this is SUPER SHORT, but its like a little intro into the next couple of chapters(:


"So what do we do now?" I said with a frustrated sigh. Jacob just paced back and forth, running his hand through his hair. Apparently, we were in Canada.

"I…I don't know." He said, stopping to look at me.

I groaned and kicked a rock that was beside my foot.

"Well we can't just live in the forest. Well, I can't."

He let out a frustrated sigh, "I know that."

"And we can't just eat leaves…"

"I'm gonna figure this out, okay? I'm going to take care of you." He said, plopping down on the forest floor and resting his forehead in his palms.

"You don't have to take care of me." I mumbled sitting down next him, he looked up at me, "We are in this together." He gave me a small smile and placed hishead back in his palms.

"But we are going to have go back you know…" I said standing and brushing off my pants, "I'm gonna at least need my debit card and hoodie."
He let out a chuckle and stood as well.


"YOU ARE WHAT?"

"Shut the fuck up Matt." I hissed at him, throwing multiple shirts and jeans into a duffel bag.

"Mom and Dad are going to kill you… KILL YOU."

"I know that Matt."

"And Sam…oh Sam is going to flip his shit!"

"I know that Matt."

"Don't forget about Embry-"

"I KNOW MATT!" I finally yelled throwing my stuff out the window to an awaiting Jacob.

"I thought you hated all this fairytale bullshit. Yet here you are, running away with it." he muttered, sitting down on my bed and looking at his hands.

"Its time I figure out my own fairytale." I said, squatting down in front of him. "I'll have my cell phone. Call me when you want to talk. And I mean only you, not

mom and dad. No speaker phone. Okay?"

He sighed and nodded, "How long are you going to be gone?"

"I'm not sure, Matty. But I'll come back, okay. I promise."

"I'm gonna miss you, Mack!" he cried, pulling me into him. Why did it feel like he was saying goodbye to me for the last time?

"I'm coming back, okay. I'm coming back." I whispered, trying not to cry as well. I torn away from him and through my leg over my window seal, not letting him say another thing. At this point, I was just ready to stay.

But I knew I had to do this.

It was my turn to determine my life.

Not some damn fairytale.

With one last glance at my broken little brother, I jumped out the window and into Jacob Black's waiting arms.
