Jacob POV
I grabbed Nessie's hand as we took off into the damp, cold forest of La Push. The only sounds I heard were the squishing of our feet in the damp ground and our silent breathing. We came to the lake separating the forest and the Cullen's, I turned my head to Nessie and nodded before letting go of her hand. I took five steps back and lowered my body to the ground, placing one knee gently on the soft earth, I pushed off with my back leg, running at full speed and then jumping off with both of my legs.
I jumped over the lake landing six yards more than I expected myself to. Nessie landing next to me with a soft thud and we jogged the rest of the way to the Cullen's house. When we stopped in front of the big house, we were greeted by Bella who lunged at Nessie wrapping her arms around her neck, her body shuddering in silent sobs. Nessie smiled at her mom and patted her back to reassure her she missed her too.
"Geez Bells, you act like you would never see us again or something" I said with a smirk and walked up to her ruffling her hair. She looked at me with a mock glare before giving me a hug.
"Yeah Jake and I expected you to get mature after two years" She said laughing silently. I laughed and hugging her back. The next thing I knew was Edward standing right next to me with that cocky grin of his. He smiled at me and threw one arm around my shoulders or tried to, two reasons he couldn't, one I'm 6'8, two he was only 6'3. I laughed and punched his arm softly.
"Hey old timer, I was wondering when you were going to give me a hello" I said chuckling at this reunion. Edward smiled back and ushered us all into the house and that's when I caught that scent again, same scent from the airport. It was gone after I smelled it so I shrugged it off. I walked inside but watching the forest as I closed the door.
Moon POV
I watched the vampire, or wolf or whatever that mangy mutt is called walk in the house with his eyes scanning the forest. I took off my hooded cloak and threw it into the lake with a rock tied to it. I had on a Dark purple shirt with black jeans, and purple and black shoes to match. I was thirsty at the moment and needed to satisfy myself before I go on to what I was here to do. I sprinted into the town forks to see if I could find a human that could satisfy my cravings.
I stopped and climbed up a tree that overlooked a cabin I saw a person walking out of. I watched him walk deeper into the forest with me following him from the safety of the trees. He finally stooped and took out his picnic basket and began to set it up, I watched as he took out the apple cider and chuckled loud making an echo. The man looked around, I began to smell his fear as he tried to find who made the noise. I jumped out the tree silently before landing behind the tree watching him take out his pistol.
"Who's out there….i-i-I'm not afraid to shoot" He said holding the pistol, his hands shaking. I ran out in front of the man, I grabbed the pistol and twisted it so it looked like a candy cane. I grabbed his head with both my hands and twisted them sharply to the right hearing a loud crack as I broke his neck.
Instant death I suppose, I began to feed from him and after I was done I grabbed the body and ran back to where the lake was by the Cullen's house. I threw him into the lake to let him float with a note attached to his back. I chuckled softly and ran off to the cave I was living in, seeing my plan was beginning just liked I planned it.
Jacob POV
We were chatting with all the Cullen's when we heard a chuckle from the forest. We rose to our feet and Me, Emmet, Jasper, Edward, and Carsile ran towards the noise, our feet barley touching the ground. I was the first to reach the lake and skidded to a stop, I looked around and nodded to Edward before taking off my clothes. I took off my shoes and shifted into my russet wolf form.
I sniffed the ground finding a faint scent of a man, and….blood. "Edward I found something" I said leading them to the edge of the lake where there was a man on the shore his neck twisting at a weird angle. On his back was a note, Edward walked up to the man and took the note reading it out loud so we could hear.
"Ah Cullen's I am very sorry to have to do this to get your attention but….this is just a warning on your behalf. Let's just say I've only gotten started." I shuddered from the sound of the letter before taking off to find my clothes and shoes. I put them back on and raced back to where they were expecting the poor man.
"What do we do with the body"? Emmet asked for the first time no jokes coming out of his mouth.
"We burn the body and then bury the ashes" Edward said with a sad look on his face. We nodded and got to work. I took out my lighter and as Edward came back from the house with Gasoline in his two hands and began to pour it all over the dead body. I flicked my lighter on and let the flames engulf the body as it crackled burning the flesh and bones.
We put the ashes in a old soda bottle and I was to run from this spot as they covered the scent and I was to bury the ashes in the mountains. I took off with dirt flying behind being the only evidence I ran to where I was going. I reached the mountains in three minutes and buried the ashes with a sad look as I did.
I ran back down to the Cullen house shaking my head softly, I told Edward to tell Nessie I was going to Sam and the pack. I took off my clothes, tying them to my ankles and hiding my shoes in a hole in a tree and jumped seven feet in the air shifting mid-ar. My heavy paws landed on the soft earth with barley a thud as I raced off to La Push.
