Too early unknown
And known too late."
Romeo and Juliet
Prologue( Deserea POV)
I had to keep running. I could hear behind me, her malicious laugh growing louder in my sensitive ears. My paws began to soak father down into the sticky mud of the forest floor. Looking back I saw my family. Lying deadly still, spread across the open field to which we battled against the cold ones. But now I was alone and they were all closing in on me.
I knew I wouldn't survive but I had to try. My family wouldn't want me to give up.
Chapter 1- Found (Jake POV)
The cool morning air felt good against my bare skin. I sat down on the wooden steps of the porch, closing my eyes and breathing in the scents of my home. Being concentrated on smelling I hadn't notice Sam sit down next to me.
"Hey," he said, stretching his large muscular arms above his head.
"Hey," I replied also feeling the need to stretch. Emily exited the house and sat down behind Sam, wrapping her arms around his waist. I missed that. The feeling of someone loving you just as much as you loved them. My heart began to pound in my chest.
"I'm going for a walk," I said, thoughts piling up inside my head. Sam nodded and tilted his head so he was looking up at Emily giving her a playful kiss. That sent me overboard. I couldn't take this. Thinking my whole body was going to fall apart any second I tangled my fingers in my short black hair.
Thinking of Bella getting married to that lying blood-sucker made me furious. How could she leave knowing I would do anything or change anything for her to be happy? Before I reached the edge of the gravel driveway a smell sent my nose on fire. I looked back to see Sam, Quil, and Paul jogging up behind me.
"What is that?" I asked, tilting my head farther up into the wind. Sam's face went hard.
"Another wolf," he said, taking a step forward.
"What?" Paul growled. Before anyone could say anything else a girl came into view at the far end of the forest. We formed a v-shape defense all glaring at her. But once I looked at her more closely I saw blood.
"Quil, go get Jared and Embry," Sam demanded. Quil nodded and sprinted back down the road.
"Who is she?" I asked. Sam shook his head. The girl seemed to waver as she took a step forward. Her whole body seemed to shake. The smell inside my nose became more clear. It smelled more of a sweet flower mixed with the tint of blood. Before Quil, Jared, and Embry reached us she fell to her knees.
"Let's go," Sam said, taking a step forward. Paul tried to object but was silenced by a swift gesture of Sam's hand. We went to a few feet away from her all ready for anything. Her skin was lighter than ours which made it hard to believe she was a werewolf. She had long light brown hair that skimmed the ground as she kept her head close to her knees.
"Who are you?" Same demanded. The girl looked up, revealing bright green eyes.
"Help me," she whispered before falling face first to the ground. Her torn white blouse began to seep up the soft mud of the wet La Push ground.
"What's wrong with her?" Embry asked, glancing over Paul's massive shoulder. Sam and I kneeled beside opposite sides of the still body. I noticed large bleeding claw marks down her back. I barely touched her shoulder to turn her over when the smell of vampire filled my nose. I looked up at Sam who seemed to already know.
I looked down at her face. Smooth chocolaty skin was covered with flakes of dirt and a large bleeding gash took up most of her forehead.
"Jacob, take her down to the house and have Emily clean her up. Jared, Paul, and Quil, we're going on patrol. Embry you go tell Billy about what we have seen. Let's make sure she is definitely alone," We all nodded. I watched them jog of into the forest, catching glimpses of them as wolves as they ran deeper into the forest. I looked down at the girl, and gently gathered her into my arms. Her skin was very hot against my skin which was unusual to me. She also didn't weigh very much which was nice because the road wasn't very short. I gave a small smile when her hair brushed my chest as I walked on.
Her smell was nothing like I had ever smelt before. Bella smelt good to me but she passed good. It made my head go dizzy with wonder.
Once I reached the porch Emily opened the door, her smile fading when she noticed to whom I was holding.
"Who's that?" She said, blocking the doorway. I gave a small chuckle.
"I don't really know," I smiled. She didn't seem so pleased.
"She's hurt. Sam wants you to help her," I said, thinking that might convince her. She sighed and led me towards the kitchen.
"Lay her there," She ordered, pointing to the large kitchen table. I nodded and gently laid her down. Emily wetted a small dish towel and patted the girls forehead. Watching Emily carefully and tenderly work along the girls body reminded me of why we all thought of her as our pack mother.
"You better leave," She motioned to her beginning to tear the top of the girls stained blouse. I looked at the girls face. Even unconscious her face seemed full of pain. I nodded. I went back onto the porch and sat on the steps once again. Something inside of me wanted to be inside, holding the girl's hand telling her everything was going to be alright. But the something else said what happened last time you got close to a girl? I laid my head in my hands.
Before to long Emily came and sat down beside me.
"She'll be fine in the morning. You know, you guys heal quickly," she said, nudging me in the ribs. I smiled but it didn't last long.
"What's wrong Jake?" She asked, taking my large hand and wrapping her small fingers around it. I couldn't answer that. Well, truthfully.
"It's nothing," I said, turning my face away from hers. But inside I knew she understood. Emily always did. She knew if you were having a bad day or were questioning your total existence. She tightened her grip.
"Don't lie to me. You can lie to anyone else but not to me Jacob. I'll see right through it," I looked back over her and her brown eyes were full of concern. Everything inside me began to build up ready to explode.
"It's everything! I can't think straight! I think of Bella and how she left me for that blood sucker! I think of the whole pack everyday and if we are still safe here! And now I saw that girl, its everything I had with Bella times a thousand! Plus I haven't even said word with her!" I yelled. My whole body began to shake. I closed my eyes and sighed. Emily was silent for a moment before she spoke.
"Jake, your to young to be so worried about everything. Yeah, you had feelings for Bella but it apparently wasn't the same for her and you guys weren't meant to be. Plus you shouldn't be worrying about the pack. That's Sam's responsibility right now. And for that girl in there. I'm not sure what to say but wait until she wakes up," Before I could say anything Emily stood up. I looked over to where she glared and saw the rest of the pack walk out of the forest. I stood and met them.
"So?" I asked, giving a glance at all of them.
"All we got was her scent but at the edge of the border we smelt vampire and it wasn't the Cullens," Sam answered, breathing heavily. Paul's face seemed hard and cold.
"Is she awake?" He demanded. Emily shook her head.
"She had a pretty big bump on her head. She should be alright by tomorrow," she said walking past me and wrapping her arms around Sam's waist. Jared and Quil both seemed unusually quiet.
"How do we know this isn't a trap or something? She could just be here so her pack could follow her scent and ambush us," Quil said, glancing over at Sam.
"We won't get answers while she is unconscious. We will just have to wait till morning. But for now we are doing extra patrols," Before Sam could finish a loud red truck rolled down the drive. It pulled to a stop in front of the house and Embry slid out of the driver's seat. He quickly took out Billy's wheelchair and easily helped him into it.
"What the hell is going on?" He asked, rolling up next to my side. "Embry talked so fast I couldn't make out a word he said." Embry shrugged and kicked at a loose rock.
"Well we found this girl and she smells like a wolf. But we will have to wait until she's awake to really know why she is here," I replied patting my dad on the shoulder.
"That won't be long," Billy smiled. I noticed everyone was looking at me. Then I realized they were looking over me. I turned around to see the girl standing in the doorway.
