Great...Jacob volunteered us as guard dogs again. But this time, I was excited it was my first bone fire with the council and the whole pack. I would get to hear the legends of our tribe.
We took turns with the Cullens guarding Bella and her father at night when they needed to hunt.
I sat with Jacob watching the house, I was singing just to annoy him.
This is the song that doesn't end, it goes on and on my friend, some people started singing it, not knowing what it was I sang,
Jacob growled at me. Shut up!
I gave him a wolf-grin, Nope, I can't stop singing until you stop thinking about her.
Why did I get stuck with you? Jacob asks
Because I can keep my head together around Bella. I answer before I switch to another song, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, His name is my name, too. Whenever we go out, The people always shout,
"There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!"
I watched with satisfaction as Jake laid down and placed his paws over his head, he whimpered softly.We stayed there all night, and nothing happened.
The next day, I was hanging out with the guys after a few hours sleep, when we heard Jacob's Volkswagen Rabbit outside. The guys piled out of the house, Leah and I were last. Leah had an unfriendly expression on her face.
Bella hasn't really been out here since Cullen's return.
The guys teased Jake about his internal monologue about Bella, which he thought about when we were phased.
"Alright, you can all shut up now." Jacob states, then looks at Leah, "Bella, this is Leah Clearwater... Harry's daughter.""Hey... I'm really sorry about your father." Bella apologizes
"If you're here to torture Jacob some more, feel free to leave." Leah replies then walks off to the ledge and phases.
"Fun, isn't she?" Jacob asks
"She's better when she's not protective." I state then follow after Leah.
I phased then we patrolledlooking for Victoria until the bonfire,
Jacob doesn't get it...he can cause her more pain if she did choose him. I said quietly as i ran the southern edge of the line.
The guys were clueless all but Sam and Leah.
Bella Swan is not Jake's soul-mate, he will leave her if they were together. I explained, then I sent an wordless apology toward Leah. She accepted it but she didn't like it that I was right.
That night, we were all together eating, enjoying each other's company until Old Quil explained about the spirit warriors and the first wolf of the tribe.
That is when Billy took over and told of the Cold Ones and the Third Wife.
I found myself feeling sorry for our common ancestor loosing his reason for being human, it was strange how we were the heirs of the magic that ran through our bloodline. I've decided that I didn't look a thing like Jacob or Quil or the Clearwaters but I did share a few features with Sam and Embry.
I didn't tell Sam of my suspicions but he looked at me once and awhile and I could tell he already knew that I was thinking along same lines.
I looked over and saw Bella was asleep on Jake's knee.
"Awe she missed out on watching us eat a whole cow." I giggled.
