Anthem of the Angels Chapter 1: The Attack, a twilight fanfic

Helllllllooo, everyone. Nice to see you after a long 2-3 months. :P here's my latest work. I'm STILL (yeah, I know, it's taking forever, blah blah blah :P) working on my other projects. This is just a taste of my JacobSeth obsession as of late… so maybe this will leave you wanting more? ^.^

Disclaimer: the Twilight Saga was not created by me. Nor do I own Jacob, Seth, Sam, Quil, or Embry. The Twilight Saga belongs to Stephanie Meyer and any third-parties that I don't know of. And the song that I used, Anthem of the Angels, does not belong to me either. No, the song belongs to Breaking Benjamin. Oooooh, Breaking Benjamin… *daydreams* haha…

"Jacob, no… You can't do this to me, Jacob." I plea with him, though he's fading fast. He smiles his Jacob smile at me. I sob.

"Don't worry about me, Seth. You'll be alright."

White walls surround us…
No light will touch your face again…
Rain taps the window
As we sleep among the dead…

His words are as grim as his condition. He fought a coven of bloodsuckers all alone. They were strong, too strong for just him. It happened before anyone could get here. And he's been barely holding on for days. I've stayed with him when no one else would. Could.

*
Days go on forever,
But I have not left your side…
We can chase the dark together,
If you go, then so will I…
*

"Please, Jacob, stay with me!! I need you… I need you to be here!!" I've held his hand and knelt by his side since I found him. If only we had gotten to him sooner… He could've healed. But it's too late now. Every wound that should have healed can't.

"Seth… I'm sorry. I shoulda come home sooner, huh…"

"Don't talk, Jake… Save your strength."

*
There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes!
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye…
*

I gaze into those chocolate eyes. He's losing his fight. He'll be gone soon. Nothing left to beg for. I just want to lay my head on his chest and cry. But I can't.

He's the only person I can ever love. He's strong, funny, and just amazing. He's everything I could ever hope for, and more. I could never ask for a better love. Yet ours never got a real chance.

*
Cold light above us…
Hope fills the heart
And fades away…
Skin white as winter,
As the sky returns to grey…
*

I need to hope that help will come soon. I HAVE to, or there's no reason for my waiting here. I'm supposed to be guarding him from the horrible creatures that did this. I can't let them come back and finish him.

*
Days go on forever
But I have not left your side
We can chase the dark together
If you go, then so will I…
*

"Seth, why haven't you gone…? Shouldn't you be home by now?"

"Jake, I have to stay here with you. Please, stop talking… I'll make you stop if you don't stop." He grins a little bit. Life flashes in his eyes. Hope sparks in my soul, and my heart skips a beat. All in one little instant.

"Then make me, baby…" I blush. How could he be flirting with me at a moment like this? I shake my head, then lean in and kiss his lips. They're cold and nearly unmoving. Almost like kissing a corpse.

I push that thought from my head and enjoy what might be our last kiss. My free hand comes to his chest, stroking his skin. I pull back.

"Hmm… Seth, I… I love you."

*
There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes!
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye…
I keep holding onto you,
But I can't bring you back to life!
Sing the anthem of the angels,
Then say the last goodbye…
*

I squeeze his hand a bit. "Just hold on for a bit longer, Jake. They'll be here soon." Even as I speak, tears fill my eyes. I know it's far too late. I just want him to love me and make love to me, just one time. But it's all impossible now. Our time was short lived, and hardly enjoyed the way it should have been.

"Seth, don't kid yourself. We both know I'm dyin." I hated his mood swings. One minute, he's flirting; the next, he's speaking in morbid tones.

"Jake, don't say that! You could very well make it out of this alive." More tears prick at my eyes, but that hope sparks in me again. My heart skipps once again. Hope, however mistaken, is there. Maybe he could pull out of this. No, but his death is inevitable if they don't get here soon.

*
You're dead alive...!
*

I look into the eyes of my passing love. They're dull, but there's still some life in there. He looks nearly like a corpse. All but his eyes are dead. I lay down next to him and kiss his cheek. I bury my face in his neck. I just want to know that we can be together after this awful experience. No matter how futile the wish is.

I feel his hand come up to stroke my cheek. I look at him, and understand. His eyes plead with me. I kiss his lips softly, just as I hear approaching footsteps. They've made it, finally!

"Jake, they're here… Your dad, Sam, Quil, Embry, and a doctor. You're gonna be ok. They'll fix you… You'll make it!" I saw his smile through a film of tears. He nodded.

"Yeah, Seth. I love you. See you soon, baby."

"I love you, Jake. Goodbye."

A/N: a rather hopeful ending. This actually might just end up being a songfic prologue to a regular chapterfic that includes how he was injured and how his recover goes. Oh wow I just got this big flash of exactly how it could go. . well, we'll see how things go. It all depends on the mood I'm in later! :P

Hope you guys enjoy this songficlet (for now)!

Reviews for the starving artist??!
