Chapter 14

Heaven Is Waiting

Fay Age: Seventeen Years, Six Months

December 31st

Since Sam and the others had sullenly vowed to keep Fay's existence a secret meant she was still dead to the outside world. Which meant no going back to school for her. But now she was stuck with night patrols every day of the week but Fridays and Saturday. Then as she spent her day times catching up on sleep and the three younger boys would go to school. Sam would do day patrols until the others were out of school.

Fay was exhausted but this was the good kind of exhaustion. The kind you get after cleaning the whole house or finishing another semester of schooling. It was hard work but now it's done you can enjoy the rewards. She did enjoy running laps around La Push even if it was New Year's night, she still enjoyed it.

Tonight, was meant to be Jared's night to patrol but Fay knew he wanted to spend New Year's with Kim so she took the shift instead. What was one more night of patrol? It wasn't like she really had anyone to spend this holiday with. Jared had Kim, Sam had Emily, Paul had a party to go to, girls to wow. And Embry was spending his night at home with his mum, not the most outrageous New Year's plans but to most people it would still seem better then running around in the dark all night. But Fay wasn't most people. Embry had offered to take the early morning hours of her shift so Fay could catch up on some more sleep.

She was happy about his offer and promised they would do something tomorrow afternoon. But Fay enjoys this quite time, liking the space it gave her. Tonight, she mostly wondered if there was anyone out there for her. Was it even possible for female wolves to imprint?

It was past midnight, and a new year by the time she felt a shift in the air. When she felt him come into her mind. Fear shot through Fay as thoughts that weren't hers rushed into her mind.

What the hell? This can't be happening. What's going on? Help! Fay recognised the voice in her head immediately. She stopped running, her breath catching in the back of her throat as her paws dug into the moist soil.

Jacob? Is that you?

Who are you? Where are you?

I need you to calm down Jacob, everything is going to be okay.

What the hell is happening, who are you?

Jacob, you phased.

I what?

The legends are real, Jacob. Shape shifting is real.

Jacob Age: Seventeen Years, Eleven Months

The gravel crunched under the wheels of Jakes rabbit as he pulled it into Bella's driveway. Once Jake stopped the car the two teens stayed silent in the car for several long moments, nether having anything to say but not wanting the night to be over just yet.

They had a great night at a New Year's Eve party one of Bella's friends had put together. They had spent the whole night in the company of one another, dancing, laughing, having fun. Jake smiled to himself at the thought of Bella sitting beside him, allowing him to hold her hand the whole ride home. Jacob's eyes moved from their linked hands, to Bella's face, to the dark house in front of them and then to the small digital clock in the dash of the car that just flicked over to 12:00. Bella had been eying the clock, willing it not to flick over. She didn't want this year to end, but it did. Bella smiled nervously looking across the car at Jake. "Happy New Year's, Jake."

"Happy New Year's Bells," Jake smiled and took advantage of the moment. He lent forward and pressed his lips to hers. Bella had expected this would happen, after she had kissed him three weeks ago, she had hoped he had forgotten about it. Apparently, he didn't. She held still, trying not to pull away from him, worried about hurting his feelings. But at the same time every fiber in her body told her this was wrong. She moved away from him, taking back her hand, and wiping her lips. As soon as Jake opened his eyes Bella's heart dropped. He was hurt, sad, disappointed, angry, there was no right word that fit the powerful emotion in his dark eyes.

"Jake I'm sorry, I just-" Jacob looked away from Bella, out the front of the car.

"No Bella it's my fault, I shouldn't have done that. Please just... I need you to know I really do care about you Bella, and I will never, ever, hurt you."

"I know Jake, I know." Bella sighed, snatching at her purse, and quickly getting out of the car, her cheeks flashing red. "Will you call me, so I know you got home safe?" She asked, looking back through the window at him.

"Sure," he said, not even looking at her just staring straight ahead.

"Bye," Bella said with a wave and an awkward smile.

Jacob didn't say anything as he reversed out of her driveway and drove away from her. She will come around; she can't love that monster that broke her heart forever. How could she have loved him in the first place? Now he left her and was never coming back. What he did to her, how he just left her, was inhuman. Jacob's mind hissed as he drove faster down the dark road towards La Push.

It angered him just to think about the Cullen. All he wanted to do was kill him for leaving Bella like that, for hurting her so deeply. The hatred he felt towards Edward at that moment made his blood boil. Actually, his whole body felt like it was boiling. Before he knew it, he was parking in front of his house, teeth gritted and knuckles white against the steering wheel. A beastly growl rumbled through his chest, but he was so angry he didn't even hear the noise.

Jacob yanked the keys from the ignition, through the door open and marched from the car, his breathing ragged and beads of sweat forming on his forehead. By the time he was out of the car he was shaking with rage. His neck bulged as the muscles in the rest of his body grew tight, to the point that he couldn't move. His heart felt like it was going to burst out of his chest, but it continued to pump boiling blood through his veins.

The familiar tone of Bella Swan's ring tone stared to play from inside his car and that was the last straw. Blinding pain ate away at the anger Jacob was feeling until every inch of him hurt. He fell to the gravel ground as his bones began to break and grown to fit his new form. Muscles tore and stretched as hair replaced his skin and his fingernails grew into claws. It was over in a matter of seconds, but those seconds felt like years to Jacob.

The pain and the anger both left his body at once. For several moments he felt dizzy, black spots played with his eyes and his head felt heavy. He lifted a hand to rub his eyes but was met with claws and fur. Jacob jerked away from the paw, not understanding it was his own. He spun to see where the paw came from and saw a mass of dark red fur in place of his body. He jumped up, landing on four paws instead of two feet.

