Dark Sunlight

Alone

Rene's POV

It's been days since I've heard from Jacob. I've talked to his dad Billy a few times and he's said Jacob was never home when I'd call for him. I'm worried about him. I wonder if he's ok. Or if he's still in town. I wonder if his dad told him what I was and that's why he hasn't come back to see me. I know we've only known each other for less than a week but I could feel something for him, something more than what I felt for my last boyfriend. When we had hung out I felt safe and protected. Like no matter what happened he would be there to save me. I want him. I miss him... I love him. Omg I can't believe I'm saying this but I really do love him.

The past couple days I've sat by the phone just waiting for his call. I didn't want to go out anywhere if he came to look for me or if he called or something. Charlie said that he had done this to Bella once before. That he out of nowhere started to ignore her, never took her calls or come to see her. But in the end they became friends again. So maybe that's whats happening with me and Jacob now. I just hope we become more than friends.

"Rene just face it, he's not gonna call you any time soon. Why don't you go out? I'll take you to the movies or the mall or something. I can drop you off give you some money and you can go and enjoy yourself." Charlie said as he took a sip from his coffee mug mom got him for his birthday.

"Grandpa Charlie, do you know what its like to go out to the movies alone? I'd rather just stay home and watch TV." I said to him while I grabbed a cup of coffee for myself.

"Maybe you could make some friends while you're here. Wait a minute I know someone you can hang out with. Shes a few years younger than you but she has the same personality as you. You'll have lots of fun with her. Let me go make a call. Don't make any excuses I want you to go out and have some fun." he walked to the phone on the wall and started to dial some numbers. I wonder who he was going to call. Gosh I hope it's not that ten-year old from down the street.

"hey there Billy its Charlie. I was calling to ask you about one of those young girls from your reservation. I think her names Claire. I was wondering if you could talk to her and see if she would want to hang out with Rene this afternoon... yeah well she's been home these past couple days waiting for Jacob to call her and I think if I don't get her out of the house soon that she'll just bore herself to death waiting on him... oh well alright, I'll drop off Rene on 1st beach, just tell Claire to meet her there... yeah sure I'll be sure to bring my fishing pole. I'll see you later Billy... alright you too. Bye." he turned to look at me as he hung up the phone.

"now I know you don't know her but I'm pretty sure you'll get along just fine. now go get ready he said she'd meet you on 1st beach at La push in an hour and a half."

"But Charlie what are we gonna do on the beach its freezing cold out here." he comes up to me shaking some keys toward me. They look familiar. I jump up and scream. "OMG! Charlie are these my keys?"

"Yes they are. your parents sent your car down here just yesterday. They thought you would be embarrassed of being driven around in a cop car."

He threw the keys to me and I run outside. There it was. My Evo 8. It looks like Uncle Emmett had been messing around with it while I was gone. Its got a new paint job and it looks so wonderful. He'd painted it a bright red. I ran up to my car and jumped inside and turned it on and pressed the gas petal. It roared so loud Charlie came out to check on me. I laughed and smiled every time the engine roared. I loved the sound of my car. I couldn't wait to get back out on the road.

"Now Rene, your mother told me about all those speeding tickets you've had in the past. Just cause I'm your grandpa and a police officer doesn't mean you can speed down any road around here without a single worry about being stopped. Now while your here you're going to drive by the speed limit or right under. The roads here are very slipper cause it rains a lot so you've got be extra careful."

"Its ok grandpa, you don't have to worry about me, I'm always extra careful on roads I haven't driven on before."

I drove myself down to La Push on 1st beach and met up with this girl that my grandpa had known. We talked for a while and decided we might go shopping in Port Angeles. She was kind of quiet at first but then when I asked if she had a boyfriend she wouldn't stop talking. It was like this guy was her whole life. His name was Quil Aterea. I had never heard a name like that before but who was I to judge. My name was just a made up name by my mom. She mentioned how her boyfriend would soon be leaving to go back to Canada with his friends. He had only come down here for a short visit and then he was going to leave at the end of the week.

We shopped at a few stores and bought some shoes and she got herself a new outfit. A nice flirty top and short shorts. She said there was going to be somewhat of a party tonight that her boyfriend and his friends were throwing. She said if I wanted I could tag along. But then that would mean trying to fine something to wear. If I was going to try and forget about Jacob then I would need to find a new guy to help me with it. I told Claire about the situation but didn't mention Jacob's name. She said that it would be a great idea todress up super sexy to impress one of her guy friends who's name was Seth. He was going to be in town until the end of the week. He had come down to visit with her boyfriend. We rummaged through the racks to find me something super cute when I came across a really cute corset halter top in a dark red. I tried to look for some black jeans to go along with it but there was nothing. We went to the next store and that's where I found a pair of high waisted black jeans and some super cute biker chick boots.

