Here's chapter 6!

Chapter Six: Monsters

Their movements were so quick it was hard for me to see what was going on. I sighed. Boys will be boys.

"Is that the best you can do leech?" Jacob heckled.

"I could say the same to you dog!" Edward replied.

I sighed again, this time louder. Edward looked up, his face disappointed and his eyes had a slight sense of sadness in them. Jacob took this time to punch Edward's beautiful face with his tanned fist. There was a crack that filled the silent air. I gasped, Edward was holding his face and Jacob looked murderous.

"Jacob Black!" I screeched as quietly as I could. "Do you want me to come down there and kick your butt?"

"Uh.." he thought. "No?"

"Then stop fighting with Edward!"

He looked down at his feet like a small child that had just been told off my his stern mother.

"Just one more -"

"No," I interrupted.

Edward looked shocked that I was standing up for him and he soon had a smug smile on his face.

"Seriously you guys behave like children!" I moaned. "I love you both, can't you deal with that?"

Jacob shrugged his muscular shoulders and Edward muttered in a voice so low I couldn't hear him.

"Wait there," I said wearily. "I'll be down in a minute."

I turned away from my window and made my way through my room in the dark. It was easy because of my improved vision. I soon made my way to my bed and picked up some shoes I had thrown on the floor earlier. I pulled them on hastily. I didn't want to give them a chance to start another fight. I pulled my fingers through my hair, trying to make myself more presentable to the loves of my life. I knew Edward liked my haystack hair but I didn't. I pulled open my door and trudged down the stairs, missing out the one that creaked. If Charlie woke up he'd want to know what the hell I was doing creeping downstairs in the early hours of the morning. And I couldn't really say to him, "Oh, sorry I woke you Dad. I'm just going downstairs to stop a fight between a werewolf and vampire and that they're fighting over me", he would go mental and demand that he take me to the hospital... Again. This time a mental hospital though. I reached the bottom of the stairs and pushed the door open. I could hear Edward and Jacob arguing outside so I quickened my pace. I ran to the front door and pulled out the key and placed it in the slot and turned. It clicked and I pulled the door open. I jumped and ran round the house to the bedroom window.

Jake and Edward were staring at each other with hatred and I groaned.

"What's wrong Bella?" Edward asked curiously.

There was a brief pause and Edward continued looking at me. "I know you're mortal enemies and that I'm your mortal enemy too Edward, but I still love you, and I'd like it if you two could at least make an effort to like each other."

Edward sighed. "I'd do anything for you Isabella Marie Swan." He turned to face Jacob and held out his stone cold hand. "For Bella?"

Jacob's eyes looked everywhere except Edward's hand and he exhaled heavily and grabbed Edward's hand in a unemotional handshake. I smiled, feeling happy for the first time today.

Edward suddenly dropped Jacob's hand and his beautiful face was frozen in horror.

"Edward... What is it?" I asked anxiously.

He shook his head. "I have to leave. I'll return. You need to get back in the house."

My face was obviously puzzled because he swiftly muttered. "Charlie. He's awake."

"Oh, crap!" I moaned. After several seconds I ordered Jake to go home to La Push. Edward had left as soon as he'd informed me and I bolted for the door. I raced up the stairs, not caring if Charlie heard me because he was already awake. I was trying to get to my room before Charlie saw me. Unfortunately Charlie was at the door to his bedroom in his dressing gown. It was a chocolate brown gown that matched his wrinkled eyes perfectly. I couldn't move, I was waiting for the anger he would unleash on me.

"What do you think you are doing Isabella Marie Swan?" he shouted. He only used my full name when he was extremely angry. I couldn't see his face turn from his usual shade to red because it was dark and there was hardly any moonlight. But the good thing about the lack of light was that he couldn't see my face and know that I was about to lie.

"Well..." I said. "Jake was feeling really ill and he said he needed some medicine so I went over to La Push and took some for him." My voice went quiet at the end and I was cursing myself for thinking of such a bad excuse. He would never believe it.

"Well... Okay then Bells," he mumbled. "If you say so."

My eyes widened with shock. He believed me? Wow. My lying abilities must be better than I thought.

"Yeah... I feel sad." I pretended to be sniff a little. "He's my best friend and I can't see him because he's in bed with a lousy cold!"

"Well..." he pulled me into a hug and I pretended to cry into his shoulder. "Cheer up Bells." He checked my forehead once more and sighed. "Still got the fever."

I let go of him and nodded. "I'm going to sleep. It's been a long day."

"See you," he replied. I turned and entered my room. I was already in my pyjamas because I hadn't needed to change into normal clothes because of my temperature. I jumped into my bed, glad that this day was soon going to be over. It had been full of lies. I hate lying.

The covers were cold to my hot skin and I shivered a bit. I tried to get comfortable but it was too warm in my room. I went to my window and opened it as wide as it would go. It was chilly outside and the breeze was refreshing and welcoming against my pale skin. I climbed back into bed and kicked off the duvet, leaving me with just the sheets. That was better. I felt cooler now. I settled down but before I could drift off into sleep I felt cold arms envelope my body.

"You left the window open," he said quietly.

"I was hot and it was too warm so I needed some fresh air," I explained, out of breath. The contact made me breathless, like I used to be when I was human. I still loved Edward holding me close, the touch of his ice cold skin on my fragile human skin made me feel calmer. But now that I was a... Werewolf, it was still hard to accept what I am but I'll have to get used to it, his touch was soothing.

"Do you want me to hold you?" he asked nervously. Sometimes I felt sorry for him. Because of me he's being hurt continuously. He wasn't sure if we were together any more and I guess I didn't know either. I shrugged my shoulders and snuggled into him.

"If my smell doesn't bother you," I looked into his eyes, checking that the smell wasn't too overpowering and that it wasn't hurting him.

"I'd die for you if I could," he whispered into my ear. "Besides I don't have to breathe. I can manage." He paused, looking at my face. "My love for you Bella has only grown, I love you more now than I ever have before and I'll continue loving you forever, even if you don't want me any more."

I hadn't realised that his arms had snaked around my waist and we were in our usual sleeping position. I sighed, mainly to myself because sooner or later he'll know that I'm not good for him. When he left before he thought that he was dangerous for me, but now I know I'm the one that puts him in danger. I'm the monster. I pulled away from his body and a few tears escaped; they fell down my cheeks and fell onto my pillow.

"I'm a monster," I whispered.

He shakes his head. "No Bella. Don't ever say that. You are not a monster. Are you listening to me?" He reached out with his hand to make me face him. I looked into his golden eyes and I saw the sorrow within him. "You are not a monster," he repeated. "Now please, get some sleep, my love."

I nodded, thinking that that would be easier than arguing with him.

I crawled into his embrace again and closed my eyes. My thoughts raced through my mind. I thought of Edward, of Jacob, of human life, Charlie, my new found duties. I would have to ask Jacob to teach me the basics of patrol. The thoughts helped take away the pain and I fell asleep in Edward's arms like I used to before my old life was painfully taken away.
