Chapter Two
I was walking with Jacob threw the forest. Jacob was in his wolf form.
"So will you drive me to school tomorrow Jacob?" I asked as I looked up at the giant wolf. The wolf nodded his head and gave me a grin.
"You're so funny," I giggled as I rested my hand on Jacob's side. Then Jacob stopped and became stiff.
"Is your pack coming?" I asked as I leaned up against Jacob. Jacob nodded his head again. Then I heard the sound of 4 large animals running in our direction. After a few second 4 large wolves appeared in the clearing where Jacob and I stopped with the moon glowing over us. The largest out of the group was a black wolf who stood in front of the pack, which meant he was the alpha male. The other three are a chocolate brown colored wolf, a gray-coated wolf and another gray coated wolf but with dark spots on his fur. The the alpha gave me a glare and a growl
"I don't think your alpha likes me," I whispered to Jacob as I partly hid behind Jacob's long muscular legs. Jacob let a low growl escape his lips. I watched as the two stared at each other. Then after 5 minutes of that silence the other 3 wolves let out howls, which sounded kind of like laughter. Jacob barked at them while showing his fangs. The three lower ranked wolves quieted. Then the black wolf gave me a strange look before turning and running off with the other three close behind him.
"What was that about?" I asked him as we turned back around and started back to Jacob's house. The rusted color wolf didn't look at me as we walked back to the house.
"Ok I get it you don't want to talk about. You can tell me when you want me to know," I smiled as I combed my fingers threw Jacob's soft warm fur.
When we arrived at the house Jacob picked me up by the back of my shirt and dropped me gently on his window ceil.
"Jacob, are you going to sleep out here?" I asked as I sat on the window ceil. Jacob nodded his head.
"Come on just because you're always warm doesn't give you the right to sleep outside. I really don't mind sharing a bed with you. I will even transform into a girl if it makes you more comfortable," I smiled. Jacob sighed and ran into the forest and came back in his human body with no shirt on as usual.
"Happy?" asked Jacob as he climbed threw his window.
"Yes very," I answered as I sat down on Jacob's bed.
"So spoiled," muttered Jacob as he got onto the bed next to me and lied down on his side.
"Thanks Jacob," I whispered as I combed my fingers threw his hair.
"So are you really going to school?" asked Jacob as he closed his eyes.
"I just can't disappear for another week Jacob," I giggled.
"Oh come on," whined Jacob as he opened his eyes and gave me the puppy dog look.
"Sorry pup I can't," I smiled as I lied down, "But would you mind picking me up too tomorrow?"
"Yeah of course," yawned Jacob as he watched me slowly fall asleep.
"Thanks," I whispered as I finally let the darkness of sleep take me.
When I woke up in the morning I felt really warm. I opened my eye to see Jacob's chest. I went bright red when I noticed Jacob was holding me to his chest and that was the reason why I was sweating.
"Jacob," I whispered as I pulled my left arm out and brushed my fingers across his face.
"What is it," groaned Jacob as he opened his eyes.
"I'm really hot," I answered back into Jacob's ear.
"What?" asked Jacob as his eyes shot open.
"You're holding me Jake," I giggled as coved my mouth with my uninjured hand.
"Oh sorry," whispered Jacob as he quickly let go of me with a light blush across his face.
"No it's ok you kept me warm all threw the night," I smiled as I got out of bed.
"Let me help you put your sling on," whispered Jacob as he got out of bed, picked up the sling on the ground and helped me put it on.
"Thanks Jacob," I whispered as I felt Jacob's warm hands touch the back of my neck.
"Let's get going before anyone wakes up," whispered Jacob as he picked me up, jumped out the window and then he put me down on the ground.
"So do you think we can stop by my house?" I asked as Jacob and I walked towards the garage.
"Yeah but why?" asked Jacob as he let me threw the door first.
"I need to give you the extra tier for my front wheel and I need to change," I answered as Jacob opened the door to his rabbit for me.
"Oh yeah forgot about that," laughed Jacob as he closed my door, walked over to his side and got into the car.
