I SPRINTED1 DOWN THE STAIRS AND THREW THE DOOR open.
It was Jacob, of course. Even blind, Alice wasn't slow.
He was standing2 about six feet back from the door, his nose wrinkled in distaste, but his face otherwisesmooth—masklike. He didn't fool me; I could see the faint trembling of his hands.
Hostility rolled off of him in waves. It brought back that awful afternoon when he'd chosen Sam over me,and I felt my chin jerk up defensively in response.
Jacob's Rabbit idled by the curb3 with Jared behind the wheel and Embry in the passenger seat. Iunderstood what this meant: they were afraid to let him come here alone. It made me sad, and a littleannoyed. The Cullens weren't like that.
"Hey," I finally said when he didn't speak.
Jake pursed his lips, still hanging back from the door. His eyes flickered4 across the front of the house.
I ground my teeth. "She's not here. Do you need something?"He hesitated. "You're alone?""Yes." I sighed.
"Can I talk to you a minute?""Of course you can, Jacob. Come on in."Jacob glanced over his shoulder at his friends in the car. I saw Embry shake his head just a tiny bit. Forsome reason, this bugged5 me to no end.
My teeth clenched6 together again. "Chicken" I mumbled7 under my breath.
Jake's eyes flashed back to me, his thick, black brows pushing into a furious angle over his deep-seteyes. His jaw8 set, and he marched—there was no other way to describe the way he moved—up thesidewalk and shrugged9 past me into the house.
I locked gazes with first Jared and then Embry—I didn't like the hard way they eyed me; did they reallythink I would let anything hurt Jacob?—before I shut the door on them.
