Chapter 25: Finally it's time!

"It's for you." He said in a monotone looking at me. Now, he cares about me? Should it make me think how sweet he is? Because he is so not doing a good job in that. I want him away from me. I was about to reply but-

"Hey Jake!" Bella said practically throwing herself on him. Jacob was looking at me; he looked hard at me for a moment before he hugged back Bella tight and then place a kiss on Bella's forehead.

"Hey Beautiful." Jacob said looking down at her and she was smiling up at him. I swear that it physical hurt me; I placed a hand on my stomach because I was getting a really nauseous feeling. Kodo rubbed his head on my leg in attempt to make me feel better but it wasn't working. When did he get here? Someone placed a hand on my shoulder and I looked back to see Quil looking at me sympathetically. I was practically begging him for help, he placed a hand on my lower back, I looked ahead again to see Jacob glaring at Quil but he didn't budge and kept his hold on my firm.

"Hi Bella." Emily said coming from my right, she didn't hug her but her voice wasn't showing any enthusiasm.

"Hi Emily." Bella said while letting go of Jacob but still sticking to his left side. Her small hands holding his large ones. "Hi Quil." She said while looking at him.

"Hey." He said his voice showing no emotions clearly stating that he is not interest in talking to her. It was like he was just doing this as a formality, like he was not even bothered by her presence but was just being nice to her. Then she noticed me and her eyes turned hard. She was glaring dagger in my direction but I'm just starting to find her actions childish.

"Hi Elena." She said tightly, clearly not wanting to greet me. I can't understand one thing, if she didn't like me and I don't like her then what's the point in being fake in front of each other. Have some guts and tell that to someone's face that you don't want pretend to be nice. Why is she doing this? Just wanting to be nice in front of everyone? Or not wanting to spoil her image as a sweet, innocent and caring Bella in front of her Jacob?

I just scoffed and then turned around to walk away. I can care less about her being feeling insulted. I might actually like this.

"It's rude not to greet back." Jacob's hard voice stopped me in my tracks. I heard Kodo growl at him. I turned around sharply, my eyes reflecting Jacob's emotion. What I wouldn't give in this moment to kill Jacob and Bella? Seriously, what the hell is there beef with me? It's my decision whether I want to greet anyone or not.

"Well, I prefer being rude than to be fake." I said bitch-ly and Bella clung more to Jacob at the tone of my voice, that coward. I put my hands on my hips.

"I was just being friendly."Bella said timidly. Oh please someone shut her up before I do something that she will regret!

"I know that you don't like me or probably you hate me but I was trying to be your friend and it will be nice if you don't ignore me and cooperate with me." She said trying to be all sweet as sugar on me but it was clear from her voice that she has no intentions of being my friend or being even nice to me. It's all just a façade.

"Hate You? Puh-lease, I have better things to do then to hate you, so as to save my time and energy I just pretend that you are dead." I said and I seriously have to give myself some credit for shutting her up like that. Emily looked like she was containing in her laughter. Bella's mouth was hung open, Jacob look at me disbelievingly and angry at the same time. Quil was chuckling beside me. I heard some wolf whistles which I know that was the work of the boys. I wonder how they even are able to hear us. Oh yeah, they are werewolves, why do I keep forgetting that?

'Ooo Burn!' I heard someone shout…possibly that's Paul. I mentally rolled my eyes at him. I looked at Bella with a smirk on my face. Bring it on Bella; my bitch mode is so on! Thanks to Jacob.

I saw her getting red from being embarrassed in front of everyone. Believe me, I'm not the kind of girl who likes to embarrass someone in front of everyone. I'm against that, but Bella is so an exception. I just know that she is not nice, call it a feeling or your conscience telling you, but I just know. And seeing that no one here except Jacob is a fan of her boosts me up a bit more.

I just chuckled and shook my head at her, she is just speechless. I turned around again but this time a small cold timid hand stopped me, Bella. Nerve of that girl to touch me! She really didn't get a hint right?

"I was just being polite, okay? No need to insult me like that!" She spat at me and she still didn't let go of my hand. I was looking at her hand holding mine. She touched me?

