The Hunt:

Chapter 1

Faster! In pushed myself, you can beat him. Come on Nessie faster this is easy. I chanted to myself over and over again but it didn't help Jacob was still to giant wolf leaps ahead of me.

Ugh! Okay I am lighter and more graceful them him so I should just use that. I pushed off the ground and swung forward on a nearby tree limp. Wow! What a rush. The bright green foliage whipped pass my face and tickled my skin. From tree to tree I pushed on, looking down I realized that I had caught up with Jake some, but he was still winning.

I kept my eyes trained on his beautiful mahogany tinted fur, and the most stunning brown eyes stared up at me, sigh, I loved these eyes, I had only been staring into them what? My whole life!

Jake had always been there for me from when I was a baby and needed a bottle, to when I was 6 and scraped my knee Jake had been my mother's best friend when she was a human and now he was MY best friend.

He moved with me everywhere I went. We lived in forks till I was 2 years old, physical 5. then we moved to the out shirts of a small town in South America with the Brazilian coven. It was really rainy there so my parents went out when it was over cast or when it was after sunset.

We stayed there for a year but it was so hard being separated from the pack for both me and Jake that we built a house midway of both la push and Alaska, where our "cousins" lived, and just commuted back and forth. However Jake and I, sometimes the whole family, spent summers in Brazil.

I was now physically 16, but only 9 in human years. My growth had slow drastically when I was about 12, in the last two years I had grown the rate of a normal human.

But I was anything but normal I could run faster than any automobile and lift 3 times my weight. With all the study's grandpa Carlisle did we learned that I was not simple half human and half vampire for example we previously thought that my body was just stronger than the average human and weaker than the average vampire.

We found later that my bones and skin was almost completely vampire while my organs- expect for my heart- were also almost completely human. So I was a young beautiful (so Jacob said), immortal teenager. Worrying about money was not a factor, and I had my best friend with me… ugh that word friend I hated referring to Jacob that way, he was so much more than a friend to me or so I want him to be. It started a few month ago I was in the kitchen learning some Spanish dish from Senna on one of her visits to Alaska and Jake walked in.. Shirtless. My heart started to beat over time I had a blush that spread from my head to my toes. Then he cracked a smile at me, he had the most beautiful ivory teeth that contrasted against his dark copper skin. Ever since then my palms start to get wet when I around him and I get so nervous whenever he stares at me (which is often) or just glanced at me. It's like he can read my mind by just looking at me. And if he read my mind he would probably be sooo grossed out. I was just a little kid to him, but to me everything about Jacob was so sincere, not always nice though, he had a beautiful soul not to mention an absolutely tantalizing body, I adored him.

I looked ahead and we were near our location. The lake, me and Jacob found it a few years back when I was like 12. I give up on winning and just ran, then out of now where I had the weirdest most painful sensation. I kept running then I consider stopping, that's when I smelt it, blood, my blood. I looked to Jake hoping that he hadn't smelt it he would over react but it was too late he looked at me with a pained expression and slowed to a jog.
