Jacob stopped in front of his house, and lowered himself down. Go on inside. I'm gonna go grab my clothes. He said. I jump down from his back. He got up on his hind legs and opened the door for me. I walked in and tried the pushed the door close, using my head. I feel down because someone behind me closed the door. I looked finding Billy, sitting in chair, above me.
"Thought you could use a little help." He replied. I nodded then proceeded to nuzzle his shin. This made him laugh, and bend over. He gentle grabbed a hold of me, and set me in his lap.
"Come on I'll give you a ride." He said turning his chair around. He gave me a ride all the way to the living room. He stopped in front of a tall book case. "Bet your wondering why Jake named you Sarah." Billy said. I looked up at him and tilted my head. Actually I was a little curious. "You see that picture up there?" Billy asked me.
I looked up at where he was pointing. At the very top of the book case was a small frame. I couldn't actually see what was inside the frame. It kind of looked dusty like it hadn't been touched for years. I leaped out of Billy's lap and started to climb up the book case.
"Careful Sarah, Jake will be mad at me if you hurt yourself." Billy said below me.
I safely made it to the top of the bookcase. It defiantly wasn't easy. I gently grabbed frame between my teeth, picked it up and looked down at Billy. It wasn't going to be easy getting down. "Maybe you should wait for Jake to come back so he could help you down?" Billy suggested. I really didn't want to be up here much longer. I looked around seeing if there was another way of getting down.
I saw the worn out couch next to book case. I jumped off of the book case and aimed for the couch. I didn't want to break the frame so I flipped over on my back. I landed on the couch, but I didn't realize that at the height jumped down at, I was going to bounce off the couch. Once I bounced off I had no idea where I was at. I just couldn't see which wasn't good. I didn't know where I was going to land. So I couldn't flip myself around to land on my feet.
I was on my back when I landed. But I didn't hit the floor; well I was pretty close to hitting the floor. Instead I was in a pair of very large, warm hands. "She's an acrobat." Billy said. I was picked up and cradled into my savior's arms. I could already tell who they belonged to.
"What were you doing?" Jacob asked me. He grabbed the frame from my mouth. He looked at it giving a small warm smile. He glanced up at the bookcase. "She was trying to get it for me." Billy explained. Jacob carried me and the frame over to the couch. He sat down, and set me on the couch next to him. I rested my forepaws on his leg. Billy wheeled himself over to us.
"That's the woman you're named after." Billy said. I looked into the frame. It was a picture of a middle aged woman, two little girls, and a small baby. I tilted my head up at Jacob. "That one." He said pointing at the middle aged woman. "Her name was Sarah. She was my mom." Jacob explained.
I looked at the photo again. She had a very warm smile, soft black eyes, and long black hair. She held the baby so close to her heart. I placed my paw on the baby. "That little runt right there is the big lug you're laying on." Billy laughed. I gave the baby in the photo a sniff. "Why did you do that?" Jacob asked. I really didn't know thought I could try and catch his scent if I did.
"Speaking of sniffing Jacob. I think it's time Sarah got a bath." Billy said. I tilted my head again. What's a bath? I asked. I realized neither of them could understand me. So I guess I had to wait to find out.
Oh no, I'm not getting in that thing! I said trying to squirm out of Jacobs hands. "Come on Sarah you need to take a bath." I didn't want to bite Jacob but if he was going to put me in that big white bowl I defiantly going to think about it. I was trying my best to flip backwards in his hands but it just wasn't working.
Jacob set me down, and I ran for the door. He closed it before I could get out. Dammit! I said. I then back flipped as many times as I could. "Guess you wanna talk to me." Jacob said. He stripped his clothes off, and then started to change into the russet wolf.
Can I help you? He asked.
There is no way in hell I'm getting in that thing! I said turning around facing my back towards him. But Sarah you have to take a bath. He said. Why? I don't see you getting in it. I huffed. If I take a bath with you will you take one? He asked. Sure that seems fair. I said. Ok but we're taking a shower and I have to be a human. He explained. Wait why? I asked. Because in order for you to actually get you clean, I'm going to need thumbs. He said. Oh was all I said.
Jacob quickly changed back into his human form. He picked me up and we both got into the big bowl he called a tub. At first when he turned the water on it was freezing cold, then it started to warm up. "Geez, you stink." Jacob said as the water started to wet my fur. I didn't like that comment so I gently bite Jacob on the chest. "Ow ok I'm sorry I'm just telling you the truth." He said.
He started rubbing this sweet smelling goo into my fur. He rubbed it deep down into my skin. Then he rubbed the goo into his long hair. After he was done he lifted me up into the water and rinsed all the goo and bubbles out of my fur. He laughed at me when he lifted me up. I suppose it was a little funny. After he dried me off he said I looked like a drowned rat. I don't think that's the best thing you should say to your mate though. I will admit I did smell a lot better.
"Ok tomorrow I'm going over to the Cullen's to see if they know anything about you or your family." Jacob said getting into his bed. He lifted up the covers so I could get underneath them. I didn't entirely like the fact that he was going to see the… vampires, but they were his friends and maybe they could help us figure out who I am. I quickly got under the covers and stuck my head out. I rested my head on the pillow next to him. He gave me a quick peck on the head between my eyes. I returned the favor by licking his cheek.
When I woke up Jacob was gone. I jumped down from his bed and walked out of his room. I could smell something delicious coming from the direction of the living room. I decided to follow the smell. I found Billy cooking in the kitchen. I walked up from behind him. I stood on my hind legs and rested my paws on his leg.
"Good morning Sarah. I hope you're hungry. I made breakfast for us." Billy said looking down at me. I nodded happily. He grabbed the pan and wheeled himself over to the counter. I followed behind him watching curiously. He poured the food onto two plates. He grabbed one plate and wheeled himself over to the tiny kitchen table, then wheeled back over to the counter and grabbed the second plate. He set the second plate down on the floor next to him. He ate his food at the table and I happily scarfed down the food on the floor.
I must say Billy was an amazing cook, but then again human food always better tasted then the stuff I hunted for. "So Sarah, what would you like to do today? Jacob is over at Bella's…" I tilted my head at that name. Billy noticed and started to chuckle. He was about to explain to who she was but there was a knock at the door.
"Billy? You home?" Someone asked on the other side of the door. "It's Charlie. Go hide in Jacob's room." Billy told me. I nodded and ran towards Jacob's room. I hid under his bed. It was messy under there.
It seemed like I was under there for an hour until I heard Jacob's voice. I crawled out from under the bed. I slunk myself along the hallway. There were three voices now. I peered my head around the corner. There was another human sitting in Jacob's living room. I could only guess it was Charlie. He was talking to Billy. His back was facing me. I crawled a little closer to get a better look at him.
I saw Jacob's eye go wide, when he saw me. He got up from the couch and walked over to me. He picked me up and was about to walk back to his room. "What you got there Jacob?" Charlie asked. Jacob quickly turned around hiding me behind his back. "Um…" He said trying to come up with a lie. I tried to squirm out of his grip. Jacob only gripped onto me tighter, and it hurt me. So I bit him, but I only ended up hurting my mouth. I let out a pain yip, which cause Jacob to drop me.
I fell to the floor. I stood up and shook myself off. I started licking at my lips trying to nurse the pain. Jacob stepped aside, and crouched down next to me. He inspected my jaw seeing if anything was really damaged.
"You know it's illegal to have a wild animal as a pet right?" Charlie asked, looking at me then at Billy and Jacob. Billy looked over at Jacob. "You might as well tell him son." Billy said. "Tell me what." Charlie asked.
