Embry

C'mon guys. I howled again, louder this time. Where the hell were they? I could her Jakes thoughts, so I knew he was okay, but we were still the only two phased. If he found her before the rest turned up, I don't know if I could make it in time...?

And then, finally.

"What's happened?" I heard Paul think.

I replayed the scene for him in my head.

"Damn. And Jacobs gone after her, on his own?"

"Yeah."

"Crap. I'm gonna follow him, see if I can help. Stay here and wait for the others?"

"Will do. If anything happens though, I'll be on my way."

Ten minutes later, after having the same conversation with anyone Quil hadn't found first, I was finally on my way to join the pursuit. I could smell her through Jakes thought's, and she was definitely getting closer. Not concentrating on my own surroundings I studied his head, and watched through his eyes, listening to his every movement.

"What the hell?" I heard him think.

I immediately understood Jakes confusion. The scent changed. It mixed. But it got stronger. A lot stronger. Holy crap, there were more of them. I ran harder. One bloodsucker the pack could handle, easy, but four, five, six? That might be a challenge.

And then I didn't need to be able to read his mind to hear Jakes anger.

But I could. I could hear the fury in his thoughts. Feel the pain in his nose and mouth, and feel his hackles on end.

He was stood in a clearing facing twenty or so vampires. Alone.

I know, I know, it's rather pathetic. I did my best, and was simply writing for enjoyment. If you're reading this note, it probably means you read the last three chapters, and you haven't gouged your eyes out, so thank you. A lot. :)
