Chapter 4
Running
Jacob's POV
"Nessie, I swear to every one of my people's Gods, if you answer that phone I will kill you." I couldn't do anything but mumble. I was so exhausted from this little minx's sexual mind tricks I could barely from sentences. All I knew was that the wolf in me was exhausted and just wanted to sleep. The ringing of a fucking cell phone was preventing that. Why do people feel the need to interrupt my sex high?
"Jake, it's Alice. You know she wouldn't be calling if it wasn't important."
As much as I hated it I knew she was right.
"Nessie, as much as I love your family, I fucking hate them right now. Give me the fucking phone. "
She replied and I could tell I was going to have to apologize for how I was speaking to her. Nessie was a lot of things, but submissive was far from them. She had a temper that could only be rivaled by her mother. In other words, she was far from a pussy. She would have her moments of weakness, but almost nothing scared her. That's one of the reasons I loved her. That and the look she was giving me made me want to apologize quickly.
"Alice, what is it."
"Jake! What the hell took you so long?" Alice was literally screaming through the phone. I swear I could hear her from Forks. "You and Nessie have to leave right now. I think someone is following you but I can't tell who or what it is yet."
I was suddenly more alert than I had been in the last 20 minutes.
"What do you mean that you can see Alice, that's what the fuck you do!" I snapped jumping out of the bed.
"Jake, what's going on?" Nessie's eyes were piecing through me as she searched for an answer. I knew she heard. I think that she just didn't want to process the fact that her life was about to be grandly fucked up again. Would we ever just get to be happy?
"You guys have like two hours to get the hell out of there because I can't even catch glimpses of you two after that. MOVE! NOW!" Alice barked orders before the line went completely dead.
I stared at the phone blankly. Wait, I don't have time to sit on my ass like an idiot. I had to protect my wife and we only had two hours before whatever was coming after us was here so I had to move at wolf speed to get us the hell out of here.
I threw Ness her clothes and struggled into my sweat pants. She was talking and I really couldn't hear anything that she was saying. I knew we didn't have time for this but when I noticed she was sitting still I had to indulge her.
"Jacob William Black, what the hell is going on?" She had that look that let me know that this was not a time for arguing but for answers. Why did she pick now of all times to be stubborn?
"Alice says we have two hours to get out of here. There is something coming after us and we have to move like yesterday. Now get your ass out of that bed, help me grab our shit and let's get the fuck outta here." My tone was more Alpha than it should have been, but I was willing to apologize later when I knew she was safe.
This time she wasn't so idle. She was moving faster than me, and within five minutes we were packed and ready to go.
I threw our stuff into the back of the boat and speed towards the mainland. We hailed a taxi while Ness spoke to the driver in some language I was sure I would never learn. We were at the airport in minutes.
I decided to call Alice and see where the best place for us to go was.
"Alice, where are we supposed to go?" I was beyond being calm at this point was about 2 seconds away from phasing.
"Jacob just get on the next plane leaving the airport and call me when you land." Alice was also moving very quickly. I could hear the wind whipping in the trees behind her. "We will find you when you call with your location. Don't call us until you know that you are somewhere safe. Take care of her Jacob."
She didn't say anything else. I ran to the nearest ticket desk to do what Alice instructed.
Nessie was scared but she wouldn't show it if her life depended on it. That's my girl, always facing whatever came at her with a brave face. I don't think I have ever seen her more frighteningly beautiful.
"Ness, babe I need you to get our tickets on the next thing out of here can you do that?" I asked in a way that was way more demanding than it should have been. Great, something else for me to apologize for. At this rate I would be doing that for the rest of my life, however long that would be this time. This whole running and fighting thing was really starting to piss me off.
"Sure, sure." Her reply showed me just how much that her resolve was beginning to waver. We were just fucking like bunnies and now we were on the run. There was no way to time her break down, but it would soon and it would be violent.
She shook her head as if to displace her anxiety. The grace in which she approached the counter did well to hide her true feelings.
"Preciso de dois bilhetes para o próximo vôo para fora, por favor. Eu não me importo para onde está indo, mas realmente precisamos de deixar como agora!"
I need two tickets on the next flight out please. I don't care where it's going, but we really need to leave like NOW! She spoke in a perfect Portuguese accent. Her lack of patience was spewing out of her voice with a vengeance.
The ticket clerk had little time to recover before she was checking the flight planes. When she finally spoke it was too slow for the hurry we were in. "Há dois vôos para deixar em 5 minutos. Não existe uma rubrica para Atlanta e outro em direção a Las Vegas. Qual você prefere"
"There are two flights leaving in to 5 minutes. There is one heading to Atlanta and another heading to Las Vegas. Which would you prefer?"
We could have run somewhere faster than this, but that would have left a trail. I couldn't let what was following us catch our scent. I didn't know how many there were so, fighting alone was out of the question. I would make sure to phase as soon as we got somewhere safe. Vegas was out. There was no cloud coverage and there were no trees for me to phase in so it looks like we are heading to the Peach State.
"Atlanta!" We said at the same time. The slow lady printed our tickets and we rushed through the terminal towards the gate. We made the final boarding call and rushed to take our seats.
"Jake I really don't know how much more of this I can take. If it's not some random new born army trying to kill my family, it's the Volturi. I can't keep living my life like this. Will we ever get to just peacefully exist?" Nessie was so close to cracking. I couldn't answer her, I just held her until she finished crying a few minutes later.
For the first time in her life she was asking me a question I couldn't answer. So much for being her fearless protector.
I was scared shitless. I had no other way to place what emotions that were running through me.
What was I supposed to tell my wife? "Gee, babe I don't know why this keeps happening to us, but I promise that it will never happen again." Hell that was bullshit and I knew it. I wasn't going to lie to her so I chose silence.
Someone would always be after us. We both knew this. We were no strangers to danger. I knew Ness could handle herself but she was still more fragile than she liked to let on.
"Get some sleep, I will let you know when we land. We may have to keep running but I think we have a few days until we move again." I whispered in her hair. She was out before I finished my sentence. She was exhausted and it was way more than physical.
I stayed awake the entire flight. It was late morning when we landed in Hartsfield International Airport.
"Ness wake up we're here. " She shuffled and began to slowly wake herself up.
"Jake where the hell are we and why the hell is it so bright?" she stated with a hint of anger. Here we were running for our lives and she was wondering about the weather.
"We're in Atlanta Ness. It's always bright here." I kissed her to put her at some ease. "Come on I here this place is like a mini city so we won't have to leave for awhile. I know you're hungry. Let's eat and figure out what our next move is."
I had no clue what would happen next or when we would have to move again. There was only one thing that was certain, I had to keep Nessie safe at all costs.
There was only one question that stuck in my head, "How the fuck am I going to pull it off this time?"
