[DAY TWO]
She did not see him the next day.
Or the next day.
Or the next.
In fact, a week later, she gave up on him. Who knew who the mysterious and attractive boy was? Did it really matter to her?
Alex sighed as she put on her light green embodied hem dress. She was an artist on the way to an art show at Central Park. She didn't need to worry about some random boy.
Jacob Black looked around and rolled his eyes.
He could not believe he was doing this.
He could not believe he was a hotdog vendor, making little money in the big city. Of course, there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't have money and he was the one who decided to run away to escape his old life. He did consider joining a different pack but he knew he could not do so. The Black family line was in his blood and packs do not deal well with a loner in their group. Jacob sighed and took the bright red apron off.
It was finally three and his break started. In the crowded and sunny Central Park, he walked down the path, slowly. As couples and family and friends walked past him, he wondered what he was going to do next. How was he going to live on life now?
Would he do it as a recluse? As a loner with no friends or family? He was a Quileute werewolf and he needed a plan.
He thought of Forks, Bella and Edward, again. It had been a week but he didn't smell any disgusting vampires yet. Maybe that is the only choice, he started wondering. Maybe I do have to join some weird clan as a loner. This is more complicated than I thought…
Then, his thoughts were interrupted as a sound entered his ears.
It was soft and a bit familiar.
He turned around to see the one and only Miss Alex Russo. With her light appearance, she seemed happy as her eyes smiled when a compliment was said. After a moment, he thought it was rude to stare but then she looked up at him as well. Her dark brown eyes shone in the light and he suddenly remembered their short conversation a week ago. It was the day after he ran away from home. Not wanting to feel rude, he approached her station where her piece of art was laid out. She was still explaining it to a group of senior citizens but he wasn't listening. He glanced over at the painting, standing up on a small brown table.
The painting was random.
A bunch of colors were put together but somehow it fit. What is this for? The high school probably, he thought but didn't ask.
"Hey," he smiled after the group of senior citizens left.
Alex smiled too, showing her perfect but small white teeth, "Hey there."
"What's up?" He put his hands in his pocket and looked around.
"Oh, nothing…how have you been?" she asked as she waved to a group of girls.
"Around," Jacob laughed, "you?"
Alex laughed, "I'm good too."
With nothing to say, she tried to remember what they had been talking about but she couldn't remember. Not only was it a week ago, she was distracted by his attire.
Although he was just wearing jeans and a plain white t-shirt, he seemed so natural. A young boy enjoying a walk in the park, she wished her life was easy as his.
"Care to explain this?" he asked in a husky-tone, indicating to the painting.
"Weren't you just listening?" Alex teased, "Well…it's just supposed to be my personality and how I am. The colors are all different but I'm still the same person. Something kind of like that," she smiled.
He nodded up slowly and she suddenly remembered all the questions: Who was he and why was he here? Was it just a visit during the summer? Did he have family here?
"Hey, what's your name by the way?" she asked.
He looked up at her and smiled, "Jake. Well Jacob but Jake works for me."
Alex liked that name and nodded, "Where are you from? Are you just visiting New York City?"
Jake nodded slowly, "Something like that but yeah, New York City isn't my home."
Alex chuckled, obviously she wanted to say. As Jake kicked some dirt in the awkwardness, Alex saw her brother coming towards her way. His face looked urgent and she knew there must be some weird wizard thing going on again.
"Excuse me," she said politely and headed towards Justin.
"What?" she asked, annoyed.
"Dad thinks something's up," Justin whispered to her ear, "He says that there's an intruder here."
"What do you mean?" Alex asked, "What intruder?"
"Someone who doesn't belong here. You know, probably a vampire or a shapeshifter or some werewolf, I don't know."
"And?"
"The problem is, Alex," Justin sighed, "that it's not usual for a new creature to wander around by their own self. He or she must want something and if that supernatural creature wants to, I don't know, kill people for instance, we need to protect the people. Worst scenario, we kill it."
There was silence as Alex tried to comprehend everything in, "With the Monster Hunter Council?"
"No," Justin shook his head, "we shouldn't alert them. Remember what happened last time?"
Alex nodded. She remembered how they were going to hunt down Juliet Van Heuson. She guessed her brother was right—again. Annoyed, she rolled her eyes.
"So we're just going to find out this mysterious monster and if it's friendly, we leave them alone and if there's more than one monster…?"
"We still can't alert Monster Hunter Council. If it's a vampire, it leads to the Volturi. And a war with the vampires would not be good. Alex, I can't believe you still don't know your basic wizard information. The Monster Hunter Council does not do anything. You can't really rely on them. They cause things to be even more hectic."
Alex sighed, "Okay but I can't leave now. My art shows ends in another half hour so I'll be home by then, alright?"
Justin nodded, "Come straight home and we'll work something out."
"Great," Alex whispered softly and walked back to her station with Jake waiting patiently, "Hey, sorry."
Jake shrugged, "No problem. Seemed like you were upset."
He was watching me? Alex smiled and shook her head, "Family stuff." That was technically true.
"Aww," Jake mocked and laughed, "Alright. We'll go out next time then. I'll see you later, Alex," he waved and left.
Alex felt her shoulders drop. Damn, she thought, stupid wizard. Stupid monster.
"Bye, Jake," she said softly.
