Chapter 4

Edwards POV

"Do you always leave your window open?" I was curious as why she would do this.

"Yes." she said in a sleepy tone.

"Why?"

"For you." it was barely a whisper but I heard it. I knew that was all I would get from her tonight. So I started humming her lullaby and soon I felt her body relax and her breathing was slow and steady.

I had to remember to let Carlisle know about this. He would defiantly be interested in what it was that allowed her to sleep, eat human food and have no interest in human blood when there was no other vampire that we knew of that was like her.

As I lay in her bed my arms wrapped around her, I found that the only strange thing about it was that I couldn't hear her heart beating. It would take some time to get use to that. I had spent the last year listening for the familiar sound just in case I was ever to run into her.

I looked around her room and found that there was nothing of her old life here. No pictures of her mom or dad, none of her old friends and I realized that she had never had the chance to find the stuff that would remind her of me and my family which I had hidden under a loose floor board in her bedroom.

There weren't even pictures of her new life. If a stranger walked into this room they would have no ideal whose room it belonged to.

As I looked around my eyes fell upon the clock on the bed side table. It was around three in the morning and I knew I would be needed back at the house. No sooner had the thought crossed my mind my phone began vibrating, I pulled it from my pocket and opened it, not wanting to chance waking Bella I pulled away from her and moved into the hallway.

"Hello Alice." I said in a whisper knowing she would hear me.

"Sorry to bother you...but are you coming home any time soon?"

"You haven't seen it?"

"Not funny Edward. This is hardly a time for joking." just then I heard screaming in the back ground followed by what could have only been one of Esme's vases hitting the floor.

"Alice what is going on? Was that a vase hitting the floor?"

"No, it was a vase hitting the wall, because instead of catching it Emmett dodges it."

"Was it meant to hit him?" I asked a little afraid of what could have caused this.

"YES! YOU NEED TO GET HERE AND HANDLE THIS!" she yelled. Things were worse than I had imagined.

"Alice stop yelling at me. I'll be home in a few minutes." and with that I hung up the phone and returned to the bedroom. I found a piece of paper and a pen on the desk and wrote Bella a letter. I left it in my spot and left through her open window. I knew that I could make better time if I ran than taking my car.

Bella's POV

I rolled over to find that no one lay behind me. At first I thought I had dreamed the whole thing, than I heard the crumpling sound of paper under me. I sat up and found a piece of paper with my name on it, I picked it up to see that it was a letter.

Dearest Bella

I hope that I will have returned before you wake and find me gone, but in case I am not I just wanted to let you know that Alice called, there is a situation at the house and I am needed to handle it. As soon as everything is under control I will return.

Love Always and Forever

Edward

I knew that whatever was going on had to be bad if Alice would call and have him leave me. I through the letter back on the bed and looked at the clock to see it was only five in the morning. Not filling sleepy I decided to go for a run to clear my head, I was still in shock with the fact that they were all back and he still wanted me. I quickly wrote out a letter to Edward telling him to stay put if I wasn't there when he returned. I figured that I could run the first six blocks and be back by six.

I was just about to take off when I noticed that Edwards car was still parked outside my building, I walked over to it and put my hand on the hood, and found it still cold. He must have run to his house, but why would he…

A sudden gust of wind brought his sent to me and I froze. I could definitely smell Edward but there was another smell along with it, something like…wet dog. At first I couldn't figure out why the smell bothered me so than it hit me, what Edward had told me about Jacob and his people. The smell had to be a werewolf. Afraid for Edward and the others I took off after him, as fast as I could.

It didn't take me long to get to the house, but just before I could get close enough for them to realize I was there a large shape appeared in front of me and was coming closer a small growl coming from it.

"That's enough Seth!" came a commanding yet familiar voice from behind the animal.

"Jacob?" I said slowly backing away.

"Go home Seth, Bella and I have to talk, and not a word about her to Sam, go it?"

With a snort the animal that I now realized was a werewolf turned and ran into the forest. All I could do was watch in amazement as my feet had suddenly frozen to the ground. Finally after what seemed like a life time Jake spoke.

"I should have known that you would show up here sooner or later." He said with a sigh and a shake of his head.

With that I unfroze, he still looked like the same old Jake but his sell was defiantly not human and he seemed to be shaking all over. I started to take a step toward him than stopped, I could fill the air around us changing I knew it was him trying to stop from becoming the wolf. So instead of showing concern I went in the other direction.

"Yeah well, you of all people should know I don't like being told what to do. So I gather that you're a werewolf, is that new or that why you told me to get lost a while ago."

"If you would have just…." He started than sighed heavy "Never mind, just know we're watching if they…or you do anything we'll stop you." He started to leave than stopped.

"Be careful Bella, if what I think is going on in there than your about to get heart even more than before."

