I woke up in my bed. I turned over to see Jacob sat in my old rocking chair. He was looking out of the window and rocking slightly. I coughed and he looked up.
"Hello Jacob." He only nodded and looked back out of the window.
"What are you doing here?"
"Protecting you."
"From what?" Since Edward had gone, nobody had come after me or had a reason too. Well except from Victoria.
I walked over to him and sat on his lap. I started tracing designs on his shoulder waiting for him to answer.
"We caught the scent of vampire up near the river. Paul and Jared are out now tracking it's scent." I could hear the venom in his voice. I tensed and he stopped breathing.
"Bella, don't worry, we'll get it before it can get you. If that's what it is after. It will not touch even one strand of your hair." A growl built up form his chest as he started shaking. I climbed off of him in case he changed. This made him shake more. I stood behind him and wrapped one arm around his shoulder and one on his chest. He slowed down and completely stopped.
"Don't worry I will never hurt you." He stood up and gently kissed me.
"You don't know how long I have waited for you Isabella." It sent a shiver through my body when he said my full name and he felt it. He smiled my smile and took me into his arms. We stood there for a while before I pulled away.
I started to pull things from my wardrobe and walked to the bathroom. The hot shower soothed me as it splattered against my skin. What if it was Victoria? She didn't know that Edward had left me. For all she knew I was still happy with him. For the first time the hole didn't ache. I got changed and walked back to my room. I could still her Charlie snoring.
Jacob was laid across my bed playing with a bit of loose thread on my blanket. I looked at the clock and it read 4:15. Charlie would be up soon but I would be out by then.
"Jacob?" he lifted his head up and looked me with his big black eyes and a crooked smile.
"Can you take me to see Sam?"
"Sure why?"
"I want to speak to him about this threat." The smile disappeared from his face.
"Of course, but there is nothing to tell. You'll have to ride on my back if we don't want to wake your Dad." I nodded and headed for my door only to be stopped.
"What are you doing?"
"Going out of the house." This time I cocked my head to the side.
"If you want to sneak out you have to go through the window." He opened it up and disappeared outside it. I ran to the window.
"Jacob? Jake?" I hissed out of the window. I could hear his chuckle. I looked own and his arms were spread in a cradle position.
"No. No way am I jumping from all the way up here." He kept his hands there and nodded from me to them.
Fuck it. I'll jump. That was strange. I never usually cuss. Huh. Desperate times called for desperate words. I closed my eyes and jumped. I couldn't feel my landing. Surely I wasn't still dropping? I opened one eye just in time to see Jacob roll his eyes. He put me down and ran off to the woods.
He came back and this time he was a wolf. This wasn't the first time I had seen him but this time felt different. Like I was seeing a different person. He knelt on his two front paws. I climbed onto his back and took hold of two clumps of fur.
He barked and I took that as a lets go! The ride was rough but fun and I loved it. I laughed all of the way while Jacob howled and barked out a laugh himself.
We reached a small cottage, which I soon recognised as Emily's house. I spent a number of afternoons there waiting for Jake to come back form patrolling. I climbed off his back and watched as Sam, Quil and Embry stepped out with serious looks on their faces. Jacob turned to change back but turned back around and licked my cheek.
"EW Jacob that is gross!" I heard the laughter form all of the men and "finally he's got her" coming form Quil. I rolled my eyes and walked towards them. Before I even got there I could feel Jake's hand around mine.
"Right men lets get down to business." I stated and everyone strolled back inside the house.
