POV'S: Bella, Paul, Jacob
Bella's POV
Me and Jacob walked in silence. I stopped myself from my urge to scream at him for not telling me.
"Where are we going?" I blurted out finally, after a while.
"First Beach." He said simply, not even looking my way. I stayed quiet and kept on walking; the only sound was the clicking of my heels. When we got to the edge of the beach I took off my heels and held them in my hand. Jacob noticed this and cracked a smile.
"What?" I asked happy to get something out of him. I would of told him to take his shoes off, but he didn't have any on, wearing only cut offs like the rest of the guys had.
"You're all girly now. I like it I guess." He said smiling at me and stopping near the edge of the water. I smiled and blushed, sitting down on the sand. He joined me and breathed out heavily.
"What?" I asked. I was saying that a lot today. I mentally laughed at myself.
"I'm sorry for not telling you. It's a wolf thing Bells. We can't let anyone know about us. Not even family can know at first." He started. "If I had a choice, I wouldn't be what I am now. But your precious Cullen's triggered It." he growled at the end. I stared at him, shocked. I took a deep breath. Of course he knew. He killed them for Christ sake!
"Jake..." I stammered, lost for words. Feeling embarrassed that he knew now. Knowing that someone else knew I dated a vampire made me feel weird all of a sudden, like I shouldn't have never even gone with him.
"Fuck them." I finally said. He turned towards me with wide eyes, and then smiled widely, laughing. I laughed with him. When the laughter died down, it was silent for a second. Before I could speak again, he turned around and stared into my eyes. I looked back confused. He stared, as if searching for something. Then he dropped his gaze and shook his head.
"Can't blame me for trying to imprint…" he muttered to himself.
"For trying to what?" I asked confused. He didn't answer; instead he stood up and reached a hand down for me. I took it and he pulled me up.
"We should head back." He noted as he started walking back towards Emily's. I followed, sliding my heels on when we got to the edge. The way back was silent for a while. When we made it to the house, Jacob started on inside. Me, not paying attention, tripped on something and yelp as I waited for the impact. It never came as I looked up to see Jared with his arm around my waist and a concerned look on his face.
"Jesus, Bella." he hissed. "Are you okay?"
I blushed deep red as I noticed how close we were. He smirked. Since we were so close, I realized how cute Jared was, making me blush even deeper.
"You're…cute." He said shrugging, as if reading my mind. I smiled. Before I could move away he was leaning closer, if that was even possible. I froze, not knowing what to do. Normally I would have hungrily awaited the kiss, and then furiously kissed back. But now, it felt wrong for some reason. Before I could do or say anything, we were interrupted.
"What the fuck?" the voice yelled angrily. I turned to see Paul standing there with the rest of the pack. Oh great. I blushed deeper as me and Jared separated ourselves.
"What are you two doing?" Jacob asked angrily. Paul and Jacob seemed to be both equally angry. But When Jacob said this; Paul looked at him and seemed to get even madder.
"Calm down, I was in the woods phasing back and she tripped and I caught her." Jared replied, doing his signature shrug again.
"It looks like you were about to do more than that." Paul snared. He was shaking now, dangerously. My eyes widened.
"Whoa." I breathed low, taking a step back. I doubt anyone heard me, but Paul looked at me with wide eyes and his shaking stopped.
"Why do you care all of a sudden, Paul?" Jacob asked turning towards Paul. Paul seemed lost for words as he turned towards Jacob.
"Why do YOU care? Where were you when she could have fallen? Too upset about not imprinting on her, forgot all about her." he snarled getting in his face. There was that word again; 'Imprinting'. I had no idea what it meant. But it made Jacob's face fall instantly and his shaking increased.
"Mind your fucking business Paul. That doesn't concern you." He growled. Nobody seemed to be doing anything. Not even Sam, as he watched with a confused, hard look on his face. They were in each other's face now, both shaking angrily. I moved towards them and got in between them.
"Stop!" I repeated three times. Paul's shaking stopped, but Jacobs continued.
"Jacob get AWAY from her. It's not safe, you're gonna hurt her." Paul demanded grabbing my arm and pulling me behind him. I ignored the shock I felt when he touched me and tried to get away. Jacob was my best friend, and he was upset. I wanted to help him. Paul kept his hold on me, but I finally broke through and moved from behind him. Jacob was growling and shaking dangerously, glaring at Paul.
"JACOB, ENOUGH, go calm down!" Sam snapped with a hard edge to his voice.
"It's too late Sam!" Paul growled.
"Jesus Jacob!" Quil hissed.
"Sam...!" Emily cried in a scared voice.
"Bella get away from him!"
"Bella MOVE!" I registered a hand coming towards me and a loud scream. I didn't realize the screaming was me until I felt my head hit the ground and everything went black.
