Chapter 3 - Whatever Pops!
Jacob and Jared were patrolling Forks and La Push. 'I hope she's ok.' Jacob heard that in Jared's head and came back at him with 'Who'...Jared lowered his head a little and Jacob caught on, 'Oh...that girl...from the beach...the one who ran away from us.' Jared stopped and looked at Jacob 'is it really that obvious?' Jacob snorted, 'yea man...it is...you haven't been concentrating in school lately, I mean you've been doing stellar on the hunt...but when you're human you let your human brain get the best of you.' Jared growled a little, 'I can't help it man...She was so beautiful and so afraid at the same time...I'm not violent.' Jared looked down at his fur covered feet with the razor sharp claws, 'Well much.'
Jacob looked at Jared and knew he couldn't help but think of the other girls sister with the blue streak in her hair...she was definitely the rebel of the two...all of a sudden 'Ha-ha...I knew I wasn't the only one thinking about those chic's!' Jacob scowled. 'Shut up man.' Sam butted in with, 'Both of you shut up...We have a job to do damn it...we can discuss chic's later...Now get back to patrolling.' Jacob and Jared looked up and saw Sam standing on the hill showing his teeth to them...They both took off.
A couple of weeks later it was a Friday night and the girls had decided they were going to sleep on the beach at La Push...It was going to be a nice weekend and roughing it in the sand on 2 or 3 days with no rain was going to be wonderful. The girls loved relaxing on the beach over the weekends when they lived with their mother.
They got to the beach around 7...the sun was starting to set over the horizon of the beach...Janna had started a little fire already to keep them warm during the night and was sitting by the fire writing in her book...She wrote poetry, song lyrics...whatever came to her mind...She would strum her guitar and then write the words down...Janel always said the guitar was magical. Janel was squatting down by the water's edge taking pictures of the beautiful sunset. Janel walked over and sat next to Janna by the fire as they both laughed and talked about school and what they were gonna do after graduation.
As the girls were sitting there alone, they heard a couple of loud yelps...Suddenly the moonlight lit up the beach and the girls saw the five some of guys again...Janna felt her sister tense up again and said, "Janel chill...They are really nice...I promise...They won't hurt us and you already know I won't let them hurt you."
Sam looked towards the small fire on the beach and said, "What are those girls doing back?" Jacob said, "Let's see...Fire...Sleeping bags..Pillows and a cooler with probably food in it...I think they are staying the night." Sam shoved Jacob hard and said, "I think the one with the blue streaks has gotten her hooks into your brain." Jacob threw a side glance to Jared and said, "Yea...Well I don't think I'm the only one with a fascination in the sisters." Jared said, "Damn it dude...I ain't telling you anything ever again." Paul and Embry laughed as they decided to take off out of the pack to go patrolling in Forks.
Sam, Jacob and Jared approached the girls and Sam said, "Ladies you know it's not safe to sleep out here." Janel's eyes locked onto the guy who tried to help her stand up the last time they'd visited the beach and when he looked down at her she quickly diverted her eyes into the sand. Janna said, "No worries...We know how to protect ourselves." Sam didn't looked convinced until Janna dug in her back pack and pulled out a 9mm and said, "Satisfied?" Sam said, "Whoa...How old are you and how the hell did you get a gun?" Janna said, "Don't worry about how old I am DAD...My uncle is the Chief of Police in Forks and he gave this to me because he knew we were staying here all weekend and wanted us to have protection."
Jacob scowled and said, "Charlie Swan is your uncle?" Janna said, "Yea...Any more questions?" Jacob held up his hands in defeat and Sam said, "I'm going to check your story with Charlie Swan...If they don't match you're going to have some big problems lady." Janna rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever Pops!" Sam made a scowling face and growled out, "Pops?" Sam was definitely getting irritated with this girls attitude.
While Janna was arguing with the older guy Janel got up and grabbed her camera and headed to the water's edge again. The way the moonlight was reflecting off the water was incredible. Janel didn't hear anyone coming up behind her so when a voice said, "You took off last time before I could really apologize for my friend knocking you down." Janel practically jumped ten feet in the air as she whipped around and came face to chest with the guy who tried helping her up...
Jared saw her lips quiver again and could immediately smell the fear. Jared held his hands up and said, "I don't mean to keep scaring you...The name is Jared." Janel swallowed hard and looked down at his hand that he held out...As she slowly put her hand in his and said, "Ja-Janel." When he shook her hand he could feel her shaking...Jared said, "Are you cold or scared?" Janel said, "A little of both...I think." Jared couldn't imagine what the hell had her so scared...She was too beautiful to be that scared of anything or anyone. Jared said, "Why don't we get you back to the fire...It will be warmer." Janel did a full body shiver and said, "Okay...Thanks."
Jared touched the middle of her back and guided her back to the fire...Just before they got to the fire, Janel turned to Jared and said, "Sorry...You know...For last time." Jared said, "Don't worry about it...I'm pretty sure we look like a bunch of hooligans running around." Janel couldn't help but laugh a little. Jared felt his heart burn for her when she laughed...She really needed to do that more often...And if he had to be the one to help her do that...Then that was okay with him.
