Why are you here?

Jacob

Kara awoke terrified.

She had been having good dreams with me but lately they had turned into nightmares about something.

"Jacob! Don't!" she screamed.

"What's wrong Lilka?" I asked turning over to face her.

"Bella trapped me! She made me stay here!" Kara was crying now, tears shaking her body against mine. It hurt me to see her like this.

"I'm here baby it's okay." I said "Relax. You'll warm up soon." I knew by this point that the heat of my body relaxed her fully and made Kara forget about everything she didn't like about life in Forks. Thankfully, that philosophy had turned around some but she was still a little tense about some things Bella did.

"It's alright now Kara. I won't ever hurt you." I promised again and she calmed down almost all the way.

"Jake, would you wanna leave Sam's pack one day?' she asked surprising me. The wolves were a fun topic for Kara to talk about and she knew how I had turned down the alpha position because Sam wanted it more.

"If they did something I didn't like then yeah, I probably wouldn't go along with it. But leave all together?" I thought about it and said "Maybe someday."

"Why do you stay if he makes you do things you don't want to do?" she seemed genuinely concerned about my happiness in the pack and I thought that was sweet. It made me happy that Kara cared about and trusted me better than anyone else.

"Let's switch that then." I said as Kara laid down on my chest. She said she could feel my heartbeat through my skin and I sighed.

"It's probably because you're with me." I said. "Kara, don't get mad okay? If Bella and Edward are a serious couple, why do you stay here with them?"

"Because I love Bella and Charlie." she said.

"I shook my head. "I don't buy that you like getting told who you can and can't see or can and can't do every day 24-7. And even if Bella is good to you, she's always with Edward so doesn't that get lonely?"

Kara

I thought about Jacob's question. I had been getting lonely here. It was winter and I never went outside. If I was staying for me than that was one thing, but if I was staying so that Bella would ultimately be happy than that was already a bad reason to be here in the first place.

"I think you are trying to get me to go somewhere with you Jake. I would go away with you but maybe not yet."

"Okay. You don't have to make any decisions now Kara I was just trying to see your way of thinking."

Was Jacob planning to take me somewhere?
