Good day everyone. I'm more of a reader than a writer. But i would like to give writing a chance. I hope you'll give me constructive criticism and review what you think about this fanfiction.

I'm also looking for a Beta reader. If anyone is interested or have a suggestion please PM me. Thank you.

GIFT OF PERSUASION

Summary: I've been on the run for more than a century. All I wanted is to live my entire if not some of my existence with people who I can call family. Ever since my mother was killed I had been alone and trying to live a life. When I thought everything is at its end karma sent me my saving grace. Whoever said karma's a bitch is lying cause' fate is. A Jacob/oc story.

Run. That's the only thought that has been on my mind for more than a century. Hiding has become my way of life. Never staying too long in one place. That's how I survived. Until four days ago when he found me and I barely escape with my life. I've been running since. It's been so long ago since he last found me and I'm beginning to think he died. Of course fate being a bitch won't let me have this gift. I didn't know how he found me. And I didn't have the chance to think about it. Heck, my body hasn't recovered yet. The bone in my right arm is broken while my other arm is badly damaged and the shoulder dislocated. You'd think since I have more than a century of existence I'd learn how to set it right well your sadly mistaken and it's not due to lack of trying. I'm just thankful my legs only received bruises and cuts. No matter how big they are at least I can run. My body should be able to heal itself given time and rest. The thing is I haven't yet got the chance to just lie down and rest longer than six for the last four days.

As of the moment I am running around the forest of forks. I plan to swim from the beach of La push toward some land I don't know yet. Though how I'll be able to swim in my current state is still a big "I don't know". I'll just think of something when I'm there. I figured he'd have harder time to track me if I get into the water since it seemed to work most of the time. I think I've lost him two days ago. But I need to be sure.

I should have been there already but my body just refused to cooperate. I stop and leaned on a tree to catch my breath and rest for a while. I look down at my barefoot my used to be polished nails now lined with dirt. When I feel safe enough I'm so going to get myself more than a pair of shoes. My mid back length honey blond hair sticking to my skin due to sweat. My dark green knee length dress looks very much worn out and have holes in it. I let out a sigh of frustration at everything that happened to me. It's not like I expect to be in a better state after last Thursday but a girl can dream and I dream. Big time.

The scrunching of branches and fallen leaves bring me back to my senses. And my heart pick up its pace. I slowly scan my surrounding for an enemy because no human in their right mind would go hiking this deep in the forest at this time of night.

'It's freaking midnight already.'

I closed my hand into a fist 'heavens! I hope I'm just being paranoid. Please let it be paranoia.'

Then I saw it. Eyes glimmering in the dark with jaws wide open. A dark grey wolf the size of a horse standing in between the trees and ready to pounce. I felt my body go rigid and I instinctively take a step back.

'Who won't?' A giant wolf is in front me baring its jaws. It's not normal.'

Usually animals don't scare me, wolf or not. But I think we've established that this is not normal. I searched my mind of what it could be and I didn't really need to try hard enough. 'Werewolves' I thought 'but aren't they supposed to be extinct?'.

Well obviously they are not and another obvious thing I need to run. As I am about to run… again. 'I've been running a lot this past week. I mean more than the usual'. I heard growls from every side of the forest. And I counted at least seven pairs of eyes surrounding me and I could still sense many of them hiding… waiting. Each of the wolves is big enough to eat me whole.

I feel my legs starting to give in. In my state I'm not even sure I can out run one wolf let alone a pack. I gather what was left of my courage and with all the confidence and power I could muster I speak. Well more like shout. "Go away! Turn your heads and never disturb me again."

Some of the smaller ones did and the others are starting to move away. I feel hope starting to creep in my system. But it is easily trashed when I heard a terrifying growl and they all came back into their senses.

'Damn it! Can't I be lucky just one time? I should have known stopping isn't a good idea. It hasn't even been ten minutes and I haven't caught my breath yet. It's more probable that I'll stop breathing any minute now.' During my internal litany a black wolf, the most massive of them as far as I can see walked in my line of vision. Jaws wide open and eyes menacing it stalked toward me.

I tried very hard not to show weakness but I guess that's a little late and just can't be done as I'm starting to shake with fear. 'I don't want to die. I promise my mother I won't. I'll live long enough to be happy. I'll live my life.' But as the beast approached me I thought that maybe I won't keep up to that promise. Maybe a century of running is enough and their offering me a way out.

I look in the wolf's eyes and my heart goes to overdrive. The fears that have consumed me for days, the pain and the fatigue that I felt clashed together. I breathe heavily and I felt being lightheaded and my vision blurring. 'shit! This is not the time to faint'. The black wolf was only two meters away from me. It can practically see fear in my dark brown eyes.

And I feel myself faint.

My last conscious thought being 'I, Justine Whitlock, am about to die.'
