Chapter 2:
Slamming the ancient book across the mocha colored oval coffee table, Quil flipped through the delicate pages, finding the exact section that was needed to discover the origin of the woman who was knocked out in a few rooms down the hall.
"Who is she?" Leah demanded, focusing her eyes upon Jacob.
"That's what the book is for," Quil casually stated finding the exact page where the explanation began. "Here," he proudly proclaimed pressing his finger against the page.
Snatching the book from the table, the youngest wolf began to speak the antique words printed in a elegant font on the frail pages. "Oh, Romeo, Romeo. Where for art thou Romeo?" Seth mocked speaking in a high pitched voice with a simple high class accent. The pack rolled with laughter as Jacob sat starring upon his pack of idiots. "Alright. I'm done." Clearing his throat as if preparing for a speech the boy began again. "Known as a band of five brothers, The Hunters began in the beginning era of The Vampires. After the death of their father, mother, and sister the five sought out help. A local witch assisted them in their needs. She granted them immortalization, strength, and agility just as those of The Vampires. She bargained that the brothers end all the supernatural beings on the planet which she gave spell bound weapons so they could do so. The brothers themselves held a special key to success. The key is not known. The witch was killed by the ruler of the vampires, the Volturi. Once finding the weakness of the brothers they were ended just as quickly." Slamming the book shut Seth stated, "Well that's morbid. You're girlfriend is a dead species that is bound to die at the hands of the Volturi. The key of success will never be known! Supernatural beings will roam the earth forever! Whatever shall we do?" The young wolf laughed to himself before strutting out the door heading to the cliffs.
Hearing the ruffle of the sheets from the bedroom down the hall all of the wolves starred, waiting for the woman to emerge from the room. Jacob stared at the more revealing woman as she stormed down the hall. Her armory and guns had been traded for a pair of skinny cargo pants and a form fitting tank top.
"You," she spat at Jacob, pointing at him. He arose from the couch meeting her at the entry way of the living room. "What the hell did you do to me? You care to tell me what the fuck this is?" She demanded pointing at the fresh wound on her neck. The concerned Beta arose from her seat stepping in between Jacob and the fuming hunter. "Excuse me," she turned her focus on Leah. "If you don't mind, would you move?" Standing firmly the she wolf didn't budge. "This doesn't concern you!" Lifting her hands from her sides she forcefully pushed Leah out of her way.
A growl sharply rolled in Leah's throat. Snapping her head in Leah's direction the hunter stared at her in slight amusement and wonder. She loved a fight and wouldn't back down from one if challenged. Turning she barred her chest out and squared her feet welcoming the trembling she wolf to a brawl. Hastily, Embry and Quil were at Leah's side dragging her out into the backyard forest.
Turning back to Jacob she demanded, "Answer my questions." Harshly, she fiercely hit him across the face. He was completely unfazed. "That was for staring at me too long and being too slow to answer my question. Now please answer me. Or I'll be forced to torture it out of you."
He stared down again at the woman in front of him before letting out a loud laugh. Filling with rage she slammed the massive wolf onto the ground. He continued to laugh as she hit him across the chest. "This is pathetic. You do realize that I'm stronger than you?" he stated nonchalantly, throwing her over on the ground while hovering above her.
"I beg to differ," she dared. Proving the words she had spoken she managed to get him on his back again, her above him.
"Ya know," he began in a light hearted tone. "I could just bite you again." He smirked up at her, hoping she realized that the comment was playful rather than threatening.
Done with the petty game the fight had turned into she rose from the ground. She stared down at Jacob, something was held in her stare that he couldn't figure out. He silently hopefully thought to himself that she was softening to where she had began to like him.
"Don't think about running outside." Jacob instructed. "There are wolves on patrol and you definitely have set Leah off. Bad move. You don't want her on your bad side."
Grunting, she stormed back to the room she had been held captive in for the last hours. She flung the door shut. Expecting a slam, nothing was heard. Instead the door swung back open, revealing Jacob behind it.
"Alright. What do you want to know?" Jacob asked, expecting her to bombard him with a load of questions. Instead she stayed silent. The seconds lengthened before she spoke again.
"I'm going to shower." She stated, stripping the tank top from her body. "Should I tell your Leah that you're watching me get undressed."
"It's not like that."
"Then what is it. She likes you but you're in love with someone else."
"No. She's my Beta."
"Oh, a silly wolf pack thing." Laughing to herself she turned mumbling something under her breath. Little did she know that Jacob had caught her comment. As she strode to the bathroom, Jacob could see a tattoo that he hadn't noticed from before peaking from her jeans rim of her jeans and running all the way to her right hand.
"Nice tat." he commented before turning to leave the room.
Within a second she is in front of him staring at his eyes, "How can you see it?"
Not knowing how to answer her question he casually backed out of the door way. "Wait, what's your name?" he asked before leaving the room.
"If I tell you, Jacob, will you leave me be?"
"Only for a little while."
"It's Carson."
