《Crazier Then You (Twilight // Crazy Jane)》Chapter 16
Advertisement
The pack discovering that the red head was after Bella and putting an imprint in danger raised morale. Sam made the wolves patrol around the Swan residence more, meaning Jane either spent her free time at Emily's or with Paul. Rarely Jake, he was always more interested in hanging out with Bella. It hurt Jane and the others.... and he didn't seem to care. Paul tried to make up for it, even Jared and Embry tried to hangout with her. But Jane wasn't comfortable around any of them, she was barely letting Paul back in let alone a bunch of new guys.
When she was at Emily's her time was spent sitting at a kitchen table talking or trying to learn how to cook. Until.... Karen came forward due to the trigger. "Oh Emily don't you just love to bake for a man? I know I cannot wait to be cooking and baking for my Paulie!" Karen said lovingly as Emily stared at the now blonde with raised eyebrows. She knew Paul had only wanted Jane romantically, in fact she hadn't heard of Karen until now. "Well I'm sure Jane will manage as well." Emily spoke kindly but that didn't stop the disgusted scoff from coming out of Karen. "Please. I'm the only one in here willing to love and settle down with a man. Let alone take care of him." She laughed making Emily look uncomfortable and stop even mentioning it.
Soon Jared and Paul were returning from patrol making Karen squeal as she heard the noise. Bella perked up as well but looked glum when it wasn't Jake.... Yeah she was there too..... kinda. "Finally I get to meet the legendary Paul." Karen smiled brightly as Paul looked confused at the blonde hair before looking her in the eyes. But unlike all the other personalities he had met- nothing. He had imprinted as a friend at least to all the other ones but with her there was no emotional connection. "Uh hi." He spoke waiting for Jane to come forward but Karen just giggled. "I'm Karen. You've probably heard a lot about me. Let's just say I'm the one who always gets what.... Or who. She wants." She did that little laugh again but Paul merely fake smiled before taking his usual seat.
Karen attempted to sit on his lap making him go wide eyed as she sat down. Of course the second she sat down it had triggered someone else to come forward. Scarlett Harlotte. A freckle appearing above her lip and her bright blonde hair turned back to its dark brown almost black color, and with bangs that Jane never had before. "Well well well. Im Scarlett." Scarlett said fluttering her eyelashes at Paul who imprinted but again as a friend and nothing more. Jared and Emily just kinda watched with anticipation as Bella watched the doorframe not even noticing her cousins personality changes. "Hey. Is Jane around?" Paul asked once again feeling uncomfortable with how this one was staring at him. "What you don't want to play with little old me?" She asked with a pout, that made Jared choke on his milk and Emily to gape at the very straight forward woman.
"Um no sorry...... I'd just like to speak with Jane." He said cringing making Scarlett huff and get off his lap then looking to Jared. "What about you cowboy? Ready to ride around with lil ol' me?" She asked flirting and twirling her hair as she bit her lip at him. To say Jared looked disgusted with the idea is an understatement, he only had eyes for his loving imprint Kim. "Sorry I'm taken." Jared said looking away with a blush and freaked out look as Paul growled lowly. Yes he didn't see Scarlett in that way but she shared a body with Jane, and Jane was solely his. "Fine. Your all such stick in the muds anyway." She sighed and soon Jane was forward not even knowing why she was suddenly standing instead of in her seat like she had been before.

"Sorry uh who was here?" She asked her memory fogging considering when things got physical things would tend to block out for everyone in the underground beside the protectors watching and ready to fight off anything negative. "Karen and Scarlett." Emily said as nicely as she could but reading the weirdness in the room Jane sighed sitting down in her seat looking to the two boys. "I'm sorry about them. Some of them are a little different from the rest of us." Jane said fiddling with her hands not looking to Paul just knowing the two had come on to him the hardest. The two women had been fantasizing about him since Jane had briefly met him in the woods when they found Bella and herself.
"Hey it's alright, no harm done. Besides Emily and Karen baked some cookies and muffins." Paul brushed it off but Jared still had a scrunched up nose as he bit into his 5th cookie. "So Jane do you mind me asking questions about-" Emily trailed off meaning the personalities and other things of the subject. "Sure..... just be careful I guess not to trigger someone." Jane trailed off awkwardly knowing it could be just the slightest thing and she could be sent back to the underground. "What's it like in there? Like when your there?" Emily asked pointing to her head as a reference. "Well a train takes you to and from the surface. When your not up here your in the underground- which is like a subway station underground. We each have our own 'rooms' that we call stations. They are full of what makes us happy." Jane explained making Emily nod. She just found it all so interesting and so did the boys as they looked at her with fascination.
