Moonlight
Jacob's Point of View
Authors Note: Inspiration came and went at random for this story. I'd be taking notes in class and bam an idea of where to take it, or watching my friends play video games (beginning by the way). Honestly I had no idea where to take this and with the lack of updating it didn't make it any easier. I hope you all enjoy it Sorry if it's just a filler. Random reviews also helped a lot, just check stats and wow a random reviewer and a burst of inspiration. Alixandria your wish is my command. Joy89: Thank you for the review of inspiration. And LabyrinthChild05: for understanding. School is over and the updating shall happen. P.S. If it were up to Evan (friend) the world would burn and this would be the last chapter. But luckily it's not up to Evan.
"So what's going on" I ask watching the bazaar scene unfold in front of my eyes. Paul comes outside just as I ask my question and looks to Embry and Seth who are watching from Emily's porch swing.
"I guess it's some kind of ritual thing they do down south." Seth suggests his voice sounding like he wasn't sure at all. I look back to the fight of two men, wearing nothing but cut offs and dueling each other with only their bodies. "Like a dominance thing, I guess the strongest of each tribe down south goes to different tribes to fight their worriers."
"Something like that" I look over to Phil who is walking up to us, his face covered in dried blood and scratches fading on his arms. "It's a pride thing, the women do it to when they phase as well" He leans against the wall next to Paul. "I was actually surprised to hear you boys didn't do it, what with the groups getting so large and all"
"Guess we never felt the need too." Sam suggested. "The boys here are all like brothers if not actually brothers, and nobody would want to fight Leah" He chuckled a little. "Sue called, it's time for group one to head up for dinner, and for group twos helpers to go prep"
"Alright ill pass on the word" Phil took off in a jog towards the mosh pit.
"Hey how's Bella doing?" Paul asked I turn to look at him, his face didn't seem like its normal taunting self but actually concerned. All eyes were on me now as they waited for a reply.
"Uh good I think, she's been with her Uncle and father in the home land prepping for her transformation. She's not allowed contact here until it happens cause of the fact she's been around humans for so long she needs contact with her own kind"
"Must be rough, I couldn't imagine being away from Rachel for that long"
"It's not easy, but for some reason I don't feel the pain of her not being by my side constantly like I was expecting"
"That's weird" I nod at his reaction and look to the ground, there may not be pain associated with Bella not being in my arms but it was still depressing not being able to see her or even hear from her. "You know what we need?" I look up at him and his really excited voice.
"What's that?"
"We need a big trip to Olive Garden when Bella gets back."
"Sounds like a great idea" Seth chimed in, I had totally forgotten he was sitting there, he nearly gave me a heart attack. "Oh shoot! I was supposed to get stuff from Walmart, Jake mind driving?"
"Sure, we'll take the truck"
"Why cause it still smells like Bella?" I just look at him.
"Embry Wanna go?" He jumped up and raced Seth to the truck for dibs on window seat. I sigh and get into the driver's seat and wait for the boys to stop fidgeting around.
"Jacob you have school tonight" Dad called, I nodded to him and took off down the dirt road.
"Hellow" Seth answered my phone just as I reached for it. "Yes this is Jacobs's phone" I hit him in the back of the head and turned back to the road. "Hey Jake, Esme said she can't make it tonight so will next week be good for school?"
"Yeah, just have her tell dad. He'll never believe me that school was cancelled."
"She said she already took care of it"
"Ok" He clicked off the phone and set it in my lap.
"There just so you don't get your panties in a knot" I glare at him from the corner of my eye as we pull into the Walmart parking lot. The phone buzzed as I put the truck into park and I snatched it jumping away from Seth and out of the truck.
"Jacob here"
"Hey Jake" The sound of her voice made my heart jump I nearly dropped the phone. "Jacob?" She spoke again I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. "Jacob? Seriously are we going to do this every time I call?"
"Im here" I spoke finally breathing hard. So this is what it was like to have your imprint on the other side of the world. No pain, no the heart numbed up for that, but acting like a total idiot with Seth and Embry in the Walmart parking lot. Yes. Yes it was a very weird reaction. "Sorry. Embry was showing me something"
"NO I wasn't" Embry yelled from the background, I wiped around and glared at him hard.
"Jacob, we do this every time I call, and you always blame the boys."
"Oh" I sighed leaning my head against the truck.
"Anyways. Im coming home today" I head popped up hitting the inside of the truck frame denting it. "What was that?"
"Er... Nothing. I can fix it" I muttered, pointing at Seth and back at the dent. Seth grabbed the rubber mallet from the back of the truck and I took off in a different direction so Bella wouldn't hear anything else. "So youre coming home today?"
"That's what Uncle says" She sighed.
"So is everything… you know your elf side. Are you good?" I ask not sure how to phrase it.
