Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, but I do enjoy borrowing the characters every now and again. I bet y'all enjoy it too.

A/N: So I realize it's been a while, but I've been on this roller coaster with my grandma. She went to Hospice so we thought it was it then she pulls a 180 and has to come live with us for like a week and a day. Then she again took a turn and all the doctors were like we're sure that this is it. She won't be coming home this time….a week later they called us saying she did another 180….don't get me wrong I'm happy my grandma is still alive but dammit this woman knows how to play with my emotions! We've been told three times that this is it, and then she's just like not today motherfucker! On top of that my stepdad just started his immunotherapy for his cancer, I head back to school on Monday, and they're trying to send grandma to live with us again, but we can't provide the care she needs…..I don't know if I'm ranting over possibly having a nervous breakdown…..I'll let you know when I figure it the fuck out!

Jacob's P.O.V.

I honestly can't believe that Sam is dragging me along for a favor he promised the Cullen's. If anything we should have brought the whole pack just in case they try something. I don't like that fucking mind reader, Edward. He always looks so cocky like he's up to something.

"Seriously, Jake stop fucking complaining. You know why we're going over there so it's not like they were cryptic about it." Sam communicates through our link.

"I still don't trust them Sam. Plus from what you've told me they don't know all that much about this "shifter" they somehow found." I can see him rolling his eyes at me.

"You will be on your best behavior when we get there Jacob Black or you will live to regret it when we get back to the reservation. Do I make myself crystal clear?" Sam says trying to give me an Alpha command.

"I will try, but if they start something I will do my best to finish it." I sigh as I see us getting closer to the Cullen's mansion.

"Just don't go looking for problems. We're to help a shifter not start a war with a bunch of vampires." Sam says as we reach the woods just outside of the Cullen's house. We shift back and quickly put on our shorts before making the short journey to the front door.

The door opens before we make it all the way as Carlisle and the others begin to pile out. "Sam, Jacob I'm so glad you both could come. As I told Sam on the phone our newest member is a shifter who isn't familiar with any shifting culture. We were hoping you could explain some things to her." I cross my arms over my chest and roll my eyes as Carlisle finishes his monologue.

"Why couldn't you just explain things? I'm sure you know enough to get the point across." I say upset that we're honestly wasting our time with this.

"Rosalie felt like it would be better received from people who could relate." Why does that blonde bitch have a say?

Before I have a chance to ask I look up to see Rosalie walking out of the house followed by a very familiar face. "Bella!" I shout as I start running towards her.

I don't notice the look of shock on her face as she takes a step back. My path is quickly cut off by Rosalie as she pushes me back towards the trees as she crouches defensively in front of Bella.

"Jacob what the hell did I tell you on the way here?" Sam growls as I regain my footing and take off back towards Bella again.

This time my path is blocked by Emmett. "Jacob I would suggest you stop trying to attack my new sister before I snap your little puppy neck." I growl as I look between him and Bella.

"Bella, where in the hell have you been all this time?! I thought you were dead! What the fuck?!" I growl at her as she stays hidden behind Rosalie.

"I…..I'm sorry, but I have no clue who you are. Should I?" Bella asks as I notice the confusion on her face for the first time. What does she mean she doesn't know me?

"Bella we've been best friends since we were practically babies. We used to spend time together every chance we got. Do you really not know who I am?" I feel my hope die quickly as I see her shake her head no.

"What the hell did you bloodsuckers do to her?!" I growl. Clearly this is there fault because I don't believe that Bella would forget me that easily unless they did something. "You," I shout as I turn on Rosalie. "This is your fault!" I shout feeling my wolf starting to take over.

"How is it my fault exactly? All I did was find Bella in the woods close to death. Her forgetting who you are has absolutely nothing to do with me. You're letting that puppy temper of yours get in the way of the real issue here Jacob." Rosalie growls from her crouched position in front of Bella.

Hearing the state Rosalie found her in did nothing but upset me more. I feel my wolf take over as I easily push Emmett out of the way to get to Rosalie. I need to get Bella away from these bloodsuckers. I can hear Sam yelling at me to stop, but I ignore him.

I was so close to wrapping me teeth around that leeches neck before she's suddenly gone. I feel somebody grab the scruff of my neck and tosh me back. Before I have time to recover I'm being attacked by a giant white tiger. What the hell?

I'm going to kill you for trying to hurt what's mine. Who the hell is that? I barely have time to dodge another attack from the tiger.

What the hell? Bella, is that you? Stop attacking me dammit! I try communicating as I dodge another attack that seems to be getting closer and closer.

You tried to attack Rosalie. That's the only answer I received before I felt her teeth dig into my hind leg making it impossible to move. I yell in pain as Bella throws me into a tree. I can't dodge her attacks anymore as she comes at me again this time aiming for my throat.

Please don't kill me! I yell in my mind as I whimper pathetically as I try to move away from her. I feel myself transform back as Rosalie thankfully blocks Bella warpath straight at me.

"I just want you to know Jacob that you deserved everything you got and more. The only reason I'm not allowing Bella to kill you is because she wouldn't forgive herself and we may need you later." Rosalie says as she barely spares me a glance as she turns to face Bella.

