During Edward's absence Victoria had come back for Bella, but her close friendship, or dependence on Jacob, kept her safe. And while the frail, useless, human Bella stayed home and did nothing, Jacob and the other wolves from La Push went after Victoria.
One day Jacob followed Victoria so far that he had passed the Canadian border. Although he was sure he had lost her he kept going. He ran past hundreds and hundreds of trees and then suddenly he came up to a road. He decided to shape shift back into a human. He stood in the small clearing for a moment, and let the cool Canadian breeze touch every part of his sweaty and sticky body before putting his shorts on. He decided to walk down the road and see where it would lead him to.
He walked for quite a while before coming upon a small village. He walked around the town in hope that someone would spare him some water or food, but it was starting to get dark out and no one was outside. He walked for bit longer and turned right on one of the streets. He someone walking at the end of the street, suddenly the wind swept the person's scent over to Jacob. It wasn't a human, he could smell the revolting, sweet smell of a vampire. He instinctively bent over and prepared himself to charge. He started running and within seconds he reached the vampire.
"Stop." said the vampire.
"What?"
"Stop Jacob, it's me."
"Edward?" Suddenly Jacob felt the vampire wrap it's arms around him. Jacob started to freak out and pull away but the vampire's sweet breathe calmed his senses and Jacob stopped. "What are you doing here?"
"What? What are you doing here?"
"Well, I was trying to find Victoria." Jacob answered, finally able to catch his breath. "I followed her all the way here."
"Victoria is back?" Edward asked. Jacob nodded. "Holy shit. What are we going to do?" Jacob shrugged. Jacob's stomach grumbled. He was very hungry, specially after a whole afternoon of chasing Victoria. Edward asked Jacob to come over to his hide out, and Jake accepted, hopeful to receive food.
They walked a for a few minutes around a few blocks until they came upon an old abandoned looking house, but on the inside Jacob found a well furnished lively home. Everything was upholstered in magnificent red material and a log burned in the fire place. The house's ambiance gave off an eerie feeling, but Jacob remembered that a vampire lived here.
"Here's a guest room, you can sleep here." Edward opened a door to a large room. The bed in the corner had four long bed posts with curtains hanging from the top.
"Where are you sleeping?" Jacob asked.
"Vampires don't sleep."
"Right." Jacob recalled having this conversation with Bella a few months back.
"Alright so, if you want food I've got some downstairs."
