✰ --- "When will the timing be right then?" Abbie anxiously asked, it almost itching at him to know, she was so close to knowing the truth about Bella.
"I...can let you know now, but I'm going to need you to have an open mind, and you're going to have to trust what I tell you to be the truth."
"It can't be that bad, can it? Are you guys selling drugs or something?" Abbie said, settling into her bed and grabbing her laptop.
"It's a whole different ball park, something really...not of this world." Jacob stole a glance at her, Abigail's forehead crinkling.
"Not of this world?" Abbie questioned, grabbing her laptop and starting to type. "What the hell does that mean?"
"Why don't you ask me exactly what you need to know, then you'll know what you want." She nodded, ready to press on.
"Why did the Cullen's leave Bells, what's wrong with them?" Jacob let out a somber chuckle, looking up at her.
"This is where I'm going to need you to trust me, Abbie, Bella didn't believe it when she first got here too." Abigail turned to him, a look of concern spread across her face as she cautiously agreed to hear him out...then everything spilled out like water from a faucet.
Vampires, Werewolves, the Cullen's, Jacob and his Tribe, everything one after another was laid out like a map for Abbie to explore. As more and more was relayed to her, she found herself pushing herself further and further into her large bed in the corner of her room, Jacob could sense it as well. He slowly walked over to her, sitting next to her on the bed and patiently waiting for her to be comfortable.
"Are you okay, Abbie?" He used his softest voice, Abigail drinking it in like the most potent alcohol she'd ever come across. She found his eyes, brimming with tears that she quickly blinked back.
"How long has it been like this?" Jacob sighed, now noticing that she was shaking. He desperately wanted to sweep her up in his arms and calm her down but he knew it wasn't the time.
"My ancestors have been having run-ins with them forever."
Abigail nodded somberly, finally truly connecting with the boy across from her. "I'm scared, Jake..."
He immediately pulled her into his arms, unable to control his emotions and savoring the closeness of the two of them through their imprint bond. Abbie didn't let herself cry, she didn't like the vulnerability. Instead, she hid herself in the boy's chest and tried anything to keep her breathing at a normal pace. "I promise I'll be right in those trees all night, Abbie," He said, pointing to the line of forest brimming the edge of the backyard. "I won't let anything happen, okay?"
Abbie nodded, pulling herself up to her feet and watching Jacob follow suit. She walked him to the door in a comfortable silence, opening the door out into the night and having that quickly disappear as Edward and Bella charged towards them.
