Vera's P.O.V
"Oh Vera; it can't be that bad… I already told you, he's in love with you" called Ginny as I walked it my room, slamming the door and falling into my bed screaming into my pillow. They left me alone for a few hours and I was glad. I felt so conflicted; I was in love with Jacob; I could admit it, but he didn't love me back, and if he doesn't love me back I'm going to kill thousands of people. Where was his choice, that's completely unfair to him!
I laid there, on my bed for about a half hour until I worked up the strength to go back out and see my family. I walked out of my room and went into the living room to see my grandmother sitting on the couch and looking at an old photo book.
"Where's the other's?" I asked sitting down next to her, she flipped to the next page and sighed
"They left, saying that they were giving you time to adjust" I looked at the page she was on. It was a picture of me and my grandfather at the pier; I held a tiny sunfish, and my grandfather's eyes were full pride.
"Seems so long ago that I was the innocent little girl with dreams of being famous fisherman, and ending up on ESPN" She laughed and I smiled
"I blame Michael for putting that ridicules fishing dream in your head" I shrugged, and grabbed the book. It was completely his fault.
"I really miss him" murmured and she wrapped her arms around me.
"As do I little Witch; as do I" I looked into her dark eyes and I wished that I could take away the pain of losing her former wolf. I was on the brink of tears as I remembered that day.
"I don't even remember what he said to make me so angry, all I really remember was yelling at him and then the fire got out of control" I held back a sob as she held me tighter
"Do not cry little one, Ezra told us the dangers, and we took the risks. He would be so proud of how strong you've become." I scoffed, strong; how was I strong?
"Yeah and all my self-control and strength will be shot to hell in a few months if Jacob doesn't_"
"He will love you; Ginny was right" she shuddered "Never thought I'd say that; but he kept staring at you with gazes full of love, it's only a matter of time…" I sighed
"Yeah, a matter of time; unfortunately time isn't on our side, my seventeenth birthday is the day before Halloween, and then to top it all off, this years the Hollows Eve with the New Moon." She closed the photo book and stood up
"No more negativity, we will deal with that when it happens; now the twins are gone and you can go to dinner at Emily's" I sighed slightly and stood up as well
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" I asked and she gave me a small smile
"Maybe…" I rolled my eyes but ran to get ready
I knocked on Emily and Sam's door and shivered into my hoodie. It was freezing; when did it get so cold? The door opened and I saw an ecstatic looking Emily
"Vera; you came!" she shrieked hugging me tightly as I walked inside
"Yes, did you not expect me to come?" I asked and she grimaced
"Sam said that your cousins came; and that you were watching them." I shrugged
"They moved to Forks… They had to finish unpacking, I'm taking advantage of my last night of sanity" I replied bluntly and she laughed and ushered me into the dining room where Kim and Annie sat.
"Hey Vera; I haven't seen you outside of school lately." called Annie and Kim smiled; I sighed
"Been going through some issue's" I murmured and Annie sent me a pity fill glance
"Jacob" she asked and I plopped down in a chair at the table
"YES; he sending me mixed signals… I feel so conflicted." I heard Kim growl
"I don't know why he's fighting it… You're so much better than Bella!" she yelled and I smiled slightly
"You don't like Swan either?" I asked and Kim snorted and Annie laughed
"No one can stand her except Jacob; Paul rants about her all the time." I rolled my eyes
"Well hopefully she won't come around here anymore, after I_" I trailed off and the girls gave me a curious look
"After you what?" asked Kim and I blushed
"I umm, kinda had a little talk with Bella…" I whispered and Emily gasped, and Kim and Annie smiled
"What did you say?" I shrugged
"Err, I kinda asked her to leave Jacob alone, and then I ran into Edward; and maybe threatened him a little…" Emily looked like she was going to pass out, and I heard Annie gasp.
"Threatened him, the Vampire" I rolled my eyes
"He was growling at me; besides I could take him" The rest of the conversation consisted of Emily scolding me for being careless, Kim laughing about what I said to Bella, and Annie looking shocked. We had just finished when Emily pulled the rest of the rolls out of the oven; and as if they had an internal timer in their head the whole pack came shuffling through the door.
Each one of the guys took a look at me then smiled; Seth even gave me a hug before taking a seat next to Annie. I watched Jared run to Kim, and Sam spin Emily around and kiss each of her scars. I sighed
"Vera?" I whipped my head around to see Jacob, standing in the doorway; no shirt and looking like the most handsome guy in the world.
"Yeah" I whispered. The whole dining room had gone silent.
"Can I talk to you?" I gave him a questioning stare, but nodded anyway and he took my hand and led me to the forest.
Jacob's P.O.V
I led my Vera deeper into the woods and she seemed to tense up a little every time I touched her hand. I led her to a small clearing, just about a half mile from Sam's house.
"You know the last time I was in the woods I got attacked by a Vampire?" She said when we came to a stop. I stiffened and I felt the familiar need to phase at the mention of the vampire that had gotten too close to her.
"Jacob; calm down, I was only kidding" the sound of her voice helped me stop shaking and I sighed.
"I know, I just don't like the fact that a leech got that close to you." I growled and she placed her small pale delicate hand on my bicep.
"I could have handled it, he wouldn't have hurt Me." she murmured but all I could think about was her hand on my arm. My wolf was in heaven.
"I just don't want to think about you getting hurt; at all, it drives me insane." she gave a humorless laugh
"Yeah; right" she said she seemed to be somewhere else.
"Look that's not what I came here to talk to you about; Vera I'm going to stop denying the imprint" She gave me a confused glance
"What?" She asked and I sighed
"Vera, I've told you this twice before, I'm not going to deny the imprint; I figured if I was meant to be with Bella, I would have imprinted on her, but I didn't. I imprinted on you, and I realized that you're the one." She shook her head shocked
"I thought you said something like that before, but it seemed like such a crazy idea I dismissed It." she gasped out, and I felt a pang of hurt rush through me. She didn't believe me? I grabbed bother her hands in my large ones and looked her straight in her grey eyes, the eyes I love
"I want you; not Bella, not now; not ever again."
Vera's P.O.V
I think I might be in heaven, but to be in heaven I would have to be dead and I'm not that lucky. Jacob was standing here, holding my hands telling me that he want to be with me…
"Really" my voice came out like a squeak. He nodded
"Will you go on a date with me?" he whispered and I almost fell out with a heart attack
"Like a date; you're not going to take me to see a witch flick, or get mad if you see Bella with the vampire" he stiffened slightly and I sighed
"I won't like it" I removed my hands from his and felt instantly cold afterwards.
"She choosing to become a leech, I may not be in love with her anymore, but she's still my friend." I gave him a hopeful glance.
"So you're not in love with her anymore?" he shook his head
"I think I like witches more…" he trailed off and I smiled
"Okay." I said and he cocked an eyebrow a smile twitching at the corners of his perfect lips.
"Okay what?" he pressed and I smiled slightly
"Okay I'll go on a date with you" he gave me one of the biggest smiles I had ever seen and picked me up and spun me in circles. I laughed as he put me back down
Maybe I'm not so screwed.
Okay, I finally got this chapter out... and I'm really glad
