Well, I would like to have some sort of feedback…(Thank you to animelee, for leaving a review!). I want to know how to improve my writing, so constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated! (Also, maybe a Beta?). Also, this chapter will have dual points of view: Jacob, and now revealing Jane.

Well, enough of my rambling. Shall we continue to chapter two?

Chapter two

His eyes had me hypnotized. They were so beautiful—the brightest gold jewelry couldn't compare to the hue of his eyes. They were like the last rays of the setting sun. A ring of turquoise circled his pupils, adding a stark contrast to the gold. He was still pale; his skin tone came nowhere near my tan complexion, just as I remembered him. He still had a swimmers build, lean and slightly muscular, but he was by no means delicate. His brown hair was messy, but it matched his crooked grin. That same damned smile from all those years ago. It was surreal to see a grown-up version of the kid I was having dreams of.

I wasn't aware of how long I had been staring. Only after Bella cleared her throat did I shake off my thoughts. She stared at me expectantly, as if she had said something. Oh, shit. Did she?

"I'm sorry, Bells, what did you say?" I asked, still distracted by him.

"Well, I was saying that Edward was looking forward to seeing you again. He said that you two met when you were kids, but that it was such a long time ago that you might not remember." She looked up at Edward. "Isn't that right?"

"…Yes, Bella. That's absolutely correct." He said quietly, his eyes never leaving my face. His voice was absolutely amazing. It had a musical tone to it, with a richness that was just too ethereal. It commanded such a feeling of overwhelming lust in me, it almost made me forget I was straight. Almost. "It's been so long, Jacob. Tell me…have you forgotten me?" He lowered his head but kept his eyes on me. The tone of his voice, as they did in my dreams, immediately changed my mood from devastating horniness to guilt.

Of course I didn't forget you. I wanted to say it; it was the truth after all. I felt a burning desire in me, a desire to please him. To tell him whatever he wanted to hear. I couldn't deny that the feelings inside me were building up. But the wolf in me refused to give in to him. The Alpha blood that coursed through my body refused to submit. I couldn't let him establish control over me.

"Sorry. I don't remember." I sneered. The look of shock that crossed his face was evident. The guilt was immense, but I couldn't give in. I knew what he could do. If he had an Alpha under his control, he'd have the pack. With the pack, he could run the town, maybe even the world. Well...that may be a bit of an exaggeration. Still, I didn't know if he was good or bad, or what he was even trying to do. And I wasn't willing to take the chance to find out. "I don't want to remember, either." I had to get away from him. I could feel my self-control ebbing away.

"Jacob! That was extremely rude-"

"Shut it, Bella. I'm not in the mood." I spat. I wasn't in the mood to deal with Bella, not when she understood so little. I turned to walk away, but stopped when I felt a firm grip on my wrist. I spun around, surprised to see that Edward was holding me in place. Instead of hurt or anger, I only saw amusement in his face. He smiled and tiptoed to reach my ear.

"I knew I picked a strong one." He whispered, causing me to shiver as his warm breath tickled my ear. With that he released me, and turned to a confused looking Bella. "Well, Jacob, when you change your mind…I'll be here." He winked at me, gesturing to Bella with a smug smile in place, as he grabbed the excited girl by the hand.

Surprisingly, she wasn't overwhelmed by his presence. Well, she doesn't seem to be under his influence, at least. She turned around and mouthed 'we'll talk about this later' to me before giving her full attention to Edward.

My blood began to boil when I heard her giggle as the pair disappeared from sight. There was an all consuming jealousy that erupted from my heart, which further spurred the wolf to be released. Stop it now, Jake. I scolded myself. You can't screw everything over because of Bella…I took a few calming breaths. Besides…Edward made it clear that he wants me. Bella's just a tool he's using to get my attention—my eye twitched. Five minutes of talking to the guy, and I was going queer-o-sexual. I sighed and ran a hand through my short hair. This was just too much. I need to talk to Sam about this…the elders, my dad—someone. Edward is dangerous. That much is certain.

