Sunrise

Chapter 1: New World

His wet nose tingled and honey brown fur became matted against the night mist. Jacob Black softened his pace as he circled back to a nearby lake he passed a couple miles back. The water sent icy chills down his dry throat as he re-hydrated himself. He could tell that he had been running for a while by the sudden creeping of the midnight fog. He didn't know where he was or when he was going to return home, but all of that was irrelevant now.

Jacob paced back and forth until he finally gave in to his tired legs and collapsed underneath a tree. Soft whimpers cowardly escaped his mouth as thoughts of her entered his brain. His whimpers soon turned into low growls as his mind became flooded with images of a tall, lanky yet muscular boy with golden brown hair, swiftly picking up his Bella and swinging her round and round. She was in a silky, vintage white dress and her hair was curled to perfection. Her bright and mesmerizing smile completed the look of a fairytale bride who had finally found her prince.

Jacob howled into the night and as he tossed back into his human form, he found his eyes were stained with tears and his heart felt like it was literally broken. He was broken. He was the one to fix Bella when she had once felt broken, so who was going to help fix him?

A familiar cold, foul stench found its way into Jacob's nose. He must have been sleeping for a good couple of hours. The taunting rays from the sunrise were teasing his closed eyes as he rolled to his side in hopes of finding darkness, but instead crashed into a tree.

Jacob cursed to himself as he rubbed the newborn bruise forming on the top of his head. He wrinkled his nose as the same tainted smell corrupted his pine-fresh surroundings. A sudden spark of familiarity hit him like a thousand pound football player.

Vampires.

"AAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!"

Jacob's human ears perked as if still in wolf form as he heard the screech of a young girl. No older than 17 with coconut smelling hair that was too closely clashed with the stench of a vampire.

"LET GO OF ME, YOU CRAZY SON OF A B—"

But Jacob was already on his feet racing through the dimly lit forest towards the girl screaming obscenities.

He was still in his human form just in case this was a sick trap to lure him in. His wolf smell would be suicide and even though he was 6'7, he was still only one wolf and there could be a whole swarm of them waiting to attack.

Jacob slowly crept behind a bush and gently brushed it aside with his strong hands, careful to not make a noise.

The scene before him was enough to make him pounce, but he remained in position as he observed the petite girl, carelessly slung over the vampire's shoulder, being dragged around like a rag doll. The vampire was 2 times bigger than Jacob with dead, red eyes and bulging white muscles. Jacob has never seen a vampire that big before and for the first time, he suddenly felt anxious.

"You'remad!!" the girl shouted as she repeatedly drummed her tiny fists into his back.

The giant vampire threw his head back in mock laughter, showing off his two, barely visible, sharp teeth.

"Stupid girl," the vampire jeered. "You're the one who's mad if you think I would simply go along without having a bit of fun!"

The girl let out a frustrated cry as she began kicking and punching again. This made the vampire laugh harder.

"Drop her!" Jacob found himself erupting from behind the bushes and timidly awaiting a response. He hadn't planned his actions beyond this point.

The Vampire gracefully turned around to face his intruder and his mocking expression quickly turned into a scowl. The girl's frustrated eyes had quickly changed to panic as she looked back and forth from Jacob to the vampire.

"What is this?!" The vampire spat. "YOU SAID YOU WERE ALONE!"

"I am alone!" The girl tried, but failed, to mimic his monstrous tone. She turned to Jacob with pleading gray eyes and mouthed, "Get the hell out of here!"

Jacob looked at her in utter confusion.

"But…but don't you need…rescuing?" He asked lamely. He watched the tiny girl in front of him try to squirm out of the vampire's careless grasp, failing miserably.

"I'm…fine! Just go," she panted but took a break to throw Jacob an irritated smile. "Have a nice day!"

Jacob could not understand. Gigantic, bloodthirsty vampire plus small incompetent, human girl did not equal 'fine'. Jacob frowned and quickly disappeared into the wilderness.

As the vampire turned around to pick up where he left off, the girl let out a sudden gasp as a scruffy brown wolf as big as a horse leapt into the picture.

"What the—" the vampire began but was quickly mauled to the ground by the abrupt attack of the wolf. The girl was freed as she hit the hard ground, soiling her light blue denim jeans and white tube top. She rushed to the safe haven behind the bush but the vampire immediately made a grab for her. Jacob instinctively snapped at his arm with all his might, ripping it straight out of its socket. The sound that came out of his mouth was deafening. Jacob chanced a glance at the girl, whose fear was now visible through her eyes. It was a mistake to take his eyes off the vampire, for now Jacob was flying through the forest and collided head first into a tree.

The now one-armed vampire was taking advantage of the weak wolf as he lifted him up and tossed him effortlessly across the forest. Jacob groaned as he hit a rock. He almost forgot why he was there and how he got there until he heard the same loud bellow escape from the girl.

"AUGH! GET AWAY FROM ME!" She belched.

Jacob regained his strength and went charging after the foul creature that he was born to kill. He leapt from behind the bushes, aiming for the head but only managing to rip off an ear and a couple of perfect black hairs.

"You insolentdog!!" The vampire screeched. "I have had enough of you!!" and with that said he yet again ignored the girl on the ground and focused his attention on Jacob. He went straight to the nearest tree and easily ripped it out from its root, running straight towards Jacob, only narrowly missing him before trying again.

Jacob began pivoting around the Vampire, hoping to tire him out but instantly ruled out that plan.

Think, Jacob, THINK!

