Transition

Tara's POV

I couldn't express the hatred I felt for Jake when he stopped me.  I hate the fact that he knows a lot about me and that my powers don't work on him.

As soon as he stood in front of me, I felt my powers weakening as I dropped my arms. The last thing I remember was falling into Jake's arms and being carried away.

I'm sure you're wondering why I seem to hate a boy who seems to have done good. Well don't be fooled.

He's as wicked as they come. He's my biggest nightmare and guess what?

It took him a week out of a month I spent with him to establish himself at that position.

A week!

That  first week was the worst of my life. He is my worst nightmare. He has an innocent face to cover his dark soul.

Everything he does is bad. Every time girls swoon and fight over him, I gag and roll my eyes.

Are they blind? Can't they see the horns and his demon eyes with the tail and hook?

Okay so I might be exaggerating as usual but he was a devil in a dress... Well boy clothes but you get the point.

But right now I'm grateful for what he did. I don't know what I would've done if he hadn't stopped me.

I wake up to feel arms shaking me. I feel so weak and tired and dizzy. When I open my eyes I see his eyes.

His intense blue eyes which were as deep and beautiful as the sea. Then I realised how close he was and pushed him away.

"Are you okay?" He asked. Something wasn't right. Jake had changed. He had become hotter now and I felt drawn to him for some absurd reason.

I was happy that he cared about my wellbeing. I cleared my head.

"I hate you." I said.

"Jeez, I haven't seen you in ages and I just saved you from becoming a murderer and I don't even get a kiss or thank you." He  said and looked hurt.

Someone might have believed he was really hurt and stupidly kissed him. But I know better.

"The day I kiss you is when I see pigs flying." I said. He laughed and I stared.

Something pulled at my heart to know that I made him laugh. What is happening to me?

It took me a while to notice that he was driving and that we were  in the middle of nowhere.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"What happened to you back there? I've never seen you so angry?" He asked.

It had always been like this. I couldn't lie to him and neither could he. We saw right through each other so I told him the truth.

"I don't know. I was so confused and angry and sad so I decided to let it out. If you h-h hadn't stopped me... I-i could've..."

"It's okay. I'll always be there for you. I'll never let you do something stupid. That's my job. Oh and for God's sake wipe the blood off your face." He said.

Idiot! Why couldn't he say it nicely?  And besides, my powers don't work when I'm around him.

"I can't. You're here." I said.

He smirked and said,"oh right. It's because you love me so much. Your powers love me too." He said smiling.

I rolled my eyes.

"You wish. And besides you're not that good looking." I said

"Tell that to the video I made of you when you said I was hot." He said.

I felt the heat rush up to my cheeks. He looked at me and smirked. I knew he could tell how fast my heart had started beating.

"You're blushing." He said.

"I'm not. And besides I was drunk when I said that. The day I say that when I'm sober is when pigs fly in the sky." I said.

He laughed and focused on the road. We were enveloped in a comfortable silence. I stared at him and realized he was really handsome.

It was unreal. Is it even legal to look this good? Jake stopped the car and we got out. We were surrounded by trees and grass.

Was he going to kill me? "Why are we..." I was cut off as he began to run away. Was he leaving me here to die?

Well he had better think twice. I began running after him. I usually trip over nothing but not today I was running really fast.

When I stopped I dropped on the floor panting. After I regained composure, I got up to look for Jake.

My breath hitched as I gasped at the scene before me. I knew immediately why Jake brought me here.

It was a valley of flowers. So many colours and such a beautiful fragrance. The beauty was magnified by trees the sunset sky. I had never seen anything like this.

No one had done something like this for me. I sat under a true and leaned my back against it as I stared. I knew Jake was watching me.

After everything, I knew he would always be there for me. Hr might not be my friend and he might be annoying, crazy, w jerk and all but I realized he was the only stable thing in my life.

A satisfied smile tugged on my lips as I closed my eyes and relaxed. I felt peaceful.

