Summary: Jacob's blood was so sweet, so good on his tongue, it was the best thing that he had ever drink. He could feel the heat in his throat, he could feel the life in his vein. What Jacob had said must be true... he was a monster.


It was a bad dream, it had to be. It was a bad dream and he was going to wake up soon. Jacob closed his eyes, praying to whatever and whoever could hear him, asking for the monster in front of him to disappear. A few moments passed and he couldn't hear anything but his own breathing, that meant little though. Opening his eyes slowly, he had to accept the vampire was still there and he had to face his destiny, because obviously there wasn't any possible escape from it.

"What- what are you doing here leech?" were the words that escaped Jacob's mouth. Edward stood in front of him, looking him straight in the eyes, like he could read him, as if he could see right through him.

Could Edward see that the only thing that he wanted to do was to run?

Could Edward feel how much he was afraid?

Not looking away from Jacob's eyes, the vampire took one of his bloody hands, and raised it to his mouth. A cool breath caressed the flesh, a cold tongue licked the red liquid, soft lips brushed the skin; that was all it took to make Jacob shiver.

"You were bleeding," said the vampire in a quiet voice, not letting go of the hand but raising his head to look at the boy.

"Wh… what?"

A smile slowly appeared on Edward's face, and he stepped closer to Jacob, only to have the shape-shifter instinctively take a step away. Moving forward once again, the vampire received the same reaction from the werewolf. This little game repeated itself again, and again, and again, only stopping when Jacob found that he couldn't move back, he was pinned against a tree, with Edward's hands at his sides to restrain him.

"Are you afraid of me?" whispered Edward, leaning closer to Jacob, licking one of his earlobes, lightly pressing his fangs into it.

"N- no" replied Jacob, hating himself when he heard the strange, small voice that escaped his throat.

"Really?" Edward pressed. Jacob was sure that Edward was grinning; he could feel it since the vampire's mouth was now on his neck, lips brushing the bite mark.

Jacob wanted to push the vampire, he wanted to run away from him, he just wanted to wake up and stop that nightmare.

But the nightmare didn't stop, Edward's lips were still running along his neck. Kissing, licking, nibbling.

"Why are you doing this to me?"

"Because I need you, because you have to be mine," said Edward locking his emerald green eyes with Jacob's brown ones.

And it was only at this moment that Jacob saw how pale the vampire was. It wasn't the usual pallor, the vampire was almost translucent. For a moment he seemed weak, vulnerable. But Jacob also recognized Edward's look, his eyes were those of a predator, of a fiend who had finally found his prey, and he knew exactly who this prey was ... it was him.

"Jacob, I want you to know that I'm sorry."

Jacob was going to ask why the vampire had felt the sudden need to apologize to him, but when he felt fangs entering his neck, he knew exactly what the vampire was sorry for.

Jacob's knees became weak almost instantaneously but Edward's iron grip around his waist prevented him from falling.

The vampire was hungry, he hadn't fed for so many days, he needed the sweet blood on his tongue. A small moan escaped from Edward's lips. How could he live without it now that he had tasted the most appealing elixir in the world, nothing could match up with Jacob's blood ... nothing.

How long he drank from the boy was a question that neither of them could really have answered. An eternity for Jacob, and only seconds for Edward who wanted it to last so much longer. But it seemed that Jacob's earlier prayer to whatever or whoever could hear him was going to be granted.

"Jake, Jake!" shouted the young boy while yanking his shorts on. "Jake what are you doing here?"

Jacob wanted to respond, he really did, but it was like he couldn't find his voice anymore.

"Hello Seth," Edward finally answered moving away from Jacob, putting some space between them before Seth could realize what had happen between the two. "What are you doing here?" Jacob was sure that Seth hadn't noticed the cold tone of Edward's voice, but the anger flowing from Edward was impossible for Jacob to miss and he couldn't help but shake even more. The vampire was no longer translucent; it was like he was possessed with a new energy, with a new force.

"Hey Edward! I saw Jacob running through the woods but I had to finish my patrol before I came to see him. So … what are you guys doing?" asked Seth in a cheerful voice, happily oblivious to what was going on.

"We were just having a discussion," stated Edward absently licking his lips, "a private discussion."

Seth's smile faded slightly. "Ohhh, so … do you want me to leave?"

"NO!" shouted Jacob, who had finally found his voice "You- you can stay Seth. You have to stay, please." Jacob knew that he sounded pathetic, but by this time he didn't care, he needed to escape from Edward.

Edward turned to look Jacob in the eyes. Looking at the boy, he could see the fear, he could see the silent plea, "Seth can stay, but only if I get to see you tonight Jacob."

"O- okay" replied Jacob, who just wanted to get away from the vampire, and not see him again, he would just have to find a secret place tonight where the monster wouldn't be able to find him.

But Edward wasn't stupid, even if he had been, he could hear Jacob's thoughts. Coming closer to the shape-shifter and leaning over him he said in a quiet tone "I know that it must be difficult for you Jacob, but don't make it harder. If you don't come to my house tonight I will chase you down, and I can tell you that you don't want that to happen."

The tone of Edward's voice struck a nerve, "Are you trying to threaten me?"

But Edward's gaze didn't waver. "I'm not just trying Jacob, I will do it if you don't come." He stared into the wolf's eyes as though trying to force the idea into his head.

A wave of resignation washed over his mind, Edward meant what he said. He knew that there wasn't anything to do but to accept the deal. Weren't you supposed to gain something by making a deal? So why did he have the feeling that he was making a mistake, one that he was going to regret very soon.

Edward must have read the answer from Jacob's mind before he could say anything, but he waited with a small smirk slowly emerging on his face for Jacob to voice the thought. "Fine. I will be at your house tonight."

As soon as the words were said, the vampire left. Feeling some relief, Jacob sat, almost collapsed, on the grass where Seth joined him a moment later.

"So what were you doing here?" asked the younger boy.

"The bloodsucker already told you that we were having a discussion," replied Jacob while looking at his feet.

"But what he said isn't true right? I saw the look on your face, I know that there is something going on with you, maybe- maybe I can help you if you tell me what it is."

What help could Jacob accept when he didn't even understand what was happening. He just needed to be alone, he didn't need to see the disgust on Seth's face if he knew the truth. Jacob could hear Seth calling for him, but he was already walking away, not looking behind him, because he already knew that nobody could help him.


A/N: a huge thx to my beta, because the first version of this chapter was awful :s, and it's only thx to her help that it turned into something good. so a huge thx to you le_lith! I'm really lucky to have you :D

I wanted to say that you guys are awesome for all the great reviews that you are giving on this fic! it really makes me happy, so thx :D

So while reading the fic I saw some good questions:

-one was from Rockinrobbien who asked: "is Bella going to find out?" ... well I can tell you that in the next chapter you will know what will be Edward's position toward Bella... yep a little confrontation between the two of them for the next chap' :D... and of course a lot more (because it's a Jakeward's fic after all ; )

-another great question was from Pace1818: "Since Edward drank Jacob's blood (human) , will his topaz eyes be flicked with red?"... well I know dear reader, I didn't answer your question because you only know the description of Edward's eyes when he hasn't fed... but just wait for the next chapter and you will know more about those eyes ;)

so don't forget to tell me what you think about this chapter; thx :D
