Howling At The Moon

power of dreams

note: I can't believe it's been over a year since I updated this story. Sorry guys

Jake had caught up to me about half an hour after I had ran out the house. There was just so much going on in my head that I couldn't focus, I couldn't think, I just had to run. I didn't know if it was because I wanted to run away from it all or if it was my inner wolf trying to make me connect with it more. Either way running was the only way I felt free. It always had been.

My senses where going crazy my hearing was spiked high I could see for miles hear for miles There was nothing better then this, the miles I could run and see and hear was amazing. I finally stopped running at the cliff I dived off not long after I got here. Jake sat beside me, in silence. I listened to the waves hitting the cliffs at the bottom , the children playing on the beach 20 miles away. That was where I decided to go.

"Let's go to the beach" I said to Jake who stood immediately .

"maya why do you always want to run?" he asked out of the blue

"because I feel like I need to, it makes me feel free"

He stood as though taking in what I had said "the time I left sams pack I felt free then, I never wanted a pack of my own I wanted to be free like you"

"you where born to lead Jake, there's something big planned for you I just can't wait to see what it is"

"all of this is crazy, I mean we have known each other our whole life and for you to be part of my world and share this with me, it's crazy amazing but crazy"

"I know I never imagined this world ever existed I mean I read stories and wished the magic in them was real but never thought it ever could be"

"I'm sorry maya for how strained our friendship has gotten since you know changed I never wanted this summer to be like this, I wanted this to be an amazing summer fun and exciting not tearing us apart "

"Jake this isn't tearing us apart and do you really think this isn't fun and exciting I'm glad i get to share this with you my best friend, yes we have hard a few hard moments but I know a lot of it is because of the connection between us that pull it's confusing and hard on us both, your my best friend and I love you nothing will ever change that"

He hugged me and whispered I love you too in my ear which only made a small tear escape my eye I managed to wipe it away before he noticed.

We sat in silence for a short while looking out over the cliff until it wasn't the cliff I saw any longer it was the beach, family's playing, people swimming but that's when I saw the little boy struggling to swim against the current I watched as he slowly drowned everyone to busy to notice. Then I was pulled back to the cliff with Jake. It was then I knew what it was , it was a vision of the future.

"we have to go to the beach now" I said standing up and taking off towards the beach. It took Jake a moment to register what I had said before he began to follow.

"what's going on?" Jake asked as we ran towards the beach I didn't have time to explain I just picked up the pace and ran as fast as I could.

The moment I reached the beach I saw everything I already had, I ran towards the water and saw the boy swimming, that's when the seas current picked up and started pulling him down, I dived in to the water and swam towards him. The current was strong pushing me back towards the beach it was hard but I reached him and pulled him towards the beach where I heard a distant scream.

People crowded around as his mother held his hand with a tear stricken face and fear in her eyes while a stranger preformed CPR, the boy coughed and the water came spurring out of his mouth . I let out a sigh of relief. That's when jake grabbed a hold of my arm and started pulling me away.

"what are you doing" I asked

"your eyes Alice their gold not blue remember, they won't understand and we will be exposed"

I allowed Jane to pull me away from the scene at the beach. He was right my eyes turned gold when I tapped into the power of the wolf in me. I walked slow taking in the information of the past hour of my life, I ran from home even though I was grounded until my dying day, I was getting grounded a lot lately, my life was spinning in all different directions but right now that was something I needed do reflect on later. Right now, I just had a vision of the future.

I walked a little faster and slowly started to run, Jake was ahead of me, I don't think he grasped that I saw the future. The excitement hit me even more and I ran faster to catch up with him. When I got next to him he had his deep in thought brooding face going .

"jake what's wrong?"

"I don't understand what just happened Alice, you saved a kid from drowning, but it's like you know what was going to happen, exactly where to go, where to look, you knew didn't you before it happened you knew?"

"yes I did...... up on the cliff I saw it and part of me just had a feeling that it hadn't happened yet like I still had time to change the outcome"

Jacob kept his brooding face on as if he was deep in thought. We walked in silence for a long time.

He suddenly stopped but we couldn't have been to far from Sams cabin.

"I don't like this. I don't like this at all. Your my best friend and I can't help but want you to remain that normal best friend that isn't part of this world this crazy Ness of vampires and wolves. But I love that you are because I get to share this part of my self with you. And how much I know my heart is taken by another I can't help but want you and love you in a way I've never felt for you"

I stood silent not knowing what to say, I felt that I needed more from him then just the love I had for him as my friend. He groaned and kissed me. A passionate I want you now kind of kiss. It was electric. I wanted him so much, I wanted him to touch me to keep kissing me.

Then suddenly I didn't want any of it anymore.

I pulled away from him with so much guilt over what had just happened. We stood for a moment staring at each other but not touching each other, guilt filled his eyes. The connection between us dimmed to a low buzz and it wasn't the first time the connection between us didn't feel as strong as it just did.

Then I turned and looked away from Jake "it's you"

I said to an awkward looking seth as he stood not knowing were to look.

"Emm what's me? He asked

" your always around when the connection between me and jake doesn't feel as strong as confusing."

"it's confusing all right" jake and seth said at the same time

"okay, look yes it was a passionate kiss but it meant nothing right it's just the fact that we are linked together that's making us confused about how we feel and what we want. Can't we pretend that it didn't happen?"

"I have to tell nessie I can't keep this from her"

"I understand. Seth will just have to be around when we are together"

"why me?" seth asked

"because when your around that pull me and Jake feel isn't as strong as it is when your not here I don't know why but it just is, I guess you keep me grounded."

"that makes no sense at all but whatever ill do it as long as it means I'm not walking on yous kissing like that when I know how much Ness means to jake"

"very well" I said and started walking towards sans cabin. That kiss had me a little more confused then I would like to admit. I feel guilty about it but not sorry because I enjoyed it. Thing is I didn't know if that meant I loved jake more then a best friend or if it was this connection playing mind games on both of us? But I know how much an imprint means and how strong it is. I guess only time will tell.
