Chapter 9: Kyrazzah
Nicole's P.O.V.
"Where are we going?" I asked Jacob as we left the hotel. "Away" Jacob said harshly. "And away is..." I prompted. Jacob rolled his eyes. "You, Nicole, need to find your mother and I need to find Kyrazzah." I gasped. "So you do love aunt Kyra! I knew it!" I accused teasingly. "Heck no! Anyone who loves your aunt is insane!" he retorted.
I was starting to feel bad for Nessie. She and I were becoming great friends, and I wondered why Jacob would want to leave her. I wanted to know. "Jacob…" I started. We were walking out of the door and were waiting for a Taxi. He looked down at me and then I saw it. Seth's face. I now realize how Seth has helped Ness. He gave her apart of Jacob.
I knew there was more than he was telling so I tried to ask again. "Jacob, why are we leaving?" He sighed. "I already told you. You need to see your mother!!" I realized that that was all he wanted to tell me so I tried a different approach.
"Then why are YOU leaving?" He stiffened. I'd hit a nerve. I slowly put my hand on his shoulder. "You can tell me. I want to know the real reason you're leaving and why I have to leave Seth because of it!" He was trembling under my hand. Out of no where he was gone. He was running. I was worried. Was it really that bad? I ran after him. Being part wolf and part vampire I can stay in "Human" form but still communicate with wolves.
Jacob, Stop Now, I thought. He was deep into the forest now, about a mile in front of me. I pushed myself harder. I came to the same little clearing that I'd talked to Nessie in. Jacob was still human, but had fallen to the ground. I went to go talk to him.
"Jacob, I know what happened with Nessie and Seth." As I mentally laughed as I used Jacob's nick name for her. Jacob looked up at me with bloodshot, tired, sad eyes that had so much depth and pain.
I love Seth too, and it hurt to see that happen but you don't see me running off to kill myself! I thought. He was quiet, but after a while he spoke, but didn't look at me. "You don't understand! I just got her back!! I've spent the last 2 DANG WEEKS AWAY FROM HER!!!! He was yelling now. I knew I should feel pain but I didn't. I just let Jacob vent. "I finally regain normalness and my best friend imprints. And 5 seconds late He kisses Nessie! Literally kissed her! And she let him!!"
He looked up from the ground, calmer now. "I only wish…," He struggled for words, "That I could mean more to her." He looked at the ground as he said it. I don't know why, but anger shot through me. "You mean more to her than you will ever know!" I told him sternly. He sat up confused.
"I'm part wolf. I've seen into Seth's mind and I saw what happened when you left her. She even showed me some of it herself! I can't begin to explain the hurt she felt. Don't kill yourself, Jacob. Do you realize what that would do to her? It would be like she lost you, but she would have no hope of getting you back! You know every time she'd look at Seth and see you! Do you want her to go through that do you care about her at all?" I was saying the words harshly. I could tell he understood what I'd meant. When he didn't speak I looked over to him and saw moisture in his eyes. I could tell my choice of words had worked, like in the parking lot. I put my hand on his shoulder. He didn't flinch. I scooted over to sit next to him. He leaned against my shoulder for support. I started playing with the grass in front of me until a new thought crossed my mind.
"I don't know" Jacob said I looked at him. "I mean how was he able to do it? How was he able to kiss Nessie after he imprinted on…me?" He shrugged. "He's always had a close bond with her, always been there for her. He-He loves her. But, I guess, when he saw you the pain of not knowing you got to him," Jacob informed me.
"So when are we going to get this show on the road?" I asked, teasingly. He sat up. "Edward can't here us, he's already on the plain and as long as I don't go wolf, the guys won't know about it. And if my plan has something to do with you, then Alice can't see it either!" I stared at him for a minute. What was he talking about? He laughed. "I mean we meet the Cullen's at the Cullen house, I'm sure Esme won't mind. I'll be in the "guest room'" He put quotations around Guest room, and I laughed. "Which will be your room, no one can know I'm there, remember, they should all think I'm dead!" He shuddered.
After a moment of silence he continued. "You have to picture me dieing in front of Kyrazzah, so Edward won't be specific. Then once the news sinks in, I come back from the 'Dead'" again more quotations and I rolled my eyes. "They freak out and we laugh like we just saw Emmett wearing a big Bear costume with Paw's and stuff! OOH OOH and maybe he could have on that fake blush stuff that would be funny!" I couldn't help but laugh. I mean come on, that is funny.
"Then what? You go away again?" I accused. "No, I may go all wolf. You know, I kind of do that a lot when I'm mad, or if I don't have anything better to do!" He said a matter-of-factly. I just stared at him. "Hey, I'll drop bye every now and then to say hi!" He promised. "Why are we doing this again?" I asked. HE rolled his eyes like the answer was as obvious as the sun is yellow! "Well, the Cullen's like Pranks, and sop do I, so I thought we could get a head in the game. Emmett said we'll be forming teams next month!" I laughed.
Then I thought about what he'd ask me to do. "ARE YOU INSANE?" I asked. He shrugged. "Maybe, but that's the whole point right?" He prompted. "I guess. Hey you tell me when the pictures good enough" I started thinking about my Aunts and Jacob kneeling before them. Kyrazzah pulled out her wand and out of it shot a green light. It hit Jacob in his side. He fell to the ground and lay there, unmoving, not breathing. Jacob flinched. "Man, I'd never thought my death would be so…tragic!" He laughed. "Is it good?" I asked. "Perfect" he said, grinning. I jumped up and held my hand out for him. He took it with ease. I helped him up, and we laughed, we stared at the hotel we'd come from, and ran towards the Cullen's house, without another glance back.
