Bella pov.
"Bella, you brought your bathing suit right." Jacob seemed totally unaffected with the 100 mile an hour wind blowing at us but that shouldn't surprise me.
"Mmmff." I mumbled into his jacket. It didn't matter if he was unaffected; I was still human and extremely frightened to lighten my grip on him.
"You're not going to die, Bells. Even if I'm a werewolf I can tell you're holding on for your life but whatever if you're going to..." He trailed off sounding totally innocent. It soothed me but then he turned slightly to his side and messed up my hair.
"Jake!" I screamed and squirmed as if we weren't even on the motorcycle.
He laughed and let me be. His laugh was probably loud enough for Charlie to hear and so contagious. I began to laugh too but my mind was else where.
I couldn't help but think about what Edward had asked me before he pulled over. Bella, is it nice to be able to go out into the warm sunlight without having to hide? But just like me I didn't never really thought of these things. I always wanted to be one of them, one of the immortal, but every time I brought it up there was a new reason. Most the things came from Edward, 'Werewolves are mortal enemies with vamps' and 'You still have many years left in school', but I really didn't care and didn't think much of what I would get myself into.
Then Jake took a sharp turn and I was back in clinging mode but not quite as hard so that I could talk.
"Isn't the Quiluets meeting going to be held on the cliff?" I asked raising my eyebrows, even though I new he couldn't see, as we headed downward.
"It is." He answered smugly.
"Then what-" I began to asked like an idiot, it was obvious that we were skipping.
"Were skipping, my sweet, I don't get enough time with you and I will not waste it at a meeting for the new comers. I'm not alpha; Sam is so he can deal with it." He said turning his head to me, revealing a huge smile plastered on his face.
Neither of us said anything else. I was much to worried he would do something drastic on the motorcycle. I stuffed my face in the small of his back again and inhaled his vibrant smell.
"We aren't going to swim here, are we? It was raining down at my house and there's not much of a difference in temperature between here and there." I moved closer and hugged myself to him, trying to exhibiting my point.
"Why not? I can do it and you're braver then me, staying in a home full of leeches" He spat out the last word.
"Well, unlike you mythical creatures, I'm affected by the cold. Might I add that you jump off cliffs, and those vampires are my family get off there case or I'll get them to eat you." I said with a low chuckle while he took it into thought.
"They couldn't lay a cold, dead finger on me. I'm scared for you." He got up and offered me a hand. "Common, enough talking about the leeches you're getting to attached too"
"Vampires!" I growled while I took his hand pulling myself up.
I heard a low sigh when I took my hand out of his. I shrugged my jacket off and grabbed the bottom my shirt. I glanced over to see Jacob already stripped down to his trunks and heading to the water. I slowly pulled my shirt over my head, hopping not to look to goofy or jerky. I dropped my shirt next to my jacket and slid off my pants. Jacob turned raising an eyebrow at the string bikini I was wearing.
"Leech?" He took a step closer so the water was up to his knees
"Alice!" I shouted frustrated with the fact that the mythical creatures, more mature and older, acted so childish when it came to the other.
"Whateve, hurry up the waters nice and cold like your beloved leeches" He let out one loud chuckle and held out his arms telling me that he wasn't being sarcastic about going in the water part.
I hesitated as I walked to the water. When my toes could feel the ice cold water a shiver went down my back, surprisingly welcome. I sighed and took a step towards Jacob. Next thing I knew I was in his arms.
"You're so slow" and he carried me bridal style in till the water must have been 5 meters deep.
I squirmed in his arms not wanting to go anywhere where I wouldn't be able to touch the sea floor with my head out of the ocean.
"Hey, hey if you want down then just say it." He dropped me in the water.
He hugged me closer when the clattering of my teeth got louder.
"I'm still extremely pissed at you." I said when they stopped
"I know." He said letting out a low chuckling
"Hey ditchers!" Paul said, seeming surprisingly happy.