After hours of shopping Claire and I went back to her place to get ready. Her parents weren't home so she invited her boyfriend over so he could walk us to the party. I let my hair down with light waves in it. Claire wore her hair up in a neat ponytail but then Quil undid it while we were walking. I heard him tell her how he didn't like her hair up and that she should just keep it down.

When we got to the party I immediately noticed someone that I knew. It was Jacob. He was over by the food talking to some guys that looked oddly a lot like him. Tall and tan with lots of muscle and what seemed to be a similar tattoo on their right arms. Now that I think of it. Quil looks a lot like them too. Even the tattoo. I decided I would walk over to the soda cooler to grab a drink and see if he would recognize me. As soon as I got near them I heard faint growls. It kind of scared me but I tried to stay calm. I walked past Jacob while looking straight at him. He didn't even glance at me. It was like I wasn't even there. I was so hurt that he ignored me that I ran into the nearest room and cried my eyes out. I can't believe I felt such a huge connection with a guy who's now ignoring me. I'm just glad I didn't give him anything that I would regret. I heard Claire knock on the door asking to come in. I opened it and she ran in asking what had happened. I told her how I walked past Jacob and he ignored me. She was in so much shock that I hadn't told her it was him who I had been talking about all day. She mentioned something about how he was always an asshole to the girls around here who would try to flirt with him.

It kind of made me feel better about not being the only one this has happened to but I still wanted to know why he was doing this. My feelings were hurt and I wanted an explanation. We walked out of the room and back to party. I saw Jacob across the room and I stomped my way over to him. I tried to control my strength so I wouldn't break the wooden flooring. I stood in between him and one of his friends interuppting their conversation. He looked at me and just walked away. I heard his friend whisper to him 'Is that her?' HER? I have a name. Or did he not tell them my name. Was he ashamed to have liked me? What the hell was going on? I'd have to get him alone some time tonight so we could talk. Some place where he can't run off and ignore me. I had to get him alone at Billy's. He wouldn't dare run off with Billy being there. I spent the rest of my time at the party just staring him down. Claire and her boyfriend Quil were standing in a corner making out right next to me. I wanted to throw up. I knew that Quil was friends with Jacob but he never mentioned him when we had talked. Claire told me to just forget about him and move on before I would get myself hurt again. She tried to talk me into thinking he was a total DICK and to just stay away from him. But I couldn't do that. I needed to talk to him to know why. Why he was doing this to me? Why he had did this to my mom years ago? Was I just a little girl in the way of his main prize? Did he just want my mom? Or was he just trying to hide his feelings from me.

The party slowly died down and Claire, Quil and I were the only ones inside the house. I had seen Jacob leave through the back door just minutes before. I thought I would just "run" into him at his dad's. I told Claire that I had fun but that I had to go. But before I walked out the door Quil cornered me.
"I know where you're going. I know what you're trying to do. I just had to tell you. Please stay away from Jacob. It's the best for both of you right now." He whispered in my ear.

I tried to escape but he still had me trapped. What did he mean it was the best for us? Was there something going on that I didn't know? Is it something I shouldn't know or something I wasn't ready to know?

"What do you mean by that?" I asked him.

"Just, try and keep a safe distance from him when you're here. If you don't someone could get hurt. Don't ask anymore questions. It's all on a need to know bases. Once Jacob's ready he'll tell you whats going on." He said as he walked back toward Claire.

They waved good bye as they walked out through the back door. Quil practically scared the shit out of me. But really if someone was going to get hurt it would be Jacob. With my abnormal strength I could take on anyone. Well maybe not my uncle Emmett but just about any Human. I ran out of the small shack like house and ran to Billy's. When I got there I saw a man standing at the door. It wasn't Billy since there was no wheelchair. It also wasn't Jacob. He looked much older. Maybe his late 20's. He was just leaning on the door blocking my way.

"Excuse me, but I'm here to see Billy Black." I said as he looked at me. I heard a huff come from him then a short growl. What was up with this guy?

"Billy's not here, niether is Jacob." He said.

I looked over to the window and the lights were off.

"Well where is Billy?" I asked.

He walked closer to me and sniffed the air around me. His growl became even louder. I felt scared. What was going on? I could hear him mumble something that I didn't quite understand. I slowly started to walk back down from the small porch. He kept moving closer and closer. His body started to shake and I heard him growl again. I see hair spurting out of every inch of his body. Claws growing out of his hands that were quickly turning into paws. Seconds later he was no longer a man. He was big Black Wolf. I screamed and he pinned me to the ground and started to growl at me and bark. I was scared. I kept screaming and screaming for help. Then out of no where. A big Russet colored wolf jumped on top of him pulling him away from me. I gasped and ran to the back garage of Billy's house. I nearly tripped on a few random tools and just sat there behind the garage door. I was scared to death practically had a heart attack. I clutched my hand to my heart feeling it race more than normal. I heard barks and howls and random thuds coming from outside. I wanted to run but I didn't know if it was safe.
