I don't own Twilight or any of the amazing characters…
I just love to write about them.
Okay well, I have some news…
I am currently canceling all of my other stories (well… story) so I can finish my version of Breaking Dawn before the real book comes out.
It's going to be a bit different than what you may be thinking, but I hope you'll enjoy it all the same.

When I woke up the next morning, I was alone. There was a little note on my bedside table that said, 'Out hunting. Be back tonight. Be safe.' I smiled at the last words, remembering when he first left me a note like that a year ago.
I threw on a light blue V-neck blouse and a pair of old blue jeans, an outfit that Alice would no doubt, be unhappy about if she saw me in it. I grabbed the small piece of paper of the table and read it one more time before folding it up gently and shoving it into my pocket.
I walked down the stairs, trying to decide what to do today. There was probably a Cullen or two at their house, but having Emmett laugh at me and Rose sulk in a corner, didn't really sound like fun for my day. I grabbed a strawberry pop-tart and nibbled on it, trying to think of what else I could do. I could call Angela… but I didn't really want to get close to her. That would make leaving even harder.
I continued to think as I cleaned my dishes. What was one supposed to do for fun, when there is nothing to do?
I jumped up when I heard the knock at the door, and I began to fall, but luckily, I steadied myself on the counter before I could get another concussion. I felt the bump on my head as I walked to get the door. Yup. Still tender.
I fumbled with the lock, and threw the door open. I was shocked at what I saw.
Standing in front of me was… "Jake!" I squealed launching myself at him. I gave him a quick squeeze, and stepped back, realizing I had just broken one of the rules that I had set up to keep our not relationship from becoming a relationship. But I could be excited, right? I mean, we were friends, and Jake had been 'missing' for quite a while now, and I was starting to get worried. He was somewhere in northern Canada, the pack had told us. It looks like now he was back from his little expedition.
"Good to see you too, Bells," he said smiling. He reached forward to put my hair behind my ear, but I slapped his had away.
"No touchy," I said waggling my finger at him sternly.
He laughed. "Okay, okay," he said.
"Jake, what are you doing here?" I asked, suddenly aware of the situation. Jacob, the werewolf, was on Cullen turf, the vampires. "You're not supposed to be over here," I said trying to push him away from my house with no luck. Trying to move Jacob was like trying to move a brick wall- it didn't work.
"Bells, I wanna show you somewhere special to me. It's not far… and it looks like Mr. L-Edward isn't here to tell you not to go. Please," he said quietly.
I bit my lip and began to think it over. Sure I wanted to go with Jacob; I mean it has been ages since I saw him. But I made rules, and they really need to be followed. I don't want a replay of what happened before the fight. He did promise me that he would never do that again… The battle raged relentlessly inside my head. Should I go with him or not? Then I thought of Edward. He would be beyond worried since Alice wouldn't be able to see me, and I couldn't do that to him again.
"No, Jake," I said. "I'm not going." I went to close the door, but Jacob grabbed my wrist.
"Please Bella! You have to come with me. I need to show this to you," he begged.
"Well, I don't want to see it," I said stubbornly. I tried to pull my wrist free, but it didn't work, his grip was too tight.
"Please?" he murmured brokenly. "I've really missed you, Bells, and I'm ready to try again… I promise I won't ruin it this time."
That may have worked before, but not now. "NO Jake! What part of 'no' don't you-" Suddenly I was flying. Jake had thrown me over his shoulder, and was now running his fastest to who knows where.
Suddenly it hit me. "JACOB PUT ME DOWN!" I shouted. He was running to the one place where the Cullen's couldn't save me- La Push.
"Sorry Bella, but I really need to show you this," he said laughing.
"Jake, this isn't funny!" I screamed. Oh no, oh no! Edward is gonna flip! I began to hit and kick him, even though I knew it wouldn't be any use. I stopped when my feet were throbbing with pain. Not smart to kick a werewolf.
I saw the first houses of La Push nearing, and I began to throw a fit. "DAMMIT, PUT ME DOWN YOU BASTARD!" I screeched. I hoped to grab the attention of some of the townspeople, but either they didn't notice or they didn't care.
Jacob began to slow, but only slightly. He rounded a corner and continued his jog- into the forest… Now I knew this was Jake, but all the same I saw the newspaper headlines- 'Young girl found dead in forest', or 'Bella Swan found mangled and torn in forest'.
"Um… Jake…?" I mumbled. "Where are we going?" I asked nervously.
"Finally! Some interest!" he sighed
"Yeah Jake, I'm interested- in where you were planning on hiding my body!" Cruel, harsh, mean, but I didn't care. He was taking me away from my home and my love, and I felt completely helpless.
