WOW. Seriously. WOW. I cannot believe the feedback I've gotten from my freakish imagination going off on its own! Thanks guys for all your comments! And, well, since you all commented I feel the need to answer some of your questions.

First of all in case you're confused, Jacob didn't know where to pick Allie up at. She was just walking to school when he drove by and offered to give her a lift the rest of the way.

And secondly, no.Jacob is not naked. He's just -- as usual -- shirtless.

………………………………...

After a while I just stopped fighting with Jacob and shut my eyes tight. I preferred not to see how close we were coming to hitting things. Soon I felt Jacob lift me off his shoulder and set me down on a rocky surface. His warm hands pressed against my face, keeping my eyes covered.

"Okay. Well, we're here. This is my favorite place to go to be alone," he said and uncovered my eyes.

I blinked and looked around. The moon was full so I could see my surroundings almost perfectly.

"Wow. I mean in movies and books they make this so momentous," I said waving my hand at the ocean in front of me, "but seriously, it's just a bunch of water. I mean seriously, I could go to a lake and see this."

Jake's jaw dropped. "You've never seen the ocean?"

"Well, now I have. And I don't understand why everyone gets so worked up about it." I walked forward to where the waves touched my toes. "YIKES! It's cold."

I heard a chuckle from behind me. "Well that definitely didn't have the effect I wanted it to."

I nodded and bent down to pick up a stone and threw it into the waves. With a soundless splash it disappeared into the inky blackness. I shivered from a sudden breeze.

Arms wrapped around me and pulled me into a heated embrace. I heard Jakes laughter as I sighed pulling him closer to ward off the sudden chill.

We stood their like that for a time. The sound of the waves breaking and the sparkle of the moon on the ocean's surface lulled me into a semi-sleep.

"Allie," Jacob's whisper pulled me out of my trance. I looked up to see his face was bent down to mine.

I smiled sheepishly. "Y-yeah?" I asked suddenly shy. Which is stupid. I mean, because I'm so not a shy person. Damn stupid attractive werewolves.

"Want to dance?"

I stared at him. "So. This definitely just turned into a lifetime movie."

"Allie," he sighed, "I was being serious." He let go of me and walked towards a drift wood log. He bent down and fiddled with something behind it. The soft sound of music filled the air.

"You went through a lot of chick flicks to come up with this," I told him as he gathered me back in his arms.

"And?" he smirked.

I looked at him as he twirled me. "Okay, so sue me but, a how can a girl not enjoy a moonlight dance on a beach with the guy she loves?"

He kissed me and I nearly swooned. "That's what I thought," he replied smugly.

"Glad your ego got a boost," I grumbled.

His smile widened. "I got the idea from Mrs. Costa."

I stopped. "What?"

"She told me that you were a hopeless romantic at heart and gave me the idea. In fact, she conveniently went to bed early if you noticed," he tweaked my nose. "Besides, you ate it up. So I don't understand what you're so upset about. And, well, I love you. So that's why I did it."

I sighed and went back to dancing but not before mumbling under my breath.

"Cocky werewolf."

………………………………...

It was at the end of my ridiculously romantic midnight dance that things changed. One minute Jacob and I were on the beach dancing and laughing, next thing I know he stops and stands still as a statue. I reacted as him and froze.

"Jake?" I could barely hear my own whisper. My eyes were wide with fright.

"Don't. . . move . . .stay quiet," his own intense whisper made it back to me and his hands balled into fists.

I started to shake from cold and fright. What the hell happened?

"Stay here," his voice was low, "do not under any circumstances move."

I nodded.

Jacob took off like a bullet towards the forest shedding clothes in the process.

………………………………...

It seemed like hours later when he came out of the woods. It was really probably only a few minutes.

The large russet colored wolf ran gracefully out of the forest and I almost bolted like a terrified rabbit, but then I realized it was just Jacob. The animal's eyes met mine as it came closer, as if cautioning me. The Jacob-Wolf stopped a few feet in front of me and assumed a protective stance -- protecting me -- from something in the woods.

A few terrified tears escaped my eyes as I too waited for whatever was coming from the woods.

Jacob bared his teeth and a low angry growl escaped his throat. I hiccupped in fear and Jacob's hackles rose. It was coming.

I didn't see it. My human eyes were much too slow for that, but I heard the impact it made when it hit Jacob. The thunderous bang echoed off the water -- Jacob and the thing rolled away from me, kicking up stones in the process. My scream sounded throughout the air as I cried for Jacob. I saw the shower of stones heading my way and couldn't dodge them in time.

There was a sharp pain on my temple. A loud howl. Then blackness.

………………………………...

Sorry about how short it was. But I felt like this was a good stopping point. Keep reading and reviewing!
