Chapter 21:
It was a week after the attack. The Cullens left and went to Forks to tell Charlie, and we hadn't even smelled Jacob. Everything was doing great. Not only that, there was only three days left until Edward's birthday. Everyone was coming back for that and Alice was planning it.
"Edward?"
"Yes?" He called from in the bathroom.
"I think we should go hunting tonight."
"Okay,"
"Where are we going?"
"Anywhere you want; it's your turn to pick." He smiled.
"Somewhere close?"
"Okay."
Edward and I decided to go to the forests behind our house. It was closer and more convenient, kind of like fast food. The phone rang and it was Charlie.
"Bells! I've missed you so much! I can't wait to see you again."
"I've missed you too! When do you plan on coming up?"
"Whenever there's time."
"Do you think you could be up in time for Edward's birthday?"
"When's that?"
"Um…three days."
"Are you crazy?"
"Not completely."
"I guess."
"We'll send money, and-."
"No, no, no Bells. I'll pay and I will be up in time." He paused, "Bella, this might sound a little crazy but, your, voice sounds, different, smoother."
"That's, um, strange."
"Yeah, it is. I'll be up soon."
"Okay."
"See you soon."
"Not soon enough, Bye."
"Bye."
There was a click and it was over. I didn't realize how much I was missing him. I was anticipating Edward's birthday even more.
"Are you ready to go? Who was that on the phone?"
"It was Charlie, he is going to be up in time for your birthday."
"That's great news." He smiled down at me. "Did you notice, you eye color is going black? They might go gold after tonight."
"Really?"
"Maybe, let's go."
Edward and I left out the back door. I followed him and we hunted for a couple hours.
"Bella, do you smell something?"
I smelled the air. The same burning smell came into my nose.
"It's Jacob isn't it?"
"I believe so."
"Should we go back?"
"It's not for us to run away from him. This is our home, if we do not want to see him, he should go, not us."
"I like the way you said that."
"We should probably keep our eyes open though."
"I don't think he would risk seeing me, I was pretty mean last time."
"That kind of makes me worry; Jacob's mind has been twisted beyond recognition. When a person spends so much time chasing something that isn't running, but is still unreachable, he is bound to go crazy some time or another."
"What do you think he would do?"
"Don't ask me, you can read his mind. My guess is as good as yours."
I tried to read his mind, What could I do? What will I say? When will I do it? Jacob was asking himself questions a mile a minute.
"Are you listening to this?"
"Yes."
"What is he talking about, 'When will I do it?'"
"I don't know. What I wouldn't give to find out!"
"I'm a little bit afraid too." He hugged me tightly.
"I won't let anything happen to you." Jacob's thought ran clearly, How will I do it? I shivered and Edward hugged me tighter.
Sorry guys, I've got to end here, it's 12 am! I completely lost track of time! So, Charlie is coming, Edward's birthday, and Jacob's got new plans! Something new is happening.
