"Jacob…Jacob!" hissed Billy.
I jumped to my feet and immediately stood guard.
I looked around my room and then spotted Billy.
"Oh." I said and rubbed my eyes while yawning.
"I'm sorry to wake you." he said.
I shook my head, "No…its fine."
He sighed and frowned. I knew that look.
"Patrolling?" I asked.
"I don't see why you still have to, I mean, you just recovered from your injuries, and besides, that Vicky person is dead now." he said.
"Victoria." I corrected.
"Yeah, whatever." he said flapping his hand like it was an ancient story.
"Well, we are called the protectors, we don't take time off because one vampire is down. There could always be more." I said walking over to my drawer to get some pants.
"You're just interfering with your sleep because of this. I mean, I would have never done this." he said pointing to himself.
"Just let me do my job, I need the run anyway." I said tying the pants around my thigh .
He sighed and shook his head, "You never give up."
"I believe I never give in." I said raising my eye brow at him.
"What? You think I'm trying to stop you from this?"
"Your talking me into it." I said.
"I'm just discussing your health." Billy said smiling.
"You know, you talking about health was something I thought I'd never hear in about a million years." I paused and looked at him, "What are you doing up anyway?"
He shook his head, "Oh, I couldn't sleep."
"Uh huh." I said sarcastically.
"Really I couldn't, the storm has kept me up all night." he said gesturing to the window.
I heard a loud crack and boom from the thunder. What a wonderful day to go patrolling. Yeah right.
"I guess I don't need to take a shower then. Just being outside could drowned me." I said looking out the window.
"Yeah, I guess so." he said chuckling to himself.
We stood there for a moment looking out the window. I wondered what he was thinking about.
Probably wondering if I was okay now. Bella's wedding is soon and he is debating on whether or not he should go. But then again, he isn't a huge fan of the Cullen's. Except for Carlisle and Esme. Ever since the war we had against Victoria and my injuries, he blessed them for taking care of me. Esme always came over to cook for him since I couldn't, even though he claims he could cook just fine. I thought it was odd that Esme was allowed in here, but then it got even more odd when she could cook. Weird.
Billy sighed, "Well, you better go now. Sam's probably waiting."
I grinned at him and leaned down to give him a hug, "I'll be back."
"I know." Billy said letting go.
He wheeled me to the door like I was leaving for school and watched as I took off.
I finally reached the woods when I blew into werewolf form. Since I was running fast the rain hit me like knives.
I looked up at the sky, it couldn't be no more than 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning.
I sighed which sounded more like a pant since I was running and moved along.
I reached the house and slowed my pace when I saw Sam at the porch in wolf form.
I strutted over there to him till I was in front of his face.
Where's Emily? I asked/thought.
I didn't want to wake her. She needs her rest. he answered.
Usually Emily was outside with him before he went patrolling to say goodbye. She'd always stroke his satin fur and watch as I came up to them with a frown. Puppy love.
She will be upset you know. I said.
She cant always say goodbye at 2:00. She would be exhausted. he said.
So it's 2:00? I was close.
Whatever man, but if she come out with a news paper rolled up…not my fault! I said.
Last time he didn't wake her, we came back home to her with a rolled up news paper. She wacked us like she would to a real dog being disciplined. Oh the irony.
I'll keep that in mind. he said looking at they're window.
I looked around, Is anyone else joining?
He looked back at me, Quil and Seth.
QUIL?! I whined.
What's wrong with him? he asked. I imagined him with his eyebrow raised.
He's new you know. He stumbles over his own two paws every time we take off.
I believe Seth is too. Now just deal with it Jacob. He will learn one of these days. Sam said sternly.
Just then, Seth and Quil popped out.
I'm here, don't kill yourself Jacob. Quil said.
Don't be too flattered. I said.
Oh my god! I'm younger than both of you and I don't argue this much. Seth said.
Don't think you wont, shrimp. Quil said.
Seth stepped closer to him a growled.
Oh, is the big bad wolf gonna eat me? Quil said in a small voice.
Knock it off guys. We have to go. Sam said no doubt thinking about Emily and a news paper.
Why are we patrolling now? I mean, its like 2:00 in the morning. Quil whined.
Because our guests are meeting us at the line. Sam said.
So…what does patrolling have to do with it? Seth asked.
We are patrolling the line. While we wait for our guests we will keep guard for any interruptions. he stated.
Everyone looked at each other and ever so slightly tried to shrug.
Wait, guests? I didn't know we were having guests. Quil said.
