We both shot up from our sitting position. Back to back we faced the pack.
"What are they doing here?" I asked.
"I have no idea!" Edward growled. "They should not be this far north."
"What?!" I screamed. "Where should they be?"
He hesitated before answering in a whisper. "Forks."
I was speechless.
A big gray wolf lunged at me. I ducked and he missed.
A black one, the largest, attacked Edward. He didn't even try to get out of the way. When it was close enough he grabbed a small tree, ripped it out of the ground, and hit the wolf with it. The large animal went flying into a boulder.
Then I turned around and came face to face with a rusty colored wolf. I waited for it to attack but it didn't, it just stared at me.
"That is right." Edward said coming up behind me, talking to the wolf.
The animal growled and Edward laughed darkly. A vicious noise came from deep within the beast's throat.
"It was not me who changed her, you have no right." He hissed.
The two of them became silent.
"Um… Edward?" I asked quietly. "What's going on?"
"This big thing here was your friend." He paused hesitantly. "Jacob Black."
My mouth dropped. Jake. He was the reason I got in an accident. The reason I got changed. After Edward left he was the one who put me together again. And he was the last one to break me in pieces.
Jacob started at me, trying to read my expression. He started to whimper and crawl closer to me but was stop by a growl from the black wolf. The whole pack seemed to be watching us.
He turned to look at the other wolf, who was still snarling at him. Then the black wolf left and the others followed. Jacob turned back to look at me with sadden eyes before turning at also following.
I stood there and stared at the spot where Jake had been. I couldn't believe it was him. I knew it was, I could see it in his eyes.
"Jake." I whispered but all I got in response was the rustle of leave when the wind blew.
After some time I felt large hands on my shoulder. Edward. The first to leave me and break me. Maybe one day Jake will come back also. I could only wish.
"It is getting, Bella. We should get back before the others start to worry." He whispered in my ear.
I closed my eyes and took and unnecessary breathe.
"Ok." I mouthed.
I let him turn me in the direction of the house and started to walk at a human pace. The only thing I could think about was Jake. I had finally seen him. Twenty long years I wait and now I just wish I could have talked to him.
"It will all turn out alright in the end." Edward stated confidently.
We walked in silence for a while.
"Yeah, well what if it doesn't?" I questioned, slicing though the quiet night.
"Then it is not the end." He said with a moment's hesitation.
I smiled.
"Come one I'll race to the house." I challenged and took off without his answer.
I heard a playful growl behind me and laughed.
When I reached the house Edward was already there. How is he so fast.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Cheater."
"What?" He asked with an innocent expression.
"You heard me." I was about to hit him when the front door opened and Cyrus stepped out.
"Bella, we need to talk to you." He said.
Kayla and Richard both stepped out behind him.
I smiled. "Ok."
They walked out to where I was standing in the yard. Then Cyrus turned at looked at Edward.
"Alone." He clarified.
Edward frowned but at a raised brow from me walked inside the house.
I turned back to Cyrus and the others.
"What?" I asked completely confused.
"Bella we have friends." Cyrus started.
"Powerful friends." Richard interrupted.
With a swift glare at Richard, Cyrus continued. "They use to work for the Voultri also."
I stared at them blankly, still not quite sure where they were going.
"They can help us, Bella." Kayla finally clarified.
I frowned. Jane was part of the Voutri too, but she's the one that killed Aro. The Voulti aren't really loyal anymore. How did I know their 'friends' weren't working with Jane?
"I trust them with my life." Cyrus confidently stated seeing the doubt in my eyes.
I nodded. "Ok." If Cyrus trusted them that much then so could I.
They smiled, relived.
"They'll be here by tomorrow evening," Cyrus told me.
"Good, we have to plan."
Kayla stared at me for a second then wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"What?!" I asked with mock anger.
"You smell like werewolf." She said.
"Oh yeah, we uh…" I stumbled over my words. "We ran into a pack."
"What?!" They all said in unison.
