Animal
Preface
My name is Jacob Black and I'm a Werewolf. I'm not the sort of guy people mess with, not the kind of guy your parents want to meet, I'm not a guy for normal girls. I'm desperatly in love with a girl who means the whole world to me anyway, and she's half Vampire.
Im Trouble because I'm a constant danger to everyone around me, but besides all that I'm just a normal sixteen year old. Frozen to be sixteen until I choose otherwise. I'm just alittle bigger than your average sixteen year old and lets face it I live like a complete dog, but dont all teenage guys?
I live with my Dad—Billy Black and he's really great, He knows I'm a werewolf because his dad was one too. He knows everything about how the little Jacob I once was turned into this.... Animal.
Chapter one- Imprint
I imprinted upon Nessie, whos farther was the Vampire that had turned my innocent Isobella into a filthy bloodsucker, Her mother was Bella.
This ment Firstly I could never rid myself of Edward Cullen. He had always been the 'better guy' or the 'good guy'. I think people forget what he is. I hate the creatures. And its not just in my blood. He dazzled Bella, I could never of matched that. I didnt Sparkle.
Renesmee is physically and mentally ahead of her years, she's wonderful. I wouldn't feel right leaving her to live with the dirty bloodsuckers if it wasn't for how much they loved her too. No child had ever experienced the amount of love those baby-craving Aunts give her, not to mention the fact they dont sleep.
The other thing with Imprinted on Nessie is I'll never see anybody quite the same. I love her so much, I would Die a thousand times over to save her from any harm. And Werewolves arent easy to kill. Its more powerful than a parent's love and alot more desperate. I need her.
I spent a few hours each day with her, I was to them the less bruiseable babysitter when they went out "Hunting". Hunting wasnt the word, what they did was a blood hunt. A thirsty malicious brawl. Disgusting.
Renesmee has the most beautiful eyes, they're brown. Like my Bella's were. Her bronze colored hair falls in ringlets down her back, It is most beautiful too but it's something she got from her farther.
My dad and Charlie had been the closest friends from the beginning of time. Charlie had wanted me to get with Bella, he wanted (in effect) Nessie to be my child. For that reson I'm sort of glad Bella chose the bloodsucker, Nessie wouldn't of been Nessie. I might never of imprinted and I'de still be bawling over how I was never good enough for Isobella Swan.
I was perfect for Renesmee. I'de even put aging on hold so I could wait for her to catch up abit, she was still quite young.
Bella thought it was wrong at first, me imprinting on her baby. But I didnt love Nessie for the same reson's I had liked other girls in the past, that would just be disturbing. She was my "Soul mate" and the soul ages differently to the body. A soul never falls out of love.
She knows that I imprinted on her, I remember the night I told her. It was one of Billy's massive BBQs, it takes alot to feed the pack. Bella and Edward eventually let me bring Nessie. they took the oppertunity to go on a weekend trip to Jacksonville, Bella needed to see Renee and she had enough self control not to drain her, Bella's able to control her desires almost as well as the others.
I was left split resonsiblity with the Cullens. Who after some pursuation decided to go 'hunting' to get their minds off the fact that their precious Renesmee was attending my dad's BBQ, to be surrounded by around twenty werewolves.
She was still really young but not a toddler, about six or seven if she were human but in reality she was barely two. She knew I needed her, but didnt understand why.
It was the first time she had met some of the people there, she had infact only met me, Sam, Seth, Quil and Embry. Vampires and werewolves arent suppost to get along but Nessie was half bloodsucker and everybody loved her.
Nessie has a talent, she can touch you and tell you whatever she wants through her mind—I told you she was Brilliant.
We were sat around the fire in a half circle with Billy and Sam at the head. Last year our pack had split up because of Bella and Renesmee but we reunited soon enough, we were all brothers and sisters (including Leah) in a way. Sam had remained Alpha, I had tried to be Alpha but it wasn't everything I thought it would be. There was too much reponsibility and I wouldn't want to ruin Sam's happiness.
Nessie hesistantly put her hand on my shoulder and showed me images of Leah, Nessie looked confused. In each of the images Leah had a different facial expression; Saddness, anger, envy, guilt—the average feelings Leah felt around Sam. Her high school sweetheart who left her for Emily- the girl he imprinted on. Nessie was finding it awkward seeing her like that. At least she didnt have to hear her thoughts.
I shrugged to her, as if to say "And?", she didn't know it but Leah was known to have difficult emotions with Sam around, it was hard having them in the same pack. Leah was furious when I told her I was rejoining the others.
"Whats hurting her?" She whispered, I pointed to Sam and Emily briefly, who were sat hand-in-hand at the head of the circle. Emily had fallen asleep on Sam's shoulder so he was wrapping blankets around her, even though she was proberbly sweating already-us werewolves have really high body temperatures.
"Oh erm, thats quite.." She said, "I know" I mumbled, it was awkward. She placed her hand on my shoulder again showing me a picture of Emily's scarred face, three thin pink lines. "Sam" I paused wondering why I was telling her this, but then remembered I would do anything she asked "he lost control with her" she winced and her soft hand moved to her face. I wrapped my arm around her little shoulders, "Don't worry, I wont loose control with you" I whispered "I have alot more to loose" My sanity, my happiness, my will to live.
She fell asleep so I had to carry her to my car, I began driving to the Cullens but as much as I tried to keep her asleep and stop the questions being asked the roads were rough on the reservation and the engine was really loud so Nessie soon awoke. "Why did Sam leave Leah?" she asked hesitantly,
"Erm, he fell in love with Emily" I answered.
"Didnt he love Leah?" she asked.
I nodded slowly, "He loved Emily alot more though" and being a child she asked the question all parents grow to hate.
"Why?" she asked.
"He imprinted on Emily" I answered quietly.
"Imprinted?" She looked at me all confused.
"It's the way us werewolves find our soul buddies" I said.
"Did Jared imprint on Kim?"
"Yes."
"Quil and Claire?"
I nodded, she looked amazed. "Wow" she said. "Jacob...?" I winced at my own name, as I knew what question would follow. "Did you imprint on me?" She asked in an accusing childish tone, almost as if it were a game. I laughed, "Yeah" I mumbled.
All she could say was "Oh". There was an awkward silence that seemed to drag on forever. "What dose that mean exactly?" she asked.
"It means I will always be here for you, for as long as you want me to be" She didn't need to know that if she told me she didn't want me around anymore I would be on an unstoppable path to self distruct.
"I will always want you around Jakey, your my best friend" I turned into the Cullen's driveway with a smile. A snow white silouette was standing just feet from my car, She hugged me and wrapped her little arms around my shoulders. She felt to small, so Breakable.
"Goodnight" I whispered. "Nighty Night Jakey" she said and her voice rang in my ears, it was the most wonderful, mood lifting sound in the world.
