Chapter 14
A Wolf's Side
Stupid Bloodsuckers! What are they doing back? Their suppose to have gone for good. They always messing things up everything.
Dammit, I'm changing, what the heck is going on over there? There's more of them, guess they went back to their bloodsucking roots. Couldn't keep their teeth clean. That's violating the treaty.
Calm down. A calm voice ordered, echoing threw out the shaggy brown head. He gave a growl and started to run in the direction of the border.
Come back. Several of the pack bellowed after him but he took no heed he just kept running threw the mossy, green forest then town.
The sickly sweet smell was mixed with a stranger smell. It wasn't as sweet as them, but it wasn't human. It was duller, less easy to track and he had only smelt close a few times before and that had been when an actual Vampire had live within the safety of the pack.
His heart ached at the memory, where was she now?
The sweet and dull smell grew closer and he came to a skidded to a holt at an edge of a clearing, which was filled with Bloodsucker. His shaggy hair stood on ends, this isn't good.
Ya think? Said a grouchy pack brother who was stalking the border, growling many names towards his reckless pack brother.
His nose twitched as a familiar dull smell floated into his nostrils. He hadn't smelt it in years but he still knew it like he had only just smelted it yesterday. His head swung instinctively to his right as a pale girl with long brown hair crept out from behind a tree a few meters from where he crouched. His tail started to wag, to his total embarrassment, his pack brothers sniggered.
Her golden silver eyes were wide with fear but determination. She was holding a huge branch in her left hand.
Mate, get out of there. Whine his pack brother at the border.
Not yet, I need to know what's happening. Not really, really he wanted to see the girl more clearly, for he had a vain hope in his heart that it was her.
Sure, sure. Sighed his pack brother.
He and the girl stood there in the shadows, the rest of the vampires completely unaware oblivious their presence. He had the strangest feeling that the girl knew he was there but wasn't believing it herself.
He started to get really edgy when the fight between two big ones broke out and one of them suddenly turned into a strange, fierce creature that sent to other one flying.
It was when the creature advance on the family, did the girl step in. raising her branch above her head; she threw it at the creatures head. If it had been a normal human, its brains would have gone flying, though he had hoped that would actually happen.
The fight was pretty much over then, the girl went and stopped the creature by returning its necklace and then she went and joined the sweet group, damn Cullens, and there was more talking between the sweet vampire and the dull smelling vampire. And then the dull smelling vampires left, taking the newly reformed on with them.
Then she saw him, the brown haired girl and really believed that he was there. Her golden silver eyes widen in shock and delight when she finally took him all in.
Then she looked confused, her arms immediately crossed themselves across her chest and she started to shake.
Now, the other vampires had come aware of her and looked concern. She looked away from him, protecting him.
Then she fainted. Why? he did not now. But he knew who she was and she knew who he was.
This wasn't good. He thought as he ran back.
She might not place where the pack is, as here. His pack brother reassured him.
And what if she does? What then? We kill her? I can… Embry, I can't…I can't kill her; she's been through so much already.
He finally slowed his callop to a trout once he had crossed the border.
The only reason we didn't kill her that day was because you begged us not to, so it's your fault if she comes back and decides to try and kill us all. Another voice sneered, a female voice, one he truly disliked. He growled at her.
Stop it, both of you. A strong, commanding voice growled, then his voice softened. I do not think, even if she does remember, that she will come back and try to kill us. She never showed any interest in killing us when she was a young one, or anyone else for that matter. If I remember correctly she barely fed at all. She is no threat to us, as of yet, and I doubt she ever will be, but if she is then we will take her down. Understood. The voice was more directed at him then anyone else. He was closer to her, both when as a vampire and when she was still human.
I'm going home. He grunted and turn for sea. He was feeling sick to his stomach. How long had she been with them? Was she back with him? He growled at the thought and it took him a lot of effort to calm down enough to change back into human.
Jake. He smiled slightly. She remembered him, even in wolf form she had mouth his name and her eyes had been bright with joy. He wished he could have talked to her, asked her where she had been, what she had seen, how long had she been with those damn Cullens.
Ah, Bella, he thought, what are you thinking, going back to the likes of them?
He smiled grimly as he flopped on to his couch, even though they… he hadn't told her about her direct relationship with the Cullens, she had still some how wound up being with them. He grunted unhappily.
