Chapter three.

Felicity's POV.

The next two weeks or so were a bit of a blur. The winter break was almost finished, I started school on Monday - three days away. I spent the majority of my days with Jacob. It was the strangest thing, he would show up practically every day at Bear's house; at the same time. 11 on the dot. We would go on walks, he showed me around town, we would go out to eat or go to the movies. It was almost as if we had developed a friendship the minute we'd seen each other. There had been no awkward phase from strangers to friends. It was a Friday, I awoke at 10 am, giving me an hour to shower and change before Jacob showed up. I did just that, I allowed my dark reddy brown hair to fall over my shoulders in messy waves; and pulled on a navy blue, long sleeved top and a pair of dark denim jeans.

I made my way heavy footedly down the staircase and bounced into the kitchen for 11am, and much to my surprise Jacob, Quil, Embry and Bear were sat around the kitchen table and leaning on the breakfast bar. I frowned when I noticed their expressions. Pain? Worry? I couldn't decide. "I'm not interrupting…am I?" I asked quietly as I stood in the doorway, nervously fiddling with the sleeves of my clingy cotton top. My eyes flashed automatically to Jacob's, whose face changed from distress to ecstatic in a split second.

"Not at all." He replied in his deep husky voice. I caught the three others shoot him a look that could kill, of which he shrugged off apologetically.

I made my way over to the fridge and pulled out the eggs, bacon and milk; along with the bowl of fruit of which I had put in their last night.

"So, since Felicity's here now, does that mean we don't have to put up with your awful cooking Bear?" Embry joked, causing Quil and Jacob to laugh. I smiled as I began to prepare the pancake batter.

"Watch it boy!" Bear mock kicked Embry, Quil joined in and before anyone was aware - they were in a full blown wrestling match. I turned to see Jacob leaning over the breakfast bar, staring at me with those big brown eyes of his.

"You keep staring at me like that Jake and I might just think you have some sort of infatuation with me." I squinted at him before I burst into laughter. His wide grin did that to me, it was like an immediate reaction. I began flipping pancakes and frying the bacon. In my few weeks of being here, I had become accustomed to cooking for a group of very large, very hungry guys with appetites bigger than anyone could imagine. I knew to make enough food to feed a small village.

"Infatuation you say?" Jacob mocked, with a smirk. As if I were missing something.

"So what're we doing today?" I asked."Actually, I only came along to let you know that I cant hang out today…there's…" Jacob glanced back to the now very serious looking expressions of Quil, Embry and Bear. "There's a sort of, group meeting I have to go to. It could last most of the day…" Jake looked like he felt awful, and I wanted to comfort him by hiding the disappointment I felt but it was impossible. I tried to force a smile but I was sure it looked more like I was in pain.

"Oh…sure. You don't…want me to go with you or anything?" I asked, a girl could hope, right? And anyways, desperate time call for desperate measures. I was willing to hang out at some lousy town meeting for hours on end, if I got to stare at those eyes for any length of time.

"Sorry angel, not this time. But…maybe for the next one, you could come with?" I noticed him glance towards Bear, who seemed worried but nodded in acceptance very swiftly.

I was utterly confused now, but I smiled as best I could as I plated the first round of pancakes, bacon and the huge bowl of fruit.

"Well eat up, you guys wont get this treatment when I start school; so I'd appreciate it while you can." I smirked, and Quil, Embry and my uncle were quite happy to forget my disappointment as they began to wolf down the food. Yet Jacob just walked around the kitchen island and leaned against the counter, his expression filled with sympathy, guilt.

"I would really much rather spend the day with you, you know that; right?"

The butterflies went crazy in my stomach and I had to force myself to look away from his intense stare. Only for it to automatically reach his gaze again seconds later. I couldn't not look at that boy, it was physically impossible.

"Sure…" I replied as I plated the second servings, before mixing some eggs.

