By Casper

.

AN: Just some Jacob/Alice interaction. The two just seem like the type to get along out of the groups. At least to me anyway.

"Wolf" Her cool clipped voice called, addressing him in a polite manner though Jacob doubted he was welcome.

Giving her a nod of his head, he stepped toward Bella only to be cut off by the black haired vampire. Her eyes watched carefully, obviously protecting Bella in Edward's stead.

"He's fine Alice," Bella laid a gentle hand on the woman's shoulder causing Jacob to whimper. Why did she have to taint her smell with theirs? It just wasn't natural at all.

Bella seemed to have noted the tone in his whimper as she made her way to Jacob, her hands stretching out to touch his fur. Immediately he stepped in to her touch, craving the feel of her warm tender hands stroking him.

"You should be nicer to her you know." Bella mumbled against his ear, continuing to scratch at his fur as he started to give a low rumble of approval toward her actions. She smiled and glanced back to find the pixie faced Alice scowling.

"And he's not so bad either." She gave a slow unsure nod but didn't argue.

Jacob had to concur, he didn't hate this Cullen. She seemed to understand their relationship enough to keep quiet. Yes, he definitely liked the quiet one.

"She's not usually so quiet," A voice spoke, calling his direction toward Edward.

Jacob tilted his head toward the vampire, awkwardly unsure of what to do.

Rolling her eyes, Bella gave another pet to his ear before walking back toward Alice who was joined by Edward and Esme in the clearing.

"Have you located Victoria's party?"