He stopped for a moment and looked up at my face. "That was mean," he said before he continued to walk. Good riddance. "I found this one beautiful place, and I really just wanted to show it to you." I felt his burning face increase in temperature as he blushed. "It reminded me of you."
At that moment, we burst into a clearing. I gasped at the pure beauty of it all. "Wow," was all I could say, but it wasn't nearly enough. On the northern side of the clearing, there was a huge cliff, with a massive waterfall cascading down into a deep blue pool at the bottom. There were a couple of large boulders by the water's edge that were a good three feet tall. All around the rest of the clearing, long, green grass blew gently in the wind, rippling just like the pond. The pure beauty of this place made me forget all about why I had been throwing a fit.
Jake took me off his back and led me over to the boulders. He leapt agilely up onto the taller one, and held his hand out for me. I grabbed it, and he pulled me gently up onto the other boulder. He turned to the water and said, "Look at the fish, Bells."
I looked down and saw five massive koi fish. They were all a vibrant shade of orange, except the smallest one that was a beautiful white-ish gray. I was overwhelmed by the beauty of this little clearing. It was absolutely gorgeous!
"This is where I was when I was… hiding," he admitted quietly, still staring at the fish. "It reminded me of you, which automatically made me feel at home, but it wasn't the same as seeing you." His eyes shot up, full of a burning intensity that I'd only seen a few times before. He began to lean toward me, and I scrambled backwards, forgetting that I was sitting on a very tall boulder.
I slipped off and hit my head on the soft grass. Regularly, this wouldn't have bothered me, but when I fell, I just happened to hit my bump from falling in Edward's bathroom. "OUCH!" I wailed.
Jake was at my side at an instant, but it was an instant too late. I had already stood up, and was storming toward the cover of trees, with one hand on my head. "Wait! Bells!" Jake ran in front of me and put his hands on my shoulders. I writhed, trying to get out of his grip, but he was too strong.
"Bella, please stop this! I brought you out here to talk."
"Oh yeah. You really wanted to talk while we were sitting on the rocks," I said sarcastically. I said it a little harsher than necessary, but I didn't care, because just then, I figured out I already had a special place. And a special someone. I couldn't believe what an idiot I was being. Edward was probably overcome with worry, and here I was, totally forgetting about him.
"Let go of me Jacob!" I said angrily. He released my shoulders, shocked. "Goodbye." I felt the hole in my chest rip open, but I held the tears and pain back miraculously.
"Wait, Bella!" Jake called. "I just have one thing that I need to ask you."
I turned around reluctantly. "What?" I spat.
"What's wrong with this place?" he asked gesturing around the clearing. "I thought you would love it."
"For your information, Jacob," I sneered. "I already have a special place. And I share it with Edward. You just can't compete Jake, there's nothing you can say that will make me want to stay here, with you. I'm going home to the one person who I love and care about, and I never want to see you again!"
I barely registered the fact that he was shaking, before I felt a searing pain rip through my lungs. I gasped. The world began to spin. There was no way the hole was hurting this badly. I began to sway on my feet, and fell. A pair of burning hot arms caught me before I hit the ground. Every breath burned. I looked down and was met with a bright red, completely covering my torso.
I screamed in terror, and nearly blacked out. I sucked in as much air as my mangled lungs could hold. I felt the wind whipping my hair into my face, and heard Jacob pleading for me to be okay, but all I could focus on was each rasping breath I sucked into my lungs, hoping that it wouldn't be my last. My world was spinning, and I was spitting up blood.
"C'mon, Bells! Hang in there! We're almost to… Edward's house," Jake encouraged.
Those words helped me to hang on a little longer. I screamed in pain again. My chest felt like it was falling apart. Jake began to run down their ridiculously long driveway, almost as fast as the vampires could run. My breaths became shorter, quicker, and more painful, every one made me feel like I was falling apart.
Finally, their massive white mansion loomed into view, and relief washed through my body. My breaths were becoming excruciatingly painful, and I had to resist the scream of pain that threatened to escape my lips every time I took a breath.
Someone must've smelled the blood, for Carlisle was suddenly at the door, staring awestruck out at us. "Edward!" he called, and I could tell he was truly panicked, for he actually yelled for Edward. He was at the door in an instant, and I started to truly hyperventilate. My lungs wouldn't last much longer, and I longed for the relief of unconsciousness.
I let my eyelids slip closed, and the last thing I heard before reaching unconsciousness was a strangled cry that could only come from Edward. "Nooo!" he screamed. Then it all went black.
Don't kill me! This had to happen, or my story would have no ending! Please resist the urge to attack/kill/hurt me!
I'd really appreciate reviews, because when I was writing this, I was having trouble breathing. Yeah, I know I'm a nerd for that, but this was seriously intense to write.
So please review, or I'll wait even longer to post the next chapter!!(hee hee, threatening you is fun!)
