The engine of my truck ground to a halt outside the blacks house. I jumped out to find him waiting for me. Jacob. The one person who really understood me. A sun in the darkest of lives.

'Hey' he said in his deep, husky voice. He grabbed me in one of his vice tight hugs, knocking the wind out of me.

When he'd finally put me down I smiled back at him. Then I saw the expression on his face and immediately I felt anxious. He looked upset, and angry.

'Jake. What is it? What's wrong?' I demanded. He looked past me and sighed heavily. 'It's getting worse. We found three more bodies in the forest today. We were too late. Again. We're always too late' he moved past me and kicked something angrily, but I was too caught up in my own thoughts to notice.

'Victoria' I whispered. Jacob didn't need to reply. I knew instantly what he was talking about. She'd killed again. Because of me. She wanted to get me, to kill me and nothing would stop her. I felt sick. Of course I knew she was coming, every night I lay awake, just waiting for her to find me. But this just made it even more real.

'Bella' Jacob said his voice softer. He cupped my face in his huge hands and looked into my eyes. 'I promise you that nothing will hurt you. She won't get you. I won't let her.'

I broke away from him and turned away. I was angry now. 'Don't you get it Jake? She's never gonna stop. Nothing anyone does can change that. And in the meantime more and more people are dying. Because of me!'

'Bella!' he grabbed my arm and pulled me into a softer hug. 'It's gonna be okay.'

Funny that. Things hadn't been okay for a long time. And things weren't about to either. I knew it was only going to get worse.

I started writing this story last night and I was very tired so if it isn't very good, I'm sorry. I originally had the idea for the story ages ago, but only what happens near he end, so I had to write a beginning to it. I promise it'll get better soon. Please R&R. Your comments mean alot to me. thanks!
