The Unusual Events In The Life Of Chance Lively (Jasper Hale - 1)

Chapter nine - Hunting Party

"We'll go and see the man on the moon
My girl we've got nothing to lose"

~ George Ezra "Hold My Girl"

The previous night had been Jacob's welcome to the pack and Paul had stepped down from third so he could work on his anger issues with Chance who was having better control than him at the moment and Jared had decidedly stepped down to third so so Jacob could take the Beta as his ancestor had been the Alpha before Sam was.

Currently, Emily, Jacob and Chance were sitting in Emily's kitchen, looking at clothes that they could buy for Jacob out of Sam's money for back up clothing.

"Oh, i'd wear that!" Chance cheered, pointing at a pair of men's jogging bottoms that Jacob had pointed out.

Despite it already being three days since Jacob first heard Chance speak, he was finding it difficult to actually get used to her voice. To the boys - just like Emily's - her voice was angelic.

Emily gave Chance a weird look. "Thank god I don't leave your clothing choice up to you and the boys.. you'd be walking around looking like you're actually a guy." She giggled and Chance gestured down to her outfit that she had picked out herself; a Black boobtube bra with an acid dyed dungaree-shorts combo along with her usual work boots.

"I have a great sense of fashion." She pointed out.

Jacob grinned cheekily at her, "she does not! I've been round her house before where she was wearing the exact same t shirt that she wore the week before when I visited, Charlie insisted that she hadn't changed out of it in a week. She was too busy sulking to Change."

Emily have Chance a weird look, "why was she sulking?" She asked, seeing Chance's eyes narrow in warning towards Jacob.

"Don't you dare-."

"She was upset because Charlie refused to let her go hunting with him and Harry." Emily gave her a look that ranged from 'really?' To 'what the hell?'. Chance merely shrugged.

"Protesting for the disabled." She hummed, adding a few items to the basket. "Like it's a necessity for Sam to buy Bobby a new toy because Sam has been neglecting my adorable baby, hasn't he?" Chance cooed, jumping off her stool to play with Bobby who was laying a couple feet away, clearly bored.  Emily agreed before joining Chance, causing Jacob to roll his eyes before sitting on the floor with the two girls to play with the fluffy golden retriever who happily bounced between them all, gladly retrieving balls that they threw.

"Vampire." Sam called out, shooting all their heads up in the general direction of Sam. "Shift as soon as possible." Sam ordered, causing Jacob and Chance to quickly flick off their shoes.

Jacob didn't care and immediately shifted into his Russet-Brown wolf and waited for Chance who threw off her dungarees in the middle of the kitchen, telling Emily what Sam had told them before sprinting off onto the Forrest and shifting as she ran, quickly charging past Jacob who started running the moment she was in all fours.

"Who's coming then?" Sam demanded, not seeing Chance closing in on him and the red headed agile vampire in front of them.

"I've got your left!" She announced, flanking his left, whilst Jacob flanked her left.

Jared and Paul appeared, "I've got your right!" Jared announced, flanking his right with Paul flanking his right. "Where's Embry? We could use the extra help!"

They heard Embry's wolfish laugh, "I'm taking a shortcut!" Suddenly, over a rocky ledge that separated the lands of the Cullen's from the Rez, Embry launched himself down, knocking the red head off course just in time for Chance to speed up and pounced on her.