"I suppose I better eat before it's all gone huh?" Jacob smiled, but his eyes still showed hurt. "I saved the good ones for you." I stated nervously as I grabbed the large plate, filled to the brim with pancakes, bacon; butter and syrup. Just how he liked it. I passed him the plate and he grinned, a sincere; happy grin this time."Thanks, angel." He replied; his smile holding a little more emotion than usual. I was surprised I didn't faint then and there.

They ate for what felt like forever, whilst I just stood and drank a pot full of coffee.

"I'm surprised with the amount of caffeine you drink, you're not bouncing off the walls." Bear laughed as I finished my fifth and final cup.

"High tolerance, you done?" I walked around the kitchen island and to the table. Jacob carried on staring at me the whole time I cleared the plates. Fair enough he was gorgeous; but he was a little odd.

"We should probably head, boys." Bear stood up from the table and stretched, I frowned in confusion."You're going?" I asked, attempting not to show just how left out I felt.

"Yeah, don't worry I'll be back before you know it." My uncle mocked me as he exited along with Quil and Embry. Jake just sort of stood there, staring at me, he looked slightly confused.

"You're doing that staring thing again, stalker." I mocked and Jacob welcomed my joking with a laugh and a charming smile.

"Quit hiding your jealousy with humor." He stated, catching me extremely off guard. My gaze lifted to his and he was leaning against the counter with a smug look on his face.

"Why…would I be jealous?" I asked, my breath catching slightly in my throat. This only caused Jake's smile to widen."Because were all going to the meeting and you're not."

"Like I seriously want to sit in a room full of guys listening to ways in which we could improve the…err, whatever." I stumbled, his dark eyes were making me turn girl again.

"You think that's we talk about?" He asked, almost amused.

"I don't know no one will tell me anything." I answered truthfully.

"Don't leave the house, okay?" He asked, his face a little more serious.

"Why not?" His apparent control over me was no excuse for down right telling me what to do.

"I'm guna come by in an hour or so and pick you up."

"I thought the meeting was guna last for like, ages." I tried to straighten the creases from my brow as I spoke.

"Oh it is, I think I can manage to get away, Felicity."

"Don't break the rules for me." My words surprised me, and I shook my head before running a hand back through my hair. "something isn't…right, is it?" And with that I heard Bear roar from the front door.

"Jacob!" He bellowed, I jumped slightly.

"No it's not." He stated before he made his way towards the exit. "I'll be back in an hour." And with that he was gone. I stomped my feet repeatedly in frustration before making my way back upstairs. Stupid, ridiculous La Push with its even more stupid, ridiculous, irritating, pointless traditions of town meetings with an incredibly strict guest list that you had have god only knows what wrong with you to get on it in the first place!

I flopped down on my bed and pounded at the mattress in annoyance, before rolling over onto my back staring at the blank ceiling. It didn't take long for his face to pop back into my head, this was so stupid. I had spent time alone before, surely I could find something to do for a few hours before he came back…right?

Jacob's POV.

Sam stood in front of everyone, we were all prepared for the worst. It wasn't half of that. It turned out he only wished to inform us that we needed to be doing regular checks in the woods, making sure no fresh trails were present. "Our main priority is keeping our territory safe, we've got a good few hours ahead of us, we must discuss who is to take which days, which routes and which times. And so on. So lets get going." Sam finished, I glanced around the room before looking back to my watch. I probably wasn't going to get out as soon as I planned.

I walked towards where Sam stood, I had to tell him what was going on. I had to tell him before I told Bear. Otherwise it was possible I'd be murdered, and it wouldn't be quick nor painless.

"Sam, could I…talk to you, for a sec? Outside." He mumbled something and followed me outside, into the woods.

"What's up, Jacob?" He asked sincerely, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Eurgh, I'm in…trouble." I ran a hand back through my hair.

"What kind of trouble, what's going on?" Sam's voice was low, but worried."I've imprinted." I blurted out, and he almost looked as if he wanted to hit me for a second; before breaking into a wide smile.

"On who?"

