Edward POV
The pain in my leg stabbed me every step I took. I would have run faster, but my limp made me slow and prone to fall. Running has never been a battle for me, but I guess with a shattered leg it makes matters different. Jacob has been stalking me for the past ten minutes. Breathing was difficult when my chest was torn to shreds so I stopped all together... but it felt unbelievably unnatural.
My shoulder burned with such fire that I've never felt before, except for my 'rebirth.' I should have fought back, I thought miserably, I could have easily killed him. But that was it, if I'd killed him then and there I don't think Bella could have forgiven me. I was so desperately confused that I hadn't noticed Jacob coming closer, or maybe I was just lagging.
The sudden impact sent me rolling to the ground, gasping in pain as my leg slammed into the hard earth. He landed squarlely on my chest causing the little breath I had to whoosh out of my lungs in a sudden burst. I heard my ribs cracking as my body tried to maintain his weight. Strangely, I could not feel any pain, at least not yet, hmm... how nice.
The beast dove for my neck narrowly missing me by inches. I weakly tossed him from me no longer able to support his weight. He landed in a heap of fur and fury, clearly unharmed by my weak attempt. Spittle dripped from his open mouth his tongue hanging out the side looking at me with such rage that I thought no one could. He licked his lips and it reminded me of a gunman shining his pistols... a shiver ran through my body. We circled eachother cautiously, it brought back memories of Victoria that made me wince. Except this was one opponent I would not defeat- for Bella's sake. It was either run or be killed.
As we circled, I caught a bit of Jacob's thoughts, Kill him, it sounded like Jacob in some ways but it didn't have the same tone as Jacob's thoughts usually did; it didn't feel like him. I tried harder to find the real Jacob hiding inside this bloodthristy irrational one. Bella... A/N (Jacob's real thoughts are in BOLD) It was a ghost of a thought feeble compared to the overpowering wolfy one. I couldn't even hear the rest of the pack in his mind, so I doubted they could hear him. His mind was confusing. I'd never encountered two beings fighting for dominance in one body... It was obvious the dangerous side of Jacob was winning the battle.
I had to tell Carlisle... it was just so strange. I didn't know what was possessing Jacob, but I knew it would murder me and any one in its path at all costs. It didn't care about Bella, it didn't care about the pack, it didn't even care about the real Jacob. I can't say how I knew this it just seemed right though. This conclusion scared me. What will happen when the real Jacob Black disappears? All hell will break loose. I just hoped Jacob Black could hold on while this monster took him over.
The wolf coiled as if ready to spring, his thoughts were so primitive I had no doubt it was the monster acting on its own will, and lunged at me. I quickly stepped out of the way graceful as ever. I was gone in a flash running as fast as I possibly could, must faster than a werewolf. Despite my leg, which was surely broken by this point, I kept running. I don't think I've ever ran faster in my whole life. I could hear Jacob roar in fury over and over again. The pure unhumaness of his eyes startled me, appearing in my vision over and over.
I very nearly passed the little meadow in my rush, but I stopped suddenly almost colliding with a tree. I limped into the clearing to be greeted by more bloodshed. I'm delirious, I told myself this can't happening... not today not my wedding day.
I stood at the edge of the clearing watching people flee from two fearsome werewolves with bloody muzzles. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Bella turned, looking like and angel in her gown, and made eye contact with me I can't help but smile at her beauty. Then, the pain finally hit me; in my chest, with my broken ribs, and most painfully my leg. I swayed unsteadily never leaving my angel's brown eyes, she screamed. I wonder why she screams then I see. In the corner of my vision a huge beast lunges at me, still moving in slow motion. My leg gives out beneath me and I collapse to the forest floor, my face to the sky. I remember my last thought before I surrendered to darkness, I hope I will remember Bella in hell.
A/N: So how'd you like that one? I thought it was good... kinda scary huh? With the whole Jacob counter-part thing. Well I'm pretty proud of myself (besides ruining Bella's wedding) Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks so much again! I'll update soon if you drop a line!!
