Hey guys. Enjoy the new chapter and don't forget to review.

Jacob POV

She smelled like leech, which didn't make any sense. When Arnela got into the car, all I could smell was the sick sweet vampire stench. It was all over her, as if she was hugged by a vampire or something like that. And I hated the thought of that. My body started to shake, but Arnela didn't notice it. I couldn't take it anymore. The smell wouldn't go away, even after opening the window. And it made me want to throw up. So I drove faster, to get to Emily sooner. But that didn't help me stop my shaking. My wolf wanted to phase from the smell and just wanted find the bloodsucker and kill him. I tried as hard as I could to concentrate on something else, but nothing worked.

"Dude. Stop! You're shaking like crazy!" A voice surprised me from the passenger seat. Arnela was looking at me concerned and like I was some kind of weirdo.

"I'm just a little cold." I lied. She didn't look convinced by my lie, but let it go anyways turning around her seat to look outside the window.

"Can I ask you something?" I was in desperate need to know how that vampire stench is on her, so I decided to just ask her. But I was sure she wouldn't want to talk to me after yesterday.

"Of course." She replied and surprising me. I really thought she would say no. Guess not.

"What did you do this morning?" I asked after a moment.

"Why do you ask?" Arnela answered with a question.

"No reason, just trying to make small talk." I lied again. Ughh, I hated lying, but I couldn't tell her the truth, because she will think that I was crazy.

"Oh, I thought you would listen to 'your girlfriend' and not talk to a freak." She responded. It was weird how she said 'your girlfriend'. As if she knew it was a lie. I hope not, because then it would be just awkward.

"I really didn't mean what I said to Bella last night. I just wanted her to think that I don't like you, so she wouldn't be jealous."

"I don't believe you, because Bella isn't your girlfriend." I was shocked at first, not knowing where she found that out, but then it hit me.

"How… Leah, of course." I sighed.

"Yes, Leah told me. And can you now explain why you lied about that?" Arnela asked, looking at me. Or better said, glaring at me.

"No, I can't" I answered. I didn't think like telling her that I wanted to prevent that she falls in love with me.

"Jerk." Arnela murmured, thinking I wouldn't hear it, but with my shape shifter superior hearing I did.

"But I will tell you why I lied, if you tell me what you did this morning." I said. Finding out about why she was near a vampire, was much more important than my explanation.

"Okay. I was with my friend, Jeremy. He came to see me and yeah, we ate breakfast and then he got out into the forest." She responded. What she said make me start to shake even more than before. She was friends with a vampire. He can kill her in an instant. I have to stop this. I have to kill him, in order to protect her. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my arm and my body immediately relaxed at the touch and stopped shaking. It was Arnela. I felt complete, when she touched me. And I hated it. Only Bella could make that happen. What is happening to me. I have to stop this now. I took my arm out of her grip and concentrated on the road, but not before noticing her sad look. Like she was hurt, because I moved from her touch. I felt bad, but I couldn't apologize now.

"Sorry. I just…I mean you were shaking again and… Just, sorry." Arnela spoke after a minute. I didn't say anything, because I didn't really know what to say.

We drove for five minutes more, before getting to Emily's place. Arnela hesitated at first, but then she got out of the car and towards the house.

I walked in without knocking, like always and greeted Paul, Jared, Seth, Sam and Emily. Emily looked very happy, but at the same time she lookeed scared. Arnela walked in awkwardly then and greeted everyone with a simple 'hello'. Paul and Jared were the first one to stand up and both of them pulled her in a group hug. I felt the need to beat Jared and Paul up, but I restraint myself. I think they noticed the vampire stench and gave me a questioning look, but I just shook my head and mumbled 'later'.

"Arnela, you're back!" Jared yelled, looking at her again.

"Enough guys. I can barely breath." She said, making the boys let go of her.

"Why are you all changing? First Leah then Jeremy, now you, Jared." She said, confused.

"Jeremy changed?" Paul asked.

"Yeah, a lot. Just like you guys." Arnela responded. How did Paul knew the bloodsucker? Whatever, I guess he is going to help me look for him.

"Hi, Nela. How are you?" Emilys voice came from behind. Paul and Jared decided to sit again and Emily stood up to go to her little sister. Arnela tensed up and sucked in a deep breath, before answering to her sister.

"I'm fine, you? Emily looked surprised that she replied kindly.

"Good. How long are you staying?"

"Not long. If dad doesn't change his mind." Arnela said, sitting down next to Paul. Emily did the same, but she sat next to Sam. "Okay. Are you hungry?" Emily tried again, after she saw that Arnela didn't have something else to say. "No, I already ate. Thanks."

"I'm very glad you're here, Arnela. Thanks for coming." Em smiled.

"Don't thank me. Thank Jeremy." Arnela smiled a little, mentioning that leech again. Emily smiled back. "He convinced you to it?"

"Yeah." She answered, shortly. Emily realised that Arnela didn't want to talk anymore so she got up to make some lunch. Arnela started talking to Jared and Paul and I felt jealousy every time Paul made her laugh. I just ignored this feeling and took this opportunity to talk to Sam.

"Can I talk to you for a second, Sam?" I asked.

"Sure" We walked upstairs so nobody would hear us.

"Tell me, did you notice something about Arnela's stench?" I started.

"Yeah, she smells like vampire. Did you found out why?" Sam questioned.

"I did. It was this friend of hers. Jeremy."

"Well we have to catch him and kill him, before he kills somebody. I'll call Jared and Paul to come with me. You stay with Arnela." He ordered. It sucked that I had to stay here, but I couldn't disobey Sam. I just nodded to let him know that I will stay.

" By the way, Arnela said he was out in the woods." I informed, before he went downstairs.

"Okay." He walked downstairs and I followed him.

"Jared, Paul come on. We have some work to do." The boys got up not asking questions, because Arnela was there. After they got out, I sat across from her. She was still looking at the door, probably wondering where the guys have gone.

"Where did they go?" Arnela asked, confirming my thoughts.

"They just had to check something up." She nodded.

"Jacob, you still haven't told me why you lied." Arnela said. Man! I thought she would have forgotten about that.

"Well, I just wanted you to think that I was already taken, so that you wouldn't…" I hesitated before finishing my sentence. "Like me."

She looked at me funny before responding. "Why would I like you?"

"Oh come on. You already know the reason. I'm hot" I joked.

"Oh please. Even my grandpa is hotter than you." She laughed, amused. I faked a gasp, pretending to be hurt.

"That really hurt me. You broke my heart." She laughed even more.

"I didn't know you had a heart." She said back.

"I had a heart, but you just broke it. And know I'm leaving you forever." I stood up and went to the kitchen, where Emily was watching us amusing.

"Your little sister is so mean." I said.

"She isn't mean. She just tells the truth." Em laughed, taking the brownies out of the oven. "How dare you?" I smiled.

We joked around for half an hour more and it was really funny. I noticed Arnela is the complete opposite from Bella. She was so funny and I just had to laugh with tears sometimes. She said whatever was in her mind, not caring what others say. And Bella, well she was very shy and had no sense of humor. But I still love her and Arnela being funnier than her is not gonna change that.

Arnela is just my friend and that's gonna stay like that. Boy, how wrong I was.
