Familiar in the Face

Jacob's POV

Currently I was laying in my bed. I never was able to go back to the Cullens house last night. That red headed leech had come through and left a trail late last night or rather this morning. Sam had decided that was more important than the girl.

After tracking the scent we found it lead all around Bella's house, the bloodsucker was nowhere to be found though. Sam had someone watch the Swan residence now that he thinks it may go after Charlie. Not to mention he still wanted someone to check in on that girl every so often.

He was killing us. He's lucky there are so many of us. I had dreaded telling him that on top of everything the pixie had shown up. Needless to say we have more patrols now then ever.

It wasn't until a few hours after dawn that he actually called us all back to his place for a meeting. Now I was trying to get some sleep before the dictator called us for more patrols. I wasn't having any luck falling asleep though.

Every time I close my eyes my thoughts would drift to that girl. I couldn't figure out what was going on with me. More than anything I wanted to go to her, even when I was away from her right now I just wanted to be close to her.

I thought maybe it was just attraction but it was getting to be frustrating. I let out a sigh of annoyance as I run my hand through my hair. Questions kept popping into my head, wandering why she was staying in the Cullens house and why I was feeling this way.

Giving up on sleep I get up and open my bedroom door. I was hungry anyway. Going to the kitchen I open the fridge and grab a container of left over spaghetti. After heating it up I sit on the couch and grab the remote before turning it on a random channel and eating.

I had barely gotten halfway through eating before my door was thrust open none too softly. Embry has a rushed look to his face. He was breathing rather hard as well, I guess he ran all the way here. "Jake! We have to go. They caught a whiff of that vamp again." Fuck, so soon?

I set my food on the coffee table and get up, seeing this Embry bolts out the door. Following quick on his tail I phase right as I hit the ground beside him. When I was completely phased voices of everyone came into my head.

'This way!'

'No! She went to the right.'

Embry and I made our way in the pack's direction. Mud and rock dug at my paws as I ran. The pounding of my feet echoed in my ears it was so loud I almost mistook it as my racing heartbeat.

It didn't take long before I smelled the scent of the leech. Turning my head towards Embry I notice his nose is in the air sniffing as well. He turns his head to me and nods.

The scent made a complete ninety turn to the right. I started to hear cussing and distant growling from the pack members.

'Damnit!'

'We almost had her!'

Soon we came up on half the pack standing alongside each other. They were facing a cliff. 'What happened?' Quil turned to me as I spoke in my mind.

'That red head vamp just jumped over the cliff. We almost had her too.' Frustration was clear as day even in his thoughts.

The black colored wolf turned away from the cliff and headed away in a huff. 'Everyone back to the house, now!'

Aubrey's POV

I looked through the fridge trying to decide on what to eat. It was nearly three in the morning and I had another horrible dream, well premonition rather. Fighting all of it involved fighting. The dream had woken me up early, which annoyed me seeing as I only get a few hours to sleep anyway.

Something did stick out to me though. The Cullens and the wolves they fought alongside where there, but this time so was I. I never saw myself in dreams before except when I was getting my memories back. Even then I was looking through my own eyes. This time I was watching myself like I had been watching all the others.

I pick out things to make a sandwich. Recollecting what was to be the future as I begin to make the snack.

I was in hiding in the snowy mountains with Edward, Isabella, that younger wolf Seth and Jacob. My eyes had stay on him constantly whenever he was present. I noticed his eyes had been on dream me as well. He'd glance over to me every few seconds as if making sure I was still there.

I hadn't been able to see much though because quickly the scene had turned to one of murder. Edward had been held down by a vampire by the name of Victoria and another one named Riley. The poor boy had seemed disillusioned. In the end they had both been slaughtered though. Their limbs and heads torn apart then burned.

The dream hadn't stopped there like I would have hoped. The newborns were all taken down, except one.

Bree Tanner.

When I had first seen her she reminded me of my little sister. What I could remember of her, her hair was nearly the same color. She was even the same height from what I could tell. Bree's cheeks had been slightly puffier then Lauren's though. Her personality even reminded me of Lauren's. More fragile and scared of course but still similar.

She had hid behind a tree for most of the battle. Carlisle and Esme seemed to have found her there. She was quick to surrender when Carlisle offered her safety. Now her face was imbedded into my brain. All I could do was compare it to that of my sister's.

She was haunting my minds more than the slaughtering had. I saw her past when I had looked into her frightened scarlet eyes. It was horrible.

Shaking that from my mind I eat my ham and lettuce sandwich.

I didn't want to think about that anymore. It was getting me down. Not to mention shaking me to the core.

When I finished eating I cleaned up my mess and went to change. I needed to preoccupy myself otherwise everything was going to come back to me. I'll never get out of this funk then.