Me and Jacob both turned around to see the whole pack walking forward already in there trunks, which they were probably the whole day anyways.
"Jacob." I heard Sam say in the distance.
"Hey, Sam, You can drag these followers wherever you want but you are completely powerless over me." And there was a heard of laughter.
"Wait," I interrupted the laughter, "Shoot, what time is it. Families come home and there expecting me to be at the border by 11"
"Then we better get going, wouldn't want the leech to get angry." He said sarcastically but I heard a low sigh under his breath.
He picked me up again, bridal style, and ran to the motorcycle. I thought about squirming, I really hated people carrying me it just made me feel helpless, but I knew how slow it would be if he let me stumble own way there. He threw me on the motorcycle and started it up.
Edward pov.
"Shoot, I have to be at the border at 11. She'll kill me if I'm not there before her." I ran to my car leaving Alice and Jasper in my room. Not the best idea but they knew me well enough to… or did they?
I flung the door and slammed it shut behind me. I turned the keys and listened to the roar of the engine. I put the car in drive and went off at 100 miles per hour down the dark drive way, not like I was going to crash anyways. I remembered that I had taken my Lamborghini I pushed harder on the peddle. The purr of the engine was like music to my ears, how long has it been since I've actually driven this car? I watched as the trees flew behind me but I could see each one so clearly. Less then a second later I was turning onto the high a little bit slower then I was going before. I looked up to the sky to see the stars, if possible, shining brighter then I remembered from the other day. They shined with all the colors you could think of but they were all different. My eyes roamed the sky and then caught sight of the moon which was full. It shined with the contrast between itself and the dark night sky and I thought about why I was drawn to this car after so long just to go to the border. But of course, after thinking about it, Bella was the only reason there seemed to be. I tried almost everything I could possible think of for 90 something years because nothing meant anything to me.
I looked down again to and saw that I was only half a minute away from the border. There hadn't been many cars on the highway and nothing but a motorcycle speeding its way towards me here. I went faster feeling great and determined. I got there 7 seconds before them with the same big grin that Alice had on her voice when she had come into my room.
"Damn it, I thought you said we were going to get there before him." I heard Bella's silky voice. The dog didn't answer he was in deep thought, completely dazed by my car. I laughed and stepped out of the car. Perfect, keep your eyes on the car and I'll take off with the girl.
Several seconds later, after Bella stumbled off the bike, she flicked him on the forehead but he just kept on staring at the car. I burst into laughter which, apparently, brought him back to reality. He growled and got off the motorcycle leaning it on the tree a foot away from where it stood.
"Trying to brag my girl? Lure her off so you can suck on her blood a bit? Why don't you come over here and suck my blood?" The same words repeated in his mind, what's with pups and attitude?
"Get a hold of yourself dog breath, step away and let Bella go home." I saw from the corner of my eye she didn't want to go home with either of us at the moment, she'd probably walk to Angela's thinking about how stubborn she is.
"Shut up, blood sucker." He walked forward stopping right in front of the border line bringing Bella with him.
He pulled Bella to his chest and constructed his face looking down at her with a pity face. He bent down and whispered her name in her ear and then kissed it. I growled but he ignored and moved his face inches from hers. I could feel myself loosing my strength in my knees in till I was nearly about to collapse.
"I pity her too, blood bag, but for the opposite reasons though. You." I muttered low enough that Bella wouldn't here Hopping to distract him from what he was going to do.
He snapped up and growled in fury. I took my chance going to the edge of the border; I took Bella off her feet and began to walk back to my car and I could feel strength in my knees again, I felt relaxed. I turned my head as his growl finally ended, I licked my lips hopping to get him to growl or insult me, because my ego was much too high with Bella in my arms to feel anything lower then ecstatic. He growled right on cue, the sound of some horrid scale. I stuck out my tongue like a 5 year old and opened the passenger door and more gentle them ever I set her down. I ran to the other side of the car and started the car, letting the engine do its best at muting out the growls in the background.