"Let's go," I smiled as I watched Jacob start his car up.
When we finally arrived at my housed Jacob let me out and fallowed me up to my house.
"Geeze your house it huge," whispered Jacob as he fallowed me up the steps.
"Yeah it was one of the thousand of houses I've build," I answered as I pulled my keys out of my messenger bag that Jacob left in his car. I gently pushed my door open after I unlocked it and let Jacob in first while I fallowed close behind.
"Jacob the extra wheel to my bike is down this hall threw the first door on the right," I instructed as I started up the stairs to my bedroom. I walked down the hallway to a pair of metal double doors. I stopped in front of them and slide my hands across the cold surface. After a minute or so I pushed the two doors open to reveal my tradition Japanese room. The walls on the west side were made out of paper and wood and in the middle of the room was a king sized raised futon with a black and red kakebuton over it. Several pillow covered the head of the futon in black and red. I dropped my bag on my nicely made bed and walked to my closet. I pulled out a new set of cloths starting from the bottom but stopped at the top since I couldn't figure out how to put my tops on.
"Hey Max are you dressed!" called Jacob's voice from behind the door.
"Almost but do you think you can help me with my sling!" I called back with my fishnet long sleeve shirt in my hands.
"Ok, I'm coming in," answered Jacob as I heard my metal doors being pushed open. Jacob sighed, walked over to me and pulled my sling off.
"Thanks," I whispered as I pulled my shirt off and pulled the fishnet shirt on.
"No problem but why do you wear fishnet?" asked Jacob as he sat down on the futon and watched me dress.
"It reminds me of chain mail I use to wear," I answered as I pulled my t-shirt over it.
"Oh I see but let me help you with your jacket there," smiled Jacob as he got up seeing I was having trouble pushing my injured arm threw the arm of my jacket.
"Thank you Jacob," I giggled as I pulled my left arm threw the arm whole and zipped my jacket up,
"No problem," answered Jacob as he started to put the sling back around my neck after putting my arm into it.
"So did you find the tire?" I asked as I turned to look at Jacob.
"Yes," answered Jacob as he raised an eyebrow.
"Oh ok so my garage is clean," I whispered to myself but Jacob heard and laughed at me.
"So do you live here all alone?" asked Jacob as we walked down the front steps towards his car.
"Yeah," I answered sadly as Jacob opened the door for me and I got in.
"Maybe when you get better you can stay at my house and meet my dad," smiled Jacob as he started his car.
"And maybe I'll meet your wolf gang too," I smiled back as I leaned back in my seat as we drove off.
"Let's wait for that ok," laughed Jacob as he turned his wheel.
"Ok, ok I get it," I whispered as I closed my eyes.
"Don't fall asleep on me Max," called Jacob as I felt his eyes on me.
"I'm not sleeping just resting my eyes," I mumbled.
"Right," snickered Jacob as he put his attention on the road.
"Shut up," I groaned as I rubbed my forehead. After 10 minutes or so Jacob stopped the car.
"Here's your stop," said Jacob. I opened my eyes to see we where in the parking lot of Fork High School.
"Ok here I go," I muttered as I opened the door and got out.
"I'll pick you up after school. Ok," smiled Jacob.
"Yeah. Bye," I smiled back as I walked towards the front steps. Every person who saw me gasped at my new appearance. When I walked into my first class everyone stared at me but I brushed off his or her stares and took my seat next to Jasper.
"What happened to you?" asked Jasper as he studied my appearance.
"Fell off my bike," I answered with a smile as I unclipped my bag from my back.
"So how did you get to school?" asked Jasper as he noticed my right arm in a sling.
"A friend drove me to school," I yawned as I sat down.
"So does it hurt at all?" asked Jasper who looked at my injured left eye.
"Not really," I answered as I touched my covered eyes.
"That's good but what happened last week. I saw everyone mobbing you?" asked Jasper as he rested his head on the palm of his hand.
"I coughed out blood nothing too serious," I answered as I brushed a strand of blond hair out of my eyesight.