The bell rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. Well…I guess I should get going. I heaved my backpack over my shoulder and began to walk to class.


The day was uneventful, for the most part. Aside from running into Edward in the morning, the day was…normal. I found that strange, considering the presence of the man-mermaid. Merman. I corrected myself, rolling my eyes. I still can't believe that they exist. But even that assumption could be wrong. Maybe he's a siren. But then again, I've never heard of male sirens…I frowned. Maybe Edward really isn't bad. Aside from him charming the whole student body, he hasn't done much…and he hasn't even tried to make them worship him. I hated that I could only speculate. But now that the day was over, I could race down to the reserve and warn the others about his being here. The elders could definitely shed some light.

I sighed impatiently. Hurry up, Seth. It's gay enough I have to pack you on my bike. Now you're gonna take your sweet ass time to get here? I froze when I heard a Seth's laugh, accompanied by someone else's: a voice that was like sex in vocal form. I groaned when the two came into view. Seth trailed behind the pale man, looking up at him with nothing but adoration in his eyes. A growl escaped my lips when they were in ear shot, and Seth immediately stopped laughing. He bit his lip guiltily, while Edward stared expectantly.

"Well, that was rather rude. I know it's in your nature, but could you try to be less…wild?" He smiled coyly at me. "I mean, I'd like a man who's aware of his power, but not one who can't control his own emotions."

I growled again at him, readying myself for a fight. "Get away from him, now."

"Jacob, you know that I only have feelings for you. While I enjoy Seth's company, I could never be attracted to him." He took a few steps towards me, closing the distance before I could react. He raised a hand and cupped the side of my face. "I did choose to kiss you and not him after all." I slapped his hand away from my face and shoved him back. He stumbled, but Seth caught him.

"Seth, what the hell is wrong with you?" I asked incredulously. "Get away from him, now."

"Jake, you don't know him! It's not like he's bad or anything!" He countered. I wasn't going to have any of it, though. I roughly grabbed the younger teen.

"Get on the bike. And that's an order." I didn't like using my alpha control, but Seth was being ridiculous. He glowered at me, but complied. He didn't have a choice in the matter. "And you…stay away from Seth and Bella too."

"You act as if you own them." Edward replied, amused. "You're cute when you're all worked up." He gave a small wave at me, his golden eyes shining.

I couldn't take the close proximity anymore and quickly jumped on my bike. Without warning Seth, I sped out of the parking lot. It was taking every ounce of self-control to keep myself from phasing right then and there. And even though he was far away, I could swear he heard Edward's musical laugh, as well as his famous line:
"You'll never be able to forget me."

***
The ride back to the rez was quiet, and uncomfortably so at that. Seth had dug his fingers into my shoulder to keep from falling, as opposed to wrapping his arms around my waist or neck as he usually did. I could hear him mumble under his breath, though exactly what was said couldn't be heard over the rushing wind that swept past us.

I was much calmer now that Edward was no longer in the immediate area, and felt a little ridiculous over my outburst. We finally made it to my house, and when I parked my bike Seth quickly jumped off and hurried off to the woods. I swung my leg over the Rabbit and rushed off after him, cursing as I stumbled over a root. I roughly grabbed Seth's arm and spun him around.

"Where do you think you're going?" I demanded.

"Nowhere that concerns you." He replied icily. "Go on, tell the council about Edward."

"Why do you feel so strongly about this? You just met the guy!" A thought dawned on me, one that made my stomach drop. "Don't tell me…that you've fallen for the guy?" I really didn't like the thought of that. Is it because you're concerned, or because you're jealous? A nasty voice asked. I chose to ignore it.

"Don't be stupid. Besides, he only has eyes for you." Seth shot back. "All I'm saying is that you're overreacting. He could have easily had the whole school under his control, but he didn't use his charm for that, did he?"

"He had the whole school looking for me. You even thought he was dangerous at first! Why are you defending him now?"

