*PLEASE READ*: So according to the few reviews I had last chapter, it appears FF didn't send out notifications of my update. I'm not sure if they sent them for this chapter, but if you haven't read the last chapter, go back, R&R that, then read this. Thankies.
This chapter takes place the next day, since I've realized that the past twelve chapters have been about only one day. That's pathetic, and so is the following:
Quil's POV
"Quil, could you cover my shift tonight?" Leah asked. I was brought back to attention. It was morning and I wasn't fully awake yet, seeing as I didn't get much sleep. We stood by the bonfire pit, kicking around small pieces of driftwood, waiting for Embry. Or at least they were. I was loathing the mention of his name.
"Sure," I answered blankly, unaware of the question.
The previous day, Leah and Seth had been standing in this same spot while Embry mentioned something about cliff diving. He ran off in the opposite direction of the cliff, they told me as I returned from the Cullen's, but made light of it. I knew something was up. No one in their right mind would go cliff diving on such a bad day. Only a few minutes later, a familiar scent or two was in the area. Again, they made light of it, but I knew who it was. What I didn't know was how she slipped passed Edward.
I realized then what could have possibly happened. Embry had probably- no, definitely planned this "meeting" before. As I went to apologize for what I did, Renesmee must have left as soon as her dad was out of the whole mind reading range thing. It took me only a few minutes to own up to what I did. Edward, upon hearing this, told me as politely as he possibly could to get the hell off his property. I ran back as a wolf, getting back to La Push before his daughter did. She was probably taking her time, and I didn't blame her. So only a few minutes later, Embry went to meet her at the border, and avoiding the watchful eyes of the pack, they walked back through the thick trees which bordered the beach. Or, I can say walked for Embry, probably dragged for Renesmee.
But how come Edward didn't come here looking for his daughter? He wasn't stupid- he was probably the smartest person I knew. So how could he not have noticed she was missing? And if he did, where was he?
I pretended not to notice when they brought the new sent in the area up, knowing Claire would be on the line. Not like I already risked that. 'Hey, Edward, guess what happened?' Why did I do that? I began to regret it, although I knew that my conscience would eventually get ahold of me and let it out anyway. It could have come at a better time, though. Because of my stupid confession, she managed to slip passed Edward, and from that point on, I had no clue what happened.
Jacob did, though. And I could see that plainly in his expression as he walked quickly toward us the next morning. His eyes held no mercy, and I knew exactly who was coming to "talk" to.
Seth called out to him with a childish grin, bored with our mundane conversation. But seeing as Jacob didn't hear him or didn't care, his smile quickly disappeared.
"Hey, Quil!" Jacob called in the distance, no hint of friendliness in his voice at all. It was filled with so much anger that I could see he was about to boil over. One second he was in the distance, then he was two steps away from me, and the next thing I knew, I could only see out of one eye.
"Jacob, what the hell!?" Leah demanded, grabbing his shoulder and pulling him back, away from me. He shook off her hand violently.
"Back off!" he warned her. Taken aback, she was about to make some threat to him, but I held the hand that wasn't pressed against my face up to stop her.
"Leah, don't." I grumbled through the pain. I deserved that. I was certain that the force he used to sock my eye would have crushed a brick. The only difference was that the brick wouldn't feel it. "Saw that coming." I muttered under my breath.
"You won't be seeing anything soon." his voice was searing, a warning that he wasn't joking. Not like my vision wasn't already impaired.
Leah and Seth could only stare.
"Jake, listen-" I pleaded.
"No, you listen!" He barked, "I've listened to too much of that asshole's bullshit to believe anything you're about to say! You're lucky I haven't done to you what I did to him! How the fuck could you help him, Quil!?"
"I didn't have a choice!" I yelled.
"Liar! Everyone has a choice! How could you!? You know what it's like to have an Imprint!"
"Yeah, I do. Do you think I helped him for fun? He threatened Claire! I had to do something." I reasoned. He cocked an eyebrow, but the fury still remained in his eyes. "You would have done the same." I muttered.
"The same." He repeated just as quietly as I had said it. "The same, huh? Quil, no. You know what I would have done if that were Claire? I would have told you right away, because I know what it's like to have an Imprint. And after that, I would have made sure that asshole wasn't anywhere near my Imprint. And if he was, I'd see to it that he couldn't feel his legs. Now reverse the situation!"
