Chapter 19
(Bella's POV)
When we heard a throat clear Jake and I managed to break away from each other unwillingly. We were panting hard and the Pack chuckled. We both looked up at the disgusted faces that looked down at us. I felt a small blush form along my cheekbones and the boys laughed together.
"Well, as much as we know that you and Jake just can't get enough of each other, we have a lot of questions for you Bella," Paul griped. I grinned.
"Yeah like…what the hell happened back there!?" he yelled. All of the guys agreed. I sighed.
"As much as Bella wants to tell you right now, maybe we should just wait," Sam said.
"Its not that Sam, its just that it's a long story. And with what I have to say would be harder to explain. I will just have to replay everything in wolf form to show you guys what happened. Its just too messed up and is going to leave you guys shocked," I sighed. Jake looked at me with worry. I gave him a sad smile and cupped his cheek.
"Well, I guess its going to be a while before you show us then," Sam said. My head snapped in his direction.
"Why?" I asked. Sam looked at me for a second with an expression that said "duh!"
"Bella, you just passed out!" he exclaimed.
"So?" I asked, crossing my arms as I sat up. They all eyed me to make sure I would be okay, I simply just rolled my eyes at them.
"Well, I don't think it would be technically to phase yet. Something could have happened and it probably wouldn't be good on your body," Sam explained. I stood up.
"Sam, I'm fine. Look at me I can stand," I griped.
"Well, the thing is can you walk?" he asked me suspiciously. I wanted to prove him wrong. The first step I took was graceful. I smirked at him. He gave me his own smirk back.
"Let's go outside," he gestured towards the door. I shrugged and we all piled out the door. It wasn't pouring outside but it was sprinkling and I saw that it was starting to get dark and I knew it would be soon before Charlie got home. I faced towards Sam.
"What is it that you want me to do?" I asked, with my hands on my hips.
"First, were just going to have to walk and then work your way up," he stated. I shrugged. I started walking and then when he gestured for me to run towards the woods and back to where they were I did. I was a little clumsy though and nearly lost my footing. I hoped that Sam and the guys didn't see that. When I showed back in their faces Sam had a smile on his face.
"I hope you know I saw that almost trip, your not ready to phase yet," he stated. I growled and crossed my arms.
"Why not!? Come ON! I want to phase, and if you guys want to know what happened than that's the best way!" I yelled. He sighed.
"Fine, Jake stay with her," Sam said and the rest of the Pack followed behind him, to change into their wolf forms. I sighed again and glanced at Jake. He was smiling at me.
"What are you smirking at Black?" I asked. His smile grew bigger.
"You're just too cute when you're upset. Its entertaining. All of the boys agreed. Sam thought it was cute too, and laughed at you," he chuckled. Oh so they were laughing at my anger!? I glared at him, and took a few steps towards him.
"So you think I'm not even scary?" I challenged. He shook his head no and laughed. I grinned evilly, and pounced on top of him. His eyes get big when I came at him, and apparently I didn't realize I had morphed in the process but I didn't care. I was teasing Jake now. He struggled with me to get me off of him but I managed to lick his face and he was just laughing at me. When he pushed me off of him gently, he tackled me and pinned me down. We were all officially in wolf form now.
Jake-You thought that was funny?
Bella-Yep I did!
Jake-Don't worry I'll get you back for that one. And you'll just have to suffer.
Paul-Okay! Enough! Jake I saw a glimpse at your little plan! And that was gross! I wish you would have kept that to yourself!
Jake-Shut it Paul.
Embry-Jacob he's right man, it was a little disturbing.
Quil-I agree with Embry.
Bella-I don't!
Jake-See!
Paul-Well of course she would like it! She gets the fun!
Sam-Enough! I think its time to get back on track here. Bella, Jake meet us up.
Bella&Jake-got it Sam
We ran towards where they shown us, and came into an opening. It looked like it was a field. Jake trotted up towards Sam, and I sat down beside Jake.
Sam-Now, can you please let us in on what happened?
I sighed mentally and showed every thing that happened. The Pack mind was completely silent as I let the images run through, and run like a video. When she explained every thing to me the Pack gasped, but didn't say anything. And towards the end, everyone was in complete and utter shock.
Jake-So that was the wolf that came into my dream!?
Bella-It was Jake
Paul-Dude you guys have powers!? That is completely unfair!
Quil-I know! I mean, we are so much cooler than they are!
Embry-I think its just cool that you got to talk to an old legend Bella.
Jared-And the fact that you are related to her!
Sam-All of that stuff makes complete since though. Jacob is supposed to be the rightful Alpha, and if they both have powers than it will make our Pack stronger, and we will be unstoppable. Our tribe will be safe, and more wolves will join us. This is our destiny you guys! This is what our ancestors have set for us! This is what is supposed to happen and what will happen!
Jake-I just am not ready to become an Alpha!
Bella-Jake you can't keep saying that! You're the rightful Alpha of the Pack!
Jake-Great! Sam, then Quil, then the whole Pack, then my dad, and now my Imprint! What the hell!?
Bella- Jake…
Jake-NO! I don't want to hear this anymore! I am NOT going to be an Alpha!
