Alice seemed to be struggling, so I pulled myself away from her gently, stepping back to look at my 'new sister'. She wouldn't meet my gaze and I knew why, her eyes were scarlet coloured, like blood, she didn't like it herself and she knew it would just upset me. Edward was stood besides her, frowning at me openly, I didn't like that one bit. Jasper was beside me, an arm wound around waist, protecting me from my own sister and best friend, it didn't seem right.
I didn't want the details of what happened when they were turned, my stomach was churning just knowing that it had in fact happened full stop. Alice didn't speak a word to me, just turned and walked to the couch, sitting herself down. Edward's gaze softened as hurt crossed my face and I looked at the floor. I felt two fingers lift my chin up and I was looking into Edward's blood red eyes, he was struggling to keep control, but managing it. "She's still Alice and you're still Bella," He whispered, with a small smile. "You're still my best friend and you're still her sister." He added, making me give him a watery smile and hug him gently, before pulling away from him so it wasn't too much.
Jasper tugged me away, out of the door, nodding his thanks to Edward. The sun shone down from the sky and I glanced at Jasper, gasping when is skin began to glitter like diamonds. I had seen it before and yet it still shocked me into silence. He glanced at me with a small smile, grabbing my arm and pulling me onto his back. I struggled, but he held me on and began to run. I lost my voice; he was running so fast, instead I buried my face against his shoulder blade. Before I knew it we had stopped running at all.
Helping me from hi s back, Jasper turned to me, his head on one side. I stumbled a little, unsteady on my feet, he caught me and held me close. "Bella, I love you so much," He whispered close to my ear, his mouth grazing my ear, I shivered a little. He pressed his lips to my neck for a moment, before pulling away with a small smile. "So much more controlled," He whispered, tucking my hair behind my ear as I looked at him.
"I missed you," I breathed, resting my head against his chest, he wrapped his arms fully around me and we stood like that for a long time. All the past years were playing on both of our minds, I could tell. The heartbreak of him leaving me twice, the first time because he had to, the second because he needed to. "When we were younger, it should have been like this, right?" I pulled myself away and looked up at him, my eyes wide.
"It should have been like this a long time ago, it almost was," Jasper whispered, cupping my head in his hand with a small smile. "I'm sorry that it wasn't and I wasn't there for you, I should have been." His hands were on my waist now, his eyes locked onto mine the whole time. Jasper suddenly froze, turning around and looking surprised, my breath caught in my throat as a familiar voice reached my ears.
"Hello again Bella," It growled as a shadow stepped towards us, revealing the vampire who I had previously met. "It's nice to see that you're alive, actually no it isn't, I think I might have to finish the job." Jasper stepped fully in front of me, a growl escaping his throat and his chest. I glanced at him, my own heart was beating extra fast, but I knew that Jasper would never let him hurt me. "I wouldn't do that if I were you Jasper," The vampire smirked as his eyes fell behind me.
Turning, I saw three more shadows walk out of the shadows, we were completely surrounded. Jasper circled me, but there was nothing he could do this time, after all he was outnumbered four to one. I was shaking by this point, I had escaped this guy once, but could I do it a second time? At that moment of time I didn't think I was going to be able to do it again.
I watched in horror as two of the three vampires grabbed Jasper and held him tightly, his eyes found me, they were huge, worried, frightened. Great, that was all I needed, seeing Jasper that way when I felt like jelly myself. There was no way out of this one; there was nothing we could do. The vampire advanced to me, his eyes narrowed, as he grabbed my wrist.
Suddenly a hair rising growl sounded from nearby, I stopped my heart almost failing. My first thought was more vampires, but I realised too late that vampires didn't make a noise like that. All of the vampires froze, including the struggling Jasper, and then turned to the sound of the noise. I turned as well, dreading what was going to leap from the bushes at any moment.
Out of nowhere, a massive russet…well actually I have no idea what it was. It looked like a dog or wolf, but no way did they get that big, so I was thinking bear. It came from nowhere, running towards us, its teeth bared, snarling angrily. It was then followed by two more, a pure black one and a sandy coloured one. I closed my eyes, waiting for them to attack, but nothing ever came. I felt two cold hands grab my wrists and pull me out of the way.
Opening my eyes I found Jasper stood protectively in front of me, his eyes on what was happening in front of us. The bear things were chasing away the vampires, who were actually frightened of them, well there were seven now. A chocolate brown one, a grey one with black spots, a dark grey one and a smaller light grey one. "What are they?" I asked Jasper in a whisper.
His eyes flickered to me briefly, before looking back to the events that were nearly over now. "Werewolves," He breathed, shaking his head a little. I felt my mouth fall open, as I stared at him in disbelief. Was I supposed to believe this or what? So first there were vampires and now this? Werewolves as well? Oh perfect….
"You can't be serious?" I whispered watching as the group reformed. Now I looked at them, they did look like massive wolves, not bears. How could I have thought they were bears? They looked nothing like bears at all, they were wolves for sure. The first wolf on the scene, turned to us, there was something in his eyes that I recognised, something that I knew, or had known.
He stared at me for a moment, before turning and disappearing into the bushes. I wanted to call after him, ask him who he was, what was going on. Before I knew what was happening, Jasper had me on my feet, putting an arm around my waist, as a tall boy strode out from the bushes, wearing a pair of cut off jeans. My heart stopped as I pulled away from Jasper, my eyes widening, then a smile spreading across my face.
"Jacob Black!" I exclaimed, running forwards as he opened his arms and grabbed me into a sudden hug. I pulled away though, as soon as I felt his extremely warm body against my cold one. "Bloody hell….You're a werewolf?!"
….
Ok, sorry for the lateness of this chapter, I've had a lot on. I may not be updating very often anymore, as I have so much work to do. We're going to pretend that Bella already knew Jacob from when they were children and she remembers him. =]
