Chapter 4

Reunited

The large dog immediately stumble back. He retreated a few steps and ran into the forest behind him. Confused, I got up and brushed myself off. Relief flooded me as my old best friend came running from the forest. He was shirtless, and his beautiful body reflected the suns rays. He stopped just a few steps from me, and stared into my eyes. A mix of emotions could be seen in his, and it pained me to see them display on his face.

First it was curiosity, then disgust, followed by relief, anger, and pain. After what seemed like ages of silence, he was the first to speak, "Bella?"

"Yours truly," I smiled.

"I... You... Where have you been?!" He questioned.

"You know, here and there," I tried to say as non-chalantly as possible.

"Bella, this isn't funny. We all thought you were dead! Well... then again, I guess we were right," He scrutinized me, trying to take in my new look.

"Nice too see you too Jacob," I mumbled.

"I am glad to see you. I knew you would come back. Just not like this. But thank god your here," Jacob hugged me, and his normal bone crushing hug, was now like a child seeing an old best friend. "What happened to you? One day you just didn't come home."

I went into an explanation of the whole scenerio. From the last night of mortality, to this present day. We could have been sitting in that meadow for hours, and we wouldn't have know. Time didn't mean anything to us anymore, and we were just both glad to see eachother.

"Wow... that's pretty heavy," he seemed amazed. "I can't wait to tell everyone your here!"

"No!" I almost screamed. "No one can know im here Jacob! At least not yet. I need to do this myself. Please," I almost begged.

Jacob stared at me for a moment, and I couldn't be sure what he was thinking. I waited patiently for his answer, hoping that he would understand. He looked me up and down and finally replied, "Your right. I'm sure that this new look of yours may cause a bit of panic."

"Thank you," was all I managed to say.

"I have to be getting back to the pack. They will know your here, whether you like it or not. They can hear my thoughts, remember? But i'll make sure to tell them to keep their traps shut," he said while getting up.

"Alright," I smiled. "It's great to see you again Jacob," I said as I hugged him once more. "I missed you."

"Me too Bells," he replied as he hugged me back.

I began to make my way towards the forest, heading back towards the house.

"Uh, Bella?" I heard Jacob call, and I stopped in my tracks and turned around. "Since your a vampire and all... do you..."

"Drink human blood? No," I chuckled. "I'm what us vampires call... vegetarien." Just then I turned and ran towards the house, leaving Jacob in the meadow with a perplexed look upon his face.
