Jenna and the stranger sat that for what seemed like forever, staring lovingly into each others brown eyes. I finally decided it was time to break up this love duo, and I heard Travis come out from behind me. "Why is Jenna being held by a tan person with no shirt and a six-pack?" I emit a small giggle and jump off the roof, which would probably break a regular persons legs. "Okay you two, time to break this thing up. We have some big secrets to exchange about ourselves."
For some reason I already trusted odd this stranger, but I wasn't quite sure why. I mean, he's a werewolf like Jenna, or so it seems like he is. Unless he's some cross-breed and not like Jenna at all. And like he'll actually tell someone about us, and if he did, who would believe him? A secret for a secret.
The two lovers were totally ignoring me standing there, so I used some of my mind control on stranger guy for him to set Jenna on the ground at least, hoping she wouldn't pick up on his thoughts and know I made him put her down. I would never hear the end of it, and I'd probably get a few bruises. Or bites.
Too late. She shot me a dirty, I'm-gonna-kill-you-when-he's-gone look and I knew what was coming later on. But for now I'm pretty safe.
I led the stranger into the house, wincing when I realized some blood was still on the door from earlier. I'll have to clean that off as soon as I get the chance.
We went into the living room and took a seat, Jenna sitting right next to him on the love seat, Jacob and I sharing the recliner, I was sitting on his lap, and Travis sprawled out on the white couch.
The stranger finally took his eyes off of Jenna, and looked at us and opened his mouth to speak. "I'm Jacob Black." My Jacob turned his head at the sound of his own name.
"What are you guys anyways? Part bird part human?"
I look at my Jacob and smile. "You can say that."
So then we start exchanging secrets, starting from the beginning about how we were orphans and ended up in a "special" orphanage, and become tightly knit and escaped together.
Then he told us how he's from La Push and is in a wolf tribe, and how he came to be a wolf. I could tell he wanted to tell something more, but I wasn't gonna pressure about it until later, because it seemed like it could affect us. I knew Jenna could read something in his thoughts because she shifted uncomfortably on the couch, and her facial expressions suddenly turned curious, but almost scared. I passed it off for now.
I realized him and Jenna were holding hands. This is really bugging me, what went on between them that made them ga-ga for each other, not even an hour after the met? It made no sense to me, yet again I crushed on my Jacob since the second I met him. But not like this, they look like they've been together for years and know every detail about each other.
"Oh, it's really late. I need to get back to tell the others you guys aren't a threat or anything, and are just oversized birds." He gave a little wink.
Jenna's face suddenly fell, and her eyes clouded over, like she was gonna cry. New Jacob picked up her chin and whispered in her ear, "Come home with me for tonight. It will be okay. I promise. I'm not leaving you" And at that, Jenna sprang up with a bouncy delight and says, "Well, see you all tomorrow!"
New Jacob shrugs his shoulders and follows Jenna out the door, into the night. We all exchange glances, sensing the sense of curiosity and wonder in our looks, and the surprise of the sudden departure.
It will just have to wait until tomorrow, when we have more time.
We all got up and said our goodnights, and went to our bedrooms to sleep once more. To my surprise, Jacob gave me a goodnight hug, which he never usually does.
"Goodnight Shannan. Again." And he walked into his room, and shut the door.
I smiled sheepishly at Travis because he was giving me a what-was-that kind of look. I shrugged my shoulders, and I could tell in his eyes that he was gonna tease us about this later.
I opened my door and walked in, closing it behind me.
I started wondering about the possibilities of what Jenna and the new Jacob were doing together. I'm gonna bombard her with questions about it tomorrow, and probably joke around and be a motherly figure and give her the unmentionable sex talk. I'm sure Travis was thinking the same exact thing I was at the moment.
I laid down, trying my best to fall asleep. My attempts were unsuccessful, though. I got up and paced around the room, thinking about the events today. From the pop accident, to the kiss, to the stranger wolf.
I started tracing the contours of my painted mural of my family, but mostly on the painting of Jacob. I stopped, trying to take my mind off of these things.
I laid back down again, and this time the sleep came quickly and naturally.
