Beep, beep, beep!!! My phone started ringing. It was Edward.
"Hello? Edward? What's wrong? Is everything okay?" I questioned him, nervously.
"Bella, William just changed course. He found out that your not in the car with us. He's trying to find out how to get to our house again. That's the first place that he's going to check." Edward replied in terror.
"Do you know how long he will be?" I asked, worried.
"I'm not sure. It's like he has a shield around his thoughts. Oh and that's not the worst part. He isn't alone. Alice saw him with about 1 or 2 other vampires. She couldn't see anything else, because it all disappeared. I'm not sure why."
Then, I looked behind me. Jacob was standing there. I smiled at him nervously. Suddenly, I knew the reason why Alice couldn't see anything else.
"Oh my gosh! Edward, I have your answer! Jake is here!" I announced to him.
"Okay that explains it. Put him on. I should talk to him." He said quickly.
"Jacob, Edward wants to talk to you." I told Jacob. This should be interesting.
"What's up blood sucker?" Jake said, calmly.
"Hey dog, we're in big trouble again… One of my old… friends… stopped in. He got a whiff of Bella, now he's after her. Can you help?" Edward asked Jake, hoping that he would say yes.
"Wow, that seams to happen a lot doesn't it? You should just lock her up if this is going to happen…"
"I will do no such thing Jacob!" Edward seemed really upset.
"Okay, okay! Sheesh! I was kidding. Of course I'll help. Bella is my best friend, remember?"
"Yes, how could I forget. Good. We need all the help we can get." There was some sarcasm there I think, but I couldn't tell.
"How many Vamps are we talking here? Nine, fifteen… Twenty?" Jacob was serious sounding now.
"Only two or three. BUT they are very strong, smart, and fast."
"So just like you except one thing?" Jacob was definitely using sarcasm there.
"This is no time for jokes dog." Edward said harshly.
"Okay sorry. What exactly to you want me to do?" Jake asked politely.
"I'm not sure yet. We'll keep you posted. If you smell an unfamiliar vampire, howl. We'll get the message."
"Can do. Talk to you later leech," Jacob said.
"Okay bye. Just do all you can to make sure Bella is safe," Edward demanded. But, Jake didn't hear, he hung up before Edward could say that. I knew Jacob would anyway.
"So Bells, how does it feel to be under attack all the time?" Jake asked.
"Eh, not what I had in mind, but its fine as long as I know I'm in the right hands. And I know I am now." I said confidently.
"Ah, don't say that. You never know what will happen." Jake replied.
I do know what will happen. William will find my scent, and will start fallowing me. Edward will try to stop him, and Jake will try to keep me away from William. No big surprise there.
I open my mouth, and think for a second. Then say "Jacob…" and then I totally forgot what I was going to say to him. Since when do I forget things so easily?
"Ya Bells?" Jacob replied. Looking at me, wondering what I have to say.
"Um… well… what is the plan anyway? I think I should know. Since William is the bullet and I am the target. Hopefully a target that wont be hit." I say, metaphorically speaking.
"And that makes me the bullet proof vest doesn't it?" Jake jokingly says.
We laugh, and look at each other. I can't help but think that this part of my life will change dramatically.
