A/N: I do not own the original characters in Twilight. With that said, this is somewhat of a continuation of chapter 9. I decided to break it into two chapters. I hope you enjoy.
Faceless Moon Chapter 10
Jacob's POV:
I left Leah's house feeling weak. Now that was strange. Something was wrong and I could feel it, but I was so angry I couldn't go back to see what. Get a hold of yourself Jacob and think of how you're going to win Leah and the pack back. My conscience was giving me a pep talk. How great.
As soon as I hit the tree line I phased. I didn't want to go home yet, so I decided to head to the beach instead. Half way there I ran into the one person I did not want to deal with tonight.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the heartbreaker. So what did Leah hurt your feelings? Where you headed to, Black?"
"Just leave me alone, Seth. I'm not in the mood right now." I miss Seth and I really don't want to hurt the pup right now.
"Stay away from Leah, Black. I'm warning you!" Seth is actually threatening me. Being in my wolf form, I could feel myself getting ready for battle that my human side did not want to happen. It took all I had to suppress it.
"Or what, Seth? What are you gonna do if I don't? Look, I understand you're mad at me and I'm sorry for what I did but you can't keep me away from her. We won't allow it." It's going to be hard getting back on his good side. Hopefully when I explain everything to him, he will understand better. I ran behind a bush and phased back I then put on the cutoff I always keep on my ankle. I came from behind the bush to stand in front of what was once a young boy to a grown man. I never really noticed how much Seth has grown until now.
"You or your wolf don't have a say anymore. Leah doesn't want you. She's with Paul now and she's happy. Go back to Nessie. Save everyone the heart ache. By the way, where is Nessie?"
"I didn't want to tell you until the bonfire but since 'my day' has been cut short I guess I can tell you now." Maybe he will leave me alone for the rest of the night if I do. Hell, I just got here this morning and I already have to explain everything. Here goes nothing. "I left Nessie."
"Well, damn, Jake! You're on a role, aren't you? So who's your next victim? How about every single female in La Push and Forks? Hell, why not the whole state of Washington? No girl can resist the heartbreaker." Was this really the Seth I knew all those years ago? Damn, what have I done? The happy go lucky Seth has turned into another version of Paul. Spirits help us.
"No, it's not like that!" I walked to a nearby stump and sat down I could hear the ocean from where we were and it was silently calling to me. I knew this might take a while to explain so I might as well relax a bit. But I have to keep my guard up because Seth looks as if he's going to attack me any minute now. You know what, I would let him.
"I didn't want to leave. I knew it would hurt everyone if I did, especially Leah. That was something I did not want to do. But I knew Renessmee wanted to be with her family and because of the imprint, it would hurt worse if we were apart, so I left. We got settled and I opened a garage there in Alaska. For a while I was fine but I knew deep down I was missing something. I watched Nessie grow up, then when she turned six years old the imprint started to change from brotherly love to me falling in love…"
"Ugh, a six year old, Black. Now that's just gross." Seth interrupted.
"No, by that time she looked and acted about seventeen. Her growth speed up and so did her hormones. She's looks about eighteen or nineteen now. To humans she is. Anyways, I wanted to be everything for her and I knew one day she's going to want a family. But what I didn't know was that something deep down would change. About six months ago I started to feel less and less attached to Nessie and more to something or someone else. That's when Nahuel came to town. Renessmee would always go out with the chief's nephew of the Eskimo tribe, Jason, and Nahuel, the other half-breed vamp. She barely came home at all.
There was one night, about three months ago, she didn't come home at all but for some reason I didn't care. At that moment I knew something was different. Nessie has changed and the pull between us feels…non-existent. I know she's been with Nahuel and when we try to kiss, it would physically hurt. Almost like the wolf was disgusted by her kiss. I know there is still some imprint left between us because I still get angry when someone disrespects her. But something keeps pulling me here.
So, I sold half of my shop to a friend of mine and gave Nessie everything but a few dollars and a car. I came down here in hope to figure out what was going on with me. Nessie and I are not imprints anymore and I need to know why." The look on Seth's face was priceless. It was a mixture of confusion, concern, anger, and thankfully…understanding.
"So what does Leah have to do with all of this?" He asked.
"I never stopped loving Leah through all of it. The pull I feel leads to her, but I don't understand how it could change like it did. I was there not too long ago and I could feel her anger with in. We were not in our wolf forms though." I stood up thinking about my visit with her. "When I got to her house, I had planned on telling her everything, but when she didn't open the door I was going to leave. Instead something told me to try the window, so I did. When I got up to her bedroom, I found her passed out on the bathroom floor."
"What? Is she ok? I have to go home!" Seth turned to leave but I stopped him.
"Don't worry she's fine. I put her in bed. When she woke up I knew I had to tell her so I did, but I still don't understand how all of this happened in the first place."
"So you mean to tell me my sister might be imprinted on you somehow?" You know what, I never thought of it that way. That might be what it is, but how?
"Maybe so. When I left, before I ran into you, I started to feel weak. I don't know what's going on but I know that I love Leah and miss my brothers and my family. I really want to patch things up between us, Seth. All I could ask is that you forgive me and help me figure this out." Was I actually begging, now?
"Alright, alright, don't get all girly on me. Man, Black, being up there has made you soft." Why does everyone keep saying that? I have not gone soft.
"Me being up there have turned you into a mini Paul. How the hell did that happen?" I smirked. I notice a slight smirk trying to show itself.
"You left. So what about the pack? Are you trying to get back the title?" Aww, look at little Seth trying to get information out of me.
"I'll have it one day but no, that is not my main goal. I just want my pack back and my brothers back….and Leah."
"So it's not a main goal but it is a goal, right?" I could tell that disturbed him a little.
"One day when the time calls for me to be Alpha, yes, but for now, no." He just nods his head as if in deep thought. "Now that you know, tell who you want I don't care but just let me have some me time at the beach, please."
"Yea, whatever, Black. We will talk again. I'll think about forgiving you. I was searching for any type of tell that would tell me if you were lying or not. If I would've found one, you would most defiantly be hurt, but I didn't. I have to go tend to my sister, but tomorrow at the bonfire we will talk about you coming back to the pack. Later, Black!"
"Bye." Little did he know Leah already let me back into the pack.
As Seth was leaving, I could see the old Seth I always knew for just a second when he turned to glanced back at me. The next second a brown wolf took his place. I then phased and ran the rest of the way to the beach. I could really use a dip right about now.
A/N: There will most likely be a fight scene coming soon. So stay tuned...!