Paul's POV
"Bella MOVE!" I shouted, reaching to grab her. It was too late. She screamed loudly and hit the ground. I dropped to my knees and picked her up. Her face wasn't hurt, but her back seemed to be as I noted the blood stained shirt. I turned towards the ass of a wolf, Jacob.
"How could you? Are you crazy?" I growled. I was seeing red now. Emily rushed over and took Bella from me. I turned quickly and growled at her. Shock spread across her face for a moment then was quickly gone. She started back in the house. I was growling and shaking as I took a step to follow her. Mine. Bella was mine. Why was she taking her away from me! Before I could follow more, Sam put a hand on my shoulder.
"Let her help." He said in a hard tone. I stared at him and nodded. 'Safe with Emily' my wolf noted 'Kill the kid!'
I turned and phased instantly. Jacob had a look of sadness and looked like he was about to break down. I growled and leaped at him, pushing him into the trees. He yelped and fought back. I was out for blood. There was no way anyone would stop me. I bite into his arm as we rolled down the hill. When we reached the ground, I got up quick and jumped on top of him biting him again in his arm.
'I don't want to fight you!' he demanded. 'Fall back.' Yeah right. Like that was happening. I continued snapping and biting at him. He kicked me off him with his hind legs and we stood face to face.
'Paul. Back down.' Sam demanded with that alpha tone in his voice, as he came running down the hill. Of course, Caption Save a Wolf was here to protect dear old Jakey. He had shorts in his mouth. He flicked them at Jacob. 'Phase back, and go home. Bella wants you.' I growled at this as I watched Jacob, now with his shorts on, eye me then run back towards the house. Sam stepped towards me.
'Did you imprint on Bella, Paul?' Sam asked softly. I growled.
'No, no way. Why would you even think that?' I snapped. He didn't say anything, just eyed me closely.
'Paul. You cannot deny the imprint. You'll only end up hurting yourself and her.' he replied calmly. I whimpered at this and let out a low, long howl.
'Don't fight it Paul.' He said. I looked down, deep in thought. Could I give into the imprint, and be happy with Bella? Yes, maybe I could. But this wasn't just Bella; it was the leech-lover, the enemy. Sam turned around to leave.
'No.' I said shaking my head. He froze and turned towards me, with wide eyes. 'No, I can fight it, and I will. Bella wasn't meant for me. She was meant for the leeches.' I snarled. As much as it pained me to say it, it was true. She was meant for them, not me. This was a mistake. The more I fight it, then the more it will just go away.
'No Paul. The more you fight it, will only make it worse. It will not go away. You're only hurting Bella more! She has been through enough Paul; you were made just for her. If I could, I would, but I can't make you do anything, because Imprint takes over an Alpha's order.' He said in a strong, but sad voice.
'Then don't.' I growled. I turned and ran past him, and into the woods. I howled a long low howl. I was going to fight the Imprint. No one was going to stop me.
Bella's POV
I opened my eyes, blinking rapidly. Where was I? I looked around, to see a cozy looking house. I was on a sofa, lying on my stomach. I moved to sit up, only to be stopped by a huge pain ripping through my body. I hissed in pain as tears came to my eyes.
"Bella, you're awake. Don't sit up honey." Emily came rushing over to me and laying me back down. I frowned and whimpered.
"What happened to me Emily?" I asked quietly. She looked at me sadly with a small smile. I noticed the rest of the Pack was in the room, all in different locations. Memories of what happened rushed back into my head. My eyes widened.
"I wanna see." I said sitting up, ignoring the pain. She came me a glass of water and some pills.
"I don't think that's a good idea. Here, take this for the pain." She said. I snatched the pills and swallowed them hard, ignoring the water in her hand. I stood up, with her help and moved towards the bathroom.
"I wanna see. I need to see." I said.
"Bella…" Sam warned, but Emily cut him off and shook her head, giving him a small smile. He nodded at her. I walked into the bathroom and fell to my knees in shock. I shook with each cry I yelled out.
I cried loudly as Emily held me. I looked behind me as she shut the door, to see the tear streaked face of the person who did this to me; Jacob.
Jacob's POV
I watched with tears as Bella looked at me before Emily shut the door. This was my entire fault. I had hurt her. She had three angry claw marks starting at her shoulder and going diagonally down her back. It would heal in time, but that didn't stop the pain I felt. I turned and sat on the couch next to Jared.
"It's my fault." He mumbled shaking his head. I looked towards him, shocked.
"It's nobody's fault but mine. You caught her before I did. It's all my fault. I hurt her." I said in a hard tone. It was my fault, yet Jared was blaming himself?
"I just don't understand why Paul's so mad, ya' know? He never cared before about her.," he said. My eyebrows furrowed. Was…Jared trying to talk to Bella? No way, he's not her type anyway. I pushed that to the back of my head. So, why was Paul so concerned was the only question I could think about. I pushed that to the back of my head. Maybe he's realizing Bella's part of the pack now, that Bella's my girl.
