Previously

Honestly, noting mayor yet. Bella and Jenny bonded a little, but still Bella got a little jealous when Jenny was sitting with Jacob during lunch. After school Bella and Jenny headed over to the reservation to talk to Jake about Jenny's car. Time for the next chappie folks, a little more eventful then the last chappie I promise.

chapter 04.

An old man stepped out of the shade on the porch and waved at Bella. His gray hair was gathered in a ponytail on the back of his head, his skin was wrinkled, but his eyes mischievous... like a boys eyes.

"Hello Bella." He greeted her as he walked over towards her. "Are you here for Jake?"

Bella nodded. It wasn't until Billy looked at me that Bella remembered to introduce me.

"Billy, this is Jenny Durance. My neighbor." she said "Jenny this is Jake's father."

I nodded politely and shook the man's hand. I tried not to notice how intently the man looked at me. It was as though he was appraising me like you would a vegetable in the supermarket before purchase. He noticed my discomfort and turned to Bella.

"He's working in the barn on his bike." Billy motioned to the barn. "Is your dad home Bella? I was planning on paying him a visit." Bella nodded. Billy excused himself and headed for his car. Bella nudged my arm and gestured for me to follow her to the barn.

"Come on" she said.

I followed her and watched as she peered inside. "Jake!" she had to yell in order to be heard over the music Jacob was playing. He turned and I could see his whole face lit up when he saw Bella.

"Bella." he said, obviously excited to see her.

"And Jenny." I added meekly, feeling just a tad left out. He smiled at me briefly only to quickly focus his attention on his prize again.

I let the two of them talk, not really paying attention. In stead, feeling like the third wheel I decided to have a look around. I excused myself and told Bella and Jacob I was going for a walk.

This was the kind of forest where you'd expect to see little Red Riding Hood skipping along the path on her way to grandma's house. I looked up, and couldn't even see all the way up to the tree tops. It was like a roof of branches and leaves over my head. Beautiful.

I really enjoyed my walk and the quiet, that is until I heard some voices in the distance. Laughter, it seemed like. I left the path and followed my ears. I looked back several time to make sure I'd find my way back. After a while I found that the forest just... stopped. I walked out of the shade and looked around. There was a cliff just ahead, no way to cross. I heard the laughter again. When I turned to my right I noticed a group of boys. Two of them were kind of mock-wrestling right next to the cliff. Oh wow... that looked dangerous.

I was afraid to make a sounds, worried that one of them would loose their attention and fall over the edge and so I stood in silence and watched. One of the boys managed to trip the other under loud cheers from his friends. When the boy got back on his feet he retaliated, taking the other one's head in a vice like grip. Wow, they were really close to the edge now.

Suddenly one of them noticed me, and all of a sudden all eyes were on me. I started to apologize when suddenly one of the two fighting boys took advantage of the moment where his friend wasn't paying attention and without even a second thought he pushed him straight over the edge of the cliff!

"OH!" I screamed, rushing over and looking over the side. All I could see now was the water beneath, and the ripples from where he must have landed. "What did you do!" I panicked.

"Don't worry." One of them said, he had been watching and he clearly was the eldest.

"Are you crazy!" I squealed... "Do you know how dangerous that is!" The boys ...and girl, hadn't noticed her before, all chuckled as though I had just said something incredibly stupid.

"Relax," one of the younger guys said. "It's just cliff-diving... it's like a sport."

And sure enough, down below I spotted his friend swimming to the shore.

"Oh, my God... that looked so incredibly"

"Scary?" the girl offered, she obviously had a superiority complex or something the way she stood. This 'I'm-all-that' attitude. She clearly wasn't impressed with my little intervention. "I'm going home." and with that she disappeared into the woods.

I turned to the older guy, who spoke before. "I'm really sorry. I'm such a meddler... I'll just go." I turned to leave but then he stopped me.

