My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as we kept heading north in the park. We'd been driving in awkward silence—well at least it was awkward to me—for about an hour now. Jacob was staring out the window, grinning every once in a while, and pointing out animals on the side of the road. The reason I feel so nervous right now is because Jacob has had an ENORMOUS grin on his face for the past five minutes. I can only fathom what's going on it that crazy head of his right now.

I finally spoke up out of anxiety. "Jacob, we've been driving for an hour now, and we haven't stopped yet." I said, wringing my hands on the steering wheel.

"Duh, I know that Captain Obvious." He replied, looking over at me as he spoke.

I cringed under his black gaze, but was irked by his comment. "Well, do you know where we're going or are you just trying to waste my gas?"

He rolled his eyes back towards the window. "I'm trying to waste your gas, and of COURSE I know where we're going. I've only been here twenty million times." He replied back, his voice full of sarcasm.

Not only was I freaking out because I didn't know his motives, now I was just annoyed. Did he have to be such a jerk? "Look, I'm just saying, you've never been here and if—"

"Look, I said if I saw something interesting that we would stop, okay? Stop freaking out." He interrupted me. I think he was annoyed by the constant uneasy air that was choking the small space in between us.

"But," I persisted, "We've past tons of interesting things. We've passed Gibbon Falls, Beryl Spring, the Artists Paintpots, Steamboat Geyser, Norris Geyser Basin, Roaring Mountain, Mammoth Hot Springs, Undine Falls…" I told him, remembering the names from my own past visits. "Now we're just heading towards the north eastern entrance. We passed Tower-Roosevelt about twenty minutes ago."

Jacob heaved out a sigh. "Kim," he started, "we're almost where I think is interesting." He grinned. My heart jumped at the sight of his grin. Not because I like him. Because I was antsy, and I guess you could say I didn't trust him at that moment.

"Whatever you say, Master. I've been your little slave the past few days so what is one more thing to bear?" I pouted. "Buying you food, buying you a shirt because you think you're too good to be clothed, bringing you here…"I grumbled under my breath.

Jacob laughed. "You're right; I'm too good to be wearing clothes. I prefer to be naked." He rolled his eyes as he laughed.

I blushed, but retorted with, "Shut up." Ugh, what kind of comeback was that?!

"You're terrible at those comebacks, Kim. You should work on that." He teased, but then suddenly pointed out the window at this old beaten path that led off into the forest. "Turn here! Now!"

My eyes widened, and I swerved off the road onto the path. My heart was pounding from the sudden turn off the road and onto this old beaten up trail. It looked like it hadn't been used in ages…where was Jacob leading us? My grip on the steering wheel tightened, and I was even more edgy than I was before. "My god, Jacob! You're a liar! I knew you were trying to kill me! I almost had a heart attack!" I tried to tease him to get my mind off of what could be the possibility of where this trail led.

Jacob chuckled, and replied, "Yes, I'm definitely trying to end your life by giving you a heart attack."

"I knew it. You liar. If you're going to kill me, at least feed me to the wolves. That's a much more interesting death than dying by heart attack." I replied, feeling my heart slow its pace. Good. I needed to relax. I was starting to get on my own nerves, and that's saying something. I'm usually very tolerant…I think.

"That would be a very painful death, but I guess it's better than dying of a heart attack." Jacob replied. I don't think he thought the joke was very funny. He was still smiling, but he'd ceased in really paying attention to how the conversation was actually going.

I decided not to say anything for a while; Jacob looked like he was preoccupied…like he was looking for something.

The trail had definitely not been used for a long time. I hadn't even seen it till Jacob had pointed it at it…I figured that the last time someone had traveled down this dirt road was probably a year or two. That's a long time. Trees towered above us, keeping the sunlight from permeating the tree tops, and it seemed like the route was endless.

Jacob suddenly grinned. "We're almost there."

Suddenly the trail burst off into a large circled clearing. I drove into it cautiously, going at a measly 5 mph. I could see that on the far side of the clearing that the path kept going but, I felt like Jacob was going to ask me to stop. I pulled over to the right and parked diagonally before he could say anything. I cut off the engine, and looked over at him with an expectant look.

