Chapter 10: Jacob
The following day I dragged myself out of bed and plopped myself in front of the TV. "Hmm, what can I do today?" I thought as I sat Indian style on the couch, staring at the blank television screen.
Suddenly I could hear something, but I couldn't quiet put my finger on it. Then there was a silent knock at the door. I didn't even check to see who it was and just opened the door trying to figure out what that noise was. As soon as I opened the door I remember "Huh!? The phone…" I gasped running over to my dad's room where I had left it. I didn't even realize I just left the door wide open, I just knew I had to keep my promise.
"Hello?" I sighed as I flipped my phone on. "I just wanted to tell you I'm at your aunts already. I got here at night, but I didn't want to wake you. I'll call again later okay and stay out of trouble. Keep your promise."
"Yes sir. Don't worry dad. You just take care. Bye." I smiled as I flipped my phone not watching where I was going. "Oof…" I gasped sliding on another one of my dad's socks.
"Do you normally open the door for people like that?" Jacob half smiled appearing at the door. I could feel my face flush, "Ah I forgot." I thought out loud wincing a bit as I sat on the floor just looking up at him. It just made him laugh more.
"Oops, sorry." I sighed a bit embarrassed as I tried to get up. "Oh, no it's okay." he said picking me off the floor and standing me up in one swift sweep. "T-thank y-you" I stuttered nervously as I walked back a little. I could feel a weird burning sensation pulling from my stomach that made me want to close the distance, but I held myself back. A smile played on his lips before he answered "Don't mention it. We can talk now."
I nodded "So where would we start then?" I asked motioning for him to follow me to the living room as we did we sat on the couch. "Let's go from where we left off." he said "Edward filled us in with his side of what happened, but what happened? Why at Charlie's?"
"To tell you the truth I don't know myself, I just knew I had to run. Then he, it was there and Edward, I don't really know what happened after that." I exclaimed his eyes on me the whole time. It was quite, while he gathered what I had just said, but something was bugging me and it hit me. "His voice…he was at Bella's graduation too."
"What? Who do you mean?" I could tell he already knew but he needed to make sure. "He was there. I don't think anyone else saw…"
"What?! Someone should have…and you were there? How do you know? Did he do anything?" he was saying trying to keep cool his hands in fists.
"He made sure he wasn't seen and just said enough to say he's not alone and that he knew about the others." I cut him off unconsciously placing my hands over his as I sat closer to him.
"Then he knows about the Cullen's, but still how could he have gotten away with doing that." he said relaxing, suddenly throwing his arms around me and pulling me into a hug. I could feel my cheeks flush, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. "I hope he can't feel my heart beat. Come on stop it Rae." I thought my eyes open wide in shock. I could feel his warm breath brush against the nape of my neck, I couldn't control my thoughts. I felt embarrassed to even be feeling the way I was.
"Okay, I'll let the others know. Right now though, it's time for you to meet the guys." He sighed, a smile curved on his lips. "Mhmm, I'll just go change." I said making a dash to my room and changing into something comfortable and warm. Then I went back to the living room only to find he was already waiting for me at the door.
"Another thing before we leave, you know how you said yesterday about the clearing and that Edward was standing in the middle with a man, is that all you saw?" he asked a serious expression on his face. I shook my head as I spoke, "There were people there in black coats on one side and in another the Cullen's stood with others surrounding them, but that's all I can remember." I touched my forefinger to my chin with my good hand as I thought.
"So are they visions you see?" he asked, I nodded "I think they are. I just can't control them." I sighed as we stepped out of the house. "Okay now let's go." He smiled baring all his teeth at me; I almost melted right on the spot forcing myself to nod a small smile playing on my lips.
After locking the house, I turned around to find him on a motorcycle; he patted the space behind him for me to jump on. I was a little hesitant at first, but I got on unsteadily wrapping my arms tightly behind him. My face against his back I could feel his warmth seep into me. The feeling of riding with him was exhilarating. It almost seemed like he was riding over bumps on purpose so I would hold on tighter. Before I knew it we had arrived to a cottage in La push.
As we jumped out, off of the motorcycle a group of guys walked out and a girl. They all seemed sort of intimidating, except for the only person I knew from the group, Seth. Out of instinct I sort of hid behind Jacob. "Why did you bring her here? You don't think the things that want her will come here and threaten our lands?" a girl spat her eyes daring me to step closer.
"Leah, why don't you go back with EJ? I'm sure he misses you." Jacob said a sly smile playing on his lips. "Suck it Jacob and I am." She retorted as she walked away. Then the others came over to introduce themselves as if nothing ever happened, Jacob moving aside a little.
"Hi, I'm Paul and this is Rachel, Jacob's sister." Spoke the one nearest to the door, a girl standing beside him. As soon as they waved they walked back inside.
