A/N: I noticed that I never got around to informing you all that the lovely Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight and the characters before I published my last chapter… Oops.
All I own is a muse that keeps running away from home, a lot of internet bills, a computer and a very over active imagination.
Also: Be warned that I don't like Jacob… and this chapter shows it very clearly. It's only a short chapter but I wanted to leave you hanging. Cause I'm evil like that.

Alice and I chatted to Emmett in the car as Edward drove, scowling out the window at the scenery. I was glad I couldn't see the speedometer because, judging from the way the trees flashed by, we were going a lot faster than I'd usually feel safe doing.
Within half an hour we were pulling up in the parking lot to what appeared to be a popular night club. Jasper and Rosalie were leaning against a flashy red convertible waiting for us.
Alice skipped across to leap into Jasper's arms. It was pretty cute how he just held her up so they could stare into one another's eyes, but I felt as though I was intruding on a private moment so I shifted my eyes away from them. Unfortunately the next thing in my field of vision happened to be Rosalie and Emmett making out enthusiastically against the convertible.
Edward cleared his throat and the couples stepped apart looking apologetic.
"Let's get inside." He suggested.
We all murmured our assent and walked across the lot in a group, Rosalie was shooting daggers my way and Jasper didn't appear to be breathing.
There was a very large line to the doors of the club; however we didn't go to the end as I'd expected we would, instead Alice grabbed my hand and skipped forward to introduce me to the bouncers.
"Rick, Nash. This is my new best friend, Kristen." Alice sang happily as she hugged each bouncer quickly.
"Nice to meet you, Kristen. Are you here with Edward?" The Pilipino bouncer, Nash, asked, looking amazedly at Edward.
I didn't know what to say, I didn't think we were here together. But I didn't want to say no. Luckily Alice came to my aid again.
"We're all here together, as usual Nash. Kristen is my friend and Edward will have to convince me he can look after her before I give her up." Alice grinned slyly.
"Fair enough little pixie." The shorter bouncer, Rick, said laughing as he moved the barricade for us to enter the club.
Upon entering the club I was assaulted by the heavy bass, I could literally feel it in my chest. The music was loud and people were drinking, dancing and yelling. Being 20 I'd never been in a club before and I was amazed I hadn't been asked for ID and turned back.
Alice dragged me to the ladies room after Rosalie as the guys all head across the dance floor to find a place for us all to sit. The door closed behind me and I could suddenly hear myself think again.
Rosalie was fussing with her hair and pointedly ignoring the fact I existed while Alice was fussing with my hair and dress.
After a while she seemed happy with my appearance and dragged me back out of the bathrooms. She pushed her way to the bar and ordered a midori sunrise. When the drink arrived she handed it to me with a wistful look on her face. Before turning and dragging me through the crowd to a booth at the rear of the club.
Sitting down across from Edward I turned to watch Alice lead Jasper onto the dance floor where they began dancing slowly together, oblivious to the music and everyone but each other. Rosalie and Emmett were no where to be seen.
I blushed at the fact that they'd left me alone with Edward and quickly took a sip of my drink, marvelling at the taste.
"Is it good?" Edward asked me, a curious fire in his eyes.
"Very. Alice bought it and thrust it on me. I don't know why she didn't get one herself, she looked as though she wished she could." I replied, remembering the wistful look on her face.
"We don't drink alcohol..." Was his curt reply.
"Oh."
Suddenly he wrinkled his nose as though he could smell something disgusting. "Stay here, I need to talk to Alice."
I could only nod and watch as he quickly jumped up and led Alice across the dance floor whispering quickly to her.
"Can I get you another drink?" A deep voice asked.
I jumped and looked up to see someone I'd never expected to see again.
"Jacob?"
"Hey Bells. It's been a long time. How about that drink?" I could only nod numbly, realising that I should correct him on my name but unable to find my voice.
"Great. Wait here I'll be right back." He wove his was through the crowd.
