Disclaimer: Look at the A/N in chapter 1(:
I'm going through this really fast so keep up with me!
I continued to walk down the path looking side to side occasionally, searching for the wolf with the beautiful reddish fur and dark, deep eyes that told a story that I wanted to read. I had been denying my feelings towards Jake for almost a year now and then he goes and kisses me and makes me fall even deeper in love with him. Granted I did ask him to kiss me, but still! Is this fair? That he gets to suck me in like a vacuum cleaner does to dirt? I love Edward! Right?
My thoughts continued to bombard their way into my head, making it start to pulse and pound and ache. I put my fingers to my temples and ran them in circular motions for a moment. When I looked up I saw the rest of the Cullens getting ready for battle and I debated on talking to them. I knew they were worried about me. Even Rosalie was hell bent on protecting me. Maybe she wasn't as stuck up and mean as I thought. I saw the wolves approaching them in their phases. They obviously didn't trust the Cullens enough to show them who they really were.
As they neared the middle of the field, one of the wolves locked eyes with me. I saw the reddish colored fur and was easily lost in those dark brown pools that were his eyes. I immediately knew Jacob was staring at me and by the look on his soft wolf face, he was a little angry I left the campsite but happy I came to find him. He walked past the group of vampires and eyed them warily, not trusting them. Once he was past them he walked up to me and nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck. His fur was really soft and I reached out to stroke his neck.
I heard a slight growl coming from deep in his throat but it wasn't meant to warn me against what I was doing. It was a growl of contentment. After a couple minutes he pulled away and lowered himself to the ground. He motioned for me to climb up onto his back and I did. I wrapped my arms around my neck trying to hold on without choking him as he sped up. I closed my eyes loving the feeling that I got as the ice cold wind rushed through my long, dark, wavy hair. I buried my face in the fur on the back of Jake's head and sighed happily.
Once we reached the campsite again, a little pang of sadness arose in my stomach. I didn't want to let Jake go just yet. I gracefully (and surprisingly) jumped down without hurting myself and backed up so the beautiful wolf could turn back into the beautiful man that I was falling in love with. I twisted the ring on my left finger and looked away as Jake slipped into a new pair of shorts. After he was done, I whispered something to him that, if he wasn't a werewolf, he would've never heard. "We need to talk," I said looking down towards the ground and the engagement ring on my finger. I looked up into his confused face and sighed before I started.
"Jake, what the hell happened?" I asked calmly. "Huh? What are you talking about Bella?" he replied, still confused at what I was asking. "Don't play stupid with me Jacob Black. What the hell was that kiss about? I asked for a little peck." I huffed. Suddenly my body went stiff and my eyes widened. What if he didn't feel what I felt? It could've easily been a one sided thing. He chuckled and shook his head. "So you felt it too huh? The feeling of sparks running through your body like a firework? The feeling of never being able to quit and always wanting more?" he asked smoothly. Suddenly he leaned in and whispered in my ear, "That, my dear Bella was us. Just us. No magical force from the universe involved." I shivered when his warm breath met the sensitive skin on my neck. He pulled back and smirked. "You cold?" he asked sarcastically. I couldn't possibly make words form so I just shook my head and walked to catch up with him.
Edward looked worried when I saw him. He had no idea where I went and he was scared that Victoria attacked me. I didn't say anything to him, which hurt him so much. I brushed past him and went into the tent to sleep. Along with my headache, I also had some stuff to sort through. I was grateful Edward couldn't read my mind because I couldn't have him know that I was trying to decide between him and his natural enemy. I fell asleep rather quickly but was soon awoken by a freezing body. I needed to get warm and fast otherwise, the Cullens and Jake and his wolf pack were fighting the newborns for nothing. Edward had no choice because he was so cold as a vampire. He hollered for Jake to come into the tent.
"Please Jacob," he pleaded, "She's going to die if you don't help her." Reluctantly, he waited to see what Jake's response was going to be. "Fine bloodsucker. But not for you," he said calmly as he took his place behind me, "for her." He looked down at me with all the love in the world for me. Of course I couldn't see it because I was sound asleep, warm from the heat emanating from his body. I slept comfortably through the night and woke with a smile on my face once I realized who was the owner of the arm that was draped lightly around my waist.
So what did you think? Love it, hate it? What about Jake? Isn't he dreamy? Haha. Next chapter coming up soon!
