The Hoh Rainforest... one of the most beautiful places the United States had to offer.
New Orleans sure as hell didn't have anything quite as nice as this. She said, trudging along through the mud. She didn't care how filthy she got, she was going to get as far away from the town as possible. It wasn't that she was running away, she just needed a break from civilization for a few days.
After Jacob had told her never to come back to La Push, she obeyed him. She had no choice. If she came, his buddies would just send her back. She wasn't going to give them that luxery. They seemed to enjoy kicking her out.
She tripped over a root and landed in the shrubs, but didn't bother to pick herself up. She just rolled over and lay there, exhausted. "I hate people. I hate... wolves." She said out loud, to herself. "I hate... everything, damnit."

The vampire wandered through the forest, he smelled blood. He smelled the beautiful scent of human flesh. As he came upon her he smiled. "What are you doing out here in the middle of the forest?" He inquired, baring his fangs at the same time. "It's not a good idea!" He lunged for her.

Gabrielle jumped up, her heard racing, and sped off in a random direction. "What the hell?" She muttered to herself. She didn't dare look behind her to see if the... whatever it was, was following her, but she could hear them. She couldn't out run them... they were way too fast.
"AH!" She tripped over a branch she hadn't seen and fell down the side of a hill, hitting every tree and shrub on the way down.

He slammed into her, crushing her at the bottom of the hill, he landed on her foot and heard a snap as her ankle broke. He bared his fangs and leaned down to bite her.
A terrible snarl reached both their ears and a huge brown blur shredded through the air and slammed the vampire off Gabrielle. The vampire was pinned beneath Jacob's huge werewolf body. He snarled and ripped the vampire's throat out then dragged him off.
"Gabrielle!" He growled, charging back, still in his wolf form. "Are you... are you alright?" His brown eyes were soft even in the wolf's body. His muzzle was still damp from washing off the vampire's blood and he stuck his cold nose to her cheek, trying to get her to respond.

"Ick... this is why I never got a dog." Gabrielle groaned, turning her face away from his nose. "Sorry Jake, I'm a cat person. Can you turn into a cat for me?" She opened one eye and smiled at him. "I'm somewhat okay, but ankel's broken. Didn't really feel it though, which is strange." She grimaced. "But I am now, though." She propped herself up on her elbow. "I thought you hated me." She said, her voice sad.

"Wha-what?" He sat back on his haunches then slowly turned back into himself. "I wouldn't ever hate you... I thought... you hated me." He looked down and ripped a limb off the tree and broke it into a smaller piece then placed it next to her leg. He pulled off his shirt and ripped it into strips then made some sort of make-shift splint. Jacob stopped and looked at his handiwork. He frowned. "Sorry I didn't get here sooner... I didn't sense him in the area until he had already harmed you." He helped her to stand on one leg then picked her up again. "I'll carry you back home... now why are you back here in La Push? Didn't I say to stay out of here?" He asked as he walked off.

"Ow... ow... well, yeah-ow-you did but I figured it's the forest, so it didn't count. And I needed to get away from Forks for a little while." She smiled. "Lucky you got here when you did, dude, 'cause if you hadn't, I would have been... murdered. Crazy psycho dude." She looked over her shoulder at wherever that person was. "Yeah, so what just happened? That was... weird." She shivered. "But oddly enough, not terrifying enough to make me seize. Today is my lucky day!" Her voice dripped with sarcasm. "So how've you been doing?" She asked. "Ow."

"I've been fine." He replied. "I've been thinking about you a lot... and I figure that if you're going to be like that then... I guess... I'll just have to give up on love... I mean... After all the heartache that Bella put me through and then all the pain you caused me..." He gave a hollow laugh, not characteristic of him. "I'm just never going to be happy am I? The girls I fall in love with always either hate me or love someone else..." He gave that sarcastic laugh again.

