Chapter 4

JACOB

As soon as I hit the woods I immediately stripped and changed to wolf form. I began to run in the direction of Seth's howl. My mind kept going back to Nessi . I felt like a broken video recorder stuck on the same images. The past few days were blurry to me, I couldn't seem to get my head straight. Why? What in all hell, heaven and earth was going on with me?

It wasn't until Bella had set things straight with me tonight that I had even seriously realized I had been neglecting Seth and Leah. I thought it was because of Ness. She was important to me, but was that the true reason for me ignoring them?

It wasn't until I had run only a few miles when I realized my mind was completely blank. Not of my own thoughts of course, but of the others. Usually as soon I changed into my other form I got a head load of images and thoughts streaming through my mind, non of which were my own, but of my pack. Leah usually ranting about something or Seth at least saying hello. Usually I couldn't even here myself think or even hear around me. But tonight there was dead silence. Something wasn't right.

I began to run faster through the woods. I could here the thumping of my enormous feet against the ground, the chirping and buzzing of bugs . All these sounds seemed intensified by the lack of thoughts in my mind. It was unnerving.

Seth , Leah what's going on?

No response.

Talking to me damn it, this isn't funny! I'm sorry about not contacting you guys in a couple of days, but this is no reason to ignore-

Come to the clearing

Seth?

come to the clearing near the border...hurry.

It was Seth, but he didn't sound like himself. Although it seemed like something was wrong he didn't think anything of it. My mind just went totally blank again. I growled in annoyance.

Seth, is Leah with you, please tell me

Yes…please hurry.

I picked up my feet even harder. Why did he want to meet on the border of La push? Usually he met me wherever. Did it have something to do with Sam's pack?

Finally I drew nearer to the clearing Seth spoke of. Before I went into the clearing I looked around cautiously. Near the center in the clear moonlight I could see Seth's massive figure. He seemed to stand there waiting for me. Only a few feet away , a white wolf stood nearby. Leah.

I slowly made my way into the clearing closer to them. I crouched forward sniffing the air.

Seth, are you alright? What's going on?

Seth said nothing, but suddenly he began to whimper. My ears perked up in concern. I glanced at both of them, their head's down and ears pulled back. I growled in irritation.

Seth, Leah, if this is some stupid ass joke your playing you better quit it right now or I'll bite you both ,you here me?

I drew even closer to them until I could see the glowing of there eyes. It wasn't until I saw there blank stares that I knew this was no joke. I drew back away from them and I knew I had made a really big mistake.

Leah growled at me and than a nice clean snarl lifted from her mouth. Seth too lifted a few teeth at me and came closer. I snarled back in defiance. There was one pure moment of intense electric stillness, and than all hell broke loose.

Leah came at me first with a blow to the side of my face with her teeth while Seth came around from the side and snapped at my neck. The snarls and barks were earsplitting. I was sure it would wake up all of La push and the surrounding area. I snapped my jaws at them to make them draw back, but they seemed fearless.

I had no time to get through to them through thoughts. They were completely mindless. As if I really was fighting two wild, uncontrollable and enraged wolves. I could only act now. I pushed them off me and bit down hard on Leah's ear dragging her to the ground, her screams and yaps causing my ears to ring. Seth clawed up back, biting into my neck. I growled and snarled, not letting go of my hold of Leah, but shaking her hard while trying to get Seth off of me. I didn't want to hurt them, but I couldn't think of what else to do. What the hell was wrong with them?

Suddenly Seth bit down near my eye causing me to ease my hold on Leah long enough for her to become released. Without even hesitating she leaped at my throat with her jaws, her weight along with Seth's causing me to trip over.

I tried to steady myself, but I had already gone down on my side. Seth still on top of me put all his weight into keeping me down, his teeth locked on my throat. Leah had jumped away from me and was now circling. I snarled furiously, almost forgetting myself. With enough strength I was able to roll on to my back slipping out of Seth's grip. I pushed my legs into Seth's stomach and kicked him off of me. He dropped a few feet away causing dirt and ground to break and fly around him.

