Chapter 3
"Hey Jacob," Bella said. He walked over to me and smiled "I'm Jacob, and you are?" "I'm Lex nice to meet you Jacob. "Do mind if I call you Jake?" "Not at all." His brown eyes were beautiful. Jacob went and leaned on the doorway. "So Jasper what is your gift?" "Okay I control emotions." He said. "There's no way," I said. Next thing I know Jacob is walking towards me like he wants to kill me.
"Okay Jasper I believe just don't make Jacob want to kill me. I mean he is a big man." I heard Jasper laughing. "Well wouldn't you be, never mind. Well um…" I started but my throat began to burn. I was thirsty. I ignored it. And it went away temporarily. I gulped. "Edward will you please um go hunting with me." "Oh of course I will." "Thank you." I said trying hard to ignore the burn. "Anyone else care to join us?" I said trying to polite. "I'll go," Bella volunteered. "Me too," Said Jacob. Why is Jacob coming isn't he human? I thought. "No he isn't," Edward said. "Then what?" I asked "You'll see," I looked to Jacob he was taking his clothes off I looked away that was not cool.
I looked over again and where he stood was a huge russet wolf. There was a creek behind the house that everyone jumped. I was nervous I jumped and almost hit a tree. Jacob taunted with his barking laugh the rest of the way until we hit the opening and there was a lot of deer. "Be careful humans pass through here often." Edward said before we split up. Gotcha, I thought, sure that he would hear it. I made a bet with Jake that I would catch 5 deer before he could get 10. He laughed his barky laugh and shook his head in agreement. I ran off in the heard of dear I jumped on one dear and drained it and four more followed while Jake got six. "I win Jake. I'm full are you?" I saw Jake nod his head. "Okay meet me over there after you phase so we can walk back." I said and started to head where I pointed to previously.
Jake snuck up behind me and scared me when I jumped and my telekinesis kicked in and he flew back about 20 feet "Oh Jake I'm so very sorry I need to learn how to control that a little better." I said while I ran to Jake to help him up. "That's okay kid I forgot about your so called gift." He said sounding a little hurt. "Hey I'm not a kid and did I hurt you? Where does it hurt?" I said glaring for half a second. "Uh yea you are and it's my chest." I stared at his chest and just realized he didn't have a shirt on. I closed the space between us and I put a little shield on the surface of my hand. I pushed on his chest with my free hand. "Is it here where it hurts the most?" I felt him wince a little as I pushed down. "I'll take that as a yes" I put all my focus on it and then Jake and I were enclosed in a big bubble and I took a deep breath and tapped on the spot once. The bubble busted and we both hit the ground. "Wow how did you do that?" he said in amazement. "Does it still hurt?" "Nope feels as good as new. Thank you."
I turned my head to smile at him but he was closer than I thought. Our eyes were locked on one another's for awhile until Bella came up and asked what happened. "Long story Jake can tell you if he wants to. How did you know that something happened?" I asked confused. "Edward and I were heading back to the cottage until we heard a very loud pop." "I wonder why we didn't hear it but whatever. Let's get back home." We got home quickly and I went to my room and I sat down. I wanted to know how to control my gift already. I didn't want to hurt Jacob. So stupid why does it have to be so difficult. I didn't realize that I was in another bubble until I opened my eyes. I also didn't see Edward standing right in front of it. I calmed down and the bubble faded and I landed on my feet this time. "Jacob told me what you did. How did you know you could do that?" he asked genuinely wanting to know. "I don't know I just did." All I wanted right now was to be left alone. I went to grab my iPod but before I could I heard Bella call family meeting. Great. I walked down stairs at a human speed and right before I took my seat Emmett got there.
"There's an open seat right here Lex." Jacob said gesturing to his lap. I glared at Emmett. "Hey it was either you or me" he said. I walked over and sat on Jacob's lap. "Okay guys we have to help Lex learn to control her gift," Bella started. I don't like that the meeting was about me. "So who is going to work with her first?" she continued. Bella waited for someone to volunteer. "I guess I'll go first." She said not sounding happy. I got upset but then I felt calm I looked over to Jasper and smiled in thanks. He nodded back at me.
"Come on Lex the sooner you can control it the better." Bella said. "Gotcha. coming." I said as I followed her to the back. "Okay let's start with something small. Try to move that rock." she said as gestured to the rock. "Kay," I took an unnecessary breath and focused. I looked at the rock and with ease it was floating in mid air. "Okay that's good. Okay let's bump it up. You see the big stick right there? Try to move that."She said pointing to a really big stick. I nodded. I focused again and with ease the stick was floating. "Good now enough with the inanimate objects. Try to move me." Again I nodded and focused she was easy. "Good. Jake come out here please." She said. Great I'm going to embarrass myself because everyone else came along curious. "Now move Jake." "For future reference I'm sorry." I said. I took two unnecessary breaths and focused. Jake moved and I was happy. Boy was that the wrong move.