"No need" he said. "Those guys needed an intervention." he said with a polite smile. "I'm Sam. The guy that went over the cliff is Embry, Leah is the one who just left. And these are Quill, Seth and Paul."

"Okay, well... it was nice to meet you but I think I'll head back. I'm visiting Jacob Black with a friend of mine and they'll be wondering what's taking me so long." I explained. Sam nodded.

"Well we hope to be seeing you around." Sam said, the boys behind him muttered some words of agreement. Sam clearly was the leader of the pack. These boys obviously looked up to him. I said goodbye and turned to leave. After only a few steps I swear I heard some hushed catcalls and gossip behind me, but soon those sounds were replaced by the boys returning to their game.

I shook my head, trying to get rid of the image of the half naked boys playing by the cliff as I made my way back to Jake's house. Out of nowhere a rabbit crossed my path, I smiled... I'd never seen a wild rabbit come so close to a human. And fast! Like it had rockets attached to his hips or something. I turned to my side, looking to see what the fuzzy little critter had been running from. The sight nearly gave me a heart attack. A wolf bigger then a bear! At only a few yards away from me.

I bit my lip to keep from crying out in panic. I think I read somewhere that it's best to be as still as you possibly can when faced with a wolf... or was that bears. Didn't really matter, even if it was bears... I wouldn't be able to move if I wanted to.

For a second the wolf looks right at me and even more shockingly it flinched! Can you imagine a wolf that size flinching at the sight of a mere human! Like I could do any harm to him! And then in a blur of gray, he was gone. He just ran off.

For a second I stood frozen in place, but when it finally registered that he was gone I started running. And I didn't stop until I saw Jacob's house.

"WOLF! WOLF!" I yelled at the top of my lungs when the barn came into sight. The door flew open and Bella and Jake ran out to see what the commotion was about. Both of them looked really worried.

Instinctively I ran into the arms of the one who looked most capable to protect and I reveled in the feeling of Jake's arms around me. Even though I had caught him off guard.

"What happened?" he asked.

I struggled, trying to catch my breath and then explained. "A wolf, …in the woods, ...huge!" I motioned it's size with my hands for emphasis. Bella and Jacob exchanged a glace before ushering me into the house. I took a seat on the small couch and accepted the glass of water Jacob offered.

"Thanks." I said, after downing the drink in one gulp. "We should call the police right?" I asked. "Jacob there were people out there, they're in danger."

"Who?" Bella asked.

"Uhm..." I searched my mind for the names that guy told me. "Sam, Quill..." All the other names had been lost with the shock, but Jacob seemed to know who the others would be.

"Don't worry, I'll call my dad..." She disappeared into the kitchen.

"You shouldn't have left the path." Jacob said after a few seconds. "You could get lost in the woods."

"I heard your friends." I explained. "They were cliff-diving. Scared the hell out of me... not as much as that wolf though. You should have seen it. It was unbelievable."

"Are you sure it was a wolf, maybe it was a bear." Jacob suggested as he sat down on the armrest of the couch, right beside me.

"No, I'm telling you it was a wolf. It was standing right in front of me. And guess what?"

"What?" he asked.

"It was scared of me, seriously it flinched when it saw me." I ranted going on and on about how the thing was at least twice my size and probably a hundred times stronger and still it was startled by me. Jacob listened intently. Honestly I have to give him credit, because I was sure that he would make some excuse to join Bella in the kitchen. In stead, when I started talking so fast that I had trouble breathing, he draped his arm around my shoulders and soothed me.

I looked up at him surprised and he smiled. "Don't worry, Bella's calling Charlie and he'll warn people about the wolf." he said.

Bella returned from the kitchen and almost immediately Jacob withdrew his arm. "Charlie says he's had other reports about big wolfs, so the police department is already on the case." She said. "You don't need to worry."

It was uncomfortably silent the next couple of minutes. I pretended I didn't notice how Bella and Jacob exchanged a meaningful glance and gladly accepted Bella's offer to drive me home.
