Thanks loads to thegoatsoftruthorotherareeatinggrass, scar, Ella and bunnysomething for my reviews! As asked, here is more! Sorry I can't update every day, sometimes I might take over a week. But when I do that's because I have been working very very hard to keep you readers happy! ;)
"Wakey, Wakey, sleepy head." Mum was crouching by my bed waiting for me to get up. Sleep is just too good though. Why would anyone want to get up? "Jacob's waiting to take you to school." Aah, that's why...
"Getting up." I mumbled into my pillow.
"I hope so." Called dad. He was just leaving to go to work. "See you later Honey." I heard the door click shut and dad drove away in his fancy silver Volvo (please tell me if I'm wrong).
Mum left me alone in my room. I got out of bed and changed into a pair of jeans, ripped at the knee, a tight stripy t-shirt and my favourite throw over. It was mostly grey, with a plain white semi circle at the top (the moon) and black wolf's head, howling. It reminded me of Jacob, because he bought it for me.
I ran down the stairs and threw together a bowl of cereal. I wolfed it down (no pun intended) and put the bowl to wash up. I grabbed my school bag, realised I had forgotten about my maths homework. I grabbed my book and at vampire speed, filled in the answers. I put the book in my bag, opened the door, called "Bye mum." and closed the door behind me. Jacob was standing there, waiting.
"Ready for school then?" He had a backpack that was half empty and covered with hand carved keyrings he'd done himself. I noticed a small wolf one, just like on mum's bracelet.
"This is just like mum's." It really was, It went right down to the slightest detail.
"I made them identical so she would always be with me. Even though I imprinted on you, I still love her. It's hard to let go." He seemed quite sad. It must have been hard always knowing she'd chosen your enemy. Even though you never gave up, and you'd almost been there. Even though the enemy had just her the most, she still took him back.
"Are you glad they're together? Ignore the fact that I come into this." He was obviously going to say he was because I came along.
"I would have always preferred it she'd let me love her. She only realised how much she loved me once she was engaged. Bad timing, it could have been my ring on her finger. You know you'll always be the one for me though, right?" He added as an afterthought. We always told each each other everything.
I had to try to take his mind off it, he looked so sad. I knew he still didn't like how mum was a vampire now. "Are you even planning to go to lessons? You have hardly anything in that bag."
"Well we could skip the whole day and go to the beach." He looked serious.
"It's the second day, you know, good impressions?" I was not missing a full day of idiots humiliating themselves for a day of making out on the beach. Although it was tempting. Very tempting.
"How about I run you to school and we stop in the woods near the science block?" He'd cheered up now. He looked eager to run. It was strange, how much happiness that gave him.
"Nessie." Luke was coming and Jacob was still right next to me.
He'll be fine, you can give him a vision out just straight tackle him.
"Luke. You OK?" I was aiming for 'normal friendly conversation'.
"Other than a stench that gives me a headache, yeah I'm good. I was coming to see if you were doing OK. Dog breath seems pretty vicious." 'Normal friendly conversation' was so not happening with these two within 10 kilometres of each other.
"Well, with JACOB around I'm a lot better than I would be without. I've got my mum's clumsy gene." Not true. I was extremely well coordinated. Although my vampire DNA was probably just covering that up.
"Better than you would be with me?" He challenged.
"I'm better than you ever were." Jacob stepped in. He looked down on Luke, and had way more muscle. People were watching.
"You sure? You gonna prove it? Last time you 'proved it' you did puppy eyes with your puppy friends. Can you do any better this time?" Luke obviously didn't care about exposing Jacob to our classmates.
"Are you trying to use pathetic, baby boy, brainless insults on me?" He emphasized every word, especially pathetic. He was quite good at this.
Jacob was getting wound up. I put my hand on his bare shoulder and sent him a quick flash vision.
Jacob phased right there, in front of about a hundred school kids. They ran, screaming.
He looked me in the eye and seemed to have got the message.
"Are you two telepathic or something? I can't hear what your saying!" Luke just shut up OK, you're not helping. "Sorry what?" Shut UP. "Pardon?"
"Luke just shut up. If you want me to love you then stop giving me reasons to hate you." I finally snapped.
"Who says I want you to love me? I'm just here to get payback. Thanks to him, you'll never love me, so I gave up. This isn't about love, it's about revenge. Although you wouldn't understand that." Walk away Nessie. Don't snap his neck. Not a good idea. At least not here. Jacob might later. Yeah, live now, snap necks later.
"Jacob, we're leaving." I sent him another vision, so I could get my head straight.
I showed him and Luke facing either off, Jacob phases, then a big fight. Then Luke's head rolling across the floor.