"Hey, I'm Embry." said the one that had chocolate brown eyes and short black hair as he shook my hand. Then the other one waved from where he stood, "I'm Quil, welcome to the pack." He smiled almost as big as Seth's, at the same time I could see Seth slightly kick him, a small grunt escaping Quil's throat.
All at once I could hear what sounded like whispering. I could barely make out the words "He hasn't told her?"
"What do you mean he hasn't told me?!" I thought out loud everyone suddenly turning to look at me. "Oh, sorry…I'm not listening." I sighed embarrassed. "Nice to meet you guys." I half smiled sort of bowing at the same time taking a few steps back, trying to change the subject.
All at once my foot got caught on a small root on the ground and I lost my balance almost falling back. Before I could actually fall Jacob caught me in his arms, holding me steady in my spot. I let out a puff of air, feeling my face flush red.
"Thank you." I sighed, not even daring to look up. "Don't mention it." Jacob smiled then Quil spoke, "It's okay…you could actually hear that?" Quil asked a bit dumbfounded. I tilted my head to the side a little confused as I looked at him. "Yeah, weren't you whispering it?"
He shook his head as did Seth and Embry, "No I mean yes or Jacob will tell you later. Okay we have to get going. See you later at the bonfire." He said a little bit rushed as he pulled Embry along with him. I stood there a bit confused as I watched them leave. Then Seth came up, "Nice to see you around here and like they said I'll see you later." He grinned pulling me into a hug before he left.
I stood beside Jacob dumbfounded by what just happened, everyone leaving in a rush and getting hugged. "He did that because he's very thankful for all the help you've given us." Jacob laughed answering my thoughts. "Oh, what about…"
"…and that other thing, I'll tell you later." He said a little hesitant as if he were hiding something. I nodded, "I wonder what it is?" I thought. "Okay now let's have some fun." He smiled taking my hand in his as he pulled me with him.
We walked for a while, him in front of me until we came to a beach; my jaw almost dropped open from the amazing view. "Wow, I've never seen anything like this or actually seen one of these in person." I gasped looking around at everything, making sure I didn't miss a thing.
The way the shore was covered in dark pebbles, the water trying to climb up higher only to recede back into its body of water.
"If I would have known that I would have brought you here first." He said a smile playing on his lips as he watched me. We both released our hands and I went over to the water bending down on top of some small rocks as I made it to the shore. I dipped my good hand into the small waves before it receded back to the mass of water.
As I buried my hand into the sand, I could feel something beneath it. I almost pulled my hand out, but I stopped myself, deciding to pull out what I had found. "Nope, just perfect." I smiled as I pulled my hand out. "Look what I found." I said as I looked back to find Jacob standing behind me now. I stood up from my spot holding up a sand dollar the size of my palm.
"Have you ever heard what they say about sand dollars?" I asked him as I looked up into his eyes; he shook his head, looking deeply into mine. "Grab happiness when you see it, before something washes it away. Because you could grab this, the whole the better or throw it back from where it came from." I breathed as my foot slipped on rock, Jacob catching my fall. I could feel my heart pounding against my ribcage just as we stood there our bodies so close to each other as we stared down into each other's eyes.
"Then I think you should keep it." Jacob breathed as he leaned down; I could feel his warm breath caress my skin. At that moment our lips just centimeters away, someone in the distance shouted. All at once we quickly moved from our positions, breaking from the connection. I almost fell into the water, but I could feel Jacob's firm grip on my arm now.
Jacob had turned to the voice as I turned to the side biting my lip, my cheeks burning furiously. "The bonfire is starting." Came the voice again this time I could make out who's it was, Embry's. Jacob nodded then he turned to me.
"Come on, if you like this then I'm sure you'll like this." He smiled I nodded, before we left I was about to throw the sand dollar back into the water, but Jacobs hand wrapped around mine. "I meant it when I said you should keep it. Now come on." He said as he pulled me along. I smiled to myself holding on tightly to the sand dollar that was now mine.
As we got nearer I could hear singing, people chatting and see the flames of the fire licking the air. He was right it was nice especially in the cold that the night was bringing. I felt like a child seeing the world for the first time. I had seen fires before, but never in life had I seen something like this. A group of people sat around a warm giving fire.
They had barely finished singing as we came to sit. I looked around at all the new faces as they smiled and laughed in each other's company. It was a nice feeling to sit around the crowd. I stopped when my eyes fell on the man that sat beside me. He had night black hair and his skin was a lighter color from the nice russet color everyone else had. What caught my attention was his face, he reminded me of someone, yet I couldn't quiet put my finger on it.
