Chapter 7

Author's Note: I'm sorry it's been so long but I'm back and ready to wrap things up (hopefully soon)! Well I'm trying to find all the quirks and knots in this plot line but ah it has problems. Let me admit that this is one horrid puzzle lol. Anyways as with this coming together, I of course have to first settle out the drama, which is this chapter! Yay! Lol well sort of...

"talk" 'POVC thoughts' 'Edward reading thoughts'

Chapter 5: Comparing Drawings [Of The Future] (A/N: just to be clear, however, Jacob wasn't drawing the future)

Normal POV

Jacob sat in his human form for a few more final moments before shifting again. He opened his eyes once more to see a hospital-like room, with the Cullens surrounding him. He was shocked, but passed out before he could say anything. (A/N: his body forces him into unconsciousness before shifting) Carlisle shooed the other Cullens out of the room, leaving Edward and Jacob alone. After he closed the door, he fled to his study, and called Sam Uley. "What did you do?"

Edward's POV

I sat on the bed next to my mate. Yes, I had accepted it, finally. Jacob was mine. After seeing him collapse, and having no idea what had happened... I was so scared.

~short flashback~

I picked Jacob up hurriedly and ran to my home. I didn't care about anything accept getting Jacob to some sort of safety, security. I burst the door door down and shouted for Carlisle. He wasn't home. No one was. I ran to the spare hospital room Carlisle kept here. I laid Jacob on the bed and called Carlisle. He said he was headed home now. I climbed into bed with Jacob, hugging him close. I whispered "I love you; I know that now." and waited, quietly, for the return of Carlisle.

~end flashback~

I had left the bed once Carlisle's vehicle pulled in and then the family came soon after. Rosalie seemed most... scared. Although at first she thought it was my fault, but combined effort from Esme and Emmett calmed her down and she simply ignored me afterwords, which was better than accusing. Anyways, it appears Jacob is fine. That "Beast" just scared him, and his body shut down. I sat with him anyways.

To be honest, I wanted to see him shift. It was a beautiful thing and went perfectly with sunrise. Suddenly, as the light shone in from the sunrise, the shine from my body, sort of... connected, with Jacob. The light surrounded him, then it was gone. I looked at him. He was still human. "Jacob?" I asked slowly.

'Leave me alone, Edward' He said to me. 'Oh and turn the lights out.'

"Jacob! Wake up! That light is sunrise. You are in our house. And... you're still human." I told him. He immediately shot up and ran to the window. He looked at me, and suddenly, the breath was stolen from my lungs (although unneeded it still took me by surprise). "That's why our spirits connected." I thought aloud. The look in his eyes changed.

"I- I should go." He said looking away.

"But Jacob... Carlisle wanted to see you when you woke up," I lied, "He said he wanted to make sure you were okay." I sent him a concerned look.

"Okay but, could you please leave me alone until he returns?" Jacob asked. He looked away from me and resettled in his bed. I nodded and left Jacob to his thoughts. I closed the door and turned to Carlisle's study. I was going to head out for a hunt so I could ponder the connection I had seen, along with the feelings that arose when he looked at me.

Jacob's POV

I laid on the bed pondering what had happened. 'I guess I imprinted?' I mused. Suddenly Carlisle entered and, at the same time, a pain shot up my back. I almost screamed in pain, but managed to hold it in. "Jacob, Edward left to go hunting and asked me to watch you for awhile." He said, rather calmly although I was groaning in pain in the bed before him. "Just as I suspected." He said softly, though I caught it.

"What- What do you mean?" I asked, still baring the pain. Carlisle looked to me, as if surprised I noticed him at all.

"Well, don't be mad but, I believe you imprinted. Now I must wait for Edward to return before I explain it all, but rest Jacob. I will call for Edward, to lessen the pain." He finished. I was confused, but didn't say a word. I slowly felt the pain dissolve, and most feeling going with it, due to the overactive nerves tiring themselves out, as Dr. Carlisle told me. As my body went numb, I slowly fell deeply into sleep, and dreams.

