POTW chappie 10

JACOB POV

Haley ran next to me, her white pelt making a stark contrast into mine. Trees flew by us, and we left the Cullens farther and farther behind. I let out a joyous howl, and Haley grinned at me, and then ran faster. At sunset, we stopped in a secluded wood, and snow was falling. Haley ran into the woods, and I quickly morphed back and pulled my clothes on, as she rounded the corner. "Where are we?" She asked, coming over and wrapping her arms around my waist. I was glad that she was opening up to me.

"Somewhere around Vancouver." I said, wrapping my arms around her shoulders and torso.

"Mmm…" she said, and buried her head under my arm. I rubbed her back, and let the side of my face rest in her hair. For a while, we just enjoyed each other's touch.

Then, I lifted Haley's head with my finger under her chin, and looked into her eyes. Slowly, watching her reaction, I leaned in. She closed her eyes, and with a gentle smile, leaned in to me. Our kiss met somewhere in the middle.

Haley ran her nimble fingers through my hair, and I let my hands slip down her back. I leaned back, and she followed me, rubbing the back of her leg against mine. I moved my hands from her lower cheeks to the collar of her shirt. Hesitantly, I broke the kiss.

She pecked me on the lips. I picked her up, and leaned against a tree. She wrapped her legs around my waist, and put her hands on either side of my head. For a while, we just kissed, our bodies entwining. After awhile, she got tired of sitting up straight, so she tackled me into the snow, and kissed me some more. Haley fell asleep sometime later on, but I stayed awake, thinking.

I touched Haley's face gently, and rolled over and stood up, out of the snow. I walked to the edge of the clearing and looked back. Haley lay peacefully in the snow. I felt terrible leaving, but I had to. I needed to think. I morphed, and left two paw prints in a heart shape near Haley, then turned and jumped into the forest.

HALEY POV

I rolled over, and snow tickled my nose. With a sneeze, I opened my eyes and sat up. I was alone in the clearing, and snow was still falling. I looked around, and saw two paw-prints in a heart shape a couple feet away. With a smile, I got up and walked over to the paw-prints, and put my bare feet into the snow that had fallen there, so my foot-prints were inside his paw-prints. Then I morphed, left some paw-prints of my own, and then turned and jumped the opposite way Jacob had gone. With my clothes tied to my leg, I bounded through the forest, my fur blending in with the snow perfectly, I was invisible. Which turns out, wasn't the smartest thing to do, running around invisible as a wolf.

My ear twitched and swiveled as I heard a light whooshing noise coming toward me, from about a mile away. Jacob, I thought, and turned to face it. I let my eyes scourge the forest, looking for his russet pelt. It would stand out in the white snow, I knew, but I couldn't find it. Then, I saw a glimpse of color, but it was blue. Jacob was wearing khakis, if that would have been him. I tensed, and focused on it. Too late, I realized it was attached to a red-headed vampire, with golden eyes, and looked ready to kill me. I pounced, and we met in midair. I snatched her arm in my teeth, and yanked, as she pushed her feet viciously against my shoulder. Her arm came off with a grating screech, and my shoulder gave with a crunch.

With a fierce scream, she flew backwards, and I had yelled a couple cuss words, which came out as strangled howls. She crashed into a tree. I lost focus, and I felt myself going back. With a crunch, I landed on my side, as a human, with a crushed in shoulder. With a gasp, I sat up, covering myself as much as possible, craning my head to see my shoulder.

Wincing, I watched it pop back out, and then rolled my shoulder stretching it, vampire speed, and watched the vampire before me with narrowed eyes. Blood was not flowing, but the spot where her arm used to be was red. Her eyes were black now, and she had retrieved her arm and was holding it in her hand, staring at me, shocked. Then, her shoulder RE-GREW, and her arm floated over by itself, and reattached. "S-Sarah?" I asked. "Sarah Denali?" I asked, a tear on my cheek. She stared at me uncomprehendingly.

"Haley…" she choked at last. She staggered over to me.

"Oh my god, mom!" I cried, and reached up and hugged her. We held each other for a long time. When we finally parted, she was crying, and laughing. I quickly pulled on my shirt and pants.

"Haley, what happened to you? Tell me everything." My mom said.

"It's kind of a long story." I said, standing up and pulling her up with me. She put her arm around my shoulders.

"I have eternity." She said.

JACOB POV

When I heard Haley howl, I turned away from the mountain I had been staring at, trying to figure out what I wanted, and ran. Going faster than I ever had before, I raced toward her scent. I followed her through the clearing and on. I skidded to a stop right behind them, and growled. Haley turned slowly. "Jacob, I would like you to meet my mother. Sarah, mom, this is Jacob, my boyfriend." She said calmly.

"Haley, I'm confused. You're a vampire like me, but…" she trailed off, and nodded at me.

"Ok. Dad figured out what gift I got when you…well…yeah. When someone bites me, I absorb a copy of what their gift is. So when I got into a fight with a werewolf…" Haley trailed off, and smiled at me. "I met Jacob. He helped me and things got better from there." She walked over and hugged my leg, and in return, I nuzzled the top of her head with my snout. Her mom's eyes widened.

"Hello Jacob, it is very nice to meet you." She said slowly. I gave her my best wolf grin in return.
