Loved ones were afraid

Bella's POV

"After you're changed there is one thing you'll want more", Rosalie explained, but I knew where she was going with this, "One thing you'll kill for… Blood".

It was a difficult thing to acknowledge, that there would ever be a time when Edward was not my everything. The idea that I would ever want anything more than Edward just seemed painful, and that stupid little voice in my head was nagging me.

Everything? Edward doesn't see it that way, neither does Jake, neither do you. God I hated that voice.

I was going to respond but even with my human ears I heard it. Jake. Have you ever had the experience, where you knew that this moment was one that would haunt you until the day you met your grave, and in my case long after it. The moment I heard Jacob's howl turned human scream, I knew this was such an occasion.

"Bella!" Edward was behind me in a second, so fast I could barely see him until his arms were around me.

"That's Jacob! It's Jacob!" I was hysterical, and I don't know why, it wasn't going to help. I don't even know how I knew it was Jacob, it could have been any one of the pack, but I just knew, because I felt the fear grip my heart when I heard it.

"Bella, it's okay, Emmett and Jasper are going now they'll-"

"No! I have to go!" Edward began to disagree with me, talking about the dangers and I knew it was practically suicide if whatever it was beat Jacob but I couldn't let him die, not when the last thing I ever did was punch him. "Edward please", I was crying now, "He can't die".

"Alright", I stared into his eyes, his face looking as fraught as I know I looked. I didn't have time to ponder this because in an instant he had swung me onto his back and leapt over the balcony. He landed with a run, the faster he had ever gone with me. But my mind was elsewhere.

Jake.

Jasper's POV

"Run faster Emmett!" I all but snarled.

I couldn't handle the despair and fear that flooded from the house when we heard that howl. I knew it wasn't going to be long before Edward and Bella followed us. I knew when I felt the intense regret and love from Bella that they would follow. More surprisingly was the feelings of fear and caring that were coming from Edward, and I don't think they were directed at Bella.

We ran the smell getting stronger. The smell of vampires, and a lot of blood. The newborns had gotten through our territory and we hadn't noticed, we had been so busy watching Bella's house we never thought. We kept running until we hit the treaty line where we stopped.

We stood listening, our senses sharp, trying to pick up anything. Newborns were careless they would rustle a tree or step on a twig. We listened until we heard and scream, this one weaker and muffled, but our hearing picked it up.

We ran towards it but were once again met by the treaty line. They were heading north over the Makah reservation. This was not some newborns hunting randomly, this was planned, they knew where they were going. And they had someone hostage, whoever it was it seemed with all the blood in the air that they had killed Jacob to get him.

"Where are the wolves?"

I heard the footsteps behind me. Edward arrived and the chokingly strong emotions were once again smothering me, I sent out waves of calm, but they only seemed to ease Bella.

"What's happening? Why have we stopped?" Bella asked her voice at a higher pitch and clouded by tears.

"This is the treaty line", I said not expecting the reaction I got.

"So? Jacob needs us!" She said pounding her tiny fists against Edward's shoulder. Edward winced as though in pain, but I knew it wasn't because of Bella. Edward turned his head to look at Bella, and nodded.

Before I could stop him he launched himself across the river, violating the treaty, and into Quileute land.

"What do we do?" Emmett asked taking a half step towards the river then back. I knew Emmett held no extraordinary fondness for the wolves, but he cared about Bella and these newborns were trying to get to her.

"We will help our brothers", I turned to see Carlisle who had just arrived. He wasn't just referring to Edward but to the entire pack. He viewed them as brothers and they hardly even regarded him as human. I could never understand how Carlisle could be so forgiving and tolerant. It both amazed and scared me. "Esme and Alice have gone to protect Charlie, just in case they try and follow Bella's scent. Come".

Without a second thought I launched myself across the river and had taken off. Carlisle ran a different direction from us, probably to where Jacob Black had been, Emmett and I followed the vampire's scent all the way to the border of the Makah reservation, there was no chance they would let us anywhere near their land, and judging by the amount of blood I smelt, the person must be dead.

Suddenly I got confused, this smell didn't make me react like blood usually does, and it was different. I got closer to a drop of blood along the trail and smelt it.

Oh no.

Carlisle's POV

Esme and I had just returned from hunting, I always did love hunting with her, she just made even the blandest elk taste better.

"Carlisle! There's a problem", Alice had raced out. She explained things to me quickly, and explained how Edward's future had gone blank and Jasper and Emmett were at the treaty line.

"Go keep an eye on Charlie, newborns are unpredictable", I yelled running towards my sons.

I found them quickly they were near a strong scent of blood, though it was different. We got across the river and ran. Jasper and Emmett followed the newborn's scents, I followed Edward's, if anyone was going to need my medical skills right now it was Jacob, at least I hoped he would need my medical skills.

I got to the clearing not a few seconds behind Edward who was nearly frantic, with Bella hysterical as well. There was a small fire with about two vampire's burning.

"Bella", I said in a slightly raised voice, gripping her arms so she would look me in the eye, "This will not help, calm down. We need you to be strong".

She nodded, choking back a sob, when the sound of very heavy paws were approaching. I stilled myself, this was not going to be pleasant. Edward, I know you're worried but please keep Bella calm, if she panics the wolves will become anxious, and more dangerous.

He nodded and I knew if he had tears he would be crying them now. I didn't understand my son's relationship with Jacob, I had thought them as enemies. However the reaction he was having now would suggest close friends or brothers.

I turned towards the edge of the clearing, the wolves had arrived. They looked around and blanched at the smell, whether because of the vampires or the blood. The one, Paul I think his name is, bared his teeth at me and prepared to launch.

"Where's Jake?" I was not the only one surprised that the young one, Seth, had transformed back into his human form. The others stared at him like he had just volunteered to be a blood donor. Sam growled at Seth as he quickly threw on some shorts.

"I don't know", I said as some of the others transformed, Paul looking disgusted and his eyes held a fury I had never seen. I saw Edward flinch, he was seeing what happened in the pack's mind.

"You're violating the treaty! You violated it now you attacked our-", He shouted.

"No, we only just arrived. We heard the fight and came, I don't care about the treaty right now and we didn't hurt Jake", I stared at Edward surprised. I knew he was upset, but referring to the beta of the wolf pack as Jake, seemed very unorthodox. I reasoned with myself that it was probably due to the pack plural.

"Carlisle!", Jasper and Emmett had arrived, the trail obviously leading them to a dead end but something was off. The wolves snarled at my sons, still unsure about who was involved in this. "The newborns, they have someone with them, they're bleeding good. Carlisle it was a wolf".

There were howls of despair and Sam changed in front of us, eyes ablaze with anger and fear. He approached us many of the wolves following.

"What is going on? What are newborns and why did they take Jacob?" He growled. I sighed this was going to be a difficult explanation. I told them of the newborns, what they were, how they were different, and how they had been terrorising Seattle.

"But why Jake?" Seth asked almost in tears, I felt Jasper sending waves of calm. I knew the situation was chaotic and all the different, intense emotions would be hard for him to bear.

"It's me", I was startled as Bella who had long since given up standing, and was crouched on the ground, "This is all my fault, the intruder in my room, and Victoria. It's my fault", she said breaking down.

"You said Seattle", Sam said. I looked over and nodded, Edward beside me got a serious look on his face and nodded as well but I don't think he was nodding at the question.

"Okay. We're going to Seattle", Sam said addressing the pack.

"We're coming too".

"Edward-" I started, but he just looked at me and I knew what was going on. He needed Jacob just as much as Bella did.

I nodded, "We're going to Seattle".
