Ok I know I said no updates for a week well… I can't help myself. Plus this Spanish revision is driving me crazyyyyy. So here is the next chapter. In case some of you didn't notice, I changed the rating to T because I have a little bit of a feeling that the Jacob and Edward conflict will get a tad uglier and we don't want little nine year olds picking up bad language. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW: D…and thanks to those who did, you're amazing Enjoy…x

Chapter 10 Civilized Discussions

EPOV

I was taking my Angel back. She was exhausted, barely able to keep her eyes open. She resisted me when I was about to lift her. She obviously had a lot of dignity and independence, which I admired. As we reached the entrance of the house I heard him. No actually, I smelt him first, and then heard him.

If he hurt Bella or even touched Bella I will personally make sure he burns. She is attracted to him, I noticed. This is all going to end for her in heartbreak.

I wanted to laugh. Me, break her heart? Never. It's not like he didn't do it. The hypocritical Pup.

Ugh gross, I can smell him. And Bella. My best friend Bella. He had her and there is nothing I could do to save her. Actually, seeing as she now probably knows the truth she'll probably want to stay as far from him as possible. Maybe if you get her out she'll be yours. Beautiful Bella, mine.

I stopped abruptly. She will never be his, never. Then he came into sight, taking in Bella and my arm wrapped around her tighter. Why is she letting his touch her like that. Surely, he told her.

I growled in consent. He would know what I meant. Unfortunately, I startled Bella. She looked from me to Jacob in alarm.

"Move Dog, Bella needs to sleep." I said, Jacob's vast body totally blocked the corridor. There is no way I could get past with Bella. Just then I realized Bella had gone very…pink. The colour was beautiful and I resisted the urge to stroke her cheek. Was she embarrassed about being with me.

"What did you do to her, Leech?" He growled, his even disgusting Dog breath blowing into me. (A/N: Ok Jacob does not have bad breath, just to Vampires, obviously) Then I realized Bella was wearing my shirt. Oh, that was why she was pink.

Just then I heard, no saw, Jacob's mental images of what he thought I was doing to her. It was nauseating. As if I would ever do such things to Bella without her consent. Or ever, for that matter, it was far too risky. (A/N: He means sex you guys)

"Get out hell out of my way or I will fucking make you." I was in no frame of mind for all this crap. Bella looked at me in awe. Oh shit, I realized I'd never actually said something with this much…malice, in front of her before. Then she looked directly at the Mongrel.

"Jake, get out of the way. I am absolutely exhausted and the last thing I need is this. Piss off." It is a good thing Vampires and Werewolves have good hearing or Bella's words might have been unintelligible.

"Bella, why are you wearing his top?" Stupid, stupid, stupid Dog.

"Leave her alone, Black, it not what you think." Who are you trying to kid bloodsucker? Yeah I know you can hear me. For God's sake, what did you do to her? I decided to let Bella take over, the question was meant for her and not me.

Bella, DAMN IT, TELL ME WHY ARE YOU WEARING HIS STENCHING CLOTHES?" My Angel cringed away from him, holding me tighter. Then she burst out hysterically laughing. It was a beautiful sound but right now I was more concerned with why she was laughing.

"Jake, you're such a prat sometimes. Nothing happened. We went outside and it was cold so Edward gave me his shirt." She pulled up my shirt and showed her dress to Jacob and carried on laughing. I was immediately even more disturbed and alarmed. Jacob was too because his mind went blank and he was staring at her as if he couldn't even comprehend her laughing at something that wasn't funny. It dawned on me that she was rambling because of her drowsiness.

"Oh." That was all Jake said. You and me, Leech. We need to talk NOW.

"Yes I know Mongrel. We will talk later. It is neither the time, place," and my eyes flickered towards Bella, she was in no way to get involved in this, she was too fragile, too delicate, and too perfect. "Or company for that matter." Jacob stepped aside and glared at me. I blocked out his ramble of insults that came tumbling towards me and turned to Bella.

"Come on love, your delirious." I took her at inhuman speed to her room and placed her down on the bed, before kissing her forehead. She was a Goddess in human form. I certainly didn't deserve her.

I smelt him out after I had left, he was waiting for me, in my office, sitting in the corner, as if he was too disgusted anything that was in my possession. After reading his mind I knew I was right.

"So you told her everything then." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"Yes I did," I replied calmly. Liar, he thought.

"I beg your pardon, Dog?"

"If you told her everything then why would she still be here? Surely she would be scared shitless of you." If I had any blood, it would be boiling right now.

"Why would she be scared shitless of me?" I emphasized. Jacob's response was one that I was expecting. Because you're a blood-sucking crazed vamp.

"That maybe so, Jacob, but im not the stupid half-breed morphing Werewolf here, am I?" Jacob winced at my venomous words (no pun intended).

"Stop being so bloody proud Vamp. Tell me exactly what you told Bella."

"I don't owe any explanation, especially to you," I said, advancing towards him. He stood up, a fair bit taller than me, but I was stronger. However I had to be careful otherwise I would be facing the trail of the Volturi.

"You do. She's my best friend-" I cut him off here.

"Was your best friend. But you hurt her."

"She has forgiven me," he hissed and I saw he was remembering the hug and comfort he had given her earlier.

"Well, obviously by her dismissive tone earlier, I think not. Oh, by the way. Would you like to tell me why you left her all those years back."