"Insult you? Well, I don't remember insulting you, but if the shoes fit, feel free to wear them." I said and this time I have to give credit to the awesome quotes I read on net. They are helping me so much in my life! Quil was smiling like an idiot and Emily was proud for some reason.

Bella was tightening her hold on my hand. And it wouldn't be wrong to say that it hurt me because I'm not made of steel, I'm a normal human.

"Let go off my hand." I said calmly. She still has a chance to save herself before this little scene get to a whole new level.

She just smiled at me. Oh Bella, that smile just doesn't suit your face.

"Bella, let go." Jacob said trying to get her back. I was thankful that at least he has some brain left in him. Bella just ignored him. Really? She wants to start a fight? She thinks that she can really provoke me for a cat fight? I hate cat fight, I really do. Fighting with a girl just seems odd to me, I like watching two girls fight but imagining me doing it is not cool. I can fight with a boy, I love to do that. I can hurt Bella easily, and I'm far from joking.

To everyone else, it will seem like Bella is just holding my hand, but I know how much pressure she is putting in it, if I get a bruise there, I will literally kill her. I already have enough bruises, thanks to Jacob and Edwin.

She dug her nails deep into my skin, so deep that little bit of blood started to come out. I saw her smirking at me. I guess I was just underestimating her, that girl has some guts, but that's all is going to go in vain. It was all red I see now. And I see someone getting beaten up by me. That will be Bella.

Jacob still doesn't know that she dug her nails into me and bit of blood was coming out. Well I didn't expect him to see that. Of course even if I tell him that he will just blame back the whole thing on me, because his little precious Bella is innocent.

"You are crossing your limits Bella, I'm seriously advising you not to do anything you'll regret later." I said looking her dead in the eyes and she still didn't loosen her grip. That's it then.

"Elena, I swear if you hurt her, I-"Jacob started but he didn't get to finish his sentence because I slapped Bella right across her face. There was silence then. Pin drop silence. Oh, I can't even begin to describe how nice it felt to slap her!

"I warned you." I said casually holding my left hand in my right, trying to wipe that little blood. Bella had mixed expression on her face, hurt, shock, surprise, and many others.

"How dare you?" she said and then raised her hand to punch me. I easily caught her hand in mid way. She seriously thinks that she can slap me? Elena Anderson? I won't let anyone touch me without my permission and she thinks that she can slap me? I'm a damn royalty just to add, I have self respect. Of course Bella has that too, but it looks like she doesn't care about it. I tried to ignore her foolishness but I think that all that happened today get on my nerves and she just pulled the trigger, poor Bella. But I think she deserved it.

"Don't you dare do that again." I said in a dangerously calm voice stuffing some sense into her. She was looking at me with little bit of fear in her eyes. That's right. There was a dangerous stare down between us two and of course I won.

"How dare you hurt her Elena?!" Jacob shouted at me and it hurt me that he care about her so much that he shouted at me. Of course he won't see what she had done to my hand, but I won't show him that, because I now that he won't care whether I die or not. He freed Bella from my grasp, pushing me back a little in the process. Kodo was about to launch at him but I stopped him.

"Jake." Bella said crying her crocodile tears and clinging onto Jacob.

"Hey, it's alright, are you okay?" he asked patting her head. I fought the urge to roll my eyes. Oh my god, Bella is hurt so bad! My foot bad. I thought sarcastically.

"Someone call an ambulance." I muttered and Embry snickered. When did he come? I looked around to see Quil and Embry standing on my left and Paul was still a few meters away, now he decides to walk slowly! Jacob glared at me pure hatred in them, I felt sick, nothing new.

"You know how much trouble you have caused on us?" Jacob shouted again and someone please shut him up.

"She asked this for herself, and I don't think that I have to give an explanation to you. And if you are so scared of the Cullen's saying something to you then don't be, I'll handle them myself." I said in a monotone. He is just a coward.

"You won't go near them." He said grabbing me by my upper arm. His hold was far more painful than Bella's. It was like my bone will crush any moment. Bella was smiling a little.

"Jacob you're hurting her." Sam's booming voice filled the silence. He was holding Claire. Quil immediately took Claire in his arms. Jacob looked at Sam clearly telling him to stay out of this. Then he started to shake.

