All of the Eclipse quotes are in quotations. This is a continuation of my other entry but it doesn't have to be read in order.

"Would you please tell me what you are thinking? Before I go mad?" Edward asked me a slight ring of panic coursed through his voice.

I snuggled deeper into his shoulder and gripped him tighter.

I was once again glad that he could not hear my thoughts. I kept thinking over and over again about the look of desperation that I saw in Jacob's eyes when I thought that he was going to bite me. I also thought of how close I had been to losing everything that Edward and I had. The thought made my grip on Edward tighten and he realized that I was not going to offer up any information. He picked me up and took me into the house.

Edward thought that it would be a good idea if I rested and he laid me in my bed. He kissed my hair lightly and told me to try to sleep.

Don't worry I won't leave you and I won't let anyone come near you again. Now you know why I didn't want you to go anywhere near those dogs.

I know Edward but it doesn't change anything. I have to do something to make Jacob understand that's it's my decision if I want to…to….

Die, Edward finished for me. Bella there are more than one way to die, so Please stay away from them. He leaned in and I thought that he was going to kiss me but he said with a half smile, First get some rest and then take a shower.

I closed my eyes, trying to be good and rest like he told me to, but I could still see the look in Jacob's eyes and I knew that I could not give up that I would have to find a way to see Jacob again and make him understand.

When I finally reopened my eyes the light was different in my room, I must have slept. I sat up expecting to see Edward sitting on my bed keeping watch over me but instead it was Alice who smiled at me from the edge of my bed.

Hi Alice, where's Edward?

He went to talk to Carlisle I came here to stay with you under strict orders not to let you out of my sight until he comes back.

So I'm your hostage, I said jokingly Alice's face fell not getting my sarcasm

No, No, Bella I am not holding you here we can go anywhere you want.

Alice I was joking, I said quickly not wanting, of all people, to hurt Alice's feelings

Oh I get it, well if all I have to do while you're my hostage is watch you sleep then "This hostage stuff is fun." Edward was right you are funny when you sleep.

Did I say something while I slept?

Well you did say a couple of things. Alice said with a giggle.

Growing more serious she said, you did say Jacob's name a couple of times. And then she looked deeper into my eyes and said I know what you are planning.

Oh Alice you of all people must understand why I have to try to talk to Jacob. He was my best friend and was there for me when I needed him the most. And now it's my turn to be there for him.

I groaned, spilling my deepest worries to her.

Besides, if it wasn't for me then the treaty would not be threatened and there would still be peace between your family and them. Sometimes I wish that one of my accidents would just end it already.

"Do you think either of them would give up if you died? They'd still fight, we all would. You can't change anything, so just be good, okay?" Alice said giving my hand a little comforting pat.

So you also think that I should stay away from Jacob too?

Alice's eyes flickered off of my face and looked away. The future is unclear; too many things have not been decided yet.

At that moment I heard my name being called from downstairs. Bella I'm home. Charlie yelled up the stairs.

Come on Bella, cheer up and stop worrying, "You're going to go prematurely gray." Alice giggled at her little joke she jumped off the bed and glided out of the room. I drug myself off the bed and walked down the stairs behind her.

Hiya Alice, Charlie said always happy to see Alice

Hi Chief Swan, Alice said flashing one of those Cullen dazzling smiles.

As always my father was Jell-O in her capable hands.

At that moment the phone rang from the kitchen. Charlie was closest so he picked it up and then handed it to me saying that it was Jacob.

I took the phone cautiously and said Hello.

Hi Bells, it's me. I'm sorry I acted really bad earlier.

That's ok Jake I understand. Trying to be cryptic while I was being scrutinized by two pair of eyes who were trying to judge my every reaction.

"I think I might have been wrong before, you know, about not being able to be friends. Maybe we could manage it, on my side of the line. Come see me" What do you say about coming out now so we can talk?

That sounds good Jake.

Hey Bella what's going on you sound strange, then he paused realizing, Is someone there, listening?

Yeah, I paused and then said I'm just here hanging out with Alice.

I see, he said, his voice sounded stressed. Find a way to come out Bella we really need to talk. The line clicked and then went dead.

Ok Jake Thanks for calling. I said to the dead line and hung up.

Well Bella what did Jacob say, he called you for once, things are working out. Charlie was proud of himself thinking that by mandating me to balance my time being spent on the Cullen's and my other friends was working out for the better.

Yeah, he just wanted to apologize for not calling me back and said that we should get together sometime and do something.

That will be nice; you haven't hung out with Jake in a long time.

Yeah, I said absentmindedly.

Well right now all I want to do is to take a hot shower and catch up on my homework. Alice thanks for visiting, I said trying to hint that I was safe enough now and she could go home.

Ok Bella, I will wait for you, I will talk with Charlie while you take a shower, then we can work on homework together.

She obviously did not get the hint, or she did and decided that Edward would be a force not to be reckoned with if she left me alone before he got back.

Ok then. I will be quick.

I went upstairs and grabbed my shower bag and went into the bathroom and started the shower. I hoped that Alice would hear the shower and be thrown off just for a little while until I could get onto La Push land to talk with Jacob.

I opened that bathroom window and climbed through, it was a little too easy to get out of the house, I will remember that for the next time.

Now my next problem was how I was going to get all the way out to La Push. I could not start my truck because the motor would give me away. And I did not have enough time to walk all the way before some clever vampire finally caught up with me.

Then I remembered that I still had my motorcycle. Charlie had angrily thrown it in the shed after Jacob had dropped it off, but had never banned me from riding it. I went to the shed and rolled it out. I pushed it far enough away from the house so that not even a vampire could hear its engine start.

It took me a couple of times to kick start the motor, but I was a pretty good rider after all the times I had used the motorcycle to brush danger in order to hear Edward's voice. And I drove out to Jacob's with no problem even if I had to go all the way there in 1st gear.

I knocked on Jacob's door and Embry opened it. "Hey, vampire girl!" Embry said.

I looked past him liking the nickname even less. Inside the room I could see Jacob slunched over with his head in his hands. Next to him stood Sam with the rest of the werewolf pack. Jacob raised his head and I could see that he was fighting back tears. Bella I'm so sorry, he said barely above a whisper.

Jacob what have you done. I asked looking from him to Embry who was standing at the doorway and then looked up at Sam.

Bella we don't want to hurt you, we just want to protect you. Sam said as he walked closer to me. Before I could back out of the doorway, darkness came over me and I felt myself floating.

I was at the mercy of a pack of werewolves.
