Another chapter! Woohoo!
Well... enjoy...
Chapter 12
Waking up the next morning was not enjoyable. Firstly, I was lying alone in my bed. Secondly, Jacob was lying on the floor in the middle of the room, in his wolf shape. His eyes were directed towards the window, while his ears were directed towards the door. I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment.
- Why are you awake? It's not 7o'clock yet… I mumbled and sat up and looked at him. Since he was in wolf shape, he simply growled in reply.
- I strongly doubt Kelly would do anything to me in my own house… I stated, causing him to snort and give me a look that said; "and what do you know about that?" I sighed.
Then Jacob suddenly flew up from the floor and started to growl at the door. His hackles rose and he looked as if he was about to kill the door.
- I'm just passing! I heard Kelly shout, and Jacob barked once in reply. I walked over to him and put my hands on his neck.
- Calm down… Jake, she isn't gonna do anything… I gasped as he transformed into human, and turned away as he put on the dressing robe he'd got to borrow from my dad the evening before.
- I don't trust her, or her kind. I never will… Not to a 100 anyways… he growled and sat down on the bed, leaning his face in his hands.
- I'm not really asking you to trust her… my mind raced to find a way for him to calm down a little bit.
Kelly… Carlisle… Edward… Bella… I took a deep breath and entered deep waters.
- I don't think Bella would let Kelly stay here if she didn't think it was safe… I whispered and Jacob stiffened. He glared up at me, and I looked down at the floor. I dared to glance up at him and my eyes widened at the anger in his eyes.
- Sorry! I said quickly, and as he rose from the bed, walked over to me quickly, I cowered back. However, he simply put his arms around me, and crushed me against his chest.
- Bella wouldn't. But I still don't trust Kelly, he said softly and I noticed I was trembling. He sighed and kissed my hair, loosening his grip of me.
- I'm sorry if I scared you… but that wasn't a fair move… he whispered softly and I nodded slowly.
- I know… I'm really sorry… I put my hands on his arms and just leant back against him, closing my eyes. He sighed and leant his chin on my head.
- I love you… he whispered and I choked. He turned me around and looked down on me as I tried to catch my breath.
- You can't say stuff like that when I'm completely unprepared! I complained and he grinned and then bent down and kissed me carefully on the lips. My eyes widened involuntarily before closing. I melted into the kiss, just wanting to be as close as possible.
Relaxing… why not? I thought and grinned into the kiss. He noticed this and moved a bit away to look down at me.
- What? He asked, and I blushed at what I was about to say, which only increased his curiosity.
- You know… there's one way I… can think of to… make you think of other stuff than… vampires… I mumbled and he grinned at me. Then he caressed my cheek and I dared to glance up at him. For the thousandth time, the devotion in his eyes made my insides melt.
- You know, you don't have to do anything you don't want to for my sake, he said firmly and I cocked an eyebrow.
- What makes you think I don't want to? I blurted out without thinking, and then I blushed twenty different shades of red. He laughed and kissed my forehead.
- I won't be able to focus completely on pleasuring you until she's at the very least a thousand miles away from you, he stated and I blushed even harder.
- That wasn't… what I had in mind… I whispered and glanced at him. His eyes widened. Then he laughed slightly and ruffled my hair, kissing my forehead again.
- No, that won't do either. I won't be able to protect you if I was… "Out of it", he stated and I sighed. Then someone knocked on the door, and I slowly walked over to open it. Outside my dad stood, and I glared at him.
- What do you want? I asked and he glanced at Jacob.
- I have spoken to Carlisle, and we agreed that you two should head towards La Push. Isabella and Edward will meet up with you halfway there, to explain things more thoroughly, he said and I felt Jacob stiffen next to me.
- When should we leave? Jacob asked, his voice low.
- As soon as possible. Kelly is on her way to pick up Lily's things in school. You should start to pack. Amelia is making food for the both of you… he looked at me and smiled serenely, but the look in his eyes witnessed of a deadly determination. He closed the door and that made me wake up from the trance of confusion I had previously been in. I looked up at Jacob and flinched at the murderous look in his eyes.
- Jake… Jake, are you alright? I whispered and he suddenly seemed to wake up too, and looked down at me, confusion shining in his eyes.
