Title: If it Looks like a Wolf, Smells like a Wolf, Then it's a Wolf

Chapter 17- Sara's POV

The morning was bright and sunny which was painfully burning my delicate eyes. Seth had offered again to let me stay at his house but I denied knowing that I wouldn't be sleeping like he would be. I told him I was going to go hunting for some deer the whole night. He wrinkled his nose in disgust and nodded. I didn't expect myself to be so blunt about me hunting but it just came out.

Throughout the night I went up north to catch some deer and hopefully anything more of the carnivore variety. Even with much delay and slow hunting the night was still young and I was left with nothing to do. I decided to go back to Seth's neighborhood. I got his scent and found his house in less then a few minutes. I crept around the house and found his window which viewed into his room.

"This isn't creepy.." I said to myself sarcastically. I tiptoed and got a better view of the room. Seth was lying on his bed, arms and legs spread all over the place. I heard his snore from all the way outside; and his window was closed too. Seth looked more docile and adorable while he slept. His room was a bit small for his size though.

A small smile formed on my face but suddenly my ears twitched a little and a shadow caught my attention. I shot my head to the side and something walking around Seth's house. I backed myself to the wall of the house and side stepped to the corner and then poked my head around.

"Oh, it's just you" I breathed, seeing Jacob's bronzy body appear without a shirt as per usual.

Jacob half smiled, "I was wondering who was stalking Seth"

I crossed my arms and turned the other cheek, "I am not! I was just bored so I—"

"Decided to stalk him?" Jacob concluded my sentence.

I turned to him and narrowed my eyes. Jacob lightened up and grinned at me, and seeing his smile I knew I couldn't stay grouchy at him. I relaxed my stature and threw him a defeated smile.

"Come with me" Jacob said, motioning me to follow. He took a head start and raced towards the forest; I stood dumbfounded for a second and then reached right behind him. He came to halt quickly which made me jerk forward and almost made me lose my balance. I stood up straight and scanned where we were; there was a huge lake and Jacob was walking closer to it.

"Is this where you get in your zone" I said with a hand motion, my attempt to tease Jacob, but he seemed concentrated on the lake water. He crouched down near the high grass and dipped his hand into the calm tranquil water. Jacob seemed to get calmer when he was here; I didn't know him long and well but I could tell he had a lot on his shoulders. Next to Sam, the leader as Seth had put it, Jacob was a great deal of importance to the pack.

"This place is peaceful" I said after a minute of silence since he hadn't responded. I walked closer to Jacob and crouched beside him and watched what he was doing. His hand swished back and forth softly in the water. It was a calming sensation that swept through me but then I stood up straight, "So why'd you bring me here?" I asked abruptly.

Jacob turned his head towards me and grinned, "So you'd stop stalking Seth". I grumbled under my breath and turned the other cheek unhappily. Somehow whenever he teased me it always had an effect but no insults or remarks seemed to faze him.

"And" Jacob added suddenly, "My shift is now so I thought I'd bring you along since you probably have nothing to do." He said as he stood up from his crouching position.

"Well…" I thought for a second and then sighed, "You thought right" I furrowed my brows for a second, not liking the idea that he was right.

"You could be like my assistant" He smirked.

"I like partner better" I threw him a sarcastic smile.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night—oh wait you can't" Jacob made a fake caring expression and nudged me a little as he walked passed.

"I could be doing other things. I am friends with the Cullens. I could just go visit them" I crossed my arms, "I do have a life, ya know"

"That's kind of ironic isn't it?" Jacob chuckled and stared at me with his now glowing brown eyes. I tried to stay in a stern mood with him but I couldn't help but twitch a smile on my lips. "Your not so bad to hang around here I guess" Jacob stated, putting his hands in his pockets and shrugging his shoulders up. "I mean most of the Quileutes don't really approve but Sam thinks it's all right so.."

"You guys are all right too. Except for the smell" I wanted to stay on good terms with him but that one just slipped.

"You're not that pleasing for us either. Seth doesn't mind it the least though apparently" Jacob shook his head and smiled, "You should've heard his pleads to letting you stay on our land"

"Seth's a good kid" I nodded.

