Thanks for the reviews! They are really encouraging so I'm taking a break from studying and writing! Lol. Anyway… I want to give a shout out to Mephis85. I did the exact same thing last night with another story and got in trouble. Lol. So here goes the next chapter. It's in Jade's POV.
Jades POV
I had no trouble at all finding the freeway. There were signs everywhere guiding any tourist's way. Grocery this way, hospital that way. With a small town like this and not a lot of places, I didn't feel the need. I was a little lonesome in the car. The car ride up to Seattle from Phoenix was a long one, but at least I had people to talk to. Oh well. This could be fun. I loved hiking. There weren't that many trails in Phoenix, unless you count blocks upon blocks of sidewalk.
I remembered Edward's direction's clearly. Take exit 41 and turn left. Or was it right? No, no. It was left. Travel all the way down the road. When I got to the end of the road, I didn't see any other cars there. Hmm… I thought. Must not be very popular. I made sure my shoes were tied and set off. The trail wasn't too bad. Slightly uphill, but not too much. There were a lot of tree roots though, and I was glad Kitty or Sapphire didn't come. They would be tripping over the roots. I laughed to myself.
I couldn't remember how long the trail was. Actually, I couldn't remember there being a sign marking the trail. I brushed it off. I was just preoccupied. Thinking about other things. Bella getting married. Our Bella. At eighteen. That's just a year younger than when her mother got married. That turned out great. But I could see the love between Edward and Bella. It was powerful; I could almost feel it.
Edward. There was something different about him. There was something different about all of the Cullens. They all looked different, yet exactly alike. Pale skin, a little purple under their eyes. Didn't Bella say they were all adopted? Maybe it was just makeup. That couldn't be it. Bella would never date someone who wore more makeup than her. Of course, Bella never dated before. Their eyes. All the same color of topaz. There was definitely something there that I was just missing. It seemed like I should get it. Like it's right under my nose.
I heard a rustle of leaves and instantly whipped my head around. There was nothing there. Just a squirrel probably, I thought to myself, and walked on. Time seemed to pass by quickly. When I looked at my watch I saw that two hours had passed. I started to worry. Trails never took more than an hour and a half for me, no matter how long they were. I should've heard the waterfall now. I looked around me and noticed the trail was gone.
When did I walk off the trail? I wondered. Where is a tree? That was a Kitty question. Where is a tree with moss? That's a better question. Moss always points north. I knew to get back to the car, I had to go southwest. I wasn't going to panic. Panicking always made things worse. Another good reason I didn't bring Kitty and Sapphire. They would be crying for their mommies. I found a tree covered in moss. Ok, now I can find my way back.
I heard another rustle and again turned to see where the noise was. This time there wasn't a squirrel. It was a big gray wolf. Or was it a wolf? It was huge. It hadn't noticed me so I stood very still, trying not to make any noise. I couldn't tell, but it looked mad. Do wolves have feelings? I decided that I had to move away.
Very slowly and stealthily I took my first step back. it didn't notice anything. I took my second step. SNAP! Oh crap! I stepped on a twig. I looked up and saw the wolf staring at me. Its eyes were red. I tried to scream, but it was caught in my throat. I took a step back and the wolf sprang.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" My voice came back. All of a sudden I felt myself jerk and got pushed to the side. I saw my savior. It was Edward.
"Stay here." He
warned me. He jumped up and started fighting with the wolf. It
was the scariest thing I have ever seen in my life. I thought the
wolf would rip Edward to shreds. But Edward was fighting like the
wolf was no worry at all. I heard some more leaves rustling and
behind the gray wolf were five other giant wolves varying in color.
They all attacked Edward.
"Stop!" I cried, with tears down
my face, knowing that they wouldn't be able to understand. I looked
away. I could hear the snarls and teeth snapping coming from the
animals. Then I had hope. I saw Emmett and Jasper come through the
trees, shortly followed by Alice, giving Bella a piggyback ride. How
could a girl that small carry Bella?
"Jake! Stop!" Bella yelled at the wolves. "Stop it!" One of the wolves looked up and stared at her. "Please. I'm begging you. Just let it go." The wolf that was looking at her walked up to her and sat down on in front of her. The other wolves stopped what they were doing. Edward didn't look hurt at all. "Thank you Jake." She patted the wolf's head.
"Bella," Edward said, "We have to get going. We are on Quileute land."
"Bye Jake. I'll call you soon." I was sitting there that whole time confused. "Come on Jade. We'll explain everything in the car." I sat there motionless, still freaked out. I finally broke down. I started shaking all over, even tough I wasn't cold. I felt someone pick me up, I couldn't tell who, and a very short time later, we were at my car again.
"She's in no condition to drive." I heard Bella say. "I'll drive her back and try to explain everything in as little detail as possible." The person who was carrying me put me in my car in buckled me in. I was still shaking. "Jade…" Bella started.
"I'm in no condition to listen right now." I said a little colder than I wanted it to sound.
"Oh, I understand." She sounded hurt.
Sorry it was a short chapter. But I promise the next one will be good. Please review. If you have any suggestions, give them to me. I will gladly take them. If I can I will reply to your reviews.
