Author's Note - Sorry it's been so long guys, I'm really glad that you're still reading this. Some of the reviews I get are so encouraging... I haven't been writing much since I've started college... But I swear on pain of death I'll try to write more.
Anyway... Enjoy and please review!

Bella felt her stomach churn as she stood on the porch watching the pixie like creature drain the young deer of it's blood. Alice looked up after a while, her eyes a butter like colour, her lips a blood red. Bella couldn't hold her stomach no longer, she ran into the house to throw up.

"Thank you." Alice looked at Jacob, who was disgusted in what he'd just seen. "Relax Jacob, you'd eat it and you know you would. Were the same."
"We are nothing alike leech; I've done your favour now I want you to hold up your end of the bargain. You will leave her alone now. She is mine." He growled, stepping closer to her until he was an inch away from her face.

"Done deal." She grinned; she raised herself onto her tiptoes and kissed the tip of Jacob's nose. He retorted in disgust, stepping backwards, screwing his face up as if he'd been given the kiss of death, upon unscrewing his face, Alice had gone.

Bella emerged through the door, holding one hand on the frame for support. She looked at Jacob, who was looking straight back at her with a troubled look on his face.

"What is it Jake?" Bella asked, coming closer to him, wrapping her around his form from behind.

"I don't know if I should tell you this." Jacob answered, staring blankly ahead. "Let's go inside, it's cold."

Bella knew for a werewolf to notice the cold, it must be bad news. Weres only ever felt the temperature in extreme emotional confusion. She wrapped her arms and slowly wandered into the house.

"What is it Jake?" She asked as soon as he'd shut up the front door. He turned to look at her, he looked her from her eyes to her toes, then back up again, noting to memory how beautiful she was.

"It's the Cullens." Jake began to explain as he sat on the couch. "The Volturi have found the Cullens."

"So?" Bella dismissed what Jacob was trying to say.

"Bella, the Cullens are the ones who uphold the treaty, the Volturi can drain whoever or whatever they want, as long as we don't catch them." Jacob raised his voice in an attempt to stress his point. "The Volturi are starving the Cullens. They're not allowed in or out of their own home. Instead the Volturi are sending people in. They're trying to crack the Cullens. They're all slowly dying, and they all know where you are, if they crack, we're in trouble Bella."

"No Jake." She said sitting beside him, dazed, everything beginning to settle in. "No, we're not in trouble, I'm in trouble. I'm the one they want."

Jacob swiftly moved his arms around her shoulders drawing her close, resting his chin softly on her head, breathing in the sweet scent of her hair.

"Bella you're wrong, we're in this together. You're troubles are my troubles. I exist to protect you." He said into her hair, kissing the top of her head.

"What are we going to do Jake?" Bella whimpered.

After a moments silence Jacob cleared his throat, this emotional strain was becoming too much for him.

"There's several options, but first we need to tell Sam." He sniffed up, bottling all emotion until later.

Bella leant upright her head in her hands, she was shaking her head trying to clear her thoughts. Jacob's hands met her own, prying her head away from them, they sat there in stillness, looking at each other.

Jacob was the first to move, he cupped her face with his hand, using his other one to brush back her hair, still looking straight into her eyes. He used his thumb to caress her jaw line.

"You should call Sam." Bella said, breaking the momentary silence.

Jacob pressed his lips to hers gently.

"Maybe Sam can wait?" He said kissing the tip of her nose lightly. "I want to know what's going on in your mind, the last thing I want is a hysterical Bella when Weres are around, we don't do well with stress."

Bella was physically taken back by what Jacob had said, as if he'd slapped her in the face.

"So if Weres can't deal with stress, why are you here?" She asked, ready to jump to conclusions and start hurling accusations.

Jacob effortlessly scooped her up in his arms, then onto his lap.

"Don't tell anyone." He said drawing closer to her, his hand sweeping her hair behind her ear. "But I love you Bella, that's why I'm here. I'm here until you don't want me anymore." His hot breath trickled down the side of her neck, giving a chill down her spine.