"Yes, he is" Jacob agreed, "And he is…just a kid"

I narrowed my eyes and titled my head to the side, "I know…"

"I know you know, but I just wanted you to be sure about it" Jacob exclaimed as he began to walk down the path of the peaceful area.

I ran up to catch up to him, "What are you trying to say?" I continued.

"Just forget it" Jacob grunted, wanting to end the conversation. I growled under my breath and saw the sun begin to rise slowly.

"Jacob, don't ignore me!" I grunted. Jacob continued walking and ignoring me. I leaped in the air and plopped on his shadow and glared at him. He stopped abruptly and I heard a rumbling growl sound in his chest. Now that I had him still I felt like I had better control of him. "You thought I was going to have some affair with Seth didn't you?"

"Why can't you just drop it?" Jacob grumbled.

"Because!" I exclaimed. I didn't have a good response so I just crossed my arms and continued to glare at him.

"Can you get off" Jacob sighed roughly, not sounding happy at all.

"Why aren't you ever happy either? Never had a lady wolf sweep you off your feet before?" I joked, trying to lighten the situation even though I had initiated it.

Jacob bent his head low to the point where I couldn't even see his face anymore and then suddenly he let out a menacing snarl which I found unusual in this circumstance. Without realizing I had stepped backwards, releasing him from my hold. Jacob felt less pressure and knew that I had let him go. Without even turning around, Jacob sprinted deeper down the path.

*****

I just stared astonished by his action and watched until he was out of sight. I turned my head side to side to look around my surroundings; the forest seemed to get eerie once I was alone. I wrapped my arms around my body and walked back to Seth's house. I took my time walking back; hoping Seth would wake up by now. I stopped when something seemed not right or heard something strange but that didn't happen much.

As I approached Seth's place a teenage girl, maybe around my age was walking down the front steps to his house. I assumed it was his sister or something; too young to be his mother. She spotted me and threw me the dirtiest look I've probably ever gotten. I furrowed my eyebrows in surprise and cocked my head back. Suddenly, as if she had just changed her mind, she began walking towards me.

I braced myself and continued walking as if I hadn't seen her, even though my eyes were glued on her every move. This girl was a bit tall, probably around my height too. She had dark hair and skin just like any other person in the reservation but she shared a familiar resemblance to Seth.

"Hey you" The girl called out to get my attention, despite the fact that I had been staring at her the whole time. "I want to talk to you" she fumed. I didn't respond to her I just continued walking until she cut the distance between us and ran towards me to get closer.

"I think it's about time you went away" The girl said in a bitchy attitude. "We don't need you around here"

I sighed and rolled my eyes, "I'm not staying because I think your tribe needs me" I stated. My luring voice seemed to throw her off guard.

"Then why are you here? Are you planning something so one day you can kill us?" She snapped.

"No…" I said, raising an eyebrow. "Seth invited me to stay. And the pack likes me so.."

"Pfft..the pack. Not the entire pack likes you" She crossed her arms.

"How would you know?" I looked her up and down. Just the expression on my face on how I looked at her seemed to insult her.

"Because I'm part of the pack" she growled. My eyes widened slightly at the thought of this girl being part of that ferocious huge werewolf pack. Before I could talk she interrupted, "Jacob especially wants you gone"

"J-Jacob? No, me and him are getting on good terms" I said, my confidence seemed to be breaking.

"That's not what he was thinking" She said, tapping the side of her head with her index finger. I forgot Seth had explained to me that werewolves could communicate through their minds. Did Jacob really say he wanted me gone?

"I—Uhm—But—" I stuttered. An impish smile formed on the girl's face as she noticed my stature begin to shatter.

"So why don't you run along to your bloodsucker friends…if you even have any" she spat, dusting her hand in the air to shoo me away.

"I do" I snapped. I narrowed my eyes and clutched my fists. It took all that I had in me not to pounce on her and just punch her in the jaw.

"I'm surprised" She said, putting her hand to her chest in fake astonishment. "Since you're a traitor to your own kind and all"

"Take…that back" I seethed.

"What? Did you not get along with other bloodsuckers? Ha! Killing a vampire just to be good with the wolves. How does it feel to not even have the wolves like you either?" She snickered.

