AN: Btw, this chapter, PLEASE DON'T YELL AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It changes everything...
Last Chapter
Charlie knew something had happened, so, I told him. I didn't want him to become Volturi dinner, so I convinced him to move to La Push, so that he would be safe at least most of the time. Whenever he wasn't fishing or patrolling the area. But it didn't matter. He and Billy died three years later. Charlie was shot accidentily and Billy had a heart attack soon after. His health was declining and Jake said it would be soon for him anyways. I stayed with Jake for another two years.
Chapter 36 (Bella's POV)
"Bella? I need to talk to you." Jake said, after getting dressed from his shower. I was still in bed. I couldn't sleep unless I was totally exhausted. Which only happens every few months or so.
"Yeah?" I sat up on the bed, looking at Jake. He wouldn't look at me, though. He kept his eyes on everything but me. "Jake? What's the matter?"
I put my hands on his shoulders and rubbed them. His tension dissipated. But only a little. I wondered what was bothering him. He rolled his shoulders and stood up. "Bells, you know I love you. But…"
He looked away from my gaze. I knew immediately what he wanted to talk about. I stood up and went over to him, standing in front of him. "Jake, its okay. I know you just…"
I didn't want to say the words, so I didn't. They were too painful. "I'm sorry Bella, but I want a son or daughter. And I just-"
He cut off his words and let out a frustrated growl out. I bit my lip, and lifted my hand to cup his cheek. "Don't worry. I'll be gone by the time you get home tonight."
He stared at me before crushing me to him. He started sobbing and ranting on, "Bells, I'm so sorry, I love you, but I want a child. And I just.."
He couldn't talk, neither could I. I knew that this day would come. Jake was still young, he could still fall in love. I stood up on my tippy-toes and kissed him sweetly. "Don't worry about me, Jake. I'll be fine. I love you."
"I love you too, Bells." He let go off me. "I-I don't want you to go though. I-"
"Jake, I'll always know you loved me. But you need more. And I can't give that to you." I kissed him again. "Now, go. And remember Jake, be happy."
Before he left, he gave me a deep kiss. One full of passion like I've never had before. He whispered into my hair, "You be happy too, Bells. I'm so sorry."
He left the house, and that was the last time I saw Jacob Black. I went to Emily's house and told her bye. She was sad to see me go, but she knew it was past time.
Before I left La Push, I put most of my money into Jake's funds. I also put some into Sam's and Emily's. I had gotten the money through a wire transfer from Alice. It was right after the Volturi incident. She had written a quick note along with the money,
Bella,
I hope you use this money wisely. Knowing you, you probably won't use it at all.
But please, take this. It's the least we can do.
We'll be seeing each other in the future. Of that, I have no doubt.
It's just a matter of when.
Your best friend, Alice
I figured, since I didn't have anywhere to go, the Denali coven would know where the Cullen's were. I kept a little bit of money in my account to get me places. So, I bought a white and blue striped Viper (AN: My fav car!!! Never gonna get it, but BELLA IS!!) and started my road trip up to Alaska. But before I could leave Forks, I said good-bye to my father and his best friend. They were buried right next to each other. My mother and Phil had pretty much forgotten me. But as long as she was living and happy, it would be fine. They were in each other's company and that was fine with me.
As I drove, I pondered. What would have life been like if I was full werewolf? What would have happened if I had to join the Volturi? The Volturi regained power. The trio was still alive, but not a single guard lived. Or existed. There was talk that their good friends, the Doralius clan, was planning to overtake them.What great friends, huh. But they haven't yet, which is surprising. Maybe they just want the Volturi to be able to fight. Or maybe talk was just talk.
I stopped the car, parking it on the side of the road. I didn't know where I was, but somewhere in Canada. I needed to go hunting. As I got out of the car, I noticed a smell on me. Jake's smell. His scent was on my clothes, on me, on everything. I tried looking up at the moon, to see if it was full, but the forest trees were blocking the sky. I sighed as I walked into the forest, missing Jake and everybody. At first, I just walked, in a daze, until a came across a vast area with no trees. But that wasn't the thing that surprised me. No, it was a pack of werewolves growling at something in the tall grass. They all surrounded it, snapping. I laughed, it looked like a regular dog barking at a turtle or some other small animal. Except these were bigger and meaner.