Sam-Jacob you have to!
Jake-I don't have to do shit!
Bella-Jake please! This is what your Great Grandfather wants from you! This will help your Pack, your tribe!
Jake-Just leave me alone about this!
And then he was out of our minds, and ran off from us. I started to cry, and soon found myself running after him.
Sam-Bella, you need to give him space. Let him have his time to think.
Bella-He's mad at ME! He's mad at me Sam! I have to talk to him!
Sam-Bella, maybe you should just let him have his time to think. He needs to calm down. This type of situation is hard to deal with. It's a lot of pressure of Jacob. He going through a lot. And he's not mad at you. He's just confused about all of this. The same way we all are. Just let him think about this. He'll calm down and talk to you when he's ready.
I mentally sighed and noted that the whole Pack was silent throughout everything.
Bella-Fine, I have to get home, and cook for Charlie. I'll do patrol at midnight.
Sam-Alright Bella. That's fine with me. I will most likely have Jake be patrolling with you. Maybe you can talk to him about this.
Bella- I'll try. Night guys.
Everyone-Night Bells.
With that I phased back when I was outside of my house. It was a good thing Charlie wasn't home yet, because I needed to get a change of clothes on. I climbed up the tree and jumped inside of my open window. I quickly shut the window behind me and flicked on the light. I skimmed through my dresser and grabbed some under clothing and grabbed my sleeping shirt and sweats. When I had those on, I went into the bathroom and saw that my hair had some twigs and grass in it. I sighed and ran a brush through it and flew down the stairs and started cooking some food for Charlie. It was probably 7:30 and I was worrying about Jake. Was he mad at me? Why doesn't he want to be an Alpha? I was stirring the noodles when the front door opened, and I heard Charlie's boots trudge in.
"Bella?" he asked. I heard him hang up his coat and gun belt and take off his loud boots.
"In here dad," I said. He walked in and smiled.
"Smells good Bells," he complimented.
"Thanks dad. Why don't you go and watch the game and when dinner is ready I'll bring the food in to you," I suggested.
"Alright, Bella, that sounds like a good idea for me," he said and grabbed a beer out of the fridge. A few seconds later I heard him plop into the chair in the living room and then the TV was turned on. The game must have been on because I soon heard Charlie saying a few things to it. I smiled when I made the last touches towards the spaghetti. I grabbed a plate and put a pile of it onto it, and put a fork through it so it would stay. I walked into the living room and handed it to Charlie.
"Thanks Bells, looks good," I smiled at him and left the room when he started eating. I sighed when I came into the kitchen. I didn't feel like eating. My heart was tugging, like it just wanted to go somewhere. And I knew it had something to do with the imprint. I missed Jake right now, because I didn't know if he was okay or not. I told Charlie I was going to go to bed early and he said he would clean up the food and stuff. I plopped onto the bed when I walked into my room, and immediately fell asleep.
It must have been a few hours later because it was still dark when I woke up. I glanced at my clock and saw that it had just turned midnight. Well, I guess my body knew what time it had to be awake for patrol. I sighed and grabbed a rubber band. When I heard Charlie's snores I smiled and quietly opened my window and hopped outside. When I landed on the grass with a light thud, I ran towards the trees, and stripped myself from my clothing. I tied the clothing around my leg and leaped into the air, soon finding myself in my wolf form. It was completely silent. I could tell there wasn't any kind of thoughts running through the Pack mind, and I knew that Jacob would soon come into my mind. When I thought about Jacob I soon found myself running towards LaPush, I got there faster than I usually did and found myself standing outside of their house. I went towards the side of their house and saw that Jacob's room light was on. I smiled, and phased back in my human form and untied the clothes from around my leg and then put on my clothes. When I was descent I walked out of the woods I peeked into his window. At first I saw nothing, but when I looked towards the bed, I saw Jacob just sitting there. He wasn't wearing a shirt, but was just in his boxers. I blushed, I'm pretty sure Jacob didn't want me to see him in his boxers at this time of night but I didn't care. His back muscles looked tense and he looked like he was thinking hard on something. I sighed and lightly tapped his window. His body snapped in my direction and at first he looked like he was going to kill somebody, which scared me. But when his eyes met mine his expression softened but he had a pained expression in place. I gestured for him to come outside and he opened his window and climbed out. My heart seemed like it was beating hard. And when he stood up to his full height I was just frozen there for a few seconds.
I saw the pain in his eyes and face, and I honestly didn't know if I wanted to say anything to him.
"What is it Bella?" he asked. I let my eyes cascade down and look at the grass.
"You and I are on patrol right now," I muttered. He sighed.
"Okay, you go phase and I will be there in a few," he said and then hopped back into his room. I ran towards the woods and quickly tied the clothes back onto my leg when I changed. I phased and waited for Jake. When I felt his presence it was silent. I was too afraid to think of anything. I knew Jake could sense my fright.
I soon found him right in front of me.
Jake-Bella, what's wrong?
Bella-I'm just afraid to say anything right now.
Jake-Why?
Bella-Jake you know we will end up talking about the earlier situation, right?
Jake-Please, don't bring that up. Please I'm begging Bella.