Quil walked to a distance with Claire, Sam put Emily behind her, Seth was holding was Bella, and Embry was now beside Jacob. Oh, what a posture they all had. They are just being over-dramatic about it.

"Well, I've told you this before, and I'm telling you this again, you don't own me." I spat the last part at him daring him to make me change my mind. His eyes were black now, anger evident in them.

He just chuckled darkly, I looked at him confused. He is chuckling; well that was an evil chuckle.

"I do own you!" he said each word menacingly. For that moment I can see the animal in him. And I was sure of one thing, he was not joking, he was far from joking. I was lost in his eyes again. There was so much truth in his that little sentence. He owned me? I'm supposed to feel angry?

Then why does it feel so right? I was breathing heavily. All this is just too much. He comes to me whenever he likes then throw me away just as easily. He makes fun of me. He himself doesn't know what he is doing and he comes and tells me that he owns me? Is this all a damn joke? Why am I so attracted to him? I'm going to kill him. His hot breath was hitting my face but I stood on my ground and glared back at him.

Bella was looking at me with so much hate but that doesn't even bother me. She can go to hell.

"In your dreams." I said and snatched away my arm from his grasp. I looked at him with surety in my eyes. He was glaring at me. He seriously thinks that he can make me scared by shaking and glaring and shouting? I'm not Bella.

"Is Unwcle Jawcey gowing to hurwt Auwnt?" Claire said scarily holding onto Quil. My head instantly snapped in her direction. I did not want Claire to see all this. For god's sake she is just a child! She is not supposed to see all this. Jacob was still shaking, that's when it clicked me. He can phase! Again that butthead is only thinking about himself but not the people around him. I can see the fear in Claire's eyes.

"Stop." I said to Jacob sternly. His shaking lessened a bit but he didn't stop completely. I will not let him phase with all of them so close to him. I thought about slapping him but that would just trigger his anger more. Bella took few steps back. Why? Bella is his best friend right? Then why she is not stopping him? He is not going to hurt her right? She is just what I thought, a coward and fake. But I'm neither of it.

"She's scared." I said barely more than whisper referring to Claire. "You are not an animal Jacob, stop this right now." I said with authority in my voice looking directly into his eyes. His eyes widened at my statement and it looked like finally some sense made its way into his head. He let go of me instantly. Bella was scared to go to him.

"Tell your precious little Bella to stay away from me, because if she dared pulling this kind of little stunt again then I'll show her the full movie, because what happened today was just a trailer." I said and then looked at Bella. "Keep that in mind." I said to her snapping my finger in her direction. She was about to say something but-

"Keep your mouth shut, you bitch. No one cares what you have to say." Paul said carelessly coming to stand on my right, close to me. Bella slightly scared by Paul's presence and voice.

"Don't talk to her like that." Jacob said to Paul, they both had a stare down competition before Paul said something very right.

"She is one who gained this type of respect from us by her bitchy actions, and I don't think that you should give anyone more respect than they deserve." He said looking at Bella and I was beaming proudly. Paul is one hell of a best friend.

I just looked one last time at her and Jacob and then turned around to walk away from them all.

"I knew that you are a badass." Paul said resting his hand across my shoulders. I rolled my eyes at him. He and his potty mouth. "But you should be more careful around Jacob though." He said showing his concern now. I was about to say something but suddenly Embry came to my other side.

"You are one hell of a girl Elena." Embry said from my other side. I smiled at him.

"Yeah, I know." I said and he laughed at me. He finds that funny? We just walked. Soon Paul ran to resume their paused game.

"You are a brave girl." Emily said coming to me and I get a feeling that there was double meaning to what she said but I didn't ask her that. Soon we reached the spot where a little blanket was laying.

"You are so awesome!" Seth said coming out of nowhere and lifting me off the ground. Okay I understand that he like me but he is just so damn cheery all the time. I find that cute though.

"Thank you. Thank you." I said laughing.

"Bella seriously deserved that." Embry muttered and I nodded. "You are brave enough to stand for yourself, not like her, vulnerable." He added.

