The wolf's vampire
Jasmine ran through the darkness, the eerie moon reflected on the path making it a ribbon of moonlight. She ran off the winding path into the woods, her black curls had become loose and blew around her.
She dodged tree after tree not checking to see how close her pursuers were she just ran and ran into the night. Heart pounding, legs aching she began to slow. Her heart felt like it was going to break out of her ribcage. She quickly turned to see her pursuers.
They were strange creatures of the night, their abnormally pale skin caught the moonlight, their faces were like those of beautiful angels, their dark eyes and hair seemed to disappear into the darkness. They ran faster than any human, as they came closer she felt coldness seeping through her.
As she slowed and stared at them she tripped over a raised tree root. She fell to the hard ground as the creatures came closer and closer. Shaking she tried to crawl away but fear rooted her to the spot. Two of the creatures stopped, they looked at her with black hungry eyes. One drew towards her, the most beautiful among them, 'at least it wasn't an ugly face I saw before I died' she thought to herself as a half smile appeared on her face. She shut her eyes awaiting the pain. He bent down and put his mouth to her neck like he was going to kissed it. Then razor sharp fangs pierced her skin, she let out a scream but he silenced her with his hand. He began to suck and Jasmine began to feel the life going out of her. The last sight she saw was his beautiful face looking over her.
Jasmine woke with a scream and sat up in the bed. Sweat trickled down her face, her hands shook uncontrollably. Panicked she looked round the room; the clock said 1:30am. A hand came from the darkness and took her face in them. "It's ok, you're safe, it was only a nightmare," his calm voice said.
Jacob Black turned on the light and came to sit beside her on the bed. Pulling her into a hug, he comfortingly stroked her hair. Her heart beat slowed and the shaking ceased. Jasmine always felt safe in his arms, ironically the arms of a monster- even though neither of them knew it yet. "Was it the same one as last time?" he finally asked while releasing her from the hug. Her eyebrows knitted together creating a furrowed line and looked away, slightly embarrassed about the screaming.
Patiently he waited for her to talk, taking one finger he tilted her head up to look at him. Her bright blue eyes that caught the light met his eyes that were as dark as the night. "It was clearer; I could see his face this time. It was just so vivid like it was really happening," Jasmine answered finally. Jacob just nodded, mindlessly playing with her hair.
"Shh, go back to sleep, I'll sleep on here tonight," he whispered as not to wake Billy. Sighing she lied back down with Jacob's warm arms holding her to him, her head upon his chest.
Slowly she drifted back off to sleep. Soundlessly Jacob watched her, she looked more peaceful then she'd ever looked awake. His rough, russet coloured hand stroked her smooth cheek. It was undeniable how beautiful she was, her black hair curled round in perfect ringlets that tumbled down her back, her skin was so flawless and pale. Her face was completely symmetrical; her high cheek bones looked so delicate, her long eyelashes lined her big eyes. Compared to Jacob she was tiny. Jacob was now about 6'2 and had a muscley physique.
He still couldn't believe that Jasmine had chosen him out of so many, that she was here cradled in his arms. She was an orphan who had been adopted by the reservation. They'd found her abandoned in the woods as a baby, a month after Jacob was born. She slept and ate wherever she wanted as she was welcome in everyone's house. Smiling Jacob closed his eyes and fell asleep.
