Chapter Four


Jacob Black

Nessie. Nessie. Nessie. That is all I could think about, it was only her second day at school today and I already felt as if my heart was being ripped from my chest. I guess it could be because I spent so much time with her. Nessie meant so much to me, she was like a sister, more than a sister. I couldn't help but let my mind trail to the future, thinking of how our feelings would evidently change towards each other. Slowly moulding into something that would possibly mean we would be in love, having children, getting married... But now was not the time to think about the future, I was a more in the moment type of guy. I wasn't a worrier. For now Nessie was a fun-loving little girl and that is all I saw her as.

I sat on the bench feeling somewhat angry at myself, maybe I should distance myself from her more, but that would be dreadful for us both. I needed to get my mind off this, I needed to think about stuff. I needed to run.

I stood up, walking from the Cullen house. Rosalie gave me that look again. The one to say I was going insane. I guess she was right this time in a round-about way. I took off, slamming the door a little too hard, but nothing that would make me sound too mad.

I stopped running about a mile south of the Cullen house, when I was sure nobody was around, I quickly whipped my clothes off and shifted into a wolf.

Hey, Jake! came the happy chirp from Seth.

Shut up Seth! Came the three other wolves on patrol. Quil, Embry and Leah clearly were getting pissed off at Seth.

Where are you guys? I asked hoping they were close.

About three miles north west of La Push. There was a trail, but we've lost it. Leah informed me.

I'm on my way, don't move or lose the end of the trail! I ordered my pack.

I began to run through the under growth, it passed in a blur of green and brown. I ran through the pass of small mountains that bordered the edge of La Push, then I smelled it. The trail, it must have being. I began running faster and as my Pack came into view, I noticed the trail was getting les noticeable as well.

Told you. Leah said being her usual cocky self.

I sniffed around, Finding nothing. Keep searching! I yelled mentally. We must have being sniffing around for what seemed like hours, and then Seth howled.

Jake! Jake! I smell the vampire smell in the trees!

I smelled into the trees like he said, sure enough, the vampire had resorted to travelling by tree. We ran, following the new lead, sniff, follow, sniff, and follow. The trails lead us to a small shack. Around it was the putrid smell of decomposing flesh. I stepped closer, and from inside the house a scream pierced the air. That made us attack, the shack was large enough to house a number of bodies and a vampire, the creature had ruby red eyes and a young woman, not older than 25 laid in his arms, dead and her throat was ripped out. I snarled at the vampire and it dropped the woman. I jumped, wrapping my jaws around the vampires torso and ripping in in half.

Seth, get changed and set the shack on fire. I turned and saw another room. More bodies, my mind whispered.

I trotted out of the shack and the others were dressed, Leah was nowhere in sight, I presumed she was getting dressed somewhere else. I quickly shifted and pulled on my sweats. The smell was horrid and I made it a mission to not breath through my nose, but the smell was that terrible you could almost taste it. I grimaced at the thought of tasting human flesh.

Leah walked around the shack, fully clothed. "Jake, you may want to take a look at this."

I walked around the shack, a window, dusted and cracked lay on the side, and to my surprise, in the room an older woman, maybe about 28 was curled up in a foetal position, but she was breathing, and that meant she was alive.

I stormed into the shack again, and into the room where the woman was, she gasped, and looked up. "You're safe now, what's your name?"

"Who are you?" She asked, her pretty face dirty and her tone like death.

"I'm Jacob black; I'm the one who just saved your life."

"You killed him? The... the vampire?" She asked.

"Yes, I have, now what is your name?" I asked again.

"My name is Lisa. And how?" She looked relieved and her tone of voice had changed. She sat up, and I noticed something, her torso was rounded, not with fat, but with the conception of a new life.

"I'm a werewolf, but where the good guys dedicated to saving human life. How far gone are you?" I asked.

The woman touched her stomach and looked at me.

"A week maybe, That vile creature raped me and now I'm pregnant with his spawn."

"No, this can't be happening, not again." I said, and she frowned.

"I'm going to die aren't I?" She said, calmly.

"I'm going to take you to some more vampires, there good ones, they only eat animals, they know how to deal with vampire pregnancies." I said, shaking my head.

"I'm not killing my baby."

"I mean they may find some way you can survive without the killing the baby." I stated, she began to stand and then huffed.

"Take me to these vampires then." She reached out her hand and I pulled her up, picking her up into my arms and pulling her close so she couldn't move. I ran out of the house as the others began to set it on fire. I ran through the undergrowth again in human form, slower this time, but it only took 15 minutes to get to the house, and before I knew it, Edward was outside with a look of dread on his face.
