Chapter 16 (Navigating New Moon)

"So you're not supposed to exist in Forks," Jake continued his stream of thoughts as I desperately tried to assess our situation. "It's Bella's story...no! It's Bella's life and you've altered it all to be about you."

"Jake, shut it!" I turned and faced him, I watched his expression alter, he hadn't expected me to retaliate. "You're not helping at all! Don't you think I've been through all this over the last year, everything you're thinking now I have already thought about," I took a deep breath. "So whatever you're thinking, keep it inside your head, if you can..."

"Sure."

"Thanks, now give the closet another try whilst I put these books away," Jake did as I ordered and I desperately tried to establish what I was going to do. It was fine that I'd returned, but Jacob could cause problems, besides I'd no idea how long I'd been gone either. The two clicks of the door meant that Jake had once again returned and the closet was no working.

"Still broken," he explained. "So are we in England?" he reached over and moved the curtain of my window.

"Yes," I answered. "I don't how long I've been gone though."

"Only one way to find out," he walked over to the door of my room and held it open. Maybe Jake would be useful, he seemed to be giving me a boost in confidence.

"Right..."

It turns out I've been gone for a week, the house was empty so I decided to walk with Jake to a nearby park to wait for a friend. "What are we doing here?" Jake demanded as I settled on my chosen bench.

"I know she'll come," I replied and took a glance at my watch; it was 3.22pm, just a couple more minutes. "My friend Angelina will be here any minute and she's a big Twilight fan, trust me, she'll have answers!" I was right and within a few minutes I saw her silhouette at the end of the path, her dog Jeff with her. "Angie!" I yelped and ran towards her.

"Laura? Where on earth have you been?"

"I went away for a week to America!" I lied slightly, "Come on let me introduce you to someone."

"Angelina, this is Jacob, Jacob this is Angelina," I introduced them and hoped she would work it out for herself.

"Jacob Black, pleasure to meet you Angelina," he shook her hand and gave her a grin.

"Wha-" she glanced at me. "Laura?"

"This is Jacob Black," I explained.

"Ha-funny!"

"Don't tell me you've read those books too," he returned to the bench where we had been sat before.

"Ok Angie, take a deep breath, I'm about to tell you some weird stuff," I paused and tried to gauge her response, she seemed relatively calm. "I ended up in Forks, it's all real, I swear. I've been living with Bella and Charlie but the plot has all gone wrong. Now it's Bella's birthday, the start of New Moon and I've ended up back here, with Jacob!" I begged that she would understand.

"I don't get-" her eyes shifted across to Jake.

"I am Jacob Black, I know Bella Swan, I've seen Edward Cullen," he replied, politely but harshly with an added a roll of his eyes. After several minutes of silence Angie released her dog off the lead and Jacob decided to entertain him with several games of fetch.

"Well Laura, I hate to break this to you but I think this is your very personal version of New Moon," her eyes were wide as she contemplated what was ahead of me.

"You believe me!"

"Of course, you're too stable to come up with something this crazy, unless it had actually happened," her smile was strangely calming.

"Look, I need to get back, or I just need to Jacob back." If she believed me, she could help me.

"Remember though Laura, it's not just you affected. This is New Moon, Jake..." she nodded towards her dog Jeff and Jake who were both bounding across the field.

"Jake, the pack," I swallowed; I'd been so wrapped up in everything related to me I'd managed to forget what challenges Jake had to face. "Don't you think you should warn him?"

"What would happen if you did?"

"I have no idea."

"There'll be signs anyway and it doesn't happen for a while, just try to get him back before then," Angie tried to reassure me, as I knew she would. "What's Forks like?"

"Great, although I think Bella Swan hates me," I laughed at the absurdity of it all.

"No way," she paused. "Why?"

Before I could answer Jake had returned to us. "You okay?"

"Yeah," he answered before he sat beside me silent.

"Jeff wear you out?" Angie asked jokingly but Jake simply ignored her.

"You like these books then too?" Jake decided to break the awkward silence which had developed between us.

"Definitely," Angie smirked; she took a shifty glance in my direction. "Mainly for one reason though..."

"... go on..." Jake encouraged her, he was obviously curious but I knew that Jake wouldn't like this part.

"Jake ignore her," I interrupted, "She just fancies Edward."

"Edward," Angie giggled.

"Is this a joke? He's a bloodsucker!" Jake stood up. "How can you like him too?"

"He's not a normal vam-"

"You've never met him, just read about him-" Jake was getting steadily more angry at us both.

"Jake leave her!" I had to defend my friend; to her this was completely ridiculous.

"How can you defend her? How can you defend him? How can you like him? How can you..." He stood up; this just made him more threatening.

"Jake!" I whined and grabbed his arm to pull him back down, but the instant my hand touched his arm I realised what had happened. "You're burning up."

"I'm fine."

"Jake, your temperature!"

"Laura!" Angie warned, she knew the plot of New Moon, she knew what was happening.

"It's nothing, probably just a chill or something."

"I-"

"Leave me!" He shook me off before he stormed off into the trees behind us. He left both of us silent, only Jeff responded, he barked desperately in the direction Jake had headed.

"Angie, I can't do this!"

"You have to sort it, you started it all!" Angie genuinely looked a little scared.

"This is just complete madness, but I can't have him wandering around alone, I've got find him!" I leapt up and dashed into the trees in pursuit of Jake.

"No, wait, Laura!" Angelina's voice echoed from behind me. "You never read the last book! What about Breaking Dawn?" She was right but at the moment there was something more severe in the future, there was a possible werewolf in my home town and it was my entirely fault.
