Chapter 4

Jacob was running silently through the forest, hearing nothing but his breathing and his footsteps hitting the soft ground. Those blue-green eyes just burned in his head, unable to rid himself of their beauty and…loneliness.

Dude...what are you talking about, said Seth, interrupting his thoughts.

What?

What's with the green eyes? They are like stuck in my head now…who do they belong to? Is it a girl? Is she pretty? I bet she's really pretty considering how much you're thinking about her…

Seth? Jacob asked.

Yeah?

Shut up, Jacob replied and took off running. I am not thinking about her, god dammit. I can't think about her…I am imprinted to Nessie for crying out loud. What the fuck is wrong with me!!

You're doing it again, said Seth.

Jacob growled at him and quickly phased back into his human form. Thunder roared across the sky as rain poured down from the heavens. He looked to his side and saw Seth phase back as well. They walked up to an old Victorian mansion and knocked on the door. A tale, pale muscular man with a buzz-cut answered the door, followed by a voice in the background.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said the light, female voice.

He looked behind him at the voice before he turned around to see his guests bare to the bone. He quickly covered his eyes and stumbled back a little. "Oh shit Alice could you give a man a heads up every once in a while."

A short, pixie-haired petite female with eyes the color of butterscotch, hopped up to the door. "Here's some clothes for you to gentleman," she said with a smile and bounced off to another part of the house.

Jacob and Seth dressed quickly, because it was nothing more than sweatpants and t-shirts and entered the house. They entered the home and Seth closed the door behind him. They walked through the house until they reached the living room where Alice and what looked to be her family with her.

She bounced over to over to the couch and sat with a pale, young man with smooth, wavy, blonde hair. That was her mate, Jasper Cullen. He was the quietest of the group and he had this special ability that allowed him to control the emotions of others, which Jacob thought was very handy in tough situations.

He looked to his left and saw the muscular man sitting in an armchair, with a blonde bombshell sitting on his lap. His name was Emmett Cullen and the beauty was Rosalie, his mate. She was very beautiful, with long, flowing, blonde hair, a banging body and legs that looked like they went on forever but don't be fooled. She had a temper that was as fierce as her body and she got a special nickname from Jacob...she-bitch from hell.

He returned his gaze back to the couch and standing behind it was Esme and Carlisle Cullen. Carlisle was the one who started this whole family and he ruled it like a peaceful king. He was tall with short, blonde hair sleeked back in a regal fashion. He had a calm smile and an air that made Jacob respect him. Esme was a true beauty, with soft features and beautiful, lush, brown hair that cascaded around her face. She had kind eyes that made you feel loved and protected.

The Cullen's' weren't like your ordinary family. They played baseball in thunderstorms and were so close-knit that you would think something was wrong with them but more importantly...it was their eyes. They all shared a butterscotch color that was intriguing but creepy all at the same time.... oh and the fact that they are vampires.

They reason why their eyes were a golden color is because they don't feed from humans, they drink animal blood instead so in a sense...they call themselves vegetarians, which I don't get, but he plays along like he does.

Something was missing. "Where's Nessie?" Jacob asked.

"She's with her mother...moron," replied Rosalie.

He turned to her, eyes blazing. "I wasn't talking to you."

"Well too damn bad because I answered anyways."

I'm going to kill her...I swear I'm going to. "Listen bitch, don't start with me."

"Why don't you go back to doghouse?"

"After you, madam...I mean you do know the saying…'age before beauty'."

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry, I mean you should really take a look in a mirror."

"What are you talking about shit face?"

"I'm talking about the wrinkle in the middle of you forehead. Congratulations, you're finally starting to look your age."

Jacob smiled as his last comment hit home. She was on her feet and at his neck in a matter of seconds.

"What did you just say to me!?" she roared.

"What, are you losing your hearing too?"

Jacob was trying to fight off a really pissed off Rosalie and Emmett was laughing so hard that he broke the chair, so nobody noticed when three more vampires entered the room.

"What in the hell are you two doing?" an irritated voice asked.

The violence paused as everyone's eyes turned to the voice's maker.

She was about 5'6, with luscious brown hair and pale skin. Standing beside her was a man about 5'9" with bronze-colored hair and they both had shining, gold eyes.

"I mean seriously, do i have to put you two in corners and have a time-out?"

"Oh come on Bella, you know that this is hilarious," replied Emmett as he got up off the floor and brushed the remains of the chair off his bottom.

She gave him a hard look before her gaze returned to Jacob and Rosalie. "I don't know what to do with you," she said on a sigh.

The man beside her just laughed and put his arm around her shoulders. "Oh Bella, you that they are never going to get along but it sure is fun to watch them go at it."

"Shut up Edward," Bella said. "Don't encourage them."

Everyone laughed at her comment and Jacob's gaze returned to the she-devil at his throat. Her eyes narrowed and they gave a silent truce that was as solid as ice in the middle of August. The two released each other and walked to the other sides of the room: Rosalie stood by Emmett and Jacob stood by Seth.

Jacob was thinking of counterattacks in case Rosalie decided to attack him again but his thoughts were momentarily disconnected as a little girl came running from behind the couch, into his arms.

"Uncle Jake, Uncle Jake, I missed you," replied the little girl as she hugged him tight.

He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back. "Hey Nessie, I missed you too."

She released him from her hug and looked into his eyes. "So did you find whatever was in our forest?"

He paused as the eyes in the room looked at him with interest. "Uh, yeah I did. That's actually why I came here in the first place."

Nessie furrowed her brow and put her hand on his head. Suddenly he was sent back in time, watching his memories flash by him and a blur until they stopped on the beautiful girl, with those amazing eyes that looked up at him like they knew who he was and made his breath catch.

He grabbed her hand and pulled it away from his head. "You really shouldn't do that without permission."

"She's very beautiful, the girl, I can see why you think of her often."

He was shocked and amazed at the same time. "Um, I don't think of her often but that's not the point here. I don't know what she is but what i do know is the she sure as hell ain't human."

"Is she another vampire?" asked Carlisle.

"No," said Alice. "If she was, I would have seen her."

"Did you see anything this afternoon?" asked Edward.

"No…it was all hazy, like i was looking through foggy glasses," she replied.

Edward looked back at Jacob. "Do you think she's dangerous?"

"I'm not sure...when i saw her, she looked almost human but then…i dunno. She read my mind though."

"What?" Edward was really interested now, because his special ability was mind reading, and to find another who shared the same gift as he made him intrigued.

"Yeah," Jacob replied. "It was weird though...like she didn't even know she was doing it herself."

"Oh, well we must find her, in the slight chance that she is dangerous, we don't want her going into town."

"Oh my god, Charlie!" said Bella. "My father's house would be the first she would reach this deep in the forest, either that or the reservation."

"I already got the guys out looking for her, so she wont be on the reservation yet," replied Jacob. "All we can do is wait."

"Um guys, I don't think we have that long of a wait," said Alice.

Jacob looked at her. "Why?"

"Because the future just got hazy," she replied before thunder ripped across the sky, making the house shake in the process.

"Did anybody hear that?" asked Esme

"Hear what?" Carlisle asked her.

A soft knocking broke the silence. "That," she replied.

"Someone's at the door," Nessie said.

"I'm not answering it," replied Emmett. "You know what happened last time I did."

Alice chuckled and Edward smiled, for he read Emmett's mind and knew what they were talking about. He sighed. "I'll go answer it and was at the door in a second. He opened it and a young girl, drenched from the rain ran into his arms, looked into his eyes and passed out.
