章節 11: chapter 11 : Imminent danger
The next day, Jacob checked Bella's house and memorized the Vampires scent but spotted nothing else. He went out to find Bella and Edward waiting outside.
Jacob: He didn't really leave any other clues besides his scent but it's very strong. He will die next time he comes back here but the problem remains his potential friends.
Edward: Bella will be the main target.
Jacob: It's obvious. The wolves will help watch this place at night when you go hunting, you won't be able to keep up the pace yourself. I'll talk to the pack.
Edward: Thank you…Jacob.
Bella: It's nice to see that there's less animosity between you.
Jacob: I'm doing it for Charlie, Bella. He doesn't deserve all this and especially without his knowledge. Me or another wolf will keep you company from the afternoon until the evening when Edward goes hunting.
Bella: You won't be available often?
Jacob: I have other concerns Bella and also because of this new vampire who came to the area, Seth and his sister Leah transformed in front of Harry their father who had an attack.
Bella: Oh my god Jacob! He is fine ?
Jacob: He was in his bed yesterday when he sent me at the Cullens. He died this very morning and his children feel guilty, it's up to me to take care of them.
Bella: I hope they're okay.
"It'll be okay, I'll take care of them like I took care of you." he said as he got on his motorbike and then left.
Edward: He's definitely become different from our first interactions, Alice told us what he did with them here and I don't think I can measure up.
Bella: Does that scare you...?
Edward: No...there's no trace of rivalry in his eyes, it's as if...his feelings for you and his grievance towards me have become nonexistent.
Bella:...I know...it's strange for me too.
The days passed and everything happened as Jacob said and without any problem between the two camps.
He took care of the case of Leah and Seth but especially Seth because he was the youngest and Jacob had promised his father to watch over him.
However, that wasn't his only concern, rumors of murders and disappearances were echoing in Seattle and he was worried about Danielle so he invited her to stay a few days even though she kept telling him that everything was fine.
Tonight there was an assembly in the storeroom and Bella had been invited by Billy and since Embry had escorted her all afternoon and evening, he was the one who took her there.
She asked after Jacob but they told her he was busy elsewhere with his girlfriend which caused a pang in Bella's chest, she asked a few questions but Billy started telling the legends of the tribe and their first encounter with vampires.
Jacob for his part was in the camper van with Danielle to enjoy each other's presence, he had learned to love the girl, she was available, kind, beautiful and very good company.
Three days later, Jacob came to escort Bella himself so that Edward could feed. The vampire thanked Jacob before leaving, he had a strange confidence in him since he no longer had any interest in Bella. Jacob took Bella on his motorcycle and she decided to loosen her tongue while he rode.
Bella: Quil told me you had a girlfriend.
Jacob: That's right. And ?
Bella: Why didn't you tell me?
Jacob: What's the point?
"Well...I'm your friend...you...could have told me" She said looking for a reason.
Jacob: Just because we're friends doesn't mean we have to say certain things to each other. You hid from me that your boyfriend was a vampire, didn't you? What are you complaining about? It doesn't make sense.
Bella: It's true...you're right and besides...it's none of my business. By the way, what are we going to do today?
Jacob: We're going to have a little fun, I'm going to take you for a walk with Seth, it will do him good too.
Bella: Some kind of hike?
Jacob: You'll see.
They arrived at the storeroom where Seth was already waiting impatiently for Jacob to take him, the others greeted Bella and Jacob took them. Arriving at a clearing in the forest, he looked at Bella.
Jacob: Once I transform, you will climb on my back and you will hold on tight to my fur, don't worry I won't go too fast. (looks at Seth) That's when you want Seth.
At this signal, Seth immediately changed into a wolf and Jacob did the same. Bella looked at the huge dark brown wolf and Seth was very small in comparison.
She hesitated to approach him but Jacob nodded at her before coming to lick her hand to tell her that she had nothing to fear.
In the end, she got on his back and Jacob started running at a steady speed with Seth and Bella on his back who was scared at first and started to love it after a certain point.
The wind, the speed, the nature passing by and Jacob's stability added to his balance gave Bella the feeling that she was flying between the trees.
They toured the area before returning to the reservation.
Bella was quite happy with what she had experienced, it reminded her of her activities with Jacob when Edward had disappeared, he always knew what to do to give her memorable moments.
Finally, after a while, graduation day arrived and that same evening the party organized by Alice at the Cullens took place, there were a lot of people.