"I talked to him. Well, he talked to me. I think his feelings are genuine. And if you tell the elders about this…you're only going to shoot yourself in the foot." He glared at me, his breath coming out in uneven pants.

"What do you mean?"

"You're an idiot. Call it fate, destiny or maybe even an imprint. You're gonna end up with him." And with that, Seth took his exit. I stared after the younger teen for a while, now unsure of myself.

I don't know what to do anymore. Seth had brought up valid points. I didn't know what I felt for the merman just yet, but if the elders did deem Edward dangerous…there would be no way we could be together. If, you know, I liked him like that. But…he's still a threat to everyone here. I don't know what he's capable of. Even I doubted that though. He really didn't seem dangerous. Maybe I was blowing everything out of proportion? Maybe I'll talk to dad first…and if he thinks it's something that I should bring up to the council, then I will. My mind now made up, I slowly made my way to my house and waited for dad to return home.


/Jane's Point of View/

I frowned. I didn't see Aro's fascination with any of these pathetic creatures. Especially the girl…My eyes narrowed at the human. She was plain, even for a human; there was nothing exceptional about her. Still, her blood seemed quite potent. Maybe he wants her for a meal? I doubted that. If he had sent me to do spying, he was genuinely interested. That meant she wouldn't be anyone's next meal.

I let out a frustrated sigh. This had better be important, Aro. I hated that he didn't tell me why I was doing this. He had left instructions, and that was it. It didn't help that the town was a small one, and a disappearance would be quickly noted. Feeding would be difficult as long as I stayed here. And that will be for quite a while…I briefly wondered if I would have to resort to animals, as those vampires in Alaska did. I quickly shoved that thought out of my mind. Now that's disgusting…

I looked back towards the girl from my hiding spot, disturbed that she was looking over her shoulder again. She seemed to be aware of my presence, or at least that she was being watched; she kept glancing in my direction, clutching her jacket closer to her delicate frame. It's almost as if she can sense me…What a thought. Still. Does she think a jacket will protect her? I cruel smile graced my features. Maybe I'll give her a little taste of my power…I liked the idea of that. I wouldn't do much, just enough to cause a brief moment of pain. Aro didn't say I couldn't. Not specifically.

I focused my gaze on her shoulder, imagining an intense burning sensation. I was surprised when she didn't scream in pain, or even flinch. Impossible! I tried again, and still there was no response. I tried again, this time imagining her whole body in flames. There was still no response. A shield? Alright…so, she may have a use after all. Still,it was boring doing spy work. Isn't this why we have underlings? I thought dryly. Does he want to turn her? The thought disgusted me. How did he even come to find out about this cretin?

And then two scents caught my attention. One was overbearingly disgusting—I recognized it immediately as dog, even though I hadn't smelled one in years. You never forget something that foul. The other was new to me. It was intoxicating, and made me lose focus for just a second—an act that could have killed me if I were in battle. My head snapped towards the source, and was surprised to see three men in the parking lot. There were two dogs; their scents had mixed and I had mistakenly counted the smell as a single source. Careless…

Then, there was another man. I could smell the blood coursing through his veins, though it was different than a normal human's. There was something off about it. I stopped inhaling immediately. I couldn't have him distracting me again. I watched as words were exchanged, quite harshly at that, between the trio before the two wolves sped off. The other stood there, smiling in the direction that they left, before turning his gaze to me. I knew I was caught, but that didn't frighten me. After all, he was still the prey. Still, I couldn't afford a confrontation; Aro specifically instructed me to spy, and only spy. A fight, he said, was out of the question if it involved any of the three.

With a sneer I turned and ran, deciding that when it was time to kill, he would be the first to die.


And there was a taste of Jane. Her point of view won't be as prominent as Jacob's—just here and there, to let everyone know what the Volturi is up to.

On an unrelated note, sorry for the long wait. School has been (is) a pain in the ass, and I can't find time to update as frequently as I'd like. So, expect sporadic updates.
Enough of my bitching, I suppose. Reviews are appreciated!
