Chapter One

Disclaimer: I don't own anything!!

Bella's POV

I heaved another box of flowers onto the table. I was helping Alice set up for my wedding. My job was to decorate the huge arch Edward and I would stand under during the ceremony tomorrow. I had it half covered with day lilies. They were a subtle fuchsia, the same color as the bride's maid's dresses.

I was standing on a chair, trying to reach the top to pin a flower on when something grabbed me around the waist. At first I thought it was Edward, but then realized Edward would never try to shove a gag in my mouth.

I started kicking and trying to scream through the thick cloth. The person merely sprinted on, never breaking stride.

I looked up and saw Jacob's agitated face. He had cut his hair again, and his face was older looking, haggard somehow.

I tried yelling at him, "Put me down Jacob! Damn't! Put me down!" but it came out like, "Pff mmm dwfff! Wntt! Pff mmm dwff!"

Where was Edward when I need him? I tried looking behind me to see if anyone noticed me being rudely carried off, but Jacob's massive shoulders blocked my view.

Jacob's long strides carried us up the mountain in no time. At the top there was small circle of trees, and in that circle there was a small hut, a lot like the one Billy lived in La Push.

He shoved through the door and threw me on the couch, not very gently I might add.



After I got the cloth out of my mouth I was yelling at him, "What the hell were you thinking? If you wanted to talk, you could have called! My wedding's tomorrow! Edward's going to go ballistic!"

"Shut up Bella! I'm trying to think!"
"Think about what? How to woo me into loving you? You're way too late, I can hardly even trust you!"

"What in the hell have I done that's so damn bad?"

"Hmm, let's think! Kissing me without my permission, tricking me into kissing you, ignoring me all those months that Edward was gone, calling all the people I love names, and now, kidnapping me on the eve of my wedding! Would you like me to name some more?"

I paused for him to answer watching him. His was shaking. Small growls were coming from his clenched teeth.

"I brought you here to think about your options, away from the bloodsucker's influence," he said in a slow voice.

"What?"

"I finally figured it out Bells! That blonde leech's power is to influence your emotions! He's been making you love Edward! It's okay, I know it will be hard to break through all that muck he's been clouding your brain with, but I'll help you."

"You think Jasper is controlling my emotions? You're more messed up than I thought." I said acidly.

"Bells, you don't mean that. I know that's what they taught you say, but you need to remember who you were before you met him."



"Jacob this is me! I love Edward. I love you too, but not as much as I love Edward! I've made my choice, and it's time for you to move on."

His body started shaking harder. "You're going to need some persuasion," and with that he grabbed the tops of my arms and pulled me toward him. I clawed at him and tried to pull away, but he kept bringing me closer.

His lips, hot and disgustingly wet, smothered mine. I did exactly what Edward told me to do, and kneed him in the balls.

Jacob shoved me away and started shaking again. His eyes were changing. I knew I had to get out of there.

I ran for the door and yanked it open just as Jacob erupted in fur. I heard a roar of fury and the clicking of claws on wood as I ran from the shack and down the mountain side.

Of course I fell. Before I could get back up, Jake's claws came down, ripping open four bloody gashed from ribs to hips. I cried out.

The smell of blood and the blood loss pushed me over the edge of consciousness. Before blacking out I saw a russet wolf run into the surrounding woods.

AWWWW!! What will happen? You better read on. I hope you enjoyed! Please review!!

Today's my birthday, so I was in the mood to write, sorry I haven't written anything good in awhile.

I'm kinda being random right now! Night!
