Ch. 5 Coupled

"Whoa…Jacob!" Embry's eyes widened.

Melody smiled fondly at them, and I sighed. I let go of her hand, and crossed my arms.

"What? Is it too much of a surprise?" I asked him bitterly.

"It's…sudden," he blinked.

"Ah…"

"Nice going, Jake," Quill winked.

Melody cocked her head.

"Yeah…we've got to go…" I grabbed her hand again and walked in the opposite direction. We'd come up with a plan to not get close to everyone who was…abnormal.

"Your friends are really nice," she beamed, laying her head on my shoulders as we walk.

"If they get one scent of you, it's practically over. You know that, right?" I said quietly.

"Eh…yes," she sighed darkly.

"Is this going to work out?" I asked her.

She nuzzled my neck. "Of course,"

I cocked an eyebrow, not seeing the logic. Hmmm…

The bell rang. Third period.

"This is where we depart," she let go of me and waved.

I smiled tenderly and waved back, as she started to walk in the opposite direction.

Ch 6 Seth & Co

"Wow. How did you manage it so quick?" Embry panted.

"What are you talking about?" I glared, catching the ball.

P.E. was third period, and of course, we always played our hardest…which was usually ranked the best.

Our classmates stared, slack-jawed as I made another point.

"Mel. Come on, you KNOW what I'm talking about," Embry wiped away some sweat from his brow.

"You were right. It was an imprint," I smiled, watching Quill go for the ball.

"Did you tell her about…you?"

"No," I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "Why would I?"

Lying sure was easy to these guys.

"You'll have to tell her soon," he said in a dark tone.

The bell rang.

"…they forgot to call us in again," I sighed, as I walked towards the locker room. I ignored Embry's last comment.

"Melody!" I waved to her.

"There you are Jake!" she rushed up to me, face flushing slightly.

"Where do you want to eat?" I asked.

"I don't exactly eat this…food," she winked.

"Ah…I forgot," I scratched the back of my head.

"Jacob Black,"

I froze. The speaker was a pale kid with longish brown hair and sparkling gray eyes. Her brother.

"Yes. Seth Midnacht?" I asked.

"Hmmm…" was his only reply.

I frowned. Melody held my hand, applying pressure on my palm. She looked at me with wide eyes.

"Jake and I are going to eat alone…" Melody nodded slowly to her brother. He glared. "Because we just started going out…?"

"No. You and Jacob are going to eat with us. So he can get to know us better," he smiled deviously.

"Jacob thinks that's an ok idea!" I grinned weakly.

Melody sighed loudly and flipped back her hair. Ah, sweet aroma.

"Jacob…" she hissed in my ear as we followed Seth back to the table.

"Sorry!" I winced, as she tightened her grip even more. I felt the blood force through my palm.

We sat next to each other, and Melody huddled really close to me, trying to cover the scent of Wolf a little bit. I was going to die from the stench. It was like sour milk with five pounds of sugar. I shivered, almost gagging.

"Aren't you guys going to indulge in anything?" I swallowed.

I had to show that I thought of them as normal…or else.

"No. We don't eat here." Seth glared.

I looked around. Another guy and two other girls stared intently at me, their noses curled softly.

"The other one is my oldest brother, Claus. The girl with the blonde hair is Marie, and the one with the brown hair is Sarah," Melody whispered to me.

I nodded. Suddenly, Claus stood up. He pounded his fist on the table and I jumped back, Melody hanging on to my arm.

"I have to go to the nurse," he announced. As soon as he left, the girls jumped up and followed him.

"We'll talk at home, Melody," Seth sneered, standing up and following everyone.

Melody and I stared at each other for a couple of minutes.

"We're screwed," I said bluntly.

"Oh, it can't be that bad!" she grinned. "Here, give me your house number, and I'll call you tonight,"

Ch 7 Help

I waited anxiously for the phone call. I stared and stared and stared.

Someone knocked on the door. I groaned, getting up and unlocked it.

"Come in," I yawned.

Embry and Quill walked in slowly, looking worried.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" I frowned.

"You haven't been hanging around Bella have you?" Quill asked.

"No," actually, I had completely forgotten about Bella ever since yesterday.

"Then why do you smell like blood suckers? And why does your girlfriend?" Embry butted in.

I clenched my fists.

"Nothing's wrong with us, you hear?" I shook a finger at them. "NOTHING,"

"…ok, sheesh," Embry put his hands up.

"No, it's not ok," Quill stared me in the eyes. "There's something different about you, Jake. You're hiding something!"

"How can I possibly be hiding something?" I snorted. "All our thoughts are known, remember?"

"We haven't transformed in ages," Quill shook the jab aside.

Suddenly, the phone rang. We all looked to it, but I was the first one to answer.

"Hello?" I asked.

They stared at me.

"This is Joe's pizza parlor," a bored voice said. "Yeah, your pizza's ready to pick up sir."

"Thanks, bye," I shut the phone, cursing.

"What was that about?" Embry crossed his arms.

"NOTHING!" I yelled.

"Jacob…we're leaving, and until you can tell us the truth, we really don't have time to talk," Embry tugged on Quill's shirt, and walked out the door.

Quill stared at me, looking pained. I couldn't say anything of course. Just stare back.

"Bye Jacob," he said slowly, turned, and did the same as Embry.

I stared at them numbly. They'd never walked out on me like this before. Suddenly, the phone rang again.

I, heavy heartedly, picked it up.

"Hello?"

"J-Jake!"

It was Bella's voice.

"Hey, Bells!" I smiled in spite of myself. "How've you been?"

"Terrible pain…but it's worth it. I just thought I should've…called you," she groaned on the other end.

"You'll be better soon," I said quietly.

A beeping came from the phone. Another line.

"Bella, I've got to go,"

"K. Bye Jacob,"

"Bye, Bella,"

I pushed one and put the receiver to my ear. "Hello?"

"Jacob!"

"Melody! What happened?"

"They figured it out!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's over!" she sobbed. "They know!"

"Know WHAT?" I asked, my heart pounding hard.

"They know what you are!" she sniffed loudly. "They know you're a werewolf!"