"What's your definition for serious?" asked Jasper who never heard anyone saying coughing out blood wasn't serious.
"Well I would say a sword threw the heart, lungs or head would be pretty serious," I answered as he studied Jasper closely.
"You're strange," chuckled Jasper.
"Thanks," I answered back a bit confused since I didn't know if it was a compliment or an insult.
"Your welcome," smiled Jasper who still had a chuckle behind his voice.
Lunch
I was sitting at an empty table with only an apple, pudding and a Arizona ice-tea sitting in front of me.
"Hey Anthanatos!" called a voice. I turned my head to see a girl around my age with long brown hair and brown eyes.
"Um hi," I answered back as the girl sat next to me.
"My Isabella Swam," greeted the girl.
"Isabella well that's a very beautiful name. I had a very close friend named Isabella when I lived in Europe," I smiled as I picked up my apple and took a bite out of it.
"Thanks," whispered Isabella as she blushed slightly.
"I can tell you came over for something else than to greet me so spill it," I sighed as I read some thoughts on the top of her mind.
"I came to ask you how do you know Jacob Black?" asked Isabella as the mood completely changed.
"Well the day after I arrived here at school I left the hospital early so I went riding around Forks. I drove a little far out into La Push and my tire blew out on me and I crashed. As you can see I hurt my left eye and right arm from the crash and Jacob found me. He took care of me until I was well enough to come to school," I answered as I took another bite of my apple, "But please excuse me." I picked up my empty pudding, half empty tea and my almost eaten apple and left while dropping my pudding into the trash bin.
"She's with the vampires," I muttered to myself as I walked down the steps of the school and into the parking lot, "Well that's weird." I sighed as I took the last bite of my apple and threw it over my shoulder and took a sip of my tea. After 10 minutes of walking I dropped my tea can to the ground, smashed it with my foot and dropped it into my messenger bag.
"This place is full of the unexpected," I whispered to myself as I turned around and started back to the high school.
Last Class
I was sitting on the bleachers in the gym watching my other classmates play dodge ball and lucky for me all 3 vampires were in my class.
"Anthan watch out!" called a voice of one of my classmates but it was too late. A rubber red ball smacked me square in the face making me fall backwards and hitting my head on the row of seats behind me.
"Oh fuck," I groaned as I opened my right eye and pushed myself up.
"Are you ok Anthan?" asked the voice of Alice.
"Yeah I'm ok I think," I muttered as I rubbed the back of my head.
"That ball really came at you didn't it," giggled Alice who was sitting next to me.
"Yeah who was the one who threw it anyway?" I asked as I looked around the gym.
"Edward," answered Alice as she pointed to Edward who was standing on the other side of the gym with a glare in his eye.
"He hates me already," I groaned as I closed my eyes.
"He doesn't hate you he's just angry at you for upsetting Bella," smiled Alice as she watched me.
"Oh so Bella is Edward's girlfriend is she?" I asked as I opened my eye to look at Alice.
"Yeah you can say that," answered Alice as she rested his head on the palms of her hands.
"So that's the connection," I whispered to myself as I scratched the side of my head.
"So Anthan how did you get those?" asked Alice who noticed my injured eye and arm.
"I fell off my bike," I answered as I brushed my left hand over my covered left eye.
"How did that happen?" asked Alice.
"My front tire blew out and my back of by bike fell on top of me," I answered as I picked up the red rubber ball.
"Does it hurt at all?" asked Alice as she watched me stand up.
"Not really," I answered as I threw the ball as hard as I could at Edward with my left hand. The ball was so fast it hit Edward square in the back of the head, the red ball bounced off his head and slammed into the wall making a loud bam sound. Edward snapped his head around with that same hard glare in his eyes. I gave him a grin while waving at him. I could hear Alice giggling behind me.
"Mr. Adamson!" called the Gym coach.
"Oops," I whispered as I rubbed the back of my head.
