I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT RENESMEE DID NOT HAPPEN AND JACOB IS WITH ALICE =] (They got over their differences!)
Hey, guys! A big thanks to Knickerbox! (awesome name!) for reviewing, even though you don't yet have an account! And also of course to everybody else who has put this story on Alert or Favourites! Please review though! I like to know how I'm doing! Pleeease! =]
Please remember that all this is happening because they're fast so its taking much longer writing wise but its all happening crazy quick!
Emma could hear their voices calling after her, every one unique, individual pitches, sounds, frequencies. But she barely registered who each one belonged to, all that mattered was getting the warm blood of the boy fleeing the Cullen residence. In the back of her mind she thought that maybe she was severing any small ties she had with the family, maybe she was doing the complete wrong thing here and she should control herself. These people were, after all, willing to help her adjust, but all that mattered was getting to the boy and all that mattered was drinking him dry. Her throat, she realised, ached, burned, lusted after what was rightfully his. Nothing could quell the pain she felt, no pep talks from the Cullens, no medication from Carlisle. Nothing but the blood.
"Emma! You know you will regret this!" She thought it may have been Edwards voice murmured quietly under his breath so no human would be able to hear, said. "I know you know deep inside that this is wrong This is what we want to teach you to fight."
The words stirred something within her, something left that was relatively human, but then the ravenous side won over again and she continued to pursue. Predator hunting prey. This is wrong. She thought. "Yes, see. You know it so stop running. Let him go." But it smells so good.
"It smells good to us all but we have to fight it." Another voice, Jaspers?
"Please don't hurt him Emma." Alice this time.
Emma squeezed her eyes closed as she continued to run, opening them again as she heard his heavy footsteps slamming down the stairs, pummelling her feet after him. Jees, he's fast for a human.
She was half way down the stairs, by the large window when two things happened. One: Jacob reached the bottom of the stairs and turned away from the front door, probably heading towards the kitchen and backdoor that Emma had noticed on her travel towards the living room. Two: A hard body, caught her of guard and slammed into her side, following by the thud of another hitting them both, Emma's feet left the ground from the sheer weight of the attack and she felt herself slamming through the large glass pane, the glass shattering into millions of tiny shards as it hit her skin, not blood rose, not skin was wounded, nothing affected her, another wonder she would have to ponder if she was to get past this.
They hit the floor, the three of them with a thud that sounded more like an explosion, a fall that would have killed her any other time. "Emma!" Emmett, one of the bodies who had tackled her, growled. "Jasper do something." As she wrestled around on the floor, growling, she realise that she could no longer smell the boy, the wind was blowing in the direction he had ran so she wouldn't pick him up if he was now outside. "Hey. It's okay." Jaspers southern twang said above her, a comforting hand on her back as she lay sprawled, face down on the ground panting unneeded breath.
"It hurts." She groaned, referring to her throat.
"That's the thirst." Emmett stated the obvious, on his feet, alert, tense. "Its worse when you're a new born."
"Are you calm?" Jasper asked, his hand still pressing warmth on her back. Emma softened, calm spreading through her, the guilt, hunger, everything that had been threatening to overwhelm her washed away.
"How do you do that?" She murmured aloud, earning a small chuckle from the blonde, but before the smile could reach his eyes he tensed again and jumped from the ground, growling again. Emma pulled her self from the ground, straining to ignore the burn in her throat. She felt thankful that the wind was blowing the other way so she could not pick up either of the boys scents as he marched forward, angrily, fists clenched at his sides. Little Alice followed behind him and Emma could hear her telling him, "It's a bad idea! Just go home."
"Who are you?" the guy roared angrily.
"Emma." She replied almost immediately taking in the fact that his face was reddening, as much as his dark skin could anyway and a small vein was jutting out of his neck, she also noticed that he was no longer wearing a shirt. She was sure he had been wearing a shirt before.
