This One-shot takes place in the middle of Breaking Dawn; when Bella is pregnant and Jake is thinking about taking out as many of the vampires as he can;

I just elaborated a bit on his thoughts.

Jacob Black…

I couldn't kill Edward.

Not because I'm some compassionate freak,

Not because I didn't have the heart to do it.

No, that wasn't it…

It was because I didn't have a heart anymore.

It had been ripped out repeatedly by the girl I loved;

Leaving me an empty shell.

I had seen that look of anguish touch his stony features; like he was burning at the stake;

When he thought of losing her.

Why then, should I kill him?

And allow him to escape that fate?

It would be so much more rewarding,

So much more satisfying, to simply leave him with noting;

Nothing at all.

I couldn't kill Edward.

Because I didn't have a heart.

Hope you enjoyed it;

please review!
