Okay, I'm at a crossroad, a fan sent me a link to another fan-writing site. A "writer" was copying my story word for word, posting it only one or two days after i would post mine here. I feel well annoyed and I know it isnt that big a deal but the least they could do was give me credit for it!

I kinda lost my track with this story and I'm really sorry!.. Ideally this can go on for more than 40+ chapters and I even planned a sequel but I really don't know if i can even finish writing 3 chapters let alone more.

I hope you like this chapter, it was something I had been anticipating writing for so long! and even a fraud writer who carelessly copies my work and writes it off as his/her own couldn't stop me from posting it.. But i can assure i wont desert the story without an ending.. its the least i can do!

Read,review, the whole shinna-nigan.. I miss my readers!

Chapter 28 – Name me your everything, leave me with nothing.

I was muted, as I watched Jacob question Alice, with Quill and Embry right beside him. My eyes had fallen on Bella, she looked so torn. From the look on her face, it dawned on me that she must be scared out of her wits, just as much as or probably even more than I was.

I blinked as Alice spoke smugly to Jacob,

"Everything just disappeared, of course" I froze. Finally cottoning on to what they were talking about. I looked between Alice and Jacob, and back again,

She spoke civilly, "That's inconvenient, but, all things considered, I'll take it."

Bella stood on her tiptoes, trying to reach eye level between Alice and Jacob. Alice, she could accomplish easily but she would need more than to be on her tiptoes to reach Jacob's height.

"Wait, wait, wait" She interrupted.

"We'll have to coordinate," Jacob said. "It won't be easy for us. Still, this is our job more than yours."

"I wouldn't go that far, but we need the help. We aren't going to be picky." Alice replied

"Coordinate?" I spoke, still trying to soak in what they were saying.

"You didn't honestly think you were going to keep us out of this?" Jacob asked, his eyes hovered over me.

"Alice — tell them no!" Bella insisted. "They'll get killed!"

Jacob, Quill, and Embry all laughed out loud. I felt a muscle twitch to form a smile but couldn't from the worry settling in. I remembered that night in the clearing, when I had found out they were wolves. The agility in which the moved, how they appeared to be flying rather than running, their lean muscles all of that showed me they could take on the newborns without any trouble but I still didn't like the idea.

"Bella," Alice said, her voice soothing, placating, "separately we all could get killed. Together"

"It'll be no problem," Jacob concluded.

"How many?" Quill asked eagerly.

"No!" Bella shouted.

Alice didn't even look at her. "It changes — twenty-one today, but the numbers are going down."

"Why?" Jacob asked, inquisitive as to what could be killing off the vampires.

"Long story," Alice said, suddenly looking around the room. "And this isn't the place for it."

"Later tonight?" Jacob pressed.

"Yes," Jasper answered him. "We were already planning a . . . strategic meeting. If you're going to fight with us, you'll need some instruction."

The wolves all made a face , they clearly didn't like the idea of being taught how to fight something they were born to kill.

"No!" Bella moaned.

"This will be odd," Alice said thoughtfully. "I never considered working together. This has to be a first."

"No doubt about that," Jacob agreed. He was in a hurry now. "We've got to get back to Sam. What time?"

"Three O'clock, About ten miles due north of the Hoh Forest ranger station, you'll be able to follow our scent in."

"We'll be there"

Before my senses had flown back to me, Jacob was already half way to the door, his movements smooth as the people of the dance floor divided to let him and his abnormally large friends through.

"Jacob, Wait" I ran after him, before he reached the door I grabbed the closest bit of him I could reach, and held on to the warm grey fabric of his t-shirt.

"Are you – are you sure this is – a reasonable idea?"

"Come on, Nat, it'll be a breeze."

