A/N- So I am def team Jacob, but I never thought of what would happen if she choose Jacob...

Of course the Volturi would have to kill her...so here is that story =)

Escaping Death

Chapter One

The Final Decision

Kiss me those two words started it all. How could I have been so stupid to say that. Why did I like it so much? The guilt was eating at me and I knew that Edward had to find out. I knew that I had to tell him. I walked back to the camp sight. I went to the tent and fell down to my knees thinking about what had just happened.

"Bella, what's wrong?" Edward was the last person I wanted to see right now. He had risked so much for me since we had been together, and this was how I repaid him.

"I'm a horrible person." I said miserably.

"Bella, you are not…" He was silent for a second, listening I assume. "Oh…" He chuckled, I looked up confused. "Do you really think Jacob is that noble? He was going to kiss you either way. Jacob has really loud thoughts, love"

So Jacob tricked me? I should have known, but to be honest I couldn't bring myself to be mad at him.I was quiet. "Edward….I—"

He interrupted me. "She's here I can hear her thoughts." Edward grabbed my hand and took me outside and stood slightly crouched trying to protect me.

Victoria came and I watched as Edward battled her, she wasn't alone though. A vampire named Riley was there, but Seth was in the process of trying to kill him. I watched as Riley knocked Seth down I waited for him to get up but he didn't. I looked around in panic, I couldn't just stand here helplessly. I had to help Seth and Edward. I saw a rock, sharper then any I had seen before.

I picked it up and held it to my arm. I thought of the third wife and her sacrifice, would me sacrificing myself help Seth and Edward.I knew that this would distract both Victoria and Riley, but then a face popped into my head, Jacob's. I couldn't put him through the pain of losing me. But at the same time, I couldn't let Seth die. He was only a kid, he had a whole life ahead of him to live. I had to do it, besides it was the wound that killed the third wife, not a vampire.

Riley turned to help Victoria and then I watched as Seth sprang up and grabbed Riley by the arm and start shaking his head. "Victoria!" Riley yelled, he knew that without her help he would die. She however ignored his cries for help. Instead she looked at him with the utmost hatred and disgust. "Victoria!" He cried again, by then though Seth had taken off both his arms and was now working on his head.

And then I felt her gaze turn to me. She snarled and leapt towards me. I saw Edward launch himself at her, and thankfully she was too distracted by getting to me to notice that he was with her. I looked away from both of them and heard a sickening crunch. I saw Victoria's head roll on the ground and her red eyes were staring at me. I suddenly got the chills.

"Bella, love, put the rock down." I realized I was frozen and wasn't moving. I was gripping the rock so hard; I could feel it digging into my hand. I released it and felt my hand release all the pain. I dropped and sat down on the ground. I saw Seth start putting the pieces of Riley with Victoria. Edward rushed over to help him and when they were finished Edward took out a lighter and lit them on fire. I watched as their bodies were engulfed in the flames.

I heard Seth howl. "What's wrong? Is someone hurt?" I asked frantically. My mind went straight to the possibility that it was Jacob.

Edward hesitated. "It's Jacob." My heart sank. No, not Jake...not my Jacob! "Leah tried to take on a newborn by herself, Jacob saw she was outmatched and stepped in. The newborns are very strong, and he got his arms around Jacob. Bella...they crushed him. I'm not sure of the severity of it..."

"No…" That couldn't be good. A newborn crushed him, there was no way he was okay.

"Bella, we have to go. We have to go down there." He set me on his back and took off down the mountain. We were at the empty field within a few minutes. I saw Carlisle looking at Jacob. I ran over to him, I could see the pain in his face. His face was scrunched up and he was clutching the right side of his body.

"Carlisle, they're almost here!" I heard Alice scream.

"Sam, you must go. The Volturi will be here soon, and they will not respect our alliance. I will be over as soon as we're done here." Carlisle said.

I watched as the pack picked up Jacob and carried him into the woods. I watched until I could no longer see them. What if Jacob wouldn't heal right? What if his bones were never right again? I felt someone leading me over to the other Cullen's. I couldn't get Jacob's face out of my head. He was in so much pain and it was all my fault. If he was seriously hurt, it was my fault...he was fighting to protect me.

