Thankyou for the reviews! Hopefully I'll get more as the story progresses!
Chapter Two:
JPOV
"Whoa, what do we have here?" Embry asked as I walked into my house with Bella in my arms "I didn't think you were the type to bring home dead hookers."
"She's not a hooker." I snapped "She's…an old acquaintance, now be useful and go get some towels while I bring her to my room."
"Towels?" Embry asked a bit dazed as his hungry eye's scanned her soaked form.
"Now Embry!" I ordered in my alpha tone and he obeyed instantly, my inner wolf was growling when he looked at her like that. I ignored him and headed to my room. When Embry came in with several towels I laid one on my bed and set Bella down on one. I would have to get her out of those clothes, glancing over at Embry as I waited for him to leave.
"What?" He asked innocently "I can't stay?"
"Leave." I said firmly "Now."
Reluctantly Embry left, not without getting a last look at Bella. I let out a low growl as he laughed his way out of the room. Turning back to Bella I brushed her hair out of her face gently and gasped, her skin was a little cooler than mine which meant she already had a fever. As a kid she was always one to get sick quickly, why had I let her wander around as long as I had. Quickly I started to undress her, I took off her sandals with ease but when it came to her dress I faltered slightly. I lost all concentration as I took both straps off her shoulders. Granted she still had her bra on, but my wolf howled in want for her. The first time this had happened was when she was extremely pissed of and stalked towards me.
My wolf was aroused when she looked at me like that, that steady glare made both of us excited. I guess it was because I was the alpha and no one dared to look at me like that. He wanted a strong female and Bella was his number one choice. However Bella was not my imprint, and I didn't want to end up in the same situation Sam had gotten himself into with Leah. Granted he didn't know about imprints when him and Leah started seeing each other, but if he did I'd bet that he wouldn't want to risk her happiness. I had first phased days before Bella came up, and I had to avoid her at all costs. I couldn't risk seeing her in the state I was in, once everything was explained to me I couldn't have seen her even if I wanted to.
My father knew of the close relationship we had together and forbade me from seeing her, knowing all to well we would become close once more. I was furious at first but the tribe came first and I realized I could not share the secret to anybody. I became the alpha as soon as I had killed a leader of a small clan of vampires that had been terrorizing and killing people around the area. The other two escaped and haven't been since, but we patrol and watch every night.
I had only been cruel to this girl in my arms because it was the only thing I could do from not becoming friends with her again. Taking a deep breath I tore off her dress quickly and tried not to gaze at her half naked form. I then dried Bella off as best as I could and put one of my large T-shirts on her. It covered her completely and I made sure to take off her bra and lacy underwear as well since they were completely soaked. Also I put on a pair of my old sweatpants which I tied securely around her waist so she wouldn't feel that uncomfortable waking up. She was still going to be pissed when she woke up, but I was ready for her fury. Tucking Bella into my bed snuggly I gathered up her wet clothes and made my way to my laundry room. After throwing her stuff in the dryer I got a face cloth and a bowl of cold water and tried to bring Bella's temperature down.
"How is she?" A voice said from the doorway.
I jumped slightly at the unexpected voice, which was odd since no one could ever sneak up on me. I glanced over at Sam, who also had a surprised look in his eye's, but said nothing on it. I looked back to Bella and felt her cheeks, they seemed cooler, almost at regular temperature. Hopefully she'd be better by tomorrow so she could get out before the storm hit full force, god only knows how bad it would be if she were to stay in the same house as me for to long.
"Better." I replied.
I knew Embry had already phased and gone on shift, otherwise Sam wouldn't have known Bella was here. I sighed as I realized I need to relieve Sam and go on my night shift. I got up and glanced down at Bella, anxiety started to trickle into my chest and Sam sensed this.
"Don't worry, I'll have Seth come here and watch over her." Sam said, knowing Seth was the least likeliest one to try and get with Bella, due to the fact that he had a gentleman streak in him. Besides he was Bella's age so it wouldn't be to awkward if she were to wake up. Nodding my head as I walked by Sam I headed out of my house into the pouring rain. I stripped on the back porch and stuffed my clothes in a cubby., before running into the forest and phasing. I had to patrol for the next several hours in the violent rain, this was going to be fun.
BPOV
I woke up feeling extremely disoriented as I tried to recall what happened the last time I was conscious. I opened my eye's slowly and blinked a few times before I could make out my dark surroundings. The room looked familiar from where I was laying, then after a few moments it dawned on me. I was in Jacob's room, in his bed, because I had passed
out as he was carrying me. I shot up in surprise, which wasn't a good thing to do. I automatically felt dizzy and I could feel the vomit rising in my throat. Quickly I stumbled out of bed and bolted out the door, hoping the bathroom would still be in the same place.
