Hey, guys. I just want to remind you to always review, even if its short, even if you hate it! No ghost readers!
Edward left shortly after my speech. I rolled over and started crying. I was happy with my choice, I really was. I just had to cry all my love for Edward out so I could fully let Jacob in.
Then, after about a half hour of sobbing, I couldn't take it anymore.
I reached for my cell phone and dialed the number I knew better than my own.
On the other line, he groaned, and muttered gravely, "Hello?"
"J-J-Ja-Jacob?"
"Bells?" he asked, "What's wrong?"
"I-I-I-... E-Edward was here, and I-I... I told him-"
"Don't worry, hun. I'll be right over."
"E-Even though it's," I looked at my clock, "3:43 in the morning?"
"Yeah. I'll be there in a few."
Suddenly, a dark shape was looming over me.
I gasped into the phone.
"Bella?" Jake said, "What's going on?"
But he had already taken the phone out of my hand and threw in on the floor, probably breaking it.
"That mutt is not coming near you." Edward growled.
"Edward?" I said, shocked, "What... What are you doing here? I thought you left... I thought-"
"Well, I did some thinking, and I've realized," Even in the dark I could tell his eyes were jet black. "If I can't have you, no one can. Especially not that mongrel."
"What? What are you talking about?"
He roughly grabbed my wrists and yanked me towards him. Hard. "I mean I will not allow you to see that dog! Once I turn you, you'll be mine. Forever." He took in my shaken appearance. "Isn't that what you've always wanted, Isabella?" he all but hissed.
"Edward... Stop. Your-You're hurting me..."
He laughed, it sounded mad, like a schizophrenic serial killer who had just found out his victim had a fear of water. Well. Obviously, that said serial killer was going to drown the poor victim.
Edward yanked me out of bed, still clutching my wrists, and flung me forward, into the dresser. "Edward!" I yelled, "What's come over you? Why are you doing this?"
"I want to make sure you never see that dog again!"
Just then, a piercing howl raked my ear drums.
"Ahhh," Edward mused, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."
Edward grabbed me by the tops of my arms, painfully tight. He drug me over to the window, and held me out of it, my legs dangling 20 feet in the air, solid concrete below me.
"Come and get her, mutt!" Edward screamed, "You have 12 seconds to show yourself, or Bells here is taking a death plunge!" He waited a few seconds. Then started counting. "12... 11... 10... 9... 8...7...6...5...4...3...2..." he began to loosen his hold on my arms, and I began to slip. I screamed. Just as Edward was about to say, "One," Jacob-in wolf form- sprinted out from the trees, a few patches of hair missing. He'd obviously struggled. My guess was Sam knew this would be a trap, and tried to stop Jake from saving me.
"Well," said Edward, "A bit timsey, are we? Well, heads up!" Then he dropped me.
Jacob had angled himself so I landed on his back, air escaping my lungs with a whoosh!
Edward was in front of us in 2 seconds flat.
"Edward!" I yelled, "Stop! What's wrong with you? Why are you doing this?"
"Because! You said you loved me! You said you wanted me and wanted to live forever with me. And I will not lose you to a filthy, over-grown, puppy."
Jacob bucked me off and into the grass, where I landed on my bum. Jacob's lips curled over his teeth, revealing dagger-sharp teeth. Edward formed his hands into claws. They circled each other, growling and hissing.
Then, eight more giant wolves came out of the woods, and took Jacob's flank. Edward's eyes darted from each of the wolves, seeing he was clearly out numbered. He stopped circling them, hesitated for a fraction of a second, then took off into the woods, retreating.
All the wolves took after him, except for Jacob, who went back to where he ha came, then a few minutes later, walked back to my shaking self in his human form.
"Bella!" he said, "Are you okay?"
I nodded, not able to find my voice.
"So... Was what he said true? I mean," he gave me the best puppy dog eyes I'd ever seen, "Is he really losing you to an over grown puppy?"
I half smiled. I felt me skin flush beet red, and i bit my lip. "He just might."
Jacob leaned in to kiss me. Just as his lips began to touch mine, the door burst open, causing us both to jump.
Charlie stood in the doorway, looking disgruntled in his bath robe. "What in God's name is going on out here?"
Jacob stood up and took a few steps away from me. "I-I-" he started.
"I guess I was sleep walking again," I said, not sure what else to say.
"Then why the hell is Jacob here?"
"Um... because... because..."
"I was going to give her a ride to school." said Jacob.
"It's five in the morning."
"I guess I arrived a little early. I'll give you a few hours to get ready, Bella. Chief." he nodded to my father.
Jacob sauntered over to the road, got into the Rabbit which I had not noticed was there, and drove off.
Remember to comment! Sorry to Team Edwarders, but there will be some Edward bashing in this story!