"She pulled the wrong button today." I said sighing. He nodded and then left to play again. Claire was riding on Quil's shoulder, giggling continuously. I was just sitting with Sam and Emily. I think that Sam doesn't talk much because I haven't seen him talking much except when he is with Emily.

"You are not afraid of Jacob, are you?" Sam asked me and I startled by him speaking to me. His voice was thick and authority, but this time it was a friendly chat.

"Why should I be?" I asked him back. Emily was just taking so much interest in our interaction.

"He could have lost his control, and you were close to him." he said and his voice was hard for some reason. Emily rubbed her hands on his broad shoulders, maybe trying to make him feel better.

"Well, I wouldn't have let him phase this near to me." I said and Emily smiled a little.

"How can you be so sure of yourself?" Sam asked.

"I'm not sure of myself. I'm sure of him; he won't dare do that with me that near to him. Because what Emily told me about him, he used to have a heart, and if he still has that then he wouldn't have done that." I said and Sam listened intently to me.

"But if in some case he lost his control then, I will make him remember who he actually is." I said and I seriously have no idea what I just said but it felt right so I said that.

"And even if that doesn't work then I will just have to beat him up." I said shrugging and Emily chuckled at me, Sam smiled a little.

"He is a wolf." Sam said trying to put his point.

"Well, I'm Elena." I said smiling a little Sam just shook his head at me. I looked back to see Jacob and Bella sitting near the shore with Bella's head on his shoulder, they were stick with glue, I think. Jacob turned his head and caught me looking at that, but I didn't turn my head away in fact I looked back at him. I was hurting really badly. I was getting a weird feeling.

"Hey Seth! Bring that Ball!" Paul shouted and I looked at guys playing in front of me. They were bickering over something.

"I will not bring the Ball, Embry threw it there!" Seth complained and I rolled my eyes at them.

"Alrighty Boys, I'll bring the ball, happy?" I said and then started walking towards the edge of the forest where I could see the ball. I was getting an eerie kind of feeling. I just shook my head and reached the ball.

"Ahh!" I held my head, it was paining. I didn't say that loud enough for the others to hear them. It was the same pain, I had a moment ago. Why is this happening to me? Again and again? What's wrong with me? I somehow manage to pick up the ball and then turned around to walk away.

I heard something move behind me. I stopped in my tracks and then slowly turned around. There was nothing.

"Maybe it's just my head." I mumbled to myself. I was about to start walk again but-

"Well Hello there." An icy cold voice stopped me dead in my tracks. I knew this voice very well. Victoria. Seriously? More drama. I should be crowned 'girl-who-has-more-drama-in-her-life-than-a-daily-soap-serial'!

"Oh, not again." I groaned letting the ball fall on the ground. My day just got worse, if possible.

"Elena Run!" I heard someone shout but I know that there is no point in running. I looked back to see Jared moving a Claire and a confused Kim while Quil was with Bella. I was glad that they were taking Kim and Claire to a safe place but I could care less about Bella. After all she is the one who started all this right? How? I don't know that yet.

Victoria moved in a flash and the next thing I know we were running in the forest with me on her draped across her right shoulder. Come on. How weird it looks to see a girl lying on another girl's shoulder? But here one is a vampire. So that changes thing.

I looked up to see huge wolves running behind us. Here comes my rescuers'.

"You are not gonna get away with this." I said to Victoria, my head was hurting due to the fast speed and blurring images around me.

"We'll see." She said in her bell like voice.

"You are after Bella then why do you want me?" I asked with great difficulty.

I can see a russet colored wolf running in the front with a Black colored wolf. Jacob and Sam. There was a deadly look in Jacob's eyes. Another Wolf, a smaller one joined the race. By her features she seemed a female. Oh, so she is the same female wolf I've seen earlier. She was pretty fast.

Jacob wolf growled ferociously and then speed up. He was near us, but Victoria was fast nonetheless. Okay, I admit that I'm a bit scared but then again I'm riding on a freaking Vampire! Anyone will be scared, but I'll try my best not to show it though.

"You will be a great use to me." Victoria said and just then the Russet wolf smashed himself on Victoria. That stupid just forget that I was there too. I feel myself flying and then suddenly my body hit with something hard, very hard. The air knocked out of me. My head was spinning, and I'm damn sure that I'm injured, badly. I tried to get up but it was pretty hard to do that. I somehow managed to sit.