"Bella, my beautiful girl, I know Jacob upset you, but you can't keep attacking him right now. How about you and I go for a walk? Maybe we can try this meeting a different day without a certain hothead." I'll admit that I deserved that so I don't even try to defend myself.

I see Bella look between Rosalie and I before I see her physically deflate and nod her head. She bares her teeth at me one last time before she starts walking deeper into the woods with Rosalie close behind her.

I lie back and look at the sky as I feel the pain from my leg began to spread across my whole body. It doesn't take long before I thankfully blackout from the blinding pain. Honestly I'm just happy I can still feel pain because I don't doubt for a second Bella was going to kill me.

Bella's P.O.V.

I could have killed him…...I should have killed him! He tried to hurt what's mine he deserved far worse than what I did to him.

I don't know how long we we're walking but it felt like forever. As I walk deeper into the woods I can feel Rosalie trailing close behind me. Why did she protect him? Does she not want to be mine? Does she not like that I was protecting her?

We continue walking until we reach a clearing. I keep walking until I'm a good distance away from Rosalie. I don't want her to be upset with. I sit down still in my tiger form to face her waiting for her to say something. I notice that she has a change of clothes clutched tightly in her hand. I sit and wait for Rosalie to make the first move.

"Bella, would you like to change into some clothes before we talk about what just happened back there?" Rosalie says softly as she moves closer trying to hand me the clothes.

I couldn't resist moving back afraid she was angry at me when I notice that her eyes are pitch black. I've been around enough angry vampires to know what that means.

I don't believe Rosalie would ever truly hurt me, but I can't help but fear the worst. I still don't know what all of this means, but I do know that I want Rosalie to be mine. I just don't quite know how to go about making that happen.

"Is something wrong? Are you hurt again?" Rosalie asks as she starts walking towards me cautiously. I can see the black ebb away from her eyes as worry begins to take over. I shake my head slowly as she continues to advance on me. I force myself to sit still as I see beautiful honey overtake daunting black.

As Rosalie gets closer I quickly take my clothes from her hand and head off to hide behind some trees. I change as quickly as I can to get this talk with Rosalie over with. I can't help but already set myself up for disappointment. Of course Rosalie doesn't want me. She's beautiful she can have practically anybody she wants. Why would she want the damaged shifter?

"Hi," I whisper softly as I walk out from behind the trees dressed in Rosalie's tank top and shorts which still smell like her.

"Hello Bella," she also whispers as she again starts walking towards me. "Would you like to tell me what happened back there?" She says gently as she comes to a stop in front of me. I do nothing but shrug waiting for her to get angry at me.

"Bella, that was clearly nothing. If I hadn't stepped in when I did would you have killed Jacob?" She asked me taking another step closer. I'm having very conflicting feelings. On one hand I want her closer, but on the other I don't just in case she is actually upset with me.

"Yes," I say as I cross my arms over my chest. I look up and I can't tell by the look on her face is she likes my answer or not.

"Why? Was it because Jacob tried to attack me?" Rosalie asks softly.

"Yes, I couldn't just let him hurt you!" I yell feeling myself get upset again. I'm trying to keep my emotions in check but I don't feel like it's working.

"You know I could have taken him myself, right? Don't let this pretty face fool you I know how to fight." I can see Rosalie's trying to joke around to lighten the mood, but that doesn't help lighten my mood at all.

"I don't care if you can take care of yourself. I still feel like it's my job to protect you." I growl as I clench my hands by my side. I can feel my tiger rattling in her cage as I avoid looking at Rosalie.

"Bella, talk to me. What's going through that beautiful mind of yours?" That was the last thing I needed to hear as I grab Rosalie and pin her to the tree behind me. I place my hands on either side of her so she can't escape me.

I growl again as I start to nuzzle her neck. I don't even realize that I'm mumbling 'mine' as I do this until she points this out. "Was you protecting me your way of claiming me?" Rosalie asks me not making an attempt to move.

"Yes!" I growl before I have time to stop myself. At that moment I snap out of my Rosalie induced haze and jump back as though she's scolded me. "I mean….I….I'm so sorry Rosalie. I don't know what came over me." I sigh as I shake my head as I continue to back away from her.

At that moment my leg decides to lock up. I start falling, but before I have time to catch myself I feel Rosalie's strong arms wrapped around me. "Please don't run away from me Bella, and never apologize for staking your claim. I've been doing it ever since I found you, hun." Rosalie says with a soft smile.

"What do you mean?" Surely she can't mean what I think she means. Rosalie answers my question by leaning in slowly and pressing her lips to mine.

I run my fingers through Rosalie's luscious hair as I kiss her back. I guess that answers my question for now. I'm sure that we will have to talk some more, but for right now I'm more than happy just kissing this beautiful woman for as long as she will allow me.

A/N 2: I realize this chapter is shorter than usual, but I'm running on basically empty and I couldn't let the school year start without me at least trying to upload something for one of my many stories. Hopefully things will calm down soon and I'll be able to breath again and then I'll start pumping out chapters and finishing some stories and maybe even a new story or one shot or something.