That hit me at home. I knew I should have done that, but he didn't realize the pressure of the moment.
"Jacob, I acted on instinct. I didn't want to help him! You could never understand; you didn't see the look in her eyes!"
"I didn't see the look in her eyes!?" He spat back, "You didn't see her get thrown off a fucking cliff! You didn't jump in after her! You weren't terrified when she wasn't breathing! You didn't feel her blood dripping down your arms! She didn't mistaken you for Embry when she woke up, not seeing straight because she has a fucking concussion! You didn't hear her scream because she had a nightmare about you! You didn't see the way she stared at you, terrified of your presence! You weren't suggested to stay away from your imprint for a 'while'. You didn't see all this unfold in one goddamn day! And you're saying I didn't see the look in her eyes!?"
…………… Was all I could think. ………… Was all I could say. …………… Was all I could do. ……………… just ……………, as he trembled violently, his eyes watering ever so slightly.
Jacob's POV
'Renesmee, Renesmee, Renesmee, Renesmee, Renesmee, Renesmee, Renesmee.' Was all I thought as I spoke. My mind and mouth were in separate worlds. My eyes weren't working the way they should have, because all I was seeing was her face. My ears didn't bother with his excuses, but instead the echo of her voice, "I'm fine." So I didn't notice when I stunned him silent, not only because I didn't know what I said, but because I didn't care. He was as much of a monster as Embry was.
When her voice faded and my senses cleared up, I noticed it was silent. Seth stood there, his mouth wide open like someone shoved a tennis ball into it. Leah's jaw was clenched. She didn't like being left out of things.
"J-Jake?" Seth dared to call. My eyes snapped in his direction. He bit his lip nervously. I sighed, not wanting to start shit with him too.
"What?" I tried to ask not-so-harshly. I wasn't sure If it worked or not. He continued nonetheless.
"What's going on?" he looked sincerely concerned, and that was when I look at Quil. He held one hand over his right eye and looked down with the other.
"Nothing I really want to talk about right now." I said, keeping it short so I wouldn't burst.
"It's a little late for that." Leah muttered.
"Leah, I swear to God, if-"
"I wouldn't give a shit if you pranced around in a fucking tutu right now, this is a pack, and if something's happening within it, we deserve to know." She growled.
What was I supposed to do, say "Of course, Leah. Well, you see, my dearest Imprint has been raped by our Alpha. Three times. Oh, did I mention he's Alpha now?"
"Maybe your Alpha should tell you." I murmured.
"What the hell do you mean, Jacob?" Leah demanded, "Have you lost your head? Maybe the leech should check you out, 'cause you're not making any sense."
"I mean exactly what I said. Maybe you should hear it from your new Alpha."
"N-new Alpha?" Seth stammered.
I nodded. "Embry's in charge now." and I began to walk away.
Seth jerked my shoulder back, but when I turned to face him, it wasn't me with the hostile expression. It was him. His eyes held a steady glare in mine, and he took a deep breath in. "Want to repeat that?"
"Okay, so from what I've gathered, Embry did something to the spawn, Quil helped, and you gave that idiot the position of Alpha?"
"She's not a spawn!" I sneered, ignoring all else she said.
"I don't care what she is." Leah responded, "What did Embry do?"
"You don't want to know."
"Um, yes I do, actually. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked."
"I'd rather not talk about it."
"Well that's too bad. You started, and now you'll finish. If we're gonna have a new Alpha, I'd like to know who he really is."
"You really want to know?" Leah stared intently at me, and Seth nodded. Quil made a barely noticeable shake of his head.
"Yeah."
"He raped Renesmee."

There was only silence.

"Come again?"
"I'm not repeating it." I said. It hurt enough to say it once. "Have fun with your new Alpha, because there's no way in hell I'm staying in a pack where he's telling me what to do." I made my decision then without even realizing it. I was going to leave the pack.
Again.
Well, I hope you liked it, thanks for reading. And yeah, I'm totally aware that Stephanie Meyer's Jake probably wouldn't have told them what happened, I'll never live up to her potential anyway. ROFL.
Review! =D
