A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

He’d almost forgotten about that. “Oh, yeah. So you think she might be extrouating or something?”
“I’m just saying that if she’s become more like an animal, it might be possible. I also think unless the
test is positive, it’ll be impossible to tell right away. It’s just another option.”
They both looked up when Renesmee came back in the room. She’d heard everything Sue and
Jacob had said and really hoped the older woman was right. She held up the test. “It’s negative,”
she said sadly. After the moments of shock, disbelief, and fear had worn off, she found she was
excited. Now she wasn’t sure what to feel.
Jacob got up and went to her to pull her into a tight hug. “It’s okay, honey,” he said softly yet firmly at
the same time. She wrapped her arms around his waist and held tightly. She told herself at least
she had options. Only one of them would be true, but at least she could still have hope.
Sue didn’t have anything else to offer. They made a plan to gather as much knowledge about
Bloodsuckers as they could. Jacob had learned a lot in the last fourteen years, and he was sure his
pack could have picked up other things. Instead of going home, they went into the forest where
Jacob could shift and call his pack. He wanted to figure this out as soon as possible.

Over the next few weeks, Jacob and his pack tried a new patrol tactic. Instead of killing a
Bloodsucker at first sight, they followed them, observing and learning. They never let them leave
alive, though. Embry didn’t like the idea, but he knew why they were doing it. Seth thought it was
fascinating and ended up learning the most. Quil only did the job because Jacob needed him to. He
didn’t care what the Bloodsuckers were like; he just wanted to make sure none of them got near
Claire.
So far, they had learned that Bloodsuckers traveled in groups of two or more. It still wasn’t clear if
they had any relationships with their group, but the Shifters theorized there was some kind of
familiarity or kinship within the groups. There had been a few altercations between two groups. Seth
had been patrolling and noted how they fought like cats, growling and hissing as they tore at each
other with teeth and claw-like fingers. They fought to the death, never allowing a Bloodsucker from
another group to live. Embry had laughed at that; they were already dead.
Renesmee wanted to help, but Jacob refused to let her.
“Jake, that’s ridiculous. I can take care of myself.”
“I don’t want you near them. End of story.”
She rolled her eyes. “I’m the reason you and the guys are doing this; don’t you think I’m curious,
too? Maybe I want to see it firsthand.”
“Ness, I know you’re strong, but you’re not stronger than they are. If I can pin you down when I’m a
man, they’ll have no trouble hurting you.” He was trying to make her see things his way.
“You only pin me down because I let you.”
