Well here is the next chapter. Hope you guys like it and sorry it took some time, but i did my best and thanks for reading and giving me an opportunity to share my opinion on what should have happened.

"What did he say?" Charlie asked again after a long silence from my part.

"Well, dad… umm how can I say this.. I guess you could say I'm letting go of the past and embracing the future?" I finally said. It was so difficult to talk about this with Charlie, even harder than telling Jacob how I felt about him. He was going to pay the next time I saw him for dropping the bomb on Charlie and letting me deal with the aftermath.

"So what you're saying is that you're moving on… from Edward?" he says cautiously probably expecting me to break down at the mention of his name.

"Yes, dad and you don't have to be so cautious about how you say Edward's name. Although I would prefer if we didn't talk about that part of my life anymore."

"So, you think Jacob can help you move on?" he says questioning.

"Yeah, I do dad. You don't know how much he means to me," I say reassuring him.

"Well, okay, as long as you're happy. Just tell Jacob to remember I'm a cop… which means I have a gun, just in case," he says flashing a smile and leaves to his room.

I stand there for a moment thinking back to today. I recall the day from the beginning to now, from jumping of the cliff, to kissing Jacob for the first time, to seeing Alice again and saying our goodbye's and to telling Jacob that I loved him. Finally, my exhaustion of the day caught up to me and I went upstairs to sleep and for once I wasn't scared of what the night would bring.

In the morning I wasn't at all shocked by the fact that I hadn't had any dreams. The bad dreams had probably left when my hole had been healed by Jake. I was a little relieved that I would no longer have to be afraid when going to sleep. Suddenly, I realized that there was still something I had to be scared of. Well, not something, someone. Victoria. With everything that had happened I had totally forgotten the reason Jacob was out on patrol. God I'm stupid, I thought to myself.

I dressed as quickly as possible and went down stairs and found Charlie eating breakfast. "Hey, kiddo. You headed to La Push?" he asked when he saw me.

"Yeah. I just want to check up on Jake. How are you dealing dad?" I asked a little worried seeing dark circles under his eyes.

"I'm okay, Bells. You don't need to worry about me. I'm going to go help Sue with some funeral arrangements," he replied.

"That's good, I bet Sue could use some company. Well, I'll see you later," I said and turned around when I thought of something. I turned back and gave Charlie a hug. He was a little shocked but quickly recovered hugging me back. "Love you, dad."

I knew Charlie had as hard a time expressing his feelings as me but he immediately replied, "Love you too, Bells."

Seeing how easily I could lose someone I loved made me appreciate the ones I had even more. As long as Victoria was still out there my loved ones and I would still be in danger, but Jacob was the one that was out there hunting her down. I wouldn't lose him. I couldn't.

I didn't know where I was headed at first, but I finally decided to head over to Emily's place. Jacob had said they were going to be running patrol all night, so I figured Emily would have some news on them. I pulled up on the tiny familiar house that looked so cheerful on the outside with all the flowers booming but also so out of place because of the dark, thick forest surrounding it.

Inside, I found Emily cleaning up around which was immediately a bad sign. From the time I had spent here with Emily I had noticed that when she got nervous or anxious she would start cleaning the house even if it didn't need cleaning. "Hey, Em," I said catching her attention away from some dishes.

She smiled at me but even on the damaged side of her beautiful face I could see the fear she felt so clear in her features. "Hi, Bella," she said.

"I just came to see if the guys were here… or if there were any news," I said.

"Actually, yes Bella," she said sighing, "The thing is I don't know how you'll take it. I don't want to scare you."

"How much more scared can I get? Just tell me, Em," I said. She gestured for me to take a seat on the table. I knew deep down what was coming, but I was still growing more anxious by the second. We both sat down. I waited while Emily figured out how to tell me.

"Okay, well… during the night Jacob and Embry were on patrol… when they caught a fresh trail…," she said waiting for my reaction.

"They found her?" I asked my terror clearly showing in my voice.

"Yes, but as soon as they informed us the others left to help. It's been a few hours since they left, they should be here any moment."

We waited, not so patiently if I must say. Emily returned to her cleaning and I paced around the house. It wasn't really helping me relax, so I finally gave up and just sat down on the table thinking. Even thought there was only one of her, she was still the most dangerous and malicious vampire I had met. I couldn't bear the fact of Jacob or any of the pack's members facing her. If anything happened to them I would have that on my concious forever. Jacob thought it was foolish of me to think they couldn't take her, but I still worried. I finally noticed Emily had stopped cleaning and came over to sit beside me. We sat in silence, but after a few moments she offered me her hand. It was a sing of comfort. So we waited, hand in hand, for our werewolves to come home.

After what seemed like hours we finally heard some footsteps on the porch. We ran outside and half yanked the door open. We finally saw them coming up the steps; Sam infront with Jacob, Jared, Paul, and Embry trailing behind. They all looked prefectly fine. Actually, they were smilling with so much joy and pride on all their faces. They looked like they had just come from playing football and they all scored the winning touchdown. Seeing them like this with the same expressing on their faces they all looked exactly alike, like brothers, but of course they were already brothers even if they didn't have the same blood running through their veins.

I ran straight for Jacob with so much force it almost knocked us both down, but he caught me just in time. He laughed lightly, pleased by my reaction. "Wow, easy Bells," he said but drew me closer into him.

"Yeah, easy there love birds," Paul said with a smirk. Jacob obviously couldn't keep the kiss out of his mind, but it didn't matter. What mattered was that he was here. Safe and whole.

I pulled back just a tiny bit to see Jacob face and asked the question that was burning up inside me "What happened? Did you find her?"

He frowned lightly and opened his mouth to answer.

There it is. What did you guys think? What do you think happened to Victoria? Did she escape again or did the pack finally get her? Stay tuned all the answers will be revealed in the next chapter.

Thanks again for reading and PLEASE REVIEW.