Without any warning my eyes turned red and my hypnosis was getting the better of me. Once realizing what I was doing I shut my eyes tight and tried my best to erase this girl's words.

"Traitor" The girl said slowly and firmly. I flashed open my eyes to see the girl smiling a spiteful smile at me. In a blink of an eye my face only inches away from hers. She flinched slightly but stayed put.

"I dare you to say that again" I growled, not moving my face.

"Trai—" But before she finished the word she brought her arms back and the shoved me back. "—tor"

I snarled, my teeth baring out a bit. She didn't seem scared in the slightest, which got me even more upset. I thought I was about to lose it. I walked back to her but before I could be inches away she crouched down and transformed into her werewolf self. I felt a bit better once she transformed, because now I could actually hurt her without holding much back.

She took the first move and pounced on me, taking the upper hand. I turned my head and raised it a little and bit a chunk of her leg. She whimpered loudly and rose her upper legs in the air. I took my chance and threw her off of me and punched her in the stomach. I heard another whimper come out of her mouth, which wrongly put a smile on my face.

As she sunk to the ground, I just stared at her. I felt no pity but I did feel like if I continued things would get ugly. She was up for a fight, but I wasn't sure how much she could put up. I huffed through my nose and walked over her and continued walking down to Seth's house.

I sensed that she had gotten back up but suddenly I felt a heavy figure pounce behind me and pin me face down on the ground. The girl grabbed a chunk of my long chocolate hair and started to yank with some force. My head lifted from the ground and was pulled back. My neck was beginning to crack. I groaned and pulled my head back. Suddenly I heard a tearing sound and in a second my head banged right back to the ground.

My eyes widened and I sat up hurriedly. With a shaky hand I felt the top of my head, feeling my silky brown hair and then slowly ran my fingers down. And to my correct assumption, I was missing about half of my hair. I frantically began brushing my fingers through my shortened mangled hair. As I retracted my hand away from my hair I saw a trail of dog drool stretch from my head to my head. I internally gagged and then shook off the drool.

I turned to the werewolf. With one deep breath I stood up and just knocked her into the ground. I put my hand under her muzzle and began to push upward. She started to struggle and wiggle around but I had her pinned firmly on the ground, suffocating her. With every thought about my hair and the words she spoke to me I pushed down harder. Drool from my hair slowly dripped from my dangling short hair to the wolf's fur. Suddenly I felt teeth dig into my skin but then let go and grab onto the back of my shirt. I got lifted in the air, dangling right above the girl wolf and then dropped beside her. I looked up and saw the russet colored wolf glower at me.

I knew it was Jacob and I knew he didn't like me so I knew that this was going to become a two on one fight. Suddenly he shifted his head to the girl and growled threateningly at her. The girl wolf slowly got up and made a grunting noise. She turned to look at me and bared out her teeth slightly but then turned around and jolted into the woods.

I narrowed my eyes and rose an eyebrow in confusion. I turned to look at Jacob who was staring off in the direction the girl had gone too. He looked back at me abruptly and then dashed towards the direction the she-wolf.

*****

I just sat still thinking about what had just happened. I slowly ran my fingers down my damaged-drooled hair again and then saw someone running towards me. I squinted my eyes and saw Seth sprinting in my direction; a worried expression on his face. He looked like he had just gotten out of bed; his hair was a mess and was pointing out in different directions and he was wearing pajama pants and no shirt on.

Once he reached me, he just stared flabbergasted at my new hair, "I'm so sorry about Leah!" he panted.

"That's the witch's name?" I scowled.

"She's my sister. I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner. I just woke up and heard a noise coming from outside. I looked out my window and saw Leah mounting on top of you!" Seth exclaimed.

"It's all right. I'm fine. Jacob came and separated us" I sighed and stood up. We were quiet for a minute; I was staring off passed him, my eyes stayed narrowed and burning with flames, while his jumped from my face back to the grass.

"You look like you could use a shower….and some conditioner" Seth's voice quietly spoke up. I turned to look down at him and saw a small grin on his face. His smile somehow reminded me of Jacob's smile, which made me want to continue scowling, but seeing Seth's happy-go-lucky face, I couldn't stay in a bad mood for long.

