Just a dabble that happened to pop into my mind as I was reading Twilight (for like the 27 billionth time! and I still can't get enough!)

Bite off. Chapter 1- A Near Miss

After the plane had landed on the slick, rainy runway of Seattle National Airport two people unloaded their belongings and headed to the baggage claim. Anyone who stole glances at them were quick to interpret their small bickering session as a lover's quarrel, however they couldn't be farther from the truth.

Four long hours of rain and wetness, as well as an uncomfortable plane ride had made Special Agent Seeley Booth irritable. From their starting point in Washington D.C. his attitude had been bright but after arguing with his partner for the long idle hours of their ride he had come to dislike his lady scientist at the moment. A scowl emerged as he watched her struggle silently with her luggage. Why can't she just let me help her? He thought frustratingly. Being Temperance Brennan meant excepting help from no one, even when she really needed it. That's it! Fed up with waiting for her Booth brushed her arm out of the way and lifted the heavy luggage. From there he made his way to the exit with an angry woman behind him.

No words were spoken between them as they rented a car, Booth even ignored the flirty smiles from the checkout girl, much to her disappointment. Still not speaking to eachother they quietly loaded their bags into the back of their vehicle and each slid into their respective sides of the front seats... then the shouting started...

Brennan was first to start. "Why did you do that Booth? I can take care of things myself!"

"Who ever said that you couldn't?" He sneered back. "Sorry if you were taking to long! We are on a time crunch ya know."

Brennan reeled back from her partner. She huffed quietly but said no more, instead she crossed her arms in front of her chest and then faced the window. She spent the rest of the car ride looking at the gloom outside. What did I do to deserve being exiled here? She thought to herself. Even though she normally didn't get out of the Jeffersonian in time to view the scenery she did enjoy warmer weather and bright clear skies- which Booth had mentioned on the plane did not exist in the place where they were going. So far that was proving true.

As the drive edged into their second hour Brennan felt her partner's worried glance on her every once in a while, not one to back down she promptly ignored him. Thinking instead back to the debriefing they had had on the way to the airport. A case had started in Washington, in a little town that no one in the department knew of. They had had to resort to a set of decade old maps to find the little town called Forks.

The body, presumed to be a hiker, was found in the woods. Ravaged by animals and the effects of time the local law enforcement had no choice other than to call the FBI, which then gave the case to Booth. Who would want to live in a place like this? Brennan thought to herself. It really was a detestable place to live, the rain was constant she had heard, as well as the fact that there weren't any real towns for at least a hundred miles. The woods that surrounded the winding road they were now on gave the anthropologist a claustrophobic scare. They towered over the road and formed a makeshift tunnel, completely blocking out the nights sky, though all the while allowing the rain to plummet onto the windshield of their rental car.

Booth had to pull over twice when the rain had become to thick to see through. When they pulled over the second time Temperance rested her forehead against the cold window; closing her eyes until only a slit allowed her to see, she quietly watched her partner from the reflection in the glass. They waited, all the while the awkward silence causing the rift between them to grow wider. Even while sitting next to him Temperance Brennan felt the farthest away from her partner that she had ever felt before and it brought the walls around her heart back.

When the rain let up enough that Booth could see he started the engine and they were on their way again. Twenty minutes passed; Temperance still leaning against the window and Booth still glancing at her from time to time. Brennan was just starting to doze off when out of the blue movement caught her attention. To their right a massive shadow was running through the trees. It ran along side the car for a few moments, just out of the light so that she couldn't see it, but the basic shape looked like a beast. It scared her.

Never turning away from the window, for fear of losing sight of the monster she tried to warn the man sitting next to her. "Booth." She felt him turn to her and give her a questioning look.

"What? You wanna talk now?" He asked her sarcastically. It sliced into her heart and she felt the hurt he had felt earlier. It stung.

"Something's out in the woods." She told him. She couldn't tell what it was yet, but whatever it was it was big and was currently running at fifty miles an hour... As fast as their car.