He hadn't wanted her to go, she hadn't been any problem really, hardly one. It was just an issue that she couldn't remember and that his Dad had to keep her Dad away from the reserve as so that he wouldn't see his supposedly "missing/dead" daughter. That had been rough. To watch a strong man, fall to piece over losing his daughter, when she was just hiding in the basement below him. It had been her request when she had understood that she mustn't be seen by anyone outside the inner pack and council of elders. But still he made him feel bad to watch the man grief over a daughter who wasn't quite dead, but then again it wasn't like he could have gone up to him and said 'Well here's the deal, she's not dead, she's a, blood sucking, immortal vampire and once more she's a vampire with no memory whatsoever. My condolences.' Oh yeah, that would have gone down so well with Charlie.
Jake rolled over on the couch, almost falling off it. I need a new couch, he told himself again, but of cause he'd never actually get one. Like Bella had done before him, with everyone thinking she was missing or finally dead, he and the rest of the pack had to hide out. They weren't aging, they still looked in their early twenties and if they went outside the reserve people might recognize them and then there'd be hell to may.
Stupid vampires. He cursed. Funnily enough, even with having vampire Bella around, none of the younger boys started changing; they only started to mouths after she had left.
Why are we still changing? Hardly any bloodsuckers come near this place, but we have a bloody army down here.
Now pretty much everyone down at the reserve knew about Protectors now, for their sons (or daughters) had changed at least once into their heritage. Though funnily enough, they couldn't change as well as the ones who had started changing when the Cullens had been around. One change and that was pretty much it. How that worked Jake had no clue.
He had never really liked what he had become, a Werewolf, but now he hated it more then ever. He had no one to talk to. His Dad, Billy, had died about thirty years ago, as had Charlie about five years later. Jake had been surprised he had lasted that long, with the vain hope of maybe Bella coming back, he thought glumly.
Don't I have to vain hope of Bella coming back? He asked himself. He did and know she was back, but… that didn't matter, cause she was still not Bella anymore.
He rolled over again, on to his back, squishing himself against the back of the couch to stop himself from falling off. He closed his eyes, dreaming and remembering.
Fifty-six years ago
"Are you sure it's ok for me to walking around like this, what if I?"
"You won't you haven't shown the slightest sign of interest in blood and Bells, your not that great an actress to hind a blood lust." Teased sixteen year old Jacob Black. He was walking side by side with a much smaller girl, to his great height, with long brown hair and the strangest gold silver eyes he had ever seen. The girl, Bella, pulled a face at him at the mention of blood. She didn't like, even now as a bloody vampire, it still made her queasy. Jacob couldn't believe how ridicules that was, but that was just the way she was. She didn't like human blood. But the thing that was worrying them was that, if she didn't feed on human blood, what did she feed on? She didn't have the Newborn blood lust as they had heard of. Actually she hadn't fed at all and she had been a vampire for around two months now.
"Where are we going?" Bella asked him as they left the town and walked into the mossy, green forest.
"hunting." He stated calmly. He waited for a reaction, but didn't get one. He spun around making sure she had suddenly done a runner, but… there she still stood at the edge of the trees, eyeing them accusingly.
"What?"
"It's too green! There's suppose to be brown in a forest too." She grumbled stalking up to him. He rolled his eyes.
"How can you remember something like that and you don't have a clue who you are." He asked her, she shrugged.
"Maybe my brain wires are screwed." She said and started to walk deeper into the forest.
"Now, how do you remember that too?" he sighed and sped up to catch up with her. Losing her would be really bad, though he had a strangest feeling that if they got separated, she would come back.
She stopped suddenly.
"Are you sure this is going to work. Did real vamp… people like me really feed like this." She asked nervously. Her golden silver eyes where darker then he had ever seen them before, but still he didn't feel threaten by this girl.
"With a Werewolf keeping them company, probably not." He said, Bella crossed her arms across her chest and scowled up at him.
"That's not what I meant." She snapped heatedly.
"Sorry, sorry. I was trying to lighten the mood." He held out his hands in front of him, offering peace. The girl sighed in defeat and turned away, looking around her at the dense trees.
"But are you sure? What happens if I go into a blood lust and head back towards town." She was generally worried about this.