"Do you happen to have a bathroom to spare?" I asked with pleading eyes.

Seth grinned, "For you? Anytime" He put his hand on the small of my back and led me back towards his house. I felt a bit awkward with this young boy and how comfortable he felt with me, so jokingly I pushed him to the side and jogged a little ahead.

"Race you" I called. Seth smirked and took off, getting a head start. After more then enough time I stepped up my game and dashed right past him. I jumped on his front porch rather roughly, causing it shake a bit. "Whoops" I mumbled.

After a few seconds Seth got to the front porch. "That's not far. If I was in my werewolf form I would've so beat you" he said, leaning against the stairs and panting a bit.

"We'll race again then" I shrugged and patted his shoulder. He looked up at me and shoved my arm away playfully and smirked. He stood up straight and jogged up the front steps of his porch and opened the screen door to his house.

"Is anyone home?" I whispered as I walked beside him.

Seth bit his bottom lip and raised an eyebrow, "Don't think so. I mean Mom left early this morning to meet up with Jacob's dad and Leah as you know wandered off somewhere" Seth explained.

His house was a small place. He had a foyer, a living room, a kitchen and if you keep walking down the hallway there are four rooms at the end. Seth entered the first room to the left, which just so happened to be his room, and went straight for his closet where he was digging for something. I leaned against his doorframe and examined his room. It looked the same from the inside then it did from out his window; cramped. His walls were painted a dark blue and he had a small closet, dresser, and bed.

I sighed and turned my head to the room across from his which the door was opened ajar. I turned back to Seth again who was too distracted in his ambition to find whatever it was in his closest, so I quietly stepped away from his room and opened the door across from his room a little wider.

I looked around the room and noticed the small white walls with posters taped all over them. A bed with raggedy white sheets was on one side of the wall and an old light wooden dresser was adjacent to that. A length view mirror was placed next to the dresser along with a small wooden desk and chair. I was about to step out of the room when something caught my eye on the small desk.

Leah & Sam Uley Forever

10.23.02

"This is Leah's room?" I breathed as the small desk began to pull me to it. I looked closer and saw the poor maintained handmade card on the side of a red folder. I picked it up and examined the white paper and the colorful lettering. I made a clicking sound with my tongue and decided to take a peek. I opened the card and saw chicken scratch that was actually handwriting.

Leah, Happy Birthday my love. We made it two years together and I couldn't be any happier. I knew the first time that we met when we were little kids that you and I would be together one day. I hope that you have a special birthday and I wish you and your family the best. I love you. -Sam

I read the card over once more and I felt a bit of envy and happiness for her. She has a boyfriend of her own and they are in love. And checking from the date they've been together for three more years. A small smile spread on my face, but as if something from above made it fate that Leah and I would never be civil to each other, a trail of drool spilled on my shoulder. I shivered in disgust and wiped the drool with the card. I smirked and looked at the wet stained card.

I turned the card to the front page and read the names of Leah and her boyfriend with their date again, "Aw how cute" I muttered sarcastically and tossed the card back on her desk. I was about to step away and go back to Seth, who was taking way too long in his closest, when I noticed the words 'Keep Out' in big marker letters on the front of the red folder.

"Hmm" I grabbed the folder and flipped it open. It had stacks of loose-leaf paper inside the pockets. I skimmed through the first one and saw the words, 'Dear Diary'.

Revenge.

A devious smile twisted on my face. I bit my bottom lip and slowly began taking out the first sheet of loose leaf when I heard Seth's husky sigh and his footsteps leaving his room. Shit!

I shoved the paper back in the pocket of the folder and placed it back on the desk and swerved around in a frantic motion, when Seth had sauntered in.

"Sara! You can't be in here! Leah would freak if she found you in—" Seth exclaimed.

"Yeah yeah. I get it" I interrupted as I paced passed him and out of the room. I walked back in his room and sat on the tip of his bed. "So what were you looking for?" I asked nodding towards the closest.

"A towel for you" Seth said as he picked up a yellow towel from his dresser and tossed it to me.

