The whole pack was out the Cullen's house, hidden in the shadows of the trees. Why we were hiding I have no idea, they would have known already that we were there. I really didn't want to be here, not when I knew Bella was so close and I was unable to see her, not that she wanted to see me anyway. I shifted uneasily between the trees, my eyes on the Cullen's back door, Seth sitting beside me. He was uneasy as well, I could tell as I was in his mind. He turned to me, a small lopsided grin on his face, though if you didn't know what a grin in the wolf world looked like you would have thought he was baring his teeth at you.
"Bella doesn't want him
here," an ice cold voice broke the silence between the pack,
standing right in front of us between the trees. I allowed a growl to
escape my lips as I turned to Edward. Sam growled as well, at the
front of the pack, but he was warning me to keep my mouth shut.
"Jacob stays," Sam told Edward, though he didn't
speak or even growl out loud. Edward would hear him, without a doubt.
Stupid mindreading bloodsucker.
"Watch you tongue DOG!"
Edward growled, his velvet voice raising a little as he glared at me
from between the trees.
I just grinned; enjoying myself thoroughly now, I always did love to wind him up and the thing was that he tended to bite every time. He growled at this as well, though said nothing and so it was my turn to retaliate. "And risk your family?" I asked, my tone highly questioning, my eyebrow arched. "I don't think so." Edward didn't reply to this either, just glared at me instead.
"Please be silent," Alice's soft voice broke through the angry silence now as she danced lightly towards us. Though she couldn't hear what we were saying to him, she knew we were. I'd never minded Alice, or Esme, they had always been alright to with the pack. "I have something to tell you all. And seeing as the future just disappeared I guess you're involved." She grinned at this widely; her eyes look directly at me for a second. "Luckily I managed to see what was going to come before it did disappear."
"Get on with it Alice," I
told her in my mind, knowing Edward would translate. He threw me a
murderous look before turning back to Alice.
"Jacob requests
that you please hurry," He told her, twisting my words. Why did he
do that?! I could speak for myself, I growled low again, causing Sam
to sigh at the front of the pack and shake his head at me.
"Tell
her what I actually said," I told Edward in my mind as I glared
daggers at him through the trees. Edward gave a small sigh before
turning back to Alice, the rest of the Cullens now behind her, but no
Bella.
"He actually said and I quote,
'Get on with it Alice,'" Edward told her, causing her to
chuckle a little. She turned back to the group now, but was looking
straight at me as she spoke again.
"And I shall," Her
twinkling voice gentle and calm as she walked closer to the pack, her
family hesitating then following her. Edward stuck to her side like
glue, almost afraid we'd attack her if she was alone. As if.
"Now, I have reason to believe that Bella is in danger. I have foreseen that a group of, well let's say unearthly vampires, are on the way towards us. We have no idea why, or what they want, but they're coming," Alice explained to us in a careful voice as she frowned at the group. "And so we need to protect Bella, with your help," she added as she looked to Sam.
"Bella is one of us, of course
we'll help," Sam's voice echoed around the group as I
growled a little, glancing at Seth. Leah wasn't there, that was for
sure.
"Was one of the group," I said bitterly as I
looked down at the floor. Edward translated for Alice, who smiled and
nodded.
"Then it is settled. You shall help us in protecting
her. Now I need you to leave so I can see when they are coming, if I
can." Alice told us as Sam nodded, before turning and leaving the
vampires. The pack followed him, but I refused to move, and so did
Seth. We both phased a little way away, pulling some sort of
trousers, before going over to the vampires, Seth had brought me
some.
"Get out of here Jacob," Edward growled as I approached him, I growled in the back of my throat, but kept going. I wanted to see my Bella, to make sure she was safe, if only I could see her for a little while. "Not a chance, she doesn't want to see you." Edward had heard my thoughts, again. This was going to get annoying, more than a little annoying. "Yes it will when I start quoting your thoughts." I growled again and glared at him.
"You can't stop me seeing her,"
I told him as Alice sighed a little, shooting her 'brother' a
look before walking over to me. Edward tensed, but let her go. I
frowned at her, my eyes hurt and upset. "Alice, you have to let
me..."
"It's best to just leave it for now Jake," She
whispered putting a hand on my arm. Her eyes were sympathetic towards
me and her touch was gentle. Edward was still glaring daggers at her,
shaking his head. "Well how would you feel if it was Rose?!" She
demanded, turning to glare at him now. He shrunk back a little and I
smiled, satisfied. "Just leave her for now, she needs time."
I nodded, though it was clearly reluctantly, I didn't want to let go. I needed her, though she didn't need me quite as much. I needed to get off their land as well, before I was sick from the smell of vampires. I turned and phased again, ripping my trousers to shreds....