Jake's POV

I watched as she sat under the tree and closed her eyes. She smiled and my heart beat faster.

To know that I brought her peace and made her smile was the best feeling ever.

I hate what I've done to my mate. I have destroyed her and broken her. It was why I couldn't tell her I was get mate.

Once she turned she'll know that I'm her mate. I know she'll reject me because she loves Jeremy so I'll reject her first.

It will hurt less knowing that I rejected her first. She didn't know Jeremy was my twin and I don't blame her.

Jeremy and I barely look alike. We have destroyed only three things in common: the same parents, same last name and the same blue eyes but mine is brighter than his.

Other than that, we were more than polar opposites. If I told her what I did she would hate me more than she does and run straight into my brother's arms.

She wouldn't care that she was my mate and it would break me. So I'll keep the truth from her not just so that she won't hate me a lot but also to protect her.

I still remember our first kiss. She hadn't pushed me away, she had kissed me back and she doesn't remember. She smelt like strawberries. She still does. It's intoxicating.

She remembers me kissing her but not that she kissed me back. I cleared my thoughts and decided to take her home after a while. She had to go into transition.

I run with supernatural speed from my hiding place to where she was.

Tara's POV

I saw Jake running to me and I smiled. He sat beside me and I felt weirdly complete. I laid my head on his shoulder. "Thank you." I said.

I was grateful for what he was doing."I still want my pay. You don't get to take this away from the world for free." He said as he pointed to his face.

Trust Jake to ruin a moment. I smiled and decided to play along. "Fine, what do you want?" I asked. He turned his head to look at me.

"A kiss." He asked. I his my blush in his chest. I hate the fact that I blush so easily. "I don't see any flying pigs so no" I said.

"Fine, just get up and let's go. You have to go into transition." He said. We got off the ground and I moved away.

He grabbed my hand and I felt electricity run up my arm through my body. He dragged me and I guess he didn't feel anything.

I fell asleep in the car as he drove. When I got up he had parked the car in front of a large house.

I got out and was about to ask him to take me back home but he placed his finger on my lip to stop me.

I felt tingles everywhere on my lips. What was he doing to me?

"I know you can't stay at your house cause they banned you. So I want you to stay at my place until we finish school." He said.

Living with Jake in one house!! Was he okay? We wouldn't last a day. And why was he even being nice? Maybe he had a fever? Yeah, that would explain it.

I was about to check his temperature when he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the mansion.

I can barely describe it in words. It is so beautiful. "First of all I'm not sick so don't check my temperature and hurry up. You have to begin your transition." He said.

He knew me so well that it was annoying. Like he could hear what I was thinking. I can hear what you're thinking. A voice in my head said. Who are you?

Idiot, it's Jake. I can hear what you're thinking.

So everyone can hear what I'm thinking? No, just me and don't ask me why.

I kept quiet as he led me through the house. I couldn't see anything. I felt so dizzy and weak so I just followed Jake.

We were climbing the stairs, I think, when my legs gave out. Jake caught me and carried me bridal style.

"It's okay. I got you, Tar." He said.

I rolled my eyes. He still used that stupid nickname. I am dying here. Well I don't mind. I can finally see my parents.

"What the fuck is she doing here?" An angry voice asked. It sounded like Jeremy.

Jake turned around and despite my hazy vision I still saw him. My heart began to beat faster.

"It doesn't concern you." Jake said. He was so tense and angry.

I screamed as a sharp pain passed through my heart.

"Look, she's in transition and I have to help her so leave me alone so I can help her." Jake said.

"No, give her to me. I'll take care of her." He said. It hurt so much.

With all the strength left I grabbed Jake's collar and tugged.

"It hurts. Please help me." I said. That seemed to do it. Without sparing Jeremy another glance, he entered the room and closed the door.

He laid me down on a bed. Then I heard the ripping of flesh before a cold liquid dripped down my lips.

It was Jake's blood. "Goodnight my queen." That was the last thing I heard. His voice.

Then I was in transition. It was only pain and darkness.