Their faced became mixed with many emotions. I took my chance while they were in shock of what I just said and started to walk away into the house. Richard regained his head before I could get too far. He stopped me with a hand on my shoulder.
I sighed then spun around to look at everyone again.
"I told you we should have just followed her!" Richard snarled.
"UGH." Was all Kayla could get out.
Cyrus just shook his head, deep in thought.
"Guys, guys, calm down." I tried.
"You could have been killed!" Kayla wailed.
"Yeah!" Richard added.
"But I wa—"
"Bella." Cyrus cut me off coming out of his thoughts. "From now on I don't think you should go anywhere alone."
I opened my mouth to argue but then closed it thinking it would be better not to. They were probably right anyway.
"Yeah." Kayla and Richard said backing Cyrus up.
"Ok." I sight in defeat.
All three of them looked relieved.
I smiled at them and started to go in the house. Richard was only a few feet behind me. I went to the room I was staying in and shut the door. He can stay out there. I need some time alone.
A while later I heard someone coming up the stairs.
"What do you want?" Richard asked.
"To speak with Bella." Alice sang.
I opened the door. Richard stepped to the side and Alice came in frowning.
"What's with the guard?" She asked.
I shrugged. "They're over protective.""
"I'd say."
"So what do you want?" I asked.
"Well I just wanted to say that I'm going to miss you." She said hugging me.
"Where am I going?" I was confused.
She smiled.
"Just promise me I can come and visit whenever I want!" I demanded.
"Where am I going?" I repeated.
"I really like it there and it wouldn't be nice to turn a guest away." She added.
"Alice?" I said sternly.
"Yes?" she looked at me with innocent eyes.
"Where am I going?" I repeated again slowly.
"Sorry Bella but I can't tell." She pursed her lips and shook her head.
"Alice." I growled.
"When are you going to tell everyone about our visitor?" She asked changing the subject, still smiling.
"Oh I'm sorry." I said sincerely. "I completely forgot about."
She jumped up. "Lets go tell them now."
I got up too and followed her to the door. She will tell me sooner or later. We went down stair, Richard right behind us.
"Could everyone please come to the living room." Alice called.
They were all there in less than ten seconds.
"Bella has something to tell us." Alice announced.
Everyone looked at me expectantly. I took a deep, unneeded, breath and told them about Cyrus's 'friends' and how they could help us. The whole time Edward was staring at me. Every now and then he would give me a 'look' and I would laugh in the middle of an explanation. When I finished the Cullens started at me putting all together in their heads.
"That's a great plan Bella." Carlisle said.
"Thanks but it was theirs." I waved a hand at my coven members.
We all laughed.
"Well let's all calm down and get ready for tomorrow." Carlisle stood up grabbed Esme hand and walked out of the room.
"I agree." Alice stood and walked out also.
The other Cullens stood up and followed, all except Edward.
He looked at me then at my family then back at me.
"Do you really think you can trust them, Bella." He asked concerned.
"Yes." I said confidently.
He gave me a look then nodded.
"I'll see you in a little." He said turning around.
"Edward." I called. He stopped and turned back around. "I'm going for a walk would you like to come."
He smiled and started to walk toward me. I rolled my eyes then turned to my family.
"I'm going to go for a walk." I announced to them.
"No! Really!" Richard said sarcastically.
"Don't be long." Cyrus called.
I stopped and turned to face him, Edward walked past me stopping in the yard.
"What does that matter." I said rolling my eyes. "One of you will be with me anyway."
He smiled. "Good point."
I laughed and walked out side catching up with Edward. I wonder who will be with me this time?
"Where are we going?" Edward asked.
I sighed. "I have no idea." I confessed.
He laughed and I punch his arm. He rubbed it pretending to be hurt.
"I just need to get out for a while before tomorrow."
We only got a few feet into the woods when I heard a crunching leaves. Kayla was beside us in less than a second. We all stared in the direction of the noise. Just then the wind picked up and brought a scent that burned my nose.
Edward growled.
A dark figure stepped out of the shadow.
"Jacob?" My voice trembled.
