Ah, chapter ten! If you haven't noticed there are three chapters with names: one tequila, two tequila, and three tequila. So you shouldn't be surprised that this chapter is named: Floor. Hope you enjoy!
And just so we are clear. I do not own Twilight. If I did Jacob Black would be chained to my bed.
Bella's POV
We laid there on the blanket for a while. Jacob had rolled to his back and I curled up next to him, my head on his chest. We laid there together looking up at the night sky, talking. I knew he was taken by surprised when I kissed him back so passionately. I know I had said I wasn't ready for a relationship, but it was getting harder and harder for me not to kiss him, touch him, or simply be with him. I felt pulled to him. And I knew in my heart of hearts that I didn't have to worry about getting hurt again, or hurting him. I was his imprint. We would be together always.
It felt so nice to just to be laying there in his arms. I felt like a part of me was missing when I wasn't with him. And it was almost painful when we were together but he wasn't touching me. I would have to ask Emily or one of the other imprints about it, because I had a feeling all of these emotions had something to do with imprinting.
We hadn't been laying there long when we heard a lot of commotion in the house. Someone appeared at the door.
"Jake, you got to come in here man, Paul and Seth are at it again."
Jake sighed and rolled his eyes. He got up and bent down to give me a kiss. "I'll be back in a few babe, Paul likes to push Seth's buttons and then they start fighting, we have to stop them because Paul is such a hot head he might phase with people around and Seth is still so new at it he usually phases the minute we get him out of the house."
I nodded. "I think I'm going to take a little walk on the beach. Meet me out there." I jerked my head to the little path through the back yard that led to the beach. It was a nice night, kind of chilly so I would wrap the blanket around me. But I really wanted to walk for a bit.
Jake nodded and the headed into the house. I could hear people yelling and things breaking. I shook my head. Hot headed wolf boys.
I got up and shook out the blanket, then folded it in half and wrapped it around my shoulders. I followed the path down to Second Beach. It was a beautiful moon lit night. And while it was the end of September the weather had been unusually mild. I walked for a while, the glow of the lights of the house still in sight. I found a drift wood log and decided to sit down and wait for Jake. I wrapped the blanket tighter around my shoulders and stared out at the water. The sound of the gentle waves hitting the shore was calming. But then I had that feeling, you know the one when someone is behind you staring at you. So I whipped around, expecting to find Jake.
It wasn't Jake
"Bella, we meet again." Laurent's lips turned up in a sneer. He sniffed the air. "Just as intoxicating as I remember too, other than that smell of dog, but I am hungry enough that it won't bother me."
I gulped and stood up looking towards the house. I knew better than to run, he could out run me, and then it would just be a game to him if I tried.
"I am surprised to find you so unprotected. Where is your vampire family when you really need them?"
"They left me."
"Left you? So you are no longer with the boy?"
I shook my head.
"Hmm and Victoria was so looking forward to killing you to hurt the boy. Since he did kill her mate. A mate for a mate. Not that it matters anyway. A free meal is a free meal." He advanced towards me. "You actually should be thankful that I found you Bella. Victoria was planning to torture you."
He grabbed my arm and I screamed. I struggled against him even though I knew it was of no use.
"No Bella don't make this any harder on yourself. It will be quick with me." He pulled me close to him and smelled me. "Mmmm, you really do smell delic.....What?"
He looked over his shoulder like he had heard something. "I cant believe it. Those stupid dogs."
All of a sudden from out of nowhere came four giant wolves. Having been surprised, Laurent momentarily let his guard down and released my arm. I bolted away, not getting very far as I tripped over the log I had been sitting on and crashed down. Then everything went black.
Jacob's POV
I was pissed. Bella and I were having a lovely private moment by the fire pit and Seth and Paul have to get into it again! Paul is an asshole and enjoys nothing more than saying shit about people. He knows it really pisses Seth off when he says something nasty about Leah. Leah can be a real bitch and when we phase she likes to torture us with her thoughts. But then Paul takes it too far when he has been drinking and Seth gets all protective. And then we end up having to drag the two out of the house. Because Paul never fails to phase every single fucking time. So Seth phases to go after him, and then some of us have to phase to settle them down, and some of us have to stay and keep people from going outside. It's just a big stupid mess.
But tonight it turned out that Paul's big mouth and bad temper were beneficial We had been tracking those two leeches for weeks. Tonight Collin and Brady were running patrols. No sooner had we phased when we were met by their thoughts. And the smell. The sickly sweet smell of vampire.
LEEEEEEECHHHHHHHH!! Brady's mind shouted. We could smell it, the male, Laurent. It made us all growl and track the sent. It was one thing to chase leeches around Forks, but when they stepped foot on our land it was even worse. We were the protectors of out people. We had chased those leeches all day yesterday and thought we had driven them away for now. But that red-haired bitch was being well a bitch.
Guys I smell the male down near the beach. Paul was the furthest out from the house and picked up the scent. My heart started racing.
Oh my god Bella went down to walk on the beach. I ran as fast as I could toward the beach, Quil right at my heals. I could see through their thoughts that Sam and Paul were close. We could hear the leech talking to Bella.
Apparently they had met before when she was with the Cullen's. I cursed. I was so angry, angry that they had left her with this mess now. And from what this leech was saying the red-haired one, Victoria was after Bella because stupid fucking Edward Cullen had killed her mate.
Bella was screaming and as we approached we saw that the leech had her, ready to bite. He never got the chance. In his surprised he dropped Bella's arm and she raced to get away from him. I pounced on him as did Paul. The leech jumped and swung and growled at us. But there were four of us and only one of him. It didn't take us long to take him down. I looked to find Bella.
She had tripped over a drift wood log and had fallen down. She was laying on the beach, unconscious Terror built up inside of me and I ran over to her, still in wolf form. I nudged her with my nose. I would have phased back, but I didn't have any clothes. But my imprint was laying there unconscious Now was not the time to be modest. I phased and noticed the blanket next to her. I wrapped it around my body and grabbed Bella.
"Bella honey, wake up sweetheart. Bella please baby you got to wake up." I gently shook her. Her eyes fluttered.
"Jaaakee?" She managed to squeak.
"Yes baby I'm right here."
"Laurent...Victoria...out for my blood..." She begain to sob
"It's okay honey, we killed Laurent, and Victoria will not touch you I promise. We will protect you." I kissed her forehead and held her close.
She snuggled into my chest, then pulled back and looked at me.
"Jake why are you only wearing the blanket?"
Short chapter, I know, and not one of my best. But it was time to get a vampire involved. So there you have it. Leave me some love.
Oh and if anyone wondered, you know that speech Sam gives in chapter 8? About not sharing "drinks, cigarettes, and people"? Well you might like to know that I took that from an actual speech that the dean of students at my college gave EVERY YEAR at the start of the year. He would go from dorm to dorm and give a speech about staying safe and doing this to protect yourself. And that was really a line in the speech. Creepy I know.
