Chapter Two
Going Dog
When I woke up the next morning I was so hot I felt like I was burning my sheets, I wasn't of corse but I had no desire of spending the day with my mother so I got up fighting the aches and nausea and I took a cool shower. Luckly when I cantered down the stairs(for faulse healthyness) both my mother and her husband were not there. I stepped outside to find my beater car my mothers husband had given me upon moving here keys in the ignition. I couldn't help but smile even though I felt like I was going to die of heat egsausten.
I pulled out of the drive way and headed to the school on the Resevation. When I reached it I parked in the front, which was a stroke of luck and I got out headed for my first period class.
I spent my entire first six months sitting in the back and was never even aware of the fact that I shared a class with Jacob Black. But lo and behold there he was sitting in the back next to my own desk. I didn't say anything to him as I sat down in my desk. He gave me a look of concerned confution but I ignored him as the teacher walked in. I wasn't about to cave and talk to him, he had made me cry nobody made me cry not even my mother or the fact that my father didn't want me. I wasn't about to talk to him.
Suddenly I had this entence erge to vomit which would be bad because I was in class and before I knew what I was doing I was jumping up to run from the classroom but when I did this I almost fell forward if not for Jacob catching me. I heard him tell the teacher he would take me to the nurse and then I felt the cool water hit my fourhead and siged in relief. Instead of heading to the nurse though he headed for his Rabbit.
"Where are we going?" I asked struggeling in his arms.
"Im taking you to Sam." He said almost mechanically.
"Why? Im sick!" I exclaimed not that I wanted to go to the nurse, she would call my mother and then id be in a pickle. Eh my mother doteing upon while Im sickly, Not fun.
"You arnt sick." He said when we reached his car he skillfully opened the door and deposited me on the seat.
"Is someone going to get my car?" I asked irritated although I was leaning my head back on the head of the chair already relaxing.
"Ill make sure it gets taken care of." Jacob said and closed the door. After a few minutes I felt the car jump to life and begin role down the road. I opened my eyes when he said something to me although I didn't catch it.
"Mandi are you listening to me?" he asked and I shook my head in honesty. I didn't even correct him for calling me Mandi. My mother always called me that so I hated it.
"Youre turning into a werewolf." He repeated and for a minute I just nodded only half with it and then I processed his words. I sat so straight I hit my head on the roof of the car.
"Im what?" I asked.
"You heard me." Jacob said back and I moaned.
"I can not turn into a dog right now. My mother already exspects me to look pretty all the time."
"We are not dogs, we are werewolves." Jacob said angerly.
"Im sorry Jake." I whispered and I saw him smile. "What?" I asked.
"Oh nothing." He said turning into the driveway of the house I was at yesterday.
I didn't push the subject and when he wanted to carry me into the house I was more then willing to let him. I felt so terrible at that point that I could bairly stand. Although I felt that way all I could hear is my mothers voice in my head telling me I shouldn't have skipped school for such a small litlle thing. That's if she didn't pass out from shock first. Oh god I would probally give my mother a heart attack. That's if I decided to tell her. I wasn't so sure that was going to happen. When I entered the house in Jacobs arms though I knew I wouldn't be aloud to tell anyone because there was Sam and he didn't look at all pleased to see me
"I told you this was going to happen Jacob." Sam said taking me from Jacob and setting me down on the couch. At this point I was shivering so badly I couldn't even clench my fists. Jacob took a little time to put a blanket over me. How sweet I thought before I could stop the thought but that was besides the point. Back to what they were saying about me while I was in the room.
"She needs your help Sam." Jake said.
"I know that Jacob." Sam said and sat down next to me on the couch. "You feel as if your going to die now, but give it a week and it will pass."
"A week? My mother." I trailed off.
"Emily is going to go tell Jimmy youll be here with her for a while. He will of course know whats going on." Sam explained I could see Jacob hovering in the backround looking worryied.
"Jimmy?" I asked sinking into darkness.
Then I was gone.
I don't remember too much about that week, just that I felt like I was dieing of a terrible cold and that I wanted it to be over. I remember Jacob was there a lot, but I was so delirious from heat egsaution that I couldn't have been sure. He was however there the frist time I ever felt half normal again. I remember opening my eyes and finding him watching me.
"Your temp have evened out." He whispered handing me some water. I only nodded and took a drink. He gave me a half smile, he thought I had forgiven him. Ha!
"Why did I change? From what Sam has told me over this week. Or at least what I remember I shouldn't have." I asked.
"Its my fault you changed. We exchanged body fluid." He said blushing and I smiled a little.
"You are so very like a little boy still Jacob Black." I said and before I knew what was happening Jacob was kissing me hard on the mouth. I pulled away breathing hard.
"sorry." He growled getting up and paceing the room like a caged dog.
"That's fine." I said.
"Its not though you are a werewolf because of me." He said turning to where I lay.
"Ill be fine." I said.
"You have to learn to control your anger or you will change." Jake said.
"I can handle it." I said getting up slowly.
"If you need anything Ill be here I promise. And Jimmys going to help." Jake said.
"Thank you Jacob, Im just going to go home and take a shower okay?" I said touching his cheek. He grabbed my hand at that minute and kissed my palm.
I left without another word and I didn't see him for almost two weeks.
