Two Worlds Collided | Jacob Black

Chapter 15

Pushing leaves and bushes that grazes my skin, I finally see the beautiful view of the ocean. I stood two steps away from the edge of the cliff. One false move, I could fall to my death and yet that's not what's on the top of my mind. 

Jacob fills every inch of my consciousness and it frustrates me how I can't get him out of my mind. Am I actually starting to like him?

No. 

I can't accept that. I won't.

Even if I did, it will never work out. I basically live at the other side of the world and I don't think I can handle that. 

As soon as I see the sun slowly gliding down right before my eyes, my mind set to ease. I admire the beauty. If only my life could be just as perfect as this sunset..

Watching this made me think of something that crosses my mind often. What would it be like if I never had the life I have now? Attending High school? Settling in an apartment? Having a part time job? 

So many possibilities swarm my mind but I pushed it aside immediately like before. Why am I thinking like this? I love my life and yeah, I do get a lot of scars physically and mentally but that's what makes who I am. I have a loving family who cares for me, even though I don't see it that way at times. Friends who annoyingly make me happy and brings me comfort. The privilege to see what mundanes can not, even though it comes to be fatal. 

My life is a mixture of being awesome yet tragic. But it is how it is. Who knows, I might become like Clary's mum- living a mundane life. Or I can continue on with my current one. Both lives are similar aside from the Shadow World; We find love, we make a family, we grow, and we die.

I don't know what I want at the moment. Even what I want to do for the next second, minute, or hour. It's so confusing and unknown that I'm considering to jump off of this cliff. I just want to know something. I somehow feel so empty. 

Alas, I see the last speck of light disappear before me. The sky filled with darkness and the stars, the only source of light above. 

I decided that I make my way back to the house. Luckily I remember the direction from where I came from. My attention wasn't fully on what I was doing, but it shifted back to Jake. I sighed loudly.

Suddenly, I heard rustling leaves and snaps from breaking twigs. My eyes widened as I saw a flash of red hair speeding towards me. Before I could react, I was thrown on the ground and out of the woods. I immediately stood up and took out my seraph blade, glowing after naming it. 

Silence.

I stood my ground, my heart beat racing as I realized where my feet touches; the cliff where I was just a minute ago. The strong waves underneath fill my ears, but still no movement in front of me.

"Stop being a coward and face me!" I shouted out of frustration.

Within a second, I see Victoria right before me. "Pathetic" she snickered before speeding towards me. I was about to side step but she grabbed my shoulder and swung me towards the woods. I feel the wind going against my back, making my hair fly around my face as I was thrown. I fell on to the dirt with a hard impact, leading my head to hit a tree trunk with sharp and rusty skin. I immediately felt pain strike my head. My eyesight twisting as I try to focus more. I see Victoria's blurry figure walking towards.  I took hold of my seraph blade that lay beside me, shutting my eyes for a second to try and focus.

I got up with much effort not to fall. I heard her chuckle out of amusement. Victoria made her way towards me as I lift my blade, ready to counter her strike but I didn't need to. I saw a wolf jump at her, pinning Victoria down. The moment she hit the ground, she swiftly pushed the wolf away, causing it to be thrown. Victoria ran off.

I expected the wolf to chase after her but it immediately came to my aid. My vision still blurry, I couldn't make out who it was. I blinked a couple of times, trying to make out the figure. I saw it shift to it's masculine human form. Obvious of the male physique, he quickly walked towards me. His features becoming more clearer.

"Hey Ivy, are you okay?"
