-JPOV-
After the thing that happened in the bathroom I avoided Paul like the plague. That was 2 weeks ago.
Everyone tried to get me to talk about what happened because apparently I looked like "someone kicked my puppy" but I just said the same thing.
"I'm fine." My voice was completely hollow, no emotion whatsoever.
"CUT THE SHT JAYLA, YOU ARE NOT FINE ! JUST TELL EVERYONE WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED! ALL OF YOU ARE ANNOYING THE FUCK OUT OF ME." Leah yelled across from me on Sam's burgundy couch. I glared at her.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP LEAH! IF IT ANNOYS YOU THEN FUCKNG LEAVE! NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE ANYWAYS!" I stood up shaking. Who the fuck did she think she was yelling at me? I was not a child and did not appreciate someone yelling at me. She looked at me with an angry expression but I could see her eyes starting to water. Fuck. "Leah I'm sorry I didn't m-" she cut me off.
"Yes you did. Fine. You wanted me gone and now I am." She left the house within seconds.
"Wow Jayla that was really harsh." Jade said.
"Are you serious? Did you not here what she said to me first?" I already felt bad but the fact the others were scolding me pissed me off.
"Ya, but its Leah, she's always been like that." Embry said. I looked at him with an icy look.
"So what? Just because she's always a bitch its okay for her to say what she wants but when she pisses me off when I'm already angry it's a fucking sin? You know what fuck all of you. This is bullshit. I'm done." I got up from the loveseat by the door and walked out of it not sparing anyone a glance.
I had no idea where I was going all I knew was that I needed to get away from Sam's house immediately. So I ran. And ran. And ran.
When I stopped I was on top of the cliffs. I didn't know if I was in the northern area or south. I hope I was in the south because I knew Paul had patrol today and I didn't want to run into him for reasons you all know.
I sat on a rock that was close to the edge so I could see the water below me. It was beautiful. The indigo water moved like one and was all in sync. Even when something interrupted the water like big boulders, all the water worked together to put the problem behind them. I sighed.
Why couldn't my life work in sync with what I wanted and needed? I knew that I wanted Paul but I didn't think I needed him but the pain in my chest told me I did.
But how could you need someone who causes you pain?
"Your pretty," said a deep yet smooth voice. I turned around and looked behind me and saw a tan guy. He had short hair, copper eyes, and a nice muscled body...in fact... he looked a lot like Paul. "Beautiful actually, what's your name?" he tilted his head in a precise way that made him look completely in control of his body. It was creepy.
"Why?" I said in a way that told you to fuck off and leave me alone. He laughed. His laugh sounded like bells. What the actual fuck? Whose laugh was that perfect?
"You're a feisty. I like that. Love it actually." His eyes gleamed and I was officially creped the fuck out.
"I don't remember asking for a list of things you loved. Now if you would leave me alone that would be lovely." I said turning back around.
Suddenly he pulled me towards him. his grip on my arm was hard, I was sure I was going to have a bruise for at least a minute. I quickly took my arm out of his hand and spun his arm around so it was behind his back. He laughed once again.
"What are you? There's no way a regular human would be able to do this to me." he said smiling.
A regular human...what the fuck?
Regular human
Regular human.
What the fuck?
I quickly released him and pushed him away from me at the same time. Once I did that I smelled something that instantly made me growl.
Vampire.
But how could I not smell that before?
He laughed again.
"I masked my scent." He said answering my question...did I say that out loud? WHAT THE HELL! Was I losing my mind? The fucker laughed again. "No, I can just read your mind." He smiled.
He took a step closer to me. His smile was evil. He was infront of my in seconds touching my face within in the blink of an eye. I quickly moved out of his way.
"Ah, so your names Jayla. That's different. Like you." He smiled a charming smile and I snarled at him.
"what the fuck do you want creep?" I said.
"You, your an amazing creature- what the? Why can't I read your mind anymore?" he looked confused. It was my turn to smile.
"I blocked it. for a vampire your pretty stupid. Haven't you been around for like hundreds of years or some shit?" I said in a bored voice...which I was. I mean isn't this what all the vampire movies say happen?
A vampire finds a beautiful non – vampire he likes her, tries to get, blah blah blah.
"Oh yes I defiantly want you." He smirked. I snorted.
"That's not gunna happen, sweetheart." Once again he was infront of me in seconds.
"Yes. It . will." he said in a menacing, intense voice.
Before I could respond I heard a growl. I moved away from him quickly to move out of the way from the pack. When I saw who it was I almost ran back to the vampire.
No, seriously.
Of – fucking – course it would be Paul to 'save' me.
He looked me in the eye and I turned my head before we could feel that stupid 'imprint spirit'. Paul growled at the threat once again. I turned to look at him and saw he was smiling widely. That's strange..
