" Where the hell is the peanut butter," I yelled out to no one in particular. I woke up the next morning with this huge craving for some peanut butter, which I knew was in here the other day.
" Babe what are you doing," Jacob asked walking into the kitchen. His short hair was spiked sloppily on top of his head and his eyes were swollen from lack of sleep. He went back out last night to patrol with Seth and Embry. That just pissed me off once again, making a tiny rift between us. Of course Jacob found my tantrums amusing, but I was really mad that I was not allowed to patrol. Every time I got angry, I felt guilty and selfish at the same time. I felt the guilt of wanting to go out there and patrol so badly and risking hurting my baby. I didn't really understand the reason why I wanted to patrol so much, that was a question I had a hard time answering at times.
" I am looking for peanut butter. I know I saw some the other day. Fuck!" I bumped my head on the counter as I attempted to raise up. " Why is that there!"
" Well you were in the doors way," Jacob said reaching on the top shelf and getting a jar of peanut butter. " You okay." Jacob rubbed the back of my head as I snatched the peanut butter.
" Yes I guess," I said retrieving a spoon from the drying rack. I dipped into the creamy goodness and stuffed the spoon in my mouth.
Jacob laughed as I tried to talk to him but my mouth was glued shut by the thick peanut butter.
" You should eat that more often," Jacob laughed. I swung at him and he dodged my fist. " No bread or crackers to eat with it."
I shook my head and dipped the spoon back into the peanut butter.
" Here let me help you," Jacob stuck his finger in the peanut butter and held it to my lips.
" Is this your way of getting out of the dog house," I asked eying the peanut butter on his finger.
" Hmmm maybe."
I smirked and place my lips around his finger. I clasped my teeth down and bit down as hard as I could.
" Ouch," Jacob snatched his hand out of my mouth. " What the hell Lee."
" That's for not letting me patrol ass," I laughed a fake evil laugh and Jacob pouted. " Oh that will not work for me."
" I'm sure it will for our kid though," Jacob said hugging me from behind. He planted small kisses down my neck. He made his way back up to my ear and whispered, " Two can play this game." He bit down on my ear and I screeched. He laughed and left me alone with my peanut butter.
An hour later we were headed over to the Cullen's, to check up on some things. I was surprised that Jacob was letting me out the house, he was being so protective these days. I understand his fear of me getting hurt or our child being in harm's way, but he was being just plain crazy now.
" Maybe the Volturi are still after Nessie," I said as Jacob drove to the Cullen's.
" I don't know what the hell is going on, but I will get to the bottom of it," Jacob explained keeping his eyes on the road.
" You should let me help, you can't do this all by yourself Jake. I mean you are being ridiculous with patrolling and you are acting like I am helpless."
" It's not that I don't want you helping, because I would enjoy your company. I just don't want you getting hurt out here, it's too dangerous," Jacob replied.
I sighed loudly and said, " You are going to jinx me with all this 'dangerous talk'. Do you want something to happen to me?"
" Hell no I don't want that, I can't believe you just asked me that Leah. I don't want you out there, end of story." Jacob held the steering wheel tighter and clamped his jaw.
" I'm going to help." I was stubborn and rarely took no for an answer. I knew it was not completely safe out there, but I wanted to help. I hated being left behind while everyone else tried to figure out this mystery.
" Leah," Jacob's voice warned me.
" I'm helping, now it's end of the story," I replied turning my head to look out the window.
" You have to be the most hard headed person I know."
" No you are the hard headed one Jacob Ephraim Black. Just let me patrol and we wouldn't have this argument," I exclaimed. Jacob's nostrils flared and he shook his head. He didn't say anything else for the rest of the ride.
" Thank god you are here, we needed to talk to you," Alice said as she opened the front door. We followed her to the sitting room where Carlisle, Edward, and Bella sat.
" Good you two came by, we got word on the Cherokee pack," Carlisle said shaking Jacob's hand. " How are you Leah?"
" Fine," I said bluntly and sat on a couch far from the leeches. The smell was burning my nose and a nauseas feeling rippled through my body.