~Jacob's Dream/Normal POV~

A large russet wolf ran through the forest, chuckling through his mind and thinking, 'Hah! You can't catch me, a great Quileute wolf!' Suddenly, a majestic shining vampire emerged from his left and softly tackled him to the forest floor. "What was that you were saying?" Edward spoke to Jacob. He noticed a light humorous tone in his voice. Jacob shifted to his human form, Edward's light connecting to Jacob as the shift occurred.

The now human Jacob stood and wrapped his arms around Edward, who then lifted Jacob, bridal style. "Take me home, Ed." He said softly. The older nodded, and the two ran to the Cullen home. Edward set Jacob down next to his car, and kissed him a goodnight. Goodbyes were awkward, both wanting the other to ask to stay, but in the end, Billy only agreed to let Jacob and Edward stay together if he saw Jacob every other weekend. So, it wasn't too bad.

~End Jacob's Dream/Return to Jacob's POV~

I awoke to find Edward holding my... paw. Carlisle stood at the door, on the phone with someone, looking at us knowingly. I noticed Edward wasn't looking at my face, therefore unaware I was awake, when suddenly, I heard his voice, inside my head! 'Jacob... I'm sorry! I didn't know you imprinted... I didn't know it could hurt you so much. I'm sorry Jacob.'

I was stunned, but I still replied, 'Edward! I- I'm okay, I think. Yes, I imprinted. I didn't know you could hurt me so much either, but it's all okay now.' He looked at me, wide-eyed.

'You- You can hear me?' He asked through his mind. I simply nodded. He still looked stunned when Carlisle suddenly walked up and put a hand on his son's shoulder.

"Well, you're looking better Jacob!" he started happily, "But I bet you could use some food. How about you and Edward go for a meal, then you can either return to your shelter or return here if you feel ill again?" he asked. I simply jumped from the bed and nodded. I was confused, feeling he knew more than he spoke, but brushed it off and headed for the door.

That is until I remembered earlier. However the second it came to my mind, words already escaped Edward's lips: "What is it you needed both of us to tell?" Carlisle swore under his breath before motioning the two of us to return to our seats.

"Well," Carlisle started, "There is a prophecy of sorts, that had been passed through both the Volturi and Quileute clans. Both sides differ in some ways, but both state that a vampire, typically male, would fall for shape-shifter, male as well. The Volturi book had explained how the shifter was deceitful and had seduced the vampire, where the Quileute book said the reverse; the vampire had seduced the shifter. However myself and Billy, who remember the original stories being told, remember no such corruption of their love. We believe you two are said vampire and shifter. Your imprinting only seems to prove such theories."

We looked to Carlisle, stunned. I looked at Edward, who had a look of confusion on his face. He stood and turned to me, "Come, Jacob. Let's go hunt." I nodded, confused as to how else to react, and followed him out the door.

~Normal POV~ ("Carlisle" [Billy])

Edward and Jacob left out the back door and fled into the woods. Carlisle watched them leave before calling Billy Black. "Hello, they know now... [What?] I had to tell them... [Why? What could possibly force you to tell them?] Well, I believe it has started... [You mean...?] Yes, he imprinted. Which would mean Edward has already accepted him as a mate... [Do you know when it happened?] I am unsure of how it all happened... [Okay. Just, please, look after him.] I will." And with that, Carlisle pressed the end button before sliding his phone back in his coat pocket. He pulled out his car keys and left a note on the back door.

Called in for work. Be back later.

-Carlisle

P.S. Play nice.

~End Chapter~

Author's Note: Is it just me or is this thing crap? Either I am a sewer (not quite shitty, but definitely NOT even good) writer. Well I hope someone enjoyed it. Please review!

Oh P.S. I think I kinda just realized what I based off my way of shifting off of. If you can guess it, you get cookie points. Hint: it's animated.
