “Alice would see if they wanted to come for us.” Hopefully anyway. “Right now we just have to hope the random nomads aren’t going to stir up any trouble. The Volturi would put the responsibility on us.” Which then would give them a reason to do what Aro has been wanting for some time.

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“If anything happens regarding to those nomads, who are roaming around this place, you can count me in, I’m not going to say ‘no’ to a fight,” Kate said grinning. She loved a good fight and random nomads were no match for her - she was older, more skilled and she could electrocute people with just one touch. “Besides it would be good for Garrett to practice his combat skills on someone other than me.”

[malicecullen-blog]

“Time’s have changed, unfortunately. I was discussing with Rosalie how I miss the ways of courting someone back in the day, not too long ago. OH! And don’t even get me started on the music scene these days. I will admit that I do love some of the songs out now, but nothing beats the big bands.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“Luckily I have a man by my side, who knows what courting is. That is sexy. Now all I hear around is ‘girl, you fine, wanna bang?’ Oh, and the music... There’s that Iggy girl, who claims to be ‘amaryllis’... I’m too old for that.”

[isabeau-fontaine-deactivated201]

“I wonder the same thing,” Isabeau smiled, sitting next to the other vampire. “I remember when showing your ankles was scandalous.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“Oh, I don’t miss those times! Not even a little bit,” Kate chuckled looking at her friend. “Bare ankles - that already was erotic for some men.”

[i-will-know-the-truth-deactivat]

“I don’t know,” Maggie smiled at Kate, sitting next to her. “Although, I’m pretty pleased about being able to show my ankles in public! And bathing suits without woolen stockings are a nice improvement.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

Kate led out a small chuckle as the other vampire replied. “Yes, that is a nice change,” she said and nodded approvingly. “But I’m not sure I’m happy about seeing a girl’s string panties coming out of her jeans,” Kate scrunched her nose.

[thedarkestofsecrets-deactivated]

“But waitm why does yes mean no and no mean yes and fine mean the world is ending? Why is it so confusing. Not really just trying to understand it all, Ness is getting older so I don’t want to get on her bad side. Also with Bella’s new strength I don’t want to test my life here.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“It depends on the context really, but... I don’t know how to explain, we, girls, feel it in our guts what the other think. But I get you. Emotions, feelings, thoughts... they are confusing for all of us. But for you I suggest to look in her eyes, they always tell everything.”

[likexhellfire-blog]

“Well I don’t like clothes–never have. I guess I know why now but still. Dude spending three years in a uniform sucks, let me tell ya. So yeah, abolish shirts 2013.”

“Plus if that’s what I wanted I’d just go back to Cali. My family lived right near the beach so it’s pretty much a usual sight.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“That sounds something like women and bras - most of them love to take them off as soon as they are home. It’s a nice feeling, I must admit.”

“But just out of curiosity, what brings you here? California seems to be a nicer place than always cloudy and rainy Forks.”

[oldestclearwater-deactivated201]

 “And watching them make out suddenly makes you a creep, congratulation.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

“You say that like I wanted to watch. Well, I would have loved to jump over them and keep going, but that would bring too much attention to me.”

[dimi-mendeleev-blog]

“Not a single doubt about it.” Garrett agreed as seriously as he could before breaking into a grin. Oh, how amusing that would be. To see the Volturi come crumbling down all thanks to one woman– his woman. It was unfortunate that that wasn’t their reality, but what was the chance that Garrett would see Kate off to fight them all on her own, even if her success was guaranteed? The answer: none.

“You were acting on your instincts– doing exactly what felt right in your heart.” He replied, his grin diminishing a little as he lifted Kate’s hand, pressing a featherlight kiss to the back. “While it’s a relief to know you don’t plan on doing anything so reckless again, I don’t think anyone could predict what your fiery little self is going to do until you’ve already done it.” And that surprise, that willpower was part of Kate’s charm, as far as Garrett was concerned. She was a force of nature– a storm in her own right. She had the power to bring people to their knees, but it was rare that she actually struck. It was why he loved her.

Surprised by the sudden action, Garrett allowed himself to be pulled into the hug. It took him just a moment to process what was actually happening before he could return the embrace– a bright smile shining on his face. “Me too.” He replied effortlessly, swearing for just a moment that he could feel his heart contract at the admission from his mate. “Me too, Kate.”

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

"And my instincts said to run right into my demise,” she said with a little bit of sadness in her eyes. “You saved my life,” Kate lowered her voice as she said that. It was true - he saved her and not just then on that field, but also when he came in Kate’s life. “That’s just me,” she casually shrugged it off after Garrett’s little confession. This was not the first time she had heard that, but not in those exact words. She had already made Tanya mad with being unpredictable, but Kate liked it that way, especially when she could irritate others with that. Besides it was very useful in a combat. “So... I’m guessing you would have never ever thought I would stop you the way I did, right?” A small grin appeared on her lips.

It was unusual to show her affection like this, but a hug seemed to be right in this moment, besides it was nice to wrap her arms around him and feel him do the same. His replay to Kate’s little outburst of emotions made her smile even wider and sh could almost feel the warmth going through her body again.

Kate was so into their own little world, that she didn’t notice that the human scent had disappeared. “Seems like the coast is clear,” she said taking in a deep breath. “I guess it will be enough practicing for today, don’t you think?”

[dimi-mendeleev-blog]

“That too, I suppose.” Garrett chuckled, despite feeling that the kiss gave him a shock just as electrifying as Kate’s touch. Perhaps that was the reason her gift manifested the way it did. Because she was stunning in all ways, in life or after. Garrett didn’t dare try to explain such thoughts to Kate, though. Nor did he care to elaborate on what his words truly meant, knowing that while he did want her to hear them– she still wasn’t ready. He was the kind of man to shout his feelings to the world, but she was the kind of woman that needed time. And that much, he could grant her.

The taller of the two rolled his eyes as the compliment was returned, smiling fondly down at Kate. Carlisle too had complimented him on his endurance, which he found ridiculous in comparison to what Kate could so. Really, all he had done was lock his hands around the other’s body, hugging her close as the pain took him. He laid there. “What can I say? Holding you comes naturally, especially when you’re trying to charge an army.” He snickered at his own take on events. “Let’s just try not testing it full throttle next time, shall we?”

Because while Garrett had full faith in his ability to keep Kate safe, even from herself, he wasn’t sure how he’d fair against her gift without their impending doom serving as motivation.

[katrinaxdenali-blog]

She could feel there were things he wanted to say to her, but he kept them inside. Of course, Kate was curious to what was that, but she was afraid to ask. What if she couldn’t handle it? What if she couldn’t reply with the same? Well, she would, if he would confess his love to her, but if that was anything else... She didn’t know what to expect, and it was quite intimidating. She wished for the best, but expected the worst.

“I could have took them down single handed, all of them,” she nodded trying to act serious, although she was joking. It was impossible to take down all of them, she would have get ripped apart in the first five seconds, but luckily there was Garrett, who was able to hold her down despite of everything and that truly meant something. “I promise I won’t be that reckless anymore,” she said lightly squeezing his hand. Now she had a lot to lose and she had promised herself and Garrett to be careful, and she wasn’t going to break that promise.

Letting her emotions get the best of her, she pulled him in for a hug and tightly wrapped her arms around his waist and let her head rest on his chest, but after a few moments she lifted it up and looked at him. “I’m glad we met,” she smiled as she let him know what was on her mind.
