Chapter 7:
Paul POV
I unwrapped my arms from around Nessie and jogged into the forest to shift into my wolf form. Immediately, I heard Sam's voice come into my head through the packs mind connection, which we call the 'voice.'
Paul, what's wrong? And why are you back? Sam asked concerned.
Rachel wanted to move back closer to her father and I had trouble containing the wolf within. I replied. But that's not important now. Something's wrong with Nessie. I need to get in touch with Jacob.
What happened?
I don't know. She won't talk. But when she does she starts crying.
Ok. I'm heading home to dinner with Emily. I'll call him.
Thanks.
Now go comfort her, she needs her soon to be brother-in-law. And stay in wolf form, so we can talk to him if he changes. Sam ordered.
Aye, aye Alpha. I joked.
When I ran back to Nessie on all fours, she was sitting on a tree stump facing the road, waiting for me. She was leaned over, her elbows were resting on her knees, her head in her palms, and her fingers wound through her hair. She looked like she was deep in thought.
When I reached her, I poked my wet nose into her back, to let her know I was here. I could tell she was scared. When I nudged her, she jumped off the stump and turned to look at me with fear expressed all throughout her face.
Just then, Sam came back into my head along with Jacob on his 'other line.'
Paul, I told Jacob there is something wrong with Nessie. He wants to know what it is and what he needs to do to help. Should he come and get her? Sam asked in a business tone.
To explain to Sam what happened, so he could tell Jake, I showed him my memory of how I found her walking along the forest crying. She was dragging her feet and was constantly wiping her eyes. When she heard me in the forest, the first time she froze stiff. Then when I returned as a man, she ran away frightened, until she tripped and fell forward on her face. I ran to her to help her up and make sure everything was ok. She asked me questions, trying to avoid the most important at the time; if she was okay. Then, suddenly, she broke out into tears and I ran for help.
So Sam, tell him I really don't know what's going on. And I'll bring her to him at his house. Have him meet up in his forest. We'll be there in ten.
Jacob says 'thank you.' Sam passed along.
Tell him, 'she's practically family.' I concluded.
I touched my nose to her hand and then pointed it to the forest to tell her I was going to transform back. When I came back to her, she had her arms wrapped tight around her chest, the way Bella did when Edward left her for that period of time.
"Alright Ness, I told Jake and Sam I'd have you in La Push in ten. So come here," I opened my arms wide. "I'm going to carry you so we get there one time."
She looked at me with a look that asked 'are you serious?'
I nodded my head, answering her nonofficial question.
She walked towards me and I picked her up with my hands around her waist. I carried her just like I carried my two-year-old son, Mason. She wrapped her arms around my neck and nuzzled her head into my shoulder, probably trying to keep herself from sobbing some more.
~*~ what will happen next? ~*~
