Previously….
"I figured with your size she would have had to know…not to mention she is your wife…I figured you had imprinted. Apparently not though, or you would have told her."
"no Bella, she wasn't the one I imprinted on…that was you"
For what seemed like the hundredth time today my jaw dropped at this new bit of news. Jacob had imprinted on ME? how? How had I never known. How had he been able to lie to me the whole time. How could those last few months after I became a vampire before I left, how could he have kept his thoughts so well hidden? This made no sense.
From behind Jake, Megan's was turning beat red, apparently she didn't know fully what imprinting meant, but from the conversation she had an idea…a deadly accurate idea. She walked around the couch from behind Jacob and stood right in front of my face. Her face was glowing with hate and confusement. Whatever fear she had previously had of me was suddenly blown out the window with this new revelation.
"I don't know who you are, what you are or what your purpose here is," her voice came out in a growl. It made me uneasy to have such a random human stand up to me like this with no fear. Things like this just didn't happen to people like me. vampire just naturally sent fear down humans spines.
I ignored the human and turned my gaze back to Jacob.
"how, how Jacob? How had I never known? I can read your mind for Christ sake!" this was way too much information for one day.
Jacob hung his head. I could tell it pained him to reveal this.
"im not dumb Bella. The second I realized it, I made Sam order me never to think about it ever then I ordered him to do the same. Since we were both on the same level we both had to obey. That was how Edward never knew. I knew he would be back, I knew he would read my mind, so I did what I had to so you would never get hurt by it."
"awww Jake." I was overcome by sadness, Jake had loved me so much, yet he had still been willing to give me up to Edward because he knew it was Edward that I loved more. Everything he had done had been out of consideration for me, and I had never known.
I jumped off the couch, threw the human woman off of me and leapt at Jake, wrapping my arms around him and squeezing as hard as I could until I heard him gasping for air.
"geez Bells, calm yourself. You're a lot stronger than you used to be." I tried to laugh but it was choked out by my tears. Jacob looked at me atoundedly. He didn't know I could cry. Though im sure it was a shock. I didn't cry tears. I cried blood.
Upon him seeing my bloodtears I became ashamed. I hid my face and wiped away the blood with my sleeve.
"well…never seen that one before."
Suddenly there was a shattering crack of glass hitting the floor. I spun around on the alert to see megan, her eyes bloodshot and a broken picture frame at her feet of herself, Jacob, and Bella. Megan glared at me one more time before scooping Bella off the floor and walking out the door. I turned to Jake.
"hang on," and I went to go get her.
I walked moderately fast outside so I wouldn't scare the child, grabbed Bella, set her on the ground, and yanked megan kicking and screaming back into the house, with little Bella tagging along behind curiously. Jake was waiting as soon as I stepped into the door. He was quiet, which kind of surprised me. I figured he would be yelling considering I had just manhandled his wife into their house and thrown her rather forcefully onto the couch. I then proceeded to jump right into her face and in the cruelest voice I could find spoke.
"I don't want to hurt you, but I will if I have to. now you are going to sit here and listen to what Jacob and I have to say with no interruptions. Have I made myself clear? You were right to fear me in the begging. I am about to change life as you know it. You know nothing of the world you live in. you have no idea what murder really is. And I suggest you do as I say, because as you have seen I can read your mind, therefore I know every move your going to make, I am also much stronger and faster than you. So you don't really want to try to run away." I bared my teeth at her. "now, am I clear?"
I had frightened her so much she couldn't speak. She tried desperately to look like what I said hadn't frightened the living shit out of her, but she could not succeed and she knew it. She gave up, put her head down and muttered in defeat.
"yes."
"thank you," I softened my look. "I am not here to ruin your life. I figured being married to Jacob it would have been ruined. Being married to a werewolf cant be easy. He probably sneaks off everyonce in a while…maybe when he's mad? Ah…I see he does. Have you ever wondered why he and his friends have been such good friends for so long. Like they're family. And what about emily's scars? Have you ever wondered where they really came from? Did you really believe bear attack?
Now megan I didn't come here to steal your husband, he knows that I love him yes, but I already have a soul mate. Even though I am his soul mate, he was still willing to give me up to the one I truly loved. He sacrificed his love for me so I could be with the one I loved without the complication of know how much it hurt him. You have an amazing man. Don't ever believe he doesn't love you. Because I know he does. Now Jacob im going to play with your lovely child, while you inform your wife of our world." I walked to Jake, wrapped my arms around him, pecked him on the cheek, and whispered in his ear "thank you, I love you"
Then I proceeded to glide to the other room and play with that beautiful child who had been named after me.
