Strong blood

Its been a few days after what happened in the forest. Jake explained that this town held hidden secrets, and I started learning that the rumors were actually the truth.

We were sitting on one of the tree branches, when Jake froze. "Saraphina dont move."He whispered and jumped down.

"Jake, where are you going?" I yelled, but the only response I got was a death stare from him.

"I can smell you, come out."Jake said dangerously.

I heard clapping, then saw Gus coming out of the trees. "Bravo, being a dog must have its perks huh?" He joked, but his voice didn't have the same humor. Something was wrong.

"Jake can you please bring me down so I can punch him for that comment?"I asked nicely smiling at Gus.

"I told you to not move." He didn't even turn around.

Gus smirked, "Nice to see you to Bella."

I broke a piece of the tree branch and threw it at him with a smile on my face

"What are you doing here? Are you following her around now?"

"Imma cut to the chase dog, you know whats coming right?" Gus asked no humor found in his voice. Jake didn't even nod but his face gave it away that he knew. "Do you really think you can protect her?"

I jumped down from the branch thinking Id land smoothly just like Jake did. But I found myself in Gus arms. "Are you an idiot? Jumping down like that?"

I pushed him away, "Well you two wouldn't come get me. Now what is going on here! someone explain. Cause lately none of you have been telling me the truth."

Jake pulled on my hand, and stood in front of me. "Its nothing Phina. Don't worry about it."

"Are you really not gonna trust me? I just saved her life."Gus said.

I sighed, "Since Jake isn't telling me anything, Gus will you please explain?"

"There's nothing to explain Phina." Jake pulled my hand and started walking away.

"Jake." That was the first time I had ever heard one of them call each other by their real name.

That stopped Jake in his track. Gus continued, "I know you care about her. But so do I. She has strong blood, very strong. They will come for her. At least meet us at midnight so we can talk about it?" With that he vanished again.

We were sitting on the porch later that night, waiting for the clock to hit midnight. I looked at Jacob. "Jake?" I asked softly. He didn't move his eyes from the star. "I know you don't want to go, but I want to know whats happening. I feel like your not telling me to protect me. But," I grabbed his hand. "you know what I say, destiny is already written Jake. We cant change it. I'm already in this, that means I was meant to be in it." I heard him sigh.

"I'm so scared, that once you know the truth, your going to leave, going to think of me differently."

I smiled, "I already know your a cute werewolf, and I'm still here aren't I?" I whispered.

He shook his head, "That's not what I'm worried about Phina."

"You know the reason I want the truth is, so you can get whatever it is off your chest." With that the clock stroke 12. Jake picked me up and run to where we were just a few hours ago.

He put me down and I grabbed his hand. "Its okay." I whispered. He stared into my eyes.

"What would I do without you?"

I looked down blushing, "Probably be lost."

"We can come back later if you guys want." Gus chuckled.

Jake smirked and whispered, "We're gonna continue this later."

Perz POV

"You want to do what?"Nicolas asked.

"I'm not repeating myself, you heard what I said." Gus replied.

Nicolas laughed, "Are you out of your mind? We cant bring a human with us. Even if we do, why should we protect her?"

"Cause shes my friend Nicole, just like you are."

"Your not thinking straight, shes a human." Nicolas shook his head and look at me.

I hadn't said anything yet. The it was a human, yes. But why did I feel like this towards her? I couldn't imagine thinking of her getting hurt. Id murder, rip them into shreds whoever touched her- I mean it.

"You okay Perz?"Gus asked.

"She ain't one of us" but I wanted to save her. I had been dreading these months coming closer, thinking someone would have a chance to harm her. I had went through every possible situation where I could keep her safe but nothing had came to my mind. I couldn't go up to her and tell her how crazy drawn I was to her and I needed to keep her safe.

"Perz, you know shes going to die? And your just going to let it happen, while you can stop it?Now this one time I actually make a friend outside of our kind, your going to ruin it? The human has a name, Saraphina. And I don't care what you say, Imma protect her because shes my friend. I would do the same to you and Nicole." With that he left the room.

"Do you think his in love with her?" Nicolas asked, making me crack my knuckles.

"No, I read his mind. He cares about it, but as friends." I responded.

"His not going to stop." Nicolas pointed out.

"I know." I played with the ring around my finger. "Lyda!" I yelled and in came a girl."Go and tell Gus that we will meet them at midnight please."

Later that night ....

"Ready?" Gus asked.

"Does that dog have to be there to?" Nicolas complained.

"He's like her bodyguard." Gus answered back.

I bit my lip, trying to push the jealousy down.

"He wont let her come with us." Nicolas said.

Shes coming with us, doesn't matter if he lets her or not.

We ran to the forest, and stopped when we went threw the trees and started walking.

"You know, she really does have strong blood. One of the strongest Ive seen." Nicolas pointed out.

With that we keep on walking in silence, until I felt someone elses' dirty thoughts in my head. That dog! I ran, I could hear Gus and Nicole yelling but right now I didn't care. I ran until I saw the dogs face inches away from the the humans face. Next thing I knew Gus was adding on to their moment.

I froze, I was burning with jealousy. I wanted to tear him limb from limb and feed his bones to animals. I clutched my hands tightly. They separated, but the humans face was still bright. I looked at the dogs face, he had a smirk. I was just about to whip that smirk off his face, when I felt Nicoles' hand on my arm. He knew I was going to murder him if I didn't calm down.

"We can come back later if you guys want." Gus chuckled.

Which made the dog smirk even more. Without thinking, I punched the freaking tree, cutting it in half and making it fall. "Enough!"
