Her golden hair tickled my skin as she slumped into me. Her face was ashen white and chalky. Her skin was covered in goosebumps. This was why I picked who I trusted carefully. This was why I hated Brook. "Is she alright?" the Jacob hunk asked me.
"Aside from being in shock and unconscious, she seems fine to me. Don't overcrowd her though." I gave Brook a stern look and hoped he felt bad for what he had done. Nobody does this to one of my friends and gets away with it.
"What? Don't look at me like that. I didn't do anything. It was all him." He pointed a spindly finger towards Jacob and began to mess with his hair. Thomas rushed over, Teresa in tow.
"Thank you Newt! She needed a friend." He expressed his gratitude by smothering me with a hug which was severely pushed off with my lame excuse that Rose needed air...
A few minutes later, she was breathing slowly but rapidly and her eyes began to flicker. "What's the matter?" She asked me groggily.
"You fainted." Her mouth made an 'O' shape as she realised and remembered. And boy did she remember with style.
"Brook? Come here a minute." He came over, like a dog with a lost bone.
"Yes? Are you alright?" She smiled and told him to bend down to where she was lying. That's when she slapped him. Proper and hard. But he did not seem to be in pain - more in shock and embarrassment than anything. Good old Rose! You could always count on her to do some thing like that.
"It's not me you should be slapping, it's him." At first I thought he meant me; what had I done? But then I realised, it was meant for Jacob who was sitting calmly on the grass, his hand rubbing Rose's back. She glanced at him lovingly and turned back towards Brook.
"Why?"
"He's the dog. He's the werewolf." She stared wide eyed at Brook and then looked at Jacob.
"You're lying, Brook. Is he lying Jake?" Jake?! Jake?! Jake?! Nicknames now? She moved fast.
"Well....uh.....um.." He stuttered. "He isn't lying, but at least I don't hurt humans on purpose. Can I show you?" She nodded slowly and looked at me, scared. Bending down, I gave her a slight hug and I could feel her breathing more rapidly now. Any second. Jacob prepared and gathered himself whilst Sam and Leah looked on in disgust and worry. Any second now.
He ripped out of his shorts and turned into a wolf. His fur was a deep brown with long, sturdy legs. His teeth reflected the light of the sun as he grew to be twice the height of me. Any second. Rose flinched and faltered beneath my touch. Soon.
Then it happened. Once again, she was dead for the world - and I couldn't blame her.
