"Well…what are you schooling me in today, Jake?" Chibs asked, calling Jacob by his nickname for him.
"Self control" Jacob answered, he turned to Bella, "You might wanna stay back for this, Bella. Newbies to the lycanthrope have barely, if any, self control".
Chibs focused his energy of changing and it happened. It wasn't painful now, Jacob had taught him to get used to the pain. The dark gray fur covered his entire body and his tail sprung from his tailbone. His mouth grew to that of a lemur's muzzle. His nails became longer and sharper. His eyes turned to a deep golden color. He snarled at both Bella and Jacob.
"Control it, Chibs. You're stronger than the animal" Jacob encouraged, "Resist the urge to bite and scratch".
"What about the bloodlust?" Bella asked.
"He's half lycanthrope, he doesn't need blood entirely".
"He can't eat solid food".
"That's normal for the time being. His body's still getting adjusted to the changes".
Chibs lunged around and came close to biting Jacob, but somehow resisted the urge. Jacob smiled. It was working. Just when he had started to give up on him, the man resisted the everlasting urge to pass his venom to someone else. Not that it would've mattered, since Jacob was already a werewolf.
The half-breed then turned to Bella and the strangest thing happened. He went berserk and leaped over Jacob to try to get to Bella, fangs bared, ready to strike. Bella screamed, and then it seemed as if something struck Chibs in the air. Bella looked and Edward was there, standing in front of her. He had struck Chibs in mid air!
"How'd you-".
"I've become faster. Jacob…if you're going to train him, go somewhere else. The last thing we need right now is someone getting bitten".
"I'm trying to teach him self control and it was working for about five seconds".
"Understand this, Jacob; half breeds don't know self control. He can't possibly know how to control that thing. You were born a lycanthrope, right?"
"I've been one for as long as I can remember, yeah".
"So you innately knew how to control it. Plus…a werewolf is no good with trying to train a Were-ringtail. It just doesn't work that way" Edward walked toward Chibs, who was still on his side, breathing hard,"Change back".
Chibs turned his head and tried to lunge at Edward, who simply moved away.
"Change back, damn you!".
Chibs snarled.
"Change…back…now!".
Edward gave Chibs a stern, threatening look, and only then did Chibs change.
He was still on the ground, holding his side where Edward had hit him.
"Damn Ed, you hit hard".
"You were about to mark Bella".
Chibs spat. "Damn it! What do I do now?".
Edward helped him up. "Maybe now you should consider going back to Charming. Not that we want you to go back, but there's actual lycanthropes who can help you there".
"Hey, then what am I?!" Jacob asked.
"You're a werewolf, yeah, not a were-ringtail".
"Okay, I'm not, so sue me".
"I'm not going anywhere. Alice needs me, and I get a feeling that something bad is about to hit us. You know when you see a mysterious figure come out of nowhere and you get a strange feeling? Well, that's what these dreams are to me".
"Maybe you should ask Carlisle about it" Bella suggested.
"I will when I get around to it. Are we done, Jacob?"
"We might as well be for now".
Chibs sighed and went back inside. It seemed the more time he spent here, the worse his "Condition" got.
A/N: Yeah, this is off schedule, I'm sorry guys, but my internet crashed on the 8th. Well, next chapter: We check up on the guys back in Charming and see what they've been up to. See ya then!
