Chapter 12 - Jacob Black
When Jacob walked into the room, I had to bite my lip to stop myself growling at him. Despite my anger, my humiliation, and the other emotion that I couldn't quite pinpoint, I felt happy near him. I was irritated beyond belief by this fact.
"What do you think you're doing?" I snapped at him, silently noting his torn clothes, the smell of leech on his skin. He was dirty, and the odour that came with him smelt like… well, it smelt like dung, to be frank.
"Coming to see my imprint," he said, smiling his signature smile. I shot him a 'look' and the smile fell off of his face instantly.
"Jacob. It feels like the imprint's one way - it feels like I'm tied to someone who keeps running from me. You told me you loved me just a few days ago, and let's face it, you aren't acting like it," my voice broke. "If you're… I don't think we should… I can't…"
I was rambling, tears shining in my eyes. I wasn't going to cry in front of him - instead, I feigned a yawn and hoped that he'd put the tears in my eyes down to that instead.
"Lee, I'm sorry," he whispered. "I can -"
"No Jacob, you can't. I've been running after you all too long. If pain's the only way to do this, then so be it," I snarled, and then, I jumped out of bed, and lunged towards my imprint.
He didn't try and restrain me as I proceeded to punch and kick every part of him. The unfazed look in his eyes only angered me, until finally, I slammed my knee right up into his privates.
Finally, a reaction. He yelped, hands flying to protect down below, and he collapsed onto the floor with a groan. I heard running footsteps from outside, and let out a small sound of surprise. Then, without giving him a second glance, I dived out of the window, landing on my feet, and rushing into the forest.

I'd been sat on my own for about ten minutes when Jacob arrived. He trotted into the clearing in wolf form, a low whine coming from his teeth as he saw me. I sighed and looked back at him. I felt bad for… well, kicking him where the sun doesn't shine.
"I'm sorry," I said, sincere. "And you are too. I know. You want to protect her, you used to love her. I understand. I'm going to back you up now Jake - so do me a favour, and treat me like we actually know one another!"
Jacob whined and nodded. He walked over to me, resting his russet head on my lap. I combed through the reddish fur, and he purred gently as I did so. I sighed, looked up into the sky. It was night time now - twilight. The stars shone brightly above us, winking every so often. A full moon was clear in the sky, and I stared up at it, closing my eyes for a brief second.
Jacob disappeared back into the forest. I assumed he had gone to phase, and barely a second later, he reappeared, wearing his beige cut offs. He smiled shyly at me, sat down carefully, wincing a little when the movement hurt his… injury.
"I'm sorry," I said again.
"Leah, it's fine," he replied, gentle.
Jeez.
We both stared up at the sky in a very clichéd way. Jacob put his arm around me and I snuggled into him.
A loud bang filled my ears. I looked up at Jacob, alarmed, but he'd heard nothing. A second later, my vision was consumed by blackness, and before I could comprehend what was happening, I was out like a light.

Yeah, I know, crappy and short. If any of you's have Twitter, remember to look for meh! I'll keep you updated on update progress and you'll probably see the Ramblings Of A Mad Soap (which I briefly considered writing, lol)
PS: I know, this is a little crappy, and the cliffhanger is crappy too. Don't worry, all becomes a little better next chap - I hope. Anyways, peace out, and remember to tell me about the COMPO?
Anybody interested?
