A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

“I really am sorry,” she said as he led her back through the trees to the car. Every sound in the forest
seemed louder and more threatening than it had around the fire.
He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. He wanted to be angry. The evening had not turned out
the way he had hoped. “Don’t be sorry, Ness. I probably should have known better than to think
you’d just magically get over it.”
She looked at her feet, and he sighed. Finally they made it to the car. She felt a little more secure
but not much.
“Why didn’t you tell me there would be vampires in the story?” she asked as he drove.
He glanced at her. “Bloodsuckers. I didn’t think about it.”
“What’s the difference between a vampire and a bloodsucker?” She wasn’t sure she wanted to
know.
“Same as the difference between a werewolf and a shape-shifter. Hollywood says a vampire bursts
into flame or turns to ash in sunlight. Bloodsuckers don’t; they’re fine to walk around in sunlight.
Hollywood also says a vampire sleeps.”
She swallowed. “But Bloodsuckers don’t?”
He nodded. “Right.”
“Oh, God.” She felt even sicker.
He squeezed her hand lightly. “What?”
She sniffled and tried to hold back her tears. She could feel something behind her even when her
back was pressed firmly against the seat of the car. It was the same feeling she got after she
watched scary movies. Something was going to get her. “First the werewo—I mean, shape-shifters—
are scarier than usual, and now the damn Bloodsuckers walk around in daylight and don’t sleep.
What next? They can’t be killed with a stake through the heart?”
He cleared his throat. “No, actually they can’t.”
She rolled her eyes. “It was a rhetorical question, Jake. I really don’t want to know how
indestructible they’re supposed to be. I’d like to have at least a little chance of sleeping tonight.”
Jacob rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb until they reached her house. If it hadn’t been so
dark out, she wouldn’t have waited for him to open her door for her. The porch light was not on, and
she nearly panicked the short walk to the door. Her fingers fumbled in her pocket trying to find her
key.
The smell of her fear was overpowering. He couldn’t stand the sight of her shivering and sniffling.
He put his hands on her shoulders from behind and bent to kiss her ear.
“Calm down, Ness. I’m sorry you’re so scared, but I promise you’re safe. I would never let anything
hurt you.” He kissed her again.
