The Lost Seed
Jacobs POV ---- well only at the beginning...
Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months and my pack is still pleading me to come back. But I can never go back... I no longer smell the salted sea, the leechs' smell is long gone, I can't ever smell Bella...I can never be with Bella.
Money, I do not have. I fish in the nearest river whenever I get the chance. I feel like a leech scrounging for food. I disgust myself.
Winter. the coldest season of them all and I'm still running. Running from my past. Running from the truth.
What causes you to have so much pain young one? He instantly skidded to a halt. He stood in a field of pure white. The only thing that stood out was the crimson dress of a woman wearing a snow white shall that draped over her shoulders. Her hair, a light blond that almost appeared to be pearl white cascaded down her back to her waist.
The voice was not of his pack pleading for his return, but of this stranger's. It was somehow soothing to his hurt soul.
She just sat in the snow with a small bag in her hands. "Sorry. Did I startle you?", she said to me with a small smile that didn't seem to reach her eyes.
All he could do was stare, wide-eyed, at her as she was talked to him. And just to top it off he was still in wolf form!
"Ya, just a little," he murmured out in wolf-tongue.
She let out a small giggle that loosened the pain from his heart. From the thought of Bella. Jacobs eyes softened as a wolfish smile spread across his face. Her smile finally seemed to touch her eyes.
"Your funny, young one" she exclaimed after finishing her small fit of giggles.
All he could come up with was a wolf-toothed grin. She giggled a little more.
"Won't you sit with me?" She patted the spot next to her. He instantly realized that where she sat, the snow was melted away and fresh green grass had sprung up like a soft welcome mat. He hesitated to move toward her, unknowing of her true powers. Her irises held a deep violet, a truly inhuman color. He'd almost mistaken them for being black. How could he have missed such a detail.
"You are not human. What are you.", he commanded in a low growl. He stood ready to move if any sign of attack. Her eyes widened in both shock and realization for only a split second.
"Thats not a polite way to ask you know. Your surely aren't just any wolf. I've never seen a wolf your size before! Might you be were-wolf?" She had an slight twinkle of excitement in her almost emotionless eyes. He stared at her in complete confusion.
'How does she know!?!?' was what was screaming through his head.
"I know it!" she yelled in enjoyment. She pounced at him with a big smile.
All he could think to do was back away, but to no avail. He ended up butted into a tree trunk. He didn't know what to expect from the girl. All he could do was prepare for the wurst. His eyes shut tight, prepared for the pain.
He felt pressure around his neck but it was not hands trying to kill. Warm arms where snaked around his fur covered neck. He looked down to see the girl smiling, eyes closed, holding him tightly. She cuddled into him soft fur. She rested her head on his shoulder. Nestling her self deeper into the crook of his neck she inhaled his sent. His pulse beat rapidly from her close contact.
You smell nice. He heard her whisper to him in his mind. She sounded almost intoxicated. He too nuzzled her neck. Inhaled the aroma of spices and herbs. Letting out a husky growl he to, whispered a reply to her addictive scent. "I too can say the same for you." He's thoughts scattered into oblivian. Not a single trace of hate, fear, or even sadness seemed to linger in his mind.
He let her rest there while he regathered his thoughts.
"Will you answer my question or not." he huffed out in a low bark trying to hold a strait face.
"I'm not going to answer that right now, maybe later.", she mumbled into his ear.
He let out an annoyed sigh. His ears flattened as he lowered his head in defeat.
She gave a small giggle from his actions.
"I'll tell you my name you know.", she exclaimed cheerfully.
His ears propped up in excitement while his tail wagged. She patted his head. "Your more like a puppy then a wolf."
Nudging her hand off his head too under his chin. He gave her the puppy eyed look. He whined out, "Will you please tell me your name?"
"Only if you tell me yours," she teased.
Without a second thought he answered in a bark, "Jacob Black" Pain struck her face for some unknown reason. He looked at her in worry.
She stood abruptly, but gracefully. "Well, it has been nice meeting you Jacob Black but sadly I have to go. The dawn is becoming to much for me." She silently walk away into the forest. He whimpered in thought of being alone once more. She turned back to him knowing the same pain. " I must rest, but I promise I will be seeing you soon." A red tear streaked down her cheek as she turned back into the forest. She seemed to vanish in to thin air. Only her scent lingering in his fur coat.
He to could feel tears reaching the rims of his eyes. The urge to run after her was overwhelming but all he could do was sit and wait to see her again.
Dawn had broke in the early morning sky. He know she was long gone for now. He turned to where she had been sitting. The small bag that she had sat in her place in the middle of the green grassy circle. The snow melted instantly where his paws landed as he draw closer.
Examining it, the bag was no bigger then his front paw. An Asian character on it in white stood out on it. Sniffing it, the same aromas from her hair seeped from the bag. It seemed to be a mixture of rich soil and seeds form several different herbs and spices. He could almost feel her hair on his mussel as he took another deep breath of it. A feeling of warmth when strait to his heart when it cycled through his lungs once more. He could not leave the seeds to freeze in the cold of this winter. His mind told him to protect them and he was going to do just that. He laid down, the bag lay encircled by his body as he curled up.
He'd been traveling far to long without rest. They both longed for the sleep of their people. They both had a dreamless sleep.
No memories of pain disturbed there slumber.
But not all was peaceful in these lands. Darkness lurked under the radar.
