Chapter 3.

Jacob's POV

I turned my computer off after a long and tiring debate with Bella and Katie. We had been trying to prove which was more important-sporks or camera phones. In the end, we all agreed on the phones.

I went to bed, and had the weirdest dream. In the dream, I was using a spork that had a camera built in. Like I said, weird.

I sat at school, really bored. When I called Katie, she didn't answer her phone at five o' clock her time. I tried the computer, but she wasn't there. I e-mailed her saying that I was a bit worried. I went to bed, a bit nervous.

The phone ringing woke me up. When I looked at the clock, it said it was four-thirty.

Billy answered the phone and he said, "I'm sorry, but he's sleeping. I'll have him call you back, Katie."

I bolted out of my room and to the phone. I said, "Hello?" My voice was thick with sleep.

"Hi, Jacob. Sorry to wake you."

"No problem. It's only four-thirty."

"Again, sorry. I just remembered the time-zone change. But, there's a bit of a problem."

"What's wrong?"

"When I woke up yesterday morning, nobody else was home. Our trucks were out front, but I couldn't find anybody in the house or outside."

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"Well, no, but I kind of need someone to pick me up."

"From where?"

"Well, I'm almost to the Seatle airport. I found my mom's emergency money and got a plane ticket."

"I'll be there in a couple hours. Just stay where you are, and I'll come get you."

Katie's POV

I sat in the airport, waiting in one of those plastic chairs that are really uncomfertable, but you couldn't stand up because you had too much luggage.

"Katie Yunik, could you please come to terminal four. You're ride is here."

I walked towards terminal four, quickening my step in excitement to finally see Jake in person, and not just on the camera. When I got there, it wasn't what I expected. Sure enough, Jacob was there, but so were nine other people. I recognized them from the book as the pack of werewolves. It was easy to spot Leah, the only girl in the group.

"Jacob?" I called just loud enough for him to hear.

"Hi, Katie! We wanted to be on alert so that nothing would be able to take us by surprise. Just in case, you know?"

"Yeah."

"Hi, Katie," Embry greeted me when I got by them.

"How did you guys get here?"

"We ran," one of them, I think it was Quil, answered.

"Oh. That sounds...quicker, I suppose. How am I going to get to La Push, though?"

"Jacob is going to carry you. I thought that would be obvious," another one, obviously Sam, said.

"Oh." I looked at Jacob. "Well, Bella wasn't exaggerating when she mentionede how tall you all are." They were all at least six foot five, with the exeption of Leah, who was just six foot.

"I suppose not. Well, we should get going. Um...Embry, take her bags, you won't phase, and I will carry her." Jacob scooped me up, and he was at least a hundred degrees! It was a good thing that I had just worn jeans and a tank top, or I probably would have gotten heat stroke.

"What so you have in here, books?!" Embry complained when he took one of my bags.

"Yeah. I thought that would be so obvious. I always bring books, and I have all of my favorites in there."

Quil took the bag that only had my slothes in it, which was still good sized. "You really need to learn how to pack lighter."

"Well, I wasn't sure what I would need, so I just brought a variety."
