Chapter 2
Jacob's POV
Jessica must have realized we were holding hand and she quickly slipped her hand in her pocket. She giggled awkwardly to herself and took her hair out of a braid. She shook her hair and absentmindedly making me want to kiss her. God, she's beautiful,I thought. I froze, I made the mistake of thinking something completely embarrassing for all of the wrong people to hear.Who?,Quil Ateara asked. I ignored Quil and asked Sam, Are you guys at Emily's?Yeah, why?,Sam replied. I have...uh...friend I want ya'll to meet,I answered. A beautiful one?,Quil joked. Shut up,I snapped.
We were right outside of Emily's house, Emily's house wasn't big a bit smaller than my own. The smell of cinnamon muffins danced gracefully outside and gently caressed Jessica and my nose, it was so lovely, so mouthwatering. I looked at the angel next to me seeing that her face was looking at me curiously.
"Who's Emily?" Jessica asked.
"Huh?" I asked confused. I was positive I had not said the word Emily out loud. Is it possible she had read my mind? No, she's not part of our pack.
"Nevermind," she said. I opened the front door to Emily and Sam's house and held it open for Jessica. She walked in and flashed me a smile. I hesitantly put my arm around her and gave a wide toothy smile. The whole house went silent and everyone starred at us. Sam and Emily were the first ones to stand up.
"Hello, I am Sam and this is my fiance, Emily," Sam said.
"Pleasure to meet you, I'm Jessica Garto," Jessica said. She shook Sam and Emily's hand and smiled. Quil, Jared and Embry jumped up and smiled at Jessica.
"Hey, I'm Quil, that's Jared and that's Embry," he said and jerked his thumb at Jared and Embry. Jessica waved and smiled. She turned and saw Paul. They caught each others eyes and starred at each other. Paul smiled and Jessica smiled at the ground.
Paul's POV
Mrs. Jessica Lahote...I could see it. She was so beautiful and perfect I had to keep my self from kissing her. The sun made her amber eyes sparkle and her russet skin glisten. I was in love.
"Hi," I said.
"Hi," she replied. Jessica looked at me and laughed awkwardly.
"I'm Paul Lahote," I said.
"I'm Jessica Garto," she said.
"So, where are you from?" I asked.
"Vera Vista."
"Wow."
"What?"
"Aren't they really poor there?"
"Yeah."
"So why did you leave? I mean people usually don't just move from a reservation without a real reason." Paul, be careful about what you say,Jacob warned.
"My dad kicked us out," she nearly snarled.
"Why?" I asked. Jacob shot me a look and I immediately regretted asking that.
"He was abusive, he beat the crap out of me and my mom and my brother everyday. One day my mother snapped and started yelling at him. He got made and nearly killed her and my brother. He was so mad when I sort of..tried to kill him that he kicked us out," she growled. You could see it in her eyes, she was pissed off.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know," I assured her. Sam glared at me then her.
"Dear, sit down," Emily said. Jessica sat down and sighed.
"What is his name?" Sam asked
"Why?" she asked.
"Just curious," Sam said
"Christopher Alexander Garto," Jessica answered. Sam laughed.
"What?" Jacob asked.
"He's the Leader of the Tribal Council. I've met him, he is rude, cruel, and an egotistical narcissistic," Sam answered.
"So that's why he can kick people out, he things he rules the world," I muttered. Jessica shot me a looked and smiled. I heard a phone buzz and she grabbed her pink phone out of her front pocket.
"Crap," she muttered under her breath.
"What?" Jacob asked.
"Karno is on his way..he's pretty pissed," she laughed.
"Who's Karno?" Sam and I asked at the same.
"My brother," Jessica sighed.
"Why's he mad?" Sam asked.
"Probably because she's hanging around the guy who dislocated her shoulder within the first twenty minutes of meeting her," Jacob laughed. Jessica rolled her eyes and laughed. We all starred at Jacob and Jessica. Was he serious? He dislocated her shoulder? What was wrong with him?
"Are you serious?" Sam asked.
"He's probably mad cause I'm alone with a bunch of werewolves," she laughed. Sam just starred at them confused.
"Wait! Your dislocated her shoulder?" he nearly screamed.
"Yeah," Jacob replied.
"It was an accident," Jessica assured him. Sam turned towards Jessica.
"Your a werewolf?" he yelled. She nodded. She froze for a second and jumped out of her chair and burst out of the house.
"What just happened?" I asked. Jacob was out of the house before any one had a chance to answer.
Jacob's POV
I flew out of the house the minute I realized what was about to happen. A very mad Karno was approaching. Jessica leaned against a tree, with her arms crossed, waiting.
"What do you want Karno?" Jessica growled.
"You just walked off and left! I thought you were dead!" he screamed.
"I wish I was," she growled. She was walked up to Karno and starred him right in the eyes. She was three inches away from him. He pushed her back, causing her to trip on a branch and fall backwards. He laughed and she jumped up. She clenched her fist and punched him in the face. He pulled back and grabbed her arm. He punched her in the stomach. She doubled over and he immediately ran to her aid. She kicked him in the stomach and he started getting mad. He was breathing heavily and that's when I saw it. He was ready to phase.
"Karno calm down," I said. Paul and Sam ran out side and immediately spotted that I needed help. They joined my side and we stood in front of Karno.
"Calm down," Paul said. He pushed Karno away from them. Sam put his hand in front of Paul.
"You don't know me," Karno snarled.
"True but I know your type," Sam said calmly though it was obvious he was itching to punch Karno in the stomach.
"My type?" Karno growled.
"Yeah, your determined to keep your sister out of harms way because you feel you owe her. You get mad when she starts rebelling and you over-react. Karno, you could seriously hurt someone if you don't calm down," Sam said. That mad him alot madder. It was to late. Before we knew it he was puffing up and sweating. Paul did the dumbest thing he probably could have done, he let his temper get the best of him.
Karno phased right then and there. He traded his russet skin for a grey coat of fur. He snarled and howled. Paul phased and transformed into a silver furred wolf. Both ran at each other and jumped at each other. I quickly closed my eyes, afraid of what I was going to see. My eyes snapped open when I heard a loud crack and a weak whimper and looked to see a black wolf with a white chest laying on the ground, bloody. I stood there stunned and immediately ran over to her. Jessica phased back to a human and laid there, unconscious. Paul and Karno phased back and ran by her. I looked up and Karno and saw tears in his eyes. He phased and ran into the woods. Paul stood there, stunned and touched her cheek.
"I am such a horrible person," he muttered. Quil, Embry, Jared, and Emily ran out of the house and surrounded Jessica.
"Oh my god is she alright," Emily asked Sam. He shook his head.
"What happened?" Quil asked.
"Paul and Karno got in a fight, Jessica jumped in between them," I answered.
"What should we do?" Embry asked.
"Paul, go call Carlisle," Sam said.
"Are you sure we should get the bloodsuckers involved?" Jared asked.
"As much as I hate asking a favor from the Cullen's, this is necessary," Sam answered. Paul nodded and ran to call Carlisle. Every one just sat there and waited.