They all turned to me when I laughed. They immediately left whatever it--I saw it, a small boy, jump up and ran away, going in the opposite direction as I. The wolves came towards me, but didn't growl or anything. Probably still smelling Jake's scent on me. But once they smelled the vampire in me, they would attack. But only alphas could tell for some reason. Kade did. Jake did, but he doesn't really count. And also the visiting packs that came to La Push after the Volturi incident, only the alpha would know. And sometimes even they couldn't tell. They would only smell Jake's scent on me, and my scent that smelt like I was human. Or at least that's what Jake said. I don't really know. I couldn't tell.
The alpha was questioning me with his eyes. He knew something was out of whack. But he didn't know what. I sighed and plopped down on the grass. If I ran, they would just chase me down. And they would know I was a vampire. Most packs don't know that there's a female werewolf. Or at least somewhat of a female werewolf. In fact, only one pack other than Jake's and Kade's knows this. And for one reason only.
I was running with the pack, it was months after we got back. I went at least once a week with the pack. Sometimes every day. But it all stopped when I met another pack and they immediately knew I wasn't male. It was a lucky thing that I was with my pack, or the other ones would've jumped my bones. After we explained everything, me being more vamp than wolf, they didn't have that much interest and soon left. Anyways, after that, Jake told me that I shouldn't run except within La Push and with him or another pack member.
I snapped back to reality when I noticed that all the men had changed forms. Nice, perfectly shaped, forms to be exact. I quickly adverted my gaze to the alpha's face. He smirked, knowing what had happened. His warm, deep tone, awoke me completely from my daze, "So, what's a lovely lady like yourself doing out here all alone?"
He stepped closer, blocking my sight to the other guys. I didn't trust them. I could hear their footsteps as they went around me and spread out, as to circle me. "I think you already know. Don't you?"
He laughed, it was deep, but enticing. I really needed company, didn't I? And I've only been on the road for a couple of days. His voice once again brought me back to present, "Yes, of course I know what your doing out here." I nodded for him to go on. "Hunting us." At that moment all the wolves came within three feet from me. Some stayed behind, just in case I escaped. "But you won't be able to do that anymore, bloodsucker."
I was surprised, I haven't been called a bloodsucker since I don't know when. It had been years, that was for sure. "What makes you think I want to kill you?"
He gave me a cold glare, "You have another werewolve's scent on you. Since your fine, you must of killed him. You won't ever again."
"Okay, first, I've never killed a wolf or even harmed one." He looked at me still with his cold glare. "What you don't believe me?" He shook his head and laughed.
"Believe you? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard." I could hear laughing from the others surrounding me.
I looked up at the sky, this time seeing it. It was a half moon, but was still beautiful with its glow. "What makes you think I'm a vampire?"
He didn't see this one coming. He shifted side to side. Like I said, only some alphas sensed it. The other wolves didn't. They were just following whatever their boss told them to. "Aren't you?" He tried putting confidence in his voice, but failed.
"Mmmm. Maybe. Maybe not." I laid back in the grass, closing my eyes. I just wanted to enjoy the last few minutes of my life. When nobody said anything, I opened my eyes to see a wolf looking down at me. He came closer and closer to my face, until he stopped. And licked my cheek. "Aww, now I have doggy slobber!" I said, teasingly. But I didn't move. I mean, I didn't want to die yet. The wolf shook with laughter and fell back. I supported myself on my elbows and looked at alpha male. He still didn't know what to make of me.
Finally he gave up. He sat in front of me, and asked me, "What are you then?"
"Would you believe me if I were to say human?" He shook his head. Nope. "Well, I don't think you'll believe me, but..."
I stopped, sensing something. Or someone. But the feeling passed. I went on. "I'm a dhampire."
