Metamorphosis

Chapter One: Contemplation

Suddenly, as quickly as it had blown the rainstorm out, the icy wind blew another grove of blackened clouds in. Midnight colored cotton that swiftly drifted through the quiet town of Forks, Washington. Briskly shading the crumbling old buildings with darkness, hastily covering the broken alleyways, and rapidly tumbling over the towns' borderline. The gray and charcoal pallette reaching the final crack in the sidewalk before continuing on into the surrounding forest.

Brown stained eyes watched this common phenomenon with little interest. Not due to it being ordinary or insignificant, but rather that the possessor of said eyes had his thoughts elsewhere. Elsewhere meaning deep within his mind where it still felt comfortable to be vulnerable. And his "thoughts" referring more so to emotions than articulated realizations.

'Bella.'

The teenager's coffee colored globes gazed out his bedroom window one last time before slowing closing him off to the world for the second time. His mind racing with even the slightest mention of his beloved human and with the passionate emotions she threw him in to. The very same emotions he had been contemplating for a little over two weeks. Feelings consisting of lust which kept him away from her sweet scent, of cautious happiness that forced him to leave her to think, and the worst-rage that made him confine himself to his room.

'Edward...Nasty bloodsucker.'

In the blink of an eye, dark tanned lips cringed into a rough frown. The boy's imbalanced hormones ravaging his body until his sharp teeth bared themselves to no one except his dusty window reflection. His heated figure growing warmer and warmer with each memory of the bastard vampire and his mortal love. Flashbacks of Bella's near death incident with the other bloodsucker, of how she almost cried when her worries got the better of her, of how she claimed to love him yet chose Edward, and of how angry he still was with her.

'"Don't make me choose."'

Sluggishly, the infuriated male calmed his burning form. His muscles slowly relaxing against the crisp cool sheets of his bed as he ran his fingers through his sweaty hair.

"How could you pick him, Bella?"

Trembling chocolate eyes gave a blank stare to the bare wall just in front of his mattress. His body still struggling to completely relax as he refused to let go of his thoughts. No matter how angry he was or of how upset he had grown over the fact that she had made a decision, he couldn't let go. He couldn't drop the other truths that she hadn't mentioned the vampire, wanted to remember him, or had the notion of returning to him the entire time they had spent together. Those times and days they shared building the motorcycles that now gathered dust in his shed, the hours they spent shopping for new components, and all the long nights they just drove around town for no reason at all. These were facts she chose to ignore for reasons he couldn't understand. Why would she go with the leech after all that?

'What does he have that I don't?'

A low chuckle suddenly made itself present in the otherwise silent room.

The wolf allowing himself to laugh at the pathetic idea that he was comparing himself to a disgusting creature. A vampire consisting of a cold spirit, a human bloodlust, and no sense of compassion or loyalty. And yet a creature she had fallen in love with.

"We're nothing alike so why does she care for him?" Jacob sighed as he rested his head into the pillow. His arms stretching upwards in an attempt to loosen his tightened muscles.

'She so accepting of everyone...She must think he's handsome...'

He smirked to himself, "A storybook prince."

A quiet screech suddenly sounded from the mattress springs as the wolf rolled onto his side. His eyes blinking at the alarmclock before he returned to thought. His prior thought of why the human cared for his adversary. Her acceptance, his looks, his charm, and the obvious appeal that he was something "special". Still the Native American knew he possessed all those same qualities...But if that were the case she wouldn't have left, right?

"Why do you "love" her, Edward?"

Deep eyes narrowed into a stern glare. Jacob's body tensing as he dared to wonder about a parasite's feelings or think about if they even had any. Normally, he could think of a thousand reasons why anyone could fall for a girl like Bella...Until Edward was thrown into the equation. Vampires couldn't love such a caring soul, they couldn't appreciate porcelain beauty, and they couldn't possibly feel the inner warmth of another being. All qualities Bella had...But were left unnoticed due to the Cullen's hunger.

'"I owe you."'

"Please." He snorted at the remembrance of Edward's words. "I didn't save her for you."

Another shrill squeak erupted from the metal coils beneath the teenager. His body sitting up to watch the remaining mounds of black rain clouds settle in for an evening shower. His anxiety-riddled body finally adjusting itself into a serene state.

'"Owe me", huh? If I get to know him would it even make a difference? "

A slight chill ran up over his arms as he crossed them along the windowsill. His tired chin resting on them as he cocked his head to the side with curiosity. If he were to take Edward up on his offer and open his mind to learning about the vamp...Could he understand why his beloved cared for him?

"...I should give him a call."
