Bites, Fights, and Lovely Ladies
Ch. 20
"…Your real name is…" Jacob paused for a dramatic effect before Quil said, "Well don't keep us waiting all day!" Jacob smirked and looked back down at the ID.
"Jazz, your real name is… Elizabeth Flehtz. Huh. I have never heard a last name like 'Flehtz' before, but hey, you are the weirdest person I've ever met." For a few minutes the room was silent as the pack thought over the name and eventually Sam asked, "Now that we know your name, do you want to be called by your real name or Jazz?"
"Why did you think of Jazz anyway?" Quil asked, and Seth said, "Maybe she likes that type of music." He managed to reach over and grab the backpack, and once he found the iPod he started scrolling through it.
"Lots of Jazz?" Quil asked. Seth frowned, "No, it's mostly… I don't know, I haven't heard of these songs before, wait! I know this one, umm, 'Ignition' by tobyMac. It was on the radio once."
Jazz reached out and took the iPod from him and began scrolling through it herself. "This mostly looks like rock, or alternative." Jacob looked over and asked, "What's the numbers on the bottom for?" "That's what number this song is out of all of the songs."
He read the numbers then said, "Jeez! You must really like music; there are almost 800 songs there!" "Well…" Jazz said, "I do like music…"
Then Leah asked, "Is there anything in that pocket on the side?" Jazz looked down at the bag and so did everyone else, "Hmmm, let's see, shall we?" She unzipped the side and reached in, she only felt a small metal object and, taking it out, she saw that it was a cell phone.
She turned it on and everyone waited in anticipation, while eating their 3rd or 4th sandwiches also, of course. Once the phone had started up she looked at the background picture. It was a girl with curly red hair holding an electric violin.
"Is that one of your friends?" Jacob asked. "No" Jazz said, "It's a singer… her name… umm… it's Emilie August or something… No wait! Emilie Autumn, not August. I have some of her songs I think…"
"EW! EW! EW! EW! GROSS!" Everyone snapped their heads around and saw Seth's face scrunched up and trying to avoid the sight in front of him, which was the sketchbook.
"What type of GUY would do THIS? Why would you DRAW THIS? EWW!" He nearly yelled and Jazz whipped the book away from him and stored it back into the backpack.
She looked through the pictures on the phone before she tossed it to Jake, "I hoped I'd remember something, but I got nothing. They're just pictures." Jacob scrolled through some before the phone started beeping and Jacob literally threw it up in the air as it surprised him. Jazz however noticed it and managed to grab it before it smashed against anything.
When she looked at the screen she noticed the beeping was caused by the phone finally getting the 'missed calls' and 'new texts' icons popped up.
Jazz sighed and Jacob turned to look at her, "Something wrong?" Jazz turned the phone off, "I feel bad… Out there, somewhere in Texas, people are looking for me… They're worried and I don't even remember who they are… I feel… guilty almost…"
The room was silent before Embry clapped his hands together and announced, "Okay! No more tense stuff! So anyway, nice job on the Vampire, Jazz! You did pretty good for a newbie on her own!"
And so, the mood was lightened and as Jazz pushed the backpack into a hidden space, they forgot there worries for a little bit and managed to enjoy themselves.
