Chapter 4

Jacob

The white wolf stared at me and I stared right back. A sense of calmness overcame me as I locked eyes with it. All my previous frustrations and pains just disappeared instantly. This was unusual because my animal instinct should be telling me to attack or run, but the only thing I felt was that I needed to be closer to this wolf.

I began to slowly creep forward, one slow step at a time. After a moment, the wolf realized what I was doing and fear flashed across its face. It briefly glanced down at my paws and then back into my eyes. I sensed its terror all at once just as it quickly turned and bolted towards La Push.

Brooke

I don't know what I was thinking, just sitting there letting that massive wolf come closer and closer.

It was bigger than me, a lot bigger. What if something had happened? What if it had attacked me? What would have happened if I had been seriously hurt?!

….No.

For some reason I had a feeling that wolf wasn't going to hurt me. Don't ask me why or how, I just did.

I reached my house in a matter of minutes, but I had too much adrenaline coursing through my body to phase.

My paws were itching to run back in the direction I just came from, but I didn't want to go back

So instead I paced back and forth behind my house before sitting and just looking up at the stars. I let my mind wander, just waiting out my adrenaline rush. I eventually calmed down enough to phase and head to bed.

The last thought I remember before falling asleep was that wolf's dark eyes, staring right back into mine.

I'm sitting on a picnic table in a park near my house.

"Brooke!"

I turned around to see a young boy, about 8, coming towards me.

"Jake!" my 7-year-old self yells as I throw my arms around his neck and he hugs me back. "How's your mom?" I ask

His smile grows as he pulls away, "She's great! Dad told me that the doctors said she can come home any day now. The chemo worked! She's not sick anymore!"

"That's amazing Jake!!" I hugged him again.

"Come on, let's go to my house. I'm sure mom can't wait to know!" we walk towards my house together, talking excitedly about throwing a surprise "Welcome Home" party for his mom.

When we walk in, my mom is baking chocolate chip cookies. Jake and I hop up onto the bar stools that are on the edge of the kitchen island, each grabbing a warm cookie.

"Guess what Mom? Aunt Sarah is coming home soon!!"

She turns around from the stove with a fresh pan of cookies that she had just taken out of the oven.

"I know sweetie. I talked to both of Jake's parents this morning." She smiled while handing Jake and I each another cookie, "your dad wants to throw a surprise party for her, Jacob, and I thought it was a wonderful idea."

"That's what we were thinking!" I exclaim.

My mother chuckles, "Well the more help the better! Now you two finish up your snack and go out and play. I don't want you to spoil your dinner!"

We finish up while continuing to discuss about possible ideas about the party.

"Thanks for the cookies Aunt Grace." Jake says while hopping down from the stool.

"Yeah, thanks Mom!" I chime, following him out.

"Your dad wants you home by 6, Jacob!" My mother shouts from the kitchen.

"He will be," I answer for him as I close the door behind us and we head to our favorite place to play, the woods In between our neighboring houses.
