Devils Tongue- Jacob Black

17

(What I imagine Delphine's car looks like ⬆️)

Delphine's small, glossy black Honda pulled over onto the side of the road. Bella and Edward emerge from the backseat of the car, and Delphine stepped out of the driver's seat. She was dressed in fitted jeans and a leather jacket, grease and oil from her car smearing her white shirt underneath. She had spent the day adding a few modifications with Emmett, before her brother asked her for a ride, as his car was being worked on by Rosalie.

30 yards down the road stood a shirtless Jacob, leaning against the hood of his red Volkswagen. The three exchanged tense looks, though Bella remained painfully oblivious

"Doesn't he own a shirt?" Edward asked

"Not when Bella's around" Delphine muttered with a roll of her eyes, causing an annoyed scoff to leave the human in question

"I'm good here, you two should go" she insisted stubbornly.

Edward pulled her closer, causing Delphine to let out an annoyed groan, turning and walking back to her car. She rolled the windows down, and turned her radio up slightly, laying the same jazz she listens to when she was human

She watched through her windshield as Edward pulled Bella into a passionate kiss. They spoke for a moment, before Edward appeared in the passenger seat of her car. He turned off her radio, listening in on the conversation

"Hey beautiful" Jacob greeted her with a happy grin, though his eyes were locked on Delphine. She growled and gripped her steering wheel tightly, almost breaking it in half

"Hi" Bella responded softly, allowing Jacob to pull her into a tight hug.

Delphine clearly has enough, because she immediately pulled away from the road, her car roaring down the street

"Thank god I did those racing modifications" she muttered as she sped off, ready to leave.

Edward watched her drive, knowing he was at no risk, despite his sister's careless driving "Where are you going?" He asked calmly

"Home. I can't deal with those two at the moment. I need to hunt" she replied simply. Edward nodded, looking back out the window

"Y'know" he spoke after a moment "Do you ever think you're.... Not good enough for a mate"

"No" she replied sarcastically "I think I'm a saint" at her brother's eye roll, she sighed and spoke "I do. Especially what happed in our adolescense with our little spree. I can't help but think he deserves better. Even though he's an annoying little asshole"

Edward laughed, leaning back in his seat "I can't help but agree. Promise me something?"

"Anything"

"Promise amen once you two get together, you'll make him wear a shirt around me"

".....I'll try my best, Eddy-boy"

"Seattle is in a state of terror. Police are baffled by the escalating murders and disappearances"

Delphine sat bythe television, listening intently to the news. Jasper and Carlisle stood to the side, watching in concern with her. Emmett was casually draped over the couch, one arm slung over the back. Bella and Edward entered the room, though no one looked up to greet them

"Theories range from a vicious new gang to a wildly active serial killer... Reporting live, Dawn Chubai. CNN"

Carlisle shook his head, his eyes trained on the television "It's getting worse. We're going to have to do something"
