Chapter 2:

Emmett, Rose, and I raced back to the house where I pushed open the front door and ran up stairs to my bedroom where I coud hear Mason and the others. I stopped in the

doorway to see Mason safe in Esme's arms and Edward leaning down over a frightened Paul. I ran over to Mason and scooped him out of Esme's arms and held him close while I

kissed him over and over thanking God that he was ok. "What was Jacob planning on doing with Mason and Bella?" Carlisle was questioning Paul. Edward had come to stand next to

me he was too angry to even be near Paul right now. "I-I-I don't know. All he said is that he wanted Bella and that I was too go with him to help. He is the true Alpha and I can't

just not do what he says." "We know and we thank you for surrendering to us so easily, Paul. You need to get back to Sam as soon as you can and warn him about Jacob."

Carlisle said. Everyone cleared out of our bedroom escorting Paul downstairs and out of the house. I sank onto the bed still holding Mason in my arms tightly. "Bella, Love,

are you ok?" "Yes I'm fine. I'm just glad you got to Mason in time he told me if I moved or made and noise that Paul would drop Mason. What kind of cruel person does that

to a baby? Mason has nothing to do with this." Edward wrapped his arms around my shoulders, "I know and Bella, I swear he will pay. I will hunt him down and make him pay

for everything that he has ever done to you." I let my mind reflect on the countless times that Jacob had hurt me in one way or another. He hurt me when he left me back when

Edward had left and I had no one else, he hurt me by making me choose between being friends with him and Edward, he rejected all phone calls and notes I sent after I had

agreed to marry Edward, he even blamed me for Charlies's death, and to top it off he was will to hurt my son, my baby. He had to be stopped one way or another I just wished

there was some other way. I did not want to be there when Edward found him and killed him there was no way I could live through seeing that hurt me or not he was a very

good friend to me and saved me from the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I could feel Edward's eyes boring into me as I stared out the window thinking and I knew

his constant curiosity was buring inside of him right about now. Even through all of the bad things that Jacob had ever done to me I couldn't help but be reminded of the times

when he was there for me when I needed him, he saved me from drowning, he did his very best to peice my shattered heart back together even though he and I both knew it

was impossible, he saved me from Paul and Laurent. "Love, what are you thinking about?" "Jacob. I don't want to be there when you kill him. No matter how much it may please

me right now I can't watch that. Through all of the bad things he has done he has also been one of my very best friends." "I know what you mean and I think you are right. That

would be a very hard thing for you to endure and the last thing I want is to cause you pain." "Thank you." I laughed a little with a shaky voice. "What's so funny?" "I was thinking

about earlier when Jaocb was dragging me out to the river I wasn't even thinking about what was going to happen to myself just about Mason and if he was ok." He smiled

"That's just your maternal side coming out in you, love." "I know. I don't know what would have happened to me if Emmett and Rose hadn't have been coming home. He was

just about to make me jump over the river when Emmett leapt on a tree and tried to land on him but Jacob was faster and pushed me in the way instead which reminds me

I owe Emmett a huge thanks and I am now kind of sore all over." We both started laughing but had to cut it off becuase Mason was still asleep in my arms and had begun to stir.

I got up and laid him in his crib so I couls go down stairs and talk to Emmett and thank him for saving my life and I knew he was probably going to make a joke out of it. Edward

and I walked into the livingroom where our family was seated talking about what had just occurred. Edward sat down on the couch beside Emmett and Rose and motioned for

me to sit in his lap. "Emmett, thank you so much for saving me back there even though I caught the blunt of your plan. All the same you got me away from him." "You're

welcome lil sis that's what big brothers are for." He said toulsling my hair causing it to fall down in my face. We spent the rest of the night talking about everything from sports to

what we wanted to do for a summer vacation since summer was coming up and we hadn't left Forks all that much in a while and we all agreed to go our seperate ways and

plan our own vacation. I had no idea where I wanted to go but I knew Edward probably had some secret place in mind and wherever we went I would love it. As we were sitting

we heard a knock at the door and we all quickly stood already knowing by the rapid beating heart beats outside that it had to be Sam and his pack. Carlisle opened the door and

we all filed out onto the porch and onto the front lawn where they all stood in a loose formation behind Sam. I could feel everyone glaring at them and I even found myself glaring

at Paul for endangering my baby earlier. Sam was the first to break the cold silence and tension that had been brewing between both sides, "We are not here to argue or start a fight we just want to

let Edward and Bella know how sorry we are for the actions taken by Paul and Jacob tonight. I can assure you that everything is being done to find Jacob and Paul already knows his

punishment." he said glaring at a paul who was just staring at the ground. Surprisingly Edward was the next to speak, "We accept your appology Sam but Jacob has gone too far this time and I am

affraid for the safety of my wife and son I must put an end to all of this. I just hope you can see my side and that will not try to stop me." Sam stood thinking for a moment before answering,

"I do and if that is what you want then so be it he is not part of our pack any more. As I said before I am deeply sorry for the trouble these two have caused you." The pack turned and dissappeared

through the woods.
