Chapter Five

Jacob Black

Seth's imprint sure was a wildfire. I was taking a moment to study her, falling behind the others. She was wearing clothes that were perfectly normal, but Alice would have thrown a fit over, a pink t-shirt and jeans. I would have to remember to tell the others about her. Lilly turned around and I had the distinct urge to hide, I had gotten caught.

She flashed me a smile and continued to talk to Embry, Quil, and Seth at the same time. I got the distinct feeling that with her, it was like she never ran down, I couldn't imagine this girl sitting still for anytime at all. She simply moved too much. Her eyes, however, were constantly glued to Seth.

Her sister had met up with us again and told us that Lilly's brother was sick and that she shouldn't come back home for breakfast, as he had been one of the people that had helped make it, making our breakfast plans garbage.

I couldn't help but stare at her sister. She was pretty, but she lacked the natural ease Lilly had, and had a scary expression on her face that seemed permanent. Holly, Lilly had called her, looked much like Edward had right before Renesmee was born, the hanging man. Holly was freaked out about something and was trying to be calm and hide it from others. She said she was going to study at a friend's house and that Lilly shouldn't worry about finding her before she went home. Lilly scowled slightly at her sister's excuse. I half expected the girls to start fighting, the way Holly was sneering at Lilly and Seth, who were, admittedly, very close together.

Lilly just smiled and took Seth's hand, as her sister retreated back into the darkness of the trees. "I guess that ruins the home cooked meal theory. You guys must know all the good places to eat. Mind showing a girl around?" She grinned cheekily.

She sure was bold. I smiled, "Sure, we'll show you around." I nudged Seth, "Of course, I'm sure our Seth wouldn't mind taking you home and cooking for you. He's our little chef in training."

Seth growled, "Jake, stop it, please."

Lilly smiled at Seth and his face glazed over in a happy fog, "Seth it's okay. I like your friends." She grinned at me, "Jacob, since Seth is being a kill joy, would you mind being my guide?" She looped her arm in mine.

I laughed, "I'd love to, but I don't think Seth would like that."

Her face softened when she saw Seth's livid expression. She moved away from me, "Seth, I'm just kidding. I have the feeling that you're the best guide I could get." She put a hand against his cheek and he leaned into her touch. The others and I looked away, the moment was too personal, "Don't pout, Seth. You're cuter than he is anyway."

I spun around and gasped, "Lilly! I'm hurt!" I held a hand over my chest and sniffed.

She giggled and glanced at me over her shoulder, "Jacob, your still cute too. He's just cuter." She bit her lip thoughtfully, "What do you guys do for fun on Saturday's?"

Seth slung an arm around her shoulder, drawing her attention back to him, "We hang out on the beach mostly." He grinned at the rest of us, "What do you say Jake, think we could bring the new girl and give her a culture shock?"

It was cute, he was trying to act cool, but still asking for my permission. I gave him a nod of approval. How could I say no to him? He was practically my little brother.

We all turned back to the reservation and started walking. "If you want to Seth, just make sure to hold on to her, wouldn't want to lose such a pretty girl." I turned to the other two, "Hey, why don't you two go tell the Cullen's we'll be at the beach. Ask if they want to join us."

Lilly bit her lip thoughtfully, "The beach?"

I feeling of dread filled me. It was going to be sunny later, Alice had called and told us. The Cullen's wouldn't be joining us. If Lilly was a vampire, or something, I would kill someone. That would hurt Seth too much. No one would hurt my pack mate, especially not his own imprint.

A smile spread on her face, slowly. It was a smile that was made to kill, sly and devious. A wicked joy danced in her eye, "I was about to say no, but then I remembered that I don't have to be home for breakfast." She giggled, the noise sounded like one a joyful child would have made, "Sweet!" She grabbed Seth's arm, linking their elbows together. She looked up at him and asked, "Are you ready to go?"

I looked at her shining eyes, they looked like the Cullen's, only silver. Actually, they were more reminiscent of the way Alice looked when she was about to go shopping. Hyper. This girl was crazy about the water. It made me smile.

She smiled up at Seth. The way she looked at him struck me as odd. She had just met Seth, but she was holding onto him like they had been together for years. It was strange that she would reciprocate his feelings so quickly. I did smile though; he looked so incredibly content when she was with him. Her joy was infectious, just like Seth's kindness. They were perfect. It was only too wonderful that he had imprinted on her. I could see it for my pack mate, she would make him happy. I wish everyone was so happy.

Speaking of happiness, suddenly I remembered that I had Nessie to tend to. I had promised to take her hunting today. I gave my apologies to Seth. He said it was fine, but I don't think he really heard me. He was too busy staring at Lilly like a lost puppy. He had already fallen for this girl, Hook, Line and Sinker. Just like I had fallen for my Nessie.

Hah, too bad Lilly probably wouldn't return his feelings for a little while, now I had to go play my part. I wouldn't give Nessie up for anything. She was my entire existence. If she wanted me to, I would follow her like an overgrown puppy everyday, even to the end of the Earth.

Chapter 5 Extra

3rd Person

Location: The Home of Jason Turner

Jason was grinning at his little boy. He was a perfect baby, ten fingers, ten toes and a rather well developed set of lungs that he only used when he got mad, which just happened to be when his father wasn't right next to him. He got those from his mother along with his emerald green eyes.

