I own nothing.

Chapter 11

The week after Jacob's and my fulfillment of the imprint bond had been bliss, for me at least, not so much for Jacob since Sam and Paul felt like it was their personal assignment to keep him on his toes around me- rarely letting us be alone during the day. However not even the Alpha could keep the two of us apart at night and after awhile even Sam relented to let us spend as much time together as physically possible- which for us meant about 20 hours a day. The four not spent together was when he was on patrol and I studied, or spent time with the girls.

The vampires, the vegetarian Cullens, had reappeared making Billy and the sheriff's relationship even more strained than it had been before. The sheriff blaming me for the break of Jacob and Bella's relationship and forcing Billy to choose a side in the difficult situation that was the relationship of his child and said child soulmate- being me.

Let's just say the two older men had had an fall-out creating even more room for Billy to spend time at Sue's and having me over for dinner almost every night.

This pace of life was pure bliss, being loved, being able to love and almost most importantly- not having to care about a certain brunette and her craving for my boyfriends undying attention.

Or so I thought.

"NIK? Where the hell are you?" Paul's voice rung through the quiet house, waking me up to an empty bed. Jacob had had the early morning patrols the past two days and I was getting used to not sharing my 120cm wide bed with a boy as wide as it.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm awake." I stretched, glancing at my alarm-clock who showed me the digital numbers of 06:08. "Why are you waking me up at this hour?" Paul had walked up and was standing in the doorway, leaning on the wall.

"I wanted to go for a run before I have to go to work stupid." He was smiling, canceling out his harsh words.

I groaned. I loved him to bits but him preferring to run with me in the mornings had turned to a "I-can-wake-you-up-whenever-I-feel-like-running" and usually forced me out of bed way earlier than I wanted to.

"You do mean school right?" Emily's voice rung out from her and Sam's room making him wince. Paul had a hard time in school, having troubles concentrating and having too much energy made him go crazy and usually in trouble with the teachers. His part-time job at the mechanic shop in Forks had become his safe-zone and he preferred speeding his days there rather than in school- geting him in trouble with Emily.

"Uh, yeah, uh. Get ready now Nikole so we can run before school." He grimaced at me, making me understand that he was in fact going to work and I to school before turning around and walking back outside the house. "Get ready bitch, I don't have all the time in the world." I groaned again, he really needed someone to keep an eye on him.

We ran together, him in his human form for once, around the perimeter of the pack territory. Talking and laughing while making our leisurely pace around, not having a single care in the world. Or, we didn't exactly until we heard pounding behind us, quick footsteps from wolves and a hysteric laughter from the other side of the perimeter.

Paul phased and as he threw himself towards the manic laughter something large and brawny met him mid-air, creating a large boom to surround the forest.

I was pushed back behind a russet wolf as the pack caught up to us and they all turned towards the perimeter standing eye to eye with the most frightening monsters I had ever seen.

There were five of them, one on the ground with Paul, and the other four fanning out in a similar way to the wolves, the one looking oldest standing in the middle, looking concerned.

"We wish not to do any harm." His words were soft, and probably intended to create a calm to the group and it seemed to work on the wolves. The atmosphere was almost foggy with calm, but it wasn't even close to comforting me. My panicked heart kept beating faster- surprising the vampires as the wolves seemed like they were calming down- or did until the russet one in front of me started growling making the cloud of calm leave the group.

"I'm sorry, Jasper stop it." The older one again. Sam phased, his nudity not bothering anyone, all being to used to the way of shifting.

"If any of you even take one more step you will all be dead." The blonde woman standing next to the leader-vamp snorted- making Paul growl as he stepped back slightly, flanking Jacob.

"She is the only one dying if you even try to attack us." Her amber-eyes met mine and I somewhat relaxed- surprising myself. But knowing that she, or any of these demons in front of me, were in fact like the redheaded loon that tried to kill me made me relax instead of trying to regain my self-control and also opening up for me to get involved in the wonder that was this conversation between both parties.

"Well, let's just say you don't have much possibility to get past these boys." My voice was raspy, but held enough contempt for her and her kind to create a reaction.

"Oh sweetheart, you don't know our strength." She was smirking at me, at the pack, and I couldn't contain my laughter any longer.

"So if you are so strong and able to hurt a pack of eight wolves- how come you can't take down even one of your own kind? I would call that hypocrisy if anything. Or maybe you don't want her gone? You have some troubles with a human you would like taken down?" Paul's massive form was shaking with contained barking and I noticed how Jared and Embry's tails were twisting as if they were holding them back from start wagging. "Cuz if you do sweetie, I'm sure that crazy demon can help."

The dark vamp that had collided with Paul started laughing, a rumbling chaos that made his whole body shake and, if he had been able to, would have made him cry.

"Fuck the kitten's got some claws. Whatcha thinking Rosie?" The blonde female, Rosalie, smirked, actually giving me a nod and a small smile.

"Well, if she hadn't acted like such a frightened bunny when she saw us first I would probably like her- or at least her wit."

I laughed at that, making Paul throw an annoyed look at me.

"Jacob, bring Nikole back to the house. Take Paul with you." I would have protested, if it wasn't for the option of leaving the damp forest that still held the promise of violence.

The day just seemed off afterwards. Paul decided to stay back and wait until the rest of the pack returned to Sam's so it was Jacob who drove me to school- head completely immersed in thoughts and not even bothering to hold a conversation with me but just content in holding my hand while walking in-between classes. He didn't even realize when he went to the wrong class, staying with me instead of going to his P.E class making Kim scream at him as he wouldn't move from his seat.

