(Bella's PoV)
It's been weeks and still Jacob hasn't called.
At first I waited patiently but when one day started turning into two and two days were turning into three...I couldn't wait any longer. I called multiple times, more times than what was proper that was for damn sure. But I didn't care, I was worried for him. When the Cullens left and I found that note I was a mess. But then Jacob showed up and anchored me. He kept me sane and I depended desperately on him.
Not that I ever wanted to admit it. I wanted to be strong, to prove I could stand on my own two feet...and I felt that if I admitted (even to myself) how much I needed him I would end up in the same situation that Edward had left me in.
I will not get left in the woods for a second time. Oh no, I learned my lesson.
But still. . . Jacob was a good friend . . . my best friend. What if something happened to him? What if he needed me and I wasn't there? I wanted someone to depend on me for a change.
I sighed, tapping my foot impatiently as I dialed the familiar number I have dialed a thousand times before in the past three weeks. I'm getting to the bottom of this. Even if it kills me. I waited for what felt like an eternity with low expectations. I doubted they would answer...they haven't answered their phone for over a week.
Which irritated me because stunts like that cause my imagination to run wild and I ended up checking their house (in which they weren't there.) then in a panic the local hospital and to my relief (and slight irritation) they weren't there either. Which brought up the question . . .
Where are they?
A question that has plagued my mind for -
"Hello?"
My thoughts were interrupted as the familiar voice of Billy Black caught me completely off my guard.
"Hello?" he repeated after a few minutes in which I still haven't said anything. Quickly I shook my head and gathered my thoughts
"Billy?" I questioned, still unsure if he really answered the phone. After all it could be a delusion brought on from my intense wishful thinking.
"Yes. . .?"
"I see that your phone line s working again!" I chirped trying to sound cheerful while on the inside I was screaming at him for not answering the first couple hundred damn times I called. " It's me Bella. I was calling to see if Jake was finally doing any better! It's been so long since I've heard from you guys I've been really getting worried! Is he up for visitors yet? Because I was thinking about stopping by with some home made chicken noodle -"
"I'm sorry Bella." Billy interrupted, his voice sounded faraway and it made me wonder if something might be distracting him. "He's not in."
What?
"Um he's not in?" and I knew the way I asked came off as a little rude but at this point I just didn't care. My anger was quickly over powering my sense of manners.
"No. I'm afraid he's not."
"So. . . he's feeling better then?"
"Yeah. Turned out to be a really nasty virus but he's okay now. He just left with a couple of friends to go up to Port Angeles for a movie. Double feature I believe so he's probably not going to be back until really late."
I just hung up not even bothering to say goodbye as I slammed the phone back into it's cradle.
How dare he?
Nice to know he feels good enough to drive up and see a movie but not well enough to pick up the phone and give me a call to at least let me know he's still alive.
"Hey Bell-" I turned around to see a serious face Charlie staring back at me and for a moment we just looked at each other at a complete loss. He seemed to be struggling with wanting to say something. . .and I was just confused.
"Bella? Is something wrong?"
"Huh?" It took me a moment to realize that I was crying and that was what caught Charlies attention. I rose a shaky hand and wiped the traitorous tears away.
I really didn't want to cry over this.
"Bella . . ."
I cut him off, "I'm okay dad."
"You don't look okay."
I just stared, I don't remember Charlie ever being this pushy. He was usually the "Hands off" kind of parent.
"Bella you can tell me. What's wrong?"
"Jake's doing better."
he looked confused then, as he made his way into the kitchen, walking around me to start packing his lunch for his fishing trip. "And that has you upset?"
I sighed, "Yes and no. I'm glad he's feeling better but I'm pissed that he ran off today and didn't bother to call me to let me know he was at the very least okay."
And just before Charlie can bother me anymore I added, "And I also think I'm going to be starting my period."
Anything he was going to say died instantly on his lips as he turned to face away from me and I blushed crimson. I hated saying things like that, especially to my dad. But I just needed him to back off and give me time to think. He really picked the worst possible time to suddenly be interested in my life.
There was a long stretch of silence before he finally spoke again, "Well Bella I'm going to go fishing with Harry today. . .are you going to be okay here?"
"Yeah dad. Don't worry about me."
"Are you sure? I -I could stay if you wanted me too?"
I rolled my eyes, "Dad it's fine. Listen I have homework to catch up on. I'll call Jessica or something."
He nodded as he snapped his cooler shut and tucked it under his arm. "Alright then. Just. . . make sure to stay away from the woods."
"More bear trouble?"
He nodded, "Yeah, a hiker recently went missing and the only clue we have are the big animal tracks around the campsite. Anyway they're setting traps up for it now."
"Oh."
He gave me a look then and for the briefest of moments I could see everything he wanted to tell me in just that glance. Be. Careful.
I realized how terrible of a daughter I must be to worry Charlie like this. I've been nothing but trouble since I got here.
