Author's Note: Sorry for the super long wait, as some of you know I started college and I just got too busy to write the story. However, I'm back at least for the summer so the story is picking back up, full speed ahead. From here on out, I'm going to try and update once a week if not twice a week. Anyway hope you guys enjoy this chapter.-Jess
Chapter 12
I explain everything to Jacob as we make our way to the border.
"So a human knows about you?" he asks.
"Yep" I say.
"And these Volturi people are coming to what?" he asks.
"Rip his head off from the sound of it" I say.
"And this is why wolves don't deal with bloodsuckers. Way too many politics and secrecy" he says.
"Coming from the guy who turns into a giant wolf and tried to cut people out of his life because he and I quote 'couldn't tell them" I say.
"That was different" he says.
"Sure it was" I say.
"It was, if people found out I wasn't going to kill them" he says.
"Touche" I say.
We reach the border and Emmett jumps out of the car with Brandon in tow. Emmett shoots Jacob a look as he makes his way closer to us.
"Jacob is fine Emmett, stop giving him the stick eye. He's on our side" I say.
"Just making sure" he says pulling me into a hug.
"Uh huh" I say.
"I was! Anyway how you been? I don't have to come kick some butt do I?"
Jacob scoffs, "as if you could."
"Hey, anytime dog boy" Emmett says.
"I've been fine and if you two would stop with all the testosterone, we could get back to the matter at hand" I say.
"I'm just kidding Wolfe, Jacob and I are cool" Emmett says.
Jacob nods in confirmation and Brandon coughs, Emmett shoots him an annoyed look.
"As for the matter at hand…." Emmett says trailing off.
"What no hug for me?" Brandon says.
I blush and Emmett growls.
"You are seriously pushing your luck kid" he says.
Brandon holds his hand up in surrender, "hey I was just asking."
"Anywho...Jacob this is Brandon, Brandon this is Jacob."
"Nice to meet you" Brandon says.
"This is the kid that is causing all the trouble?" Jacob asks.
"He might not look like much, but trust me he can get a whole lot more annoying" Emmett says.
"He is right here and can hear you and he is not a kid" Brandon says.
Emmett and Jacob just look at him in silence and I clear my throat to break the tension.
"Brandon's ability to annoy people is besides the point, we need to figure out what to do with him" I say.
"Hey!" Brandon says in protest.
"Well I am not taking the human garbage disposal back with me. He is sucking me dry with the amount of food I have to buy just to keep him fed" Emmett says.
Brandon chuckles and we all shoot him a look.
"What's so funny annoying one?" Emmett asks.
"You said sucking" he says.
"And that's funny…" Jacob asks.
"Because he's a vampire" Brandon says.
Jacob lifts an eyebrow up at him in question.
"Come on it's a little vampire humor" Brandon says.
Jacob just stares at him and Brandon looks away.
"Wow, tough crowd" he says.
"Back to the issue of where to put him" I say.
"Well we can't keep him here. The pack barely tolerates having Mia here, let alone someone who will bring more bloodsuckers to the area" Jacob says.
"Is there a reason that you guys are talking about me like I'm some lost puppy?" Brandon asks.
"Yeah because you're annoying and eat everything in sight" Emmett says.
"That is uncalled for" Brandon says.
"It was called for especially after the car ride I just suffered through" Emmett says.
"Guys enough! whether we like it or not Emmett, Brandon is our problem. Brandon, yes we are going to help you but don't think that I won't just as easily let Emmett use you as a punching bag. Now if you two are ready to grow up, we finish talking about what to do" I say.
I watch as the four of them come up with a plan to protect the human. I pull out my phone and dial his number.
"What?" he asks.
"They're moving the human" I say.
"Where?" he asks.
I tell him the location and here a chuckle from his end.
"This just keeps getting better and better" he says. "Keep an eye on them, especially the human."
"Yes sir" I say.
There's a click and the dial tone fills my ears as I turn my attention back to the group in front of me.
