She had to sneak out of Jacob's parents house. After all, how could she stay? She was putting herself in danger and, more importantly, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs to his home, the only thing he had left of his father. She knew she had to sneak out, but somehow, she couldn't bring herself to leave him all over again.
Stupid random apparition. She had landed awkwardly just outside Hogsmeade, jarred her wrist just at the moment when Jacob was going for one of his strolls and smelled her. Bloody fate, for some strange reason, Cassie always felt like it was pulling them together right at the moments when it was far too dangerous.
Cassie pulled Jacob's sleepy arms around her, and felt his warm reaction when he made no complaint to move closer to her in his dazed state. It was inevitable, them sleeping together, making love. They had missed each other so much, their love for one another was renewed, and that was all that mattered within the few moments of passion right there and then.
He fell asleep, content, with her in his arms, but Cassie stayed awake knowing that it couldn't last long. Listening to his strong heartbeat and tracing her fingers along the scars on his chest lightly, she sighed. This would never happen again, it just couldn't.
She looked out the small quaint window. Dawn was creeping up on them, which meant it was time to go, time to start running again.
Gently, and thanks to her now slimmer frame, she shifted out and away from Jacob's arms, very happy that the wolf inside made him sleep like a log. She dressed quickly and quietly, glancing back him every once in a while, to make sure that he was not suddenly awake and about to demand where she was going and asked whether he would see her again. Cassie knew that if he woke up he's persuade her to stay in the house, but she just couldn't do that, not to him. It would be risking his family home. If the Death Eaters got in here, then they'd be able to track him down and kill him within moments. However, Jacob slept peacefully and never stirred.
Cassie hoisted her rucksack onto her back and tugged the straps tight. Carfuly not to make a sound she sat on Jacob's side of the bed and removed a gold chain with a small emerald ring attached and tenderly slipped it around his neck. It was his, she couldn't keep her end of the bargain. She couldn't promise that she'll be able to marry him anytime in the future. She couldn't even promise that she'll be alive in the future.
Holding back the fearsome tears that were trying to fight though, she lent down and kissed him on the forehead.
"Bye Jacob," She whispered.
His head turned suddenly and groaned with sleepiness. Cassie acted fast. She stood up and jumped out of the window just as Jacob blearily opened his eyes to see the curtain blow aside with a small gust of wind.