I watched as Jane, Alec, Demetri, and Felix emerged from the other side of the woods. As they approached us, it looked as if they were gliding towards us, not walking. It surprised me after all this time I could still be mesmerized by vampires. I listened as Carlisle and Edward explained that Victoria was responsible for all the damage down and for all the newborns. They explained that she wanted revenge on Edward for killing James. Towards the end though all of their focus was on a newborn named Bree who the Cullen's had offered a chance to survive a chance to be one of them. However, Jane did not like the thought of that.

"The Volturi don't offer second chances. You should remember that, Caius will be interested to know that she's still human." She looked right at Edward and I.

"The date is set." Edward said, and squeezed my waist. I knew that he couldn't stand the thought of anyone hurting me.

"Felix, take care of that. I'd like to go home."

"Cover your ears." I listened as Felix destroyed Bree, even though the Cullen's offered to take responsibility for her. I knew that what Jane said was right, if next time they saw me I wasn't a vampire they would kill me...but what would happen if I choose to be with Jacob? Would they let me survive? Probably not...

As soon as we got back to the Cullen's I got in my truck and went right over to the reservation. I heard Jacob screaming as I got out of the truck. I saw Billy cringe as he heard his son cry out in pain.

"How long has it been like this?" I couldn't believe that Jacob had to go through this. I couldn't believe all this pain he felt was because of me.

"About a half hour...Carlisle has to rebreak all the bones in order for them to set right. The healing started and they didn't heal right..." Emily said and with that we heard another scream. I saw Emily squeeze Billy's hand when he screamed.

Carlisle came out after another ten minutes, "He's been asking for you." He said to me.

I looked at Billy and he nodded for me to go in. I didn't want to see him unless Billy told me it was okay. I ran in and Jacob was laying on the bed sweating profusely and in pain. The pain was in his face, it was still scrunched up and his right arm was in a sling. "Hey Jake."

"I'm sorry if he was hard on you." He said instantly. I knew that he was referring to Edward and our kiss.

"He wasn't even mad. He wasn't mad at you or me."

"Damn, he's better than I thought. At least I tried everything."

"Jake, what do you mean?"

"To get you to choose me, I mean. It wasn't easy getting you to admit your feelings for me." He said with a smirk.

"I do love you Jake." I looked down. I knew that what I was feeling was real and that it wasn't going to change. I wanted Jacob...not Edward.

"I only wish that was enough." He sighed.

I took a deep breath and said "Jacob, what if I told you it was."

His head shot up to look at me. "Bella…don't kid." I was quiet I couldn't say anything. "I am perfect for you in every way. Being with me would be as easy as breathing. Bella, he is like a drug to you. He isn't good for you, he has put you in nothing but danger. Me...I would be like your own personal sun. I would be your sunshine and be healthier for you then he is."

I realized how true his last statement was. But even before he said that, I knew that he was a healthier choice for me. But that wasn't why I had choose him. "I know. You're right."

"Bella…what does this mean?"

I swallowed hard and took a deep breath. I stood up and moved closer to him, until finally our lips were a half inch away from each other. We stayed like that for a few second and then he pushed his lips against mine. He kissed me eagerly and it confirmed everything I was afraid of, I wanted him more than I knew and more than I expected. I pulled away. "This means I choose to have a sun instead of a drug."

He smiled. "I love you Bella."

"I love you too, Jake. I have to tell Edward. I will tomorrow or the next day, but I want him to unwind a little from the battle today before I tell him. I think it will be easier on him that way. But I do choose you Jake."

"I always knew the better man would win." He said with a smug grin on his face.

"Oh shut up, Jake." I said.

And with that, I got on his left side and laid down next to him. It was odd feeling warmth rather than the hard, cold stone I felt constantly with Edward. "This is how it was supposed to be Bella." Jacob said, before he kissed my head.

A/N- I didn't want to make this too long. I just wanted to get a feel for the story and see if I liked it. And I do, I think this is a good foundation and I already know what I would like to do with this

story. I just want to see what everyone else thinks about the chapter and the idea of the story
