READ AND REVIEW :D

Chapter Nine

(Gwen's Point of View)

I heard someone ringing the bell. I have slept…FOUR HOURS! I ran to the front door and when I opened it I couldn´t believe it. Jacob was standing in front of me. Since our last encounter I was scared of him. He was so strong that I think if he willingly wanted to kill me he would. I gulped.

- May I come in?

- I don´t think so… - I was closing the door but he was faster.

He grabbed the door and said:

- Please I need to talk to you. I need to explain myself - He was pleading?! Now that was something I would never expect from him!

- Hum…sure come in - I let him in the house and headed to the kitchen.

- Can I get you something? Tea? Cookie? - I smiled at him.

He laughed slightly and smiled at me. He had a beautiful smile for someone who is such a jerk.

- No I am good. Look there is something I need to tell you. About me, about my friends. I will just go straight to the point it will be a lot…easier. - He sat on one of the benches and I sat next to him. He irradiated so much warmth that it was making me dizzy.

- Are you all right? - He looked me in the eyes and I avoided his gaze.

- Yeah, I am fine Jacob. So you were saying about you, about your friends…I take it that you are talking about Embry and Seth and Quill, right? You know they are…

- …I am a werewolf! – He screamed and closed his eyes afraid of my reaction. I stared at him unsure. Did he just told me that he was a…werewolf.

- What!?

- Remember the wolves that you saw at the beach? The ones that saved you from the bloodsucker?

- Yes…- I asked him slowly.

- They are part of my pack. Sam, Jared and Paul were those wolves. That's what we do Gwendolyn: we kill vampires our natural enemies but I guess you know about vampires.

I was feeling dizzy.

- I can´t breathe! - Darkness came and when I woke up again I was in my bed. There was a letter on my desk.

Hi Gwen,

You passed out when I told you about my…situation so I carried you to your bedroom. Hope you are feeling ok when you read this.

Feel Better.

Jacob

I read his letter over and over again. I still couldn´t believe that he was a werewolf! Of all the people I never thought Jacob was a part of the supernatural world. I always thought that vampires and werewolves were myths…but they are very real! It is strange to have this kind of reaction especially because I am a witch but I always thought that I was…alone. In some ways I am!

I don´t know how to control my powers and I am too scared to start practicing it. I am scared that I will become…evil with so much power in my hands. A glass of water was on my desk. Ok Gwen you got this. I prepared myself and I stared at the glass of water. In a minute the water evaporated and fire became to spread through my desk. I yelped in fear and I cast a spell to stop the fire.

Water Flow with energy, Drawn from deep,

Within me, Pool be shallow Pool be deep,

Flow from me, as natural as sleep

The small fire immediately stopped. I breathed out heavily. That was close to disaster!

Bella opened the door.

- Hey is everything ok? I thought that I heard you scream!

- No everything is fine Bella. So how was your walk?

- Good. It was nice! - She smiled at me. I felt so bad lying to her but it was for her own good. I couldn´t take it if they hurt her like they did to my parents.

Bella was about to leave my room when I called her.

- Hum…Bells?

- Yeah?

- Hum…do you know about werewolves?

- Who told you that? – Bella's eyes widened and she shut the door quietly. We both sat on my bed and I was so nervous. I couldn't stop fidgeting my fingers. She took my hands and caressed them gently. I sighed and explained my talk with Jake.

- But why did Jake talk to you? And why did he tell you his secret?

- I don't know Bells…I don't know.

- Hey I was invited to a bonfire. Do you want to come with me? - Bella asked me.

- What about Edward? I thought that you were inseparable! - I grinned at her.

- Let's just say that he doesn't get along with werewolves. – Was she telling me that we were going to a bonfire where Jake and his entire PACK would be present?

- WHAT? Bella are you insane? I'm not going!

- OK now you are definitely going! It will be like a test. If you overcome your fear for werewolves you will be no more scared about vampires and Edward in particular!

- I am not scared of Edward and certainly I AM NOT scared of werewolves! – Hell yea! I could take them down any day!

- Fine then you won´t have a problem. Go get yourself ready! Jake will be here in an hour! - She left my bedroom and I fell on my bed. How worse can this get!

- Okay NOW I'm definitely not going!

- Why not? Are you scared of…Jake?

I gulped and looked away.

- Because I don't want to go ok? I will just stay here at home doing absolutly nothing!

- Please c'mon come with me it will be fun! I promise if you don't have fun tonight I will make it up for you. PLEASEEEEE! - Bella whined and grabbed my hands. I sighed at her childish behaviour and nodded.

- Fine but I am just doing this for you!

- Yeah! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best!

- Yeah, I know! - I grinned at her.

We heard someone knocking on the door. Bella flew down the stairs and opened the door. It was Jacob.

- Hey Gwen our ride is here. Are you ready?

I was still upstairs getting ready but as I was getting downstairs I heard Jacob whispering Why is she coming?

I kind of understood his hatred for me. He just wanted to be alone with Bella and not him, Bella AND me. He really loved her. I gulped and said hello. The rest of the ride to La Push was silent.

