I spat at the ground, blood squirting from my mouth. Seth's blood. Oh God, Seth. What was I going to tell the others? What would they think? They'd probably hate me. Hell they'd probably chase me away too. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving. Besides, what would that solve? I stood out in the cold, staring up at the full moon. "Stupid legends."
Once I had made my decision, I made my way to Sam's. The walk seemed to take forever. This actually made it better for me, so I could find the exact words to say. I stepped inside and at once noticed Leah, who had decided to stop by. Man she was annoying. "Everyone, I have… some news." All my friends (excluding Leah) looked up. Guilt washed over me. "Seth and Eliza are gone."
"Why?"
"They wanted some time to themselves." I lied.
"Where'd they go?"
"Seattle." Another lie.
"When are they coming back?"
"Anywhere from a week to a month." Another lie.
"Are you O.K. Jake? You look upset."
"I'm fine." A lie. "I'm gonna head home. See you guys later." I closed Sam's door and walked back under the moonlight. I waited for a few moments then I started home.
Again, I took my time. I had no reason to hurry. Not like Bella would be there waiting for me.
"Oh Jake, your so handsome and strong!" I imitated.
"Only for you Bella."
"And you're so warm! Unlike those, horrible bloodsuckers." I sighed. If I didn't know any better I'd say I was going crazy. I reached my home and went in. Billy was asleep, and on the table lay a letter which read: Jacob Black I sighed again and opened the letter. I already knew who it was from. Edward Cullen.
