[Twilight] Believer

"Do you really believe he's dead?"

"I don't know, I always feel that he is with me."

Maria paused while helping Max change his dressing, and said, "He will see us only if he wants to, and vice versa."

She took a deep breath and put her confused eyes out of the window. She always believed in her heart that he was still alive.

A smell similar to his has been in this room for several days. She wondered why the vampires with more sensitive senses of smell and hearing didn't notice the strangeness?

At first she thought it was just a hallucination, but as time passed, the feeling became stronger.

He must be not far from her, and if it was true, how would Howard feel when he saw so many vampires around her.

After everyone left her room, Max got out of bed secretly, and every step she took felt a pain that pulled her, as if she was going to split her own body in half.My legs also became sluggish and slow because I hadn’t moved for too long, and I touched the sofa within a few steps, and all the things on the sofa fell to the ground with a “plop”.

The sundries fell on her one by one, enduring the pain but being unable to move, Jacob, who was pushed into the door, had a panoramic view, and he immediately helped Max up without saying a word.Seeing the embarrassment and frustration on her face for the first time, the honest and loyal werewolf Jacob spit out comforting words, saying: "The inconvenience is only temporary, you know, Carlisle..."

Finding that Max didn't pay attention to the comfort he had worked so hard to think of, he looked at her and said something practical: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"nonsense!"

Jacob smiled immediately and asked, "Put it on me!"

Max glanced at Jacob in disgust. No matter how stupid Morrie was, he would never show it. This Jacob...is so loyal...forget it.

"Go and get my long knife." The knife she hadn't touched for a long time.It can only be used when performing close-range hunting missions or with a full-time hunter. She has never taught Catherine how to use a long knife because Howard has not finished the last lesson.

Jacob brought over the slender, slightly curved knife. This kind of knife that he had only seen in movies made him very curious.His deep eyes never moved away. Max sat on the sofa and gently pulled the knife out of the scabbard with pious eyes. Cold and proud.

Jacob couldn't help exclaiming, Max ignored the astonishment in his eyes, he was completely immersed in memories, and after a few seconds of sluggishness, he poured out the contents of the scabbard, which was a platinum tail ring, The minimalist streamlined design is exactly the same as the light on the blade.

Max handed the ring under the nose of Jacob who was squatting beside him, and said, "Have you noticed that this smell is very familiar?" Her expectant eyes fell on Jacob's nose, although Jacob felt a little uncomfortable. Very satisfied, but still completed the task responsibly, nodded and said: "Yes, what's the matter?"

The joyful expression on her face could not be concealed no matter what, she stood up, wanting to walk out the door as if she was not injured.

"Where are you going?" As soon as the words fell, Max couldn't hold on and was about to fall. He could only accept his fate and carried her on his back, and said, "You...you really lost to you!"

The two of them tracked the smell all the way around Fox, and there were all kinds of tall trees everywhere along the way. Max saw Fox on Jacob's back that was different from the past, but she didn't care to appreciate it, the only thing she was worried about. Only to find him.

If you don't come to see me, that's fine, then I'll go find you.

Jacob's speed was very fast, and Max found that the places they passed were all in the area where werewolves lived, and there was no definite number of distances and nears.

"Is his smell the last few days?"

"Yes, he's been with us all the time, but we never noticed this stranger when we were patrolling. How did he manage to be so unnoticed?"

Max didn't answer. Howard's ability to hide was unquestionable, but he couldn't make the werewolves get acquainted with him. Doubt crept over her mind like a cloud, and she patted Jacob on the shoulder to signal him to stop.

"Where is the place where he stayed the longest? Let's go there and see if there are any clues."

It rained a lot in the morning, so I hope it doesn't wash away any traces.

Jacob took her to a hemlock tree at the westernmost edge of the forest. He looked at Max suspiciously, and then climbed up the tree on both hands and feet.Only then did she feel that the doubts in her heart had found the answer. Could Howard also become a non-human?As usual, as a mortal Howard, it is impossible for Jacob to climb up to a Douglas hemlock tree as high as 75 meters.

"It's a wolf, without a doubt!" Jacob said seriously, "Look at this." What he held in his hand was the remains of an animal, and the tooth marks on it were shocking, "But... on the top of the tree, The smell he leaves is the same as your tail ring..."

"Wolf?" You can't see the top of the tree even if you look up, but the wolf can climb it?Jacob casually added, saying, "It's possible if it's a werewolf, but there's no one around here except our tribe..."

Jacob's tribe is not a werewolf in the true sense, and all their hunters know this.The real werewolves are called "children of the moon", and only on the night of the full moon can they turn into wolves.

"The night of the full moon...it was yesterday..." She woke up instantly, and said to Jacob, "Let's look for any footprints and the like! Quick, before it gets dark."

If I ever see you, it will be years.How I greet you with tears and silence.

She lay on Jacob's shoulder and looked down into the ground carefully, hoping to see him as soon as possible, but she was afraid that she would not be able to accept the fact that he might turn into a werewolf.The most important thing is where he has been all these years.Why is there no news, even hanging swords for sale.

"That person is your very important friend?"

"Yes, it can be said that without him, I would not be where I am today." So, Howard, please live well!

-

In the end, their efforts were not in vain, but apart from confirming that the other party was a werewolf, Jacob could not continue to trace his whereabouts. All the clues stopped abruptly at the gas station at the entrance of Fox, obviously not wanting anyone to find him whereabouts.

On the way back, both of them were depressed.

When he walked to the door, Max was put on the chair safely by Jacob.

She said: "Thank you for everything you did for me today, Jacob." There was warmth in Max's eyes that he had never seen before, and he was really not used to such a scene at all. Jacob scratched his head shyly: "You're welcome."

"Then, come with me to the bonfire party after dinner. Don't try to restrict my actions with Dr. Karen's words." After she finished speaking, she stood up and let Catherine, who was passing by, help her in to eat.

Jacob spurned himself severely in his heart, the warmth of hell!Max is such a cunning hunter, it's just too odious!
