Cliff Goes High High
In which Jacob learns to look before you leap.
Ever since Jacob was a little boy he absolutely LOVED cliff diving. This happened at the young age of seven. Jacob was going through a rather off phase. He would walk around on all fours, meowing when he was hungry, hissing when something bothered him. He chased mice and birds, and demanded visitors pet his long, silky hair, and scratched him behind the ears. After two weeks of Jacob's cat-like behavior, Billy carried Jacob out onto the roof of their tiny, red house, and threw him.
No, Billy was not a cruel, homicidal parent. There happened to be a pool directly under the spot where he threw Jacob from. Thinking Jacob would be terrified, he smiled to himself, and watched his son splash into the pool, before climbing down from the roof and going inside.
But he was wrong. Jacob wasn't scared. He found the fall exhilarating! The wind had resisted, trying to fight the unconquerable gravity, twirling him in spirals as he plummeted toward the water, finishing with a satisfying splash.
Since that day, Jacob could not find a cliff high enough to satisfying his needs.
One beautiful, sunny day, Jacob hopped into his little Volkswagen Rabbit and drove along the twisting, turning, cliff-side road, which lead to the best cliff diving spot in La Push. It took him only a few minutes to reach the very top of the cliff. Once he reached his goal, he took in the view, looking over the vast ocean scene, First Beach, and the gray water. Jacob slowly inhaled the cool, brisk sea air. He smiled as he stood several steps away from the ledge. This was going to be good.
He took the few short steps, then leapt gracefully into the air, twisting and turning, flipping through the air like he'd done so many times before.
As Jacob neared the water, he realized his mistake. It was low tide. His futile attempts to alter his course failed, and he was brutally impaled on a stalagmite.
Jacob Black had learned to look before you leap.