"Aw thanks bud" I smiled up at him. "So where's your shower?"

*****

As I let the faucet shoot me with warm water droplets, I thought about how our kind never took showers. Back when I lived with Despina and Missy none of us really ever went in the bathroom. I smiled to myself as I dipped my hand in and out of the spraying water.

I sighed as I brushed my fingers through my now damaged hair. I thought about how much I wouldn't mind clawing Leah's eyes out in return. But to take my mind off of the wicked witch, I dunked my head in the water and began to scrub hard. I looked around and found shampoo on the ledge of the shower and put a handful on the palm of my hand and then scrubbed it into my hair. I could already feel the shortness of my hair.

"Ugh I hope that mutt chokes on the hair that she ripped out" I growled, scrubbing my scalp harder and harder.

After rinsing and conditioning, for the hell of it I washed my self all over; sliding the bar of blue soap on my arms and legs. It felt like an old past time having to do this. After I was clean and soapless I grabbed the yellow towel that hung on the railing of the shower and wrapped myself.

I stepped out carefully and looked at myself in the mirror. My once long wavy brunette hair that reached below my chest was now a little below my shoulder. I hung my head low in disappointment but then I sighed and dried myself off.

"Crap where are my clothes!?" I muttered as I frantically checked around the bathroom hoping that somehow I just misplaced it and it would show up. I stopped checking once realizing that I had changed out of my clothes in Seth's room while he went to the kitchen to eat breakfast and ran into the bathroom with the towel wrapped around.

I hung my head low and stuck it out of the bathroom, checking to see if Seth was around and, hoping he wouldn't pop up out of nowhere. Once the coast was clear, I tiptoed down the hall and grinned in victory, seeing that Seth wasn't around. I jumped into his room and then slammed the door shut.

"Uhm—" A voice sounded behind me.

My eyes widened and I slowly turned around and saw Seth on the floor with a pile of clothes in front of him, and out of all people; Jacob, who was lying on Seth's bed, arms behind his head.

Before I could say one word Seth burst out laughing. His laugh echoed throughout the whole house and I thought that my ears, my vampire ears, were ringing.

"Geez Seth" I cringed. If blood was existent in my body it would be rushing right to my cheeks. I would be blushing like a bastard if things weren't like how they were.

Soon Jacob joined in Seth in the laughter. "GET OUT OF THE ROOM!" I shouted, tired of being the laughing stock.

"This is my room!" Seth retorted in between in his laughter. I growled and searched his room for my clothes and my sandals. I found them on the top of his dresser and swiped them and dashed out of his room and back into the bathroom.

I got dressed fast and walked down the hallway hurriedly. "Do you have more then a towel on this time?" Seth called out as he heard me walking down the hallway. I tossed his towel in his room and continued walking down the hall and towards the front door.

"Where are you going?!" Seth shouted as he noticed me walking away. I ignored him and shook the idea out of my head that he was just playing around and didn't mean to laugh at me to be mean.

I slammed the screen door shut and jogged down the steps. I stood in front of Seth's house, still deciding where I should go now. I stretched my arms in the air and thought quickly. Suddenly the screen door behind me creaked open and slammed shut.

"Go away Seth" I grumbled

I heard soft stutters behind me and then a sigh, "It's Jacob"

I twirled around and saw Jacob standing on the porch. "Oh. Well I'm mad at you too" I narrowed my eyes.

"It was childish but you got to admit that was hilarious" Jacob grinned.

"Me walking, just in a towel, into a room with two immature boys? No!" I screeched.

Jacob chuckled and stepped down the steps slowly, "You shouldn't be talking Miss-I-Need-To-Make-A-Dramatic-Exit"

I growled internally and saw Jacob's broad smile grow wider. I shook my head and tried to stop my lips that were twitching to laugh. I pretended to cough so my grin wouldn't be too noticeable.

"Does that mean I'm forgiven?" Jacob asked, throwing me another playful grin.

"I don't know" I said, crossing my arms. "You need to prove yourself"

"You're kidding…" Jacob said, leaving his mouth slightly open in awe.