"When's Jake supposed to be back?" Bella interrupts making the boys and Emily slowly look to her with boredom. "Not for another hour lee- Bella." Paul started to sneer when Emily elbowed him although she too found it rude. "Eat up Bella." Emily said pointing to the food which Bella took some and kept staring at the door waiting. "You know woman who depend on a man are weak." Jane spat as her eyes briefly glanced to Paul who luckily didn't catch the look. "She has a point. Don't be dependent. Be an equal." Emily smiled making Jane smirk to herself as she picked at her black nail polish. Bella just rolled her eyes looking unimpressed at the advice.
"You know- your so fucking pathetic. Honestly I'm embarrassed to be related to you. And I'm supposed to be the crazy one." Jane snapped glaring her cousin down with looks that could kill. Bella looked to her cousin trying to decipher if this was Jane or Hammerhead. "Yeah..... but it's really crazy Kay huh?" She mumbled trying not to be heard yet Janes eyes widened a fraction as Jared and Paul looked confused. Emily did too but picked it up faster making her gasp that Bella would say something like that to her own cousin. "I'm sorry- I must've heard a mistake there. Mind repeating that mouth breather?" Jane said slowly in warning to her cousin. "I said- it's really Kay Challis that's related to me not you Jane. And that she's the crazy one for imagining all of you up." Bella snapped making Janes eye Twitch before she stood up.
She slammed her fist harshly on the wooden table practically lunging over it to Bella when Paul stopped her by grabbing her waist. "DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH ME!" Hammerhead said coming through and pushing him roughly away but not enough to hurt him. "Kay is no concern of yours! Why don't you keep pining over a dead corpse that was out of your league in the first place you FILTHY WHORE!" Hammer head screamed towards the end as she stormed out of the house cussing a storm to not hit Bella who looked scared as she left. Hammerhead could hear someone chasing after her and it didn't take rocket science to guess who but she kept walking into the woods.

After walking // storming away for ten minutes the pair finally stopped in the field Bella and Jane had been in earlier that month. Hammerhead had calmed down and Jane returned to the surface kicking a rock that hit a tree. "So...... who is Kay?" He asked quietly as if his volume was what would set her off not the question. But considering it was Paul she kept her cool yet tensed at the name. "Kay is the girl." Jane answered simply but Paul looked confused. "What girl?" He asked and she sighed sadly. "Kay is the owner of this body..... the other personalities have been around longer then me. They've been protecting her since she was a young girl. She doesn't come to the surface anymore. She hasn't in a very long time. Miranda took primary after- you know. And then I took over once Miranda- once Miranda left." Jane explained as Paul nodded slowly before looking heartbroken over something.
"So could you just leave like Miranda did? Like could you be replaced?" He asked sadly and Jane laughed cruelly shaking her head. "It's not like that. To disappear you have to- jump in the well. Killing yourself and slowly killing the memories that you made. Unless their- traumatic. Those ones stay." Jane muttered with her eyes glazing over as the brief memory of the orgy party where Miranda left came through. "But- why would she want to disappear? Would you ever want to?" He asked creeping up behind her but not touching her. "She did something wrong. She hurt everyone including Kay. And I was made stronger then her for a reason. She thought- she thought she was loved by some dick weed. She trusted him. And he just used that against her for his own sick pleasures." Jane spat hatefully towards the man she had met for only a few minutes.... And then punching his nose.
"He didn't also-" he asked beginning to shake behind her thinking a third man had hurt her like that. "No. Not like that anyway. He tricked Miranda that they were progressing in life and their sex life. Told her the best way to progress next was to have a stupid orgy party. It wasn't what Kay wanted or anyone for that matter." Jane mumbled again playing it over and over again how she had been created. Paul was shocked to hear she had lost her virginity to an actual 'boyfriend.' "I'm sorry. That you've been hurt so much Jane. I can wait an eternity if that's what you want. I'll be whatever you want." Paul said confidently as Janes eyes glazed over.
