Wind beneath my wings
Chapter 1
Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be…
I can fly higher than an eagle….
You are the wind beneath my wings….
That song ran through Bella's head and so did that meeting at the forest that seem like only yesterday. That song was probably the only thing that kept Bella sane nowadays. Perhaps it was yesterday that the real Greg showed up and announced that a demon, who's heart is filled with nothing but pure rancor, wants Bella's and Luna's hearts and perhaps…their very soul. Yes, that memory played over in Bella's mind like a movie except she had no remote to pause it or turn it off like she would have liked. She fidgeted with the zipper of her green hoodie as she sat outside Jacob's room, forbidden to go see him until he wakes up.
Greg stood like a warrior in front of her bearing bad news and a face that bore a fake smile that even I couldn't understand. Smiles don't make anything better. The truth does or at least she thought, I used to think so.
"Because a demon is coming for you…he wants you dead. He wants both of you dead. He wants your hearts."
I couldn't say anything for there was nothing to say. I was speechless and…for the moment, alone. Dead? Oh this simply could not be! I was used to vampires wanting my blood and my very death and my very immortality and my love all at the same time, but a demon? No, I just can't handle this! Those thoughts had run through my mind at the time like bugs and were very hard to get rid of. Hell, I still have those thoughts today.
Luna had tug on my arm. "Come on Bella, we have to go back to the house."
I finally hit rock bottom. I didn't respond.
"Bella, come on."
I didn't respond.
"Bella, Jacob's going to want to see you when he wakes up you know."
I sigh, only Jacob could make me get up. With a frown still smeared on my pale face, I turned away from Luna's father, my brother in-law, and headed towards the Black residence.
"I have been here for hours," Bella sighs.
Luna POV
"Ow," I wince at the pain. Today is the day. Today is the day we must burn Elaine's body.
"Don't move honey," Seth cautioned me as he put some ointment on my arm, "you suffered some hard blows."
"I am half vampire you know Seth," I scowled. "I can handle myself."
"Yes but having a little extra back up doesn't hurt," He winked his eye.
My face got hot all of a sudden and my raced along with his. We sat there for a couple seconds, staring into each other's milky brown eyes.
Jacob POV
I ran. An army of dead, leaf less tress scowled at me and laughed at me. Their branches moved as if they were reaching out to attack me but I'm not foolish enough to believe such folly. Never!
"Jacob," a voice whispered.
I stopped.
"Jacob," the voice whispered again.
I know that voice. I know that voice too well. Bella.
"Jacob," Her beautiful voice, which was sweet to my ears, caressessed the inside of my ear and made me smile.
"Bella," I breathed. "Bella….My bella! Where are you?" I just want to take her into my arms, her hug, kiss her, and never let her go. Oh, Bella, god, where are you? Where did you go? I start to run again but this time with a new twist; I'm screaming her name.
Her image appears suddenly, like a ghost but she does not speak.
"Bella?" I take a step forward but regret it soon enough. She looks up and her eyes are not Bella's. Those eyes are not Bella's! They held my gaze but soon enough, I tore my eyes away from the evil red eyes of hers or rather, its. The fake Bella grinned, revealing very large teeth with blood tainted on the ends of it. Is it a vampire? I sniff the air. No, it's not a vampire. It can't be. I don't recognize this scent. The fake Bella held out her arms and they began to transform into a large, black beast and soon Bella's face was consumed in the blackness of the rancor driven monster. It opened its oversized mouth to speak and its voice was nothing like before.
"Jacob Black. Ephraim Black's grandson…quite a pleasure meeting the legend's grandson but I'm afraid you're in my way."
"How?"
It chuckled."You know what I want."
"No I don't."
"You're in my way of getting to Bella. It is her I want after all. You mangy wolves can keep Luna. You can have her!"
"What do you want with my wife?"
"You can ask Lillian that," It grinned. "We did make a deal."
"Deal? What are you talking about?"
It didn't answer. It just brought its claw up and slashed my body into a million pieces…..like glass.
I jolted out of bed. Please, tell me that was just a dream.
