Chapter 13

Bella POV

I sat there on the ground, soaked in my own tears. My Jacob…My Jacob… was gone. Faith put his hand on me as his hand began to reappear. This is impossible. Jacob is dead…why are they coming back? A tear falls from my eyes as I turn around to see Faith's hands were somewhere else. He stood in front of the demon with his fists raised, ready to fight. He is Jacob's son.

Hope stood by her father's side and held onto my hand. "Mom, it's going to be okay." Her voice sounds like mine. Her image stares back at me. It is like looking in a mirror. She squeezed it lightly and Faith's eyes switched. They were no longer soft and harmless. They were filled with rage.

I wanted to scream out to him to not fight and to just run away. He needs to live but then I realized…without Jacob…he already is dead. I held onto my stomach. A bad feeling builds up in my gut.

Faith takes a step forward as he glared at the demon. His arms grew tense and he was ready. Hope's eyes changed slowly as they, too, grew with anticipation. She crouched down as she held the stuffed animal in her right hand and my hand in the other. Hope drew herself closer to me and my breathing grew ragged. This is it.

Faith takes another step forward, pressing his foot firmly down on the ground. A light emerges from his foot that is almost golden. He takes another one and more golden lights emerge and rays fall from what it seems like heavy. The clouds part and focus on Faith and Faith alone. His face remains composed. His gaze has yet to break.

Hope's grasp on my hand leaves me and I am alone. She gives me her stuffed animal to cuddle while she walks slowly by her brother's side. Her face bears the same expression as her brother: hard and angry. Hope growls lowly and Faith mimics her growl but louder and fiercer. His fists open as the fingers twist and the nails grow. He flexes what seems like claws… and Hope does the same never taking her eyes from the enemy – their prey.

Faith's skin and flesh starts to burn and peel off, leaving fur. Wind surrounds the two of them. Hope's hair flies in the air as the wind masks her and the wind tunnel disappears into the atmosphere, leaving two strong wolves. Their fur blows in the wind. The fact that Faith is larger than Hope makes sense because of the age difference but Hope's claws are sharper. They both bare their teeth and then Faith growls. The golden light surrounds them…

They step closer. I hold onto the stuffed animal and then look back at Jacob's emotionless body.

Hope and Faith walk on all four paws and growl. The light almost consumes them and then more paws emerge from the light. Hope's tail stands up quickly as more wolves emerged from the light. A whole pack emerged…

Growls from what seemed like a distance were suddenly projected as more stood around Hope and Faith. One last wolf…came and then turned into a human. He was transparent. He was Jacob… Does that mean…? I look at Jacob. He's still here. How can that be?

Jacob stood next to his son. It's his spirit. It has to be. Then, another man that looked like Jacob but with longer hair stood next to hope. Ephraim Black.

Seth POV

I stood there in shock. Ephraim Black. He was one of the most powerful of us and he is Jake's grandfather but…but…why is he here? He's dead.

He stood there strong next to Hope. What in the world is going on?

Luna POV

I clung to Seth's side and watch as the events unfolded before. I looked between Jacob's body laying next to Bella, dead, and the living, breathing Jacob next to what looks like Faith in his wolf form. To my understanding, if Jacob dies both Hope and Faith die as well and the chance of the baby in Bella's womb actually living slims because if they do not defeat the demon, we all die including Bella along with her baby. With that being said, there about a million possibilities here and all end in "What the hell is going on here". I have seen a lot of things in my life time but never did I think I would see something like this.

Holding onto Seth's arm, I watch the golden light travel. It traveled around Jacob's dead body and then Bella's. It touched the womb and the body of the unborn child deep down inside. My eyes widened as it all retreated to surround itself around the pack, Faith, Hope, Jacob, and his grandfather. None of this make any sense.

Faith POV

As the wolves surround me along with my father and my great grandfather and my sister, I watch the demon carefully. He laughs at me. He mocks me. The golden aura cloaks me from all harm…

The golden light…

Oh golden light…While darkness feeds… you stay. I look in my mother's eyes now and again and I can never believe that a human's soul and love could be so powerful. A human like her…so innocent…so pure. And because of that, she must live. I will not allow you, demon, to destroy the beauty and love that lies within my mother's eyes. Her tears…they should not be there. And my father… his strength will live on. He will live on. Jacob Black is not dead. He lives…

The light of my mother's soul… Save me now.

I jump and the demon catches me by the throat. It cracks my back and the darkness slowly slides in….

*** Here you go guys! I have been so stressed lately! You will never believe all the drama that has been going on with me but I finally got some down time today and decided…hmmm maybe I should update. Yea, I should do that. For those who are confused… Remember…There is the heart…and there is the soul which can also be referred to as the spirit of a person. That is one hint and the only hint I will give to why Jacob is standing next to Faith and why Faith is still living along with Hope. But wait – does anybody wonder why his dead grandfather is there? Hmmmmm… Questions…Questions…And how about those other wolves? Where did they come from? Who are they? Questions…Suspicions and more suspicions… Welp, that's it for now ladies and gentleman! Thank you! REVIEW! 3 Nefis ***
