I know I haven't updated in a while, and I'm sorry, but I wasn't happy about this chapter and I got a bit of writer's block. SORRY! But, then today the rest just flew out of my hands like I didn't even need to think about it. So here you go. Chapter Twelve.
CHAPTER TWELVE- Like Vampire, Like Werewolf
**2 Days Later**
I inhaled deeply. Pine, dust, poop, food, animals, even humans. And then finally…Jacob. I smiled and opened my eyes. He was here; I was on the right track. I followed the trail in till I came to a river. His scent stopped and I growled.
Smart, annoying, boy. Jacob knew I would track him, so he uses the river to get rid of his scent. For the pass two days I have been running back and forth from Canada to America. He didn't know where he was going. I sighed and leaned my back on a tree.
I hadn't used any or my "gifts" to try to find him, it never occurred to me in till then. But I knew I had to sleep, I hadn't for the past 3 nights. But I was worried that my family would find me. I wasn't sure if they were following me, or if they had listened and stayed home, waiting for me to come back. I doubt it. My brothers were probably already tracking me.
I sighed again. I needed to sleep to use my powers fully. God this sucks. I walked around in till I found a cave that was empty and laid down. Soon enough I was dragged under.
I was wakened up by someone grabbing the upper part of my arms and jerking me into a sitting position. It was completely dark outside, there was no moon tonight, but I could still see. The person in front of me had dark eyes, and he was glaring at me.
"What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" He growled.
"Looking for you," I whispered. His eyes softened a bit but his hold was form, and the electricity flowed between us. If he noticed, he hid it well.
"God damn it Liz!" He let go of me with a sharp push and stood up. He paced in front of me, every so often glancing at me. "I ran away so you would be safe," he muttered.
"What?" I asked him. He shot me a glare.
"They were going to kill you if you came over the line again. Liz, I know you. You would have, and I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't let you die just to be with me," he whispered the last sentence and smiled softly at me. I stood up and ran to him, at vampire speed, and hugged him.
"I don't want to be alive without you," I whispered softly to him. He smiled a little, but it soon turned into a grimace.
"Your brothers have been tracking you," he said in a hard voice. I looked around nervously.
"How do you know?" I asked him.
"At the river I doubled back over my own track and found this cave. While I was out early this morning I saw them…good thing I caught scent of your trail first and was able to destroy it. And then I came back, only to find you sleeping here on the floor," he told me. I frowned. My brothers left my Mom alone to find me. She was probably about to kill herself.
"Well, then, come on," I tugged on his hand and we jumped forward a little. "We have to find them and go home." I tugged on his arm again but he didn't bulge. I looked back at him. "What?"
"I'm not going back, Liz. I can't. I'm not even part of the pack anymore. I somehow disobeyed Sam and then I could no longer hear anyone in my head, and then I just ran. I'm a coward, Liz. I don't deserver to be with you-"
I smacked him. He stumbled back a little and before he could completely regain himself my hand was at his throat and I had pinned him to the cave wall. My lips were at his throat in less than the time it took to blink. I laid a soft kiss on the arch and then flashed my eyes up to look at him.
"If you keep talking like that," I whispered, my mouth now at his ear. "I'll leave this cave and never even think about you again." I placed a kiss right below his ear and he gulped. "Now," I began with a slight smile and mocking edge in my tone. "Do you want that to happen?" he gulped again, and soon his warm arms wrapped around me.
"No," he whispered while breathing in my scent from my hair. I smiled against his shoulder and grabbed his hand, while pulling away.
"I thought so. Don't worry Jacob; everything is going to work out. You are supposed to be with me. So, just trust me." He smiled at me and shoved himself off the wall, while cupping my face in his hands.
"I do trust you, with my life." He answered. I smiled wider and began walking out of the cave, pulling Jacob along with me.
"Good. Now come on, I have to catch up with my brothers."
He tackled me to the floor and growled in my ear.
"Why. Did. You. Leave?" he whispered in my ear, almost exactly the same thing Jacob did. I looked up at him, my green eyes locking with his brown ones.
"I am sorry," I whispered. "But I came back," I pointed out with a smile. He narrowed his eyes slightly and then after a few seconds he broke into his own smile. He heaved me up and gave me a giant hug, picking me up and twirling me around.
"And I am so glad, sister." I smiled at him as he set me down.
"I missed you Masen." I looked over his shoulder, where my other two brothers still stood completely frozen in shock. "And you guys." That seemed to bring them back to reality. They ran at me and embraced me in a hug at the same time.
"Don't you ever do that again, Liz," EJ growled in my ear. I smiled at him a little.
"I'm sorry." Anthony glared at me and growled. Then he blew up.
"Did you even think about what you were doing to us…to mom? She shut down for hours; she wouldn't even talk to Edward. She cried and sobbed and then sent us out looking for you!" He all but screamed in my ear. I stared at him, wide-eyed and confused. But then hugged him again, ducking my head so it would rest on his stomach.
"I'm so sorry, Anthony. I just had to find him."
"And did you?" Masen asked me from behind. I pulled out of the hug, and smiled.
"Yup. Jacob!!!" I called, even though I could have just talked at a normal tone. Jacob emerged from the bushes behind us and smiled at me. My brothers growled at him when he reached my side.
"This was your fault!" Anthony yelled while pointing his finger at Jacob. "If you hadn't have ran away like a scared little boy, then she wouldn't have had to chase you!" I saw EJ and Masen nodding. Jacob held his head low.
"I know," he whispered. Apparently that wasn't good enough for my brothers.
"We know what happened to Emily, what if you loose control Jacob? We all know how Liz is, what if you get to mad at her? It only takes a second, Jacob; we all know you wouldn't be able to control it. You would-"
"I would never get angry at Liz!" Jacob yelled, stepping forward. But I soon stepped between them and stopped them before a fight started.
"Stop. Please, just stop, all of you!" I looked between all four of them, glaring. "Don't blame Jacob. Has he hurt me yet?" I asked my brothers.
"He left you!" Masen shouted at me.
"He left me to-" I didn't continue my sentence. To protect me. My eyes widened and then I was off- running faster than I ever had. What took two days to canvas and look for Jacob only took 15 minutes. Soon I was in Forks, and then I was breaking down the Cullens house and running in.
Mom stood at my entrance but I focused on who sat next to her. I tackled him, but not out of rage. He fell back on his back and I hugged him, crying into his chest.
"He left to protect me," I mumbled- still bawling. I pulled my head back to look at him. "You left to protect her," I said, smiling but still crying as I looked at him. He was confused and then I rested my head back on his chest. "I forgive you Daddy."
Please review and tell me if you understood why Liz forgave her Daddy. =). No this story isn't over yet, but I still have a little of writer's block. So please, tell me what you want to see in this story. Yhanks and love ya lots,
