First version of this chapter was completely erased by a "Don't Send Report" this is shaky, but I was so pumped on updating I wanted to share it quick! Almost 100 reviews, so please keep reviewing so I get more drive to update faster!

Emily and I were both becoming more impatient as the long hand on the clock ticked by. It was four in the evening and we hadn't heard from Sam since the night before. Were our boys alive?

With all the worry about Jacob on my mind I had a nagging Edward on my cell phone. He was calling and texting all throughout the day. I know it must be hard for him to find something to do at all times since he didn't sleep but it was getting ridiculous.

Edward 4:02P.M. Hey I still have an application for Evergreen College. Have you given anymore thought about the school? I read they let you choose your own grade and create your own major. You might enjoy that. But it may be a little hipster.

I huffed and tossed my cell phone beside me. Why would I want to think about college at a time like this? Was Edward trying to sway my mind into another direction?

Bella 4:05P.M. Hmm, sounds interesting. I thought about becoming Devendra Banhart's number one fan and getting me a pair of non-prescription glasses and TOMS shoes so maybe it's my calling.

Edward 4:08P.M. Nevermind, I don't want you to start wearing patchouli oil and dreading your hair. I also dislike Johanna and Paul Newsom. Have you heard anything yet?

Bella 4:09P.M. Ha. No. My phone's dying can't text anymore. Bye.

Edward 4:09 ½ P.M. Did you forget your charger? I can meet you somewhere and give you a spare one I have.

You've got to be kidding me.

Bella 4:12PM. No electrical outlet that's working is in the other room.

Edward 4:13P.M. Alright, I'll call you in a few hours.

Fabulous.

Just then the two wolves outside started howling. Emily and I ran out the door and stood at the edge of the porch as we watched the two wolves take off into the tree lines. She dropped her tea and grabbed my hand. We heard whining in a distance and more howls that I didn't recognize.

I jumped off the porch and Emily screamed. She grabbed the back of my shirt to keep me from running into the forest. "What if they're hurt?" I screeched at her. "I can't just not do anything!"

"No, stay here! We have to stay here. Maybe we should go inside." Her eyes were wide as she kept staring at the deep forest.

"No I'm not going anywhere. He's back." Realization hit me when I heard another howl. That one I recognized. That was the howl coming from outside my window every night Jake and I were apart when he first became a wolf. "Jake!" I screamed and ran towards the trees.

As I was running I could hear something come towards me crashing through the brush and leaves. "Jake!" I called out and there he was. Not in human form but he was there. I knew it was him even though I had only seen him in this form just a few times before. The Jacob wolf started whimpering and whining and pacing back and forth staring back at me. I reached out my hand towards him and noticed I was shaking violently. Jacob sat on all fours as I put a hand on top of his head. Then Sam appeared out of the woods in human form following the rest of the pack…also in human form. Sam looked at me and sighed then ran off to Emily. "What's going on?" I shrieked at the rest of them.

Embry stopped next to Jacob. "He won't change. Something happened and he won't change back to human form. He tried for about fifteen minutes back there with the rest of us" and he pointed behind him into the green, "but he wouldn't change. Sam went back into wolf form and Jacob said it might be the drugs that are in his system that won't let him change back. He changed into wolf form earlier today and didn't even try to change back to human. Sorry, Bella." Embry shrugged his bare shoulders.

"What drugs?" I felt my heart drop.

"Someone drugged him with tranquilizers since he's been gone. He also has had a poor diet. We're going to try feeding him a lot of nutritious foods tonight and see if that helps." Sam appeared with Emily in hand next to me. Emily was all smiles. Now I was alone in this one. No one was going to relate to how I felt about my boyfriend being stuck as a wolf. I looked Jacob over again as he whined, he did look extremely scrawny.

"How about a steak?" I smiled meekly. I didn't know how to talk to Jacob as a wolf.

"Bella, it's starting to rain. It's freezing. We should go in and make some food for the boys and let them handle Jacob." Emily suggested.

How could she say such idiotic words? Of course I wasn't going inside. "I'll get my coat. I'm staying out here until he changes."

"Bella, he'll be fine." I gave Emily a dirty look and she turned away and went in the house. The boys followed, they were starving.

It was just me and my wolf now. "Let's sit on the porch." I suggested nervously. He could understand me I guess because he followed me to the house. I tucked my knees under my chin and we sat and stared at each other. "I don't know how to talk to you like this. I'm sorry." I motioned with my eyes to what I was talking about.

His tongue lolled to the side and he gave a sharp bark. A laugh perhaps? "I miss you." I confessed. I guess I could start with how I've been feeling since he left. "I'm sorry too. I wish I could have come with. I guess I need to talk to the guys to see what all happened but I don't want to right now. I just want to be like this right now. You know I can see the similarities to boy Jacob and wolf Jacob. You're eyes seem the same." Those eyes blinked a few times and he came closer to me and curled up next to me. I pulled my hand through his ruff. It was dirty. I guess he hadn't showered in a while. "You aren't injured are you? You aren't hurt, right?" I inspected his fur. I didn't see any visible wounds. I heard him sigh and drop his head a little. He still stared up at me. Maybe he liked his ears rubbed? My aunt's dog always liked that. I found out soon enough he did. He let out some sort of sound that confirmed this and his eye lids drifted open and shut.

We stayed like that until the sun was hardly visible anymore. I was shaking now from the cold. The door swung open and I jumped up frightened from the noise that broke the stillness of the evening.

"Dinner time." Sam smiled at me and Jacob as he made his way out with a tray of steaks and other assorted meats. Jacob lopped onto all fours.

"I'm going to get my coat." I told the Jacob wolf and went inside. I heard my phone beeping from the other room. I had four missed calls from Edward. Six unread messages from Edward and one new message from Alice.

Alice 8:03P.M. Bella, call me immediately. Something has happened. Someone is heading this direction. BTW I think Jacob's back I don't see you. Please don't be dead. Call my brother he's about to break to the treaty line.

I tore the charger out of the phone and dialed Edward's number. Of course he answered on the first ring. "Bella, where have you been?"

"Hey I'm fine..." I paced in front of the living room window. I jumped back and screamed as a wolf popped up in front of the glass, his front paws hitting the glass. The Jacob wolf let out a quick bark.

"Bella?!" Edward screamed on the other end.

"It was just Jacob. It's nothing." I quickly responded.

His end went silent. I took a deep breath and stared at the wolf in front of me. "Jacob's back. Everyone is back, I think they're all okay."

"Congratulations then...I guess." And the phone went dead. I immediately felt regret telling him that way. He didn't deserve finding out like this. I stifled a tear and threw my phone down. The wolf staring at me let out another bark and cocked his head to the side.
