CHAPTER 14

It was 2 am in the morning and I was walking to the Room of Requirement though I turned at the last second and headed to the nearest window.

Jacob's POV

I sat by the window thinking about Maddie and how people were saying she and Malfoy were dating. Surly this is a rumor…? I growled under my breath. Wait… Was I jealous? I shook my head. No, that was ridiculous.

Once at the window, I peered out to make sure no one was looking and then jumped. I laughed softly as the wind whipped my hair around my face. I landed on my feet with a soft thud and walked to the forest.

I was just about to get up when I saw something move in the corner of my eye. Maddie? I looked closer and saw that, yes, it was her. I smiled but then jumped up as she fell from the ledge. "NO!" I whispered in shock. But wait, she's a vampire. I chuckled under my breath and watched her land on her feet as though she had only jumped a few inches off the ground. What was she doing out so late? I smirked and left the room.

Once in the forest, I wandered between the trees. It was nice to be vampire every once and a while. The feeling of freedom was nice. I smiled and paused before a tree. My fingers traced along 3 deep gashed in the bark and I frowned but continued.

I followed her scent into the woods but made sure to stay far enough so that she wouldn't hear me. After a couple minutes, I stepped out into a wide meadow though she was no where in sight. Ahead of me was a small cliff with a waterfall. I looked around again for her but still nothing. Then, I heard a 'whoosh' and she landed on my back, her teeth at my neck. "What are you doing out so late, Wolf boy?" She asked in an amused tone. I shivered at the feeling of her cool breath against the back of my neck. I grinned and threw her off. She skidded to a halt a few feet in front of me and grinned, but then frowned. "I've been wanting to try something" She said and I frowned at she stalked up to an eagle sleeping in a tree.

I stalked closer until I was only a few feet away from the eagle and I pounced. The bird screeched and flapped its wings but then stopped as it saw my face. "Hello there Amy" I said and pet her head. She was like my owl. She delivered my letters to my family and back. Though tonight, I wasn't sending a letter. I was showing Jake everything. She hopped up onto my arm and nipped my finger lightly. I smiled but then closed my eyes. It took a lot more concentration to copy an animal.

I gasped as she transformed into an eagle and soared up into the air, leaving her clothes in a pile below her. Making sure I stayed in the shadows of the bright moon, I tried to get a better sight of her as she flew higher. Then all of a sudden, she turned around and dived straight down, back towards the other eagle. Once she was about 20 feet away from the top of the cliff, she turned back into a human, naked, and disappeared. I began to panic but then I heard a splash. So there must be a lake or something up there. She appeared back in my view but she had a towel around her. She had a serious expression on her face as she motioned for me to come up. My legs moved on their own in a robotic way. "I was wondering if I could do the same with your kind to" She said nervously. So that's what the old man meant about her. He told me she could copy people and animals but I didn't understand. He didn't explain very well. He just said make sure I don't ever touch her. What have I done? I asked myself as I turned and ran.
