Chapter 2

It was sundown, Jasper and Dessica were still in the tree locking-lips. Jasper suddenly lifted up his jacket and looked at the sunset.

"I better get you home." He said as he put his jacket back on. "Before your pack begins a search party." Dessica chuckled.

"Too late!" Embry said looking up at them. He began to climb up the tree with many flips and turns. Before they knew it, he was right in front of Dessica's face.

"Its pass your curfew." Embry said. "You were supposed to be home by 6:04 exactly."

"Oh really?" Dessica said. "And what time is it now, exactly?" Embry looked at his watch and looked around nervously.

"6:01" He said quietly. Jasper chuckled. Embry quickly shot a glare at him. Jasper cleared his throat and looked away.

"But what does it matter? You father wants you home, he's starting to worry." He looked at Jasper.

"He can't stand you spending anymore time with this son-of-a-blood sucker."

"Are you sure her father said that or is it just you?" Jasper snapped.

"Ok, alright, let's go." Dessica said trying to separate them. "I don't think this branch can hold more than 3 people." She chuckled nervously as she began to climb down and stopped.

"Um, I'm gonna need some help here." She said.

"I'll hel-." Jasper and Embry said at the same time. They frowned at each other.

"I got her." Embry said. He rushed down and gathered Dessica on his arm. He climbed down as she held on. She looked up at Jasper and blew his a quick kiss. He caught it and put it in his pocket. Dessica giggled.

"What?" Embry asked.

"Nothing." She said as he landed on the ground.

When they finally got home, Jacob was waiting by the door. He grinned when he saw Dessica with Embry.

"Ah, look what the dog chewed up." Jacob said.

"Ah, shut up." Embry snarled.

"So, where were you two all day?"

"Well, I was exercising for a couple of hours and then I went out looking for her."

"And where were you, Dessica?" Jacob crossed his arms. Dessica starts to play with little twists in her hair.

"With a friend." She said.

"What friend Dessica?" She covered her mouth half-way.

"Jaspermm" She said.

"Jasper!?" He snapped. "That damn blood-sucker again?"

"I can't help it I….!"

"You what?" Dessica froze.

"I…..I have fun with him."

"What kind of fun?"

"What does it matter to you?"

"It matters cause you're my sister!"

"Alright, what's with all the noise?" Their father rolled in.

"Your daughter is running around with that Cullen guy." Embry said.

"His name is Jasper, thank you!" Dessica snapped. Their father looked at Jacob who gave him a look. He nodded at him.

"Well to change the subject, Dessica, I need you and Embry to go and run an errand for me."

"What kind of errand dad?" She asked.

"I need you to go out into the woods and keep watch for trespassers while I watch the game."

"What?"

"Alright." Embry said.

"Don't worry; it'll only be until 9." Dessica rolled her eyes.

"Ok, dad." Dessica walked towards the door with Embry. Her face was long.

"Aw come on, it wont be so bad." Embry said. "I see it as a good way to talk and get to know each other better."

2 Hours Later

All was quiet. Dessica was curled into a ball as she sat next to Embry.

"Hang on." He said. "Only one more hour to go."

"Y-y-y-yeah, th-that helps." She chattered.

"It's not that cold." Dessica looked at him.

"How can you not be cold?" She asked. "I mean hell, your shirtless and you don't even feel the slightest chill?" A breeze brushed against Dessica's face and she shivered. Embry smirked at her.

"Come here." He leaned over and put his arm over her.

"What are you-?" She asked as she laid her head on his chest.

"Dear God you're so warm!" She cuddled closer to Embry as he held her closer. Something was rustling in the trees, but they figured it was just the wind. When it was really Jasper, watching. She looked up at Embry and his eyes looked settle and calm. He began to slowly lean towards her as his eyes were closing. Her lips began to quiver.

"Uh, uh." She said. Jasper started to grind his teeth and grip the tree as he watched. He was ripping the bark with his bare hands.

"I….I…." Dessica continued to stutter.

"I gotta go….to the bathroom." She hopped up and left Embry hanging. He fell slightly to the side as she ran back to the house. Jasper watched her run away. Once he lost sight of her, he frowned at Embry. He was still sitting on the ground.

"Crap." Embry said under his breath. He stood up and began to follow after Dessica. Jasper watched him leave with hate in his eyes. He tore his hand away from the bark and rushed off into the dark woods back home.