"Leave it Jacob." Edward growled from his spot behind the dark skinned boy, he stood with Bella, Carlisle, Esme and Rosalie, all of whom were on edge, ready to pounce any moment. Alice hung on the boys arm, eyes pleading. "Now isn't the time to freak Jake." Bella said in agreement to her husband.
Carlisle stepped forward, "It was a misunderstanding Jacob, she hasn't been around blood yet, we forgot to warn you."
"Forgot?" the boy growled angrily.
"Don't even think about it Jacob." Edward growled again, concentrating solely on the human boy.
"Don't tell me what to think!" the boy roared, his whole body shaking. The Cullen family, to Emmas surprise backed away, though the two boys who flanked her stayed where they were, the three were obviously deemed a safe enough distance away. Safe from what? She wondered. She watched as Alice backed up to her family. "What's happening?" she murmured under her breath.
"Just stay back, this could get ugly." Emmett replied in the same manner. Emma returned her attention to the shaking boy, and gasped, one minute he was just that, a boy, then next he was a huge dog, rustic in colour and bigger than any bear. She screamed, stumbling backwards, hitting the ground with a loud thud in the most humanly ungraceful way she could as the dog roared, big black eyes focused on her, the anger the boy had possessed still obvious in his canine features.
A loud bark erupted from the dogs throat, and then the doctor and his wife were stood with Jasper and Emmett before her, the others saying something to Jacob. Despite her super sensitive hearing she couldn't hear a word they were saying. Her head pounded, and she thought that if she could cry there would be tears streaming down her cheeks. The fear was overwhelming. She knew without a glimmer of a doubt to be scared of this creature, even with the strength and agility she possessed her main reaction was fear. Pure, unadulterated fear. This time the wave of calm that washed over her did nothing, the fear overwhelming even any lust for blood she had felt before.
"Jake, I don't think she was going to hurt you. All I saw was indecision." Alice said quietly, risking herself like a crazy person and running a hand over the beasts head which was the same height as her.
"He's not going to hurt anyone, it's protection." Edward stated.
"Well it worked." Emmett mumbled, throwing a quick glance to Emma who was still frozen on the ground, staring wide eyed towards the wolf.
"I think it best you go home Jacob." Carlisle said, the same ring of authority to his voice as she had heard when he instructed his family. The dog whined, head turning towards Alice, who grinned and said, "Of course I'll come with you, I would love to see the pack again. I'll see you soon Emma."
There was a silence that followed as the dog and the pixie made their way into the woods, similarly Edward took Bellas hand, and motioned for Rosalie to follow. Emmett stalked towards the figures retreating into the house. Emma sucked in a deep breath and began, "I'm so sorry. I don't- I don't know what- What came over me?- I'm so-"
"It's okay Emma." Carlisles voice interrupted. "We've all been through this."
"I tried to kill him… I would have." She reached up, taking Jaspers out stretched hand as he helped haul her to her feet.
"When I was turned, I had the exact same problem, but I was alone to face it," Carlisle stated, "You have us, we'll make sure it doesn't happen again."
"I broke your window.." she said sadly.
"Not to worry, it was actually me who broke the window." Jasper interrupted, mouth quirking slightly.
"It can be fixed honey." Esme said reassuringly, her smile open and honest, "The house can be redecorated if it needed to be, the main thing is that everyone is safe."
"Jacob…" Emma began, "What is he?"
"Werewolf." Carlisle stated.
"Oh. Makes sense. If vampires why not wolves too?" This earned a chuckle from the doctor and Emma felt sick that they were all so okay with everything she had just done, standing there, perfect and kempt as if nothing had happened at all.
"I cant believe I did that." Emma murmured. "It just.. It was overwhelming."
"Come on." Esme smiled, "Lets get you in and get you cleaned up."
So this one came about a lot quicker than I thought, but I got very excited about the whole killing Jacob thing so I had to carry on!
My whole setting her up with the Cullens thing, nicely = well, it failed! Cause I couldn't see the last chapter going anywhere good and thought- Why not try and make a cliff hanger thing? =P Hope no one minded too much!