"Probably just a deer." He said flatly. He was still angry and she rationalized that at any other point in time she would have let him wallow in his own anger and broken pride, but right that second she just wanted to know that he would make things less scary.

"I don't think it's a deer!" She yelled as the shadow grew even bigger as it came closer to the road. When it broke threw the line of trees next to the side of the road she screamed. It ran in front of the car and Booth gave out a shout as he instinctively stomped on the breaks bringing the car to a screeching halt.

(--)

When Booth opened his eyes the first thing he saw was his partner leaning against the window, her neck bent at a strange angle. His heart nearly stopped when he couldn't tell if she was breathing or not, only when he saw the slight rise and fall of her chest did he relax. Looking around he saw that their car had skidded into the shallow ditch on the side of the road. It wasn't deep, they would still be able to get out, but the scare they had just had was enough to rattle even his solid resolve.

Turning to the unconscious woman beside him his worry returned. "Bones... Bones, come on wake up." He gently shook her shoulder. After a few moments his Bones moaned and raised her hands to her face.

"What happened?" She asked him in a weak voice. Then her face scrunched together with pain and she squeezed her eyes shut. "Ow." Was all she managed to force out before Booth saw that she was out of energy.

"Tell me what hurts." Brushing away her hands Booth replaced them with his own. Checking her arms and forehead for cuts and injuries and holding her face with between his long calloused fingers.

"My head." The words came out as a sigh, she barely had enough energy to speak.

"We're going to the hospital. No arguing." He slipped his fingers through hers and held her hand as reassuringly as he could. Turning back to the steering wheel the agent restarted the car, put it in reverse and stomped on the gas. Their rental car screamed off down the abandoned road and into the night. Its headlights disappearing into the distance.

(--)

Just yards away from where the car had been tossed off the road a lone wolf sat on its haunches. The animal turned its head to watch the little pile of metal vanish, when it was gone the wolf turned to listen to the wind. A breeze ruffled his thick fur, bringing with it a beautiful boy. He appeared in an instant, clearly not pleased.

"Jacob Black, what the hell were you thinking?!" The young man hissed at him.

Nice to see you're back Cullen. The wolf, Jacob, sneered. A smirk pulled at his lips and showed off his many sharp K-9's. As an after thought he added. Where'd you go anyway?

"Jacob, those humans saw you! What were you thinking?!" The man hissed again.

The wolf rolled his eyes. We're fine. Just chill out Edward. He let out a laugh that sounded more like a growl. Don't tell me you were afraid of the smell! I mean come on! It's only blood.

Now it was Edward's turn to roll his eyes, though he didn't take the chance. Instead he stood stone still, keeping his mask of indifference on his face. "For your information Dog. There was no blood, but you still could have killed them. Please be more careful."

Well if there was no blood then they're fine. No harm done. Jacob countered. He hated being reprimanded by a bloodsucker.

Edward was quiet for a few moments, then took a deep breath trying to calm himself. "Jacob, just because there was no blood doesn't mean that those two people aren't injured, have you ever heard of internal bleeding? That woman might have a brain injury! She could die!"

Oh...Was all the wolf had to say. His ears curled back flat against his fur and he hung his head slightly while he watched the pacing man in front of him. He watched with silent questions as Edward pulled out his cell phone.

The line was ringing even before he had finished punching in all the numbers. A voice picked up. "Dr. Cullen."

Edward breathed a slight sigh of relief, at least his father was there. "Carlisle, there's a man and a woman who might be coming to see you. Jacob ran their car off the road and they took quite a beating. I'm concerned the woman might have brain damage." Edward shot a glare at the enormous wolf sitting beside him. Listening for a few moments he nodded silently. "Thanks Carlisle." Hanging up he turned to Jacob, still with a frown on his face. "Come on, Renesmee's waiting for us. We can't keep her waiting." He said with a sigh.

Okay.

The wolf rose from his spot on the ground and ran into the trees. Edward had disappeared moments before but he knew for certain that they would meet again at their home.

TBC!