"What do you mean? What's going on?" he turned to look at the house and then back at me. "Jake…please."

"Hummm…all I know is someone in there was tearing the place up until HE showed up. Then it became quite, I thought it was over until I heard a shrike, I thought maybe there was a human in there and in trouble and was about to step in when I heard HIM say 'I Love You, and I will NEVER leave you.' Then someone started crying and someone else started humming. That's when Seth smelt you and well you know." I could see he was confused, about me or what had happened in there I wasn't sure.

"OH. Well I guess there's really only one way for me to know for sure what's going on and that's to go find out for myself. Thanks for telling me." I started to make a move for the house and he nearly jumped in a nearby tree.

"Give me a break Jake, I would never hurt you, for one thing I never forgot that I'm your friend and second you stink, I could never go for a smell like you."

I couldn't believe it he actually smiled and I returned it. For a few seconds it seemed like old times and then just as sudden the smile was gone and the old sour look was back.

"I have to go, Seth will be worried and Sam will be pissed." I had no idea who he was talking about. So I just nodded and with that he was gone.

Slowly I turned back toward the house and started walking all the way wondering what I was about to find.

Jacob's POV

As I walked away from Bella, I was surprised to see that she was still her. I mean yeah I could tell she was a vampire but she was still the same old Bella where it mattered in her heart even if it wasn't beating.

But what surprised me the most was that I felt sorry for her. She was walking into that house just to have her heart broken by HIM again. I wasn't sure of what was really going on in there but whatever it was, it sounded very weird. I mean I knew by the smells that a human was inside but the heart beat was too fast and then there was someone tearing the place apart. I never seen anyone different come or go until Bella showed up to knight. Whoever the new ones were they were keeping them hidden.

And Sam was being a terror again. At first he was beyond mad with me for busting in and threatening them when they first returned. And then he heard that they were secretly keeping what we assumed was a human inside. We could not ask what was going on nor could we just rush in to see. But if we found that a human was in there and in danger the treaty would be no more and I would make sure I was the first through the door and head right for HIS neck.

I must not have been moving fast enough, I soon felt the Alpha pull and I shifted at once. As I headed toward home Sam's voice filled my mind. Apparently Seth had gone home and was refusing to come out of his room until I returned.

I picked up my pace and made it to Seth's in no time. Just as I rounded the corner I was suddenly hit in the side and went rolling away from the house.

"Enough Leah." Sam's Alpha wolf's voice filed my mind.

"He is not going anywhere near my brother until he tells us what he did to him." Leah replied.

"What…what are you talking about? I did nothing to Seth. Is he hurt or something?" I was so confused that I forgot to be mad at Leah for hitting me.

"No he's fine…physically anyway."Sam started. "But he is acting strange; he refuses to talk to anyone including me. And no one has ever been able to disobey there Alpha"

"I told you it was a bad idea to let anyone be around him for too long." Leah said.

"What are you talking about Le…?" The sound of the front door slamming shut stopped my question. We all turned to see Seth standing on the porch, his arms was crossed and he was mad, madder than I had ever seen him before.

"I do not care what you're talking about, but hear this I will only speak to Jacob in human form and if you are all gone so that we cannot be over heard.

With a huff Sam said "Fine Seth if that is the way you want it, Leah lets patrol you take the east and north sides I'll take the west and south we'll meet in the middle."

"Whatever" she said, anger filled her thoughts and tone, with a snort she took off. Sam shook his head once and then he too was gone.

I waited till I knew no one was in hear distance and shifted back to human pulling fee the cut off's I wore tied to my lower leg.

"Inside, mom made some sandwiches before she left." Seth said as he headed toward the door.

"What is all of this about Seth?" I asked confused.

"Inside, it will be safer." And with that he walked into the house leaving the door open behind him.

I followed, only to find him standing in the living room, the TV remote was in his hand. As soon as I shut the door, he clicked the remote turning the set on, the volume had been preset to the loudest volume it would take to block any ears that tried to hear what he had to say, a trick he picked up from me.

"OK I said over the noise, let's talk." He moved to the kitchen pulled out a chair and sat down, with his foot he kicked the chair closest to him offering it to me. I took the seat and looked at the food on the table, he was right his mom had made some good looking sandwiches.

Looking away from the food I said "Ok kid, spill."

"Humm…what was that back there…with Bella. Jake she's one of them and you know it. Why were you so harsh to me?"

With a deep sigh I said "Seth I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings, but I wanted to talk to her alone. And I didn't want Sam to see what was going on. And by the way, how did you manage not to obey his command?"

He turned to look out the kitchen window with a concerned look on his face. "I really don't know. All I do know is that I had no interest in talking to anyone but you. Like…"

"Like what Seth?"

"Well it's like…Sam isn't my Alpha anymore. You are."

Let me know what you think?
