Run With The Wolves, Chase With A Vampire.

With his arms wrapped around me tightly, I kept my face hidden within his shirt. I believed what Jacob had said to me was true, but my own stupid mother's words kept echoing in my head. I shook my head against his neck, trying to forget what she had said. I didn't believe her words anymore, but it was still hard to forget them. I trusted Jacob, I really did. But, I didn't know where that trust came from. I had only known him for just around a month and yet, it was like I had known him for years and years. Like I had known him since we both had been babies. But I knew that wasn't true nor could it be. He had lived here for all of his life. 

With the tears freely flowing down the side of my face, my head rested into his chest as he murmured 'it's okay' into my ear softly every few seconds. I couldn't believe just how hard things had gotten so quickly and suddenly. It was like everything and everyone was trying to stop us from being together, and yet, a very few amount of people knew we were together. How was this all happening to me? To us? It didn't seem fair to me. 

Abruptly, I noticed Jacob's breathing almost stopped and he froze against me. I looked up to him, seeing that his eyes were glued to the forest just ahead of us. I could see in his eyes there was something wrong. They had suddenly turned black and piecing in that direction. "What's going on Jacob?" I whispered into his ear softly with a cracked tone of voice from crying so much.  

Slowly he arose to his feet, his arms and hold on me not loosening. "Keep your voice down," he murmured huskily, almost silent. I leaned against him, turning around so that I could try and see what he was staring at. I couldn't see anything. It was just all darkness of night and a forest a head and around us. Suddenly the sound of a tree branch been broken came from in front of us. Jacob started slightly shaking less than a millisecond after it. I looked up to him, his jaw was clenched tightly and his breathing soft. Once I looked back to the forest ahead of us, I could saw a faint figure coming out of the shadows. My body instantly froze against Jacob's. His grip tightened slightly around me, finding and taking my hand into his tightly while taking a step back.  

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Jade and her little pet dog," Dan humoured darkly. Jacob growled lightly at his words, taking another step back as Dan got closer to us. My entire body was shaking with fear. Even with Jacob here beside me, he couldn't protect me, himself and fight Dan all at the same time, but who was around to help us? No one! I didn't see any way out of this for us. There was only one way things could go and I didn't like it. 

"Jade, calm down," Jacob said only loud enough that I could hear him. "Keep your heartbeat down and slow your breathing as much as you can." I looked up to him, confused by what he was saying but tried to do as I was told. I didn't see how that would help at all. It would only help if my heart stopped. 

Another sound of a stick been broken came not far from behind Dan. I watched as he smiled slightly, looking over his shoulder and into the darkness behind him. Again I couldn't see anything, but it seemed to be that Jacob dropped his guard slightly. 

"Now, now, now Dan baby. Don't go beating up my little sister just yet." I would know that sickly sweet voice anywhere. Katherine. As she came out of the cover of the trees, she walked slowly over to Dan's side and kissed his cheek softly. His arm wrapped around her as she leaned into his side. I could feel my eyes narrow with disgust. It would be typical of my sister to date someone who was trying to kill me! Of course she would! She was the one who hated me just as much as I hated her.  

"You know dog, you can easily get my sister into big trouble with being with her right now. Pity, I don't have my phone or camera to take a photo of the two of you so my father could see," she shrugged, speaking softly. Jacob growled and held me tightly again. I thought that maybe, just maybe, my sister would help us, but I was stupid thinking that! Whatever she was thinking she was going to be doing with Jacob, she could think again! She wasn't coming anywhere near him while I was around!