When we arrived I could see a group of people gathered around in a large bonfire laughing and talking to each other. I was behind Jacob and Bella and they were talking.

- Are you shore this is ok? We kinda came uninvited…isn't these reunions supposed to be top secret?

- Yeah…but that's okay! They wanted you to come! Okay…maybe I wanted you to come! – They both laughed and looked to the people surrounding the big warm fire.

I knew this was a bad idea! I was feeling like a complete outcast!

- Ok I should not be here and neither Gwen - They both looked at me at the same time. Bella was unsure of us being here and Jacob…well his face was unreadable to me.

- Well, I guess I am going to sit by the fire. It's freezing! – I smiled at them and I don't know why but it looked like Jacob wanted to hug me. He was about to touch my shoulder when he stopped, cleared his throat and looked away. I raised one eyebrow but decided to leave them be. I didn´t want to intrude.

I was really nervous being around people I have never met. I am not really good at meeting new people, especially werewolves! Do they know that I know their secret? They all looked at me like I was a lamp post. Weird?! Embry and Seth were the firsts that stood up. Embry came to me and as for Seth he ran to Jacob and Bella.

- Hi Gwen - He looked nervous. I slowly walked closer to him and the rest of the people. They were still staring at me. Some were smirking at me, others were whispering at each other while staring at me.

- Hey…I'm so sorry to intrude but I….

- Hey, Hey! No worries! You are very welcome here! – Embry smiled at me and circled his big arm around my shoulder. We walked closer to the fire and they were still staring at me.

- As for your cousin…not so much. – Some guy whispered something and a young girl slapped his nape with a wooden spoon

- Ouch! What was that Em?

- Shut up Paul! – We all laughed but I wasn't sure why they were being so nice to me. And why didn't they want Bella around?

- Look Gwen I understand if you are freaked out that we are…you know. – Embry whispered.

- Werewolves? – I yelled the word and everybody looked at me. I gasped and closed my mouth with my hands. Oh GOD! THIS IS IT! I'm gonna die!

Everybody stopped eating and talking and they just looked at me. I gulped. The guy named Paul laughed hysterically at my reaction and soon enough everybody was laughing.

- Don't worry your secret is safe with me. – I said to all of them and they just nodded and continued eating like nothing ever happened. I took a deep breath and looked at Embry.

- Good I am glad. So can we still be friends? - Embry was really cute when he pouted. I laughed slightly.

- Yeah we can still be friends. - I smiled.

We sat down on a log and Embry started introducing me to the pack. There was Sam, Jared, Paul, Quill, Seth, Embry, Jacob and Leah.

- Thanks by the way for saving me the other day.

- No worries! Couldn't let a pretty thing like you get hurt now could I? - Paul seductively said. Was he flirting with me?

- Hum…Ok?!

- Don´t worry about Paul! He is just an asshole! - Leah said to me. She was seated next to me and I guess she was not that bad as everyone said. She was all right.

Everyone was around the fire and we were just waiting for Sam's fiancée, Emily to bring the rest of the food. She came and she introduced herself.

- Hi it is really nice to meet you! - I smiled at her.

- Is she…? - She turned around to look at Sam to confirm something. He just nodded. What the…?

- Gwen I am sure in time we will be very good friends! - She hugged me tightly.

- I would like that! - I laughed at her and hugged her. I wasn´t very comfortable with hugging people out of the blue but it felt nice. I could really use a friend right now.

- So can we start or do we have more company today? – Jacob's dad, Billy Black asked. He looked at me and smiled lovingly. Like we were family. I tried to smile at him but this people were kinda freaking me out. They were so nice to me and they don't even know who I am! Why?

- Yes Billy we can start. - Sam and Emily sat down and Billy started to tell a story.

- The Quileute's have been a small tribe from the beginning…But we always had magic in our blood"- Everybody was staring at him attentively.

- We were Great Spirit warriors, shape shifters who could transform into the powerful wolf. This enabled us to scare off our enemies. We could protect our loved ones because of one powerful witch: Meliai - My eyes widened with amazement. The elderly woman from the store… she called me Meliai. I shivered.

- She was the one who brought our inner animal that still lives in our genes waiting to be awakened. - Suddenly I was so immersed in the story that I looked at the fire and I could imagine the story rolling on my mind…like a memory.

- One day our warriors came across a creature. It looked like a man, but it was hard as stone and cold as ice…Our warriors´ sharp teeth finally tore it apart… but only fire could destroy it

Bella was terrified and I was just astounded with the story. The cold ones…were they vampires? The Cullen's?

- She took her revenge and slaughtered the whole village including the son´s chief. Taha Aki and Meliai were the village´s only hope. Meliai didn't succeed and she died leaving behind her loving family. As for Taha Aki he tried killing the cold one for he was the only one who could transform into a wolf. - As the story intensified so did the fire.