He gulped, did he really have to tell what would happen if that happen. Apparently not, since one look at his face seemed to tell her everything that she had suspected.
"oh." Her tone was dead and unhappy. She fidgeted where she stood.
"We won't let that happen." He reassured her gently.
"Cause where being followed by some of your pack brothers to keep an eye on us…me?" she asked him. There was no point lying to her, she had already figured it out.
"Just safety precautions." He replied weakly, but Bella just shrugged.
"Probably for the best." She mumbled and started walking again. Jacob sighed and ran after her.
"These vampires said they fed only on animal blood, that's why they had golden eyes." Jacob explained, Bella looked up at him with a thoughtful expression.
"I have sort of golden eyes, but I haven't fed on any animals." She pointed out.
"You know your brain wires are screwed, maybe they mess up with turning into a v… into what you are now." He looked away quickly. They where still uncomfortable about the fact she was a Vampire.
"Ok, I'll give it a try; I think I can hear a Deer, off to the right there, drinking by the stream." Bella gulped out, her nerves really starting to show. Jacob nodded in agreement, he heard it to. Bella turned to look up at him, her face alight with nervousness and fear.
"Um, when I do this can you…um… not watch, please." She whispered, her head hanging low. She is still ashamed of what she is, he thought sadly, sure he didn't like what she was either, but this is what she was now; he had to live with this fact as did she.
"I won't watch promise, but if you wanted any help, if it causes you any…"
"I got it Jake." She soothed him gently. With a nervous smile, she started to slowly move in direction that the deer was in.
"Ah, Bella one more thing." Jake said. He didn't want to do this to her, but they had to know.
Bella turned around, confused, her eyes widening in shock as he pulled out his pocket knife.
"Jake?"
He brought the knife down and cut his arm open. Thick red blood trickled out from the long deep, wound in his forearm. He squeezed his eyes shut from the pain for a moment, before looking a Bella, who stared at him horrified.
He waved his arm around, letting the scent of his blood drift over to where Bella stood, white as snow. They had to know, they had to make sure. What happen next surprised not only him, but his watching pack mates.
Bella went green and collapsed on to the forest floor, her hand clamped over her mouth and nose.
"Jake." Her wail was muffled by her hand, but her eyes where reproachful. Jake started laughing. With relief and because of just how funny Bella looked at this moment.
"Go away until you heal. Eww, Jake!" she wailed.
"Sorry, we just needed to make sure; you weren't really a blood thirsty maniac.
"I know there's a maniac here, but it's not Me." she grumbled, scowling at him.
"Sorry, sorry." He said as he watched his arm start to heal.
"Stupid Werewolf!" She grumbled, finally able to get to her feet.
She pulled a face at him and stalked in the direction the deer was, Jacob turned away, his eyes closed and his large hands plastered over his ears.
Either the deer was too startled to make a sound or Bella was to quick, he didn't know, but he didn't hear a thing.
Ten minutes late, Bella came back, tamping him lightly on the shoulder. Her face was pinker, but she was depressed.
"I want to go home." Was all she said, before walking off in the direction they had come. Jake slowly followed after her, eyeing her slouched back sadly.
She hadn't asked for this, but this is what she got. He growled in anger and sped up to walk beside her.
They walked side by side, a young couple of two enemy raises, a hot tempered Werewolf and a Vampire with no memory of her human life. Both willing to die to protect the other.
Even then, the tides where changing.
Author's Note: I bet you weren't expecting this sort of chapter (tell you the truth neither was i). Now, why did I write a chapter like this? Well, to the truth of it, I couldn't think what to write for what was going on with Bella and the Cullens and all them Vampires. Two, I wanted to try to explain why Bella fainted at the end of chapter 12, I have one reason and i thought, well that's a good reason, but how bout throwing in Jake and stir things up a bit. I was planning on bring in Jake and the pack in later on, but i thought hell, why not let them have a go, their probably not going to appear again for a little while, but hopefully htis little chapter satisfied those who asked about Jake. As you can probably tell, I'm not use to writing with Jake, probably because I haven't read that much (one chapter, of Stephenie Meyer work) from his view, so sorry if it was crap, i tried. I'm actaully, quite fond of the end of this chapter with the flashback, hope it made sense to you all. Thanks for reading, hopefully next chapter will be better.
