Hey everyone, finally chapter 8 is up! YAY! This chapter is going to be in Jacob's POV. The next might be in Shea's, haven't decided yet. Well, enjoy! XD *****BTW HAD TO CLEAR THIS UP CAUSE I'VE BEEN GETTING ASKED QUITE A FEW TIMES, ITALICS ARE DIALOGUE IN JACOB'S HEAD THAT EDWARD RESPONDS TO. NOT ALL OF HIS THOUGHTS ARE IN ITALICS BECAUSE EDWARD DOESN'T RESPOND TO ALL OF IT*****
"REALLY BLACK? ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE THAT BACK?" The leech spewed out.
"UH LET ME THINK…..HOW ABOUT NO, AND I DEFINIETLY DON'T WANT TO TAKE THIS BACK EITHER. I DON'T REGRET MY CHOICES UNLIKE SOMEONE I KNOW." And with that I transformed into the monster I am. The monster I always wished I wasn't, until today. Ironic how the day I finally accept myself is the day I become someone completely different. Chairs flew; I knocked the table over and shattered dishes and glasses. But I didn't care, I wasn't big enough to completely wreck their whole house and Edward was going to regret his existence. Bella ran over to him, "Edward, stop." She tried to calm him. He wouldn't budge. "Alice, take Bella upstairs please" Carlisle insisted. I leaped forward and bared my large wolf teeth at him. He got in that stupid vampire stance that I always laugh at on the inside. It's ridiculous.
"I'm really intimidated. Look's more like you're trying to salsa with me than bash my face in" I laughed wildly inside my head.
Edward hissed at me and flailed forward but Carlisle pushed him back before he could even put a scratch on me.
"Alright, alright. Jake, take it outside." Carlisle ordered me very assertively. "Edward I'd like you see you in the den. Now."
"ha, ha, ha haaa haaaa you're gunna get it now." I thought.
Edward glared at me.
I glanced at Shea before I walked outside. She was standing so gracefully against the island smiling at me, it made me smile back. As I started to walk again I heard her say something faintly.
"Wait." She started towards me. I was nervous now because I didn't want to hurt her. It's just one of my peeves, being near an innocent human in wolf form you know, always reminds me of what Sam accidently did to Emily. It was a mistake but he'll have to live it the rest of his life. Then I remembered she's not fully human anymore.
She came up beside me, and slowly but surely she lifted her porcelain hand, and touched my mane. I really think she got some kind of kick out of this, I mean normally if someone saw a a wolf twice as large as a bear standing in someone's kitchen they would have been half way down the street already. But she was enjoying it, she wasn't the least bit scared and I loved this about her. I hate to make the comparison, but it's another trait that reminds me of Bells.
"Sorry…. had to." She giggled and went back to sit down on the stool.
Grinning my wolfy grin and shaking my head I stepped outside and transformed back into my normal self. Trouble is now…I have no clothes. Shit. What do I do? I supposed I could cover my, uh…..manhood? and make my way inside. Might be a little awkward, but also might intimidate poor "Eddie", hah, he wishes he had a body this nice. What to do, what to do. As I was weighing the pros and cons a pair of shorts flew through the air and I caught them at what seems like light speed. Wow. The vamp in me has given me super speed when not in wolf form. I like it.
"Thought you might need those" Emmett chuckled from the woods. He was about to go on a hunt. Ugh, just the thought of him taking down some poor deer or an innocent mountain lion and sucking it dry makes me want to blow chunks. I really, really hope I can survive without blood.
I slipped through the door and sure enough, just my luck, Edward was back in the room, and talking to Shea. The hell does he think he's doing? I could see Bella in the living room talking to Esme and Alice from the kitchen. Why isn't he over there with his precious "fiancée"?
"You're really getting on my last nerve. Shouldn't have hesitated, should have just pounced on your pale ass and ripped you to shreds."
"Don't worry, it will all just take some getting used to." I heard Edward say to Shea as he got off the stool next to her.
"Not like you would have done anything anyways, Black. You wouldn't hurt her like that." He glanced at Bella, and chuckled while walking out of the room.
"Try me." I muttered. He just laughed and walked down the hall. "That's what I thought."
"No you didn't, I would have heard you." He shouted from down the hall.
"Was that supposed to be a sad attempt for a joke? Because it wasn't funny at all." I shouted back.
Rolling my eyes, I sat down on the stool next to Shea. She looked sort of disappointed in me. I mean I know I've only known her for what, like 4 hours? But I was really good at reading into people, one of my strong points. One of the reasons I would have been a great leader to the pack.
I glanced at her from the corner of my eye, she was staring at me, face in the palm of her hand. She was going to say something about my feud with Edward. I just knew it. Suddenly she broke the silence.
"Jake…you know, Edward's really not all that bad if you actual have a real conversation with him. That you know, um, doesn't have anything to do with Bella? You could try that sometime."
I just stared at her back. I'm pretty sure my facial expression was somewhere in between, "What are you on?" and "You've got to be kidding me, another one has fallen for Edward." She has definitely got to be joking.
"I'm being serious, you know." She said with a scowl.
"Thanks for clearing that up, cause I mean, I was debating if that was sarcasm or not."
"Trust me Jake, he's nice and if he's good to her I think you shouldn't want anyone else for Bella, besides yourself, than him." She said getting up and heading towards the back door. I followed her out.
"Maybe…." I pondered it for a while. "He might be good to her but still think he's a total douche." I said walking through the grass with her.
She laughed. "Yeah…he is a little queer isn't he?"
I chuckled, finally someone, a female to be exact that agrees with me. "A little…?" I said. She smiled at me. Ugh that beautiful smile, it beams. I've known her for barely a day but when she smiles at you the way she does it's like the whole world stops except for, in that place at that time.
I grinned right back at her hoping I'll never have to see her stop smiling. Ever. I felt something cold grab my hand. It felt nice against my blazing skin. At least I still had that feature after the transformation. She's holding my hand. I wanted to explode inside but I kept my cool. I grabbed hers right back. I wanted her to know I was alive, I wasn't lifeless. I was animate, and most of all, that I wasn't against getting close like Edward. I mean I guess he's gotten over his fear of hurting Bella a little bit but their relationship still has a restraint, and that's something Bella didn't have to have with me. Limitation. I was free to do whatever I pleased in my human form without the risk of hurting someone and that was something I always have gave as a reason as why I would be better fit for Bella and I intend to keep letting him know that. Even if it's not to convince him I should be with her, just to let him know I had something he didn't. Yes, I really did hate him that much. But I guess all in all it really didn't matter; she'd be damned for all eternity soon.
"Want to know something?" Shea said lightly.
"Sure, what is it?" I replied, lost in my thoughts.
"I'm sure this sounds kind of odd, but I'm actually kind of glad this all worked out the way it did. I mean if I would have had to become half vampire in the future, I wouldn't have had it any other way."
"Why?" I cluelessly questioned. Don't think anybody would have that on the top of their to-do list.
"Because…" she stopped and thought about how to word this. I gazed at her now, she was being serious. "Because I'm here with you right now, Jake. I wouldn't want to be with anyone else." She admitted.
I smiled and looked down. "Me eith-" I was cut off.
"JAKE! SHEA! Can you please come inside? We need to talk! It's extremely important!" Carlisle yelled from the back door.
He totally ruined a moment, but I guess when you think about it, Shea and I will have many more together that leeches can't screw up.
…..Damn keep forgetting I'm part vampire now, must stop insulting myself.
