I Didn't Expect This
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or Stephanie Meyer's characters just the plot. This is an idea I have been storing up in my head for the longest time and I have decided to push it out there in the global world and replace my two unfinished stories. Please don't judge. I hope this story is good and I hope lots of you review and tell me if you like it
Previously
Pulling back into my street, I saw my dad's police cruiser in the driveway. I hope he doesn't ask questions about what happened with Jake. I not ready to talk about it yet. And I'm still pissed that guy Paul spoke to me that way when he knows nothing about me.
Chapter Two
Walking in my home I called out to my dad to let him know I was home.
"Bells, how did your talk with Jake go?" Charlie asked me. He was sitting on his favorite lounge chair and was watching some game play on the flat-screen and never looked up from the screen until I said something with an aggravated emotion in my voice.
"Not so great, but dad I'm not ready to talk about it yet, I'm just gonna go straight to bed, night." I told him quietly. I did feel quite exhausted, but I was still riled up from the events that just happened moments ago.
"Alright, night Bells." Charlie calls up to me as climb the stairs up to my room two at a time and I shut the door quite loudly. Sighing, I lean against the door and breathe for a moment. I don't want Charlie worrying about me but I know he will. I was supposed to work things out with Jacob, but nothing went right.
I know that since Jake started ignoring my calls I have been having nightmares again, but they weren't the same as before. Now Jake is involved and when I'm running through the woods, I feel like I'm running after something.
I think I was running after Edward, but when I trip and fall from a tree root, I look around me and scream, I see a huge wolf looking at me with its teeth baring mincingly and when Jake starts running towards me, he never makes it in time, the wolf jumped up and landed right on top of Jake, knocking him into the ground. The growling and screaming sounded so piercingly real I woke up screaming and crying.
These dreams have been waking me up at night and keeping Charlie up when he needs his sleep for work in the morning. I see the effects of his nights rest on his face every day. Purple bruises under his eyes and weight loss. It's my fault and I wish I tried harder at keeping my best friend with me. Maybe these nightmares will go away again.
Walking to my dresser I pulled out a set of cloths to change into for sleep wear and striped out of my damp cloths I wore today. Sighing at the warmth of my new dry cloths, I climbed into bed and stared up at my ceiling.
Replaying the events that happened today in my head, I kept thinking about Paul. Paul is an ass. But oh lordy was he sexy. He has those dark eyes. If I was to look at him longer today, I swear I would have a melted brain and oogled him if I wasn't so furious. His black hair was cut short and some of it hung in his eyes that you just wanted to run through your hands. His chin was narrow with a strong jaw showing off small ears, I could still vividly see his muscles on his tall frame. He was probably 6'7 with a nice eight pack. Realizing I was having a fantasy about Paul, I shook my head and sighed.
I wish I could feel this way with Jacob. His gorgeous to look at as well and I know how he feels for me. I can't help but wonder why he was running a high temperature. And why can't he be my friend anymore? Sam said something about higher authority, he must mean the elders of their tribe but what does the tribe want with a group of boys and my Jacob?
Tap, tap, tap
Looking at my window in horror I can't help but think it must be Laurent or Victoria coming for me but if they wanted to kill me they wouldn't do it by tapping on my window. Rising up slowly from my bed I walk over to my window and see Jake perched on my tree waiting. I open my window and demand "What the hell do you want Black?"
"Bella wait, I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said earlier, it's just I didn't want you getting hurt being around me. I'm no good anymore Bella. Please understand." He begged, sitting down on my bed. After some thought, I walked over to him and gripped his hair with my hands.
"How can I understand Jake? you won't tell me anything. What did they do to you Jake?" I asked him. He stared up at me, opening and closing his mouth before opening again.
"Do you remember when we first met on the beach after you moved back here last summer?" I nodded, waiting patiently for him to try to get out what he was trying to say. "When we walked down the beach I told you those leg-"he stopped, something obviously stopped him from continuing. His face was beginning to look strained.
"Those legends you told me about the cold ones and…..the wolves?" I said incredulously.
Oh my god, is he trying to tell me that all creatures of the night are real?
"Jake are you trying to tell me that you're a… you're a…..a wolf?" I stutter out. He must be saying he is a werewolf, I mean so far the legend about the cold ones are true, there vampires. And of course the Cullen's are vampires. So the Quileute boys must be the native spirits that turn into wolves.
He nods his head slowly. I feel sick, like I need to be sitting down before I lose all consciousness, so I sit on my bed and look at him. His face is smooth of showing any emotion and he gets up. "I need to go Bells, I have to get back but please think on it tonight and come to the house later ok? I really did miss you." He started walking to the window when he heard me get up off the bed and go toward him. I grab his arm and pull him into a hug, he gives me one of his bear hugs before he releases me and he whispers night Bells.
