The Devils Game

Disclaimers in first chapter and love to my reviewers!! Hope this chapter keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Bella and I were greeted with two men fighting each other...and I was sad to see that Edward was winning. Only because I knew this was going to be a shot to Jacobs pride. Both were snarling at each other as they threw punches here and there. I knew that Bella wanted to do something with me to stop them from fighting, but one stray punch could kill us both.

"Jake thats enough!" I called crossing my arms.

"Edward don't beat him too hard!" Bella called slightly amused. I looked at her hoping that she didn't mean it but then smiled,

"Care to make a wager?"

"How much?"

"Lets say 20?" I replied taking out my wallet with the money in my hand.

"Deal." Bella said laughing as we watched more punches and grunts. After a couple of moments both stopped as they sucked in huge amounts of air. True Edward didn't need it, but Jacob sure did. His eyes glared at Edward as he clutched his arm.

"Thank you Jacob that was indeed a lot of fun. Shall I kick your ass another time?" Edward said a little smug as he adjusted his white trim shirt and walked over to Bella. She held out her hand for my money and I groaned.

"Aw man...a deals a deal though." I said putting the money in her hand as I walked up to my beaten hero. His shirt was ripped and his arm had a few bruises that would be gone in a couple of hours due to his werewolf gene.

"Hey there Big Guy." I said lightly rubbing his arm as I knew he wasn't happy.

"I lost." Jacob spat as he spit some blood on the ground. His pride was defiantly hurt.

"Jake its OK don't worry about it. You weren't really trying to hurt Edward were you?" I asked feeling his arm tense.

He smiled, "No of course not." He was. Sighing I patted his back feeling a scrape there that was already healing.

"Oh Jake." I laughed as we joined Bella and Edward. Jacob picked up my shopping bags and didn't give Edward another look as he headed towards the car. Indeed he was acting like a sore loser, but that's how Jacob was...Turning to Bella I smiled and said,

"We will have to do this again sometime."

She nodded and said as Edward took her hand in his, "I'd like that a lot. Does tomorrow sound good?"

"Sure." With that I gave a light good-bye to Edward and ran after Jacob who was already in the car. During the drive back we didn't talk at all about the fight since I knew that I would never hear the end on how he cheated, or how he made a stupid mistake when he ducked the wrong way.
As we drove back to my apartment he seemed to have calmed down more and his face wasn't stuck in a angry grin.

"What was wrong with your arm?" I asked since it looked tender.

"Leech broke a bone."

"Oh my god should we get you to a hospital?" I asked worried.

He laughed and looked over, "Nah its already healed." I hated that he could do that.

Suddenly he stopped the car and I put my hands out in front of me which resulted in hitting the dash board. Just as I was about to swear and ask why he stopped so suddenly Jacob got out of the car and locked the doors. I panicked and opened my window to call for him,

"Jacob whats wrong?" I asked before he ran over and hushed me.

"Kara hes here." he said growling. He? Oh god...John was in my apartment.

"Stay here." he said. I was too scared to be left alone,

"No I'm coming with you." I said unbuckling my belt and put my hand on the door handle.

"No...hes killed here." Jacob said never taking his eyes off of the building.

"Oh my god..." I said. There were dead people in my apartment right now, and a man that wanted to kill me was also in there. Where was a pen and paper to right down a scary movie plot when you needed one?

"Jake don't leave me here like a sitting duck." I said opening the door and got out, only to have Jacob place his hands on my shoulders.

"I don't want you to get hurt in there...or die." he said gripping me tighter on the last word. Guilt welled up in me at the idea of him not knowing what I was planning on doing to help get rid of John. Sam and Bella both said that I had a fifty fifty chance and I knew that they were right,but I had to do something.

"Jake I'll be ok as long as your with me." I said hugging him to me. I felt him pull away and I knew that he wouldn't let me come...but when his lips pressed heavily and urgent against mine I knew that he was just as worried. I returned his kiss with just as much love and passion, but like I had told him before, a kiss would not stop me from my goal.

"Never leave my sight." Jacob said death gripping my hand as we both walked carefully through my apartment complex. There was blood on the walls...I was afraid that maybe everyone here was dead. Feeling my stomach knot and twist I clung to Jacob as we walked up into the area where my room was. The door had the nine number hanging off of it and the door had bloody scratch marks on the door. The wood had claw like impressions cut into it and I think Jacob knew just as I did that John would be right behind my door.

