Chapter 9

Sam looks at me, I stare up at him. "I know right now this is weird for you, but during the trial you're gonna have to pretend to like him." he tells me.

"Shouldn't be too hard." I say quietly, looking down. He drags Jacob inside.

"He's on his way." I hear someone say inside. The pale guy shows up again, he stays by my car at first, then next thing I know he's in front of me.

"You have no need to be afraid." he says with a smile.

"My fear will never go away." his smile drops and he goes in through the open door. I walk slowly behind him, but stay in the doorway.

"Edward's informed me on the situation. He will come to court with us so we know the direction it's going." A chill runs down my spine, a chill like earlier before I was bitten. I turn to my left slowly, there's another pale man standing behind me.

"Ahh!" I yell and jump. He scared the shit out of me! I stand with my back towards the stairs and my heart thuds in my chest.

"I'll also be there." the new guy says. He looks just like the Cullen guy; pale skin, light gold eyes, but his hairs darker. His eyes flicker to me, first my heart beats fast and hard, then it stops. I look at him differently, both of them differently. I sink down to a sitting position on the steps and take a deep breath.

"You're going to help?" I ask.

"Absolutely." the darker haired vampire says. "I'm Jasper, by the way." he extends a hand and I shake it.

"Sveta." I smile. As I'm shaking his hand my mood changes. My smile fades, I look down and my eyebrows furrow. "Wha-" my breathing catches up. "What's happening?" I ask.

"Just a little test." Jasper says. I rip my hand from his. "Didn't you guys tell her?" he asks to everyone except Cullen.

"Tell me what? What else has been a secret?!"

"We took a chance today." Sam says.

"A chance with what?"

"Your life and chance of immortality."

"What!"

"When you were bitten there was about a 33 percent chance you would become a vampire. Another 33 percent chance my saliva would save you, and a final 33 percent chance you would die." Jacob says.

"How?"

"Well we weren't sure of your gene pairings, so we couldn't conclude if you have certain abilities."

"Abilities?"

"When we-" he points to Leah, Seth and himself, "were in wolf form earlier you heard us right?"

"Obviously. I have ears, you were talking, I heard you."

"We weren't talking. Wolves don't speak. We have mind links through the pack." I look at the two vampires, he's just saying all of this in front of them? "They already know." he answers me.

"I'm not in the pack."

"Whether you phase or not, you are apart of the pack. You have part of the gene from your dad." Sam says.

"So we can hear each other's thoughts?"

"When we're in wolf form we can all hear everything! But when we're just like this, we can block each other. Like you don't hear their thoughts right now do you?" Jake says.

"No."

"Habit that their thoughts are blocked or you're not listening."

"So when you weren't sure if I would die or not, you took the chance anyways?"

"I had to!" Jacob defends, "I couldn't let you become like them! We would have been able to save you if you were dying."

"So I'm not human?"

"Well…more like…super human!" Seth smiles.

"What else can I do?"

"Don't know yet." Jacob shrugs.

"So about the case." Cullen says.

His name's Carlisle actually. Seth thinks.

Oh, thanks. I think back, this is weird; he chuckles out loud.

"Edward will let you know and you will let us know." Sam says.

"Who's Edward?"

"B-" Carlisle starts.

"Ahem!" Jacob clears his throat interrupting him.

"My son." I try to tap into Jacob's thoughts, but it's not working.

Nice try, but you're not getting in. Jacob smiles.

"Biologically he's not, but I think you get it."

"But earlier, you said you were doing a test." I say to Jasper. "What kind of test?"

"To see if you were immune to my power."

"Am I? What's your power?"

"You're not. It's mood control."

"That explains it." I smile remembering earlier. "So Jake pretty much already won the case?"

"Yes." Carlisle smiles.

"Thank god. Because if he got in any more trouble because of me, I would hate myself." I shake my head.

"So are you still leaving?" Seth asks.

"I don't know. There's a week until the case so technically I only have to be here the day before and the day of."

"Please stay." Jacob says looking at me with huge, sorry, brown eyes. I take a deep breath. "For me?" I see Leah look down, "We need to work things out." Billy, Sue and my dad smile.

"Alright." I shrug. "I need to go get Thumper, he's still in my car." I excuse myself and go to my car for him. I open the door and see him sleeping so I don't feel too bad about him being out here.

"I thought I could help you bring your stuff in." Jacob says behind me.

"Sure, thanks." I grab Thumpers cage, Jacob closes the door for me and grabs the bags from the back then follows me to my room. I set up Thumper's play area and sit on my bed with Jacob.

"Where do we stand?" he asks me.

"Friends, I guess."

"Are we ever going to be back to normal?"