- Yeah… you should pack… he replied and I nodded. I quickly opened my wardrobe, grabbing a big red bag from the bottom shelf. I opened it and began to pick out clothes. I then stopped and looked at Jacob.
- You said it rained a lot… I hinted and he nodded.
- Yes. Pack your umbrella. Even if it doesn't rain in La Push as much as it rains in Forks, it still rains quite a deal, he confirmed and I nodded. I began to pack warm clothes, along with my two raincoats and then I looked at my CD-player. Jacob laughed.
- It will be hard to fit all of your CD's in that bag, he stated and I just smiled at him. I opened one of my drawers and picked out an iPod and its charger.
- This will do fine… I said and put it in my bag, along with "The Chronicles of Narnia", "His Dark Materials" and "The collected works of Tamora Pierce". Jacob just stared.
- You're gonna carry all that? He asked and I shrugged.
- I really want to bring the whole bookshelf but… he just laughed and put his arms around me. Although, I could see he was still watching the door and window. I sighed and closed the bag. I removed one of the paintings from the wall and opened the safe built in behind it. Jacob just stared.
- I didn't realize you had a safe there! He confessed and I grinned.
- That's kinda the point, I replied and took out my wallet. He stood behind me, staring in at the safe.
- It's… a bit empty, don't you think? He asked and I laughed.
- The credit cards in this, I held up the wallet, is worth quite a lot, with that confirmed I closed the safe again and put the wallet in my bag. I then quickly got dressed, blushing as I noticed Jacob was watching.
Someone knocked on the door, and Jacob growled.
- Are you two done? Kelly asked, but didn't open the door.
- Yes, we are, I hurried to say and opened the door to involuntarily inhale at the sight of her.
Beautiful… I thought and the nodded and looked at my bag, then cocked an eyebrow.
- You bringing your whole room? She asked and I glanced at my bag. It almost looked as if it was about to burst. I shrugged.
- It's just… necessary stuff… I mumbled and then felt Jacob's body heat at my back. Kelly glared up at him, and I could sense him glaring back.
- Could you two please stop glaring like that? Jake, we need to go eat… I said timidly and went back inside to get my bag. As I slung it over my shoulder I noticed how Jacob and Kelly seemed to be whispering to each other, to silent for me to hear. He seemed angry, while she looked impatient. As I got closer they stopped.
- Food, he said and walked downstairs, leaving me alone with Kelly. I just gaped after him.
- What did you say to him? I whispered and she looked at me, her eyes surprised.
- Huh?
- I've been trying for the whole morning to get him to relax enough to realize you wouldn't hurt me, and he kept insisting… argh! This is too much! I exclaimed and stomped down the stairs. I could hear Kelly chuckle behind me, and I sighed. Jacob was standing in the doorway to the kitchen, waiting for me. I put the bag down by the door and went into the kitchen. I sat down and Jacob sat down next to me. No one else sat. Mum was standing by the stove, cleaning it. Kelly went inside the living room, and dad was nowhere to be seen. I looked at the food, pasta carbonara in a plate, for me, and another plate with 5 big steaks along with some potatoes. I stared at the steaks.
- You gonna eat all that? I asked and Jacob nodded.
As we stood outside, mum handed Jacob a map.
- Here… if you get trouble finding your way… you'll meet up with Isabella and Edward there, she pointed at the map. Then she looked at me and back at Jacob. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
- Take care of her, she whispered and I felt how tears began to fill my eyes. I glared down at the ground, angrily blinking them away. I sighed and looked at mum. She was openly crying as she threw her arms around my neck. I didn't let my tears start falling; I just hugged her quickly and then walked over to dad. He stood next to Kelly, arms crossed across his chest, his face bitter.
- Thank you for your help… I said and gave him a hug. He hugged me back and whispered:
- Be careful… listen to Isabella and Edward… I let go of him to look at his face, but it was as emotionless as could be. I then turned to Kelly. She smiled.
- I'm sorry I didn't get to know you better, she said simply and I glanced at Jacob, now in wolf shape, and I nodded.
- Me too. Take care of them, I said and nodded towards my parents. She grinned widely.
- I strongly doubt that's necessary, she stated and I walked over to Jacob. I put the bag on my back, and climbed up on his back. Without further ado, he started to run.
Really now, it wouldn't be a Twilight Fanfic if there was no encounter with Bella and Edward, right?
Now... what's going to happen when they meet...