"Yes you—" I began

"The real reason I actually came was to see if you were okay with the incident with Leah earlier" Jacob interrupted. Just when I had forgotten about that witch, big shot here had to bring her up.

"I'm fine" I snapped defensively.

"Oh-kay" Jacob mouthed, making the word into two syllables. There was an awkward silence between us, then he let out a soft chuckle, "Your hair looks nice shorter"

I sighed roughly and turned away from Jacob. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming from the house and onto the porch.

"'Sup guys" Seth said as he jogged down the steps from his porch. He looked at me with a devilish grin and I knew what was coming. "I must say Sara, I think I prefer you better in just a towel"

"You pig" I smacked Seth on the arm which just made him grin wider.

"I have my shift right now. Sara, do you wanna come along?" Seth asked, jogging in place.

"I—uh—" I really didn't want to go running around the forest anymore for stray vampires. I had my share of the hunt for one life time.

"I already asked her to come with me somewhere else" Jacob answered. Seth and I both whipped our head at Jacob. Jacob took a few steps forward until he was standing next to me, "Unless you want to go running around for a couple of hours in boredom" He mumbled under his breath.

I stiffened up and laughed nervously at Seth, "Yeah, sorry Seth, since this morning Jacob told me he wanted to show me…uhm..this…u-uhm" I was trying to think up a plausible lie. I looked up at Jacob as I was stuttering.

"Thing" Jacob and I said in unison and nodded at Seth.

Seth raised an eyebrow, "Okay?" He let out a chuckle, "See you later weirdos" And before I could snap back at him he swiftly turned around and raced towards the forest.

I watched as Seth sprinted away and in a mid-dive morphed into a huge wolf, "Hmph" I protested to Seth's response.

"C'mon" Jacob stated before he trotted ahead to a red beat up truck just on the road path.

"What? Wait, where are we going?" I asked confused.

"To show you the thing" Jacob smiled and motioned me to follow.

"So now there's a thing?" I whispered to myself and ran to catch up to him.

****

Jacob brought me to a deserted plain where I swear I thought I saw tumbleweed blowing by. We got out of the car and I watched as Jacob walked out ahead to the edge of a cliff.

"So what now?" I asked, a bit bummed that nothing interesting was up here. Jacob waved for me to come closer. I sighed and trotted up next to him. He held onto my wrist and pulled me so that we were at the very edge of the cliff.

"Pretty" I nodded and then looked around from side to side awkwardly. This was a nice view and all but I think I'd have more fun running around in circles with Seth in the forest.

Suddenly Jacob began to strip from his black tee-shirt and jeans. "What are you doing?!" I raised my voice and tried to take my eyes off his muscles.

"We're going cliff diving" Jacob grinned

I was beginning to fall end over heels with his smile. It was contagious. But on the downside something about his smile reminded me of Giacomo. They had that same goofy grin. I shook my head, trying to look away from the bulging muscled werewolf and stop thinking of my unforgettable past. Once the words 'cliff diving' registered in my head I blinked wildly, "W-What?"

"You're not scared are you?" Jacob tested me.

I rose my nose at him and gulped out of habit, which happened when I was nervous. Hey, I'm already dead right? So I can't really get hurt or die again. I took in a deep breath and turned back to Jacob who was waiting for an answer.

I turned back too look straight into the ocean, leaving Jacob to continue to stare at me. After some consideration I started to unbuckle my gladiator shoes and then I began to slide out of my skinny jeans. I looked down to make sure my red boy shorts weren't coming down too. I kicked my jeans to the side and then began to pull on my Peace Printed Raglan Sweater. I got it over my head and then I tossed it next to my jeans. I stared down at myself; I was barefoot with my black sports bra and red boy shorts…how appropriate.

"Let's do this" Jacob said, getting pumped. I closed my eyes and I could already hear his heart begin to pick up pace. "Okay so this is what you need to remember" Jacob began. I opened my eyes and turned to him.

"Jump as far as you can away from the cliff and just dive in" Jacob explained, stretching his arms in the air. I nodded in acknowledgement. I slowly went on my knees and then held onto the very edge of the cliff and looked down into the ocean. "Do you want to jump together, chicken?" Jacob asked, seeing how I was a bit nervous.