"Maybe. I mean I guess I want to, but it's something I'm gonna have to work on, you know, you being a werewolf and me not being exactly all the way human myself."

"Well as a friend, how would you like to go get some dinner tonight?"

"I guess that wouldn't be too bad. What time?"

"Around 7."

"Somewhere casual?"

"Yeah. Don't stress over the clothes, you'll look perfect." I blush a little. I involuntarily yawn. "You should get some sleep."

"I haven't been able to sleep since I found out about you guys."

"You should try."

"Fine."

"Goodnight."

"Night." I say quietly. He smiles and leaves closing the door behind him. I lay there and try to fall asleep. I guess Jacob's a wolf now because I hear Vlk's howl. That howl, once so comforting now so chilling. I try imagining that it's just a normal wolf out there that I have no connection with. There's a silence for about five minutes then a soft whimper; still Vlk's.

"Sleep." I sigh. I close my eyes and force them to stay shut until I eventually fall asleep. I wake up around five and get in the shower. I straighten my hair when I come out and put on makeup. I throw on skinny jeggings, a floral lace tank top and black flats.

"You look very nice." My dad says from the couch when I come downstairs.

"So pretty." Sue smiles.

"Thanks. Not over-dressed?" she shakes her head.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Anyone expecting someone?" My dad asks getting up, smiling; I smile back.

"Jacob." he says opening the door.

"Good evening sir, I'm here for Sveta, is she ready?" I hear Jacob say.

"Not sure."

"Dad." I smile and push him out of the way playfully.

"These are for you." he says handing me a bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you." I accept them.

"I'll put these in water for you." Sue says taking them in the kitchen.

"Don't have her out too late." my dad says fatherly.

"Yes, Sir." my dad smiles and gives me a peck on the cheek. I close the door behind us and Jacob leads me to his truck.

"You look beautiful." he tells me.

"Thank you. You look very spiffy yourself." I say rubbing his collar, he drives off. "What happened to this being a casual friend gathering?" I smile.

"I had a change in heart. And you're not dressed casually either." he says smiling.

"Somewhat casually." I defend. "So where are we headed?"

"A surprise, but there was a last minute change of plans."

He drives a little further then parks. "The beach?" I ask, he smiles so sweetly. I look at what I'm wearing, yeah not clothes for sand and sea water. He helps me out of his monstrous truck and we walk down to the shore line. We push the bottoms of our pants up and hold our shoes. I'm on his right side, closer to the water, with my shoes in my right hand and his hand in my left. "So why the last minute change?" I ask as we start walking.

"Well I originally had reservations for us, but I read something and decided this would be better so we could talk."

"Read something?"

"Mmhhmm." He sighs. I rub my thumb over his hand and look out at the waves as they toss back and forth. What could he of read that changed his mind? What else do we need to talk about? Let's see if I can tap into his thoughts.

"Niche try." He chuckles.

"At what?" I ask casually.

'Trying to get in my head.' He thinks.

'Sorry. How do you know?'

'I can feel the pressure.'

"Sorry does it hurt?"

"Not at all."

"What did you read that changed your mind?"

"I don't want to say."

"What like a cheesy magazine article?"

"No." He chuckles.

"Then what? Why can't you say?"

"It's private. Well it was something private for Seth." Private for Seth...

"You read the letter?" I ask quietly.

"Yes." I drop his hand, he looks down.

"Why? It was written for him, not you."

"He thought I should see a certain part." I turn my head to look at him, "go ahead." 'You know I was actually beginning to think that I might love Jacob. I barely know him and yet I dare to say love! How can that be, Seth? He made me feel different. I used to feel safe around him, protected, but I didn't even know him, I didn't even know he wasn't human.. How can I love someone and not even know what species they are!' His thoughts replay word for word my feelings from the note.

"I never meant for you to see that."

"Why not? Obviously these are your true feelings."

"I don't do feelings."

"Huh?"

"Growing up as an only child I learned to keep things to myself. I don't usually express my feelings that easily and you're right it was private. For Seth."

"I'm sorry. I know feelings of love don't go away so quickly though, can we talk over dinner?" He stops our walking and I see a bonfire in a pit, a picnic table and a blanket on the sand down close to the water.

"Okay." He leads us over there and we sit across from each other. He pulls out two hot club sandwiches from a basket next to him and hands me one.

"Remember this is what I made for you when you first came in." he smiles.

"The best I ever had." I wink at him, he hands me fries smiling. I take a bite of my sandwich, "Oh my god." he looks up at me. "This is different from before, what did you do?"

"Apple wood smoked and normal bacon, and Colby jack cheese in stead of cheddar."

"I love it."

