  The rest of the week flew by, and by the time I know it, I'm packing food for the beach. "So where are you going again?" Charlie asked while watching me pack. "La Push beach" I said showing him a towl as I stuffed it in the bag. "Humph" he said returning back to his recliner. I shook my head and continued packing. 

  When I got outside, I looked up at the sky immediately. Clouds were slowly gathering up, making thin grey layers. I bit my lip thinking about what the weather channel said, and got into my truck. The closer I got to the beach, more clouds rolled in. But I didn't seen any signs of rain or thunder, and I saw Mike's and Angela's cars in the parking lot. So I rolled into a space next to Mike's car and hopped out. "Bella you came!" Angela said surprised. Her, Jessica, Mike, and Eric were all sitting in the inside of her van, putting on surf suites. "Ya", I said eyeing the surf boards, "but i'm not surfing." 

  "That's ok, neither I am" Angela said. "What? You scared of a little waves?" Eric teasesd. Angela playfully smacked his head and we all laughed. "Alright, we should probably get surfing, before it starts to rain." Mike said turning to me. "Glad you came" he said with a bright smile. I nodded fake smiled.

  When Jess, Mike, and Eric took off, me and Angela wandered around the beach. We were walking along the side edge of the beach when I saw a group a guys with that same copper skin as Jacob's. All their head suddenly snapped towards me and I looked down embarrassed. Then I saw one of them running towards me and I quickly looked up. "Bella!" That familiar husky tone yelled. Then the puzzle fell together, it was Jacob. But, he got taller, like 3 inches taller. 

  "Whoa dude", I said getting on my tip-toes and barley touching his nose, "are you on steroids or something?" He laughed his husky laugh and looked down at me. "That or you shrunk" he said touching my nose like I did to his. "Only if that was possible" I said laughing to. 

  I looked over at Angela and could tell she was in an awkward position. "I'm just going to go find Eric" she said, starting to walk away. "Are you sure?" I asked. "Ya, it's cool" she said almost down by our cars. I shrugged and turned over to face Jacob. "So what do you want to talk about?" I asked as we walked down the beach. He thought for a moment looking at the eerie forest then came back to reality. "Do you like scary stories?"

  "Depends, will it give me nightmares at night?" I teased. He thought about it and replied "I don't think so." I pretended to be quizzical then replied "fine, give me your best shot." He smiled big and started. "There are tons of myths, legends, that have passed around about my ancestors. My ancestors were apart of a tribe called the Quileute. Many believe that my ancestors could change..." he looked around. "Into?" I asked, actually interested. "Wolfs" he replied still looking around. "Wolfs?" I asked, surprise clear in my voice. "Ya, wolfs, they also say there's a reason why they changed into wolfs. They said it's to protect our land and people..." he trailed off. "From" I said still pushing him on. "The cold-ones. Well, you may know them as Vampires." He said with a smile. "They caught the cold-ones on our land, and made a treaty with them to stay off our land if we stayed off of theirs, when they were here." He said still smiling.

  I was so involved in the story that I hadn't realized that we were at the edge of beach right infront of the eerie, dark forest. I gasp stumbling backwards. "Did I scare you too much?" He asked nervously. "No, it's just my lack of attention around myself" I said stopping in my tracks. He chuckled and replied "don't worry it's just a myth." Obviously knowing my lack of direction wasn't all that made me gasp. "Right" I replied. All of a sudden I felt a cool splash of water land on my head and I looked up to feel more water splashing on my face. "Oh shoot!' Jacob said as rain started pouring down on us. 

  He swiftley pulled off his jacket and put my arms through it, helping my run through the rain. My foot landed in a puddle and I feel down into it. "Bella are you okay?" He said picking me up easily. "Ya i'm fine but your jacket... i'm so sorry!" I said trying to wipe the soggy sand of the jacket. "It's fine bella, I can just wash it off" he said like it was no big deal. "Sorry, I don't want to slow you down" I said, trying to run again. "You know Bella, you say sorry a lot" he laughed as he bent down. He must of saw the confused looked on my face so he said "piggy-back ride." I wasn't about to let down his offer. So I wrapped my legs around his stomach and held onto his shoulders. He ran down the beach not stumbling once, like I would have.

  When we made it back to the cars, Mike starred at Jacob. I got off his back and Mike eyed Jacob with the 'death' glare then looked at me and smiled. "Have fun with uh..... him?" He asked still glaring at Jacob. "Jacob?" I asked sort of mad at how Mike was treating him. "Ya, what ever." He replied. I rolled my eyes at him and smiled "yes, I had a lot of fun." I said putting my emphasis on 'a lot' then needed. This rubbed him the wrong way, so he mumbled, and got into his car. This made me laugh. Jessica came over and looked between me and Jacob and said "I hope you had fun." Then got into Angela's car. Eric and Angela waved to me as they got into their cars. Everyone drove off, leaving me and Jake alone. 

  "Well that was fun" Jacob said, shaking the rain drops out of his long hair. "Ya" I agreed, running my fingers through my naughty hair. "We should hangout, but for real this time, soon" he said smiling. "Yes, definitely" I said hoping it was soon to. "Well I should go back to Embry and Quil... my friends" he said. "Ya, call me sometime. You have Charlie's number right?" I asked about to find something to write it down. "Yup, my dad knows it by heart" he said with a smile. I nodded and smiled back. We hugged and he went off to his friends. I watched him as he leaved. Then the feeling, of my heart pounding started running through me, butterflies started roaming my body. I smiled to myself, remembering the way he guided me, picked me up, then it hit me, like a ton of bricks. It also might be possible, that I might of... like Jacob Black.
