Chapter 1- Jacob's POV
I was enraged, and the pack knew it. Normally, running through the lush green forest around La Push calmed me down. It was the thrill of the hunt, and the feeling of wind in my fur that helped me lose myself and calm down, but as we hunted down that parasite Jasper Cullen, my rage only grew. I felt the pack grow tense around me. They knew what happened when I got this mad. Luckily, I was already in my wolf form.
When I get my jaws around that fucking parasite that shit face is going to regret ever killing Frost in the first place. My tongue lolled as I thought about crushing his throat.
Jacob, will you stop freaking cussing like that? Leah growled somewhere behind me. I brushed her off
Jake, you didn't even know her. Quil tried to calm me, but I brushed his comment off too and surged forward. I felt my muscles ripple as I readied myself for a jump over a downed tree that was covered thickly with moss.
We had to be catching up to him. We had to catch him, or else I would never forgive myself.
The pack only used this as an excuse to kill the vampires that had been living in Forks for the past three and a half years. I saw this as so much more. It complicated everything in my life, and I felt like it was entirely my fault.
I hadn't known the girl that had been killed, but when Charlie Swan, the police chief of Forks and close friend of my dad's, had called my father up to come to the scene of the incident, I quickly learned about who she was.
Her name had been Elizabeth Janine Frost, and she was the kid of a friend of my father's and Charlie's. The picture that had been found on her had told the three of us that much. I had met her once when she had asked me for some help on her car when it had broke down on the side of the road in La Push days before. She had been so nice and bubbly when I had talked to her. She was so at ease, and she even knew a bit about cars. I wish I could've gotten to know her. There was something about her that seemed to remind me of my wolf brethren.
The problem was that the entire pack knew how I felt. If the teasing from Quil and Embry was enough to drive me mad, I was ready to kill Leah when she told me to stop thinking about her. I made an asshole out of myself when I told her to fuck off because she had no room to talk. She tormented us with her thoughts of Sam. I think that our little fucked up pack would be the next best soap opera if anybody knew about the shit that we had to deal with on a daily basis.
I was fucking sick of it all.
I wanted some privacy, but I had to kill the Cullen kid first, and I would.
"I can't figure out what happened to her." Charlie Swan said as he had looked down at the girl that was curled up at his feet. Her red curls trailed down her back, standing out against the green shirt she had been wearing. The jeans she had been wearing looked like something out of a Hot Topic, even though the nearest one was in Seattle.
"Looks like an animal attack." Billy had said upon close inspection. He looked down at her, sadness was clear in his dark eyes. "It went straight for her throat and slit the main vein. It must have been a bear, or maybe a wolf." He shook his head. "Hank will be so upset. Last time I talked to him, she was his pride and joy."
Seeing that look on my father, I had to wonder. How close was to Frost's father? I had only seen that look on my father before, when my mother died in the car wreck. Frost, I started calling her that to keep myself thinking about her body. She looked so broken. I went to pick her up, crying like a little baby. I felt connected to her, and to see her dead made me feel like I had lost a member of the pack. As sick and fucked up as our pack was.
No more bubbly laughs, no more artistic drawings to worry about. I had seen the drawings in her car. She was an amazing artist.
Life sucks and then you die. I thought sadly. Find somebody you might've liked if you got the chance. BOOM! A freaking vampire kills her after less than a week in Forks.
Jake will you get your head out of the clouds. Paul growled as he caught up to me. It's not like you imprinted on her.
Well she would have been better than imprinting on my sister. I huffed and ran faster. Paul was such a jerk, and personally, I was glad I hadn't imprinted on her. I enjoyed the freedom of having a choice in my love life. We continued to follow the trail towards the mountains. These vampires are so predictable. They go someplace they know. The pack agreed silently, except for Sam.
I think that we should split. There has to be a trap or something. They wouldn't make it this easy. Jake?
What is it Sam? I stopped at the base of a large redwood. We were in California now, but the trail was changing direction. He was going east. I vaguely thought about where Frost had lived before she moved to Forks as I waited for Sam to tell me what his plan was. Willsboro, Indiana. Could they possibly be going that way?
I doubt that. Sam said simply as he walked up. I was taller than him now. Not by much, but still taller. They wouldn't even know where she lived.
Check school records. She's been to plenty of schools. They'd be able to find where she last lived that way. I looked east. I just knew they were going to Indiana. Sam, trust me. I've got this feeling.
I know. I was going to say, I doubt that they would be going there, but I'll let you go ahead and follow the path with Quil and Embry. If you find anything call your father and tell him. The rest of us are going back to Forks. Maybe we missed something before we left. Sam turned away from me and walked towards the rest of the pack as Quil and Embry trotted up to me.
I will find him Sam. I will find that parasite and kill him or die trying.
Sam nodded. He and the other six members of the pack shot of towards Forks, leaving Quil, Embry, and myself to follow my instincts. I looked at them.
Let's get going. We've got a vampire to kill.
We shot off towards the east. I was ready as my mind thought of more ways to kill that son of a bitch.
AN: Another short chapter. Which would be better, Bella next, Edward, or Elizabeth…. Hmmm… so much to think of… so many possibilities… Don't forget to review please. I look forward to reading what you think. Talicka
