Summary: Jacob discovers dead body in his car, how was he to know the corpse would follow him to the end of his days. Jacob x Edward ficlets

1. "Goodnight"

Charlie was a bit skeptical.

"So you're saying that you found a dead body in your car and now you can't find it? Jacob, this is silly! You just can't joke about this kind of thing. There've been a few incidents as of late…"

Jacob pointed and made wild arm motions, "I swear, Chief Swan, there was a dead body in my car! It was a dude! His eyes were open, in this dad green color!" Jacob dropped his arms, "C'mon, man, the dead guy was propped in my passenger seat. I should know!"

Jacob was nervous now. The body was a pale boy whose eyes were vacant.

"I friggin' I touched it."

Charlie placed his hand on his hip, and leaned a bit forward. A fleeting thought came to him; Jacob was graduating this year he was going to be a man as quickly as Bella had become a woman. The flashing sirens illuminated Jacob's lanky frame. The kid's hair was overdue for a haircut and the tall frame was still filling out. He was very much still a child, for some reason that relaxed Charlie a bit.

Charlie shook his head. Jacob was a good kid, his friendship with Bella proved that much, but Jacob was notorious for his elaborate pranks. One involved flooding the high school gym, then another incident where one student ended up hoisted on the flagpole. A missing statue head that was never found, although Jacob was certainly involved with it.

He noted the desperation in the boy's eyes. Maybe there was something….

Against his better judgment, Charlie decided to humor the kid.

"Look if you leave your car here for the night I'll poke around for some kind of evidence. Just take a run, it's just up the road anyway. I'd give you a ride home but….."

Jacob placed a hand behind his head and scratched.

"Yeah, I guess I can run home. It is only about a mile out."

Jacob gave one last look to his rabbit. There was an officer leaning over his passenger seat. He pursed his lips and sniffled a bit. He inclined his head in Charlie's direction.

"See you Charlie."

Jacob bounded up the road.

"Later kid…"

The lamp was on in Jacob's room even though the boy was curled asleep on the couch.

Some time during the night Jacob found himself rather cold.

"Mmmmhhhmm….. cold….." he murmured.

"….oh take the blanket then….." a soft voice whispered int his ear.

Something warm wrapped around Jacob.

"…..thank you….." Jacob said into the blanket.

A soft laugh flittered out.

"You're welcome."

"….mmmmm…. goodnight."

Something cold touched his forehead.

"Good night Jacob."

Jacob grumbled and cracked an eye open. Wide topaz colored eyes stared into his. His eyes blinked a few times getting rid of the bleariness. A boy was there, naked…

He sat up. The blanket wrapped around him fell a bit.

Then he shot up, "Oh Go-!"

The naked boy leaped pinning Jacob back down on the bed. A hand pressed over his mouth muffling any coherent words that tried to spill out.

"…bemme…lo…" Jacob squirmed but the naked person pushed their weight down and Jacob found he couldn't move. A second hand held his wrist firmly together above his head causing his body to lean slightly off the bed.

"Shh….."

Jacob's fruitless struggles renewed.

"I'm not going to hurt you." The soft voice whispered.

His voice was pleasant and clear, like a bell. It held a musical quality that had Jacob feeling slightly airy. The hands effectively restraining him were cold, ice cold.

The moonlight filtered into the room, hitting the skin of the individual. He was pale, terribly pale. Like a corpse, there was a sickly gray tint to the skin.

Jacob narrowed his eyes.

"Look just calm down, I could've killed you two hours ago when I snuck in."

Jacob ceased his struggles, but bit attackers hand.

Pain!

The skin seemed soft enough but his teeth hurt.

"You're being foolish; don't treat me like a stranger. It's not like we haven't met, right."

The obviously male figure released him and stood up.

Jacob fought the naïve urge to cover his eyes.

He looked at the face of the boy.

"You're the dead guy!" he yelled.

He felt vertigo hit him suddenly and Jacob fainted.

Okay there it is if people like it enough… I will post a bit every night (maybe two).