"Yes Charlie and I both changed and everything went well. We can control ourselves so not to hurt anyone not that it affects you much you heal instantly" She laughed, I smiled hugely unable to control myself. "So our flight gets in at nine tonight"
"Youre flying? Bella you can teleport why aren't you taking advantage of that?"
"Uncle doesn't want to test it on a large scale. Plus you know how much I like being normal"
"BUT YOURE NOT NORMAL!" I almost shout drawing attention to myself.
"I would like to keep up some form of normal life if I can. I mean we do have a huge battle coming up and I turn into a giant winged beast"
"Im sure youre not giant, Bella youre tiny" She sighed, and I could imagine her rolling her eyes at me. "So tonight?" I ask trying to get her to talk again, I already missed her voice. Pain hit my gut as I waited for a response.
"Dude youre shaking?" I look over to Seth who holds his hands up. "Easy man, just take a deep breath. You can phase here too many Walmart folk"
"Yes tonight, bring the rabbit I have two others coming with Uncle and Charlie will be back next week" I breathed a deep breath of relief as she sang over the phone. I looked at my watch finding it already noon. I had so much to do; flowers and chocolates for my love maybe a mariachi band! Oh shit and I have to clean out the rabbit. "I have to go pack, see you in a few hours" She hung up the phone leaving me standing there in shock. A few hours. A FEW HOURS and I can hold my imprint again.
"Seth get your shit we have stuff to do" I barked heading back to the truck.
"I already got it when you were flirting"
"I was not flirting" I glared at him, jumping in the truck. "Bella's coming back tonight, we have to clean out the rabbit and go pick her and her friends up at the airport.
"But she can teleport?" Seth began I just gave him a look. "Oh right, it is Bella" He rolled his eyes. "If I could teleport I would jump all over the place"
"Then it's a good thing that you can't huh" Embry joked. "Unless you imprint on an elf we won't have to worry about that"
"What you talkin bout willis"
"Remember what everyone said. If a pair pairs up with an elf then the other may acquire those skills and shifts things" Embry states.
"You make no sense brother, if that were true Jakey would have wings!"
"Dude, only males of the elven can do that. Since the females cant imprint then male shifters imprint on them therefore there's no need for that. Get you facts straight" I tell both of them in their little tiff.
"Yeah dude get your facts straight" Seth mocked grinning at both Embry and I. I pity the girl who has to put up with him for the rest of their lives, thank god he can't acquire eleven teleport, the shit he would do. I shuddered inwardly so nobody would question it as I pulled up to the house.
"Damn Jacob, haven't seen you this happy in a while" Dad commented walking out to the truck, sometimes it was still a shock that he could walk.
"Bella's coming home today, I have to clean out the rabbit" I explained jumping out of the truck and slamming the door.
"Technically she's coming home tonight" Seth chimed in following me into the garage where the Rabbit sat for the last few weeks while I was driving Bella's truck. "Damn bro" I look back at him seeing him eyeing my car.
"Just a little messy, got to fix it up" I pulled the tarp off the car sending dust flying everywhere. I open the door when the dust clears and start her up and back her outside where Embry stands ready with the hose purposely hitting me with water as I close the door. Slowly I turn to look at him. "Oh you are so dead" I pull the hose from his hands spraying him with it. Seth jumps on me from behind taking me down in to the mud the hose flying out of my hands as I aim to catch myself. Seth scrambles for the hose spraying himself in the face and colliding with Embry.
"What is going on here?" I look over at dad and a grin crosses my face as Seth and Embry smirk as well. "Oh no, No Jake! Don't get any ideas" Seth jumps up grabbing the hose and aim it at dad who dodges him.
"You know dad, I think you need a hug" I get up from the mud and stagger towards him, Embry follows suit with Seth holding the hose behind him. "I just love you so much"
"I don't need your love right now" He hold his hands up infront of him.
"Aww dad don't be like that. Don't you love me?" Embry tracks around him to his left as I cover center right. Hopefully he doesn't make a run for it. He looks at all three of us not seeing the opening left for him and backs up towards Seth sneaking him into a head lock pulling the hose from his hands.
"Back, Back I say." He aims the water at both us, I nod to Embry you proceeds to stalk the old man. We were already soaked, and the cold water felt good on our hot skin.
"Uh guys? A little help?" Seth manages between jerks from dad as he shuffled around with him under his arm.
"Just hang in there Seth" Embry calls catching my eye as he backs away slowly, I look up behind dad seeing some of the other packs lined up with water guns and water balloons.
"Am I finally scaring you off?" Dad asks shifting the hose at us laughing. "Holy shit" He exclaimed, dropping the hose and Seth at the same time. "When did you have time to call for back up?"
