Breaking Dawn
Intro
"Jake?" His scent burnt my nose. But I easily fought the urge to attack. His russet-coloured fur was unmistakable, and yet he showed no signs of recognition- Edward hadn't even 'heard' him approaching.
"Jake?" I called again, sharper this time, as he settled into a crouch, almost like he was preparing to spring. I shot a worried glance at Edward, but he seemed just as confused as me.
"There's nothing," he said, voice quivering. "It's his scent alright, but… Bella, his mind is gone."
"Gone?" I said. If I'd been able to, I'd have fainted. I turned back to Jake, who was lopping closer. Suddenly he leapt at me, his speed and agility almost taking me off guard. Instinctively I jumped out of the way, but he was beside me again, jaws snapping just inches from my face. "Jake!" I screamed as Edward threw him away.
Edward and I stood back-to-back ducking and leaping out of reach of Jake's sharp claws and teeth. We couldn't continue this forever- Edward's sleeve was torn from rescuing me the first time, and it was only a matter of time until Edward's flesh was the next thing torn. Loathe as I was to hurt Jake, I couldn't let Edward get hurt.
Jake had to be stopped. With force if necessary.
He wheeled towards me again, and I had to stop him, to hurt him, to protect Edward from my best friend, my other lover. In my heart, tears fell.