"JACOB. MOVE." Kim's voice could usually only be called smooth and almost like cinnamon, but now it had turned into a shrill screaming that probably could break glass if it continued for too long.

"What? Oh. Shit I've got P.E now don't I?" He grabbed his things and ran out of the room, after he gave me a quick kiss of course, and Kim sat down in his seat.

"Something going on that I should know about?" I smiled at her and just shook my head.

"Nah, you know. Just the ordinary werewolf and vampire business. We watched the "Underworld" series like two times this weekend. He's a bit concerned about the vampires being more attractive than the wolves because he felt more… how should I put it? Connected to the wolves?" I turned my eyes down to my books and heard Kim's laughter bless the air.

"Yeah, Jared has the same issue- especially when we're watching those movies."

The professor cleared his throat and start the class with Kim and I passing notes about how we should help our boyfriends with their obvious insecurity issues making us both shake with silent laughter.

Lunch would have been as uneventfully pleasant as the rest of the day, but instead of being met by my boyfriends sweet face at our usual lunch-table there was no one. Making both me and Kim grumble slightly about the prospect of us eating all by ourselves.

"Everyone will think that we scared them away. Or broke up with them." I groaned:

"I can already hear the gossip about how horrible we are." Kim just nodded as we sat down, both flipping up our phones from our bags giving each other an apologetic glance.

"Fuck we're addicted to them." Kim's words made me snort unladylike while nodding.

"Yeah just gonna text him to check you know."

I opened a new message and typed in Jacob's number.

"Where u ?" He replied quickly, lucky for him.

" Bellas school, will tell u l8r. ILY." I frowned, but quickly stopped as I rubbed the soon-to-be wrinkle between my eyebrows.

"OK. U touch her u dead. ily2." I put my phone back in my pocket and took a sip from the smoothie I'd brought for lunch and watched Kim smile into her phone, a slight blush on her cheeks.

"If you and Jared are sexting right now I will never, ever, forgive you." She looked up, face turning scarlet and I faked throwing up.

"Oh shut it Nikole. It's not like you haven't done the same with Jake." I looked at her, innocence gracing my features:

"Oh I would never do something so filthy! How can you even think something like that about me?" She just grumbled and turned her phone off before starting to eat her way through the carbonara the school kitchen offered.

"Fuck off."

School ended and Kim and I went into Forks to, as she put it, spend some time together that wasn't laced with man-wolves and their penchant of abandoning us in school and starting rumors. I was happy about it, especially since Jacob still hadn't called me after him spending time with the Bell-Bitch making me slightly worried, not about our relationship but rather about the reason of him going there- especially after the meeting in the forest earlier this morning. If Kim hadn't been pestering me about wether or not she should cut off her hair I would have been all over the place.

"Little bunny?" I froze at the smooth, cold voice behind me and turned slowly to find the vampire from earlier, Rosalie, standing there. "How are you?" She smirked at me and I felt slightly out of place, categorizing the exit's and people in the shop with us.

"Ah, blonde bloodsucker, I'm very good. How are you this fine afternoon?" Kim had stopped talking and the panic in her eyes as she realized what kind of person I was talking to. The vamp laughed.

"Ah, so quick and witty. I would have fallen for it if it wasn't for your heartbeat. Good thing, this supernatural hearing and all." She winked at me before taking my arm, leading me towards the small park in the middle of Forks. "Let's just sit down for a while, just the two of us. I don't really think the wolf-girl has any interest in our conversation." I met Kim's gaze and nodded at her, she stared at me- terrified but stayed back instead of following us.

The blonde sat the two of us down on a park bench, her human mannerisms almost scary as she fixed her shirt and played with a stray lock of her hair.

"I know that you don't really find Bella very special." I looked at her, shocked. "She and my brother, or well, long story short my brother, are dating. Or well. I think she is using him to feel special. So I would actually want to ask you for a favor." If my eyebrows could rise any higher on my forehead they would, as it was for now they were starting to cramp making my surprised face almost comical.

"And what would that favor be?" She smiled at me, amber eyes sparkling for a moment before returning to their cold stare.

"I would like you to memorize everything she does towards your wolf-boy, everything she says, does or thinks around him and then- when you meet my brother, repeat those memories until he reacts in any kind of way. You get it?" I dropped my eyebrows only to raise one of them again, how wold that possibly be able to affect her brother into leaving Bell-Bitch?

"I don't really know how that would bust her for being awful but, well, since I don't have anything else to do when around you bloodsuckers- why not?" She laughed, a sound of sunshine on ice- the slightly cool but refreshing feeling of early spring coming to mind, and nodded at me before standing up.

"Thank you sweetie. I am in debt to you." She was gone before I could even open my mouth, leaving me flabbergasted and alone on a park bench in the middle of Forks.

"HEY!" Kim. "What did she want?" The last part spoken in a whisper and I couldn't help but starting to laugh hysterically.

"Oh my fucking god Kim. She wants me to make sure her brother dumps Bella by just thinking of all of her stupidity around Jacob. It's like I won the fucking lottery." Kim's mouth dropped open and she joined in on my laughter, now leaving the two os us on a park bench in the middle of Forks laughing like loons.

Knitting it together even more, what do you think about the wonderful Rosalie and her plotting? Otherwise well, I should be able to write more this week because of no work and just tons of school! Thank you all for everything. Love.
