Hey Jake, thought you said you wanted me at dusk. How come you didn't have Leah wake me upbefore she crashed?
'Cause I didn't need you. I'm still good.
He was already picking up the north half of the circle. Anything?
Nope. Nothing but nothing.
You did some scouting1?
He'dcaught the edge of one of my side trips. He headed up the new trail.
Yeah—/ ran a few spokes2. You know, just checking. If the Cullens are going to make a huntingtrip...
Good call.
Seth looped back toward the main perimeter3.
It was easier to run with him than it was to do the same with Leah. Though she was trying—tryinghard—there was always an edge to her thoughts. She didn't want to be here. She didn't want to feel thesoftening toward the vampires4 that was going on in my head. She didn't want to deal with Seth's cozyfriendship with them, a friendship that was only getting stronger.
Funny, though, I'd've thought her biggest issue would just be me. We'd always gotten on each other'snerves when we were in Sam's pack. But there was no antagonism6 toward me now at all, just the CullensandBella. I wondered why. Maybe it was simply gratitude7 that I wasn't forcing her to leave. Maybe itwas because I understood her hostility8 better now. Whichever, running with Leah wasn't nearly as bad asI'd expected.
Of course, she hadn't eased up that much. The food and clothes Esme had sent for her were all taking atrip downriver right now. Even after I'd eaten my share—not because it smelled nearly irresistible9 awayfrom the vampire5 burn, but to set a good example of self-sacrificing
