Realization hit me so hard that I could feel my self falling. Jacob was a werewolf and was an enemy of Edward? I tried to stay calm, taking small even breaths. My hands were trembling. I shook my head furiously, trying to get rid of this nightmare. My family friend and the incredible boy who had saved my life so many times loathed each other and I was in the midst of all of this.

How was this even possible? Could mythical creatures actually exist? Were there any other ones besides the vampires and the werewolves?

I wanted to scream and run. Why couldn't I comprehend the fact that Jacob was a werewolf since I had accepted Edward as a vampire? I was calm just a few minutes before but now I was going in to a panic.

Realization hit me again. I accepted Edward for what he was because I had expected him to be beyond the extraordinaire. I would have felt surprised if he wasn't some thing because he obviously was and I knew this as soon as he had saved me the first time. It was easy to comprehend with Edward but difficult with Jacob. He had been my friend ever since we were little. I had never expected him to be any thing but a friend but now it was different. I had visualized Jacob differently than what I was seeing now. It was hard for me to comprehend because I was too stubborn to accept the fact that Jacob could be some thing.

Why was I even feeling afraid? I hadn't known them for very long. It was just the fact that I was a mere human who knew their secrets. I would have to let it go and pretend that none of this had ever happened.

"Bella?" Edward asked as he broke me out of my reverie. "Are you all right?"

I decided to go with the truth. "No."

He laughed quietly beside me. "I'm surprised. You're taking this news extremely well."

"No, I'm not. How could this be? I've known Jacob for so long. I didn't expect it to be like this."

I could feel my chest about to explode. First, I was hiding in a forest while the battle was raging and I knew two very dangerous creatures who wanted to destroy each other.

"A lot of the things we expect never happen. Fate enjoys playing tricks with us. Bella, I don't think you have to worry about any thing at the moment. Just please don't let any one know about our secrets."

I nodded helplessly. "How did you find out about Jacob any way?"

He looked away in to the trees as he tried to decide whether to tell me. "I don't prefer talking about it. It was an incident that made me feel very weak."

I didn't want him to tell me some thing that made him feel uncomfortable. "You don't have to tell me."

He turned back to me with troubled eyes. His expression was pained and so beautiful that I had the urge to wipe it away. His golden eyes scattered my thoughts again but I felt glad that I didn't need to speak since he was intending to reply to me.

"It was a few weeks ago. Jacob is a new born werewolf and he has difficulty controlling his temper when some thing angers him. That's how all new born werewolves are. I was hunting in the forest with my family when he attacked me. I hadn't hunted for two weeks so my thirst was not satiated. I couldn't fight him so Emmett was had to pull him off of me."

I could tell that he didn't want to say any more on the subject. We stared at each other for an immeasurable moment before he suddenly continued. "I wanted to go fight him after hunting but Carlisle's face stopped me. Jacob was still in a way a human. So I didn't do it because I didn't want my father figure to lose his faith in me and for ethical reasons."

I felt awe for this fantastic creature sitting next to me while I loathed Jacob for a tiny moment. It wasn't his fault that he had trouble controlling his temper. He was like all new born werewolves.

I yawned involuntarily and Edward flashed a smile. "I think it's time for you to sleep but finish eating first."

I realized that I was starving but didn't eat any thing since I had forgotten my hunger. It felt great to talk to Edward.

He watched me with a disgusted expression as I pulled the fins, tail, and the head off. I was glad that I could cook and was used to eating fish or else I would have lost my appetite.

"How could you eat that?" he asked as he pinched the bridge of his nose as if he smelled some thing bad.

"What? Don't you remember eating food in your human life?"

"Vaguely. Human food is so repulsive."

I laughed at him. "And drinking blood isn't?"

He gave me a teasing outraged expression. "I didn't expect that from you Bella."

"I can be funny from time to time."

"It wasn't funny." He was still giving me a joking glare.

I smiled widely at his expression. "It was and you know it."

As I ate, he asked me about my life with Renée. I was missing her very much and wondered if Charlie had told her about the crisis we were in. She was my best friend.

"You must love your mother very much," he concluded.

"I do."

I pulled my self up from the log and looked at the mess that were my hands. "Do you know any place where I can wash my hands?"

He grabbed my water bottle that I had bought in the cafeteria at school and then went to the back of the car and opened up the trunk. Before he did any thing else, he handed me back my bottle to drink from it. I was surprised to see how thirsty I was. I handed it back to him as he pulled out a purple long sleeved collared shirt, a white sweater, and a pair of jeans.

"You need to change. Alice gave me a list of things to buy when I was out of town. The majority of them are clothes and she gave me permission to let you wear them. There is a portable rest room near the well where you can wash your hands."

