Jacob had managed to avoid contact with Edward for the rest of that day. It was just going to be even more awkward to be around him after having that conversation. The fact he had an actual conversation was strange enough.

Jacob tried to focus on other things to keep his mind occupied. And guess what he started thinking about...yep you guessed it the mysterious door.

He didn't even know why that room in particular seemed to be so intriguing to him. After all..what was so special about that room. Why not any other room in that house? Jacob laid awake in bed that night...for some reason he didn't feel tired at all.

"God!" he groaned. He had no desire at all to fall asleep and it bugged the crap out of him. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that he was half a vampire now though. They didn't sleep right?

/Well I'm obviously not falling asleep anytime soon...school starts day after tomorrow. I wonder what it's going to be like./

He wondered how much different it would be from his school back at the Reservation. It couldn't be that much different right? After all school was school. Jacob let out a sigh and rolled onto his side.

"Maybe it won't be as bad as I think..." he said. Trying to think positively..that was definitely something he hadn't done in awhile. Jacob sighed again closing his eyes and tried to fall asleep while thinking of the upcoming troubles that the next day might bring.

Jacob didn't sleep the rest of the night.

...

The next morning Jacob found himself standing right at the stairs...staring at that door. He was torn in between wether to just ignore it...or to see what was in there.

But Jacob's curiosity was getting the best of him at this point. It was like it was taunting him! The door was just open a crack allowing light to come through but not enough for him to see anything.

Jacob sighed, "Alright I'll just see what's in there," he muttered to himself. With this decided Jacob made his way to the end of the hallway and stopped in front of the door.

He could feel the anticipation building inside of him, he quickly glanced around making sure that he was alone. He then wrapped his hand around the handle and opened the door with a soft creak.

Jacob blinked when he looked at the inside of the room. He stepped inside the room. This was...not what he expected. The room wasn't very large there a window on the opposite side of the wall the door was on. What drew his attention was the large black grand piano in the middle of the room.

Jacob eyed the piano and blinked again, "...A music room?" he asked silently.

"Yes it is."

Jacob widened his eyes and jumped out of his skin gasping. He whipped around quickly to find Edward standing in front of him in the doorway. Jacob panted slightly glaring in frustration at the vampire.

"YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!" he yelled at him. "God! Don't do that!" he said feeling his heart still beating rapidly from the near heart attack Edward had given him. The vampire had his arms crossed leaning against the door frame and smirked slightly.

"Sorry," he said. He pushed himself from the doorframe and stepped toward the wolf. "What are you doing in here anyways?" he asked raising a brow. Jacob looked down opening his mouth.

"Uh..I uh..." Jacob looked to the side trying to find an explanation.

"I didn't catch that," Edward said looking down at the shorter male. Jacob frowned.

"I wasn't doing anything." he said in defense. Edward looked at him.

"Oh you weren't." he said knowing he was lying. "You know it's rude to go into other people's rooms without asking." he said. Jacob tensed when he said this.

"Oh..this is your music room." he said. "Look I was just curious about what was in here is all." he said.

"Mm-hm" Edward mumbled walking to the bench in front of the piano and sat down. "You haven't even seen half the rooms in this house have you?" he inquired.

"..No.." Jacob replied glancing slightly over his shoulder. Quite frankly he didn't want Edward in the same room with him if he couldn't see where he was.

"I'm not going to attack you," Edward said interrupting Jacob's thought.

"Ugh I told you to stop reading my thoughts Cullen!" he said in annoyance. Edward glanced at the boy offhandedly while letting his fingers run over the piano keys.

"And I told you I can't stop reading them." he contradicted. Jacob sighed in aggravation.

"And I told you before that I'm just not going to be okay with you for a long time." Jacob stated.

"I know." Edward replied. Jacob frowned slightly looking at the floor.

/God damn it how does he manage to stay so calm!/ Jacob asked in annoyance. He was just getting tenser and tenser staying in the room with him.

"You know I'm not forcing you to stay in here." Edward said glancing at Jacob sensing how uneasy the wolf was getting.

Jacob just grunted and walked out of the room. /That was weird...why the heck does it seem he's always where I am anyways?/

Jacob shook his head trying to shake himself of the thoughts that kept eating at his brain. In his head he was going insane being in this house. There had been one other thing that had been bugging him on top of all the rest of this.

And that was the question of wether or not he would be able to shift. Jacob knew he was still half a werewolf but wether he was still able to shift was uncertain. For all he knew his ability to shift could be gone.

