A/N: Worked hard on this chapter, does it show? Anyway, i'm so excited, i'm going to watch eclipse on Monday! Coz it's youth day and a holiday so no extra classes, yeah! Yes i know, you guys probably watched it forever ago, it came out really late here.
Jenna
Ohmyfreakingosh. This pain was terrible. Which was the understatement of the year. I should probably start at the beginning.
Okay, so yesterday night i started to feel a little feverish. The next day i was completely burning up. Like majorly. So was Nicky and Jason. So we rushed to the hospital. I mean, normally we just rest fever out, but this was so high, the digital thermometer displayed "HI" on it's little screen which meant "high". Naturally, we freaked out. Who wouldn't?
At the hospital, the doctor, who's name was Dr Cullen smelt like rotten fish that had been dragged through piles of cow dung and been fermenting with gross bacteria for over a 100 years. Believe me, I know how that actually smells.
Okay, no I don't.
So i'm here, on this hospital bed being practically burnt at the stake. And Nichole's in the bed next to me, though I think she's asleep, I know she's going through the same pain. And so is Jason, though he's in a different ward.
It's freakin' 4 in the morning and i'm still up, haven't fallen asleep yet. Ugh. I turned so my back was facing Nichole and close my eyes tight. Doesn't work. Perfect. Just perfect. I bet it was the ice-cream that is making me like this. I wonder if those dudes were any sicker than we were.
I must have dozed off sometime because that doctor Cullen woke me up to give me some crap medicine that wasn't helping one bit. I felt like punching him. And was my body temperature that high that his hand was freezing or did he stick his hand in the freezer?
After a week, the annoying aches have kinda faded. But I've gotten so much taller. Well, at least one good thing has come out of this. But I still had a high temperature, feeling perfectly fine though. And, really weirdly, Seth and Embry came. So i'm just thinking, two dudes I barely know came to visit? How weird.
Ohmygod. Ohmygod. Ohmygod. Ohmygod. Seth was so beautiful. How could I not have seen this before? The way his black hair fell into those big, warm, brown eyes, it was so perfect. What was so wrong with me that I could have overlooked this before?
He's coming over here. What do I say?
"Hey, I heard you were sick. Dr Cullen didn't let me in till now, said you needed your rest. You feeling any better?" he asked, seriously concerned. Awww that was so sweet!
"Yeah, I think so, definitely hope so. Bet I look like hell, huh?" i asked him. Course. Stupid me. I probably looked like something the cat dragged in. Or looked as bad as how Cullen smelt.
"No, no of course not! You look really pretty. Swear" he said. Yeah right. Even a blind dude wouldn't call me pretty. I was never pretty anyway, definitely not now. Embry suddenly walked over from Nicky and whispered something in Seth's ear. Something like "Check...wolf..." Okay, that made no sense, my hearing must be damaged.
Seth placed his hand on my forehead. Surprisingly it was the same temperature. Woah, I was so burning up. His hand usually would be really, really hot. Maybe I should ask him to leave.
As soon as I thought that, my heart dropped. I didn't want him to leave! Which was so selfish of me, I didn't want him to get as sick as me.
As I was thinking this, Seth's face changed to one of horror. He walked out of the room with Embry. Wait, what? Why was he going? I felt like my heart was breaking. Why was he walking away from me?
He turned back when he was at the door and saw me looking at him. With what I think was a lost expression. He tried to smile at me reassuringly before leaving.
He came back with the doctor. "Don't worry, we're going to get you outta here. But..." he trailed off, his face tight with worry.
"But what?" i asked nervously, like i didn't want to know. Did I really want to know?
"Never mind, I'll tell you later," he said. "Let's just get you out of here first. And maybe later, if you're still feeling good, we can go out for a milkshake?"
"Thank god. I'm sick of hospitals and I would really love that." I hopped out of the bed as his face relaxed into a smile. He held out his hand and I took it without thinking. It just felt so right.
Later
"Uh, Seth, why are we at the forest?" i asked nervously. We were going really deep into the forest and I had no idea where we were. He couldn't be kidnapping me could he? Nah. A guy that sweet and cute could not be a kidnapper.