After Gym Class
I was picking my bag up from the ground where I left it before I sat up near the top of bleachers. After I buckled my messenger bag to my back I quickly left the gym and towards the front doors. But before I got to the doors my sight went black. I saw a flash of someone standing in a tornado of fire with someone in a black cloak watching, but the vision only lasted a few seconds and I found myself leaning against a group of lockers.
"Everything I touch gets destroy doesn't it," I laughed to myself as I closed my eye to think about the quick flash.
"Hey are you ok?" asked the voice of Jasper. My eye snapped open and I turned my head to look at Jasper who stood a foot away from me.
"Yeah I'm fine just a little light headedness," I smiled at Jasper as I pushed myself off the lockers.
"It look to be you were going to have a panic attack," smirked Jasper as he fallowed me towards the front doors.
"Did it?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.
"Max!" called the voice of Jacob.
"See you later Jasper," I whispered gently to the blond as I ran towards Jacob's rabbit.
"So how was your day?" asked Jacob who leaned over to open the door for me.
"Good I guest," I answered as I unclipped my bag before getting in.
"And it seems Edward doesn't like you very much," laughed Jacob.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I gave Jacob a strange look.
"When I watch you walk down the steps Edward was glaring at you the whole way," answered Jacob as he looked at his mirror, "And he is still glaring too."
"Whatever let's go," I sighed as I buckled my seatbelt.
"Ok," smiled Jacob as he started up his car and went down the road.
"So how was your day" I asked as I studied my right hand.
"Same as always," answered Jacob as he turned his wheel.
"SOOO interesting," I giggled.
"Well your description wasn't that great either," growled Jacob playfully.
"Well nothing did happen," I answered back as I started to twirl my hair.
"Right," smirked Jacob as he parked his car in front of my house.
"Ok I did hit Edward in the back of the head with a rubber ball during dodge ball," I sighed as I opened the door.
"You hit the blood sucker with a ball," laughed Jacob.
"Yeah didn't do much damage but it was funny," I smiled as I clipped my bag to my back and shut the rabbit door, "Will you pick me up tomorrow Jacob?"
"Of course I will," smiled Jacob as he watched me walk up the steps to my home. When I unlocked the door and opened the door I turned around to look at Jacob. I waved to him and then I heard the rumble of his car. I smiled, walked into my house, shut and locked the door behind me.
"So my next opponent will be a pyro," I whispered as I dropped my keys into a bowl while dropping my mostly empty bag next to the table that the bowl sat on. I walked down the hall into my large kitchen, which had a nice sized island in the middle with 4 stools sitting on the side of the island that faced the kitchen. I walked over to my fridge, opened the freeze and pulled out some double fudge ice cream. I opened one of my many drawers, pulled out a very large spoon and headed to the sofa. I plopped down on the comfy sofa and turned the TV on. I opened the lid of the ice cream, took a large spoon full out, and shoved it into my mouth letting the dark brown ice cream melt in my mouth. Then after a few minutes something caught my attention. It was a news report about a huge forest fire down in California.
"That close," I muttered as I put down the ice cream and headed up to my room. I pushed the metal door open with my left hand and headed to a huge Japanese styled trunk. I pulled a key out from my back pocket and shoved it into the lock that locked the trunk shut. After a few turns a light click was heard and the lock fell off with a soft thud. I pushed open the trunk and looked inside. Sitting inside the trunk was several different weapons.
"Which to use," I muttered as I pushed threw the metal and wood. Then I smiled as I found the weapon I was looking for. I pushed a few kunai out of the way, picking up the weapon that sat at the very bottom of the trunk and pulled it out.
"Perfect," I whispered as I twisted the Bisento in my hand. After a minute of playing with the long spear like weapon I stopped and placed it against the wall. I shut and locked the chest gently and the pulled my arm out of my sling.
"All better," I smiled as I unwrapped the bandages from my arm. I studied my pale arm that had a small scar across the back of my forearm.
"But I must keep this sling on for another week or two though," I muttered as I dropped the sling on my futon and picked up my Bisento. I started to spin and twirl the weapon in my hands.
"I'll be ready for you pyro," I smiled as I pointed my weapon at a full length mirror, "And you wont be get me anytime soon."
