Chapter 10: Won the Battle, Not the War

I was sitting in the kitchen trying to down my breakfast before Jacob would come to pick me up. We kept Charlie busy for the rest of the day so he wouldn't catch onto what was happening. Even though he knew the truth, we didn't want him to freak out.

A few minutes had passed by before Jacob was knocking on my front door. I went to go open it. Jacob was standing there with his hands in his jean shorts pockets and a black t-shirt. He smiled at little at me and I returned it.

"Hey Bells," he said gave me a quick peck. Charlie came to the door.

"Oh hi there Jacob," he greeted him and shook his hand.

"Hey Charlie, I'm here to take Bella out for the day. Hope you don't mind." Charlie chuckled and shook his head.

"Of course not as long as you don't take her bike riding or cliff diving or anything that has to do with vampires, it's all good."

I blushed at his comment and Jake just laughed along with him.

"You have nothing to worry about any of that. We should go Bells," he said looking down at me. I nodded and walked out the door after Jake and I said goodbye to Charlie. We got in his rabbit and drove off towards La Push.

The ride was quiet. Neither of us said anything to each other. I was messing with my hands in my lap when one of his hand grabbed both of mine stopping my actions.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked looking between me and the road.

"Just scared and nervous about today," I stated looking back at him. He nodded.

"Yeah me too, mostly scared."

"Promise me you'll be safe Jake."

"Bells you know I can't promise you that. But I do promise that all this will end soon. We all know that we can't win this battle without a few bumps and bruises."

I only nodded and kept quiet as he removed his warm hand from mine and went back to driving back down the road. After a few more minutes of silence, he turned back to me.

"The plan today is to have all of you girls to hang out in Port Angeles and try to forget what's happening at the moment. I know that's hard but you have to try Bells. Seth will be there to do anything for you girls. He will stand guard. The girls' scent and Seth's will block off any trace of yours."

I once again only nodded. We pulled up to Sam and Emily's place. Everyone was standing outside waiting for us. We stepped out and joined them.

Silence fell over us and no one spoke for a long time.

Someone's phone rang and that broke the silence between us. Sam took out his phone and read the text message.

"Alice says they're close and that we should start moving. Justin, Matthew, Adam, Taylor, Carter, Lloyd, and Nathan will attack when we're in trouble and I give the signal. All of you must keep a 10 mile distance from the fight so they don't sense you. Now go," Sam ordered and all 7 of them ran off into the woods phasing.

We all watched them and then Sam returned to the rest of us.

"Brady and Collin will attack from the east, Jared and Leah will attack from the west while Jake, Quil, Embry will attack from the north and Paul and I will face them face to face with the Cullens." He then turned to me.

"Bella, Kim, Claire, Emily, and Seth should all leave now."

The guys said goodbye to their girls as Emily and everybody else got in truck waiting for me. I looked up at Jake. He smiled down at me.

I wrapped my arms around his waist holding onto him for dear life. He kissed my head.

"We'll be okay Bells. We'll keep in contact with Seth. I love you Bells."

"I love you too. Good luck," I said and he kissed me. My lips lingered on his a little before we departed and I got into the truck. We drove off as the rest of the pack watched us drive away. This was not going to be a fun day.

Jacob's POV

We all dispersed and got in position for this fight. I could feel the fear in Bella. I would do anything to take that away from her. That was my plan in fighting this coven of vampires. Within a few minutes the special bloodsuckers appear.

"Alright everyone in position, remember to look out for each other," Sam said through our wolf telepathy. We all grunted in agreement.

"Alright game time boys!" Quil said and the fight began.

AN: Sorry for short chapter, review, I'm back to school now so I probably won't be able to update anytime soon.