"You're a mind reader, Kim." He responded to my parking job, and then looked over at me. He noticed my expectant look then asked, "So you think I'm going to tell you what we're here for before we get out of the car, don't you?"

I nodded. "Well, duh. I'm very suspicious of you right now! What does a guy lead a girl out to the middle of a clearing in a dark forest for, huh?!" I looked out the window at the trees shooting up around the clearing, then back at him.

Jacob's laugh roared. "If you think I brought you out here to 'have my way with you' then you're sadly mistaken. Stop giving yourself so much credit, Kim." he unbuckled his seat belt and climbed out of the car, still laughing. Ouch, he was insulting me again.

I turned beet red. "I-I did not think that's what you'd brought me out here for, but now that I think about it, it could've been!" I retorted, jumping out after him. In all reality, I felt…hurt for some reason. Why though? The sudden theory of 'maybe you do like him Kim!' popped into my head but I quickly rejected it. I DO NOT LIKE JACOB BLACK. NOT AT ALL. I WAS HURT BECAUSE…WELL, HE'S A JERK!

Jacob rolled his eyes. "Shut up Kim, or you won't see what I've brought you out here for." He'd walked to the middle of the clearing, and followed suit.

I stood next to him on his left side, and stared out at whatever he was staring at. He was looking into the forest, but it seemed as if he saw farther than I did…like he was looking past something.

"What am I supposed to see?" I asked, trying to coax it out of him, even though I had a feeling that it wasn't far off.

"Shhh…I already said if you don't shut up, you won't see it." He replied.

I shut myself up, my curiosity getting the better of me. What was he trying to show me? I didn't see anything…oh. My. God.

It was a wolf…no…two wolves…three…four…five!

They came ambling out of the woods in a semi-circle, and they seemed cautious, as if they didn't know how to approach us. Well of course they didn't know how to approach us…they were wolves! They weren't used to humans!

Two wolves flanked the middle one on each side. From left to right, they were colored: white, grey, brown, black, white. The brown wolf seemed to be the leader.

"Oh. My. God." I whispered under my breath. "Jacob…are you crazy?!" I whisper screamed at him. I was panicking, even though I knew I shouldn't be. If there was danger, I knew Jacob was more than qualified to protect me.

Jacob pulled his shirt off, and stuffed it in my face. "Hold my clothes. I want to see if I can communicate with them." He commanded.

I blushed as I held the shirt to my face, and felt the sweatpants fall into my other outstretched hand. It was hard for me to not imagine his na-NO. KIMBERLY ANNA ZO YOU WILL STOP THESE NAUGHTY THOUGHTS ABOUT JACOB BLACK RIGHT NOW. REMEMBER. TWO PERCENT! TWO!!!!

I gave him five seconds, before I pulled the shirt down from my face. My eyes widened as I saw him transform right in front of my eyes into the most enormous russet colored wolf I'd ever seen. He was giant. No, that wasn't even the word to describe what size he was.

"Oh. My. God." I squeaked, holding the shirt and pants in my hands tightly.

Suddenly, all five wolves began growling and snapping their teeth at Jacob and I. They seemed threatened, and uneasy. Scared. Terrified, even.

I knew I was frightened. That wasn't even a good word for it. My heart was pounding in and out of my chest. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was visible to see it popping up and down in my ribcage.

The white wolf closest to me jumped out of the formation and snapped his jaws at me, snarling and letting out a bark.

Jacob let out a bark at the white wolf, and he backed off immediately, his tail between his legs. My stomach was dancing with butterflies as adrenaline raced through my body. The bark Jacob had emitted resonated throughout the forest, and the other wolves backed off. He stepped in front of me, as if were shielding me from harm.

He was standing in a defensive stance, just as the other wolves were. Things began to calm though…I could see the wolves begin to relax the way they were standing, and Jacob was doing the same too.

That's when I put two and two together.

