"Guys, she's here, I smell her, she is going east towards the beach, let's get this over with once and for all.
Everybody in position, Paul and Jared go the beach by the short-cut , Jake and Embry...Emby where the fuck is he .
Embry get your ass here now ,this isn't the moment to take a break ,Embry ....... Embry ..... "
Everybody was running towards the beach, everybody except for Embry. I could feel he was still phased, but it was like his mind had shut images, no thoughts and no movements came from him. This wasn't like him to miss all the action, usually he was the first in line for a little leach killing, something was definitely wrong. Paul and Jared where almost to the beach when they saw the redheaded cornered her with the help of Sam, but she managed to slip between their paws. All of a sudden Embry's mind started to open again, but the only thing I could get was intense anger, shock and disbelief. Then partial images started to come in flashes, but to fast for any of us to see anything. A clear image finally came and it hit me like a tone of bricks. I stopped running, my body just wasn't responding to my brain anymore. What I saw then was the most horrible view I had ever seen and being a werewolf god knows I saw a lot of traumatic things, but this was definitely on the top of the list. Harry clearwater and charlie where lying one next to the other, face down in a pool of blood, their lifeless limbs where in unnatural positions. When the smell hit me I almost thought up. The salty smell coming from their blood and the disgusting sweet smell of vampire mixed together made me sick. We where to late I couldn't hear any heart beats, they were dead and we couldn't do anything about it. Our job was to protect people and we had failed, most of all I had failed to keep my promise to bella that I would never let anything happen to her or charlie.
Sam's thoughts instantly responded to mine
"Jake this is not your fault we did our best "
"Sam, you don't understand, I promised bella that I would protect him and now he is dead. What the fuck am I going to do, how am I suppose to deal with this. How do I tell her that because I failed her father is never coming back "
Bella, my bella she was so lifeless when her bloodsucker left her, I remember the day she came to me with those motorcycles, she looked like a mess. I had never seen a person look so depressed accept for my father when my mother died. She was just starting to smile again and now this was definitely going to bring her back to a dark place. Althought Bella and her father had the weirdest father/daughter relationship I had ever seen, I knew that Charlie loved his daughter and that Bella would give her life to save her father's. That was just bella, so unselfish and giving she often forgot to take care of herself. I remember when my mother died it just didn't sink in. No matter how many times Rachel would tell me that she was not coming back I just couldn't believe that she was gone forever. I had passed several phases of grief. First I was angry at my mother for letting me down , then I was careless making people think it didn't affect me at all, then I had cried for weeks before reaching the last phase, acceptance. Sure I was still sad about my mother's death, but I now focused on the memories and thoughts of her I could keep and cherish.
A strong sweet smell burning my nostrils took me out of my thoughts. The vampire she was here and she was close. Anger blinded me and without thinking I ran towards her awful smell. I had to catch her this had already gone to far, she had done enough damage, this just had to stop. I ran as fast as I could, but my body was weak and tired. The constant patrols around the rez and bella's house was wearing all of us down. I couldn't remember the last time I had a hole night of sleep, or any sleep at all.
I was still running I could now see the beach from where I was. I could smell that I was getting closer to her that's when I saw somebody on the cliff. The dark sky covered with black clouds, the sound of big waves crashing on the rocky side of the cliff, the frantic thoughts coming from the others, all of it just disappeared when I saw who was standing on the very top of the cliff, Bella. Bella, the person I loved the most in my life was standing inches from the side of a 70 meter high cliff with death sized waves just waiting to swallow her alive.
"what the fuck is Bella doing up there " that was the first thing Embry thought when he came out of it.
As I was getting closer I could see her lips moving like she was talking to someone, but there was nobody there.
"Jake what is bella doing on the cliff?"Embry insisted.
then it hit me, cliff jumping, I had promised to take her jump.
"what? cliff jumping all alone in a storm what is she nuts or suicidal"
suicidal, I had never taught about it, but now that Embry had brought it up it wasn't that crazy. No she wouldn't do that to charlie, to me, would she? I had told her that I loved her, but I didn't tell her everything because I knew she wasn't ready for that kind of relationship. I knew her bloodsucker had fucked her up really bad, but was it that bad that she taught she was better off dead than here with me.
"for god's sake stop wining and get the hell up there before she jumps "
I started climbing the cliff as fast as I could to get to bella before she could jump, but then I remembered I was still phased.
If I reached the top in wolf form I would definitely scare her down the cliff, I had to phase back. Before I knew it I was in human form trying to pull up my shorts while running. When I managed to pull up my shorts I was only feets from the top, and that's when I heard a loud scream, Bella had jumped. I ran as fast as I could, and without looking back I jumped, all I could think of was that I just had to save Bella, I knew I just couldn't live without her, my imprint.
