The following day, Sam ordered me to go with Jacob as he went to find out what the Cullens wanted him for.
I walked with Jake came close to Jasper, Bella, and Edward. I didn't realize how tall I was in this form when I was standing beside Jake as a human, I could reach his shoulder. Wow.
"You're not fighting? What, did you pull a muscle or something?" Jake asks sarcastically
I snorted and rolled my eyes.
Bella looked at Jacob, "He's doing it for me, okay?"
"Whatever." Jacob answers, "Just tell me the plan." I shoved Jacob with my nose and growled at him. "I mean us."
"This field will give us an advantage in battle. We need to lure the newborns with Bella's scent, but it needs to end here."
Agreed. I thought but Edward didn't translate for me.
"Edward and I are going to a campsite. Even if he carries me, they'll still pick up on our scents." Bella explains.
"Your stench, however, is revolting." Edward adds.
I snarled at Edward, Jake placed a hand on my shoulder to stop me from taking a bite out of Edward.
"Dude, you really don't wanna start comparing stinks." Jacob replies.
"What he means is that your scent will mask mine if you carry me." Bella explains
Trust the one wolf with a crush on her...Great choice. I thought sarcastically
"Done." Jacob agreed
"This is not a good idea." Edward states.
I didn't know if he was speaking to me or someone else.
"Edward, they won't want to get anywhere near his odor." Jasper reasons.
Before they could argue further, Bella had enough and demanded that the theory be tested.
"Eau de wolf coming up." Jacob states
"Run." Edward replies
We watched Jacob take off with Bella.
I sat down waiting. Thinking about the Cullens.
Edward gasped at my thoughts. Jasper looked at him then to me.
"She doesn't hate us like the rest do." Edward explains.
I glared at Edward.
"Why?" Jasper asks
I stared at Edward as I thought of my answer.
"Because we didn't trigger her transformation. She can look at us differently. Well maybe not me since Jacob Black is her brother." Edward translated. He looked at me as I thought about me trying to get it through Jake's supernaturally thick skull that Bella isn't the one for him.
"She's proud of something." Jasper whispers.
My name isn't She. It's Alyssa. Use it or I'll keep calling you a leech. I thought.
Edward gave my message and Jasper apologize.
They have been gone long enough, maybe someone should test the other part of the theory? I ask changing the subject.
Jasper went off to try and find Bella.
Edward looked at me, "You have the gentlest mind, I've ever heard from one of your kind."
I stood up and backed away, Thanks, I guess. Repeat the conversation to anyone else and I might bite you right here and now.
We turned as we heard footsteps.
"All I picked up was wolf stench. No Bella." Jasper informs. He looked at Edward. "This will work,"
"Great." Edward replies
I waited for Jake then we left to go home.
You what?! Jacob exclaims
What was I suppose to do when I was waiting for you? Pretend they were in pieces? Yes, I spoke with Edward and Jasper. I explained, All I did was tell them about how I became a wolf. Yesh, it's not like I told them everything you thought about. Trust me, things about Her...I don't even want to think about!
Why I oughta! Jacob growled at me
You can't do anything me, Mr. I-didn't-want-to-be-Alpha-male. I reply as I sped up to avoid being bitten.
I slept over at Emily's that night, the following day. We were deciding if we should camp out in our wolf forms for the battle.
"What battle?" Mom asks as she came inside. We all looked at her. Oh crap.
Sam glared at me.
"I didn't tell her a blasted thing about what we protect against." I state
"Cold Ones" Mom countered softly.
"How do you know about that?" I asked
"Billy Black told me about what is really going on." Mom answers.
We would have glared at Jake if he was here. But he took Bella up to their campsite.
Mom walked up to me and placed her hand on my cheek, "You're worried about me, don't be."
"Mom, I..." I began then stopped as she was right. I was her child. She should be the one who should be worried about my safety.
"I think it's better for you to spend the night close to wherever you're fighting." Mom suggests.
Sam nods. "Agreed."
We ate more then we should have then we left to be ready. Seth didn't like being out of action, but he was a good candidate for being a cell phone.
