Jacob had been spending more time with Nessie, since she'd been back they had got their relationship back on track. They had hardly left each others side, looking at each other in the eyes as they spoke. The spark was back stronger than ever, anyone around Jake and Nessie would sigh at the "puppy dogs eyes" they were making. Alice would smile at the two of them, she was always the more excepting one to Nessie and Jakes relationship. Alice was the one who took Jake and Nessie's joining the easiest. Emmett would tease the two of them, Yeah....... things were getting back to normal.
Jake was walking about Billy's house, he had needed to do some pack related business. Nessie was waiting for him at the Cullen's house, Jacob had fallen in love with Nessie all over again, it felt like he had seen her with a new set of eyes. Every time he knew he would see her, butterflies would fill his stomach. As he thought about it a smile consumed his face. He needed to show Nessie the amount of love he had for her, to let her know that he wanted to be with her. Not that he was forced there by the imprinting, but by love pure soul filling, blinding, breath taking love.....
Jacob had given Nessie a bracelet before, this time he would carve her a wolf out of the best tree he could find. Taking off into the wood in search of the tree! only the best would do, whether it took him hours. That tree needed to stand out from the rest, there had to be something wonderful about it, no less would do.
FOUR HOURS LATER
Jake was starting to get hungry, he hadn't eaten breakfast. There was no way he was giving up till he got what he was searching for. As he was about to turn to the other direction, Jake turned back. There it was the tree was large, stood tall against all the rest, right in the middle of the wood. The sun had highlighted this one tree from all the rest, as if the heavens had opened picking this tree for him. The bark was darker more rich, the wood would be a harder wood, more difficult to sculpt than softer woods. Nessie would be worth the extra hours it would take. As Jake took the amount of wood he needed, the grain was fine. Just what he needed, to make a small object, fine grain is much more desirable. Shifting to wolf form tying his off cuts on, picking the wood up carefully in between his k9's. Jake took off running to his dads house (Billy Black) Jake had all the tools he needed there, wolf form would be quicker so he could give the gift to Nessie tonight.
Putting the wood on the bench, Jake set his tools out. The gouge a tool with a curved cutting edge used in a variety of forms and sizes for carving hollows, rounds and sweeping curves. A Whittling knife having a strong, blade slightly shorter than the handle (around 5 inches), suitable for marking or carving. A carving tool with a V shaped cutting edge. Used for outlining and decorative cuts. Referred to as 'the carvers pencil'. Short (5"), stubby tools used with one hand while the work is held in the other. Great for detail and small carving. Jake shaped and carved the wolf piece, taking great care with each stride. Every piece he chiseled off, he checked.... double checked he was happy with the markings. The contrast of colors that came together, were nothing short of amazing. Nothing was out of place..... He thought back to that moment.... the moment he first saw Nessie as more than a friend or a being in his life to protect. She had flourished into a woman, stunning, beautiful, not only had her body changed, her personality had matured. Everything about her attracted Jake, taking the floor from his feet. Stealing the air he had just inhaled, the smile she had given him. Her eyes were..... well they were outstanding, a beautiful bright golden color.
Finishing the last carving of a hind leg, Jake smoothed a rough edge off. Checking the carving for imperfections, when he could no longer find any. Jake was so excited about the gift, about seeing Nessie's face he hadn't even packed the tools away. Jake headed to the Cullen's, smiling all the way. It really was the most amazing piece he had carved, Jake had cuts and sores from hold the tools so hard, and for so long the blisters had blisters. He just couldn't wait to see Nessie's face, he ran all the way.