He wasn't here yesterday. I told Sam when he looked at me confused.
He sighed mentally, A new cult wants to join and we agreed. We discussed this yesterday but obviously you weren't there.
Cool, how many? he asked.
Two. They are twin brother and sister. Sam answered.
Seth was whining a switching from one paw to the other.
They're new? Quil said evilly.
Yes. Sam said curiously.
Seth let out a little whine and shuffled some more.
Quil mentally laughed with pure evil. Probably planning something on the new members.
Seth? You okay? I asked looking at him.
Everyone looked at him. He looked like he couldn't sit down and kept on bouncing.
No, guys. I uh…didn't get to use the bathroom before I came. he said.
Quil made a disgusted sound and Sam rolled his eyes.
Just uh…go behind the bush. Sam said.
THANK YOU! he breathed in delight. He took off and ran behind a bush and used the bathroom.
HALELUJAH! he screamed mentally.
Sam looked at everyone, Anyone else?
Me and Quil shook our heads and Sam sighed.
Seth pounced back with delight of accomplishment, All done.
OH MY GOD SETH! I need air! I cant breath! he said sniffing the air.
Sam hid his nose under his paw and I tried to hold my breath.
What?! I didn't say it was going to smell like fresh cut flowers! Seth said.
Okay guys, lets just go okay? Sam said mentally.
We all nodded and took off into the woods. We ran as fast as we could towards the line. It was very familiar to me now.
I looked at Sam and he looked at me. He studied my face for awhile to see if I was all better. I looked away.
Quil was singing mentally in his head about a caterpillar that ate a cow.Seth was trying to dodge all of trees and bushes.
Suddenly, Oofth! Quil ran into a tree.
We all stopped and watched him get back up. I looked at Seth who was shaking. Then broke out into laughter. He rolled around the ground with laughter. I looked at Sam who snickered mentally.
Shut up Quil said hitting Seth with his paw.
Hey! There's a tree there! Seth said laughing again.
Quil rolled his eyes and growled. He mentally called him immature.
You alright? Sam asked.
Quil nodded, I'm fine. he hissed at Seth.
Hey Quil, don't you know that only cats can climb trees? he broke off laughing again.
Quil growled and pounced on him.
I stamped my foot, ENOUGH!
Quil jumped off of Seth and backed down.
Sam looked at me with shocked eyes. I gave him no emotion and started walking.
I heard them follow me, so raced off. We were running for awhile.
Watch out Quil! There's another tree! Seth said.
Quil growled at him.
Seth kept on laughing till, Oofth! he ran into a bush.
Quil stopped in his tracks and doubled over laughing.
I yet again stopped and watched them go through the same process.
I heard movement in the bushes and stopped cold.
I let out a low growl of warning and looked at Sam. He heard it too. I started walking around our area, guarding.
Sam watched over Quil and Seth. I went into the woods and listened some more. The crickets were making that awful sound I hate, and the rain bolted downwards on me. I scanned the area. Then, I heard it again.
I let out a growl loud enough for them to run away. The rain distracted me from hearing it. I snarled in fury.
Then, I heard footsteps. I crouched down in a pouncing position, when suddenly.
"Knock it off Jake, its just us." Leah said.
I relaxed from my position and looked at them. Yes them, not her.
Jared, Paul, Leah, and Embry were walking towards me.
"You didn't think you would make us stay home while you patrol did you?" Embry asked.
Sam's orders I thought.
"Sam spam, were patrolling too." Jared said.
"Besides, after hearing Quil sing for so long I couldn't sleep!" Leah said.
"Yeah, that and Seth laughing. Lord have mercy!" Embry said.
They suddenly blew into form without warning and walked up to me.
Now, were to? Leah said.
I looked at all of their faces, and then turned. They followed me back to Seth, Quil, and Sam.
Sam looked away from Quil and Seth and at me, then behind me.
What are you guys doing here? Sam asked.
We have a right to be here. Its not like we are useless. Paul said.
It's not your time. Sam said.
Why not? Leah said.
Well…because, its just suppose to be us. Seth said.
Zip it lunch meat. Paul growled. An what do you know? He did.
We are a cult Sam. she whispered.
They stared at each other for awhile, but blocked they're thoughts.
Quil cleared his throat, I say they join.
Agreed I said.
Sam looked away from her and at me. He nodded and the rest of the cult joined.
I sighed and once again took off.
Oh no Seth! A bush! he said and started laughing.
Why don't you go make out with that two year old? Seth shot back.
Quil stepped down.
There was a chorus of the cult saying burn and such.
