RETURN OF THE WIND : Jacob & Renesmee

40. BENT IN THE UNDERGROWTH🌲

TITLE MEANING:-
SOMETHING THAT MYSTERIOUS AHEAD

Jacob

The leaves had change to speckles of orange, red and yellow that fall apart from the tree. But is it something what they want ? Do they want to get ripped off from the wellspring of life each time with the "Return of the wind" ? Until only those thin brown weak branches is left with no strengthen.

Surely the leaves abandon the tree in fall, but they couldn't resist when the spring lure them to the blooming colour of the flower & the pink serene blush.

It might become cold in the winter, but eventually it returns back to the summer spring.

I hit my paws against the edge of the boundary wondering how and when will the tree bloom with it's leaves again. The wheel of nature, seems like my own life? How ?

"Jacob, Could you stop wondering about . . .things in your head? We are here with an important task." Embry yell in my thoughts, his paws rubbed against the dry soil.

I couldn't control all my thoughts over my head, although I know it's pointless. I thought. I continued walking down the woods, except for a few spotlights of moonlight over the trees.

What do you think about it? She says.

No! Is it her voice? I shook my head trying to shake away myself back to reality. Am I hallucinating? No? The pumping flash in my ribs thud loud. Her voice felt so real. . . that sounded so strangely melodic?

"Jacob~" Leah thought, her words strong and tightened. Her words blend through my bones that shook them hard.

No. Not this time.I'm not hallucinating anymore?! But I couldn't deny that her soft words comforted me as I heard it now, it was real. Why is this happening with me?!

"It's not only you, Jacob. She's here-", Embry said. A look of shock was plastered on the each one of our face. What was she doing here? What had happened?

Horrible thoughts coursed through my mind.But before they would get the best of me, I ran over to Leah my mind strained to the picture of her. The anxiety and fear grab me dry by my mouth, I don't panic anymore.

I've been there before, I know the feeling, and knowing it makes it less scary - I pretend to be stronger in front of her, and instead of letting it take me down, I tell myself everything will be alright.

Seriously? Huh? She talks into air again.

My eyes stretch wide, as if it's protesting to blink because they wouldn't want to even let go of even a bit of it.I reach by her, and squeak when I realise that she was waiting for an answer. What's happening?! Who she's talking to?!

"Something's wrong?! " Seth thought, his words made another shiver jolt down spine. I had no idea what was she doing?!

She chuckled that seems as more of a reply. Into this thin air what's that she finds funny, Does she even know we are here?! Perhaps it is the moonlight making her skin so pale ,and of the lack of wind letting every hair hang without movement, But it seems like she had went off to her own world, where no one else existed. She don't even blink, she just kept....... talking.

"Jacob asks her what's wrong?! " Embry shook his head, as he nudged his head against my frozen body.

"Yeah" I turned around heavy courses of thoughts fills my mind, and that's not the good ones. I'm sure of this accurate feeling of something's not right and needs to be fixed. I jogged back shrugging myself into usual cutoffs.

Every thing seemed paused, as if it's held on the very moment and if disturbed this all would fall apart, she stood the words leaping out of her mouth and her eyes set on the air as if it whispers secrets to her.

"Ness~" I touch her wrist,her eyebrows furrowed slightly but within the fraction of second it smoothed out, her stillness scared me . The anxiety builds in me curling my stomach and weakens everything inside me and I thought I might explode again with the building curiosity within me- I take a deep breath.

"RENESMEE?!" I shake her by her hand softly.

Her eyes shifts to me, as if she has been ripped off from her own fantasy world and now fills her in with confusion just enough to get know where in the reality she really was. A huge puff of wind escape out her mouth .

In those frozen seconds we could hear the crunch of dried twigs under her boot as she step back.

"Jacob?! " She whispered, either the words got choked into her throat, or she couldn't take in whatever she saw right now. I hoped it's not the later.

"What are you doing here?!" I leaned in closer to her, my eyes locked into her.

I'm not sure if I'd say she was classically beautiful, but her large eyes held such an intelligence and serenity that it was impossible for me not to be held prisoner by them.

"I-I..... I think I got lost, here" She choked hard. And I knew she was lying!

"Stop lying, Ness" The words came out sterned, I wanted to shout. I wanted to vent, let it out, but I don't want to say words I don't mean, be hurtful to her, not again after this morning.

I tremble hard, but I' had my control, my hands grip her close to look deep into her eyes that had words written over it, but this russet solidity hides it now. Why?

"I-I'm not lying, okay. " She shifts un-easely underneath my touch,"I said, uh,I got lost here in the woods. I-I was hunting."

I smirked. WoW! Does she think that I would believe this?! On the damn hunt?! Huh?! Her hands struggled against my grip tightened, her eyes settled with layer of tears. My gaze grew strained into her, as those glance threatens to melt away my anger.

"You can't fool me, Renesmee. You do know that~" I held my breathe. "Huh! Few months can't change years of things."

It's just so easy to be cruel in that moment and then the damage is done. So many times I've wanted to unsay things, take it back.But I don't see myself learning how to deal with it.

"That's right. But I'm sure it had changed you, Jake.It had took root in your insecurities~" She said, her words stab at my weakened heart, piercing right through it. "And had made you trust less~"She jerk her hand away, as she gulped down hardly.

I pursed my lip, trying to take in those words that had just lept out of her for me.

"Jacob, I don't know what had changed you so much, but keep this in mind, it had changed other's in the same way." She says, and turned around, giving me a last angry glare, she walked off. The heels of her boots crunched the set of leaves as I stood there listening to it.

. . . Hoping once she'd turn, and look at me, with the same eyes (now changed) but once it never thought off lying to me.

She knew something was wrong with her! I knew something was wrong with!

But we both was unsure about what?

The well of darkness engulfed her in, but my eyes didn't drop off her.