"Jacob!" I admonished, "This isn't a game, and this could get dirty. Someone could get hurt"

"Nat, you can't seriously be doubting us"

"Damn Jake, it's not that. But you can't just take it easy, it's bigger than that. It's not one stray vampire you can tear up in the blink of an eye. They're newborns; they're fast, incredibly strong and absolutely vile. Fuck, I've seen them with my very own eyes. I just don't want you acting like a fool"

He sighed, and took my hand in his, "There's honestly nothing to worry about"

"I know but I wouldn't want to lose you over anything foolish you might d-"I relented; He bent to kiss me lightly on the lips.

"You're my everything Natalia; I would never do anything foolish enough to make me hurt you."

"You're everything?" I stuttered, mindlessly I may add.

"My everything" He grinned before leaving me with another warm kiss. Though this time the warmth didn't just linger on my lips, it travelled throughout my whole body leaving tingles up and down my spine. Until it reached my heart, warming its cold entity in a way no other could.


"Dang, you're slowing us down sis." Emmett grinned as he left me in his wake. I let out a frustrated sigh and pushed back up, trying to catch up with him. The rest, minus Edward, were way ahead of us. Edward was running slowly, for fear of making Bella, who was perched on his back, sick.

I stopped as soon as Alice and Jasper's back came into sight, breathless from competing with Emmett, though there was no doubt he would win. I watched as Bella and Edward came into view, she gingerly slid of his back, his hand hitched steadily on the small of her back.

I focused on the sky above, the full moon sent out a cold breath of light that deceived me, seeming to illuminate, but tricking my eyes. Unsurprisingly, there were clouds to defy the moonlight, and as if they had teamed up, the cold hang like eerie mist in the air. My eyes fell on my family, as they loosely formed a line. Rosalie grabbed my hand and gingerly pulled me to her side, She didn't like the idea of me coming. Jasper and Emmett were at the spear point, but Carlisle stood a few feet ahead, cleary intending to talk to the approaching wolves first.

"Whoa" I heard Emmett mutter.

There under the moonlight, 10 wolves walked out. Their furs were glistening, at the reflection of the moonlight. At the lead was a midnight black wolf, an auburn shaggy wolf flanking him closely. I smiled involuntarily at the sight of Jacob's Wolf.

Carlisle stepped forward, "Welcome" He greeted them.

Edward, whose eyes were on Sam as he spoke out loud what was going through the Alpha's head, sounded flat. "Thank You"

Jacob kept pulling faces at me as the exchange between Carlisle and Sam continued, I had to put in a lot of energy to prevent myself from laughing at the way Jacob's tongue lolled out of his wolfy grin. The atmosphere suddenly changed as Jasper stepped in the middle of the two division of supernatural. All eyes fell on him.

"Carlisle's right." Jasper spoke "They'll fight like children. The two most important things you'll need to remember are, first, don't let them get their arms around you and, second, don't go for the obvious kill. That's all they'll be prepared for. As long as you come at them from the side and keep moving, they'll be too confused to respond effectively. Emmett?"

Emmet stepped forward like the burly, lovable giant he is, unable to contain his happy nature. Jasper explained to the audience the nature of a newborn attack before taking a few steps back, his body tensing, as he prepared to demonstrate with Emmett. Jasper's movements were like an ethereal element, fluid in speed and elegance. And though Emmett was fast, Jasper always had one up on him. As Emmett's hands enclosed on Jasper, I would be so sure that Emmett had won but then I would blink and Jasper was somewhere else. I focused on the wolves ahead of me, their bodies were tense as their big wolf eyes focused on Jasper and Emmett. After Emmett, Alice danced her way through. Before I knew it, Edward, Rosalie, Esme and Emmett, once again, had fought with Jasper.

Jasper turned to the wolves, confirming the end of the session, "We'll be doing this tomorrow. Please feel welcome to observe again."

"Yes, we'll be there" Edward once again spoke for Sam. Edward then turned to us,

"The pack thinks it would be helpful to be familiar with each of our scents — so they don't make mistakes later. If we could hold very still, it will make it easier for them."

Carlisle agreed without a beat, obviously thinking it was a good idea on their part. Sam approached first, his movements elegant despite his size. The pack's movements moved closer to him, all were probably not so keen at letting their alpha come so close to the vampires without them. Jacob's wolf was the biggest after Sam's, though for how long it would be that way I didn't know.