Right now, the infant was sleeping in the arms of the most beautiful girl in the world. Holly only slept when he was with her. Actually the only time she did anything with any emotion was with him. She looked so young. Jason smiled at the thought; she was young, almost sixteen, but not quite. About a month shy. It made him feel dirty. She was so little, so ethereal, and in some ways, he had ruined her. He had taken her innocence from her.

She was pale, looking almost like the Cullen's, that he had determined to be vampires very shortly after moving to Forks. She had come to his apartment about two hours ago and had been asleep when her head hit the pillow. She hadn't even taken time to see their son, but when Jason had curled up with her with Lysander in her arms, she had taken the baby from him in her sleep and had clung to him ever since.

He sighed. She was so pretty with her long, dark, eyelashes resting gracefully on her cheeks and her thin arms wrapped around their son. Jason ran a hand over Holly's cheek. She moaned sleepily and leaned into his touch. He had woken her up. Without opening her eyes, she took his hand in hers and brought his hand to her lips, kissing the center of his palm. It was a tender gesture, especially for her.

Jason blushed, the color spreading under his abnormally thin skin like a wildfire, "I didn't mean to wake you up."

Holly's eyes fluttered open and her emerald eyes looked up at him, "It's fine." She whispered, "I wouldn't want to wake any other way. With you and Sander its almost nice to wake up." She gently ran her fingers through her son's blond hair. Still asleep, the baby grabbed her pale fingers from his hair and shoved them into his mouth, sucking contentedly. She smiled. A tear ran down Holly's cheek, "God, he's so beautiful. It's surreal. I can't believe he's ours."

Jason tenderly kissed the tear from her chin, he hated to see her cry, "He is ours, Holly, yours and mine. I wanted you to see him. I still don't think you realize he's here."

Holly's eyes flashed, "What do you mean?"

"You've been in a daze since you found out you were pregnant, Hell's Bells. I'm worried about you." He wanted to take his words back as soon as he'd said them, but it was too late. He was going to get it now.

"I'm tired of being worried over." Holly hissed, trying not to wake their son as she took her fingers from his mouth. She didn't need to bother, he thought, he knew the boy could sleep through anything, "Why won't everyone just leave me alone? I'm not a child! You're as bad as Lilly."

He flinched, being compared to her worthless older sister was insulting, "Holly, don't be like that. I'm your mate. It's my job to protect you." His brown eyes seemed endless to her, his concern reflecting genuinely in them.

She sighed, her body slumping back onto the bed, "You're right." Jason wrapped his arms around her and their son, pulling both to rest in the crook of his arms. "Jason, what do I do? How do we get through this?"

"Holly, I'll do anything for you. We'll do this together." Worry filled him, "Unless you think I'll weigh you down."

"You won't weigh me down, I weigh myself down."

He didn't understand, he never understood what she said when she was like this, and he was six hundred years older than she was, give or take a century. It seemed o him that men just weren't meant to understand woman, he sure didn't, "Holly, tell me what's wrong."

Jason saw fear pass behind her eyes, a deep seated crushing fear, "I can't see." She whispered so softly he wasn't sure he'd heard her right.

His jaw dropped, "What?"

She turned away from him, "I can't see anything, but you."

Jason relaxed and smiled, pushing his panic down in his heart, "That's sweet Holly." He touched her hand. Needing to feel her near him. The look on her face stopped him.

She growled at him, rolling on top of him with out waking their son and staring him in the eyes, "I'm serious! Jason, I can only see you clearly because you are a warlock." She laughed, but the sound almost caused Jason physical pain, "Sander is a loads clearer than everyone else, but still blurry. I think it's because I'm half and he's half, but I can't stand it anymore. I had to tell you."

Another tear ran down her cheek and she brushed it away angrily. Jason wasn't sure what to say. He had once thought that losing her sight would be a side affect of her gift, but he had just dismissed it then. He decided against saying anything. She didn't need or want his sympathy at the moment. Instead, he sat up and held her to his chest. She started sobbing freely. After a few moments, he felt her tears begin to soak his shirt.

He held her until she stopped crying and then, he pulled her back and forced her to look at him. He stroked her ebony hair back from her wet face, where it was "Do you want to talk about it, love?"

Her lower lip trembled, whether in anger or fear, "I'm scared. You and Sander aren't safe with me around. No one is, I'm a liability." She punched the wall, leaving a dent the size of a baseball. "My son of a bitch father did this to me. I'll kill him." Jason blanched, no one talked about Luc like that and got away with it. In the entire universe, Holly was probably the only one who could.

Before Jason could chastise her, she went on, "I'm worried about Lilly and Oliver. She's been pushing him aside, and she won't talk to me. I tried to get her to before I came here, but she brushed me off. I can barely see her future anymore. All I get is little snippets that don't mean anything." She laughed curtly, "This morning, I saw her eating breakfast with the family…tomorrow morning."

Jason bit his lip, trying not to laugh at her obvious frustration. She could be so amusing when she was like this. This mood was much better than her "meltdown" one. It was nice to see this side, it reminded him why he loved her. Sure, she was a little Bi-polar, but that was just in her blood. It wasn't something she could avoid. Being a half-ling had that affect, her temper was short and she had to work very hard to keep her emotions in check which often left her acting slightly emotionless.

An hour later, when he held a sleeping Holly in his arms, Jason would think of a time without her. He didn't know how he had lived. One thing was for sure. He would kill any person who hurt her. She was his, no matter what she said. His.