If he wasn't able to shift...then Jacob would literally go insane. He couldn't let his new found 'power' get out of control again. So he needed some way to let everything out...something to do so that he wouldn't go crazy!

Jacob let out a sigh resting his head against the wall. The thought of losing his werewolf ability made his stomach feel queazy.

When he shifted he felt so much...better. Felt so much more comfortable..free. Like everything was just let loose.

/I have to know...I have to know if it's possible anymore./

Thats what Jacob decided...he had to know...if he didn't..he'd surely go insane.

...

Jacob waited till nightfall when he snuck out of the house. Well...at least he thought he went out undetected. But little did he actually know that Edward knew everywhere Jacob went.

Jacob sucked in a breath as he glanced around himself. So far so good.

Jacob let out a sigh of relief and crept off of the porch and into the forest. Jacob found himself horribly tense...nothing but awful memories came from walking in this forest at night. He shuddered when the image of those...ink black eyes burned into his head.

Jacob inside was going crazy already he needed release...he needed to shift so badly. Jacob continued to walk through the forested area until he reached a small clearing.

Jacob came to a stop and looked around to find himself alone. Jacob looked at the ground for a moment before closing his eyes.

"Come on...please.." Jacob whispered out loud. Praying, that he would be able to shift. He needed to feel whole...like he..belonged somewhere. The pack might have taken his family..his name..his home..but he'd be damned if they took his abilities as well. Werewolf was still partly his species and he'd be damned if they took that too.

He clenched his fists feeling his lip quiver slightly, he shut his eyes tighter.

"Please..please," he whispered out the desperation leaking into his words. Jacob felt a burst in his chest and felt he familiar feeling of his body changing.

Bones and skin morphing, he let out a grunt as his body hit the ground. Jacob opened his eyes and felt the warm feeling consume him, he closed his eyes curling against himself happily.

/Oh thank god...thank god./ that was all he could think. It described everything perfectly.

For the first time in a long time...Jacob felt...at peace. He felt warm and..well he felt whole. Like he belonged at least..he was just so happy to have something that he remembered.

Jacob opened his eyes again and lifted up his head. It felt so right being back in his wolf form. He let out a breath through his nose as the breeze ruffled his russet colored fur.

/At least I still have this...they may have banded me from my pack...but they can't take this. As long as I still have this..I can live. This is all i need./

Jacob hauled his large form off the ground he wobbled slightly on his four legs. He whined silently from the pain in his legs. He was vaguely reminded of the very first time he shifted..he felt a similar feeling when he first stood up then too.

Jacob wobbled slightly again before finding his balance once more. He hadn't shifted in so long, his body felt awkward being back in his wolf form. Usually he shifted every day or every other day..so maybe a little more then a week without it was a long time.

The large wolf lifted its head up so it was staring up at the star dotted sky. Jacob breathed in the crisp night air and let out a long drawn out howl. With it letting out everything that he felt..and all that was haunting him.

And it felt amazing.

The howl rang throughout the forest..and everything that heard it could feel pity for the creature causing the noise. Jacob heard the sound dissipate as he lowered his head slightly.

He tilted his head back again letting out another howl cocking his ear back and let all his feeling seep into the sound. His instincts were bursting forth after being sheltered for so long. And they told him to do the one thing that would make him feel better.

Howl.

And so that's what he did. And that's what he continued to do, he howled..and howled. Each note harmonizing with the other. The noise holding hidden messages within them. Feelings. And Jacob loved every single minute of it, because with each howl that he made, the more feeling he got out. The more he was relieved of. The better he felt.

Unbeknownst to him in the far off distance of the forest a lone figure leaned against a tree. Golden orbs peeked out through half lidded eyes, the distant howl whispered through the air around the figure.

"Who'd have thought something so simple, could relieve someone so much."

A silent sigh escaped the figure's lips as the golden eyes closed for a moment. Before reopening again.

"Then again..you really haven't had much relief from anything lately."

The figure said softly, the figure's eyes continued to stare forward, appearing to be listening to the howls. As if understanding their hidden meanings.

Once more the eyes closed before opening again. Before stepping out of the shadowed area of the tree's coming into the light that the moon provided.

The light bounced off of Edward's pale skin in a way making it gleam more of instead of sparkle. He let out a soft sigh again letting his eyes drift up to look at the star lit sky.

"Have you Jacob?"