I forced a smile as I made shooing motions with my hands "Go on. Go fish. Don't make Harry wait for you."
He nodded slowly, not quite convinced but still willing to go. When he finally stepped out of the door I let out a sigh of relief as I made my way upstairs. I definitely wasn't going to call Jessica. If she wasn't annoyingly peppy then she hated me and I almost preferred the latter.
When I laid down on my bed I reached under my pillow and pulled out a worn piece of paper enjoying the feeling of it in my hands. It was a comforting weight, a reminder that they still cared. Even if it's only a little bit.
Finding that letter that day really put some things in prospective, it made me feel a little better. I wasn't completely abandoned because Alice definitely has seen something. It gave me hope.
Sighing again I shoved the note back under my pillow and got up, there is no use moping. If Jacob didn't want to see me anymore. . .if he wanted to abandon me like Edward. . .
Then, Fuck him.
I don't need this anymore and I'll be damned if I let another boy so far into my heart that he could destroy me. No. I will never give anyone that kind of power again. Not if I can help it. With a renewed sense of determination I grabbed my shoes and slipped them on before making sure my keys are snug in my pocket as I made my way out of the house.
It was time I truly said goodbye to Edward. I needed to let go.
An hour or so later I found myself in a place I thought I would never see again. I surveyed the area in front of me. The perfectly symmetrical clearing with it's beautifully tall waving green grass. The sound of a creek no more than a mile away at the very most filled the silence of the air. It wasn't nearly as beautiful as I remembered it but it could be because of the fact that there was very little to no sun today and it was the wrong season for wildflowers. But whatever the reason the place I once found absolutely stunning was nothing more than an empty shell of what I remember.
Ironic how it seemed to feel just like me. The Meadow.
"There you are."
The voice startled me and I turned my head sharply nearly giving myself whiplash as I caught a lone figure standing clear across the clearing seemingly hidden by shadows. It unnerved me to see someone else here. It wasn't like this meadow was easy to get too it was miles away from the nearest trail and I'm positive that if I didn't make Jake help me map it out I'd probably have never found this place again.
"W-Who are you?" I tried to sound strong but my voice trembled, I had a bad feeling about this.
"Name's Damian." he stepped from the shadows of the trees just as the sun broke through the clouds for the briefest of seconds. But it was long enough for me to notice the glowing sparkle of his too white skin.
Vampire.
I gasped as my gaze went from the skin of his arm straight to the startling crimson of his eyes.
Crimson. Eyes.
Shit!
"Nice to meet you." I muttered as I slowly tried to back away, one tiny step at a time. This was a terrible idea, coming to the meadow. . . I hoped he didn't notice what I was doing.
"Listen I'm going to cut to the chase here. . ." he began flashing me fang as he grinned widely showing off his brilliantly white teeth. "I'm here due to the fact that I owe someone a favor. So to make absolutely sure . . .you are Isabella Swan right?"
I froze mid-step backwards, he was doing a favor for someone? "For who?"
He grinned again flipping his raven locks back with a jerk of his head, "So I'm going to take that as a yes, that you are Isabella Swan."
I nodded once, "I am, now please for who?"
he was approaching me now a predator gleam in his eye, "You made one hell of an enemy Miss Swan."
"I did?"
"Oh yes, you see the person I owe this favor too asked me to obtain you for her. You killed her mate and she wants revenge."
My eyes widened until they were the size of saucers, " Victoria." the name came out as a mere whisper as panic seemed to close itself around my throat, choking me.
"Yeah. What she has in store for you isn't pretty." he took a deep unnecessary breath "But God you smell good I might just kill you myself, she'll be angry of course but anything I do to you won't be as bad as what she wants to do."
He took another breath, terror keeping me immobile as my brain screamed for my limbs to move, to run. But I couldn't run I was stuck, frozen by my own fear.
"You smell so. . . mouthwatering."
Just when I thought all hope was lost as I watched him slowly, (as if teasing me) approach, a large bear emerged from the trees, or at least a first glance I thought it was a bear, but as it stalked closer, I noticed that it wasn't a bear at all but a wolf. It was enormous, definitely larger than any wolf I had seen before. It was as tall as a horse.
The vampire, Damian I think he introduced himself as must have sensed it because he swore colorfully under his breath and made a mad dash toward me, closing the short distance between us, grabbing me firmly by the arm.
The wolf growled, and three more came running into the clearing.
"Victoria is going to be so pissed at me." the vampire muttered as he dragged me impossibly close to his body, crushing me into his chest.
"Hold on tight, hopefully the shock won't kill you."
The wolves were running now, charging at us but before they got too close the world spun around me as colors blurred together and my world went black.
A/N: Nothing much to say here. Next chapter is the big ol' confrontation between Bella and Jasper oh my! more will be explained about Damian as well as his freaky power next chapter as well. But don't worry I hate OC's so he won't be around long. Just where he's needed.