- Taha Aki´s third wife could see he would lose. The Third wife was no magical being, with no special power but one: courage. - I could feel all they felt that moment. I felt somehow connected to the story, to the people. My mind was drifting so much that I couldn't control my powers. A gush of wind came to us and the fire started to build up. Everyone gasped but I don't think they understood the cause of the fire. I did this. I started the fire. I almost lost control of my powers. I was so shocked. I stared at my hands and looked at everybody's faces. They didn't stare at me but to the fire.

- Hey are you ok? - Leah asked me and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

- Yeah…I..am fine - I hesitantly responded.

When everybody calmed down Billy continued the story.

- The Third Wife's sacrifice distracted the cold Woman long enough for Taha Aki to destroy her. She saved the tribe as well as Meliai. Over time, our enemies have disappeared. But one remains- The Cold Ones…Our magic awakens only when they come near. And we sense it now; we feel the threat in our blood. It is also believed that Meliai may come one day to bring peace and prosperity to our land once again. Something terrible is coming, and we must be ready.

Billy´s eyes wandered on each and every one of us, including mine. I felt exposed when he looked at me. It was like he could see my soul, my secret…I really hoped nobody understood that it was me who started the fire.

- All of us.

- Boo! - Seth was behind me.

- God dammit Seth! You scared me! - I place a hand on my beating heart.

- You should see your face when the fire erupted! You were like this! - He mimicked me trying not to laugh at the same time.

- Ahah very funny! Don´t tell me you weren´t scared either! I saw your face! You looked like a scared…Puppy!

- I am not a PUPPY! I am a wolf and I am proud to be one! - Everybody laughed. I looked at Jacob and he stared at me. I looked down blushing like a tomato. Coward!

- Well I guess it's time to eat! - Quill announced.

- Again? - I asked Bella.

- Well, they are werewolves Gwen… - She laughed and started talking with Emily.

"Oh right…werewolves." – I whispered to myself.

I talked with Kim, Jared's girlfriend. She was a really nice girl but a bit shy. I looked at her guitar and she asked if I played the guitar. I said yes and she handed her guitar.

- Hmmm Kim I don´t know…

- Oh c´mon Gwen play for us! I am shore you are great! - Seth encouraged me as he was placing three hotdogs in his mouth at the same time. I laughed.

- Ok fine I will do it but please don't judge me I may be a little rusty.

- Well then maybe I should oil you up! - Paul wiggled his eyebrows and Jacob roared at him. I ignored Jacob's behaviour.

- You know you should really get a girlfriend…pervert! – Everybody started laughing and even Jacob cracked up a smile.

- How about six tomorrow?! My place? - Jacob punched him in the arm but Paul didn´t budge. He came close to my face and we were inches apart. Jacob was right next to him trying to stop Paul from getting any closer.

- How about never in this world or in the after world?

- Burn! - Quill said to Paul. He just continued grinning like a Cheshire cat and I rolled my eyes. He walked away and Jacob took a deep breath. We stared at each other for a while and but I looked away. But when I looked at him again he was still staring at me in awe. I tried to avoid his gaze but it was hopeless. I cleared my throat and he stopped looking at me and he sat next to Bella. Embry was smirking at us like we were match made in heaven. As if!

I ignored them and I started to play "Pumped up kicks" by foster the people. When I finished everyone clapped their hands and I made a bow.

- Wow you are really good and you are also a pretty good singer.

- Thanks Kim. You know you sing also very well

- Yes she does! - Jared said as he encircled Kim´s waist and gave her a kiss. I averted my eyes and Jacob was next to me out of breath like he had just run a marathon.

- You are…amazing!

- Hummm…thanks I guess

- No you really are great! You should start a band or something. I mean not that you need a band you could just be by yourself… I mean. - He was so nervous. I laughed at his behaviour. Why was he acting like this?

- Jake it´s fine. – His breath hitched and his eyes widened.

- Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry I…

- You called me Jake. - He was still shocked.

- It's just that everybody calls you Jake and I guess that…

- It´s fine really it's just that you never called me Jake. - Right now we were just an inch close. Our eyes locked and it was like there was nothing more in this world. Only me, Jacob and the world spinning around us.

- Hey you guys can we go home? - Bella asked us and we immediately looked at her and moved away from each other. This was strange. First he says that he hates me and now he was almost on the verge of kissing me?!

- Yeah we should go home. Goodbye everybody I had a wonderful time! – I said goodbye to everyone and walked to Bella but Jacob still stood in the same spot staring at the unknown.

- Coming Jake? - Bella asked Jake.

- Yeah… sorry.

The entire pack laughed at Jake's face. It was kinda funny. Quill and Embry walked to Jake and whispered something in his ear which made him smile! SMILE! He shoved them away playfully and ran to meet us.

We arrived in a matter of minutes I politely thanked Jacob for the ride and I immediately strode into my room leaving Jacob and Bella alone in the porch.

What was that all about? I almost done something that I would regret it! But why didn't I felt any kind of remorse. Instead I felt…was it joy?! Excitement?!

It couldn´t be…I would not like a guy who hated me.

That night all I could think about was the Third Wife´s Story and Jake.

Tell me what you think about Gwen/Jacob! Do you ship it?
