When Jacob didn't appear in the woods that night, Edward started getting nervous. He waited three days in the same spot before he was too hungry to stand it and left to hunt in a different area. He was sick of the rabbits and squirrels where he was; he decided to try hunting in one of the forests near Port Angeles for some fresh fare. He drove the Volvo into town and parked it in the crowded parking lot at the theater and then left for the woods to begin his hunt.
At first, Jacob was apathetic about going to a movie with Bella and her friends. When he realized how it could play into his plan, though, he became increasingly enthusiastic. He wanted to grow close to Bella, he wanted to make her trust him. His plan was so simply juvenile, Jacob wasn't completely proud of it but he knew it would work. He'd play t like middle school; dangle Bella in front of Edward to cause him to act on it, then inflict on him the same pain that'd he'd given him. Bella was his bait, Edward was the fish and he was the fisherman.
Things worked out splendidly when Bella's other friends couldn't attend other than some peasly little squirt. Jacob watched hi smugly as he eyed Jacob's massive arms and pecs. Jacob wanted to drive Mike out by making him as intimidated as he could. He sat right next to Bella in the theater. He couldn't tell anyone how the movie was because he spent the first thirty minutes staring Mike down. He smirked when the beads of sweat started forming. He was comfortable in his position until a white glimmer flashed in the corner of his eye.
When Edward was satiated, he started walking back to his car. He was almost there when an alarm went off in his head. He could smell Jacob! He could also smell Bella and someone vaguely familiar. He hunted around the parking lot until he saw Jacob's old Rabbit next to a bigger car that smelled like Bella and the person he assumed they were with. He instantly ran inside and bought a ticket. It didn't matter to which show since the theater was understaffed and there weren't any door ticket takers. He walked into each room in the theater, inhaled deeply and quickly looked around. He found Jacob and Bella in the fourth room he checked and he identified the third person as Mike Newton. A smirk cracked on his face until he saw the way Jacob was sitting next to Bella. His brow furrowed and he moved to sit in a corner of the theater to watch them more intensely. He tried reading Jacob's thoughts, but they were muffled and scattered. Jacob's face made a slight twitch and Edward could feel the chill creep up Jacob's spine. He felt every hair on Jacob's back stand on end. He was noticed. Jacob looked directly at him and his eyes rounded. Edward quivered when he smelt the blood run up into Jacob's face, but Edward continued to sit there, staring. Jacob immediately got up, holding Bella's hand and left through the back exit. Jacob took care not to let Bella see Edward, which Edward thanked him for silently. Bella was the last thing he needed right now. He stayed long enough to watch Mike leave reluctantly behind them and read his thoughts as he did. Mike was obviously bitter about Jacob being there. The last thing Edward heard bothered him the most. I can't believe I thought Bella liked me. She doesn't have to rub it in my face that she's dating that Indian guy. Edward was entertained by the fact the Mike thought Bella might have like him, but deeply disturbed by the fact that he had said-thought- that Bella was dating Jacob. Jacob dating Bella? The spinning sensation of both amusement and anger had his mind and heart whirling. He ran out to the parking lot and tore out of there like a bat out of hell.
Jacob was burning up. It was too soon to have seen Edward. He knew that he was flesh-and-frozen blood there because he's smelt him; reacted to him. Heat was surging through his body, emotion charging his veins. Bella felt his forehead and his body and reacted to the heat. As a wolf, his body temperature was way higher and Jacob knew this as a stage of phasing. They had called it slow-phasing and it happened as a werewolf got gradually more emotional and angry, instead of a burst of anger. He needed to leave so he could get a control of himself, but he didn't want to freak Bella out by storming out of there. Mike had gotten some sort of food poisoning, so Jacob tried to dismiss him as quickly as possible. He didn't need to be there to see Jacob's Achilles heel. Mike and Bella ad taken a different car to get there and Jacob suggested they go back in the same. He didn't like it, but it was better than riding an hour in a car with the threat of turning into a giant wolf. Bella didn't know that part of him and Jacob didn't want her to. He took a back-road home and immediately after he'd parked he jumped out of the car and morphed. While he was a wolf, he thought about seeing Edward and he was embarrassed by his reaction. At least Edward had seen him with Bella. He could make of that what he would. And his thoughts had been all over the place, so Edward didn't get a glimpse of him plan. When he calmed down, he was about to change back before he heard Sam's voice; Ready to come back?