As we walked closer I saw another door open which was a neighbour of mine. A hand covered in blood was hanging through the opening. A small gasp must have escaped my lips since Jacob held my hand much more tighter to his. I had never seen anything dead before...other than on TV and the death of my baby bunny,
but this was someones hand and their blood seeping through the door; I will never forget it.
Jacob placed his free hand on the door and lightly pushed it open as he poked his head inside. I felt and heard him snarl at something in the room and he pushed me behind him.

"Ah I was wondering when you would be so kind to grace me with your presence." I heard Johns voice say.

"Get.Out." Jacob said clearly trying to not change in front of me just yet. Anger was pouring off of his body and I could feel his temperature rise along with the hate and anger that he was feeling. I moved from behind him slightly to see John sitting on my new couch with my apartment completely ruined. The furniture that Jacob and I had worked so hard on making was in pieces and splinters on the ground; my clothes were ruined and torn all around the area,
my pictures from home and dance recitals were ripped up like a bad credit card bill. My laptop was in two on the ground just below his feet...he had destroyed my life.
Now it was my turn to feel angry and rage.

"You did this to my home?" I seethed wanting to wipe that satisfied grin off of his face. John shrugged his shoulders and lifted his hands so that his palms were face up,

"Well I had to do something while I waited for you."

Jacob growled, "So killing innocent people and drinking their blood wasn't enough for you?" he barked moving in closer as I followed close behind.

John laughed and gracefully got up to walk slightly up to Jacob. His body and hands were covered in the blood of my neighbours, and his once white teeth that I remembered were silk with red. His eyes no longer covered by the sunglasses proved to be even redder than the blood: blood lust.
"Don't feel that way lad, I was only a little thirsty and the blood of the inhabitants here proved to satisfy my desire."

"There all...dead?" I asked feeling sick to my stomach.

"Ah there you are my dear, I was worried that you wouldn't come home! Oh I know you must enjoy the warmth that your wolf here and give, but I can assure you that his thoughts were not as pure as yours." John started before I heard bone breaking for the second time this night.
Jacob lunged for John as I heard and saw them slice at each other. Soon Jacob's once tanned body was replace in a split second to revile his wolfs true nature. His long hair matched the hair that now covered his large body as he swiped again and again at John.

John grabbed Jacobs arm that Edward had already hurt that night and I saw his arm twist behind his back until a pop was heard. Jacob cried out in misery as John had dislocated his arm. I screamed and made a move to run for him when he fell to his knees, but he stared at me with his large wolf eyes telling me not to come any closer.

"Tsk tsk, such a pity." John said attacking Jacob again as he threw him out the window and into the gravel below. I ran after him down the stairs as I heard John laugh behind me as I tried to run as fast as I could. Finally I made it outside to see Jacob in a ready position to fight John who was right on my tail. Jacob made a run at me and I ducked down only to hear him collide with John who was right on top of me, and threw him to the ground. I heard a tear and a cry from John as I looked to see Jacob with a piece of Johns arm in his mouth. The sight made me turn away from them and hurl my dinner onto the ground. This was all too much...it was like an arm for an arm.

Looking back John used his one remaining hand and grabbed his throat and tossed him to the side as if he were a rag doll, and then used his razor sharp nails and dug into his chest.

"No Jake! Get off of him!" I cried picking up a large piece of wood from the now broken building and aimed to hit John, but when I got close enough, he moved so fast that he was a blur before I felt his arms grab my legs and tripped me to land on Jacob's furry body. I moved to get up when I felt blood on my face; Jacob had a wound in his chest and it was his blood that was now on my lips and face. I felt scared and went to grab his muzzle when Johns ice cold arms wrapped around him waist and threw me into the wall of the apartment complex. I felt my head crack as the impact of the concrete connected with my head. My arms and legs hit the wall hard and I knew that his throw had broken more than just a few bones in my body. Pain seized my mind as I could suddenly feel all the pain in every inch of by body..I couldn't move.

"That's it lass just lie there." John laughed as he lifted me off of the ground by my shirt. I cried out from the pain that he inflicted on my body when he had moved me.

"Ill make the pain go away." he said as he looked at me with his red eyes and I licked my lips tasting Jacob's blood on my tounge just as John pressed his lips to my neck and bit down hard.