Bella-I'm sorry Jake. But we HAVE to talk about this. If you talk to me about this, it might help some of the stress that's building up for you.
Jake-Bella, I don't want to talk about it.
Bella-Jake! We have to!
Jake-We don't have to!
It was completely silent after that and Jake was just staring at me. I felt some annoyance build up inside of me, and I took a few steps closer to him.
Bella-Jake I know this has a major effect on you that stresses you out, but this also has an effect on me! This has an effect on everyone! I will be by your side the whole time. I'll help you! Just please talk to me about this.
He didn't think of anything at that moment.
Bella-Jake this is important. You were mad at me not too long ago.
Jake-I wasn't mad at you!
Bella-You were upset that I was agreeing with Sam though! And that's practically the same thing as being mad at me. Please just talk to me about this! Why don't you want to be an Alpha!?
Jake-I don't want to have to order people around! I don't like doing that to my best friends! I'm not the right leader for this Pack! I don't want to have to have people always coming to me for an order! Or a question! I don't want to have to deal with those type of decisions!
Bella-Jake you're Second in Command! You make rules to!
Jake-Actually I don't say anything. All I do is make sure the Pack does what the Alpha wants them to do. I don't want to have everyone depending on me. Like I'm the one they will blame if something happens.
Bella-Jake no matter what I will always be there for you. I'll help you. You will make a good Alpha. Its in your blood. You will make everyone proud. You will lead a good Pack, a very strong, and wise Pack. You will do so many great things for your tribe to. Jake, you will be fine. I know that this is a lot of stress, but I will be there for you. I will help you with as much as you want me to.
He was silent and he just looked liked he wanted to run away. I got close enough to him so I could rub my head against his. I licked his head and muzzle, and when he responded it was like we were sharing some type of wolfy kiss. His tongue lolled out so it was licking and colliding with mine. I chuckled at how weird this was and stepped away.
Bella-Well, that's different.
Jake-What? You don't like making out with a wolf?
Bella-And you do?
Jake-HEY! I'm a good kisser! And I only like making out with a wolf as long as its you baby.
Bella-And who said you were such a great kisser? This happens to only be in human form right? Or in wolf form?
Jake-HEY! Now you're just being insulting! I know I'm a good kisser. I can prove that in many ways. And it actually happens to be in both forms. But they are both wild so I don't see a difference.
I gave a wolfy laugh at him.
Bella-How can you prove that in many ways? Do you usually make out with a mirror or something?
Jake-I absolutely do NOT make out with a mirror! That's just weird!
Bella-Well it makes since if you do. You just as weird then.
Jake-As soon as we are in human form again I will prove it to you.
Bella-Actually I already know you are. I just am teasing you. I'd just prefer you didn't molest me in front of the Pack.
Jake-Since when does molest have to do with me being a good kisser?
Bella-You'd be surprised at what you do!?
And that was when I took off running and howling with laughter. Jake stood there for a second and thought about the words I just said. Man he was slow not to get that one! And then he finally pieced it together and took off running after me.
We ran around for a few hours but made sure that patrolling was being done at the same time. It was almost 6 in the morning when we felt another presence enter our minds.
Sam-Jake, Bella you guys can go get some rest if you want. Paul, Jared, and I will take over now.
Jake- Alright Sam.
And with that Jake and I both phased, separately of course. And when I had changed into my clothing he had stepped out from behind a tree and walked up to meet me.
"Well that patrol was probably about the best I've ever had," I laughed. He rolled his eyes at me and then gave an evil grin.
"SO, you still think I'm not a good kisser?" he asked as he backed me up towards a tree. I gulped.
"I never said you were, I admitted you were a good kisser at the end," I stated.
"But you practically said that I molest you," his eyebrow rose with humor.
"Whatever you say," I rolled my eyes.
"I guess we'll have to test that whole kiss thing out later on some other time huh? I mean we don't want your dad to come back here or better yet seeing us making out on your bed now do we?" I blushed even at the thought. Charlie may love Jacob like a son, but I am his daughter and I bet he would chase Jake all the way back to the Reservation with his shotgun.
"Yeah, we really don't want that. I would get in trouble, but you would be the one suffering with a shotgun bullet in your butt," I chuckled. He rolled his eyes and took my hand in his, turning us towards my house.
"Well, its not like it would do a lot of damage to e anyways because I am a werewolf, and I bet it would either just bounce off of my skin or just go into it and not hurt at all," I laughed. When we got to the house the cruiser was still in the driveway and I knew we couldn't just walk in the front door. It was still 6 in the morning. So Jake and I both climbed up the tree and jumped in through my window.
But from what we saw took us by surprise.
We hadn't even paid attention to any type of smells whatsoever on the way here.
And right in front of us stood-
OK! I know you want to kill me right about now! Hehe, I know I leave it in the worst places for a cliffy but this one I might have you guys guess, at first and then tell me who you think it should be in Bella's room. I already know who it us (duh!) lol but if you guys have a great idea to add to it please do! Your requests would just make this story MUCH better! Anyways tell me your guess in a review and who YOU think you would want to be in there. R&R hope you loved this chapter. It was pretty long.