"Night Jake"
…
Waking up that morning after what I remember from my talk with Jake, I'm just grateful I have my best friend back. Rolling over and looking at the clock it read 8:40 in blaring red numbers. Groaning I decided to get up and get ready for the day, I was planning on heading to Jakes house later today but since it's still so early, I was gonna clean up a little.
Grabbing a pair of washed out jeans and green button up t-shirt from my closet I looked in my top drawer and pick out a random pair of underwear and bra and headed to the bathroom to take a hot shower. Only taking thirty minutes in the shower, I smelled like a fresh crisp apple. Drying my body with a white fluffy towel, I quickly dressed and brushed my drying hair. I left it down to dry naturally into wavy curls.
Walking into the kitchen, I grab me a bowl and cereal to have for breakfast. Trying to pass the time, I eat slowly but it doesn't stop me from thinking. Is Jake one of the wolves I saw out in the woods the day I went looking for my meadow? Did they catch Laurent? Probably not because vampires are so fast! Did Jake ever kill anyone? Did his friends? I've heard about those murders from Charlie a couple weeks ago. I hope he didn't, I don't know if I can handle that if he was responsible. And Laurent, those wolves chased him through the woods, what if he got back to Victoria and told her I was alone now. Oh no, Charlie. He'll be hurt if I stay and Victoria comes for me, she won't stop until I'm dead.
Losing my appetite, I dump the rest of my cereal in the sink and rinse my bowl out before putting it away.
Needing to busy my mind, I fix myself with doing a load of laundry and wiping down the counters in the kitchen and mop the floors. On my last load of laundry, I set the timer on the dryer and take out the trash. Looking back at the clock, I notice its half past twelve. It's good of a time now as any to start heading to Jakes.
Finding a pair of sandals under my bed and one in my closet I put them on and grab my keys from the counter. Leaving a note for Charlie to let him know I'm at Jakes, I leave the house.
…
Pulling into the driveway of Jakes house, I killed the engine and jumped out of my truck, today was a nice day and walking the beach seemed like a good place to talk. The sun was actually out and I wish I brought my bathing suit with me; swimming is a rare occurrence with how much it rains here.
"BELLS" Jake boasts as he runs out of his house, "you made it, I didn't think you would show."
"Well of course I came, Jake I have so many questions I need to ask you. Can we talk somewhere? The day is wonderful and I don't want to waste it, so can we walk to first beach?" I ask him. It's also the place he told me about the legends the first time.
"Sure, come on bells what do you wanna know?" he started walking to first beach and when I finally open my mouth to ask the first question, we're half way there.
"Being a wolf, Jake can you stop being one and not kill people?" I ask bluntly.
"What are you talking about Bella? I've never hurt anybody. And I can't just stop being a wolf either I can't just make it go away."
"Then why are there such high numbers of murders in Port Angeles? If you're not doing this, then who is?" I demand.
"Look Bells, I'm not the monster doing all of that, it's a leech that comes through here trying to break through the boarders. We've been running the bitch out but she keeps coming back. It's like she's trying to find something." He grabs my hand and we walk along the beach for a while.
"So you're not killing people?" I ask him.
"No, I'm a protector; it's why my legends of spirit turn me into a wolf to protect my land from vampires."
"OH…so in the meadow, that was you that paused by me right, the russet brown wolf? It reminded me of you by the color of your eyes" I looked down blushing. He laughed at me saying "Yea that was me"
"And then you went after Laurent, but you could have been killed Jake, you don't realize how powerful or strong they can be." I looked up at him then, to make him realize how serious I was trying to be. But he just laughs.
"Ah Bells, the dreadlocks leech? That leech was nuthin, we caught him in seconds. It was so easy; I mean what do you think I'm here for? My teeth tore him apart like paper and my speed is so much faster. It was over quicker than I would have liked but the smell would make me wanna gag." As if remembering it, his face scrunched up and he crinkled his nose as if he smelled something awful. Laughing at his face, he laughed with me.
"So is there anything els-" looking behind us we hear a few shouts.
"It's just the pack" Jake tells me.
"Oh" was my smart reply. Well great. Watching the rest of the guys walk up to us, I can't help but look. Sam was the tallest but not the biggest, I could tell he stressed a lot with the lines around his eyes, it made him seem older. Embry was just under Paul's height and he too wasn't very big either, he was leaner and I could see the laugh with his eyes cast down. The other guy I saw yesterday wasn't here but I guess he must be busy.
"Hey guys" Jake says to them when they get close enough. They just nod to us.
""Bella, can I talk to you?" Paul asks me
please don't get mad at me, I hope it starts getting more interesting in the next chapter :)hope you like and please review
