Jacob's POV.
Nessie was staring at her phone. Her face was screwed up, she looked confused.
"Oh." She whispered.
"What's wrong?" I asked, immediately worried.
"Nothing Jake. Someone playing a joke, that's all." She smiled. "Can you take me home? I want to hunt."
"I'll come with you!" I said.
She hesitated. "Actually, I want to go with Emmett. We always go together. But tomorrow night after school, I think we should visit Charlie. Tell him about us. Its better he finds out from us, incase Billy lets it slip."
I nodded, before paying and leading Nessie out to the car. She seemed distracted about something.
"So, what's the most attractive thing about me then?" I grinned. She snapped her head towards me, looking surprised. I'd distracted her, perfect. She blushed and mumbled something really quiet, the way Edward and Bella talk around us.
"What was that?"
"Your stomach. Your eight pack." She looked determinedly at the floor. I smiled at her, she was so cute when she was embarrassed. Her eyes flashed, and she questioned me.
"What about me?"
I didn't embarrass easy.
"Your eyes."
She was so like Bella, blushing constantly. She sank back on the chair, holding her stomach.
"Don't you feel well?"
"My tummy feels weird. Something I ate probably."
We pulled up at the Cullen's house and she kissed me before jumping out of the car.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
We haven't been dating long, but I couldn't imagine what I'd done before that. Anyway, I had stuff to do now. The pack caught a new scent, but it wasn't a vampire. We don't know who it is, or what they want. I walked into the house and was welcomed by shouts. The living room was occupied by Billy and Charlie, shouting at the TV. There was a game on, apparently their team was losing.
"Aw Jacob! I haven't seen you in ages! How are you kid?" He looked me up and down. "Well, I can't really call you a kid anymore, can I? Have you grown more? What is wrong with you!" He stopped, realizing what he'd said. He chuckled, "Of course. You're a wolf." I'm not sure if Charlie could get his head around it, not really. Since he married Sue he knew all about werewolves. Of course, I'd shown him my transformation myself, which probably wasn't the best way to introduce him when I think about it. And Seth had told him about vampires too, as he was his step-dad. They get along well, and Charlie had guessed what the Cullen's are. He doesn't want his suspicions confirmed but, he'd rather only think he knows.
"I'm great Charlie." I smiled.
"Seen Bella lately? Nessie?"
"Yes. We're calling down tomorrow night. Bella too." I knew Charlie missed Bella, but he knew she was happy with Edward. I wondered if he found it odd that I still hung around with Bella and Edward. He didn't know that it was actually Nessie I was with, but he probably thought I was still in love with Bella or something. My stomach rumbled. It was pretty annoying being hungry constantly. I ran to the kitchen and pulled out pop tarts. I ate a packet off them quickly, before running outside to phase. I wondered if I could get a new lead on the scent. As soon as I phased the first thing I heard was;
I'll apologize to Sam. He deserves it. And I definitely need to talk to Embry after sleeping with him, or things will get awkward.
Leah realized I was there. Jake? Oh god.
Embry and Leah? That is so wrong! Leah! When? Why? WHAT?
I sensed her embarrassment. Sam's wedding. I was upset, Embry comforted me, we were both pissed, and it was just a mistake Jacob.
Oh. Well alright. If you were upset you should of talked to…eh, one of us.
Yeah right. She was mocking me. Like I'd tell you about my problems.
I sighed. Some people never change. It was alright, I accepted it easily. So they made a mistake, not really a big deal. Can't see why Leah was hiding it. Embry seemed not to think of it either. Leah was gone and I began running through the woods. I needed to trim my hair again, it's getting long. It wasn't until the middle of the woods that the smell hit me. It was strong, and recent. I followed it through the trees, and stopped quite far in. We were near the Cullen's house. It wasn't in sight, but I could tell we were near it. I recognized the scent. Not the exact one, but I knew one pretty damn close. They must have been looking for us, the wolves. Or maybe it was just a coincidence. I circled the woods for ages, trying to find the scent in other areas. It disappeared at one point. How weird. I must have the scent wrong...
A/N. Thanks to my amazing reviewers. Two things!
First of all, the first person to guess who the mystery scent is will have their name as that person. In the books, they are mentioned, just not by name. So guess away!
Second, I'm, updating now because I'm going to Vancouver in about half an hour for a five-day long photoshoot, so when I'm back on Tuesday I will start the next chapter straight away. Sorry you'll have to wait a bit longer this time! –bella.
