Bella's POV
When Jacob was done chasing me, we decided to take a walk on the oiutskirts of Forks. It was sorta like a fairy world there...the frost had crusted up on the gross and trees so everything looked white and shiny and well...very movie-like. It seemed so fake, I even tripped on purpose just to see if it was real. Heh...spazzy, huh?
After we'd been walking for a while, we sat down and rested. I scooped up a bunch of frost in my hand and threw it at Jake's ear. It made contact and he must've jumped at least twelve feet in the air. I started laughing really hard. "Oh, so this is funny?" he said, genturing to his red ear. I continued laughing and nodded my head. I heard him stomping around in the frost and the next thing I knew, my entire face erupted in cold. I stopped laughing and wiped my eyes. Jacob was the one laughing this time.
"Oh, it's on." I said, lunging for his feet. I pulled them to the side and he toppled back to the ground. We were both laughing now, rolling around in frost. When we were finished cackling, we continued on our walk. We'd been walking again for maybe three minutes. That's when we ran into...Jasper.
Jasper's POV
I continued walking, wiping laughter tears from my eyes. This was downright hilarious. Ivy from the Groupies had showed up practically on a silver platter to him asking for Jacob. It was just...funny. And, of course, Bella and Jacob walkedp just then. I busted out laughing again. They looked at each other and then at me, as if they were concerned for my mental health - I would be, too. I randomly start laughing because two people walk up...pretty insane.
"Uh, Jas..." Bella said. "You okay?" I regained composure - again - and made my face solemn. "Yeah. I'm fine. Jacob, you'll never guess who I just ran into." He quirked an eyebrow. "Nah I probably won't. Care to tell me instead?" I smiled slightly. "Have you heard of the Groupies?"
"The freakish bloodsucker and wolf coven/Pack thing in Iowa? Yeah I've heard of it. Why?"
"Well did you hear about that girl - Ivy - who ran away from the Groupies to join your Pack?"
"Get to the point, Jasper." Bella said. "Yes I heard of her. We've been watching for her."
"Well...she just ran into me asking for you." I smiled crookedly and watched Jacob's jaw slacken. "You're serious." It wasn't a question. I nodded. "Holy shit!" Jacob started laughing. Today was a generally funny day, apparently. "And she left right before I walked up? That's jokes." He said "that's jokes" like "das jokes". Stupid wolves.
"Wow." Bella said, shaking her head. "Um, Jasper?" I looked at her. "Can I talk to you for a sec?" I almost gulped. "Sure." Jacob stopped laughing and looked from me to Bella. "I'll be fine, you overprotective goon." she said, shoving him aside. "Overprotective my foot...stupid vamps..." he grumbled, stomping away like an angry child. At heart, he probably was. All of those wolves probably were, too. I guess short tempers also ran in the Quiluette genes. Heh.
Jacob's POV
I stalked away from Bella and Jasper. Overprotective goon...you can't be overprotective with vamps. They're dangerous freaks of nature. Arguably, so were my kind. But we protected people from those beasts. We were the good guys. They've been killing people for centuries...and we've been killing them for centuries. It was a lose/win scenario.
What Bella would have to talk about with that thing was beyond me. Is there anything she knows better? Bella's like a child...always doing things despite people's - older people's (heh) - warnings. My mentally insane best friend/imprint. Fabulous.
I phased. I wanted to run.
Jakey boy! a voice in my head said. Awesome.
Quil, why are you always in my head?
Because some very interesting stuff goes on in there.
Fuck you.
I'll pass...that's Bella's job.
Yo, dude, shut the fuck up!
Haha...you're too easy to mess with, dude.
Dude...go fuck a tree.
There was fading laughter in my head and I knew Quil was leaving my brain. Thank God. The dude was way too frikkin' nosy. He invaded everyone's personal thoughts. It was annoying like hell. I was so gonna punch him the next time I saw him.
