Sorry for the little cliffhanger there...And how fast i've sprung it up on you guys. I just know that I need to wrap this up within the next few chapters, and August 2nd is edging closer and closer, so I need to start ending things now.

And I have a feeling you may not like where it's going, but in my mind, it's how I feel things should end. Thank you all again for your awesomazing reviews!! You guys rock and/or roll. xD

Late the next night, I noticed Bella's eyes beginning to turn a few shades darker. It had been a little while since she'd hunted...

"Bella, how would you like to go back out to our meadow for a little hunt?" I suggested, wrapping an arm around her waist. She smiled up at me.

"Is it really that obvious how thirsty I am?"

"Well, your eyes have grown a bit dark," I smirked. "Come on, let's go."

We hopped into the Volvo and sped out to our meadow, Bella holding her breath through the ride as usual. Once we arrived she sighed.

"I'll be happy once i'm finally allowed to breath during trips again," she grumbled. I couldn't help but laugh at her annoyance of the situation.

"Well you either hold your breath, or you go insane with thirst after catching the scent of some unsuspecting human." She simply shrugged, causing me to laugh again.

We walked through the entrance to the forest, and I smiled at all the memories the place held for us. I put a hand on Bella's shoulder, spinning her around to face me.

"How about a ride?" She raised a brow questioningly. "For old time's sake." With that, she smiled.

"Well...How about I give you a ride instead," she growled. Suddenly I found myself on her back as she sped through the trees. I let out a loud, barking laugh at her.

"This certainly is interesting."

"Make sure you hold on tight, or else you'll slip," she teased.

"Do you even know where you're going?" Just as I finished my sentence, she stopped. We'd arrived at our meadow. I hopped off of her back - with a little less grace than I usually have - and sighed. "Ah, Bella. Always so unpredictable."

I know they're nearby. I can smell them, an all-too familiar voice rang out in my head. I can't wait to tell them.

"Edward?" Bella asked curiously, taking a hold of one of my hands. "What is it?" She suddenly recoiled, letting out a low hiss. I fought back the urge to do the same. "Not again..."

Two large wolves emerged from the trees a mile or so away from us, letting out low, angry growls. I recognized them as being Jacob and Sam.

So we meet again, bloodsucker, Jacob sneered.

"What do you want now," I asked angrily, clenching and unclenching my fists.

We just wanted to give you some news.

"How did you know we'd be here."

You seem to come here a lot. We've kept watch of the area, waiting for you to return for the past few days.

"Well we're here now. Just get it over with."

Jacob turned to Sam, nodded once, then took a few paces forward. He began to convulse, while digging his claws into the ground. He was transforming back into his human-self. Bella grabbed my hand again, and leaned into my shoulder.

"I thought it would be fun to tell you both together," Jacob grinned, his transformation complete, while sauntering over to us. Sam stayed close behind, clearly only there for protection. I smirked at that.

"Tell us what?" Bella asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Jacob's grin grew wider as he crossed his arms.

"You've broken the treaty."

"What?" She asked again, clearly not understanding. Unfortunately, I did.

"The treaty," he repeated, looking only at me. "By what you've done to...Bella." I could tell he tried not to wince after saying her name.

"Jake, don't do this..."

"Sorry, but it's not my decision."

Of course it isn't, I thought with a snarl.

"Now, i'm afraid there will be...consquenses."

"You don't have to do this," Bella said, clearly growing frustrated. "I know you have control over the decisions of the pack. Even though Sam is the alpha, you were chosen first for that position. You can tell them -- "

"I can, but I won't." The look that crossed Bella's face was heartbreaking. I looked away, not wanting to see any more.

"Why not," I asked for her, angrily.

"Look, it wasn't my fault that you did this. I shouldn't have to let you off the hook."

"I'm not asking you to do it for me." His face softened, but only a little. He subtly looked back and forth between me and Bella. After a minute of silence, he glared back at me.

"I'm sorry." But you haven't left me any other choice.

And with that, he took off towards Sam, transforming back into wolf-form in mid sprint. I closed my eyes, holding Bella closer to me. She let out a soft whimpering noise that crushed me completely.

"What...what are we going to do?" I slowly opened my eyes to glance back down at her.

"We need to leave."

"Yes...Yes, we can go home, Carlisle will know what we -- "

"No, love. We need to leave." She simply stared up at me, not fully understanding the meaning of my words. "We have to leave Forks."

"But...No, how will that..."

"It's what he wants. If we continue to stay here, we'll continue to run into each other. He can't handle that, and to be honest, I don't think you'd be able to handle it either. If we leave, he'll have no real reason to follow through with his...punishments," I sighed. She took all this in, nodding slowly.

"Where will we go?"

"For that, I suppose we'll need to talk with Carlisle and the others." She smiled softly, nodding again. I couldn't bear to tell her that I already knew where we'd be going...And who we'd be leaving behind.

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN! xD (sorry, I couldn't resist)
