Amazed that I've updated? Yah, me too. ) I'm slightly tired right now so forgive me if this chapter is poop; we're getting closer to my wonderful plot. I just have to figure out how to get there.
Don't own Twilight or New Moon (thank goodness) but I am reading Twilight for the third time!
Last Time:
Jacob cautiously reached down to comfort me shaking slightly. I trusted him so I let him comfort me once again.
He cradled me in his arms as we rocked back and forth. Once in awhile he would whisper words of comfort and silently stroke my onyx hair.
We were both grieving for what is and what use to be.
My savior had returned.
This Time:
The holding dock that was supporting my frigid body stayed in place till the dead of night. When all but the sound of Jacob's breathing and the swaying of air around us remained. I hadn't sucked in a breath of air since the moment Jacob entered the room. In the dark I could still see his glowing brown eyes stare intently down on my impassive face. I imagined that he was still desperately trying to make this seem as a dream and wake up to the world in which I was mortal and we could be forever friends.
I made a slight impression that I wanted to stand up. Jacob's hold on me gently loosened. I slowly stood up and brushed of the dust bunnies that clung to my tattered clothing.
I inspected the abandoned room around us.
A tan couch with matching chairs surrounded an old, blue carpet that curled at the ends with wear. A small dusty coffee table stood in the center with outdated magazines resting on it. A large tapestry hung on the adjacent wall from me. It had a myriad amount of stunning, pale men and women enclosing in on fierce looking wolves. They were about ten of them; grey, brown, and black wolves of all shapes and sizes. Burgundy blood trickled from the wolves wounds dripping down to the emerald grass. I realized then what it was depicting- werewolves vs. vampires.
I decided then it was best to leave now before anything unpleasant might happen between the man sitting behind me and myself.
Jacob just sat on the hard wood floor not noticing this tapestry because his chocolate brown eyes rested on me; following my every move. Inspecting is a good way to put it I suppose.
His knees were loosely bent up towards his chest and his large tanned hands were resting on his knees.
I made a move to leave.
"Please. Stay. We can still be friends." Jacob whispered.
"Jacob, it's impossible." I said turning around to meet his face handsome face.
His expression became serious; his eyes hard.
"How do you know? How do you know that it's impossible?"
"It just is Jacob. The friendship between our two races has never been thought of; the idea is banished-never to exist."
"We can change that. Nothing is impossible!" Jacob said fiercely.
"Well, this is." I said looking down.
Jacob pushed himself off the aqua colored walls quicly and jumped in front of me. He rested both of his large hands on top of my petite shoulders, which were now exceedingly hard because of the muscle layered upon muscle.
I still held an unnecessary breath to keep from smelling the horrid sent which was radiating off his body.
The warmth of his hands soothed my muscles, relaxing my tense position.
He noticed my relaxation. Jacob still had to bend his head down to speak to me because of my short height.
"We were friends not very long ago. Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
I didn't answer. Tears that would never fall stung my eyes black eyes. I refused to answer him; I wouldn't let him see a weakness in me. For Jacob was in fact the one thing that made my life meaningful after the Cullens left.
Silence filled the room as I refused to answer.
"Dammit Bella, it meant the world to me!"
His eyes looked so intense I had to look away before I crumpled down to the floor from his passionate glare.
"Everyday I woke up hoping that you would come, hoping to see you." Jacob declared. "Every moment we spent together is etched in my memory. Thoughts of you plagued my mind! When you "died"… I couldn't grasp the idea of you not being in the world for me to smile with, to teach how to ride motorcycles, or to rescue you from near death experiences."
A smile actually tugged at his lips as he said the last thing. I too had to force myself from smiling at the memory.
I suddenly snapped my head up realizing how close Jacob was to convincing me to stay here with him.
"I have to go." I stepped away from him.
The sky was still painted with the dark colors of night. I had more then enough time to get back to the cave but very little time before Vallentina and William would become curious of were I've been.
"I thought I lost you. Now that I found you I can't loose you again." Jacob declared.
I turned around to walk to the door away from Jacob.
Jacob made one last attempt to keep me to stay.
"What about Charlie? Are you just going to leave him as he is? Suffering every day and night wishing he could see you graduate. Wishing that he could celebrate your nineteenth birthday. Wishing that…"
I
didn't let him finish his sentence. I had enough of his talk that
was purposely trying to make me feel guilty. I came up to him faster
then he could possibly comprehend and gripped his
t-shirt. I
raised his body four feet off the ground. Now he was forced to look
down at me.
"You think I chose this life? You think that whenever I see a human being, whose skin is so thin, I could easily slice with my fangs and suck them dry? Don't you dare try to talk as if I can just come waltzing back into my former life as if this life never existed!"
I threw him down to the ground not enough to shatter his fragile bones and kill him, but enough to have him feel it violently vibrate throughout his body to his skull.
"You know nothing." I whispered viscously.
I stood there for a few moments staring down at his heaving form. I turned around and reached out to touch the brass door handle.
"I'm sorry. Your, right I do know nothing." Jacob said.
When he realized where my hand was he quickly stood up again and grabbed my cold wrist with an iron hold.
"This can work, Bella. We can make this work."
I tugged at my arm forcing him to let go of me because I was so much stronger then him it was unbelievable. With a simple push I could kill him easily.
"Meet me tomorrow night in the forest outside your father's house."
His face held pain as I walked out the door with his implied question gone unanswered.
I opened the wooden door, stepped onto the uncared for porch and sprinted. Not knowing myself if I would see him tomorrow night or not.
Only tomorrow can decide. I thought as I speed past the pale, white moon, though the shadowy forest, and into my now called home.
Finally getting closer to the plot!!! You must be getting impatient to find out exactly what is the plot (I would too) but I'm trying not to rush it. I have to describe everything pretty well to get to there, and rushing into everything would ruin the story. And I don't want to do that. I've read many fanfics that have rushed the plots so I'm trying to take my time trying to do it well. Bare with me please!
Read and Review!!!
