Drumbeat

Jared bets Paul that he'll kiss her any day now. Paul isn't so sure, thinks that maybe Jacob will be the kind to wait. Embry stays out this bet, knowing that the elder werewolves would probably just insist that he has an unfair advantage. Having known Jake before the transformation.

All this passes through the part of Jacob's mind that he shared with his brothers, but he doesn't join in. They know he can hear them. Of course he does. But as he sniffs the air, tries to find the scent of the red-headed vampire, takes off to circle the perimeter again, the only thought in his head is Bella Bella Bella Swan.

Sam is falling into the rhythm. It must remind him of the drum that resonates Emily's beat. Before he knows it, the other three are picking it up too.

Their paws strike the Quileute soil, and the wolves run on.


AN. Thus "Who's Afraid?" turns into a Jacob drabble collection. 'Cause he's cool like that. :D