The tree trunk hit him with severe force and Jacob found himself, once again, confused on the ground. As he slowly flickered his eyes open, he saw the trunk of the tree nearing him again, but this time he dodged it just in time. The Vampire collided into the tree, dropping his weapon. Jacob took advantage of this as he picked up the sharpest rock he could find and stabbed it through the Vampires only arm, pinning him to the tree. He began scratching, biting, tearing every inch of the vampire he could find. The cries of pain escaping the vampire's mouth were extreme and hideous sounding, but Jacob didn't stop. The last twitch sufficed and Jacob backed away, looking at the bloody mess ahead of him. He knew that the next step was to set fire to the torn leftovers, but he found that he had little to no strength left inside of him.

Footsteps. A long pause later accompanied by a surprised gasp.

Jacob could only make out bits of the messy black hair scrunched into a loose ponytail, and the worried eyes, that were now blue, from the girl he had just saved. With one groan, Jacob collapsed and unable to hold his wolf form anymore, transformed back into a human.

"Oh…My…God…" the girl whispered as she raced to his side. She held his head in her lap and began lightly slapping the side of his face, which felt more like little pricks than actual slaps.

"Wake up, wake up," she began chanting

"F..f-fire" Jacob managed to breathe out and pointed to the remains of the vampire. The girl threw him a confused look.

"Fire?" She said. Jacob nodded once before shutting his eyes again. "Y-you want me to set fire to…to the tree?" No answer.

The girl gently placed Jacob's head on the cold ground, which helped nurse his aching body. She quickly found two twigs and began rubbing them together, making sparks fly onto the tree. Slowly, but gradually, the fire grew and a hazy purple smoke began forming.

Jacob's eyes fluttered opened to the sound of hummingbirds and a steady, running creek. He couldn't have passed out for more than 20 minutes and already he was feeling good as new. His arm was lightly hanging on a sling made out of, what he realized later, a section of his sweatpants. He chuckled to himself as he discarded the useless contraption obviously made together by the human.

The girl. He remembered.

He searched the forest with his eyes for any sign of the girl, but like he had expected, she had probably ran away in fright. It's not everyday you're kidnapped by a Vampire and then saved by a giant teenager turned giant wolf.

A dash of raven black hair passed behind a cluster of tall amber trees. He watched her carefully, inching closer and closer to the girl. What was she still doing here? Shouldn't she be half way home screaming about her estranged kidnapping?

He saw her jump into the water and waited for her to resurface. She never did. Jacob began to grow anxious. Was she drowning? Didn't she know how to swim?!

Panicking, Jacob quickly ran towards the creek and jumped in after her. The cold water felt tingly against his burning hot skin. He immediately saw the girl and instantly brought her back over the surface.

She choked. She coughed. And Jacob waited for her to regain her composure. She threw him an evil glare as she splashed water on his face.

"What was that for?!" She shouted.

"Hey! Ithought you were drowning!" Jacob replied, defensively. The girl softened her face expression and proceeded to exit the lake with Jacob following close behind.

"Just…taking a bath," She simply responded, while wringing her long, wet hair and flinging it so it hit Jacob in the face. She later noticed the missing homemade sling from his arm. "What the—your arm was broken not 2 hours ago and now it's…it's…not?"

She repeatedly searched Jacob's arm for signs of bruising, a fraction or even a bone sticking out, but there was nothing.

"Is this some kind of perk to being a super wolf-boy?" She teased. "Immune to injuries?"

Jacob didn't smile at her comment. His forehead crinkled as he tried to understand this strange girl who was talking to a werewolf as if it were completely normal.

"You…I'm…he—"Jacob began but couldn't find the right words to say. "He was a vampire!"

"Yes," she nodded.

"and I'm…I'm a—a werewolf,"

"Well, I assumed just as much. You know, the whole turning into a wolf thing kind of gave it away," she smirked.

"Why aren't you running away?"

"Because, frankly, my legs are very tired from the day I've just had, and it's not even noon yet!" she said as if it were obvious.

She noticed Jacob's stern face and decided to drop the sarcasm. She breathed in deeply and exhaled loudly.

"This world has many ways of pulling the chair out from underneath you. So you throw in a couple of vampires and, apparently werewolves, into the picture-- big deal. We're all a little messed up in the head to begin with anyway. Some of us are real jackasses, no different from that vampire, and they don't need fangs to prove it. What difference is it going to make if there are few more creatures wrecking havoc in this world?"

"So you've known about us for a while then?" Jacob didn't know if he should be intrigued or skeptical of this strange girl.

She nodded.

"Enough about us to not be afraid when a vampire, ten times bigger and stronger than you, is about to snap you in half?" He finished.

The girl sighed and quickly turned her sad, gray eyes towards the distance, debating with herself whether or not to tell Jacob the truth or the lie. Her lips curved into a playful smile.

"I'm a big girl," She flexed her non-existent bicep muscle. "I can handle myself."

This coming from a girl no taller than 5'3, Jacob had to chuckle at her bravery. This made the girl smile wider but the sadness in her eyes were still visible.

"Hey, Super Wolf," The girl cried to him. "Why don't you walk me back to town and protect me from any other bloodsuckers."

Jacob nodded once and followed the small girl out of the forest. He didn't know where he was or what he was doing here. But somehow, he felt like he was at where he was supposed to be. That him being here was the next chapter to his life. The hike was long and silent, but not awkward. They both had steaming thoughts running through their heads.

"We're here."

A giant golden sign with bold letters stuck out from the glowing city lights.

WELCOME TO BOSTON!
