Dark Sunlight

Family Forever

Jacob's POV

It's been a few days now since we've moved here to Vancouver. We like it here and it's a very welcoming place. Embry and his imprint have been talking on the phone none stop. She still hasn't told him about how she's engaged. I don't think she's going to leave her fiancé for Embry just yet. But I do think Embry is going to try hard to fight for her once he knows about their engagement. I'm just hoping he doesn't hurt himself when he finds out.

 

Leah has been acting all bitchy about Embry having imprinted on someone. We all knew she had a thing for him for a while. If we couldn't read each other's minds when we were wolfs then we wouldn't have ever found out. Embry felt bad for her, we all felt bad. We still had no idea if she could imprint or not. It was said in our legends of the Quileute tribe that imprinting on someone was very rare. So far we'd seen three of our friend's imprint, so it wasn't as rare as they said. Sometimes I wished I would imprint on someone. Just to have that joy of knowing my soul mate and who I would spend the rest of my life with. That one person I would risk my life for again and again. Yet there was a chance I would never imprint. Thinking about all this was making me sick.

 

The guys were out trying to find something interesting to do and I was stuck here at the house with Leah. I felt like going with them but Seth asked me to stay and keep an eye on her cause he thought she might do something stupid. I knew if I had left she would probably call Embry's imprint and tell her to back off, or maybe she'd even leave and go stalk her.

 

Leah walked into the living room and sits right next to me on the couch. "What's up Jake? Why didn't you leave with the rest of the pack?" I didn't want to tell her I was there to watch her. So I lied.

 

"I just wasn't up for anything today, felt like staying in."

"Yeah right Jake." She said while she rolled her eyes at me. "I'm going to go out for a run. Howl if you need me."

 

She walked out the back door and I heard her phase. I didn't go after her because I knew she just wanted to be alone. It was still pretty early and I had nothing to do. I decided that I was going to call my dad for the first time in years since I ran away. 

 

Ring… ring… ring… ring… You have reached Billy Black I'm not here at the moment I'm probably out fishing please leave a message after the beep. BEEP…

 

 He didn't answer, I guess he must be out fishing. I had really wished at that moment that I had given him a cell phone. I missed talking to him. I'd get to see him in a few days but I'd have to keep my distance. I didn't want him trying to convince me to stay home. I don't want to go back to that place. It has too many memories of the one person I loved the most. Sure most of the memories were good, but there's a bad one that really hurt me and makes me want to stay away. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Racing up to the Cullen's house. I had been listening in on Seth's thoughts as he'd been keeping watch on them. I heard him say he saw Edward bite Bella. I knew what that had meant. He was changing her like she had asked him. When I had gotten to their house Seth was still was still watching. He said I shouldn't look, that I didn't want to see what was happening. Then I had heard Sam's orders to come back to the reserve. He didn't want us here near her while this was happening. He thought she'd change quickly and would want to hurt us as soon as she was fully changed. I didn't want to leave I wanted to stay and see her. But then I felt this horrible anger at Edward for having giving in to what she wanted. I wanted to rip his head off and burn him into ashes. I knew if I did that then maybe Bella would go after me and I'd be dead. So I then thought that I'd just run away from her, from this, from everything. And that's how I ended up living with the pack in Alaska and now here in Canada.