"Do you like it?" Jacob asked as he placed a hand on my shoulder distracting me from my thoughts. I nodded, "Mhm, its nice." I smiled looking up into his warm chocolate eyes. Then we both turned forward to listen to the man that began to talk. Jacobs hand came down and slid into mine, a smile playing on his lips.
"Look into our great mass of people how it grows, let that be our strength growing together." The man cheered as the people burst out cheering the flames if possible growing bigger.
I looked down at our intertwined hands as I smiled to myself. Then I tilted my head up and watched the flames dance around. All at once my head started to hurt, the flames began forming into small figures all at once I saw the man's face clearly as he spoke, "The time is now. We leave at dusk and are there by the full moon. Prepare to fight, we are not many, but we my friends are strong." He yelled in a menacing tone that spoke for everyone. Beside him stood a grimy, hairy man, his face looked greasy and his eyes were unique. He had one icy blue one and the other was a soft caramel, just by looking at him I could smell the stench he carried with him and left behind.
All at once the scene dispersed into thin air and there was a different scene the same one from before. The coats stood at one end and the Cullen's with their people stood in the other. It almost seemed the same, but there was something different. Beside Edward and the too pale man Bella stood with a beautiful little boy Emmett at one side and a massive grey wolf on the other.
At that moment Alice landed swiftly beside Bella, following behind her was Jasper and two new faces. Before the scene ended Alice spoke in a confident tone "We bring proof." Then the images swirled around until I was staring into the flames once again. I coughed a bit as my breath hitched in my throat, shivering at the same time from what I had seen.
I cleared my throat noticing Jacob was looking at me now, a bit of concern on his face. I gave him a small smile to reassure him, but he wrapped his arm around me, sliding me a little closer to him, the warmth of his body seeping through. It made me feel safe and secure; nothing could get me from here. I smiled to myself as I sat there watching, listening to voices of the people around me.
Unknowingly I fell asleep; I stirred awake as Jacob lifted me into his arms. I smiled to myself as I stared up at him.
I let my eyes trace the lines of his jaw as they gently fell on his eyes. I stared into his soft chocolate eyes, I could see how content and relaxed he was and in a blink of an eye he was looking down at me. "Hey sleepy head." He sighed staring into my eyes. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself." I breathed a small smile on my lips.
"You want to stay here, instead of going home?" he asked a little hesitantly as he walked up to his motorcycle. I shook my head, "I would want to stay, but I can't." I thought as I answered, "I still have to talk to my dad. If he notices anything out of the ordinary he will point it out and ask multiple questions, maybe he'll even say he would come back on the next flight. Then there's that thing…that…"
"He didn't really like me. I could tell he kept giving me those eyes and then he told Seth he was welcome anytime and not me." He sighed while he placed me on his bike, I laughed. "I thought I was the only one that noticed. I think it's because you seem like a bad boy and Seth is sweet. He'll grow on you soon."
"So you're saying you like Seth more because I'm a bad boy?" he said raising a questionable eyebrow as he tilted his head at the same time hopping on the front seat of the motorcycle. "Well I'm into bad boys myself and you're bike just adds on to that." I smiled wrapping my arms around his waist as I realized what I had just said. "Oh, I-I mean…I like both of you." I added after a bit hesitantly. "Too late the words have been spoken." He smiled as he turned on the ignition.
At this point I could feel my cheeks burning as I buried my face on his back. "Okay, let's get you home." He laughed a little.
Time seemed to move by so much slower than before as we headed back. I would have wanted it to last longer besides I had to tell him what I had seen, but it was late and if I told him I would be thinking about it for the rest of the night. I wished he could stay home with me, but if I talked to my dad he would be able to sniff through the phone that Jake would be there.
As we reached my house he pulled up in the driveway and then he jumped off and helped me off. Our hand intertwined together as we walked to the front door.
"Thanks for today." I smiled staring down at our hands. "Almost like a date." I thought to myself. "You too, well I'll let you go now, but I'll see you again tomorrow. If anything don't hesitate to call, you have my number." He said as he tilted his head, winking. "Mhm, I will." I sighed smiling up at him.
As he turned around to leave it felt like he wanted to say more, but I could be wrong. "You sure you wanna stay here by yourself?" he asked again, his voice hopeful and a little bit anxious. "Yes, I'm sure." I half smiled, I hoped my voice didn't give away that I really did want to go with him. "Fine, but don't forget okay." He sighed as our hands separated.
"Goodnight." He yelled over his motorcycle engine. I nodded as I waved "Night." I yelled before he left. Then I walked inside and closed the door behind me. Leaning against the door as I took out the sand dollar, I thought about everything, but only one word ran across my mind.
"Jacob."
Okay, that is all for right now. Hope you liked this chapter. Now till next time ^^
