CHAPTER TWO:
Beyond Reality
[Jacob Black's point of view.]
...
"Hey man, did you hear?"
I rolled out from under my car and removed my goggles from my eyes. I refrained from an eyeroll towards Seth Clearwater and shook my head. I rubbed my eyes, tired of his voice constantly in my ear.
"No, what?" I asked.
A hint of sparkle fell over his eyes as he leaned against the car seat and stuck his head out. His sandy colored hair fell over his dark brown eyes as he built up suspense. I sat up and leaned against the side of my car, now interested in his topic.
"Peter is gonna get some tonight."
It took a while for the words to process in my mind. Peter Holmes; jock of La Push Highschool, boyfriend to Analisse Ambros. It triggered something in my mind, something different.
"With Analisse?" I asked, now with concern, "As in my neighbor Ana?"
Seth nodded, his eyes now dull with a hint of worry in them. I looked straight forward, my eyes falling over the tree's that rested outside of my garage. The light was dim outside, and had its usual foggy dark atmosphere. I tried to imagine Analisse's body under his large body. I tried to imagine the love the two had wherever they were, but I couldn't. All I felt was the pain her body might be going through. All I saw was her golden blue eyes turning that dark blue pained color. I cringed at the thought, but shook it off. It was none of my business.
"I hope their having fun," was all I could mumble.
"I heard their going to the forest for the whole," Seth tried to find the right word, "Action."
"The forest?" I felt my blood boil, "They could be crossing the line!"
"Well of course, their going to have sex--."
"No Seth," I growled, "The line seperating wolfs from vampires. That line."
"The Cullens would never..."
Seth let his voice fade.
"She's a virgin Seth," I tried to explain, "When your a virgin you...for girls its--its different. Theres blood involved."
"God okay!" Seth covered his ears, "I learned this in Sex Ed okay? I don't need to hear it coming from you."
I stood up now, smoothing my grease stained t-shirt over my torso. He stood as well, taking off his shirt--so ready to transform.
"Let's just go and make sure the line is cleared," I said, "No need to transform until we see any danger."
"And if there is?"
"We protect Analisse."
I ran a hand through my dark hair and shook it out. I felt it stop at the nape of my neck, tickling it as I moved. I smiled a little bit, knowing that I had finally settled with a hair length; I've gone from long, to short, to medium. I turned over to Seth, seeing him unbutton his shirt. I shook my head; he was so ready to fight so right to go out there and give it all his got. I admired his naivety. He reminded me so much of me--younger and walking in the same steps as I did.
"You don't need to get ready," I said, "We just need to make sure the line is clear and make sure no one crosses it or anything."
"Just in case," he shrugged, ignoring me, "I don't want to ruin the shirt; Leah gave it to me for my birthday. She'll be pissed."
I thought of his older sister and her wrath. I imagined her long running angry sentences toward Seth. I chuckled at the thought, knowing they would transform into werewolfs and fight it out then.
"Hey Jacob?"
I nodded as I closed the garage door, "Yeah?"
"I know we're supposed to make sure La Push is safe and everything but," he paused.
"Go on."
"If it were someone else, you would've let the others take it," he said, "You would've let Sam or Quil or--."
"I get it, Seth, get on to your point," I said, a bit annoyed now.
"Do you care about Ana?"
I stood still. "Of course I do."
"More than you should?" He asked.
"It doesn't matter," I shook my head.
In the corner of my eye, I noticed his mouth open than close. We moved quickly over to the path to the forest, silent as usual. It was comfortable for me, and it made it more easier to sort my thoughts. No doubt, Seth had a problem with it. He was the only one in the pack that liked we had little privacy. The constant thought connection brought me over the edge; I tried to say human as much as possible to keep my thoughts to myself.
It wasn't easy at first. I was born a protector. I was born to defend my land, and help those in need. I didn't have a chance to tell destiny; "No I don't want to be a werewolf." It was inevitable. It was in my blood.
"I spoke to Edward and Bella yesterday," Seth stated as we made our way into the forest.
Bella. I sighed. That name would always have an affect on me. She was the first one I was to protect. But she was in the hands of him, a vampire. Edward Culeen was her protector now; I was just her friend. I breathed in and shook the thoughts away. I didn't think much of her as much as I used too; and I figure its a good thing. I tried to keep it that way, knowing everything would be easier not loving her--or anyone for that matter.
"I was talking to him about...well you."
I stayed quiet, letting him go on. "You know how they say history repeats itself? I think its repeating for you."
"I don't get it."
"The history between you and Bella, I think its happening for you and Ana."
"No." I shook my head, "You're wrong."
There was an edge to my voice, but I didn't care. No, I would never let myself get that close to Analisse as I did to Bella. The pain was unbearable.
"It doesn't work that way," I spat.
"Of course not, I mean," Seth started, "It does change. Maybe you will end up with Analisse somehow, and she can be your happily ever after and--."
"Enough," the words came out gruff.
I stopped in my tracks. Smelling a scent unfamiliar to me.
"I'm sorry Jacob..."
"No, I'm sorry," I shook my head, "It's not you--do you smell that?"
He froze as well, sniffing the air around us. It was too dark to see; to dark to have a vision. He looked at me, his eyes hopeful. I nodded, and let out a growl as I transformed into a werewolf. The ache from the new muscles bundled up at my sides hurt slightly, but with a stretch, loud cracks filled the air. Seth followed my lead, now a werewolf as well.
...Keep your thoughts light.
He nodded and waited for another command.
...Split up, look for any traces of her and I'll gaurd the line.
He nodded as well, leaving me be.
I sprinted over to the crossing line of Vampires and Werewolfs. The scent was mixed, I could tell now. A mix of that familiar vampire scent and the unfamiliar light breezy sweet scent. I felt my nose burn with the smell of vampires falling into my nose. I couldn't take being so close to the line. So close to them. I turned my head and sniffed the air behind me, the soft sweet scent was more noticeable behind me. I dug my paws into the ground and traveled along the line. In seconds, I could tell it was clear and empty.
And suddenly, somehow, a wash of that new scent fell over me. It passed me slowly, and it seemed to circle around me. I almost saw it. It swirled around in a light blue color, a hint of gold specks mixed in together. And in a blink it flew over to a different side. It fly away from me. I followed it, trying to catch up to it. I growled as it were faster than me.
...Follow something you don't normally see.
...I don't see anything, Jacob.
I tried not to think about anything that was too easy for the pack to recgonize. It was too early for them to transform and gaurd the line. I looked up beyond the tree's, noticing the moon was a faint light--almost waiting to be glowing in the night. But it wasn't time yet.
...I see her!
...Follow her Seth! Hurry!
I hear a sound of footsteps running wildly toward me. I stopped, trying to pin point the direction, but it was much to fast.
...I can't keep up with a vampire.
My senses were alarmed now. She was in the hands of a vampire. I blinked, and once my eyes opened, she passed me.
...It's Emmett.
I could hear Seth's thoughts now becoming more alarm. I followed him, watching as he turned back around at me. He jumped high and landed lightly against his side of the line. Emmet Cullen stopped before me as I stayed on my side of the land. I couldn't move. I couldn't break the treaty.
...He broke the treaty!
I growled at Seth, knowing he was behind me. He couldn't think to much. He couldn't spill too much information.
I noticed Analisse's fair skin now glowing in a bit of a golden color. Her eyes shot open now, straight up at Emmet. The glow from her eyes lit up the forest; a blue hue filled the darkness. I stepped one foot on his side, now calm and easy. I held out a paw to her, nodding my head towards Analisse. But than he spoke.
"No. I'm sorry."
And then he was gone.
