Head In The Clouds
[04]
Everyone was lying on the ground completely exhausted. "I am so tired." Quil said. "Hey, where are Seth and Leah?" Embry asked. "Present!" Leah and Seth answered. "Sam it's time to switch patrols." Seth said. "Alright, Alan, Nina, Jacob, you guys have 5 hours." Sam said.
I got up as well as Nina and Jacob. We ran out into the forest and phased. It was the first time that I patrolled in LaPush, but I wasn't completely clueless about patrolling because I used to Patrol our small area in Canada. I took the west perimeter while Jacob took the north and east perimeter and Nina took the south.
Guys I found something come quickly! Nina called. Jacob and I rushed to Nina's side as quick as possible. There, we found 3 humans that were on the verge of dying. Jacob go back and tell the others! Nina demanded. Why me? Jacob asked. Because I said so! Nina growled. Jacob left and Nina and I put the humans on our backs and waited for further orders. Get to Sam's house immediately! Nina, you work on the human's! Jacob ordered. We sprinted off to Sam's house quite quickly.
Once we got to Sam's house, Nina quickly phased back and put on the white, long jacket that Jacob tossed her. She pointed to the 3 tables that were set up in the kitchen and Jacob quickly and carefully took the humans and laid them on the tables.
"I need both of you to get out of here. The smell is going to get pretty bad." Nina shouted. Jacob phased and we went back to our stations. So what is Nina going to do to them? I asked. She's going to save them because Nina I a medical specialist. Jacob answered.
So Nina was a doctor too. How much more perfect can she get? She's kind, smart, nice, funny, beautiful, and a lifesaver. Hey Alan, I don't mean to interrupt, but Nina thinks the same things about you. Jacob said. She keeps wishing for you to make her your imprint, but she's scared at the same time. Jacob added.
She wants…to be my imprint? I asked. Yes, she knew from the very moment that she met you that you were going to make her happy. Jacob answered. But she's already happy. I commented. Not exactly, she doesn't understand the thing that most human's need which is compassion, so when she met you, like I said, she knew you were the one to help her understand that. Jacob replied.
Nina wanted to belong to be. Nina wanted me to show her compassion. Nina wanted me to be with her. Though I didn't know what to do, how could I tell her that I will stay with her while there was a crisis on our hands right now?
Dude, Alan, just tell her. You don't have to hold back, trust me. When I met Alexandra I knew she was the one and she knew I was the one. I didn't hold back on her and imprinted on her. The day she was kidnapped, dragged to Texas, and killed by vampires was the day I absolutely hated myself. I was frustrated and ran to Canada before she was kidnapped and came home too late. Do not let this chance pass you by Alan. Jacob said.
So Jacob's imprint was killed by vampires. I'm so sorry Jacob. Do you think you could ever…? I insisted. Maybe, if I'm lucky. Jacob replied. I couldn't let myself lose it at all now. I had to protect Nina. You guys can come back I'll have Quil and Embry scout. Sam said.
Jacob and I sprinted back to Sam's place. "How are they?" Jacob asked entering the house. "Sorry, but I could only save one of them." Nina answered. I walked into the kitchen and saw a small girl with short reddish-orange hair laying on 1 of the tables and the other 2 were covered by white sheets.
"What's the story?" I asked. "I believe this family was attacked by a vampire." Nina answered. Vampire's again?! "The girl is probably 10 years old. She had 4 broken ribs, a broken left arm, twisted and sprained ankles, and a crack in her skull. She should be awake within 2 days." Nina said.
"What about the other 2?" I asked. "Most likely the girl's parents except their injuries were fatal, the vampire was probably lethal, in other words, a newborn." Both Jacob and I froze.
I saw Jacob start shaking and clench his fist. I managed to move and put my hand on Jacob's shoulder. "Calm down Jacob." I said. "Why? Why must they do this to me?" Jacob whispered through his teeth.
"I'm not sure Jacob, but we need to protect this girl. The newborn might came back." I said. "If he does I'll rip him to shreds." Jacob nearly growled through his teeth.
"It could happen. We need to protect this girl and destroy the newborn. Then we can rest easily." Nina said. Sam came walking in and he looked serious.
"Alan, Jacob, come with me. Nina, stay and watch over the girl." Sam ordered. Jacob, Sam, and I left to go join the rest of the pack.