"Felicity Harlow…Bears niece." I whispered the last words and Sam's face dropped immediately, but I could see him trying to hide a smirk."You're pretty screwed." I laughed at his words.

"I was wondering if…if I could get away early, before Bear gets out. So that I could talk to her?" "Sure, get out of here. I'll fill you in later, but you do know that Bear will never trust you with her, I know you're his favorite just now and that yeah he probably would want you to be friends with her - maybe date her...but imprinting is different. When you imprint on someone the relationship is excelled, thrown into utter devotion so quickly. And he loves her more than anything, he wont want to let go." Sam warned.

"He'll come round, there really isn't much he can do now."

"No there isn't. We'll be in here for another 3 hours, round about. So you've got a while." He nodded before making his way back inside. "Hey Sam…" He turned around as I spoke. "You couldn't…talk to Bear, maybe? You know how much he respects you…" It was worth a shot, right?"I'll do my best Jake, get out of here."

I ran to my place, before grabbing my bike. I parked it just outside her house, glancing into the kitchen window it I saw her pacing and couldn't stop myself from laughing. I knocked on the front door; and it took her nothing short of 4 seconds to answer, a huge grin spread across her face.

"I thought you weren't guna show." She smiled, stepping aside for me to enter. I stood still though, which confused her. "What is it, you look way too serious." She raised a dark eyebrow as she stared at me."Come on, there's something you need to see." She followed obediently until we reached my bike. I picked up the helmet and held it to her with a smile.

"You're kidding, right?" Felicity laughed, staring at the bike, then to me and repeat.

"Nope, come on. I cant wait to see how dorky you look in this helmet." I said, she scrunched up her face and put the large black helmet on. She really did look like a dork, but she was still beautiful.

"Hmm…" I mumbled as she stood disapprovingly by the bike."What? Is it that bad?" She panicked.

"No, you just…you still manage to look cute even with 20 pounds of helmet. Come on." I motioned for her to climb behind me and she did so.

I was going to take her to the woods, there wasn't any other place I could phase in complete private. I couldn't help but allow the nerves to build up to a ridiculous amount. If she took it badly, the girl I'd been waiting for would disappear. She would be gone. I could only hope.

"Why the woods?" Felicity asked as we walked further into the secluded woodland.

"It isn't crowded." I laughed, still staring at her face. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. With bright, crystal green eyes - cat like in shape. And messy, waist length dark hair with the slightest hint of red in the sunlight. With a smile that could charm anyone.

"It's beautiful." She said quietly as she walked.

"I've got a question for you, it's pretty random…" I began.

"Shoot."

"How come you don't dance anymore?" The question seemed to catch her of guard. Her eyes snapped towards me and then looked down towards the ground.

"How did you know…?""Bear, he used to talk about it all the time. What a great dancer you were. But you haven't mentioned it." I tried not to upset her as best I could, giving her a warm smile of which she seemed to partially accept.

"I love ballet, I just…I don't have the time anymore." She replied, and I left it at that as we came to a clearing - I stopped and she copied, turning to look at me.

"So Mr. Black, why am I here?" She asked with a gentle smile, looking up to me from her tiny, delicate height.

"I have to talk to you, seriously. And I am begging you not to freak out, or hate me or…run." I laughed, her face was concerned but not scared as she stood.

"O…Kay." Felicity laughed nervously.

I removed my t shirt and heard her gasp slightly, I grinned at her as she blushed.

"You're showing me you?" She giggled.

"Kinda. Just, promise me you wont run away, or…I wont hurt you or anything, and I know it's guna be hard to understand, or weird or whatever. But let me explain, promise me?" I leaned down to look deep in her eyes. I could tell she trusted me completely when she smiled crookedly.

"Of course, just, quit being so weird." I gave her my t shirt and began running into the woods.

"Wait there!" I called as I ran into the shielded area. My phase was complete in seconds, my body had shuddered and metamorphosed incredibly quickly. Probably because of how anxious I was.

So there I went, I shook my fur slightly before making my way out of the shaded woodland, and into the bright clearing…
