Chapter Eight ~ Meet the Coven

"And there they were."

I was shaken awake by Jacob. After accidentally slapping him in my drowsy state, I sat up and read the clock. It was only 8:00. "Jake what is going on?"

I couldn't see at first, but when my eyes adjusted to the morning glow I realized that Jacob was smiling broadly. This came as a surprise to me because I thought that something was wrong.

"Quil!" he shouted in excitement. He could tell I was confused so he went on. "He's here!"

"Here, here?" I asked, totally embarrassed because I was wearing little, blue plaid boxers and a matching tank-top as pjs that I was determined to let no one see.

"Well, no." He frowned for only a second before smiling again. "But he's in Forks! I think the guys said he was getting new shoes. Let's go!" He pulled me off the bed but stopped shorts as he noticed what I was wearing and smiled mischievously.

"Jake," I half whispered, half whined. "I am in Pjs."

"I noticed." He looked me up and down and smirked.

"I have to change." Jacob let go of my hand and I groaned. "I don't have any clean clothes!" Jacob just laughed and took my hand again, guiding me towards the closet where I found five knitted sweaters in there. The kindness of the wolf girls almost made me tear up but I still definitely needed to go shopping. Where was Alice when you needed her?

"Good! Now leave." I giggled, pushing him out. He complained a little but that was kind of expected from Jacob Black.

In the closet I found a cute, pale yellow, swoop-cut sweater. In my suitcase I found a faded pink tank-top with lace that I wore under the sweater. My jeans were dark to compliment the ensemble.

"I want lemonade," Jacob stated as I entered the hall.

"Why?"

"It's your outfit. It's lemony." Snicket.

"Lemony? So I look yummy?" I stopped at the end of the hall and went in front of him so that he could not get by. He looked me up and down and his eyes brightened as he thought of something to countersign. I decided that I did not want to hear it. Jacob had said some things in Eclipse that I would have rightfully slapped him for. Instead, I put my hands up in stop motion. "Never mind," I said.

He chuckled before taking my hand and pulling me outside in search for Quil.

At first we went to a small shop on the reservation. The man said he had seen him but that he had not had what he wanted so we kept searching. Finally we decided to check Newton's store because they had more…. athletic shoes.

When Newtons came into view we saw Quil and he spotted us. His face –along with Jacob's and even my own- brightened.

"Hey! This must be her. Darn right Jacob; she is beautiful," Quil complemented. I looked down at my feet to hide my blush.

"Told you!" Jacob boasted, giving his friend a manly hug.

"Gosh it is good to see you again. Sorry I could not drive you back; Claire needed me at her birthday. Couldn't say no, you know?"

"Especially now," Jacob answered, looking back down at me. Another blush crept up, turning my pink cheeks red.

"Well, hello Ginny." Quil put out his hand to shake mine. "It is very nice to meet you. Thank you for bringing him home!"

"The pleasure is all mine, Quil." I shook his hand and smiled.

"Beautiful, just beautiful," Quil uttered and winked at Jake. Jacob smiled proudly, still holding my hand.

Then, everyone froze. Both boys' eyes were wide in terror. "What is wrong?" I wanted to know what had just ruined the happy reunion.

"You should go, Jake," Quil tried to command calmly but his voice quivered slightly.
"No I can handle it."

"Look Jacob, I have been able to live peacefully with them for six months now, but you….. You can't handle this."

"Quil I…"

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!" I screamed. Both boys gave me an annoyed look, but they did not have to answer. I, too, froze when I saw what…..Who was coming. Why had I not guessed it before? What were we going to do now?

Edward, Alice, and Bella Cullen were walking down the road hand and hand, along with another man I could not recognize. They were all exactly how I had pictured them and yet, more beautiful. Edward was like an angel like Robert Pattinson, Bella a goddess-like Kristen Stewart, and Alice the most beautiful Ashley Greene someone could imagine. The fourth vampire in the line took the appearance of Gaspard Ulliel but much more handsome. (Yes it IS possible.) Bella's gold eyes warned us that she had changed.