"Good." he smiles. "Oh I hope it's okay, but I just brought water to drink for now."

"Mmhhmm." I take the bottle he slides to me and drink some. We eat in silence for a few minutes.

"Do you want to talk about it yet?"

"I guess now's as good as later."

"Why are you so afraid of me?"

"Because I've never been in contact with something like you- someone, someone like you! I see what Sam did to Emily and I don't know what you're capable of. We really don't know each other."

"Do you still love me?"

"I'm not sure if I truly did before. Honestly it was probably-and excuse my pun- puppy love. I mean when I first saw you I thought, wow please don't be my brother! You're so attractive physically and personality wise. Everything about you draws me in, your voice, smell, brown eyes, sense of humor, your sense of protection for me, and of course your raw sexual power!" I giggle, he chuckles.

"Can you ever love me, knowing what I am?"

"I think I can."

"Obviously you know my love for you isn't going anywhere."

"I know." I let out a deep breath. By now our food is gone and we move to the blanket. "Can you forgive me for every ignorant thing I've said?" I ask and sit next to him, leaning on his shoulder looking at the water.

"Of course." I put my hand on his cheek and shift in my spot to kiss him.

We part naturally with the sound of waves in the background. The sweetest silence in his eyes, this is the Jacob I know. He puts sand in his hands and takes mine in his.

"Stand up." we keep our hands together. "On my count throw it in the water."

"Why?"

"Now!" we toss the sand out and into the water, the wind blows it out a little. The sand surfaces on the water in the shape of a heart.

"How the hell are you doing this?"

"True love." he smiles at me. "When a wolf has found his true mate, or love, he is capable of things to help him in the romance department."

"How many of those hearts have you made before Jacob?"

"That was my first."

"So you think I'm your true, mate,.. for, life?"

"Baby I know it's you."

"What about when I go back home?"

"We'll always be together. A long distant relationship with our couple pairing will work and be strong. I physically, mentally, and socially can not cheat on you, it'd really be in your hands."

"You can't?"

"No. I have no desire, want, need or thought about cheating on you. Even if you weren't the love of my life I could never cheat on you."

"Even if someone from before came back into the picture?"

"Even then!"

"I guess I can live with that." I smile. He nods slowly and smiles.

"You think your dad was serious about a curfew?"

"Probably. Let's stay out late and see what happens though." I smile rubbing his chest.

"I don't need your dad mad at me. I'm taking you back early. I remember Bella used to complain to me about how her dad would count every minute. Even when she got home right on the dot her dad was mad!" he had to mention Bella.

"I've had to grow up a lot this week! I deserve some fun. Now forget about Bella," I straddle his lap and put my arms around his neck, "because I'm here now." I smile seductively. "I just wanna have some fun Jake. Show me how to have fun." I lick my lips and rub the back of his neck.

"You little temptress."

I touch my forehead to his, "You love it."

"I think I know how we can start things up." he swiftly shifts me off his lap and goes to bring the cooler over.

"A bottle of champagne? I'm beginning to think your intentions weren't family appropriate."

"Who knows?" he pops the cork out and pour two glasses. We cheers and drink them. After we finish the bottle lights appear on the horizon.

"Jake. Is that the sun?"

"No hun, they're boats."

"Ouu boats! Can we go on a boat, Jake? Please!"

"Sure. We have to find one that's open though. I don't think you should be exposed to boat jacking quite yet." he winks at me.

"C'mon."

"Now?"

"Yes." I stand up and look down at him. "I want a nice view. Especially for the tour of the city."

"You know, I like the view from here."

"Play your cards right and you'll get the full tour with any view you want." that gets him up quickly.

"I'll clean up everything, you take the keys and head up the thr truck." he firmly plants his feet in the sand, cocks his head sideways and lowers his lips to mine sweetly. Seeing him in this stance and how he's so vulnerable with me gives me shivers. I gladly accept his kiss and lean back smiling.

"Don't keep me waiting too long."

"Never." he says still in this special stance. I hope he kisses me like this more, I'll always call it our beach kiss! I head up to the truck and sit in the passenger side keeping the door open. I take the key and stick it in the glove box turning it slowly. I'm curious if his gun is still in here. I open the compartment and it's gone.

"Looking for this?" he asks at the door holding the gun in his hand. He looks sexy! So masculine and protective, like my own warrior.

"Just curious if it was still there."

"I hid it in the basket and brought it with us down to the beach. To protect you." I stand in front of him, put my right hand on the back of his neck and reach up to kiss him. This kiss is rough and sexy with a touch of alcohol. I release him and let out a deep breath.

"Sorry."

"Again, you never need to apologize for kissing me. Where did that come from though?"

