Chapter 6 - Werewolves, Vampires & Humans - Oh my!
Janel touched Jared's chest and it felt like he was on fire…She pushed away gently…Still breathless from their first lip to lip encounter. Janel stared at Jared as she sucked her bottom lip in between her teeth like always. Jared said, "Janel I have to tell you something really important…but I want you to be completely open minded to everything and anything. Open minded to the fact that some things that aren't supposed to be real in life are." Janel said, "I trust you Jared."
Jared started pacing in the kitchen and said, "You know how there's a no going into the woods after dark rule…Well it's there for a reason…The cold ones go into the woods at night to hunt…for humans…" Janel quirked an eyebrow and said, "Cold ones?" Jared swallowed hard and said, "Vampires." Janel said, "Vampires? Okay and when does little red riding hood come into the picture with the big bad wolf?"
Jared smiled meekly and said, "Now…The Quileute Indian Tribe are the descendants of wolves…so to speak…A few people in the tribe still have the wolf gene…Vampires move into town and a fever sets in that gives us a body temperature of a constant 108/109…And eventually we shape shift from humans into Werewolves because were designed to kill only one thing in life…Vampires."
Janel said, "We? What do you mean we?" Jared said, ""I have the wolf gene…So does Jacob, Sam, Paul and Embry. Janel do you understand what I'm saying to you? I'm a shape shifter…I'm a werewolf." Janel crossed her arms over her chest and said, "I understand this is a pathetic pack of lies…Is this an attempt to tell me now you don't really want to be with me…you just want to have sex like every other man in my life?" Jared could feel his temper rising as he said, "How could you ever think that Janel?" Janel said, "It's like telling a girl you're this big FBI agent or secret service or you're a top secret agent when in reality you're nothing but a loser."
Janel could suddenly feel in her heart she was being used yet again…First Mike had used her for his own sick sadistic games and now of all people she was just learning to trust in her life…Why Jared? Why now? Jared took a step towards Janel but pushed past him and walked out the back door…Jared was hot on her heels as he grabbed her by the upper arm and forced her to turn around…When she did that she placed both of her hands on his chest and shoved him as hard as she could back.
Jared was about to do something he was going to regret…
Jared lost his cool and as he jumped into the air he phased into a wolf and came down on all fours staring at Janel and growling from deep in his throat. When Jared came down on all fours Janel fell back onto the grass below her…He was huge…Not just the normal size of a wolf…but triple the size…Jared stalked closer to her.
Janel freaked out and kicked her leg out and ended up kicking him in the nose and snout…He sneezed and snorted a couple of times and then reared back and swiped one of his massive front paws at her as his razor sharp claws came in contact with the palm of her right hand Janel yelped out in pain. Out of nowhere a huge brown wolf came running over and jumped on Jared as someone grabbed Janel from behind and pulled her away from the fighting wolves.
Janel looked up and it was Janna…Janel stood up and said, "Why don't you look shocked? That's Jacob isn't it…ISN'T IT??" Janna said, "Yes…He told me a couple of weeks ago…He said Jared wanted to tell you himself so I promised not to tell you." Janel said, "How could you promise to keep something like that from me? I'm supposed to be your sister…You promised you'd take care of me always…You promised you'd protect me no matter what. IF I can't trust you or count on you then why the fuck am I even here…I might as well go back to live with mom and Mike." Janna said, "Janel…" Janel looked at her older sister one last time and then turn and ran into the house.
Janna watched as Jacob and Jared fought it out in the back yard before taking it into woods behind the house a little…They both phased back into humans and pulled their spear pair of shorts on and ran back to where Janna was in the front yard looking down the street. Jacob said, "Where did she go?"
Janna looked down and there was a pool of blood next to motorcycle tire burns on the pavement and said, "I don't know…"
