Chapter .2. - Visiting an old Friend. And meeting a new Enemy
Today was like any other day, the sun was blocked out by the grey clouds that covered the sky, releasing small amounts of water whenever they saw fit, I had left to go to La push in the clothes I was wearing, except with the addition of a rain coat, but I soon regretted not changes, my legs felt frozen and the skin turned pink from the cold that was reaching my skin threw the holes in my knees, but luckily the cab of my truck was warm and got even warmer after I turned on the heater.
I had left a note for Charlie on the kitchen table stating that I would be down in La push if he needed anything and that he should come down after work, Billy would probably love to see him, and I didn't really want to be driving at night alone, it had been raining more than usual and I didn't like taking those sharp turns with the thought that if I crashed no one would be around to help.
The drive to La push was slow, rainy, but quiet, which meant I had a lot of time to sit in my thoughts which was not something that I really wanted to do, I kept imagining Edward getting hurt or killed while fighting a group of red-eyes ravenous vampires, my angel please be safe.
By the time I reached Jacob Blacks house the rain had died down to a slight drizzle and Jacob was waiting on his small porch umbrella in hand, which I found very humorous because the song playing on my radio at the moment was 'Umbrella by Rihanna.'
I couldn't help but giggle some. Before I even turned the car off and open my door Jake was standing at my side of the car holding the umbrella over the door so that I didn't get wet as I stepped into the cold.
I felt a chill go up my spine but tried to ignore it, it was my fault I should have been dressed better, but my mind was so filled with Edward that it didn't even register to me that the holes in my pants could be a problem.
"What are you wearing? You know Bella with pants like that you could lose your legs to frost bite" Jake laughed when he took in my apparel, I felt my cheeks flush a bright pink and I slammed the door to my truck closed
"I kinda forgot what I was wearing until after I left the house" I mumbled under my breath but was sure that he heard me when he broke out in a fit of laughter, I wasn't about to tell him it was because I couldn't get Edward out of my head.
"Well come on, lets get you in the house before you freeze"
Jacob made me lead the way into the house so that he could hold the umbrella over me head until I was under the safety of the roof.
"So what should we do?" I asked curiously as I plopped down on one of the couches
"..wait... where's Billy?" This was odd indeed, usually Billy was either in the living room or he would come rolling out of his bedroom when I would come in the house so that he could great me, I really didn't think that he would be off fishing or anything in this weather.
"He's over at Sam's place, there talking about the... well just stuff" Jake turned around to walk into the kitchen but I had caught the fact that he changed his sentence, it was actually very obvious he wasn't very good at hiding things let alone changing his conversation midstream
"Jacob Black what is going on? You tell me this instant" whatever it was it was something he didn't want to tell me, which could only mean bad new
"Well... as I recall you said earlier that, and I quote "had a sadistic being hunting me with the intention to kill in what... months now?" And well... I just want to keep it that way" Jake had a guilty look on his face but tried to hide it by looking at his feet.
At first I was completely lost, yeah I said that so what? And what does he mean by "I just want to keep it that way" it took me a few seconds before the lightbulb flickered on
"Oh my ... are you telling me there's a Vampire roaming around Forks?!" I swear I was speaking so fast that no one could understand me unless they had vampire hearing, but Jake understood what I said, he nodded and then looked up at me, our eyes met and I felt a surge of sadness, sadness that he thought he had to hide this information from me, anger for the fact that he did try and hide it, and fear that those around me would get hurt if this new comer decided to go after me, which with my luck they probably would
"How many?" I could barley talk, my words came out in a whisper
"One that we know of, but don't worry Bella we will take care of him, I wont let him hurt you or anyone else that you care about" Jacob stood straighter and his eyes bore into mine, he sounded defensive but also like he was trying to convince me, any other time I would have argued for him to stay away from this new comer so that he wouldn't get hurt, but right now I just couldn't think strait.
First Edward and the rest of my family, the Cullens leave for who knows how long, second there's a crazy vampire on the loose in Forks, and third with all of my bad luck the people I care about will once again be in danger, no they are in danger, even if this new comer doesn't come after me, he might hurt someone I care about.
"Has Charlie told you anything about the disappearances?" Jake walked over and sat next to me on the couch, watching me intently probably trying to read my reactions to know how I was feeling
"Not particularly, he's mentioned that people have been disappearing lately and said that I should stay away from the forest, most of the missing people were either hiking or camping" the words came slowly and even I listened intently to what I was saying, maybe I had known all along what was going on yet had no idea, is that even possible?
"But wait, if there was a new vampire around, wouldn't Edward have known, not only by the smell but Alice would have seen them, this makes no sense"
"I don't know, but that's why I suggested you stay here, I don't want to leave you alone in case this new leach decides you smell appetizing" Jacob nearly spat at the thought of this vampire wanting to drink my blood, which sent a shiver down my spine
"I cant believe this is happening I ..." Before I could finish the front door swung open, nearly flying off its hinges, a tall man flew into the room, he was soaking wet and wearing nothing except a pair of old cut off jeans, after a moment I recognized his face, it was Embry.
Jacob jumped to his feet and let out a growl before recognizing who it was "Embry what's going on? Why did you just barge into my house!?" Jake seemed to calm down some until he saw the look in his friends eyes "He's coming this way, he's hunting, we think he got a whiff of Bella he's coming for her, the damned leach isn't even fighting, he's just running past us, were going to try and block him off but Sam thinks you should move Bella, she's not safe here" Emby talked quick but I caught every word.
Me... he's after me, my mind repeated over and over, I could feel all the blood leave my face and I stared at the two werewolves in front of me, Embry looked scared, and angry but neither were at me, but Jake's face was covered with a fierce hate at this vampire, and a look of 'I knew this would happen'
"Damn, how close is he?" Jake asked harshly grabbing my arm and lifting me from my seat until I was on my feet, but even then I couldn't move, my body was frozen
"Why is it always me?" my voice came out without my command, at first I didn't even know it was me that spoke until I felt Jacob put both hands on the sides of my face and held me still, looking into his eyes
"I don't know, but don't worry Bella, I wont let anything happen to you ok" I was barley able to nod but I did so, Jacob grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the house, nearly dragging me behind him.

I had my eyes closed tightly and held onto Jacob Blacks back even tighter, I couldn't believe it, not only was I being hunted by a vampire but now I was riding on the back of a werewolf going at least 70 mph threw the forest, as if I didn't hate being on Edwards back when he ran at least with him I felt more safe, with Jake it was like sitting on a horse's back with no saddle or reigns to hold onto. I gripped Jake's fur tightly in my fingers and felt my hands start to go numb, my hair whipped around behind me, and I could feel the cold air like needles pricking at any part of me that wasn't covered, which mean me knees were open targets to the pain, and there was pain. my legs ached severely and I just knew I wouldn't be able to put any pressure on my knees for at least a week.
