Here's the next chapter :)
It has been weeks since Jake has left me, and every day I forget one thing about him. Today, it was the eyes. I closed mine, trying as hard as I could to remember the friendliness in his beautiful eyes but I just couldn't. I gave up and went outside, a little hunt was what I needed, I needed the adrenaline rush, the excitement of a chase to fill my head and push Jake out of my mind for a minute. As I started running, I used my nose, and caught the scent of a deer down by the Ho River. I changed my course and started running towards it, feeling the wind through my hair when suddenly, I caught a very familiar scent; The strong scent of a werewolf.
'Hiya Nessie!" I heard the friendly voice of my best friend.
"Seth!" I shouted joyfully, pouncing on him and knocking him down, "Are you guys back already? What are you doing here?"
"Easy there Ness," Seth laughed, "Nah the others aren't back yet, me and Leah just stayed behind."
"Oh," I sighed, looking down, disappointed, "Why did you and Leah stay here?"
"Well, Leah is actually really protective of mom, cause after dad died, she never really broke down cause she's strong but she hasn't been the same. She's changed a lot and Leah just doesn't want to leave her alone."
"Oh, so why didn't you go to Italy then Seth?" I asked.
"Well, as I said, Leah is really protective, even of me and no way was she going to let me venture off to Italy for a dangerous mission while she stayed behind! Mom didn't want me to go either, so between the 2 of them, I never really had a choice." Seth explained, a little sadly.
"Dangerous mission?" I asked, "What are they doing over there?"
"Well, I don't know if I should tell you..." Seth hesitated.
"Aww come on Sethy, you can trust me! We're best friends!" I begged.
"Ok fine Ness, I'll tell you," He sighed, "Well you know how you guys have your little vampire royalty clan up in Italy?" I nodded. "Well, we wolves actually have our own little ruler pack, and weirdly, they are in Italy too."
"So what is Jake doing over there?"
"The pack over there, the Ligures tribe over in western Po Valley has asked us to help them destroy some vampires."
"What?!" I yelled, "Why us? Why not another wolf pack?"
"Because the Quileute tribe is now known as the tribe with the biggest wolf pack, no other pack has ever been as big or strong as ours."
"And how big is the pack now?"
"34 wolves."
I just stared at him, I had no idea the pack had gotten so big, Jake had never told me. After a long moment, I then asked, "Which vampire coven?"
Seth paused, looking at me cautiously, then whispered. "The Volturi."