What the hell? This can't be happening. What's going on? Help! Jacob tried to talk but all that came out of his mouth was an animal's wine.

Jacob? Is that you? Jacob spun around at the voice, looking for where it came from but seeing no one.

Who are you? Where are you?

I need you to calm down Jacob, everything is going to be okay. The voice was calm, feminine, and oddly familiar.

What the hell is happening, who are you?

Jacob, you phased. The voice said and Jacob stopped looking for where the voice was coming from as he became confused and slightly disorient from spinning so much.

I what?

The legends are real, Jacob. Shape shifting is real. And with that his mind began playing an old memory, one that definitely wasn't his. Jacob saw himself as a young boy, around five or six years old. He sat by a campfire, surrounded by familiar faces, and seemed to be listening intently to his father.

"The Quileutes have been a small tribe from the beginning, but we have always had magic in our blood. We were great spirit warriors, shape shifters, that transformed into the powerful wolf. This enables us to scare off our enemies and protect our tribe."

This can't be real; those were all just stories.

Just keep telling yourself that. I'll be there in a couple of minutes, just don't move.

Where are you?

When in wolf form, we can speak in each other's minds, makes talking easier. The voice responded and as Jacob's mind started to slow down, he begun to see the forest flying by him, but he was still standing in his driveway. It confused him. You're seeing what I'm seeing Jacob, don't worry with time you can block some of it out.

Who are you? Jacob asked watching the tree line around him.

It's going to be hard to explain, I'll tell you everything once we're back in human form.

I didn't think females could be wolves.

Everyone was shocked, guess I'm just… special.

It's not just you? There are others?

Of course. Sam's the Alpha-

Sam Uley?

Yep. Jared is Beta, Paul is third, I'm fourth and last but not least is Embry.

That's why they all hang around together?

The pack sticks together, it's safer that way.

Where is everyone then?

I was on patrol tonight, everyone else has the night off.

Patrol?

It's when you run laps of La Push land and make sure no blood suckers get near the tribe.

Blood suckers?

Did you really pay no attention to the legends?

I just don't believe this is real.

Believe it.

The forest moved before him and something even darker than the night sky stepped from the trees. The moon light made the new wolf's short black fur shimmer. The wolf was much larger than the average wolf, but she still looked small and swift compared to Jacob's large form. He was lost for words as soon as their eyes met. A shiver ran down his spine. The other wolf was also frozen. They stayed like this for some time. Until Jacob's phone begun to ring once again with Bella's ring tone. Jacob's head snapped to the car and he growled at it.

We should get going. The voice finally spoke again but this time it sounded… sweeter. It made Jacob's mind tingle and he looked back to the girl-wolf.

Go where?

You can stay at my place until we work things out with your temper.

I can't. My Dad will flip if I'm not here in the morning.

I will call Sam, he can come by first thing in the morning and explain it all to Billy.

He's not going to believe this.

He knows more then you think.

Without looking back the she wolf walked back into the forest. Jacob followed her without hesitation, he trusted her.

Fay Age: Seventeen years, Six months

January 1st

They walked through the dark forest in silence for most of the walk. Fay was trying to keep her thoughts hidden. Fay knew what had happened between the two of them, but Jacob's mind was already such a mess that he couldn't understand what had just happened. So, Fay kept her mind on her surroundings and not on the way Jacob's eyes had stopped her in her tracks.

How long have you been a wolf? Jacob asked, wanting to hear her talk some more. An image of Sam's shocked face flashed through Fay's mind. What was that? Jacob asked as the image disappeared faster than it had appeared.

Nothing important. It's almost been a month since I phased for the first time.

It won't hurt as much next time, right?

No, and as time goes on it will get even easier. But you will have to learn to control it. We can't just go phasing whenever we feel like it or someone makes us angry. We have to be careful.

Can you tell me your name yet?

We're almost there. I'm going to find us some clothes. Fay left Jacob just out of eyesight of the house, as she went looking for some clothes.

Clothes?

Yeah Jacob, we are magic, but our clothes are not. Fay smiled to herself as she looked for some clothes that had been stashed by her house. It took him a minute to catch on to what she was saying.

Oh. I didn't think of that. How do I phase back? Fay found a grey t-shirt and a pair of cut off genes inside a fallen log. She picked them both up as gently as possible in her large jaws.

You just have to be calm, think about being human, see yourself shifting back to human form. Fay dropped the pair of cut offs in front of him and walked out of sight with the grey t-shirt. Just take some deep breaths and picture yourself on two legs.

Jacob listened to all her advice and after a few deep breaths he was no longer in wolf form. Fay phased back as well, slipping on the shirt she had found and slowly started to walk in the direction of Jacob.

Jacob Age: Seventeen Year, eleven months

January 1st

Jacob was lost for words when he saw her step out from behind the trees. It was the mystery girl that he saw the other day at the cliffs. The shirt she had on was over size, the dark fabric hanging to her mid-thigh and off one shoulder. It was only when he met her eyes that he realised this girl was not a mystery person but a missing person.

"Fay?" He asked in a shaky voice. His eyes watering with tears. "Fay?" He repeated.

"Yeah Jacob."

"Are you real?" She walked forward and reached out a hand. It was only once her hand landed on his shoulder that Jake realised, he was shaking.

"You need to calm down Jacob." He nodded his head and tears fell down his cheeks. He never thought he would see her again. Jacob quickly pulled Fay into a hug.

"I missed you," he whispered.

"I missed you too."