My mind was reeling. Jacob. Jacob Black. My dad's best friend's kid who disappeared the day my family died 5 years ago. He was MUCH taller and had a lot more muscle. But he should only be 18, though it's easy to see why the bouncers would let him in, he looked 25.
His skin was the same dark colour I remembered, his hair was long and tied up at the base of his neck. But it was his smile that made me catch my breath. The same contagious smile I remembered.
But what was he doing here? He was obviously ok, did he know about my parents? Did he know anything? Where did he go? Where has he been?
I was startled out of my thoughts by him sliding into the booth with me and pushing me a new drink.
"So how have you been Bells?" He asked me from across the table.
"It's Kristen now…" I said stupidly.
"Oh? Why Kristen?" He looked genuinely confused.
"It's the name witness protection gave me after…" I trailed off. "Where did you go Jake?"
He looked uncomfortable. "I've been around."
Looking around I couldn't see any of the group I'd come here with but figured they wouldn't be far.
Jacob asked me what I was doing with myself these days, where I was living, what school I went to. I answered all his questions honestly, barely noticing that he didn't mention my parents once.
"Want another drink Bel… Kristen?" I looked down and was amazed to see I'd gone through both the drink Alice had given me and the one from Jacob.
"Sure." I smiled at him lazily. Somewhat shocked at how buzzed I was feeling, I'd never had a midori sunrise before but I was sure that two couldn't get me this drunk.
My mind was hazy and everything seemed to be going both in slow motion and high speeds. Before I knew it Jacob was in front of me, handing me another drink. I briefly wondered where Edward was but my mind couldn't find any urgency in that thought so I happily went back to reminiscing with Jacob about what I could remember of our time together.
I found myself answering every question Jacob asked me. Yes I was still a virgin, no I didn't have a boyfriend, yes I lived alone.
Jacob pulled me onto the dance floor and the world spun around me.
"I think you've had enough to drink." A voice said from underwater behind me.
Jacob said something to the security guard and picked me up bridal style. Carrying me out of the club. I knew something wasn't right but I couldn't think of what it could be…
Jacob opened the back of a van and laid me on a mattress on the floor. Getting in the front he drove it around a corner and suddenly it was dark there must not have been any lights in this part of the club.
Wait… I wasn't in the club anymore. I was in Jacob's van. And Jacob was climbing in the back with me. Something wasn't right with this… I pulled myself into a sitting position and tried to clear my head.
The next thing I knew Jacob's mouth was on mine and his body was pushing mine back down. I pushed at him vainly. But, surprisingly, he pulled away.
"What are you doing Jacob?" I slurred.
"You're mine Bells, you always have been." Jacob was undoing his belt.
"What are you talking about?" Everything was so confusing.
"You're parents were going to take you away from me. But you're mine. And then that leech came and everything was perfect. I gave him your parents and waited for you to come home. But something went wrong and I had to wait for you to go to that hotel." Jacob was panting now. Staring wildly into my eyes.
I couldn't move, I could speak. I couldn't comprehend what he was saying.
"I went into the hotel that night but there was that bronze hair leech there and he wouldn't let me near you. I had to leave. But I never left you; I just waited for him to leave you. So I could take back what belongs to me." I was starting to feel terrified under the fog of my mind.
"I only put one pill in your drink, but you're such a lightweight… Oh well, now it won't hurt you when I mark you as mine." Jacob was struggling with his pants.
"Mark me?" I asked stupidly, trying to distract him somehow.
"You still have your virginity. It belongs to me; I'm going to take it before someone else does."
At his words the door on the back of the truck was torn off with a loud screeching. Jacob rolled off me and standing at the end of the truck was the least likely of protectors.
"Rosalie." I croaked suddenly so relieved to see anyone but Jacob that I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
"Shh Bella. You'll be fine." She said looking as though she wished she could cry too. Just then Jacob lunged for her.
*Hides* Don't kill me!
Reviews make me happy.
