Alice and I crept through the forest, the only sound the soft breeze through the leaves above. Edward had hardly moved after we had arrived home, so it wasn't too hard to slip away. I didn't think he would be paying attention to anyone's mind tonight.
Our plan was simple: we had none. After hours of brainstorming, we couldn't come up with anything. So, we were basically going to just see how it plays out.
We were getting close to the border; the wet smell of the wolves was already present. Alice's face was scrunched in disgust and concentration. It was funny how even with her face twisted, she still looked beautiful.
"BELLA!" The voice cut through the night abruptly, sending shivers down my spine.
I froze and Alice did as well. The familiar voice was grumbling as it glided forward.
"What are you doing?" Edward exploded. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"Edward, this was my idea," Alice insisted. "We are trying to help."
"I don't need any help!" His voice had a sharp edge to it, not like anything I'd heard come from his lips.
Once again, the night exploded, but this time with howls. It was followed by the sound of claws on the earth. Jacob stepped out of the trees.
"Welcome back, blood suckers." His eyes were a deep black in the light of the moon. He looked sinister, unlike the Jake I knew.
"Hello, Mongrel," Edward said, without even glancing up at him.
The wolves crowding around Jacob were tense, just as I knew they would be. Things were only going downhill from here. But, it was more like down a cliff. This would be over quickly…
"You step foot on our land and I'll rip you to pieces, Pale Face." He was using the ancient name for vampires, like he had used before I knew what Edward was. "We have eyes everywhere."
Edward growled deep in his throat but it was drowned out by a voice or, more correctly, a couple voices.
"We come to visit you and this is what we find?"
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Finally got some ideas. :] But yeah so I wasn't sure if it was "Pale Face" or "pale One". Let me know if I'm wrong.