"That's the thing Paul- I don't know what Kay wants and that's my top priority. But- for some reason I think she wants to be happy. And for some reason you do that. There's been this force at times that keeps the others at bay. I never really felt that before you." Jane spoke with as much confidence as she could muster to match his energy but it still came out weary. "Does that mean- you want to date me?" He asked unsure what Jane wanted. "......... Yeah. But let's make some things straight right here and now. You will not get into my pants like every other bimbo who opens right up for the stupid fuckbois. You will not be allowed to touch me but I can touch you. And lastly.... You will not- push me past my comfort level or hurt me." Jane said stating her rules as Paul tried to fight the growing smile he felt on his face.
"Soooo is that a yes to you being my girlfriend?" He asked nervously and unsure scared she'd say no and he'd be embarrassed. "Yes." Jane said making him smile so big it had to hurt. " so what exactly am I allowed to do?" He asked inching closer a bit as Janes hands got sweaty. "Well obviously no sex. But- I suppose- a kiss here and there is fine." She struggled to say as he slowly approached her to not trigger anyone. He slowly and lightly put a hand on the side of her face that she leaned into the tiniest bit. She felt like the underground was lowly buzzing yet that force was there again, holding back the others from appearing.
It was one of the lightest kisses in the entire world, it was a nervous kiss. Not a lot of pressure, and he made sure not to allow himself to lose control like most wolves did when they had their first kisses with their imprints. He wanted her to choose what she felt comfortable with rather then his own desires. After the first light peck, Jane knew that wasn't what people considered a real kiss. So- she put more pressure into it, nothing crazy just enough and soon their lips moved slowly just in case Jane decided she didn't feel comfortable with it. But surprisingly she did. With Paul it just felt right, their lips simply moved together at a normal pressure as she slowly put her hands on his chest unsure of where she was supposed to put them. She had never kissed a guy before, yes some of the others had but never herself.
As she put the littlest bit more of pressure she heard a rumble and felt Paul's body shake a tiny amount. Pulling away she looked to him confused as he looked sheepish. She removed her hands from him and took a step back and stared at him as he scratched the back of his neck with a small smile. "Sorry- an imprints kiss is just very strong to the connection." He explained as she nodded slowly before squinting at him. "Your not horny are you? From like a regular kiss?" She asked with either disgust or confusion he couldn't tell as he gaped at her with a red face. "JANE! NO- it's just a wolf thing." He said flabbergasted as she walked past him with a small smile he didn't see. He began to follow her and plead his case before she began laughing at his expense. "Chill it was just a question.... Which now thinking of it if you had said yes I probably would have deballed you." Jane says in a normal voice with a shrug as he stops walking and looks down at his man hood before cringing and shaking his head.
He easily caught up to her short strides and wore a big proud smile that made Jane want to either punch or kiss him again..... maybe the ladder. As Emily's house came into view Jacob had just showed up and was leading Bella out for one of their famous walks to the beach. Jane felt her stomach drop a bit but tried to seem unaffected by it, but Paul easily saw the slightest of mood drops from her and followed her gaze to the two. "Don't sweat it, hanging out with Jake now a days is just him whining about Bella not wanting to date him. He's stuck in the friend zone because of a damn leech. She's not even his imprint, although he wishes she was." Paul snorted and Jane joined him thinking how pathetic it was as well.
"You know Charlie and Harry Clearwater are hunting for you guys tomorrow right?" Jane sighed glaring a bigger hole into Bella who simply was looking smaller and smaller the further they walked away. "Yup, but Harry's part of the council. He'll hide any evidence and only two of us will be in wolf form. Although the rest of us will be standing by in case the red head decides to attack the hunting party. Hopefully with no evidence they'll stop the hunting after tomorrow and maybe we'll get the damn leech. Then I'll be free more often to take my beautiful girlfriend on more dates." Paul said with a smirk. This made Jane roll her eyes and lightly shove him away as Hammerhead fake gagged in the underground making her disgust for the newly formed couple visible.
Others however felt the weird new emotion begin to take over the underground, it was like a spreading disease. None of them had felt like this before.... Not even when Miranda had Tommy. It was new to them, and not that they would admit it but they kinda enjoyed the happiness that flowed around them. It was like they could begin to sense Kay more, and she hadn't been spotted since childhood. Though the happiness would be put on pause when Bella fucking Swan decided that jumping off the cliff was a smart idea.

Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source.

Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves.