" Well Kota is phasing now, one of the Cherokee members gave us that information. He says he is no longer with the pack and wants to join yours," Edward said.
" He's talking about Carl, the one Sam had a confrontation with. So how are you going to get him back from them? What the hell are they doing with the Volturi anyway," I asked rubbing my stomach.
" He is like a guard dog for them or a new edition to their group. He doesn't do anything but go hunt them good humans to eat-" Edward started.
" Woah wait. So Dakota is bringing them humans that they are making a meal? Does Adahy know of this," Jacob asked.
" He is the one who is allowing it. I don't know what is wrong with the son of a bitch. If he shows his face here again, it will be trouble," Bella spat. Ever since she became a vampire, she was extra snappy. She wasn't that sweet, clumsy, make me wanna gag because she is such a good girl Bella anymore. She had a little sassiness about her, sometimes I wanted to kick her ass for it. But now I could understand her anger, I would be pissed if someone took one of my family members to the Volturi. The Volturi were notorious for using people for their needs, they were really close to getting Edward into their cult.
" I thought shape-shifters were against putting humans in danger," Alice said crossing her legs.
" We really don't know much about the Cherokee pack. They are still a mystery to us too. I can go to Old Quil and see if I can get some more information," Jacob stated.
" Ok, that will work. Some of us are going to go to the Volturi and see what's up," Carlisle said.
" You don't find that a little dangerous?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
" We will do whatever it takes to get Kota back. Nessie is an absolute mess," Bella explained. Her gold eyes squinted as she spoke of her depressed daughter.
" Where is everyone anyway," Jacob asked looking around the living room.
" Out hunting. We plan to leave soon to head to Italy," Edward said.
" Well as soon as you get any news, tell us. I want to make sure everything is patrolled well here," Jacob spoke. Edward nodded and we got up to leave. Bella walked over to Jacob and hugged him, she held him tightly and whispered something in his ear. He smiled at her and led me to the door.
" If I see anything in my visions that involve the Volturi, I will make sure to let you know," Alice's chippery voice called out.
" Alright," Jacob yelled as he shut the door behind him. A meeting with the Cullens was never this calm, especially with Bella and I in the same room. I guess we all put our differences behind us when it came to a child that obviously a lot of people cared about. A small pang rattled my chest as I thought of little Dakota.
" You know Leah, I'm proud of you. You didn't say anything smart or think anything disrespectful while you were at the Cullen's," Jacob said turning the corner to his house.
" I try when I want to," I said with a smirk on my face. Jacob reached over for my hand and gave it a light squeeze.
" I love you," he said softly.
I swallowed a lump in my throat. " Love you too." I said. I don't know why I felt so awkward saying that, I don't think I say it enough. It's not that I don't love him, I just get all nervous every time I say it to him.
When we got back to the house my mother was waiting in her car. She literally hopped out when she seen us pull up.
" I have been calling you two forever. Where have you been?" she asked frantically.
" At the Cullen's. What are you so worked up about?" I asked catching her as she nearly knocked me over.
" Everything okay," Jacob asked.
" No, Emily went missing. She was at the hospital but some how she escaped. No one knows where she is as of now. I don't know what is going on, it's too much," my mother held her head.
" Just calm down. We will find her," I said. I looked over at Jacob who was dialing a number on his cell phone.
" Hey Sam…yea I just left there…ok bye," Jacob hung his phone. " There is no trace of the Cherokee pack anywhere. Someone at the hospital said they saw Emily leave with some older man."
" Oh gosh," I threw my hands to the side of my head. " Uncle Lou." I whispered. Emily's father had came back to get her.
So in a previous chapter I said that Emily's father was abusive to her mother. I can't remember which chapter it was but Emily was very upset. So what did her father come back and get her for? Why didn't she tell anyone? How did she disappear with Sam there in the first place? The Cullens are heading off to Italy. Bad? Good? Hope I did not confuse anyone. If you have any questions, PM me. I will try to work on the next chapter tomorrow and make it a long one. I won't promise that it will be extra long, but longer than this one. Reviews are lovely! Thanks for reading!
