CHAPTER 1: Suprise
"Jacob, where are you?" Nessie yells out to me." You know I'm gonna find you."
These are the days now. Nessie and I have been closer then ever since after the bloodsucking minise left Forks. The time has gone by so fast that it hasn't even felt like its been six years. I've notice that, since her birthday, she's been growing slower as the days go by. Shes been looking more around my age then I am. But even as the time goes by, my feelings haven't really changed for her; they have only gotten stronger. This imprinting thing still knocks me on my ass at times. It's just so amazing how everything becomes so significant when your in love. Damn! I have to stop saying that word. "Jacob!"
I crouch even lower into the brush of the forest, hoping that she hadn't noticed the snicker I let out. Hmm...I would phase to make it even more interesting of a fight but, I know Edward wouldn't like that too much. As she creeps closer and closer to my attack point I hear a noise to the northeast of the forest. By the way she snapped her head to the side I knew she must of heard it too. Plan spoiled. Next move.
I lunged.
We both go crashing to the ground; tree branches and shrubs fly everywhere. I make sure she doesn't get to messed up in the fall, just for her fathers sake. He seems to treat her the way he treated Bella before the whole vampirication thing happened. But just like her mother she likes to live with a bit of adventure.
"Geez Jake. That actually hurt a bit." she says with a smile on her face. Teeth still the same pearly white as before. "Aren't we suppose to be hunting? Since when did this turn into a game?" She smiled the perfect crocked smile that I've grown to love. Trait from her father none the less, but still effective. "Since when is it never a game between us Nessie?" I say as I smile back.
"Why can't we go hunting and not get distracted? If I go back to the cottage and I haven't hunted then my dad is gonna think something's up." she explains to me. Ha....as if I care.
"Well, I'm sure he wouldn't mind it if we got a little down time meshed in with the hunt."
"And I'm sure that conversation will go so smoothly between you two. You know he doesn't like it when you play rough with me."
Once again, not caring; and also not noticing that I had been laying on top of her for a while now. I hadn't set myself up for this moment. My heart raced. " Then you shouldn't have led me--" I said before I felt a smack to the side of my head. CRACK!!!! I rolled off of Nessie, down a hill, and into a tree trunk. Any normal human would of died by how hard the fall was but for me, it would leave a bruise for atleast 2 mins.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" I yelled up to Nessie. "DID YOU HIT ME?!"
"I didn't hit you. You were holding me down." she yelled down to me. Completely obilivous to what was going on, as was I. "THEN WHO THE HELL DID IT!!" The wind blew across my face, a scent crawled up my nose, and at that point I knew who it was. Bastard!!!
"It was me..." a voice came from behind Nessie. She turned around and saw him. "Oh. I didn't know you were back." she reached out and hugged him. Ugh, it was Nahuel. He's been here for years now and I still haven't been able to get use to him. I guess it's on account of him not being here lately. It's been weeks since we've seen him and to be honest with you, I was really getting use to him not being around. A low growl eased its way out my chest at the sight of arms around her. Guess this is another on of those hard parts of being in lo---DAMNIT!!!
"Hey Reneesme. I've missed you." Nahuel whispered in her ear. He glances down to me, smirking at the sight of me on my back. I jumped up in a flash and in the next second I was beside them. I guess the punk's forgotten how much bigger I was to him, but by the look on his face he didn't seem to mind. He was more focused on Nessie then on how pissed I was. At that moment I knew where the sound had came from earlier. The snap of the branch, the foot placement. Wild, just like any other Amazonian I've met(speaking of Zafrina and the rest of the Amazon Coven). "Are you hunting the wrong way again Reneesme? I think you should stop hunting with animals to actually hunt animals." he says. She shrugged "To be honest with you, its better that way. It confuses the prey. They see him and they go running, then they see me and they really don't know what to do." Nahuel looks at me...
"Hmm..."
"HOLD ON YOU LITTLE SHIT, DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!!!" Seems like I have to yell for anyone to pay attention to my now. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU HIT ME?"
"I thought Reneesme was in trouble. I was only acting on instinct." he says to both Nessie and me.
"I'm pretty sure you knew it was Jacob." She slowly eases her hand from his waist. "It's not like he's hard to miss, I mean look at him. No Offence Jake." Always the peace maker between the two of us. "None Taken..."
Ever since he started staying here full time we both have had it out for each others throats. Just the way he looks at her as if she's a piece of meat is enough to drive me mad at times. He's an arogant little prick. The same way Edward was when we would fight over Bella. I'm pretty sure that Nessie knows all about his tricks, she's a smart enough girl to know which jerk is trying to break her heart and which is going to make sure she's happy. She understands very clearly how my feelings are towards her and I'm happy she doesn't alienate me the way I had expected her to do when I explained the whole imprinting thing to her. It's as if she already knew what was going on with me. Not like it would be difficult to know, but still.
"What did you hit him with anyways?" Nessie says, finally breaking the silence. " It had to have been something pretty heavy to move Jacob that far." she says, sympithetic as usual. "Well with enough force you could throw feather and inbed it into someones skin. I'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to do that to Jacob but, as fun as that might be, I'm sorry." he says, putting his hand out for me to shack it. Still a smug look on his face, I smack his hand away. "Bullsh---"
"JACOB!" Nessie screams at me. She never enjoyed when I cursed. Damn imprinting, it's like shes the alpha at times. "Be nice, shack his hand." My throat cliched at the attempt to keep the growl from ripping through my chest. Threatening to awake the twilight air. My hand raised slowly, tremmers rolled through my arm and down my spine. All I needed to do is keep myself from phasing and ripping my clothes to shreds. Hmm...taking his head off would be pretty funny if you think about it, but I wouldn't wanna risk Alice going crazy again because I "ruined" another outfit that she custom made for me. Emmett's clothes lasted for a good while, but having to walk around in clothes that didnt even fit my lims took its tole on me.
Nessie put her hand on my shoulder in encouragement, thankfully slowing the tremmers as she did. "There's no need Reneesme." Nahuel says. "I can see how hard it is for him to be the bigger man, dispite his actual size. Besides, he didn't throw anything. I did. I apoligized and that should be enough."
"I'll make you sorry alright." I crouch down to ram into him, completely disregarding the concern in Nessies' face. A high howl rang through the forest in distress. I jerked my head behind me, more alert then before. I stood up then looked at Nessie. Her head hung low in sadness. "Nessie..." I said. "I have to go see what's wrong with Leah. I'll be back soon, I promise." I lifted her chin and kissed her forehead. She touched my cheek, Be careful Jacob. I'll tell Alice you said sorry. Good thing we look out for each other the way we do. If one of us gets in trouble, then we both do. Simple agreement. "Thanks."
I turn, my body trembles, I and phase in a flash. I brush my tail to her face on purpose. She giggles, I run. Leaving a trail of shreaded clothes behind me.
"No need to worry about hunting dear. I've been learning to cook, so I'll make something for you." his laughter was directed to me in a teasing manner as always. While her laughs were directed to him, of course. Their conversation fades with distance and I'm left to run alone, without Nessie. This isn't anything I haven't done before. Anything that I haven't already felt. These are the days now.