Edward was the first to stop, halting the line of vampires. Both Edward and the other male were frowning while Bella had on a tortured face. Alice had on no emotion; she had not seen this coming.

I stared at their faces; so similar, so different-as Bella or Stephenie would describe. I had always wanted to meet Alice. Though I was not the biggest shopper, Alice was one of my favorite characters because she brought hope. She showed up exactly when you needed her; a smile on her face.

I took two cautious steps toward the clan. I was mesmerized by the fact that they were so close; my dreams in front of me. Before I could take a third step Jacob stopped me. I would have kept going if Jacob was not so strong. He gripped my arm silently; restraining me.

Edward, being the courteous one, plastered on a smile and greeted us. "Nice to see you again, Quil…. and Jacob. Who is this?" he asked, looking at me. I am sure he could have smelled me, far before I could see him and probably heard that very thought.

Jacob, who still had a grip on my arm, wrenched me behind him. Edward, and everyone else, raised a brow at this, even me. I still did not understand why I could not speak to them, especially after the alliance in Eclipse.

I opened my mouth to speak, though I could not think of what to say. I guess it did not matter because nothing came out. All air had left me, for though Edward, Alice, and Bella were looking at Jacob, the mysterious man was starring right into my wide, blue eyes. Is eyes were a soft brown, suggesting that the boy had not feasted in days but was under control.

A growl erupted from Jacob. I heard the enraged snarl but did not move or look away. The nameless boy stood as unmoving as marble.

Edward suddenly turned away from Jacob and toward what must have been his newest brother, giving him a warning look. He spoke much too softly for me to hear.

"What is he thinking," asked Jacob, who must have heard part of the quiet conversation.

The unknown vampire finally released me to glare at Jacob. "Why should he tell you, dog?!"

"Calm down Colton," Edward commanded. Then he focused on Jacob. "Keep her away from him, d… Jacob. He is not safe."

Jacob tightened his already cutting grip on my arm but kept his eyes on the boy named Colton. "What do you mean? Is he not like you?" Jacob wondered under his breath in the hopes that I would not hear.

"He is new," Edward said loud enough for me to hear, but it was what he said in a hushed whisper that widened Jacob's eyes.

"Let's go." Jacob turned around and kept me in front of him, shielding me.

"Wait!" I called out. I was amazed at how loud my voice could be. Jacob looked down at me startled and even angry. I lowered my voice so that no one would hear, though I knew everyone could. "I've always wanted to hand out with Alice."

Jacob frowned at me in horror and shock. He tried to fight the imprinting law within him. "But…"

Alice was smiling because, despite my attempt to hush my words, she had of course, picked up every word. "Oh come on Jacob, I won't hurt her." Alice smiled the well known smile that would frighten any normal human. By now you should have figured out that I did not fit in the "Normal" category.

Jacob shot a quick glare at her before looking at me and pleading with me not to ask this of him. I did not have a chance to feel sorry because someone else spoke.

"Jake," Bella began but was stopped short by the pained look on his face. It was the first time Bella had spoken and it looked like it harmed her to do so. Her voice was beautiful and clear but it was also sorrowful and cautious.

The look Jacob gave his lost friend could not be called shock; it was much, much more. Fury, loss, love, loathing, question, it was all there. I could have wasted my entire life looking at Jacob Black's face, trying to depict every emotion and never finished. He ground his teeth and pointed daggers at Bella who flinched at pain that was not physical and decided not to continue with whatever she was going to say.

"What about your safety?" Jacob asked roughly.

It was Edward who answered. "As long as she keeps her distance from Colton, she will be out of harms way. Alice can take her shopping far from Danger." Edward had not question in his voice, which proved to me that this was not a suggestion but the plan. Alice and I grinned.

I ran with wolves. I ran with vampires. I was the only one to do so, for Bella before me was no longer human.
