WEEE! Chapter 2! Don't worry, things will get interesting soon.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. I hate vampires.
Jacob's POV
My heart pounded in my ears, counting the passage of time. It had been just before noon when I killed Blondie and the freak, now the sun inched westward, hinting at the impending night.
The forest continued flashing by.
Seth and Leah had disbanded as soon as they discovered what happen. Good riddance. The nice thing was that no one was complaining inside my head about how the vamps were going to kill them all. The bad part was how totally alone I felt. But still, I could survive, not have to suffer in silence while the scent of Bella's killer scorched my nostrils and made breathing unbearable.
I was free.
I continued North until nightfall, when I reached the Alaska-Canada border where a spring of cold water gave me a place to rest and think.
My original plan had been to live alone, but now that I was up here, possibly joining a wolf pack was starting to seem like a good idea. After all, the few wolves I had seen last time were pretty big, it was possible I could pass as one.
The thoughts whirled around in my head until I caught the scent.
It smelled like elk and werewolf combined, a curiosity.
I pulled myself to my feet and followed the mouthwatering trail. The mornings cold cereal felt like it had happened a decade earlier.
The trees around my ended and lying in there on the edge of the tundra was a partly eaten elk. The wolf instincts I had lived by the past few months reared up and took control. The small rational part of my brain was unable to project the fact that the owner of the meal must be close by.
I must have cleaned off close to half of the remaining meat when a voice rumbled in my thought, cold and clearly pissed-off.
Get AWAY from my food.
Shock froze me for a moment. The voice was clearly female but the only female werewolf was Leah. And that voice was SO not Leah's.
I pivoted on my haunches, scanning the edge of the woods for the other werewolf.
Show yourself I commanded in my thought.
Silence answered and I wondered for a moment if the other werewolf had left. Then I saw her.
She was huge for a female and big even for a male. Big enough to be Sam's little sister. And I say Sam because like him, her fur was the blackest black. All black but for one white stripe at the end of her muzzle.
The female glared at me, clearly not caring that I was bigger than her. Or that I was an Alpha.
What part of GET AWAY FROM MY FOOD do you not understand nitwit?
Rolling my eyes at her demand I took three steps away from her and the elk towards the open tundra.
What are you doing here skinny?
It wasn't much of an insult but I wanted to pay her back for the nitwit comment. And she really was thin, even compared to Embry who looked like he was constantly on the verge of passing out from lack of food.
She ignored me anyway, being busy ripping away steaming hunks of flesh from the carcass. Then her black eyes turned to me.
I'm surviving, that's what. I was born up here and I've lived up here all my life. As a wolf for the past six years to. I live as a wolf and when a bloodsucker tries to make a meal of someone I get rid of them. What are you up here for anyway?
Now that she had control of the food her tone changed from pissed-off to slightly interested.
My name is Jacob Black, I used to live down in Washington but killed two of a clan of 8 "vegetarian" leeches and decided to scram before the rest of them came after me. There's a pack of 9 other wolves down there to watched the other bloodsuckers anyway.
I take it vegetarian means they drink animal blood, not human.
Yep.
Just wondering, why did you kill the two leeches?
I paused a moment, sick with the memory.
One of them killed a person and the other helped them do it.
She didn't need to know that I had loved Bella, who had pretty much asked to be killed anyway.
By the way, what's your name? Seeing as I'll probably be here a while I don't think you'll like it if I have to call you skinny or girl all the time.
She laughed at that but a moment later she thought back
My name is Arukal. Arukal Tyram. And your welcome to stay up here I guess. But unless your willing to help hunt it down stay away from my food.
Sure, sure, whatever. See ya in the morning I guess.
I left her with the elk and curled up under a tree, watching the rim of the sun disappear behind the horizon, sealing the world in night. Arukal seemed nice enough and I half-wondered what she would do if the leeches came up here after me. As I drifted off to sleep I heard a voice whisper at the edge of my dream.
'Night Black
Well do you like it? I will write no more unless I get at least 1 review per chapter. Is that so much to ask?
