(Mini)Chapter 2:: Almost There
Hinata felt dry once again. The man...what was his name?
...
Oh well...
But that man in the suit, ever since he left, she felt like she was being scorched in the dessert. The IV was removed from her veins long ago, believing that she was healthy enough to not need it.
The female gulped whatever saliva she had left. Her eyes drooped and she carefully bumped the table with her hand. The empty glass moved, but didn't fall. The nymph whimpered a cry for help. The sun was going down, and noone seemed to be bothered to help her. Nurses cooed her to sleep when she asked for water, but they said she already drank too much in one go that they were afraid of water poisoning.
Which was absolutely ridiculous.
"..."
Hinata cried out again for someone to answer her, but got no reply.

"Sakura! I don't know what you're doing, but you need to get out of the forest right now! It's not safe during the dark hours...", Jacob mentally capped 'dark hours'. That sounded like something a vampire would say, and he's ready to remind himself never to use that word again.
Jacob stopped the female from pushing him any further into the forest. A bead of sweat dripped from his temple. She was pushing him too close to the blood-suckers territory.
Sakura held up her hands over her pink lips. Her eyes widening slightly. "B-But I love the forest! No creature is hard to handle for Sakura Haruno!", the pinkette fake laughed.
'Nothing except a vampire...', Jacob grimaced.
"Sakura, come on stop playing around...We have to get out of here."
"Pssshh...You're acting as if we haven't known eachother..."
"That's because we haven't... I just met you 10 minutes ago..."
"You liiiiaarr...Ok...yeah we don't know eachother that well, b-but I can explain why I brought you to the forest!"
Jacob crossed his arms stiffening slightly as she edged closer out of the werewolves territory.
'Just a few more steps closer and she might be a goner...!'
"I-I umm...I saw a rare flower in the forest and wanted to make it a perfume!"
Jacob made a face.
"...Err..."

Hinata tilted her head feeling a deep grogginess overcome her senses. She coughed violently and quickly pushed herself up from the bed. "Help...?", she called out. Her pupils started to dilate and she swore she could feel the presence of a different being near her.
She started to choke on the dry air.
"Please...!"

"I can't believe it! I really can't! I mean...It's so small! The rare flower! So beautiful it is!", Sakura picked up a common flower from the forest floor holding it up to Jacob. Jacob made another face, still not believing her lies. Sakura chuckled lightly, her bright green eyes shifting to the sides, "S-See?"
She shoved the small flower closer to his face. Jacob rolled his eyes.
"Sakur-"
"No no! Look Jacob look! See the beauty of it!"
The male sighed then inhaled.
That's when the smell hit him.
X0x0x0
Hinata curled up on the floor. Just earlier she failed to get out of bed and stand on her two feet. This resulted in her falling and twisting her ankle alittle.
She whimpered out of the pain and started to cry through her dark blue lashes.
"H-Help..."
X0x0x0
Jacob felt light-headed. The sudden burst of...flowers is just overwhelming. The male placed a hand on the top of his head. He growled lightly.
"W-What the...?"
"Jacob?"
He knew she wouldn't smell it, she was human afterall...
"Jacob! Jacob can you hear me!?"
"...? Embry?"
"Umm..Me and Quil found something in the forest."
"That flower smell...Could the thing you found have a strong flower smell?"
"Yeah! It's...kind of nauseating."
"I'll say...I'll be right there..."
"Jacob?"
Jacob blinked and looked over at the pink-haired girl.
Oh...right...
Sakura stared at him with a worried face. "Are you ok? You were staring at me with a glazed look..."
Just as Jacob was about to come up with a reply, Sakura was the one with the glazed look.
"Sakura! HELP SAKURA!"
"...!? Where are you!?"
"W-Wolves...! A bunch of them! And they're...they're..."
"Spit it out!"
"HELP ME."
Sakura had no time to think. She made the fastest beeline she could towards the area she felt Sakura in. Jacob was left in the dust. He blinked and was happy she was now nowhere near the Cullen's, but was scared that she'd now find out all about werewolves! She was heading towards Embry and Quil!
"SAKURA...", both screamed in unison.
