Naturally (A Jacob Black Fanfic) -10-

"I was scared you lost your voice before you yelled at him," Andrea commented, trying to lighten the air but no joke to lift the bitter coldness surrounding us. I breathed out and watched my own dissipate into the mountain's atmosphere. I lead her behind a tree with a wide trunk when I spotted something a few yards climbing up the slope. I couldn't tell what, it moved too quickly but I could tell it was big and I assumed it was a werewolf or even worse, the pack's leader. I couldn't see him again, not until I was sure my walls were structured right and held strong.

"Follow me," I instructed in a whisper, grabbing her wrist and guided her down the slope far from the figure. We were protected by the tall ferns and the many trees that covered our path but I knew our scent would give us away quickly so we had to rush down. "Climb up again," I demanded. Andrea gave me a confused look but the snapping of stuff sticks above us gave her motivation to climb. We didn't get far when she let out a blood curdling scream. I tried to see what cause it but she already let go of a branch and fell, taking me with her. It was a second later when my back was rammed against a log and I myself let out an even louder scream, especially with Andrea elbowing me in the stomach. She rolled over and tried to pick me up but I couldn't even bend my back with succumbing to the wave of stabbing-like sensations.

"Are you alright?" She cried out, her hands uselessly scanning over my probably bruised body. I would've used my famous sarcasm and replied Yeah, the ear splitting scream was just my mocking of you or Yes because the log felt like a pillow. Come and try it! When I tried to speak out my voice came out as a squeak, hiding the intense pain I was in.

"Hell no," I groaned. I slowly and carefully adjusted my body so I wouldn't have to use so much effort from my back area to get up but without success. I did get up but not without an unfair amount of pain. "What the hell scared you?" I asked, well more like demanded if you count the intensity of my voice. Andrea hid her face from my view and hesitated. "What!"

She muttered something I couldn't hear and demanded it again. "...A squirrel..." I gaped at her and couldn't choose between laughing and strangling her.

"Are you serious?" I yelled. "My back is killing me because you were afraid of a damn squirrel! What the hell!" That's when I lunged at the blonde. She squeaked but was too slow to get away from my rage. My hand grasped the bottom hems of her shirt and I started to drag her closer to me so I could throttle her but before I could I was pulled back by two strong arms. I squirmed and shouted as Andrea hid behind another towering body. My eyes were too filled with murder to focus on whom.

"Calm down!" My guy demanded, holding me closer so I couldn't use my arms since they were in his grasp. "Marisol!" I froze and was ready to attack this person now. I looked up, my eyes fully raging, and looked up at the familiar and just as furious face of Jacob Black.

"I'm not Marisol and let me go you asshole!" I began to kick my feet and tried to lift them in between his legs, aiming at his delicate man parts but without success. "Damn it! Let me go!"

"No," he responded, tightening his grip. I cringed in pain as the back I had forgotten about in blind rage reminded me of how sensitive it was at the moment. His grip loosened immediately when I cried out in pain.

"Marisol?" He asked again.

"Mary. Damn it, its Mary! I don't know this Marisol you're talking about but stop calling me that. No don't even call me Mary, its Agent Bowen. Now at the demand of a federal Agent let me go or else I'll charge you with assault!" Jacob let me go and grabbed the ground as if it were my lifeline. I glared at Andrea who was still hiding behind the guy I identified as Embry. I waited a second and charged in a crawl at the cowardly girl until I was tackled by I'm guessing Jacob.