"Wait, wait, wait... love? What's this I hear about love?" The thought of love was a little... scarry. "And who said I rejected you? You completely misunderstood what I'd said. I told you I didn't want to be involved with you... you know, romantically. I also said I was too afraid of not having you." She stopped and leaned against a tree. "Jake... to be completely honest with you, I really want to be with you." Blutness was one of her... biggest qualities. "And after David died, I haven't felt like this for anybody. Actually, I haven't felt much for anybody, other than complete and total dislike. But..." she sighed, squinting in pain as she tried to move her foot around. "But I really think, after a month of thinking about it, that this could work out. You know... us." She groaned. "I'm not very good at this talking about love stuff. Your turn."

Jacob blinked at her for a second. "What?" He shook his head. "No!" He shook his head again in disagreement. "It wouldn't work. I'm a werewolf! Can I state that anymore clearly?! I change into this big hairy beast when I get angry or when I sense a vampire!" He began to get angry. "You know WEREWOLF! Not human! Not anything remotely human! WE wouldn't work!" He practically shouted, still carrying her. "I love you Gabrielle... I was seriously hurt by someone before you, namely Bella, and then I realized that it would never work! Maybe it could work between a vampire and a human like with Edward and Bella but not a-" He then realized what he had said... did he just say that? "But not a werewolf and a human... no one would ever be able to look past the beast that I am..."

She pursed her lips and sighed. "Jake, don't put yourself down. That Uley guy... what's his face. Sam? Yeah that one. He has a girlfriend, I know he does. I've seen them holding hands and stuff. And don't pretend he's not a werewolf, because I know you guys travel in packs. And I know he's the leader." She sighed and leaned forward. "Jake..." then what he'd said struck her. "Vampire? What the hell? You mean vampires are real, too?" She blinked. "Wow... why aren't I surprised?" She let out a laugh and reached out.
"Jake, I understand you better than you think I do. At school, everyone looks at me as if I'm some repulsive... thing. They don't get what I went through, they don't know why I go into fits like that. You on the otherhand... you get me. And I get you." She started to cry, despite her attempts against it. "Don't push me away. I've already lost two of the most important people in my life. Don't let me lose you."

He set her down on her one good foot and looked down at her, his amber eyes searching, searching for some answer to his question. Then he sighed and wrapped his muscular arms around her, pulling her in close. "Gabrielle..." He growled softly, it wasn't a usual one for him, something softer, gentler about the werewolf's growl now. "I-" He searched for some excuse as to why they couldn't be together but in the end only one thing struck his thoughts. He tilted her face upwards. "Please... don't cry." He muttered then kissed her gently, hoping that this time she wouldn't draw away.

And so... she didn't pull away from him. She wrapped her arms around him tightly, thinking if she let go, he'd disappear and this'll all have been some weird... dream. She almost wanted to say nightmare, but it was only a nightmare if it wasn't really happening. "Jake," she said, "don't hurt me. Please don't..." She burried her face in his chest. "Please, please, please don't hurt me. Everyone else does. Please don't."

"I wouldn't ever dream of it." He pressed his nose into her hair, the wolf part of him wanting to get to know her scent. Because from now on, the wolf would consider her, his territory... if any other werewolves got near her he would know it. "I would never hurt you Gabi..." He breathed softly. "And I'm not going to let any of the rest of the pack near you." His face softened. "If you... if you become my girlfriend... that means that you become my territory..." He looked off to the side thoughtfully. "I guess... that means... I'm going to have a keep a closer eye on you than I have been doing!" He grinned.

She raised an eyebrow. "Territory? We'll see." She didn't like the term... but whatever, it was Jacob. He could say it if he wanted to. "Now, can we get me home? Donatella's going kill me, might as well get things done quickly. Best to do it that way, you know. Like pulling off a band-aid. Do it quick so it doesn't hurt... now let's go, I can really hear my accent. I don't like hearing my accent. It's so ugly." She laughed. It was true, she talked like... well, like she was from New Orleans.

"Yeah... band-aid." He nodded and picked her back up, leaping off to a high speed run towards the house.