What would a portable restroom be doing here in the middle of a forest?

Edward smiled as if he could read my mind. "Since there is a grave yard near by, people come to put there beloved ones to rest here and some times they're out here for so long that they might have the need to use a restroom."

I nodded as he slammed the trunk shut quietly. Then, I followed him deeper in to the forest. The trees looked as if they were hands waiting to grab us. I didn't feel afraid. I knew I would feel protected and fine during this situation if Edward was there for me. We walked silently side by side. I could see the well. It was made out of gray stones and was destroyed in several places.

Edward reeled up the bucket for me. I was surprised that the water hadn't frozen in to ice. He poured out the water slowly on to my hands as I rinsed them. I was also shocked that the water wasn't colder than Edward's hands.

He handed me the clothes and I locked my self in to the bath room. After I was finished, I walked out and saw Edward leaning against a tree staring at me. "You look very nice."

I blushed heavily and thought I heard a low chuckle. He held up the bottle for me. "I filled it up for you."

"Thanks," I muttered as I took the bottle.

We walked back silently as we had come. He stood very close to me. He was looking down with a slight frown on his face and his hands were in the front pocket of his pants. I kept on nervously thinking what he would be doing while I was asleep. I didn't want him to watch me since I would feel too self conscious. Also, I had a tendency to talk while I was asleep and I had no intention of letting Edward hear what I would be saying.

He put my clothes in to a plastic bag but handed me my jacket. "Wear this."

Then, he started to shrug out of his leather jacket. I watched him and never realized what he had been wearing. It was different from what he had worn this morning. I looked at him and noticed that he had a perfect musculature.

I ogled at him as he opened the door to the back seat of the Mercedes. I got in and sat down. Edward leaned toward me and tucked his jacket all around me. I could feel my heart beating erratically. The look on his face confirmed that he could hear it. I hadn't expected him to get so close. He made sure that I was tucked in completely and comfortably. He pulled away and gave me his beautiful crooked smile.

"Good night," he whispered in to my face. "Sleep well."

His cool breath blew in to my face and a scent so luxurious came off of him. It was better than any perfume and so sweet that my head started to spin. He closed the door softly and sat against a tree. He leaned his head back and closed his eyes, lost in thought.

His jacket was cold and his fantastic scent lingered on it.

I closed my eyes and instantly fell asleep.

I opened my eyes and looked around were I was. I knew some where in my mind that I was dreaming. I looked around me and recognized the forest. Near by, I could hear a soft ripping sound. It sounded like a growl in a way. I followed the sound as if it was trying to lure me in. I walked deeper in to the forest where the trees were getting very heavy. It was so dark that I thought I was blinded but the sound lured me in. I walked for so long that my knees were feeling weak. I stumbled and tripped my way in. I fell several times and was covered in mud. I thought about how I would get back out and when I would have to stop walking. Suddenly, the ripping sound became louder and I could see a faint light from the breaking in the trees.

As I approached the light, I found my self in a big green field that was hilly. It was still night time and the stars were glistening in the sky. What I saw in front of me made my insides twist. Edward was standing with his fists clenched and his arms in front of his face. His legs were spread and he looked furious. He was positioning him self to fight. I turned my head and saw the person he was about to fight. Jacob was standing several feet away from him and was crouched, ready to pounce at Edward. He was shaking badly and I could feel my self going towards them. I wanted them to stop what they were about to do.

Before I could get any closer, I felt some one tugging on my arm. I looked around to see Jessica. She looked terrified. "Bella, you have to leave. It's not safe here."

"I can't," I whispered. I turned to look back at Edward and Jacob and ignored the tugging.

Suddenly Jacob's shaking figure exploded and became a huge brown wolf. I had a lump in my throat but I didn't feel very scared for some reason. He lunged at Edward and they started to fight. As I watched, I could clearly tell that Jacob was becoming weak.

Jessica pulled harder. "Bella, listen to me. You have to move. It's dangerous here."

I turned around but some thing else was pulling on my arm now. I turned around and saw Edward looking at me with a strange glint in his eyes. They were no longer gold. They were coal black and he looked dangerous. A few feet from him was an unconscious Jacob.

Edward smiled at me and I noticed that four of his teeth were sharp and pointed. They were fangs. He griped my arm harder and it was painful. I could see my hand turning red.

"Stay," he commanded. His voice was quiet and like velvet but had a small snarl to it.

From behind, I saw Jacob pounce on him. He fell and his nails scratched against my arm. I could feel the nausea coming as the blood spread over my arm.

Edward looked at me with a wicked glint in his eyes.