Almost as if he felt my stare, Jacob left the line while the eyes of his pack followed him. He approached me, He bent down slightly, so as to have his head level with mine. Jacob's smell never ceased to entice me, although I would never hear the end of it if I admitted that to him. It was the perfect combination of forest and musk, with a hint of cinnamon. The fur, naturally, was as soft and warm as Jacob-Human was. I knotted my fingers deeply through it, his eyes closed when I reached his neck.

"Jacob, we shouldn't be spending much time when you're a wolf" His eyes snapped open, his head cocked to the side as if asking me why. I leaned closer my nose touching his muzzle. "I will probably start to like you better as a wolf" I leaned to kiss the tip of his muzzle but before I could he knocked me to the floor and trapped me under his four legs. He ran his slobbery tongue from my forehead to my chin, laughing a deep throaty rumble as I protested.

"Okay I take that back. I prefer the less slobbery human Jacob" I yielded; He released me from his hold allowing me to stand up. It was then that I realized everyone was looking at our exchange. My family all held disgusted and somewhat sickened expressions. Except Rosalie, whose face held a small smile for two seconds before she replaced it with her usual indifferent visage. Edward's face went beyond disgusted, he looked incredibly furious. I was sure if I let my imagination play only by a little margin, steam would be escaping his ears. Jacob's head turned back to the pack, as if they were calling his name. He let out a little whine before pressing his nuzzle to my neck one more time and leaving to join his pack. Jacob stopped in the middle of the clearing, his eyes on Edward.

Edwards face was hardened, "We've not quite figured out all the details yet,"

Jacob muttered darkly in response, but Edward remained unmoved.

"It's more complicated than that," Edward said. "Don't concern yourself; I'll make sure it's safe. She is most likely to be with Bella since they both need guarding. We cannot leave her in the reservation for fear that this whole thing may be set up by the Volturi"

Suddenly, Edward tensed. I had a sneaky suspicion they were no longer talking about the arrangements for the fight.

"At least I can promise Bella my love forever, I won't end up being tied down to another woman and leaving her broken hearted."

"Edward!" I gasped, taking a step forward but Rosalie put an arm out in front of me, preventing me from going further. I looked at Jacob, my eyes pleading him to stop. But he was focused on Edward, Jacob's mouth pulled upwards in a wolfy smirk causing Edward to wince. That led me to think that Jacob was showing Edward images of how Bella must have looked when he left her.
"Jacob, please stop!" I cried; Jacob's eyes flickered to me for two heartbeats. That was all Edward needed, he ran to Jacob, snarling as he threw a punch on Jacob's side. Growls filled the air as the rest of the pack felt Jacob's anger. I pushed Rosalie out the way in my urge to stop the fight. Everything happened quickly then, I held my hands outwards at the precise moment the Jacob pounced on Edward, his teeth ready to sink into cold flesh. I felt a sharp pain run up and down my arm as gasps escaped from the surrounding onlookers. The pain didn't faze me for too long as my eyes locked with Jacob's. They seemed almost alien to me now. The emotion imprinted on them too was familiar, but I could not recall seeing it for so long. I felt my heart drop and I let out an involuntary whimper at the sight of the amount of regret I sensed in Jacob's eyes. I weakly reached out to touch his fur, tears now escaping my eyes. Before my hands could wrap around his copper warmth, he took a step back, shaking his head before bolting out into the lining of the forest. I blinked and the last thing I could see was auburn tail before it too disappeared into the darkness. Leaving me with nothing.

Preview - Chapter 29

"Jacob won't come back. We will fight the battle without him on one condition - Natalia; you are no longer allowed to cross our land and I can assure you that after my Alpha command, Jacob will never attempt to approach or reach you in any matter or form. You're half-vampire and He's a Wolf. You cannot fight nature; you and him were never meant to be, he will imprint and forget about you."