I shouldn't be nervous at all. I'm not going to get hurt. But I don't fancy jumping off of cliffs for fun.

I looked up at him and nodded. Jacob held out his hand to help me up. Somehow things were getting oddly weird with him. I didn't understand what was his change of mood. I grabbed onto his hand and he didn't react to the frostiness of my skin. I came shooting up from the ground with one yank from him.

"Ready?" Jacob asked as he cracked his knuckles. I sighed and just stared into the ocean. "1" Jacob counted and turned to me to see if I was prepared.

"2" I replied.

"3!"

Jacob quickly grabbed onto my hand, as if he didn't believe that I wasn't going to jump too. At first the nice breeze down was pleasant but then I saw how the waves crashed onto one another. I let out a long yelp before dunking into the thrashing water.

Things went dark for a second. Mostly because I had closed my eyes. The benefit of all this was that I didn't need to hold my breath underwater. I felt myself sink deeper in the ocean but I didn't mind since I knew I wouldn't be in any risk or danger.

Then suddenly I felt someone grab onto my arms rashly and jerk me upward. I flashed open my eyes and narrowed them at the victim. I saw Jacob's husky body from behind heaving me to the surface. I didn't struggle from his grasp; I just let him pull me. Once we reached the surface I wrenched my arm away from him.

"What're you doing?" I asked, rubbing where he had grabbed since it was tingling.

"You were drowning, doofus!" Jacob shouted at me as if I was crazy.

"I can breathe under water!" I snapped back at him.

"How?" Jacob questioned, giving me the most disbelieving expression.

"Because" I barked. The waves were beginning to push us back and forth. One wave brought us back under water but we both swam back up. We started to tread water so we could continue the unnecessary conversation.

"Because why?!" Jacob growled. I don't know why he was being so ignorant and wanting to know things that I couldn't explain properly. The only answer I could give him was harder to say then I thought, but I had to spit it out before he kept shouting.

"Because I'm dead" I exclaimed. My voice cracked as I said the last word. Jacob stared at me for a couple of seconds and then he looked down at the water. I took a deep breath and hoped that I hadn't scared him. But did he not realize it was just as hard for me to say as it was hard for him to believe it?

"C'mon" Jacob mumbled as he began to swim back towards shore. I sighed, knowing that this was the end of the fun day. I swam behind him, keeping my distance just to give him space. We got on shore and he began to walk down the beach in a quick pace.

"Jacob. Jacob!" I said as I got out of the water and began sprinting towards him. "What's the matter?"

Jacob stopped walking and took a deep breath. "It just took me off guard" he responded.

"But surely you had to know, right?" I said, shuffling my feet awkwardly.

"I knew it but for awhile I forgot that you were" Jacob said, turning his head towards me. I didn't know what to say so I just smiled sympathetically, still confused why he was taking the fact so hard.

****

We had walked back up the cliff; we were still soaked and our hair dripping on the ground leaving a trail. We sat on the hood of Jacob's trunk, soaking in some sun. Once feeling the sun beamed down on my skin, I looked down and saw the sparkles shimmer. I slowly looked up at Jacob and saw him memorized at my glittering skin. I sighed and turned my head straight ahead, thinking how much of freak he probably thinks I am.

"It's kind of pretty" Jacob said. I let out a soft chuckle and laid down on the hood of the car and closed my eyes.

"So how'd it happen?" Jacob said suddenly.

I furrowed me eyebrows, eyes still closed, wondering what he wanted now, "How did what happen?"

"You know…how did you turn into a vampire?" Jacob cleared up his question. I opened one eye and looked up at him, who staring curiously back at me.

I closed my eye, "Well" I began. I took in a deep breath and blew the air out. I clicked my tongue with the top of my mouth and let out a long 'humm' noise. Then something occurred to me. I flashed my eyes opened and slowly sat back up, bringing my knees to my chest.

I laid my head on my knees and furrowed my brows, "I really don't remember" I said. It was the truth. I didn't remember how I turned into this being. "I think my foster mother Despina turned me into one?" I said, which came out more like a question.

"Oh cool" was all Jacob said. I stared down at my feet, trying to remember something about my human years.