"Why the fuck are you smiling so much?" I said aggravated. From his expression you could tell he was having a great time.
"Funny how we both happen to like the same girl huh Paul?" he said smiling again. Paul growled menacingly.
"Like the same girl? What the hell is going on?" I exclaimed.
"Should I tell her? Or you?" he smirked at Paul. Paul just continued growling. "Alright I will, you see me and Paul have met before. In fact we're related but the familial bond has been long gone am I right pal?" this guy was clearly having a great time at making Paul angry. I almost choked at what he was saying.
"Related how exactly?"
"Cousins, though we were in fact best friends...until I fucked his girlfriend in 9th grade." He snorted. "Something stupid to end a friendship over in my opinion. She was a slut after all." I looked at him in disgust. What a dick.
"Your a prick." I said with disdain wrapped heavily around my words. He laughed.
"Don't worry babe, you'll get used to it." I snorted.
"Don't count on it, fucker, I'd rather die a thousand deaths then be with you." My voice was thick with hatred.
Obviously everyone in the Lahote family had a bad temper because. Suddenly the Paul's cousin was behind me bending my arm in an un-natural angle. It hurt like a bitch. He put his mouth near my neck. This must have made Paul angrier because suddenly he pounced on him. I quickly moved out of the way when I saw him jump. The boys fought while I just stood there, honestly I had no idea what to do every time I tried to help Paul he would push me out of the way with his back paws. Asshole.
I 'phased' in and my head was suddenly filled with voices.
"Jayla whats going on?" Sam said.
"Where are you and Paul?" Jake said.
"Is Paul fighting a human in his wolf form? Sam's defiantly going to kill him." Quil said snickering.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP EVERYONE! Paul is in a fight with a vampire and I'm trying to help but he keeps pushing me out of the way. Now come help him." I showed them the location in my head and blocked out my mind.
Before the pack even showed up Paul's cousin pushed Paul to the other side of the forest and then came to face me.
"We will meet again my beautiful Jayla," he smiled, his outfit was completely shredded, the skin on his arms were scraped and this asshole still had a smile on his face? Then in seconds he was gone. I quickly ran over to where Paul was and saw he phased back. The rest of the pack soon showed up. Jared carried Paul on his back and ran to Sam's.
"WHICH WAY DID HE GO JAYLA" Sam said.
"I don't know, he said he'd see me again then disappeared." I felt so useless at this point. I just couldn't help anyone today.

When we got back to Sam's , Paul was sitting at the table eating with Jared right beside him. when I walked through the door Paul's head automatically turned to look at me, I don't know why, but I thought he would say something to me. I mean wouldn't this be the perfect time to squash everything that happened between us? I knew he cared about me in some way... I mean why else would he come during the encounter with the vampire?
After everyone finished eating Sam called a pack meeting. Sam told Paul and I to tell the story so everyone could address the situation with the same information.
"Wait a second, Paul; is this the same vamp from last summer?" Jacob said.
"Yes-"
"I thought you killed Henderson?" Jared said looking as confused as ever.
"I thought I did too. Fuck. What the hell are we going to do?" Paul said getting angry, the lines between his eyebrows were starting to form.
"Paul calm down. We have to come up with a carefully thought out plan-" Sam was saying but someone's cell phone rang interrupting him.
"Hello?... Hey mom...can it wait like 15 minutes?... okay okay I'm coming." Collin hung up his phone and looked at Sam. "Well I gotta go." He got up and walked to the door. "Bye."
"Yeah I gotta go too, my mom just texted me." Brady got up and followed Collin out the door.
Sam looked stressed. His hands were holding his temples rubbing in a circular, calming motion. He took a deep breath.
"We'll finish this discussion tomorrow after school. I'll try to think of a plan. Tell the others." Sam walked out of his living room and into the backyard for patrol. Kelly, Justin and Leah followed him after a few minutes.
I got off the couch, hugged everyone goodybye- except Paul and walked out towards my car. When I got to my car I saw a dead crow on my windshield. This may take away from my bad bitch attitude that I had going on but I screamed- I screamed so loud. It wasn't just a dead crow. The crow's eyes were a deep red and wide open staring at me.
The boys ran out of the house.
"What's wrong- what the fuck is that?" Embry shouted.
"It's a fucking crow fool." Paul said standing beside me. I moved away from him.
"Can someone just take it off my fucking car so I can go home?" I said after taking a breath... okay after taking a few deep breaths.
Quil took it off my car, and then Paul got the hose and washed the burgundy blood on the glass. I hurriedly thanked them then drove home freaked out of my fucking mind.
Something told me this was just the beginning.
