Chapter 1: Fade to Black

Author's Note: I want to start by saying this is a SLASH story, so if that's not your thing don't read it. This story doesn't fall the books verbatim, but bits and pieces will feel familiar. I love hearing from you guys, I want this story to feel like it's just as much yours as it is mine. And just so you know Bella will be around, but she hasn't moved to Forks yet and one of the boys WILL fall for her, leaving him with a decision to make. You might be surprised who he choose. And remember, PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or the characters, if I did, there'd be a fifth book...and like soon. :)

Jacob's paws pound the soft earth below them as he pushed himself into full speed. His eyes locked on the quickly retreating back of the stone cold leech. He'd been following the scent for weeks, along with the rest of the pack, but this one had been a crafty little sucker, but this time, this time he wasn't going to slip by.

Along with being crafty and tricky the son of a bitch was fast, too. Jacob knew that even at top speed, he'd eventually lose him. With his eyes dark in focus Jacob sprang forward, he had one chance at this...

A deep growl ripped it's way from Jacob's body as he collided into the back of the bloodsucker. He could hear the leech groan in protest and aggravation as they both collided with a tree, easily snapping it in half. Both 'men' recovered quickly and now the reeking bloodsucker turn to face Jacob, his eyes a dark crimson and his teeth barred, a low hiss echoing from his throat.

Jake could feel the hairs on his back rise and he barred his own teeth, offering up another growl, that cause his whole body to shake. Jacob worked in a slow circle watching as his new enemy did the same.

The vampire's eyes narrowed as he warily watched the wolf work closer with each circle, "I have no war with you, dog." His lips moved impossibly fast, but he knew from the returning bark that the animal had understood, "Fine. It's your death wish." And with that his body went rigid and he jumped forward tackling the large wolf as if he were a pillow.

Jacob rolled with the marble-like creature, yelping from the sudden impact. Apparently he'd been holding back in the speed department earlier. Jake tried to manipulate his weight so he would end up on top as he felt their momentum slowing, but the vampire pulled his knees in and then extended them, placing a swift and painful kick to Jacob's torso, sending him threw several small trees and into a small rock.

Jacob yelped once more as his body connected with the large stone and although he could feel it crack he also felt several parts of himself do the same. Jacob fell limp on the ground, the vampire standing over him before he finish.

Jacob moved, he had to get up, but he let a long howl of pain. There were so many things that hurt, that wouldn't move. The vampire smirked at his obvious impending victory. He lifted his left foot and swiftly brought it down on Jacob's broken form, earning another yelp and several more cracks, most-like from his ribs.

"Don't say I didn't warn you," the bloodsucker taunted him and Jake tried once more to rise but his opponent only applied more pressure to his side, keeping him in place.

Jacob knew what was coming next. As he felt his consciousness slipping away he knew he wouldn't be waking up again. This was it. He could feel the pressure slowing lessening off of his torso, but he was too weak to move. He closed his eyes and waited for the final blow that would end him, but once the foot was gone, there was nothing.

It wasn't half a second before he heard a similar collision from the one he'd had a few moments ago with the bloodsucker and then the snapping of a thick tree trunk and the sounds of hissing and blows landing. Jake wanted to open his eyes, but he was too far gone and he welcomed the darkness.

A/N: Can you guess who Jacob's mystery savior is? I know who I'm planning to use and I'm about to start the second chapter, but I'm more than willing to accept suggestions and change some things around.