Jacob was talking to them. With his mind. Just like he did with his Quil, and Embry, and Sam…

Oh. My. God.

I looked over at Jacob, then back at the wolves and there was a noticeable difference in their behavior. They were relaxed, no trace of hostility in them at all. Jacob suddenly looked back at me, then looked down at the clothes in my hand.

"O-oh." I turned around, realizing he was going to change back. I held the clothes above my head, and a few seconds later they were snatched out of my hands.

"You can turn around now." I heard him say.

And of course when I turned back around, he was literally two inches away from me. "H-hey! Don't surprise me like that!" I exclaimed, my cheeks turning red as I took a step back. He'd been too close for comfort!

Jacob grinned at me. "Calm down, will you? You act like I'm going to bite you." He replied. He then side stepped, and looked over at the wolves.

I took my gaze away from him and looked over at the wolves as well. They were calm, sitting on their haunches and looking at us. The brown one in the middle tilted his head at me, as if he was confused.

"I told them we were here in peace and that we didn't want to hurt them." Jacob grinned.

"What else did you say to them?" I asked him, looking over at him as he stood by my side. I knew that he wasn't here just to tell some wolves that we came in peace. Pft, I'm not that dumb!

"Can't tell you that yet." His grin faded. "It was a personal question. You won't answer any of my questions, so I'm not answering any of yours yet." He replied with a shrug.

"Not fair." I said.

"Don't you want to pet one of them? They won't hurt you." He changed the subject, looking over at the wolves.

"This is what you brought me here for? To pet a wolf?" I asked him, incredulous.

"Yeah. I thought you'd like it. I'm compensating you for buying me food last night." He told me.

I was a little shocked by his answer…in fact, I was almost flattered. But he'd done it because he was a…friend? I don't know exactly what he was to me, but I was pretty sure that he was just a friend! Nothing more! I'M TWO PERCENT!

"O-oh. Wow, thanks." Even though I knew he didn't bring me to just pet a wolf. He'd asked them an important question, and I knew that whatever it was, it was somehow going to be life changing for me.

Jacob looked over at the wolves and made this whistle noise. The brown one sauntered forward toward me, and then sat in front of me looking at me with this confused look. The others followed suit.

They were so…so…CUTE! I reached my hand reluctantly forward towards the brown one. He sniffed my hand, then licked it. I melted. It was so cute. So. So. Cute. I was never one to say things were cute, but this was cute. I put my hand on the wolf's head and began to pet him. I leaned down on one knee to get face to face with the brown one. "Aww aren't you the cutest thing!" I cooed as I took his muzzle in between my hands, ruffling up his fur.

"Eight or two percent?" Jacob asked, with a wide grin, putting a hand on top of one of the white wolves head. "You can't tell me you aren't eight percent after this."

I froze where I was, and spluttered out, "No way, I'm not answering that question!" I replied. Wait, why was I refusing to answer that question? I don't like Jacob. I'm two percent. I've said it over and over again. Why can't I say it aloud!?

"Why not?" Jacob questioned.

"Because, this is unfair. These wolves are cute, but that doesn't mean I'm going to tell you." I stood up immediately, and turned to head to my car. It pained me to leave the wolves…I wanted to pet each one of them! "We're leaving. Let's go home. I want to eat, and I didn't think of bringing anything." I said.

"Okay…"I heard the frown in Jacob's voice, but he followed me nonetheless.

As I climbed into the car and buckled myself in, I looked out the window and saw the wolves walking back into the forest. I heard Jacob's seat buckle next to me, and I looked over at him. He had a troubled look on his face.

I started the car, and turned it around, heading back towards the regular paved road, a little peeved at how he'd tried to get me to answer his eight or two percent question.

"Kim?" he questioned as we traveled at snails pace back to the road.

"Yes, Jacob?" I asked, tapping my fingers along the steering wheel rhythmically.

It was silent for a few seconds. "You know how I asked the wolves a question?"

I nodded.

"There are werewolves in Yellowstone."

"Oh that's—WHAT?!"

You know how I'd told you that my life changed? That's the news that did it.
