AN: Here's the dream Jacob has. Enjoy!

Dreams pt 2

I knew that there was a possibility that Bella would continue to have nightmares so when she asked me to stay with her I couldn't refuse. I let Sam know what was going on and then headed over to her house. After climbing up and through her window I slipped into bed with her. I heard her mumbled good night and kissed the top of her head whispering my own I love you. She snuggled into me and I smiled before closing my eyes and succumbing to sleep. I've had dreams before but none like this.

I was walking down the beach toward the distant cliffs. I wasn't going cliff diving or swimming I was just walking. I didn't know where I was going only that I wanted to walk. As I walked I started thinking about everything that had happened in the last few weeks. So much had been going on and I felt like I hadn't been able to breathe let alone think about things. My life was changing drastically and sometimes it felt as though I was running after it desperately trying to catch up and reclaim it.

I realized that I had walked along the beach to the log that Bella and I had designated our log. We called it that because whenever we needed to talk about something, when we were younger and even more recently, we came and sat here. We'd talked about so many things here and it was like I knew that this was the perfect spot to come and think. I sat down and looked out over the ocean. In some ways it reminded me of myself strong, powerful, untamable and dangerous. I didn't like the idea that the last two words fit me but since my transformation they applied.

Except for when I was with Bella. I knew that I was still dangerous and that if my control slipped even for a second it could be fatal. This made me dangerous to be around yet a part of me knew that I would never do anything to hurt her. I knew from Sam's thoughts that he too had felt that at one time and that made what he did to Emily so much harder. This was different though, I wasn't sure how just that it was. I closed my eyes and listened to the roaring sound of the ocean. The rushing as it approached the shore, the crashing as it hit the rocks at the base of the cliffs, and the lapping as it reached up the shore before retreating again. All of this was soothing to me having grown up near the coastline.

When I was little my mom used to bring me to the ocean almost every day. We'd walk along the shore collecting shells and rocks or go swimming for hours on end. She'd chase me thorough the water and on quite a few occasions we had gotten into water fights, splashing each other and running around. I missed those times we spent together and I missed her so much. We had been so close and done so much together that losing her in the accident had been hard. I was glad that the drunk driver who hit my parents would be spending the rest of his life in jail.

I had been forced to grow up quickly after that crash because not only did I lose my mom but my dad had been paralyzed. I was mourning her death and taking care of my dad at the same time. If I could I would go back and change things. I don't mind taking care of my dad but having my mom around while I grew up would have been nice. I just sat there for a bit longer thinking back on my childhood and remembering all of the good times I had with my family.

I don't know how long I had been sitting there thinking about things before I realized the weather was changing. I don't get cold easily due to my heightened body temperature but I could feel a definite difference in the temperature. It was a bit colder and the air felt damp, not ocean spray damp but rain damp. I decided it was probably time to start heading home so I opened my eyes only to be met by darkness. I had a moment of panic before I realized that it was night time. My night vision kicked in, a perk of being part wolf, and I headed for home.

As I approached my house I realized that something was off. This was my house but at the same time it wasn't, there were things about it that were different. The first thing I noticed was the boat we kept behind the house for fishing trips was missing. That wasn't the only thing that was missing though the whole garage was gone as was the truck from the front drive. The house was dark and everything was quiet. My first thought was that Charlie and my dad had gone fishing for the day but that didn't explain the disappearance of the garage. It also didn't explain why my dad wasn't back at the house. He made it a habit in fall and winter to be home before dark and if he wasn't going to be he left a note.

I didn't know what to do at the moment, I wanted to go into the house and see if my dad was ok. I also wanted to run because it was too different and didn't feel at all like my house anymore. I was getting ready to turn and head to Sam's house to talk to him when I heard voices coming from the back yard. I cautiously made my way toward the backyard and as I got closer to back of the house I could see the glow of a bonfire. I still didn't understand what was going on but something inside me was pulling me toward the fire.

I made my way around the back of the house and headed toward the bonfire. I saw three figures sitting around it one of whom had long black hair. I ran toward the fire calling out to my dad but he didn't respond. I made my way over and as soon as I got close enough to touch my dad's shoulder he turned to me. I couldn't contain my gasp of surprise; it wasn't my dad looking back at me but Ephriam Black, my grandfather. I was so confused at this point, my grandfather was dead had been for a long time. So how was he here?

"Jacob we've been expecting you please sit down. We have much to discuss and much to explain."

I sat down where he had indicated to his left facing him and the two others with him.

"Where am I and what's going on here?"

"The where is unimportant right now. We're here to talk to you about things that you need to know. First off we are wondering why you haven't claimed your position as Alpha of the pack."

"I'm sixteen, I didn't want to be a member of the pack and I'm not old enough or ready to be its leader. "

"Age has nothing to do with the ability to lead the pack. I was sixteen as well when I took over my pack. You are the true alpha and the pack needs you to take your position as such. Sam is a good leader and has become a great alpha. He is not as powerful or as good as you are though. Your ability to phase comes to you so naturally because you are the true alpha. You need to be able to phase quickly so that you can protect the pack. While a good leader Sam is not who the pack needs leading them right now. There is a threat quickly approaching the pack that is greater than anything we have ever seen. The only way the wolves will survive is if you take your rightful position. Your time has not yet come but when it does you will know and you will need to take over if you want the pack and everyone you love to survive.

Also Bella has gifts that she isn't aware of yet. They will begin manifesting themselves soon and she will need the help of the entire pack to learn how to use them. Make sure that she tries to establish friendships with all of the pack members. For when the time comes they will need her and their friendship with her will help the entire pack. I can't tell you much more right now but I will come to you with more information as you need it. Just remember that no matter what happens you can do more with Bella by your side than alone. Trust her and love her with everything you have."

"I'm not ready to take over the pack but I will think on what you've told me. I will also help Bella in any way I can."

"That is all we ask. Sleep now my child."

I felt myself slip into a deeper state of sleep and felt peace flow through me. I couldn't get my grandfather's words out of my head. I knew that the pack would benefit from me taking my place as alpha but I wasn't ready for that responsibility yet. I would have to talk to Sam about it later, but I knew that as long as Bella was willing to help me I could do anything.