He was back on his feet in an instant however, along with Leah by his side. They gave no sign of stopping. I knew I'd have to make them, or things would only continue to get worse. I steadied myself and flung myself towards them. I had planned to take out Seth first, only to knock him out than deal with Leah, but to my horrible dismay I had forgotten how quick Leah really was. When I went to come at Seth , Leah swept around and jumped on to my back. Being distracted by this Seth moved towards my legs . He bit down hard on to my right front paw causing me to go down. I instantly caught the scent of blood. My own of course. This wasn't turning out so good.

Leah's claws dug into my back and Seth continued to bite at my legs. I tried to get up, but with Leah's weight and the pain from my legs caused me to finally lay on my stomach. This time both Leah and Seth were on top of me making sure I couldn't get up or struggle to move. Damn, I never thought I would have been thwarted by the two siblings.

I growled and snarled, but it was no use. Seth had bitten pretty good into my joints and Leah was unending on her hold. I then laid there waiting. Were they just going to stand there and rejoice in there sweet victory over me or were they going to finish me off?

It wasn't until I saw, at glace, the dark figures coming out of the woods nearby that I knew it wasn't just Seth and Leah behind all this. When the figures finally came into view both rage and utter shock crossed my face. It couldn't be possible. How could she have fooled us all?

Morgan kneeled down next to me and stared innocently into my face. She placed a hand on my snout and pat me gently.

" Now Jacob are you going to behave?" she said sweetly, her eyes, a piercing ,sinister glow in the dark.

I went to snap at her hand, but she was too quick. She stood up and moved about me, seeming to analyze and observe. It was than that I noticed the other two with her. They were two burly looking men, with , big bodies similar to my kind. One with long hair folded in a pony tail and the other darker skin and massive. Both looked like they belonged in a street or biker gang.

"Hmmm, it looks like were going to have to teach him how to be a good , obedient dog doesn't it?" Morgan smirked. The two men grinned, showing off sharp pointed teeth on the top and bottom of their large mouths. I stared wide eyed at them. Who and what the hell were they?

"I'd like you to meet my two "partners in crime" Jacob. Bane and Scyros. Why don't you introduce yourself boys?" Morgan said drawing away from them . All though she seemed to speak jokingly her look was dead serious. The men grinned even wider, their faces nearly distorted. Suddenly they closed their dark eyes as if to concentrate. Their heads bowing and there stance almost hunched over. Suddenly there eyes popped open to reveal sheer white, yellow pupils. A rumbling, gurgling noise came from within their chest along with the noise of ripping and shredding which I hoped was just their clothes.

In a few mere seconds their bodies began to become totally distorted. Their mouths grew wider like some type of Glasgow smile and their teeth grew sharper. Their ears pulled back around there faces and stretched to become longer and pointier. Their muscles bulged up and ripped through there cloths. One of the men let out a low moan as I heard the cracking and snapping of bone, like the sound of snapping branches. The sound was sickening, it made me want to throw up big time.

As I continued to watch their bodies stretch and distort it became clear to me what these men truly were. They were the true monsters that everyone had first mistaken my kind for. The one's the Volturi had said they had slaughtered to near extinction.

Werewolves

Their transformation was complete and as a sweet release, perhaps similar to my own kind, they howled in praise to the massive, full moon. Seth and Leah joined in into their long chorus and all to soon so did Morgan. She was totally unhinged. Totally nuts.

Their howls quieted and Morgan chuckled in amusement. I certainly didn't see what was so funny. I badly want to rip that nasty grin right off her face. She came closer to me again and took hold of my jaw making me lift my head up to stare at her horrifying eyes.

"Now Jacob, I think its time that your transformation be complete." She said softly.

My transformation? What the hell was she talking about?

She shook my head roughly so I'd concentrate on her again. I could feel her claw like hands digging tightly into my muzzle making sure I looked at her.

" Listen to me. Your going to do exactly as I say. You are going to give me what I came here for,"

Like hell I was. She'd have to kill me before I'd ever do what she asked. Although, there was something about her eyes. they bore through like she was looking right into me. Her eyes were very intense, almost…hypnotic.

" Your going to do exactly as I say Jacob Black," She repeated. " Now… look into my eyes.."
