I OWN NOTHING SM DOES
"What is that suppose to mean Bells." Jake ask and could tell by the look on his face this was not going to be easy. Now how I am I going to say this to Jake? If I tell him its going to be dangerous I can assure you he is going want a piece of the action.
"I mean that I'm not who I say I am. I was given 5 years to live out as human and now those years are up so I have to leave."I said but why I didn't know. 'Cause knowing Jake I wouldn't get off the hook so easy
He slowly got to his feet and sat beside me on the love seat. Jake to my pale small hands into his large, dark, warm one and then look into my eyes with his piercing dark brown ones. He was trying to say something but each time he opened his mouth he quicjkly shut it again
How long we sat here, if I were being honest with you I don't know. I think he's trying to process what im trying to tell him. He knows I'm not human and I have to go. But when he start to ask the questions which I know I can't really answer without giving him cryptic meanings.
"Bella what do mean? You're not human? Do your parents know?" Billy asked. Oh yeah Billy. I was so caught up with Jacob I had forgotten all about him. I took my hands from Jake's and turn to face him.
"No I'm not. And although I'm not am not a threat to you what's after me is." Oh now why would I say that. The regret of my word really started to hit when Jake got out of whatever kind of trance he was in and jumped on the infront of me completely block my view of Billy.
"Bella you know whatever vampire is after you we can take of haven't we proved that to already time and time again. Jeez have a little faith in us will you." He said before he pulled off the couch and into another bear hug. "Don't worry about it we'll protect you. You're gonna be fine I promise. I call Sam right now and tell him we need to step up whatever it takes" He finished.
I sighed "Jake believe it or not I don't need to be protected anymore, in fact, if anything I should be the one to protect you. You see what's after me you physically can't touch them you'll just go right threw.
He nodded maybe he understands? But as usual it's not gonna be that easy. Because that's when Billy stepped in "So if you're not human what are you and is Charlie one of you." He asked.
"I wish I could tell you I really wish I could but once you find out your brain sends out a hormone through your body that attracts the things am trying to get you away from and as for dad he kind of is but don't worry is not as bad as me." You see my father is son of Chione goddess of snow. The reason you never heard of her is because she's a minor god meaning my dad can have all the power that comes with being a demi god but because of his mom can go unoticed by the 97% of the monster population. Which is the complete opposite for because being a child of the big three …well… lets just say im the last piece of stalk in all you can eat buffet and every is a stalk lover.
"But can we still be friends I still can call you right." Jake asked with hope in his eyes. I shook my head and he hung his head in sorrow. God I feel bad I can see he wants to protect me but this is just a battle he cant face. But then I remember something. I pulled out a small silver wand out of my pocket and handed it to him. Thank Iris I still have this. She told when I needed it most it will appear in my pocket. It was a gift from her after she accidently let lose 12 telekhines and didn't want the major gods finding and I had to save the day yet again before they destroyed Olympus.
"What's this?" he question turning the foot long stick around in his hands. "It's a wand we could use it to keep in touch with each other just point it to the the sky at night and use the stars to write and I'll see. It'll be our own personal IM." I said I guess he like it because he's grinning non - stop. But the its gone again. Oh no what's wrong now I thought.
"This is real cool and all but won't everyone else will think it's kinda weird when stars start forming into full sentences." He ask I shak my head to reply to. "Nope we're the only ones who get to see." My reply came while my faces lit up into a grin which Jakes face matched my own. Well that didn't go as bad as I planned.
"So we get to speak every night." I nodded "But I can't see you again can I? He lowered his head I guess so he won't have to face me.
"Jake no, I'll try believe my I will but for now I have to say no." I whispered.
"So this kinda goodbye, right? I mean I know I can use this wand to talk to whenever I want but it won't be the same." He said and I had to agree with him. Although ill get to write with him it's just in the stars which just doesn't give you the same feel with getting letters. I mean at least with letters you have a physical reminder of the person. Having something that had been touch and took time to write from someone you care about just doesn't give you the feeling of a long lost friend that's still out there, waiting for your reply knowing that they'll try everything to make the long distance thing work.
"I know Jake it's killing me, but I have to this." I took his hand in mine and pulled his face down to look me in the eyes. "You know that I have no other choice right?" I began to plead as the tears began to sting my face.
"Yeah, I know you it seems what you have to do is pretty big and I understand if even we can't handle it. But before you go here." He pulled a silver object out of his pocket. I squinted my eyes for a better view of it and realized what it was. It was a silver bracelet with a reddish brown wolf as a charm.
"I made the charm for you. It was your graduation present but I guess that won't be happening and I'll never know when I'll get the chance to give to you so, why not know right."He said with a sheepish smile before handing it to me. "Dad taught me how do it you like it?" he asked
"Jake I absolutely love it. Billy taught you well." It really was perfect the craftsmanship exceeded anything you would buy in a store because it look so realistic and yet so small. "It must have taken you hours." I said.
"Well a few trees had to dye but it wasn't anything, you're worth it." He replied
I pulled him into one more hug for one last time and took him in completely. "Goodbye Jacob I whisper."
"Bye Bells." He choked out while I broke the hug and I couldn't bear to turn around because if I did I knew he would be crying and me coming here to say goodbye would have been a waste of time.
"Bye Billy." I said before I ran out the door. It may have been rude I guess but the quicker I get to camp the better.
