I ran, further than I thought was even humanly possible. That's the thing though. Human. I've almost forgotten what it felt like to walk on two legs. The pain in my side increased tenfold, making me howl in pain. The noise echoed all around the sickeningly green forest around me. Where was I? I hadn't seen even a street sign in months. When was the last time I had eaten? 6 months ago? Guess my new body had a better metabolism than I thought. I had to keep running. I had nowhere to go anymore. I wasn't accepted with my family, in my society, I wouldn't fit in anywhere. I was a monster now. I was a beast in every sense of the word. There was nothing left for me in that world. There was only this. Solitude. I couldn't afford to get anyone else hurt.

Jacob sighed and stretched, his tan skin shining in the moonlight. It had been a long night. Too freaking long patrolling along the borderline. He was sick the patrolling. It had started up again since the leeches came back. Since Edward came back. Jacob forced back a sneer. He came back and took Bella into his arms again like the last few months had never happened. Like Bella's heart had never been snapped apart. And Bella let him. Moved Jake into last priority like he hadn't taken her into his arms while she slowly returned to normal. Like he hadn't completely fallen in love with her. Life sucked.

A howl of agony reached his ears, making the hairs on his neck stand on end. One of his pack? It didn't sound like it. Whatever it was, it was on their territory. He launched himself into a run, pushing past the trees, sprinting towards the sound. The smell reached his first. A mixture of lavender and blood.

He entered the clearing, and almost turned right back around. His brown eyes widened in complete shock. A snow white wolf, almost exactly the same as his pack, was sprawled in the middle of the forest floor, whimpering and howling in pain, moving its legs in a week attempt to move. A gash a wide and as deep as Jacob's forearm bloodied the wolf's side, and one of its legs was broken. Jacob's heart broke for the poor animal.

Suddenly, the wolf's eyes found his own. Jacob was stunned by the deep blue. No wolf he had ever met had blue eyes.

Help me…please…

Jacob gasped as the warm, honey sweet voice enveloped his mind. What kind of thing had that ability?

I do, and I'm not a thing you jerk!

Jacob jumped and slowly approached the wolf, staring into the deep blue eyes.

"Who are you?" Jacob asked, eyes widening as the wolf wheezed out what sounded like a laugh.

My name is Angelique Arielle, please do call me Angie.

Jacob nodded, words escaping his ability.

You're Jacob Black, huh? Sorry, but it wasn't looking like you were moving to say something anytime soon.

Jacob chuckled slightly, shaking his head. "You always so friendly?"

Call it a gift. Okay, not that I'm not loving talking to you, and I wish I had a little more time to get to know you, but I really need a doctor…please?

Jacob almost blushed, if he hadn't leapt up at the plea in her voice. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry!"

Forget about it, but please, I'm dying here…literally…

Jacob chuckled again, walking a few metres away to phase, desperate to let Sam know to get a doctor.

Hurry.

"I promise, I won't let anything happen to you" Jacob swore, brown eyes meeting the blue once again.

Thankyou Jacob, we might even be alright…

Jacob smiled.

Angelique never mentioned that when she first set eyes on Jacob's face, with his deep brown eyes and short cropped ebony hair, it was like seeing the sun the first time. It wasn't extremely important…was it?