"Because you're a w... a w..." he stuttered. Okay, I was so not getting this. He cursed under his breath. "You'll find out later," he eventually said.
He led me to this clearing where those dudes I met the other day were. And this other girl I never met before. What were they doing here? Hold up. Nichole? Nicky was there too? It was like there was this huge secret and I was left out of it. I hate secrets that i'm not a part of. Which is a little hypocritical.
"Nichole?" I said, dumbfounded. She looked up and saw me.
"JENNA! OH MY GAWSH YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS, IT'S SO COOL!" she yelled at me.
"What? You evil woman, keeping all these secrets from me!" I said back, smiling.
She stuck her tongue out at me. "You'll find out in like two seconds anyway"
Sam cleared his throat. I looked at him. My hands were still in Seth's.
"Jenna right?" he said. When I nodded, he continued. "well, i don't know how to tell you this, but... you're a werewolf."
I burst into laughter. "Good one, Sam!" I said in between laughter. Wait. Why wasn't anyone else laughing.
"That was a joke right?" I said nervously. It had to be. There was no possibility that I was a werewolf. Those were just myths. They didn't exist. But when I looked at all the faces around me, they were dead serious.
"I bloody hell wish" Paul muttered.
"Not a joke. You really are a werewolf. Or you have the genes at least. But why you haven't phased yet, I do not know," he said seriously.
"What the hell do you mean i'm a werewolf? Doesn't freaking lie to me!" I yelled at him. Okay, I was overreacting.
Then I exploded. Literally exploded. Out of my skin. And all of a sudden I was on four legs. FOUR LEGS. That is not normal. And I had fur.
I looked around me and the other dudes were exploding too. The next conversation went something like this.
Me: what the crap am i?
Jared: we told you! You're a wolf!
Me: but... but... I don't wanna be a freaking wolf! I wanna be a normal human like everyone else!
The girl I didn't know: Can it new girl. We all do so quit whining.
What was up with her?
Paul: she's just touchy about... her past and being the first female wolf.
Me: how in the name of god did you do that?
Paul: do what?
Me: answer my thoughts!
Paul: Jeez ,I thought you knew. When you're in wolf form, everyone in the pack can read your mind.
Me: holy... Ohmygod. What have you read so far?
Jacob: you... imprinted on Seth?
Me: what the heck is imprint?
Jacob: awkward... I'll let Seth explain. Wait, hold on.
Nichole, who was still human and sitting on the ground watching us nodded to Jacob, then produced fresh, clean clothes which she threw at me. I caught it between my teeth and went behind a bush while they taught me how to phase back.
When I came out, they had phased back-with their clothes on, thankfully. Nichole was covering her eyes yelling "My eyes! My eyes! Oh I'm blind! I'm blind!" It was pretty funny.
"You're not mad or anything, are you?" Seth asked me when I came out.
"Kind of. But not at you. I'm mad at... I really don't know," I said. Who was I mad at?
While I was saying that, the other werewolves began to inch out. Except Nicky, but Embry half-dragged her out, despite her protests of "But I wanna see too! I mean, she's my sister!"
See what? What was she talking about? Another secret? Great. Still left out.
"What's she talking about?" I asked Seth. Suddenly, the ground seemed very interesting to him.
He took a deep, long breath. "We werewolves also do this really rare thing. It's called imprinting." He glanced to me to see if the word had any effect on me. What the heck was imprinting?
"It's quite difficult to explain, but when we see that certain somebody, like our soul mate, we... have this really strong bond, and it hurts to be away from them. It's like falling in love, but more powerful," he said.
Wait. Was he saying what I think he was saying?
"So I imprinted on you," he finished. Hold up. Was he saying... he loves me?
Ohmygod. He was. I felt like screaming. This was so awesome!
"Seriously? Ohmygod. Ohmygod. I honestly don't know what to say! This is so awesome!" i screamed out. Seth smiled at me.
A/N: uhhh was the ending kinda abrupt? Oh well. I liked this chapter. Review for PIZZA. Bwaaaah im such an evil briber. Heh.
