Betrayed by Instincts
Jacob was acting funny today. He seemed nervous and on edge. Jacob was always cool and collected. I was surprised when he asked me to go for a walk through the res with him that morning. It was so out of the blue.
I met him at his place around nine. Edward was a few miles away hunting with his brothers. I knew that Edward would have a problem with Jacob and I spending time together. Edward knew Jacob's thoughts. He knew how badly Jacob wanted me.
And I knew this too. Jacob had been very open with his feelings since I met him. I could always read Jacob. He was my best friend. But today, today was different. There was something on his mind, and I could not figure it out.
We were walking slowly through the woods, talking every once in awhile. I was waiting patiently to see if he was going to tell me what was on his mind, but when what seemed like forever went by, I decided I would step up and ask him.
"Jacob, is there a reason you brought me out here? Anything you wanted to talk about?" Jacob stopped walking when I asked him this. He became very nervous.
"I wanted to talk to you Bells." He grew quiet for a second. I knew where this was going. It was the same as always. Jake was going to ask me to leave Edward, ask me to fall head over heels in love with him. I was starting to get annoyed with him. I could feel my face becoming flushed.
"Bella, I want you. I need you so bad. I can't stop thinking about you. I want more than anything for you to feel the same way." I paused for a moment, trying to find the right words to make him once and for all understand.
"Jake, you know I can't. I've told you countless times that I'm with Edward. He is who I belong to." I was becoming angry with him. This wasn't a game. He was playing with emotions. I just wanted to hit him.
"Bells, I need you. It's becoming harder and harder to resist you. I can't take it anymore." He was shaking mad. I was worried that he was going to phase right here. He could hurt me, and then Edward would hurt him.
"Jacob, you're going to have to resist. Even if you don't resist nothing would change. I don't want what you do. I never will!" I was screaming at him. I wanted to hurt him as badly as he was hurting me.
"I'm not waiting anymore Bella. If you won't be with me, then I'll make you!" Jake ran at me so fast. He pinned me against a tree. He was kissing me all over my neck. I was in complete shock.
I began to yell at him. Begged him to stop. He was hurting me, my side was burning. I felt a rib snap. I yelled in agony. I couldn't catch my breath. His weight was making it impossible to take in any air. He clawed at my top ripping it and exposing my left breast. I started hitting him in the face the best I could, but it wasn't helping. I took one final blow with all my strength and felt my hand shatter.
"Jacob! Please stop, you're hurting me. I can't breathe." He was getting more and more aggressive. I began to become dizzy and was losing my sight.
Then all of a sudden, I could breathe. I could hear shouting off to my right. I looked over and saw Edward fighting with Jacob. It was deafening. Their blows made ear splitting crashes when they made contact on each others body.
I tried to get up. It was impossible. I still wasn't fully able to breathe and my side was in agony. I tried to concentrate on the event in front of me. I couldn't wrap my head around the idea that Jacob just tried to rape me.
I was so angry with him. I was divided. Half of me wanted them to stop. I didn't want Edward to kill my best friend, but I also wanted Edward to tear that vile piece of shit to shreds. I wanted to see Jacob's lifeless body laying in the dirt. Edward currently had Jacob pinned to the ground.
"How could you think of doing this! Did you not know I would fucking kill you!?" Edward was furious. I had never seen him so angry. Jacob was trying as hard as he could to get up, but it was no use. Edward was stronger than Jake was by a lot.
Edward looked back me as if for approval. I just nodded and closed my eyes. I heard a loud crack. Edward was at my side before I could open my eyes. Jacob was laying in the dirt, dead. Edward had punched a hole through his face and out the back of his head.
Edward was holding me. I was still in shock. I felt like crying but the tears couldn't come. I was surprised that I wasn't upset that Jake was dead. After what he tried to do he deserved it. I was sad that now the Cullens, my family, would be in trouble. I didn't know how they would get out of this one.
Just then we heard the wolves. They were howling in the distance and heading our way. I shot a look of worry at Edward. I knew he was a good fighter, but he could not take on the whole pack alone.
"Don't worry," he said. "We just happened to be close enough that I read his thoughts. I came running to help you. Jasper and Emmet ran to get the others."
How was I not supposed to worry. Now everyone was in danger. I heard movement coming from behind us. I turned in time to see the rest of the Cullens coming to us. Carlisle came to my side to examine my injuries.
"You have a broken rib and some bruises, but it's nothing life threatening." He looked away from me to the others. Alice then came over a handed me her jacket. I had forgotten that my breast was still exposed. Edward covered me and moved me to lean against a tree.
We could hear the wolves getting closer. I looked to Carlisle for a clue as to what their plan was. His face looked puzzled. Carlisle always knew what to do, and to see him confused scared me. Edward left my side to join his family who were huddled around Carlisle. I saw only six of them. I didn't notice that Rose was at my side with her arm around me.
I had never known Rosalie to have any concern for me. It was odd to see her being so kind to me. She was running her fingers through my hair, trying to keep me calm. At that moment I felt a new love and respect for Rose. I was hoping that she was finally starting to accept me as part of the family.
Edward came back to my side. Rose gave me a quick glance and then went to Emmett's side. "Carlisle thinks that we have no other options then to fight the wolves." I couldn't believe that these words were leaving his lips.
"What about the treaty? They'll expose your family, you'll have to leave. You can't leave me Edward!" My head was spinning. I was so afraid now. I was afraid that I would lose them. My family, especially my Edward.
"I can never be apart from you." I could see the honesty in his eyes. He meant every word he was promising me. I leaned forward to kiss him. He held it for a second and then jumped up. I could see the rest of the Cullens in battle stance.
I looked in the direction they were facing and saw the entire wolf pack slowly drawing into the field.
