Author's Notes:
Hi everyone here is another story from me! I'm on a bit of a roll the past couple of days! This story is dedicated to: xsoutherngurl08x, who actually asked me to write this story for her because she thought I was a good writer. I am completely honoured and although I'm not a very big fan of Jacob I'm really excited about my ideas for this story! So, I just want everyone to review and let me know how I'm doing because I am a little bit unsure about how this story is coming across.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters so please don't throw me in jail! (I will only say this once because disclaimers really annoy me!)
Jacob POV
I ran. It was all I could do. She was going to marry that bloodsucker and there was nothing I could do about it. I couldn't bear the thought of watching her walk down the aisle; glowing in her wedding dress. She would look like the angel she was in white; pure until she reached his hands. I refused to be around when she walked to him. My heart couldn't take it.
I ran for what seemed like days; unsure where I was going or what I was going to do. How do you reach a destination if you're lost on the inside? How do you run away from your heart? Your soul?
Running from La Push, I headed north, passing through the small town of Ozette until I reached the coast.
Where do I run now?
Changing back into my human form, I pulled a pair of cut off jean shorts up my legs. I was grateful to the fact that it was a reasonably nice day outside; which meant that I could walk shirtless down the streets without drawing too much attention to my almost naked form. They did however, focus on my size.
I walked past a family who were eating ice cream on the pier; enjoying the slight breeze from the sea. A child that couldn't have been more than eight, gasped in shock as I moved past him. I stopped at the sound, not realising at first that I was the reason. His mother turned around to face me; obviously alarmed at her sons scared outburst. When her eyes reached my bare muscled chest and then rose to my face; she gripped her son by the arm and pulled him closer to her. Her husband just stared at me with an open mouth, but she had obviously seen something in my expression that gave her cause to fear my presence.
I wanted to reassure them that I was harmless; I wouldn't hurt anyone, but the words would not form. I simply glared at the family and continued my solitary journey; feeling anger build within my chest.
I am their protector! It's the leeches they should fear!
I know it doesn't make much sense, but as I walked down the cobbled street; with children riding bicycles around me and groups of friends enjoying each other's company; I couldn't help but feel as if I had lost again. The bloodsuckers would always win. I was the human, yet I was still the one that was shunned by other people...by Bella.
Reaching a docking bay, I took in the vast amount of ferries and boats; each of them differing in size; a fight for dominance. Looking around I noticed a large blue sign post with white lettering:
Ferries to Barnfield, Vancouver Island
Daily 1pm
Adult: $25.00
Children over 5: $15.00
I looked up at the town clock which stood proud at the end of the pier; I saw that it was 12.30pm already.
Walking slowly towards the advertised boat, I noticed a small dispute taking place. Apparently a couple; who appeared to be in their mid 20's, had bought their tickets in advance and had misplaced them. They were becoming more and more irate as the Captain explained that they would not be able to board without their tickets.
Taking the opportunity this distraction offered; I slipped past the queue that was forming and moved silently onto the boat. I hid myself in the toilets until I heard the gurgling sound of the engine kicking to life. Opening the stall door, I made my way to a set of wooden stairs which I climbed until I reached the deck.
Looking out at the blue sea, I rested my forearms against the safety railing and let my mind wonder. As water droplets splashed up at me; cooling my heated body, I thought to myself; maybe I can call Barnfield home.
