WickedlyMinx: Thanks for the review! Evelyn can only see Jacob when she's with him. Everything else around them is just really blurry. Jacob's a solid image, but nothing else is. I hope I clear that up in this chapter a little bit. Thanks for the review!
Evelyn smiled to herself as Jacob rubbed her hip lightly. They had been walking through the woods for about an hour, just talking and laughing with each other. Jacob had been rubbing her hip the whole time they were walking; it was surprisingly relaxing. Evelyn looked up at Jacob and smiled as he talked animatedly. He was definitely a handsome man; she couldn't deny that. Her favorite part of Jacob though, were his eyes. Most of the time, his dark brown eyes showed pain, but right now his eyes were full of youthfulness and laughter. She loved seeing Jacob so carefree.
Jacob looked down at her and smiled, "So, what do you think?"
Evelyn frowned a little. She hadn't been paying attention to what he was saying. "Well…um…"
Jacob smirked, "Were my good looks distracting you?"
"I…no…" Evelyn answered blushing.
Jacob laughed and pulled Evelyn closer. "You're blushing," he teased, "Do you like my muscles, Evelyn?"
Evelyn blushed more and shoved Jacob away. "Shut up, Jake," she mumbled and looked down at the blurry ground. Jacob laughed and smiled to himself. He liked that she was staring at him.
"Come here, Red," Jacob cooed and pulled Evelyn close to him. "I'm just teasing you. I think it's cute that you find me sexy."
Evelyn rolled her eyes, but she didn't push him away. Instead she cuddled into him more and closed her eyes. Jacob rubbed her back and looked down at the girl in his arms. Just friends, he reminded himself. Just…really close friends. Jacob laid his head on top of Evelyn's and took a deep breath. He sighed happily; she smelled like strawberries.
Jacob closed his eyes. "Evelyn…I-" but Jacob didn't finish that sentence. Instead, he tensed up as a sickly sweet smell hit his nose; vampire. Jacob growled low in his chest and gripped onto Evelyn tighter.
Evelyn frowned and looked up at Jacob. "Jake, you okay?"
But he didn't answer. Jacob's body start to shaking uncontrollably; the need to protect his mate was taking over. Jacob threw Evelyn over his shoulder and started to run towards the La Push border. He needed to get her to safety.
Evelyn squealed when Jacob threw her over his shoulder. "Jake!" Evelyn yelled as she started to punch Jacob's back, "Put me down you buffoon!"
Jacob growled low and kept running. He didn't answer her, and he didn't put her down. All he did was mumble, "Get her to safety." Evelyn frowned. What the hell was he mumbling about? They had just crossed the La Push border when something rock hard slammed into them. Evelyn was thrown out of Jacob's arms and went crashing to the ground a few feet away from him.
Evelyn groaned and slowly sat up. She looked around at her blurry surroundings, trying to find Jake. "Jake! Jake where are you?!" She yelled desperately. Evelyn heard a sound that sounded similar to clothes tearing and then a deep growl. Her head whipped in the direction of the sound, and her eyes widened. A giant, reddish brown wolf stood in front of her. It was growling at a blurry white figure. Evelyn couldn't pry her eyes away from the wolf. It was the only thing, besides Jacob, that she could see. The wolf continued to growl and stalk around the intruder.
"Well, well, well," a bell like voice said. "Isn't this a surprise? The little wolf has a girlfriend, and she smells delicious." The wolf growled low and looked over in Evelyn's direction. Evelyn stared at the wolf; his eyes reminded her of Jake's. The wolf slowly inched closer to Evelyn, as if it was trying to protect her.
The voice laughed, "There's no way you'll be able to protect her and fight me dog."
The wolf scoffed as if it didn't believe her.
The voice chuckled darkly. "I'm not alone, mutt," it sneered. Just then a blurry object jumped onto the wolf's back. The wolf growled and threw the person (that's what Evelyn was assuming it was) off of his back. He let out a long, loud howl and then ran over to Evelyn. Evelyn backed up, pressing her back into the tree. She watched as the wolf looked her over quickly, as if assessing if there was any damage, and then turned away from her to focus on the two individuals.
The wolf hunched down in a protective stance and let out a warning growl. What happened next was a bit of a blur for Evelyn. She could hear the three of them fighting, but could only clearly see what was happening to the wolf. Evelyn flinched and felt her heart break as the wolf was slammed into a tree. The tree fell to the ground and made a loud booming sound; the wolf didn't get up. Evelyn whimpered. "Come on," she whispered. Her eyes were forced from the wolf though, when a pair of iron like hands pulled her up off the ground. She felt herself being flung into the air and screamed in pain when she hit a sharp boulder. Evelyn felt blood trickle down the back of her head and her rips crack as she tried to stand up. She needed to get out of here, or she was going to die.
"Aww look," the first bell like voice spoke, "She's bleeding." Evelyn was shoved back onto the ground. A boot slammed down onto Evelyn's ribs and she cried out in pain.
The second voice chuckled, "Mm, smells good." She heard the wolf growl and quickly looked over at him. He was struggling to stand up and was looking at Evelyn with fear in his eyes. Evelyn screamed and tears ran down her cheeks as her arm was twisted in an odd angle. Black spots started to cover Evelyn's blurry sight; she was going to pass out. The last thing Evelyn heard was the sound of paws running towards her.
?!
Jacob needed to get up; he needed to protect his mate, but he was too injured. During the fight, one of the vampires had bitten into Jacob's shoulder. He could feel the venom running through his veins, burning him from the inside and making him grow weak. His back legs were broken, and they were beginning to heal at an odd angle. He growled low as he saw the vampires throw his mate into the side of a boulder, and then he whimpered when he smelled the blood. Jacob could physically feel her pain, and it was killing him.
We're almost there, Jake. Hang in there! He heard Sam's voice in his head. During the fight Jacob had howled, signaling to the rest of the pack that there was danger. He had felt them all shift into their forms. The pack quickly ran in their direction, anxious because two of their pack members were in danger.
Jacob let out a painful howl as he heard Evelyn's rips crack. He tried to stand back up, but it was no use. He watched his imprint, with fear in his eyes. She as going to die, and it was all his fault. He watched as Evelyn passed out from the pain; the two nomadic vampires smirked evilly at each other. The female pressed her disgusting vampire lips to Evelyn's neck, but before she could bite down, Sam tackled her to the ground. Evelyn's limp body fell to the ground, and Jacob sighed in relief when Leah stood protectively over her.
Jacob didn't tear his eyes away from Evelyn's body. He watched carefully as her chest rose and fell, and he thanked the Gods that she was still breathing. He could hear his pack brothers fighting the two vampires. The smell of smoke from the fire made its way over to Jacob. That would be the vampires' demise.
Sam walked over to Jacob and looked him up and down. I need help carrying Jacob back to Sue's house. He needs to calm down enough to turn back, and then his wounds need to be looked at. Leah, take Evelyn to the hospital. Say she fell off a cliff.
He watched as Leah turned back and put clothes on. Jacob growled at Leah as she picked up Evelyn, and then he glared at Sam. I'm not leaving her side.
I'll go with them, Jake, Seth said. I'll let the pack know what's happening while they help you.
Jacob went to protest, but it was no use. Leah and Seth were already running off with his imprint.
Phase back Jake, Sam ordered. Jacob felt himself phase back into his human form. He felt his pack brothers pick him up and walk toward Sue's. Jake was in pain, but he didn't care. All he could think about was how he had failed his imprint. He couldn't protect her on his own. Jacob felt his heart break as a tear ran down his cheek. He didn't deserve Evelyn, and he was going to make sure she was never put into danger again.
