Chapter 2 – Borders and Boundaries
The air smelt of foulness. I snapped my head around.
There stood, an older Jacob Black. His face was rigid. I was repelled to the smell. I stumbled back, falling into Edward's chest.
He held me tight.
"You." He snarled the words. Crinkling up his nose.
"What do you want Jacob." I spat the words with no mercy. I wanted him to leave. Now.
"You're a bloodsucker now." He whispered.
"You're a mongrel." I spat at him.
"You are disgusting."
He inched forwards. Slowly, his feet thumped the ground rattling the chain gates.
"You have no right Jacob. Calling my family that." I snapped.
His black eyes widened. "What a lukewarm welcome, Bella."
"You aren't welcome, Jacob." Edward smiled and kissed my hair.
"You know you want me." Jacob urged. I wanted to kill him. Rip out his throat now.
"Yeah—" I smiled. "—dead."
His smile faded. Edward' smile grew crookedly. It was breathtaking. I guess Alice saw this coming.
"Then kill me." He challenged.
Oh, I will.
I ran forwards and fisted him in the jaw. He went flying over the fence, crashing into the nearest tree. Leaving a dent.
I had always wanted to do that. "That's for kissing me last time, Mut."
Jacob rubbed his jaw. "Damn bloodsucker."
He got back up reluctantly, I groaned. "What now?"
He frowned. "I thought you loved me Bella."
"I did when I was foolish. Love hungry. Foolish." I stretched the words long enough to hurt him.
"Fine." He replied, hurt coloring his voice.
He walked up and left, I couldn't help but feel a bit guilty. I had just knocked out my best friend. Or what use to be my best friend.