Luckily it was and I made it just in time for my stomach to empty into the bowl. After I was sure that I wouldn't vomit anymore I flushed and stumbled to the sink. I looked like crap, my hair was matted to my head in sweat and my skin was paler than normal. I looked in the medicine cabinet for a thermometer and found it neatly in it's case. I popped it in my mouth and waited impatiently for it to beep. Once it did I looked down and gasped, I had a 102.2 temperature.
Glancing at the shower longingly I made my way over to it and turned on the water, I'm sure Billy wouldn't mind if I took a might, but again I didn't care what he thought. Glancing down at my clothes for the first time I noticed that they weren't my clothes. My heart stopped as I realized I had absolutely none of my clothes on, including my underwear and bra. My face heated up tremendously at the thought of Jake changing me, there was absolutely no way I was going to face him after this.
"What the fuck man." I muttered as I ripped off his clothes and stepped in the shower. The warmth cleared my Nose and throat which felt amazing, but I knew once I got out it would end. After washing my hair I turned off the water and leaned my head against the wall. I didn't feel like moving, I felt like an invisible force was pressing down on me. However I started to get cold so I got out slowly and started looking for a towel. I looked everywhere in the small bathroom yet there was none to be found.
"Just my luck." I said and shook my head. I glanced on the ground and saw his huge T-shirt that suddenly grew of use to me again. I started to dry myself with it and wrapped it around me tightly like a towel. It covered me, just barely though and then I tentatively stepped out of the door. I didn't see anyone as I ran to the bathroom, though I hadn't been really of my surroundings either. I saw the living room light on and the tv, though no one was there. Walking a bit further I poked my head in the kitchen and saw Jake bent over in the fridge.
My face burned and the heat spread down to my chest. I was just about to walk away when he got up and looked over at me. I then realized it wasn't Jake, but one of his friends that was just a bit smaller than him but still consider huge compared to me. I saw the guys eye's go wide and mouth drop slightly. I blushed deeper, if that was possible, and gave a shy smile.
"Uhm, hi." I began "Do you know where Jake put my clothes..?"
The guy collected himself and offered me a sheepish smile. "Yeah, there over here." He said and walked past me over to the couch. He handed me my clothes and some others. "Those are my sister's, I didn't think you'd want to wear a dress since it's rainy and cold. Besides your sick so I didn't want you to like throw up on your dress or whatever..."
"Well thank you." I said unable to hold my smile. Quickly I went back to the bathroom and changed into my undergarments and clothes the guy brought me. The clothes were a bit snug, but the black pants and long sleeved shirt was made out of stretchy material. I went back into the living room to see the guy watching the weather channel. I walked over to the couch and sat down next to him.
"Hey!" He smiled brightly "How are you feeling? I heard you run to the bathroom before, and it didn't sound to good."
I shrugged "102 temperature, nothing new, I tend to get sick a lot." I replied then paused "And do I know you? Not to sound rude, but you seem really familiar."
"Ah yeah, 102's not that bad." He laughed, "and yeah! You do! I'm sorry I didn't tell you my name before, it slipped my mind. I'm Seth, Seth Clearwater, Leah's my sister."
"I knew it!" I exclaimed brightly "Wow, you've changed a lot. Do all of you go through extreme growth spurts?"
"Actually we do," Seth smiled "and you've gotten much bigger to. I mean-well,uhm, not in that way. You know what I mean."
I laughed at Seth's stumbling of words and noticed the slight pink in his cheeks. Seth distracted himself with the news and I sat back into the couch and studied his features. He had the same tan skin and jet black hair of Jake's but his features were much softer. Jake was rugged and 100% man, Seth was my age and still had a little of his boyish face left. But Seth was just as handsome as Jacob.
I froze when I thought that, had I just called Jacob handsome? Well obviously he was, but I didn't want to think of Jacob like that right now. I just broke up with my boyfriend and Jacob was being an extreme dick. Sighing I realized I still wasn't feeling to hot, a wave of exhaustion washed over me and I whimpered slightly. Seth noticed this right away and his attentive eye's fell on me.
"Could you help me to the bed?" I asked weakly "I honestly don't think I'll make it."
"Yes, definitely." Seth replied and stood up, hold out his hand.
I took it gladly and was a bit surprised at how warm he was. I had a temperature and he was still much hotter than me, however a lot of guys were warm like that. Brushing it off I stood up and almost fell if Seth hadn't wrapped his arm around my waist. This felt weird, no one had been this close to me besides Mike, but it was a good kind of weird. We started walking slowly to the room and I liked how he was patient with me, if it was Jake he would have probably thrown me over his shoulder. Seth gently helped me into bed and I smiled warmly up at him.
"Thankyou so much," I whispered tiredly.
"Anytime Bella." He replied with his same caring smile "I'll be in the living room, if you need me just call my name and I'll be right over."
I nodded my hair sleepily and closed my eye's seconds later, soon going into a dreamless slumber once more.
That's it! Sorry it was kinda short !:( they will get longer as the story progresses! let's try to get two reviews!:) thankyou!