My hand instantly grabbed my head which was now bleeding profusely. I looked straight to see Victoria and Jacob growling and snarling at each other. Jacob was pretty close to me. Slowly and carefully, not taking his eyes off of Victoria he moved closer to me and nudged me.

"Stop it." I hissed looking at him with rage in my eyes, not for him though but for that undead creature standing over there.

"Oh Poor Elena and her mutt." Victoria started and instantly my blood boiled. I managed to stand up with the help of Jacob's body.

"I'm gonna kill you." I said menacingly and for that time I was sure that I will be the one to kill her. "I promise that I will kill you." I said again with surety in my voice.

"I would love to see you try." She said but then suddenly she inhaled the air and her eyes darkened; she was looking at me like she was looking at a prey.

"Oooh your blood is even sweeter than Bella's" she said and took a step forward. Jacob growled and stood in front of me hiding me from her. Other wolves circled her. But she was not a bit afraid.

"Get back!" she snarled at Jacob and was about to hit Jacob in the face, I don't know what came over me but I stepped forward.

As soon as her hand was about to touch Jacob, I grabbed her hand.

Did

I

just

grab

a

vampire's

hand?

Victoria's eyes widened, along with mine and everyone else's. How did I?

How on the earth is that even possible?!

A different kind of energy filled my body, I was feeling powerful, and I was feeling different. My heart was beating fast, and it was like I was the only one standing in the forest, all alone. I was feeling strong but I was scared shitless.

"How did you?" Victoria said but soon she was being tackled to the ground by Jacob. I was still in shock; I walked backwards until I touched a soft fur. It was a short sandy colored wolf, Seth. But that didn't matter to me now. I was seriously freaked out. Victoria pushed Jacob away from him and he landed on the ground with a loud thump. A sudden pain shot in my body, my head was throbbing with pain. I looked up and saw Victoria running away, with every second passing.

Soon something warm was holding me. I was tightly pressed up again a warm chest. I cling onto Jacob trying to process everything that just happened a moment ago.

"Elena!" Jacob said trying to get me to reply. He was pressing his hand against my head to stop the bleeding. "You will be fine." He said but that was not what I was worried about. "Sam! She is not responding!" Jacob shouted and then I was being surrounded by everyone.

"I think she is in shock, she hit her head pretty hard." Embry said kneeling beside me.

"Jake you fool, didn't you see that she was practically on that red head when you decided to smash her?" that female said.

I was looking straight ahead in the trees, like any moment someone will walk out. I struggled to get up, Jacob was holding me down.

"Get away from me." I said but he just ignored me. All the day's event was really getting to me. First the vampires, then the wolf's, then Bella, then that Red head and then that crappy feeling and sudden strength of mine to stop a freaking vampire. What the hell is going on in my life? Suddenly air started to blow fast. It was like it was changing with my changing mood. I was breathing heavily; I was damn angry and tired.

What the hell is going on with me? That pain, that scene, that red headed wanting me? Why me?

"Elena." Someone said and all of our head snapped in the voice's direction. There stood Patrick leaning against a tree looking at me and Jacob. I heard Jacob growled from my side. I was too angry to pay attention to anyone else this moment.

"What the hell is going on?" I demanded slowly and dangerously. I didn't care whether my action offended him or not, I want answers and I will get them this time. I never behaved like this before.

"What the hell happened a minute ago?" My voice boomed in the silence of the forest. I was referring to that whole strength thing.

"What is going on here?" Jacob said through gritted teeth.

"I think it's time for you to know." Patrick said more to himself than to me completely ignoring Jacob's question.

"I think it is." I said and everyone watched me and Patrick, we both were just looking at each other. I know that Patrick knows exactly what's going on with me. And I will get those answers at any cost.

Finally, it's time.

A/N: HO! HO! HO!

SOOOOOOOOOOO? How was it? Bella get beaten up by Elena! There will possibly be more of it in future! : ) I can't tell how much I enjoyed writing that scene! And I'd love to write more of it!
