Sundown

012

According to Quileute legend, the spirit warriors were the first to shift from humans into wolves. Quileute population was always small, but they never disappeared since it was believed they had magic in their bloodlines.

Lot's of stories were listed in that book but it wasn't much of a help to understand what is going on with my life.
While thinking about the cold people I felt a very strange feeling in my gut and belly.
It's kind of scary to know that these creatures even exist.
Like please Lord tell me this is just a nightmare or maybe a dumb prank on me because I sinned too much?

No, this is reality!

Anyways the day was spent selling a few books to old people and keeping the shelves clean.
After the long hours shift I packed my things and started to close the store already.

Suddenly I heard a noise from far away. As if someone was walking behind me.
When I turned back there was nothing to see. But then I turned forward again and saw Jacob who was standing in front of me. His face was looking beaten up, must be because of the fight he had with Paul.
He had scared me so much that I accidentally dropped my keys.
"I didn't mean to scare you...", he apologized and gave me my keys back.
His soft warm hands touched mine and I quickly pulled my hand away.

"Jacob, what do you want?", I asked him mono and he looked at me suspicious.
"I just wanted to make sure you arrive safe at home, is something wrong?"

I really don't want to talk to him after what I heard about him and Bella but not telling him would also be wrong.
"Jacob, I mean Jake. I think Bella needs your help more than I do.", I just said angrily and walked past him without even acknowledging him.

To be honest, I don't even know where this jealousy comes from, is it the imprinting?
Maybe I'm really in love? I've never been in love before so I don't know how to know.

"Maedow, wait...", but I didn't listen to him.

He followed me in silence for like 10 minutes.
It was like watching a duck walking with her duckling babies. He just followed and didn't talk at all.

We walked the way that leads to the forrest because I left my phone at home. With my phone I could've pay the bus ticket. Apple Pay is just easy like that.

"Jacob.", I said suddenly and turned myself in his direction.
He just stood there with his hands in his pockets.
"Talk to me or leave me alone.", I said and he slowly opened his mouth.
I couldn't really clarify his facial expressions.

"Well, Bella is just a friend I had a crush on before you came into my life.", he explained and I chuckled a bit.
"That's the reason you sleep beside her?", I asked and he now understood my anger.
He couldn't find an answer on this question.

"Jacob, as long as your feelings for Bella aren't clear you shouldn't..."

But he suddenly put his finger on his lip as a warning.
He heard something I couldn't hear.
Panic overcame me and my heart began to pump faster. It felt like someone was constricting my throat.
I tried to hear something but all I could hear was my own pulse.

Jacob jumped unexpectedly and turned in a werewolf just in seconds.
After that he placed himself next to me.
His claws stuck out from his paws and he growled constantly, as if he was in a constant attack mode.

"That must be Caleb...", I said to myself and out of a sudden Jacob ran into the woods chasing someone.
That was my warning to run.
I ran so fast that I could feel how the adrenaline in my blood began to pump into my heart.
Everything inside my stomach was about to come out, I felt sick like never before but I couldn't stop running at all.
It was lika a marathon.

Without knowing where I was, I stopped to take a breath.
It didn't really helped, instead of calming me down I had to throw up. Which I obviously did.

After I did so I tried to hold on a tree next to me.
I looked around me but I was so dizzy that I could barely stand. It might have been some time since I vomited, but suddenly I heard a rustling near me.

When I looked around again I could see how Jacob in his wolf form ran at me.
His rusty brown fur I would recognize everywhere.

„Jacob.", I sighed happily. However, before he could reach me, I just noticed how I fell to the floor and everything went black.
