Jacob had to check up on her, he had to. Ever since he got the invitation to go to the wedding of the love of his life and mortal enemy, he couldn't bare to think about her but he never stopped doing so. He had to make sure she was alright after a ' months, he wanted to make sure she was happy and healthy...and still alive to normal standards. Jacob knew that for some reason beyond his comprehension, Bella was hellbent on killing herself for him and joining his 'family'. He had to make sure those...those things didn't take the thing that was most precious to him, Bella's life.

The last few months he just needed to be alone and eh just kept running until he found himself in montana. He could never get himself calm enough to change forms once again so he had to live as a wolf for two and a half months. At that time, he had returned to Washington and returned to the pack who welcomed him back with open arms. Sam was able to talk him down and eventually he reverted back to his human form. After retelling his 'adventures' to the rest of the pack, he was able to get back home, get his motorcycle and drive to Chief Swan's place. He was welcomed in but when he asked where Bella was, got an unexpected response.

"Are you making fun of me Jacob?"

"W-what? I was just asking where B-"

"Bella's been...dead for a month and a half." He gritted his teeth as he spoke, it being hard for him to retell the death of his only daughter. "After the wedding, there was a car crash. Bella and Edward were going to LA for their honeymoon. Their car went careening over a cliff" he gritted his teeth as tears slid down his cheeks. He was clearly hurt by this, who wouldn't be? "All they could find of hers in the wreckage was her wedding ring"

"I'm sorry. I...I didn't know"

"I'm sorry that you didn't find what you were looking for."

"Are you alright, Chief Swan?" Charlie nodded slowly before closing the door on him.

Jacob was red in the face, not knowing what was going on. Bella couldn't really have been dead, she couldn't be! Even if this was true, that...that leach would have been able to save her! He was still alive. Bella was dead and Edward Cullen was still alive if this was true. But it was not very likely that this was true. Edward cared a lot about Bella and would have done whatever he could to save her. She was probably still alive and it was staged to make it so that everyone in down thought that she was dead. He decided to go to Cullen's place and see if anything was still there. On the way, black ribbons and curtains decorated the doors and windows of the houses that went by on the endless road. He felt the town in mourning and it made him even angrier to know that she was probably hiding out with the Cullens somewhere.

The Cullen's place was abandoned completely. There was a black sheet covering the door and the mailbox, but other then that, there was nothing there, it was as if the Cullens were never there. He guessed that they left under the lie that they had to leave because they were so stricken with grief that they had to leave. Where could they be now? he wracked his brain for ideas, there must have been something they had said to give her some sort of clue as to where they were...

Alaska. He remembered when they had to help the Cullens with the newborns that the leader...Carlisle, he thought, said something about other vampires living in Alaska. They might have gone up there to keep away from people for a while as they...as they killed Bella. He had to see her...he had to. He climbed onto his motorcycle, going back to the reservation.

"Everyone thinks she's dead?" Sam asked, everyone having coming together at Emily's house again.

"Yes" it was difficult for him to keep himself calm. Before it wasn't hard for him to keep his phasing under control and now he was more, if not more temperamental then Paul.

"The Cullens are gone too?" Seth interjected, leaning into the table they were all seated around.

"Yes"

"You think they might be in Alaska?"

"Are you going up there?"

"Do you want us to go with you?" Quil and Embry alternated in asking these things, they were always ones for action.

"Yes, yes and I think it'd be best if I went alone" Sam nodded ad looked around at all of he other pack members, everyone knew that they would not be going anywhere.

"Stay safe" Sam nodded as Jacob stood from the table and left.

When he phased, he was able to get to Alaska within a few hours, though by that time it was nightfall. He had come to a park to rest, he would not find her today. But then as the wind blew, it carried a scent along with it, the smell of vampire. He perked up and started to run in the direction of the smell. It was dangerous but to find his love, he really didn't care.

'Who puts a house in the mountains?' The air had stilled making it harder for anyone to be able to smell him, anyone who might have been in the house. Suddenly he heard the lifting and locking of a window, looking up towards it, he saw the most beautiful and horrifying thing he probably would ever see. Bella looked out of the window, and if it was possible she looked more beautiful now then ever. Her hair was no longer a pretty chocolate brown, it was now almost black. Her porcelain white skin seemed to glimmer in the moonlight as did her...her blood red eyes.

"...Jacob?" She called out to him, looking down into the darkness. She sounded exactly the same though she looked so different. What had they done to her?

Jacob backed up and shook his head. No, this couldn't have happened to her, this wasn't happening! He could feel tears welling in his eyes as he backed up ad ran away from the scene. "Bella..." She was one of them now! They had broken the treaty and run like cowards! All respect she might have had for the Cullens went out the window at that moment. He had to do what he had to go and go back to his pack and tell them what had happened to her, what those monsters did to her.

It took a while for him to get back to Washington, as he spent a lot of time thinking about what he saw. The vision of those red eyes looking at him taunted him the whole time as he went back to his home. As hard as he tried, he just couldn't get it out of his head. He seemed an empty shell as he came back to the reservation, changing back as he stepped onto First Beach. Tears fell down his cheeks as he fully realized what had happened. For the first time in a long time, he was powerless. He couldn't do anything to help or stop what was happening to the love of his life. He sat on the beach, staring out at the sunrise and the sky and the water until Sam found him.

"Are you alright?" He asked, putting a hand on Jake's shoulder, it was the absolute last thing he needed to be asked at that moment. Sure he was fine but Bella, his Bella had been ravaged by those things and they had the audacity to change her into one of them. "They didn't...did they?" Even without them having phased, he knew by the look on Jake's face, the absolute disparity. Jake just looked up and nodded, he eyes filled with tears that were now spilling over. He looked more like a child now then he ever did when he was part of the pack, he looked scared and vulnerable.

"I'll get the guys together" There was an awkward pause as Jake said nothing in return or even make a move to get up. "I'll gather them in the afternoon. Take it easy, alright?" He knew there was nothing that could change the situation or really help it.

Later in the day, they had all gathered together around Emily's dining room, discussing the news Jake he had returned with. He was looking paler and more ghost like then the day before, wearing one of Sam's oversized t-shirts, having stayed the night with him. His eyes seemed wide and empty and hopeless. Everyone tried not to say the name 'Bella' or mention the Cullens by name because they would have to see him cringe in pain, it was hard for all of them but he certainly took it the worst.

"So are we going after them or what?" Paul finally asked, pounding his hand against the coffee table.

"Yes we are, tomorrow"