"So how old are you?" Jacob asked.

"What's with the questions?" I said, smirking a little.

"I just want to know more about you" Jacob said, staring ahead of him.

I smiled to myself and sighed, "I'm 18" I nodded but then I froze, "Wait no. 17? Uhm something around there…" I felt embarrassed all of sudden.

"You sure don't know much about yourself either" Jacob teased.

"Shut up" I said, in an emotionless voice. I was amazed at how little I knew about myself. I couldn't believe I hadn't asked Despina these questions. Did something horrible happen to me that we just never brought it up?

"You're older then me" Jacob chuckled.

I turned to him, trying to forget about the revelation I had found about knowing not that much knowledge about myself. "How old are you?"

"16" He responded. "And I'm probably gonna stay 16 for awhile"

I raised a brow, "What? Why?"

"When we're werewolves we don't age. Only if we are experienced enough to not change anymore then we can continue aging." Jacob explained.

"I know how you feel" It came out sadder then funny, which I wanted it to seem. There was a short silence for awhile then I was thinking about something. "Wait, if your whole tribe are werewolves then why are some not werewolves and why are some are? This whole werewolf business is confusing" I exclaimed with a grin.

Jacob laughed, "Well honestly the only reason we turn into werewolves is because there are vampires around"

Jacob continued to chuckle, but I found it more serious. "Wait, so because of me you can't grow up?" I asked, a bit upset.

"Well, I guess you can say that…" Jacob said, furrowing his eyebrows.

"I had no choice to not grow up. I have to stay like this forever. No choices. You though; you have a choice." I exclaimed rather loudly. "I just need to go away and you can age again" I said, getting a bit antsy and sliding down the hood of the car.

"Hey, Hey" Jacob said, grabbing onto my arm and trying to stop me from moving. "Even if you left we would still be wolves because the Cullens are still around. So don't blame this on yourself"

"It's all right. They like me. If I tell them about this situation and just persuade them to leave, they'll leave" I said, shaking his arm off of me and standing myself up on the ground.

"Sara" Jacob said, in a demanding voice. I stopped fidgeting and stared at him. "I don't want you to leave" He exclaimed.

At first I didn't get what he said but slowly I began to register everything. "Wha—What?" I asked, disbelieving.

Jacob slid down the hood of his truck and leaned against it. He grabbed onto my hand and smiled up at me, "Don't go"

My eyes widened. A quick vision of Giacomo sat in Jacob's place. I shook my head and Jacob came back to view. I hadn't said anything in over a minute, just staring at Jacob and his genuine smile confused me enough.

"So is Sara your full name?" Jacob asked, trying to avoid another silence.

"Sarafina Bellanie" I said, a bit out of it. I sat beside him and stared at the ground.

"That's a pretty name" Jacob smiled, "I'll just call you Sarafina all the time now"

I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You'll get tired of saying Sarafina all the time. Sara is quicker to say"

"Nah, I like Sarafina better" Jacob chuckled. I wasn't sure if he was playing around or being serious but I just laughed with him.

"Well, you know…" Jacob exclaimed loudly. "We were never properly introduced"

I nodded in agreement, "Nope. You kind of ran away when we first met"

Jacob rolled his eyes and grinned, "Sarafina Bellanie, I'm Jacob Black" He stuck out his hand.

Something about Jacob now was different. He went from being this aggressive angry creature to this all around friendly person. It was like I had just hit the Twilight Zone. I couldn't complain though. I did like this Jacob better. He made me forget about my diaries, my family, and most important, Giacomo. I wasn't sure how thrilled I was to have Giac in the back of my mind though. I decided not to worry about that now and shook Jacob's hand.

"Nice to meet you"


AN: Aww Jake is being nice to a vampire. You'll soon understand the motives to that. And Seth's hormones are kicking in! Ohboy. haha I feel bad that I made Leah really mean but I just felt that she would react like that to a vampire on her land hehe. Also so things are clear the year this is all taking place is in the year 2005. Which means that Sam and Emily are indeed a couple. That much didn't change. I wonder if Leah is going to get pissed if she finds any of her things misplaced :X hehe.