"We could be asking you the same old man" I nod behind him taking a glance at me, finding more men and women holding water guns and balloons. "Holy Fucking Shit"
"You can say that again" Dad commented looking around, they surrounded us, we were their targets not each other. They weren't on my side or dads. We were only armed with a hose we didn't have any toys in the house we could use. Nothing. I looked to my fellow comrades they watched me as if I were in charge.
"Nose Goes" Seth's finger flew this his nose, and I nearly took mine off leaving dad standing there looking really confused.
"God damnit I suck at this game"
"Hey look Charlie is home" Embry pointed to the cop car pulling into La Push. All the eyes followed his fingers and the guns became ready aimed at the off duty officer. "Oh shit Charlie's home" He fixed his phrase. I took up the hose.
"When you cant beat them, join them" I announced, Dad ran to the garage grabbing more hoses. Small children ran towards us with guns. And a note.
"Natives vs. Pale faces" Seth read aloud.
"Hell fucking yah!" I roared into the air. Roars erupted around me as men held their weapons into the air. And a smirk came to my face. "Kid get me a pen" he pulled one out of his pocket and I crossed out the previous words. 'Women vs Men' I jotted down and sent him back to where ever he came from taking the gun from his hands and handing it to Seth.
"Men vs Women!" A voice came over the crowd people began dispersing into two groups. Charlie awkwardly pulled up to the house and getting out slowly only to get hit with a mud filled water balloon.
"What the…" He turned to look at me as I held up my hands. "Someone is dead meat"
"Oh look at the time?" I checked my wrist for a watch and took off running for the house. Seth Embry and I had just enough time to get cleaned up and drive to the airport leaving an all-out fun war behind.
Later that day
The airport in Seattle was slow for once, not a lot of people in our area anyways. I stood with Seth and Embry against a wall instead of cut offs we were all dressed nicely pants, shoes and button up shirts; completely opposite of how we looked just hours before. They insisted they wanted to make sure I didn't stand out like a sore thumb. I held flowers and left the chocolates in the car for Bella as did Embry and Seth for the other girls so they didn't feel left out. Im just sure they were hoping they would imprint on them.
"Do you see her?"
"How much has she changed?"
"Will you both just calm down?" I bark at them, then look at me and then at each other grinning. "Im nervous enough I don't need you two to add to it" I sigh looking at my shoes.
"Jesz Jacob youre acting like youre standing at the end of the isle waiting for a bride" Embry joked.
"Don't give him any ideas" Seth retorted I glare at both of them. I looked around the airport spotting Bella just coming down the escalator with two girls who looked very similar to her just a step behind her. "Damn" Seth followed my gaze to the women.
"You can say that again" Embry replied.
"Damn" Seth whispered again and then laughed slightly.
"Jake!" I look up to a Bella running towards me, as I blink I feel her in my arms wrapping her own around my neck. I sigh breathing in her scent my body calming instantly from a high I didn't know I was on. The room is silent around me as I hold my imprint in my arm for the first time in just under a month. Bella looks up first at me and then at the two stunned looking natives. And then two very shocked looking girls. Well damn it's a good thing they already got the flowers.
"Jacob, Embry and Seth" Bella introduced to her friends. "And guys this is Nicole and Alixandria" She pointed to the two brunettes next to her Nicole had short brown hair and the other one had long hair down to her lower back.
"It's nice to meet you both" I greet since Seth and Embry are a little in shock. "Shall we get going?" I offer my arm to Bella who slips her arm in and lead them out of the airport to the rabbit. I open Bella's door and let her in before heading to my side. The girls climb into the back of the rabbit and I turn to face the boys.
"Well we didn't think this through." Embry commented.
"Yes we did, get on home" I point to the trees.
"But!" Seth whined.
"Go" I point again using my alpha voice. "There is no way im going to get pulled over with six people in a four seater car" Seth pouts as he and Embry take off in a jog towards the trees I wait for them to hit the trees before getting back into the car.
"So that wasn't what I expected"
"Yeah so much for getting a new start on life and being able to date"
"But those boys, oh my lord" It was apparent that I wasn't supposed to listen to this conversation. Instead I focused on my imprint.
"So just a warning, I might have left La Push a little disheveled"
"What did you do?"
"Just started an all-out mud war between men and women" I shrugged and pulled out my phone as it buzzed. "Jacob here"
"Hey Jake, so the war is still going down, Embry and I snuck in the back way and got the truck well meet you at dinner in an hour in Port A' I texted you the address"
"Sounds good" I hung up and looked at the women watching me.
"You do realize I have super sensitive hearing now" Shit I looked at Bella.
"Surprise?" I asked she laughed and leaned into to kiss me, I loved the way her lips felt on mine. She seemed to be the same temperature still, maybe it wasn't the same change as a wolf's. Our lips leave each other and turn back to the wheel turning the car on and head to the surprise dinner.
