Chapter 2

Author's Note: Thanks all for reviewing! I'm glad you liked it! I am happy to update this! I would like to warn you that I have decided to not include the time Edward spent before he meets Jacob, he is included only from that point and on. Also, I have decided that I will change POV's (which also means change from third to first) from time to time (I'll let you know of course!) and I hope it doesn't make it too distasteful! I will always start in (probably a short introductory) third/normal POV but I will probably then change to Edward then back to Jacob and then end. I hope this all works out! Oh and a POV change will start a few scenes before the last POV ended.

Chapter 1: Meeting The One [Whether He Knows It Or Not]

Normal POV

Jacob ran fast through the woods, hunger overpowering all his senses. The deer wasn't far now, he could smell it. Suddenly an odd smell arose to his right. He ignored it and continued his pursuit of the deer. The thing eventually fell back, turned away even, and ran towards it's probable home. Jacob pushed the thought away, finally reaching, and attacking the deer. 'Poor thing...' Jacob thought before snapping it's neck with his jaws. He tore a chunk of meat from the deer and ate thoughtfully.

Edward's POV

I chased after the large russet wolf as it crossed over into our lands. Suddenly I smelled the 'new' smell that some wolves held. I came to a halt, also smelling the deer ahead. I turned back to the house and ran 'I should tell Carlisle.'

I entered the house within seconds and ran to Carlisle's study. "Carlisle! There is a large russet wolf on our lands!" I said as I entered the room.

"I know son. We have a little agreement with the Quileute clan. Their new pack members, who go through a wolfish week of shifting, are allowed to feed on our lands for awhile. Do not attack him even if he threatens you. Now I want you to go back and hunt. And please, son, try to make sure Jacob finds his way back to his cave. Do not let him know you're there though. He may not be in his right mind." Carlisle said. He then returned to his work, signaling that there was no room for discussion.

Jasper once said that the most important emotion we feel when faced with a problem, is anger, faced towards ourselves. We are angry with ourselves for making a problem arise, but we will usually filter it through someone else. In this case, I blame Carlisle, telling me to basically look after the wolf, where as I could have completely ignored the wolf entirely. I myself am at fault for my own dismay.

As I left the room I opened my mind to hear Carlisle's thoughts. 'I hope Edward realizes what Jacob is to him. I can't see him hurt again.' (A/N: Two things: Edward has the ability to channel the thoughts in my story and Carlisle is referring to when he changed Edward and his family died. He and Edward are the closest in my story.)

I walked slowly as I processed the information. I closed the channel again as I fed from a deer, different than the one Jacob ate, of course. I was confused as to what Carlisle could have meant...

I wiped the excess blood off with the sleeve of my shirt. I turned towards where I first found Jacob. Unable to cross the border, I instead climbed to the top of a tree across from it and stared across. Crunch. Suddenly the branch fell from under me and I fell with a thud. When I am in a panic, I may lose control over the channel, and Jacob's thoughts slipped in.

'I can't wait for today to be over. Thud! What the hell was that?' The large russet wolf rushed over to me as I lay on the floor. 'What is that smell? It almost smells... sweet.' He thought. I stood and brushed myself off.

I sighed. "Hello. My name is Edward Cullen. I can hear your thoughts selectively. You must be Jacob Black. My father, Carlisle Cullen, has asked me to watch over you."

Jacob's POV

'I can't wait for today to be over. Thud! What the hell was that?' I thought. I ran over to a body laying on the ground face down. 'What is that smell? It almost smells... sweet.' I was sure he was dead, but he jumped up as though nothing was wrong.

"Hello. My name is Edward Cullen. I can hear your thoughts selectively. You must be Jacob Black. My father, Carlisle Cullen, has asked me to watch over you." He said. Had I been human I may have blushed. But instead I simply growled.

'My father told me to stay away from your kind. He said you leeches would try to feed on me.' I thought knowing he could hear me. Edward stared at me as if studying me.

"We consider ourselves vegetarian. We do not drink from humans, and you are part of such group, correct?" He said. I nodded slowly. I simply turned and walked towards the cave I will temporarily call home.

As we crossed over the border, I took note of Edward's confused, almost pained expression. 'Edward,' I thought, 'why are you so afraid of me? I do not fear you. I know we are supposed to be great ancestral enemies, but if we are both immortal shouldn't we get along?' Edward sat around the fire pit thoughtfully, where as I sat across from him laying on the cold ground. 'Oh what I wouldn't give to be human right now! My blanket is two meters from me and I can't even get it!' Edward chuckled at my thoughts and I internally smiled.

"Jacob, I don't necessarily fear you so much as fear what you are. I mean, the wolves have been the only thing other than other vampires that can easily kill us. We are vulnerable to you in every way." Edward spoke softly, "I guess you could say that I'm scared. Not of you, but of what you could do to me. I want to trust you Jacob."

I smiled (well on the inside) and nodded. 'I'm going to bed for now, Edward. I hope to see you again tomorrow.' Edward smiled and nodded. He suddenly grabbed the blanket I had mentioned before and laid it over me. I sent a 'thank you' his way before he ran to his home.

Chapter End

Okay so I realize that it isn't much but I have a lot going on in life and I haven't found my Twilight kick yet. [Please someone kick me! Lol jk please don't!] I may have confused people with the whole 'Edward doesn't want to help Jacob but he really wants to trust Jacob?' Well it's kind of an act and it's kind of the truth! You may understand/see more of it later on but I don't really know what I'm even doing with this yet! Aahhh! I would love suggestions! remember this already relies on your support so why not throw a hint hint in those reviews *winkwink* lol anyways hope you guys loved it!

Please review!
