The Morning's Dusk

Chapter 14

Jacob came out from behind a tree and put a finger up to his lips. Nick hadn't heard hm come from behind. I knew I would have to play along.

I smiled at Nick and said, "You know, you're right. I want to be with you forever, Nick." He grinned like the evil person he was and I almost bit him. Before I could, he crushed his lips against mine. It was sickening, the way he kept suffocating his lips against mine. I opened my eyes and saw that Jacob was full werewolf. He tilted his head to the side and I ducked at the exact moment Jacob lept forward. He growled and I clung to a tree with my eyes closed tight. When it was over (Jake told me it was okay to look) the first thing I smelled was Nick's blood. I took in the aroma with one deep breath.

Jacob had his jeans back on without any hint of blood. I crawled on my hands and knees toward the blood. I heard Jake whisper, "Ness, don't-" I put my hand up to cut him off. "I'm okay." He looked like he was about to sink to the ground beside me, concerned about the blood on my hands. I stared at them and stared up at Jake. I was sure my eyes were huge when I slowly lifted my hands to my face. I was close to licking a drop of bloodwhen I realized what I was doing.

A tear rolled down my cheek and I sobbed, "I'm a monster." I don't know what came over me, but I zoomed to La Push. When I got there I flung myself into the ocean to get rid of the blood. Then I went home to shower and change. Jacob just sat on the beach, staring at his arms. Only after I got home did I realize that he was watching a bone fix itself.

I fell asleep right after talking to Jacob. He came to my house and we talked everything over-including how his pack was hunting Nick's. I didn't dream; I remembered everything that had happened. I kept seeing my hands drenched in blood and feeling my thick eyelashes wet with tears. Everyone wanted me to show them what happened, but I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready..
