The Heat
Bella's POV
*Four Years Ago* Age Fourteen
I was running. On four legs, it was unbelievable. One moment I was angry at my father. Then an explosion went off in my head. A second of snap pain, ringing in my ear then I'm running through the forest behind my house.
Its incredible. The feeling, I've been running for hours and it feels just like I've only been running for two minutes. I dodged trees so swiftly I had to assume this was a dream. I'm not graceful or smooth.
I reached a long river, next to a meadow. I jumped down on the rocks then onto the riverbank and looked at myself. My eye color had turned black like an animals, but retained a certain human-like quality. My fur color was the same color as my hair, dark chocolate brown, reddish streaks that only shown in the bright moonlight.
I lapped some of the water with my long tongue. My image shattered as the water rippled. I closed my eyes then opened them again. In the mirroring water was another large wolf like me behind me.
I spun around quickly and lost my balanced. My paw slipped and my muzzle fell in the river. My fur dripped wet and I tried to shake it off.
The other wolf was now up on a rock, his body was shaking. His head was between his paws. Obviously laughing. I flicked my tail at him and jumped to the other side of the river.
The other wolf came up beside me and rubbed his flank against mine. I snapped at him, trying to warn him off. He didn't take this to heart because he jumped in front of me his front half down and his behind in the air. He wiggled it slightly. I didn't understand what he wanted from me. He stood up. He was much taller then I was so it was a little intimidating. His ears perked up and he cocked his head to the side. Then he crouched down and turned into a human again.
'how did he do that?' I thought. He said something. I didn't quite hear him. He said it again much slower this time. I caught the word. He said 'human'. Instantly my body reacted changing me back. I wobbled a little from the sudden change. He caught me before I fell into a tree.
We laughed a little, he looked deeply into my eyes smiling widely. I looked down blushing. I felt his hand lift my chin to look back at him.
"I'm Jake." He said, he sounded really young and looked it too. Probably fifteen maybe but still young.
"I'm Bella." I said.
*Present*
That was the night I met Jake. Stupid asshole. That was three years ago today. Here I was now, sitting outside of this little dirty-as-fuck cave. We both lived here. Jake convinced me when I was young to run away. He had convinced me that my father wouldn't love me or accept me anymore. And the sad thing was I believed him.
I heard him groan as he woke up. I rolled my eyes. I've really come to detest him. His over-controlingness, stupid male ego. I felt him come up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. I pulled away from him.
"I told you to stop that, personal space. Remember?" He chuckled and pulled me to him again. I sighed and went with it. He never listened to me anyway.
"Hey, why don't you catch us breakfast and I'll get the fire started." He grunted and left. I looked after him and sighed then leaned down to start a fire for him.