"Well every time I see you I want to pounce, but the way you held the gun and talked about protecting me, I lost it! The champagne might have had a little to do with it too."

He shakes his head smiling, "You are something else." I get back in the truck and close my door waiting for him to load the back and get in. He drives us to the docks, but unfortunately the boats are gone for the night.

"We could always go to Zero Gravity."

"What's that?"

"The craziest club here."

"Crazy, huh?"

"Yup."

"Let's go." he drives us downtown and to the club. "Don't we have to be 21?"

"They know me."

"Sexy and comes with perks! I like it." we get out and skip everyone in the line.

"Black! Go on in." the bouncer says. Jacob nods once and we enter. Good dancing music is playing. I grab his hand and lead him to the dance floor. He stands behind me and puts his hands on my hips. I grind against him and we move with the rhythm of the music. He kisses the top of my shoulder and I grind slower into him; he's getting hard.

"How long has he been waiting to come out?" I smile.

"Too long."

A blue light starts flashing, at first I think police, but I never see red.

"You all know what the blue light means!" the DJ says over the speaker. An alarm sounds and foam drops from the ceiling.

"I forgot to mention there's a foam party tonight." he tells me, we're both covered in white fluffy foam.

"Foam shot?" a cocktail waitress asks bringing over a tray of shots.

"What is it?" I ask.

"Their specialty. Only served at foam parties. Whipped vodka and then a squirt of cool whip."

"Sounds good." I grab a shot glass, down it then squirt the cream in my mouth.

"That's really good." I giggle. I grab another and he does two. We start dancing again and grab a few more shots. All the lights go out and they turn on the black lights; everything glows. This time, more foam, some lights and glow sticks fall from the ceiling. I grab two hand full's of glow sticks and stand so I'm facing him. I wiggle my hips and move the glow sticks around my body. I walk closer to him and dance against him. I grab the bottle of cool whip and stick out my tongue. I squirt some on it and lean up to kiss him. He opens his mouth and closes his lips around my tongue as I pull it out slowly, we make out with the cream in our mouths.

"Let's say we kick things up a notch. You wanna fly?"

"Fly? Like drugs?"

"Yeah, c'mon." he takes my hand and leads me to a room in the back. There's smoke and flashing lights. Bright neon paint is splattered all over the walls.

"You know I don't smoke. Why would you bring me here?"

"You don't have to smoke to get high." he smiles. He closes his eyes and inhales.

"Shoot up?"

"Just close your eyes and tap into their thoughts. You'll feel everything without having to smoke, lick, snort or shoot up! No harm." the alcohol takes over and I find a girl on the couch. She snorts a line then puffs a joint. She's smiling so she must enjoy it. I tap in and instantly I'm sucked into a spiraling room of colors. I have the feeling you get right when you're about to go down a huge hill on a roller coaster. Only this is the roller coaster of life and the hill is twice as big and covered in foam. Things tend to escalate quickly when I'm with Jacob. I can barely think straight right now, but I yell out, "Hand it over!" Jacob looks at me. He blinks a few times, he's in his own mind right now.

"What are you doing?" he asks me.

"Having fun!" I twirl with my arms out, when I stop there's a joint in my left hand. "Lookie here." I smile and raise it to my lips. I get one puff and he grabs it from me. "Take a puff." I tell him.

"I knew it was too early to bring you here."

"Why? Loosen up and have fun.

"Look at you. No control. I didn't mean get completely lost in their thoughts. You have to stay grounded."

"I'm in too far." I smile. "I don't wanna come back. I wanna fly." I hold my arms out and fall backwards, he catches me before I hit the ground.

"One more shot then we're leaving." he says pushing me out the room. I take two shots, he takes one more.

"I gotta tell you, I only had one puff, but I'm all tingly. That girl's thoughts were amazing!" I say as he leads me to the car. "I understand now." he gets in next to me and drives to an empty parking lot. "Should you be driving?"

"I'm fine."

"Let's fly instead."

"Stop. This is all my fault and I'm sorry. I should've known it would consume you too fast. It's a monster Sveta."

I let out a sigh, "How do I land, Jacob?"

"In my arms." I scoot next to him and he drives. We get to my house, way past late.

"Are we gonna hookup?"

"Not tonight sweetheart. Come on." he helps me in the house and to my bed.

"I can't see straight Jacob."

"Close you eyes." he lays me in my bed and hums softly while rubbing my stomach.

"Will you stay with me?"

"Until you fall asleep." I open my eyes and see his sweet, scared face.

"Don't worry about me. As long as you're here, I'll be fine. Can I have a kiss?" he leans down and gives me one sweet kiss. I fall asleep in his arms until morning.
