Chapter 1: They Day Jacob Stood Still
It was morning. The forest cold and quiet, moisture clung in the air. There was no sound of footsteps, just a slight panting. Finally Jacob reached the edge of the forest. He was tired, his muscles sore, his body aching. He was ready for bed, glad his shift of patrolling was over. He waited for Jared to come before he set off to his house. Sitting on a hill at the entrance of the forest, Jacob took in the place he called home, La Push. It was a quiet town. The sound of a truck backing up broke the silence. Well, it was quiet at times. Jacob watched a moving trucking back into a drive way two doors down from his own home. A new jeep Cherokee pulling in behind the moving truck bringing up the end was an old ford bronco. The driver of the jeep stepped out it was an older woman, not older than 40, dark hair and slightly tanned skin. She moved to meet the movers and entered the house. Jacobs's attention then turned to the bronco, it was nice old SUV. The door opened as the driver stepped out. Jacobs' eyes widened, focusing on the girl, no she was no girl she was young woman. She was absolutely stunning. Quileute, beautiful, tall, toned, and smelt like heaven. She had dark black brown hair to her elbows, had all the right curves in all the right places, and russet skin slightly lighter than his own. She had the bluest eyes and fullest lips. Jacob wanted her and only her. That moment he knew he had imprinted. Jared came moments later and immediately knew what happened. He congratulated Jacob and told the pack. Jacob's tiredness set in, but he promised himself he'd see her later that day.
And indeed he did. He stopped by the new neighbor's house offering any help moving in. Michelle, the older woman, thanked him but said the movers and helped her and her daughter, Layla move in already. Jacob picked up on a shocking sent, werewolf, but shook it off, this woman wasn't one of them. Michelle offered Jacob lunch but he said he was meeting friends for lunch so she invited him and his father and his friends to dinner, she'd cook plenty. That threw him off a bit but shook it off. Michelle had a twinkle in her eye; she said her goodbyes and then told Jacob that Layla was surfing down at the beach if he wanted to meet her.
Jacob made a beeline for the beach. Quil and Embry would have to meet him there. Jacob was excited to see his imprint again. He waited impatiently at the top of the stairs for his friends. When they arrived a few moments later Jacob booked it down the stairs and began trudging through the sand towards the water but stopped in his tracks completely mesmerized at the sight he saw. Quil and Embry were shoving each other around not paying any attention till they saw Jacob come to a standstill. Coming to his side their jaws dropped. There was Layla, Jacobs's Layla running out the ocean onto the beach, dripping wet, with a surf board, looking hotter than ever.
Layla noticed the boys staring and decided to play. She dug her board into the sand and shook her hair of the access water, like a dog. She wondered if it would give her away but thought nothing of it. She grabbed her board and lightly jogged towards the boys making sure her lips pouted just enough to look sexy and squinted her eyes enough to make them look sexier than they already were. She slowed done when she reached the boys.
"Nice swells today" she said. Her voice sounded like music and yet it had a seductive undertone to it. She laughed to herself when the boys mumbled a reply. "I'm new, I'm Layla, Layla Aki". That flew right over the boys. She smiled, "Do you three have names?"
"Uh..huh.. Yeah, YEAH..," Layla scrunched back a little with wide eyes but a playful smile on her face as she looked at Jacob," Im Jakob, I mean Jacob, I'm Jacob, Jacob Black, call me yake, I mean Jake" Layla smiled thinking he was cute and very handsome. For some reason she felt drawn to him. "Hi Jake" she said with butterflies in her stomach. She looked at Quil and Embry, " What about you two?"
"Quil" Quil shouted. Smiling like a goof ball. "That Embry"
"Well it nice to meet you Quil and Embry". She smiled at the boys, "Maybe you guys can come over sometime, maybe dinner? I just moved into the cabin house with green roof."
"Uh, yeah I live two doors down" Jacob finally spoke finding his voice. "Cool, See ya around" and with that she disappeared behind them, yet when the guys turned around she was gone. A moment later they smelt it. A familiar yet different scent, a werewolf was near. Could it be?
Sorry it's a little short I'm trying to figure out how long each chapter is on word looks like on the internet. If they are too short I'll make bigger chapters.
Review please! Thank you!
