Truth of Lies
Jacob Black: On the run
Chapter Five
Jacob's heart was pounding, he had been running for two days straight. His muscles ached and screamed at him to stop running. Thankfully, Xander was able to sleep most of the time and no fuss was coming from the little vampire. But, Jacob could almost sense the child's worry and longing for his little brother. Xander was being so strong and so brave to put up with traveling to help find his brother. He turned his eyes to the sky, it was cloudy, but still morning. Time for the little boy's breakfast. At least the boy could eat human food unlike his mother.
Jacob and Seth stopped running and shifted back, pulling on their clothes before Jacob scooped up Xander in his arms and went to a diner. They were seated and a highchair was brought over for Xander. They ordered their food and sat in silence for a moment before Seth spoke up. "Should we have told Edward we were taking Xander?" he asked in a soft voice, fingering a pack of sugar.
Jacob shook his head. "No, he would not have let me bring Xander. He would believe it to be unsafe and very much not like what a responsible parent would do…" He lowered his voice as their drinks arrived. His hands wrapped around his cup and his eyes met Seth's. "And I don't trust Aro. I don't care how much Carlisle and Edward seems to. I do not trust him. And Edward should know I would never let anything happen to Xander but…" He glanced at his son who was mashing his banana pieces with his spoon and giggling all the while. "But I really think the best hope we have of finding Conan…is through Xander."
Seth nodded, eating quietly. "Then I guess we should hurry up and find that little boy of yours." They finished quickly, and Jacob paid for the food. They left the diner and went back into the woods. Seth held Xander until Jacob had the harness on and was back in his wolf form. Seth put Xander back in the harness and shifted himself. Then, they were off running.
The Cullen Residence
Aro pressed the phone to his ear, holding up a hand to stop the on slot of questions coming from the Cullen family. They all were worried, yes he understood that, but this call was of great importance to Aro. Aro listened to what the person on the other end of the line, before muttering a quick reply. He hung up and looked back up at them. "We will find your son. I promise you all that. I will do everything in my power to make sure you get the little boy back."
There was sadness in Edward's eyes at Aro's words, but the older vampire paid it no mind. There was no point to. As far as Aro was concerned they'd be lucky to find the baby alive, it had already been a couple of days. Most of the time, when a child vanishes they don't make it past the first couple of days. But perhaps the Cullen baby was strong than everyone thought. Or maybe he was just a baby.
