DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight or anything Twilight related. That honour goes to the amazing Stephenie Meyer…who, deep down, we all wish we could be. :D

Okay so here is the second Chapter…Edward returns. Hope you like it, this one took me a while as I wasn't sure where to go with it next. But I think it turned out okay. Reviews are welcome! I think this is all I will do with this, but if you think I should continue, let me know!

P.S: Thank you to everyone for their reviews of the first Chapter! :D

Enjoy..

……………………………………..

When my eyes inched open the next morning, I was blinded by how bright it was.

Morning…

Soon, the fighting would really begin.

"Jake?" I whispered.

No answer. His enormous form was draped over me, practically crushing me. I ran my fingers through his hair…hoping it would wake him up.

His eyes opened quickly, startling me.

"What time is it?" he asked.

"I have no idea. It's morning though."

"Crap, I've gotta go talk to Sam."

I breathed a sigh of relief as he moved off me, sitting up next to me in the sleeping bag. But still…I didn't want him to leave me.

"Please stay Jake…"

"I can't. I have to help them."

"But…" I began, not exactly sure what kind of argument I could form to persuade him not to help his friends, his brothers.

Jacob smiled, but I could see the worry in his eyes. Leaning down slowly, he took my face in his hands and pressed his lips to mine. There was a touch of urgency in the kiss, a feeling I knew well.

I wanted so badly to pull his body closer to mine, to touch every inch of him again…but I knew Jacob wouldn't let that happen. Nothing like that could ever happen again. We both knew that.

"I'll never forget last night Bells. I love you…" he told me, kissing me softly on the forehead, then getting out of the sleeping bag and walking away.

I was about to call out to him, just to see if he would hold me one more time before he went off to fight…when I saw who was waiting for him at the entrance to the tent.

"Edward…"



I was both shocked, and embarrassed. Jacob smiled, staring at Edward with such concentration that I could immediately guess what he was doing. Within a few seconds, Edward had no doubt seen everything that had happened with Jacob and I, via Jacob's thoughts.

With that, Jacob left. I had no idea if I would ever see him again, but at that moment I had more pressing things on my mind. Edward walked over to me and sat down next to the sleeping bag. His face was entirely expressionless.

An intense wave of guilt set in at that moment. My cheeks became flushed and I could tell they were bright red. I didn't know what to say…what could I say?! He had seen everything! How could I make him understand?

I couldn't…he had to be furious with me.

"I'm not angry with you Bella." he announced in yet another one of those instances in which I suspected he was lying about not being able to read my thoughts. I felt relief temporarily, but the fact that he would not look at me was not reassuring. "I do wish he hadn't given me quite so much detail in his mental images though."

I cringed.

"As I've said to you before Bella…I don't want you to miss out on the human experiences you would have had if the circumstances were…different. Had I not intervened in your life…being with Jacob is the normal course your life would have taken. We can all see that. I just wish it didn't hurt you so much…loving him…"

I was shocked, again. "How can you NOT be angry with me?!"

"You love him…"

"Yes,"

"He did ask your permission before doing anything…which is quite possibly the only thing I am actually angry about."

"What? Why?!"

"Because now have no excuse for killing him." he explained with a grin.

I held out my arms, asking him to hold me. He was in the sleeping bag with me before I could blink, his cold marble arms wrapped around me…his beautiful lips at my neck.

For a while we just lay there in complete silence. Edward planted soft kisses along my neck and jaw, trying to calm me down.

It wasn't working.

As we lay there I was extraordinarily grateful that he couldn't read my thoughts…because all I could think about was Jacob…

I wished it was Jacob's arms around me once more.

Jacob's lips caressing my skin…



I pictured myself leaving the tent, running as fast as I could through the trees…trying to find him. In my mind I saw the wolf-Jacob running towards me, then the next thing I knew…he was back to human form again.

"What are you doing Bells? You can't be out here, it's too dangerous!" - the dream-Jacob yelled at me.

His hair was all over the place and his pants were almost falling off him. I shivered as I imagined what it would look like. His beautiful chest completely bare, breathing heavily from all the running…his pants so low that I could almost see…

"I can't lose you Jake. I love you, I need you!" I would say to him, tears probably streaming down my face.

Then, in a few strides I would march forwards and crush myself to him, refusing to let him leave me. I'd push him back against one of the trees, kissing him as fiercely as my weak body would allow me to...

"It's always been you Jake…I can't deny it anymore."

In my mind I was forceful, ripping off my shirt, then my bra…much to Jake's surprise.

If I didn't fight for him, I would lose him. He would leave me, he would fight…and he could die. I wasn't going to let that happen.

Very slowly, we sank to the ground, so that I was sitting on top of him, his back lying on the grass beneath us. His tongue ran over my nipples, making me moan. I grinded against his hardness, liking the noises he made when I did.

Just as I reached for his pants and started pulling them downwards, a faraway musical voice jolted me into reality again.

"Bella stop!!" the voice screamed at me.

When I opened my eyes and looked around, I saw that I was in the tent again.

I sighed. Had I been dreaming?

With a flash of shock I realized that I was lying on top of Edward, wearing only my bra and underwear. His expression was one of absolute shock, but largely worry.

The second thing I noticed was that his eyes were wild, and black as night...

"Bella?! Are you alright?!" Edward sat up next to me, pushing me off of him with gentle force. "Bella…listen to me…you've been screaming Jacob's name…"

My eyes opened wide and I was sure my face must have been stark white.

Suddenly I heard a loud howl of a wolf in the distance…

Jacob.

I could hear the pain in his howling, as it was a pain I knew all too well…

"I love you Jake…" I whispered, desperately praying he would somehow hear, and return to me…