Bella and the others were enjoying the party when a motorcycle and a car arrived.
Jacob got off his motorcycle with Danielle and out of the car came Embry, Quil and Seth who was very excited about the party.
Jacob had taken them so that they could find out more closely who the Cullens were but also to enjoy the party a little, the reserve is cool but boring sometimes.
Carlisle and Esme came to welcome them, Esme of course was very happy that Jacob accepted her invitation.
He introduced them to Danielle and the boys, the couple only knew them in their wolf bodies but they realized that they were really young.
"Bella is upstairs with her friends" Esme said and Jacob thanked her.
Once upstairs, they didn't see Bella right away so they took advantage of the evening a little. Jacob danced a little with Danielle and all eyes were on them, the boys also brought a little atmosphere and the party received heat stroke with them.
There was even an eating contest between Quil and Embry which impressed everyone after Embry's victory, the werewolves had a particular appetite.
Of course, the Cullens noticed them and even Emmett was part of the crowd cheering them on. Esme saw the boys having fun at the party and somehow it touched her.
Bella accompanied by Edward found Jacob and Danielle sitting somewhere outside in a quiet place so they came to find them.
Jacob made the introductions and Bella understood why Jacob was no longer interested in her, Danielle looked totally stunning.
They talked for a bit before Carlisle came to urgently call Jacob, Edward and Bella because Alice had just had a vision.
Jacob told Danielle to wait for him for a while and he asked the boys to follow him into Carlisle's office where the others were already
There, Alice explained to them that the stranger vampire was gathering a large number of newborn vampires and that he had made them sniff Bella's red sweater so they were going to leave Seattle to move towards them.
They eventually learned the identity of the foreign vampire and it was Riley Biers, a youngster who had been missing for a while but this guy had no connection to Bella.
Carlisle: There's clearly someone behind this story.
Alice: I couldn't find out who it was, the person remained in the shadows.
Edward: Maybe it's the Volturi.
Alice: Impossible, I can predict Aro's decisions.
Jacob: It can only be this redhead then. Think about it, she went back and forth several times but each time she was rejected. She was more comfortable with her companions and alone, she is vulnerable so she certainly raised an army through someone. This guy has no apparent connection to Bella so someone sent him there and it can only be her.
Bella: I think he's right, it can only be Victoria.
Jacob: All his trips to provoke us were to find out our vampire and wolf contingent to raise this army of young psychopathic vampires.
Jasper: That makes sense. But it's going to be terrible, it's an army of newborns.
Jacob: And what does that imply?!
Carlisle: A difficult fight, lives sacrificed. Newborns of our species are at the peak of their power during the first months because their tissues are still infused with their human blood.
Embry: That doesn't scare us, we've never been afraid to face those of your kind.
Jasper: You should though.
Carlisle: (looks at Jacob) Jacob, Alice told me what happened and how you took on Jasper, Emmett and her with ease. We need your strength.
Jacob: Do you think I have a choice anyway? Forks is a small town so after Bella they will definitely ravage the surrounding area if they win against you. For innocent people like Charlie and those at this party, I have a duty to fight.
Carlisle: Do you think you could convince Sam and his pack to join us?
Jacob: These are our lands, the wolves will fight.
Jasper: There will be more of us and the enemies are young, they are certainly unaware of the existence of their species.
Carlisle: That gives us an advantage, we'll have to coordinate.
Bella: Carlisle, there may be deaths among the wolves...
Carlisle: We'll have to practice, Jasper has better experience with them so he'll show us.
Bella: Carlisle is too dangerous for them, they-(interrupted)
Jacob: Bella your underestimation for the strength of the wolves is borderline insulting, they will come here whether we fight or not so unless you have a miraculous plan you should just listen and hope for the best. is going well.
Edward: Jacob, she's just worried about you.
Jacob: Yeah but it's too late, time is running out and the threat is great. (looks at Carlisle) Call us when the time comes and we'll be there to find out how to deal with them.
Carlisle stepped forward to shake his hand and Jacob clasped his palm together before leaving with his brothers. He took Danielle and they left the party.
Once in their bed, inside the camper, Danielle expressed concern about returning to care for her sister in Seattle because she was sick. Jacob wanted to tell her to stay because he was worried but it was Danielle's family and he didn't have that right so he at least offered his girlfriend a ride home the next day so they fell asleep in each other's room. each other's arms.
