A/N: As promised, I wrote more!

August 16, 2008

"Must you really be going?" Kate asked, "We see six months of darkness here."

"I'm afraid so," Carlisle replied, giving her one last hug. "We'll be back soon."

"Alright, we're holding you to that." Tanya said, smiling at us. "And very, very soon, promise?"

"Promise," Esme smiled back. We said our goodbyes and headed back home.

The rain was heavy when we returned. Edward and I had left the others to go walking. We stopped at a small cliff that hung over a large river. A waterfall gushed not far from our spot. "Have you ever been here?"

I shook my head, "No…this is the first time…" He wrapped his arms around me from behind and smirked into my neck.

"Good, because this is a late surprise," He said, placing small kisses under my jaw.

"Birthday surprise?" I asked. Edward laughed.

"Something like that." I turned around to face him.

"Should I know what that's implying?" He smirked and kissed me. I felt my shirt slip off my arms, and then my jeans. "Seriously?" I asked, laughing as he pulled my legs around his waist. I pulled his shirt off, running my fingers up his spine. He brought his lips back to mine as he got his pants off.

He jumped off the cliff into the water, still holding on to me tightly. We came up from the water, and I laughed, messing his hair up. I gave him a small kiss before pushing him under the water.

"I love you," He said, wrapping me in his arms again when he came back up.

"I love you, too." I smiled, running my fingers through his soaking wet hair. He pulled me under the water with him and kissed me again. I couldn't be more happier than I was in that moment; forever was going to seem like the best day ever.

I was just outside of Forks, on the Reservation. I wasn't hunting, I just wanted to explore this peculiar town I would have given no thought to if I hadn't found Edward.

I was walking along the beach. I knew my family had a treaty with the "others" here, but they didn't know me, so I was safe.

There was a group of boys about sixteen or seventeen playing football at the other end of the beach. One of them noticed me and ran over to me.

"Hey, 'you lost?" He asked. I shook my head.

"No, I know where I am." I replied; slightly irritated by the way he spoke.

"You…need anything?"

"No," I said, "I'm just walking."

"You're not from here, are you?"

"Why do you care?" I asked suddenly. This boy was infuriating! And he smelled like a wet dog. He didn't look taken back from my harsh outburst.

"It's the twenty-first century," He smirked, "since when does anybody not care about other people's business?" He had a point.

"You know the feeling then." I said. He looked at me confused, "You know…the feeling of someone being a pain in the ass." He laughed.

"You're all right," He replied. "I'm Jacob Black." He held his hand out.

"Bella Cullen." I said, shaking his hand. Jacob gave me a look.

"Cullen? You mean you're part of those bloodsuckers?"

"Hey, don't talk about my family that way." I warned. "You don't know them like I do."

"What are you doing on the Res. if you live with the Cullens?" He asked, "None of them can cross treaty lines."

"I didn't know there was a treaty," I lied.

"They didn't tell you?"

"No."

"Well, now you know." Jacob replied.

"Yeah, sure," I said, turning to walk away.

"When uh…when did you join them?" He asked.

"A few days ago." I said, "August 13th."

"See you around." He said, turning to walk back to his friends.

"Wait…see you around? You mean even though I'm a bloodsucker, you still want to see me?" I asked, sounding slightly bitter.

"Sure," He shrugged, "It's not every day we see somebody new around here." I laughed under my breath and nodded once.

"Okay, see you later then."

"So, you've been here for ten days?" Jacob asked, walking next to me.

"Yeah, it doesn't really feel like it, though." I replied. "Shouldn't you be the kind of people that run away from someone like me?"

"I'm not afraid of vampires. You're lucky I didn't kill you on the spot a few days ago."

"Kill me?" I asked, "a human…kill a vampire? That's funny." I smirked.

"I didn't say I was human." Jacob said.

"Okay, then what are you?"

"The fairytales and horror stories are true." Jacob said suddenly. He smirked to himself before continuing, "I've killed your kind easily."

"Well, I want to know what you are."

"My smell's not giving it away?" He laughed.

"No, you reek, Jacob." I said, biting my lip, "you smell like a filthy, wet dog."

"And what kind of dog do you think I am?"

"Oh please don't say you're a—," He nodded.

"A werewolf?" He smirked, "Totally, babe. Much better than your kind, and we don't smell like we're rotting."

"That's an exaggeration from fairytales." I retorted.

"No that's an examination from a dog's keen sense of smell."

"Well then your nose must be off," I said.

"A dog's nose never lies."

"Well neither does a vampire's." He smirked again before replying.

"Touché."

A/N: I'll write more tomorrow. I slept on my neck the wrong way and it's been affecting the whole right side of my body. Hopefully while I get some more rest I'll fix this little issue and get back to writing you more! And for all you Jacob-lovers, I couldn't forget the werewolf! It's not Twilight without Jacob Black! (I'm for both team Edward and team Jacob…I don't really see the point in choosing…let's face it, they're both very fine looking men and it's just too hard to choose sometimes).
