Sorry it's been so freaking long since I've written. I don't even have a good excuse. School and such. Sorry, I'll try and make up for it. ~Kaitie333

Chapter 7

I was so pissed. So pissed that I had miscalculated. I was really looking forward to ripping a certain Christi apart. But nooooo, because Seth had had more of a head start then I had thought and by now the practically the whole pack was here.

Except Jake and the guys who had been with him. But they should be here any second.

So for now I was glaring with all that I had at the enemy, the spawn of Satan, Christi herself. The Pack had created a wall between us, protecting he, so that was unfortunately all that I could do.

I sighed and started to stand up, but Sam and Seth shoved me back down…again.

Which is when Paul's voice announced the return of the only absent wolves, including Jake.

"You know, Jake, I never had girls fighting over me. I don't get why you're all worked up. Seriously, man, its like a dream come true," he was saying.

I tried to stand up again when I saw Jake, but once again I was pushed back by Sam and Seth. "Jake, make them let me up," I said exasperatedly with just a hint of fury. It was quite a nice effect, if I do say so myself.

Jake looked nervously back and forth between me and Christi. My mouth popped open in disbelief. "C'mon, Jake, you know me. I won't kill her," I smirked a little, "not that I don't want to, but you know I'm not strong enough to fight all of you off. I probably could get no closer than five feet away."

Quil snorted. "Well that's insulting and I'm taking it as a challenge. I bet you can't even get within ten feet of her."

Jake sighed and said, "Okay, but I seriously do not know what to do with you two. The only thing I can do is make myself very clear when I say, Christi, Nessie is under the impression that you have feelings for me that may surpass the sibling bond that should exist between us and if this is true I must inform you that I could never return such feelings as I am most undoubtedly in love with Nessie. And, Nessie, as you can clearly observe I have made my feelings quite clear to Christi so will you PLEASE let this go!"

There was a slight pause ended by Quil muttering, "Wow, Jake, that may have been the most gay thing you have every said. But hey if that works for you… I mean, I've heard that chicks dig that kind of mushy stuff, but Claire is only five so its not like I would know."

Jake almost smiled and said, "Quil, will you please shut up. Now is not the best time."

"Hey, I was just trying to lighten the mood. I mean, its not my fault that you decided to have a relationship talk in front of the entire Pack, making everything all awkward…"

"You would have all heard about it later anyway," Jake replied with exasperation.

"Yeah. After the fact. Not during the whole awkward, embarrassing situation."

"QUIL, SHUT UP!" Jake and I yelled at the same time.

"Jeez, tough crowd," Quil muttered almost inaudible.

"Jake," I said carefully, keeping myself in check, " I am willing to let this whole thing go. On one condition. The she-devil agrees to backing the heck off!" I think I did pretty well with the whole anger thing, excluding that little end tidbit.

All eyes turned to Christi. Who promptly ran off into the woods and returned as a wolf.

"Oh that's just freakin' great!" I complained, "she tries to calm me down by turning into a form in which I can not understand what she's saying. Just perfect!"

"Ness, she's just embarrassed. I can't understand her in this form either. Even if I change to my wolf form. Different Packs, you know. But some of the other guys are gonna change and see what she has to say," Jake explained.

I waited patiently in silence. I was surprised that Jake wasn't mad at me so I was acting especially good, though I'm not sure it was immediately obvious. Finally Elizabeth changed and talked to Christi and then finally changed back and said, "She agrees and wanted me to tell you she's sorry and stuff." You could tell from the tone of voice and attitude that I was definitely the enemy to the female werewolves, but, you know, I was okay with that.

"Finally, its over! Now let us never speak about this again!" Quil called happily.

Later on, after the group had dispersed and it was just Jake and I he turned to me and asked, "So are you happy now, Nessie?"

I pretended to think it over. "Happy? I dunno. She still has all four limbs. Content? Yeah, I guess I'm that one."

Jake smiled and said jokingly, "Good because putting up with an angry you is almost too much for one person to bear."

He wrapped his arms around me and we danced to imaginary music. The he kissed me gently and when we pulled apart I whispered against his chest, "I'm happy now."