He looked shocked at this. She told him? Why would she- CRAP she loves him. At this, he remembered me holding here when we came back in. He remembered me calling her love. I almost felt his heart break, but instead of guilt I felt pity and satisfaction. He was looking at the floor when he gave his answer.

"Because that was the time I changed into a Werewolf. It was too dangerous for me to be around anyone. Billy, my dad, and I moved away to La Push, where he originally came from and I lived there from then on. And its, your fault I changed into a werewolf. Your whole family turned and up and the legends began to repeat themselves." Jacob spat. Great now I would have to sanitize the room.

"Jacob, this isn't about you. It's about Bella. She can stay here, with me, if she wants. Or she can leave. I am not holding her prisoner so you have absolutely no right to make Bella's choices for her. ."

"ARE YOU NOT GETTING THIS BLOODSUCKER? SHE HAS A FAMILY. HER DAD WILL BE KILLING HIMSELF WITH WORRY AT THE MOMENT. SHES BLINDED BY YOU SO SHE WON'T SEE IT." He yelled at me. We were practically nose to nose now. God he smelled.

"JACOB YOU KNOW HOW OUR PROTOCOL WORKS. WE TAKE THE CONVICTS AND WE LEAVE BEHIND BELIEVABLE STORIES TO MASK THEIR DISSAPPEARANCE. AS STUPID AS NEWTON IS, HE PROBABLY COVERED BELLA'S DISSAPPEARENCE."

"FOR GOD'S SAKE I WAS THE ONE THAT MADE UP HALF THAT BLOODY PROTOCOL. YOU DON'T NEED TO FLIPPING REMIND ME OF IT. NOW LET ME REMIND YOU OF ANOTHER PART OUR PROTOCOL. WHILE ACTING TO MASK THEIR DISSAPPEARENCE, WE PROCLAIM THEM DEAD. HER DAD PROABLY THINKS SHE IS LYING IN SOME GUTTER SOMEWHERE."

"BLACK, SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO YOURSELF. NO ACTUALLY, LISTEN TO ME. I AM IN LOVE WITH ISABELLA SWAN AND I PROMISE YOU THAT I WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE HER HAPPY AND MAKE HER FAMILY HAPPY. I WILL SORT THIS MESS OUT ON MY OWN. BY MY OWN ACCORD. I DON'T NEED YOU FLIPPING BREATHING DOWN MY BACK LIKE A DRAGON. YOU WORK FOR ME, SO YOU WILL OBEY ME."

"I DON'T WORK FOR YOU LEECH. I WORK WITH YOU. NOW I AM FUCKING REGRETTING IT AFTER AGREEING WITH SAM. IF YOU REALLY LOVED HER, YOU WOULD LET HER GO. LET HER FORGET YOU. LET HER LIVE A NORMAL LIFE WITHOUT FRIGGING VAMPS ON HER BACK."

"AS IF WEREWOLVES ARE ANY BETTER, MONGREL."

"AT LEAST I WON'T KILL HER-" I grabbed the scruff of his neck and pushed him up against the wall in one easy arm movement.

"Take that back," I hissed in a deadly voice. I would never ever touch Bella. I would die before I killed her.

"Make me," Jacob smirked. He had got to me and he knew it, and was flipping proud of himself by the thoughts that were coming out of his head. I couldn't help it. My mouth opened, revealing my row of pointed venomous teeth.

"Hmmmm, Black, if my venom turns humans into vampires, I wonder what it would turn Puppies into." I was thoroughly enjoying this. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck. My smile became even more pronounced at his thoughts.

I was leaning in threateningly as Jacob tried to struggle.

"The Volturi would never let you get away with this, we had an accord, which you are about to break."

I didn't have any intention of even touching Jacob with my teeth. Mostly because of the Volturi, but also because the taste would be indescribably repulsive.

I let go, stepping back and inhaling to calm myself. I had been holding my breath in an effort to prevent the Dog's stench from reaching me. Then I smelt it. The most amazing scent. It was hers. Bella's. My eyes quickly flashed towards the door and Jacob's did the same. There she stood.

Her eyes were wide, framed by her thick long lashes. Her mouth was slightly apart and her hair was messed up from sleeping. She looked stunning. Words couldn't even describe the love and adoration I felt for her…

But, why was her heart racing one hundred miles per hour. Why was her breathing erratic? Why was she looking at me as if I was a …monster?

Shit, how much had she heard. And why in Christ's name did I not hear her coming. If I could hear her thoughts at all. Damn, had Jacob distracted me so much that I didn't even hear her feet. I was a flipping Vampire, for Christ's sake.

I could hear Jacob, though. Oh my God. How much did she hear? Shit, I could hear people from miles away. Stupid vampire distracting me. The feeling's mutual, I wanted to hiss at him.

She was frozen at the door, her hands balled up into tiny fists. I smoothly walked towards her, trying to flaunt this out. My hand reached hers and I lifted them up to my lips and kissed them softly. She stared at me in shock and disbelief. Damn, I wish I could hear her.

"Bella, sweetheart, you awoke? Do you want to go back to bed? You didn't sleep for long." No way, she won't buy his bluff. Stupid vampire. I gritted my teeth, fighting the urge to kick him.

I looked back at Bella. She was trembling with fright. I touched her cheek.

"Bella, love, what's wrong?"

"I-saw…"