His comeback was quick. "Next. No such thing."
"Seriously."
"Nope, next lie." He said simply.
"Hello, alpha male, I'm serious."
He towered over me, pinning me to the ground. "Show me." And I did. They were stunned, but as I looked into the forest as a wolf, I sensed something I didn't when I was in human form. Somebody was out there. And it wasn't werewolf.
Here's Jake's summary of why he wanted Bella to go:
The pack loved Bella, but they were tired of all the people-leeches and wolves- that had been coming around here. The elders and the rest of the pack wanted her gone. They actually threatened to kill her if she wasn't gone within the month. She was causing harm to La Push and the surrounding areas, by just being here. She healed Emily's scars for heaven's sake!! And helped her through childbirth-three times!! I argued, and argued and argued, but the more I did, the more persistent and the more the pack wouldn't listen to me. They wouldn't even come to the house anymore. Bella had noticed too. She knew something was wrong. She knew it from the moment I was about to tell her. Hell, she knew it before me. I didn't want her to leave. I loved her. And I knew that she loved me. Just not as much as she did Edward. Those Cullen's hadn't come back and we hadn't smelled a scent of them since Volturi. For that, I'm glad. If they came back, Bella would've left me. Though, it would've been easier, wouldn't it. Then she wouldn't be so heartbroken. I tried to Bella that it was me wanting her to leave, so that she wouldn't hurt as much. Being hated by a whole town. The day I told Bells that she had to leave, was the day I quit being alpha. I quit being a wolf. I left the pack. I warned them, that if she left the area, I would leave the pack. And I did. I didn't have any family left anyways. I had no mother, no father. My sisters were gone, so really, I didn't have a single person. Except Bella. And now she's gone. I lost her forever. Before I left La Push, I went to the bank and transferred my money to a national bank. I didn't know where I would go, but it would somewhere far away. That was for sure. I might come back. Might not. The cash in the bank was about thirty times what it used to be.
Bella. She must have put it there. Thinking I would stay in La Push. My hometown. Maybe I would see her one day. I hoped so. See her beautiful face and gorgeous brown chocolate eyes. I closed my eyes, remembering her. I remembered her silky, soft, fur when she turned into a wolf. It was the most beautiful sight I ever saw. She was stunning as she pounced on me. We were having a fight, and she got mad but she was just acting like it. I thought I would have to fight her off, keep her from killing me. It was a sore topic we were talking about-the Cullen's. Anyways, I closed my eyes and held my hands out in front of me, but she tackled me to the ground, I was changing forms while I fell. She pinned me underneath her and grabbed my muzzle. She thought to me. Now who's the big bad wolf? She laughed her usual laugh. Come on, Jake. We have to make supper. You don't want the pack to starve, do you? She released my muzzle, but licked my face and nudged me. Then she did something unexpected. She collasped on me. It knocked the breath out of me, but all she did was laugh and change back. I did too. And started tickling her. Our clothes were shredded, and I could see more than ever on her.
I awoke from my memories when I saw Sam across the street. He was looking at me, sad. What does he have to be sad for? He didn't lose a mate, a pack, a family, a life, all in one day. He just lost a pack member. What was I to him? Nothing. He didn't even try to get me to stay. None of them did. I think that they didn't think I would actually leave. But here I was. Leaving this town behind. I started my car, and left Sam behind. I left the pack behind. I left my old life behind. But one thing I didn't leave behind were the memories of Bella and I. I would always love her. But we both knew this day would come. So after a few years, I knew I would have to leave those memories behind too. But for now... I treasured them, and kept them close. Never forgetting.
So...DON'T BE MAD AT ME!!!!! Jake was just getting too much pressure and everything from his pack and the elders. Plus...Jake knew Bella was getting tired of staying in the house all day, doing nothing. Especially in the last month before she left. Emily was being rude and ignoring Bella, not speaking to her. The pack was always quiet around her. And Jake...he always had a sadness in his eyes. Like he knew the time was coming for her departure. So...Please???? Don't kill me?????
