It's been a few weeks since the big fight. So, things were finally calm. Well, calmer than the usual. Apart of me felt so much better now that I knew Victoria was gone. But, it was bittersweet. All those innocent people that she turned, they are now dead for sure.

After leaving Jacob's house that day, I went to talk to Rachel about the blood lust. She was unsurprised that it kicked in and admitted that's one of the reasons she didn't want me on the battlefield. The reason it kicked in was because I was greatly wounded and it if wasn't for the Lycan side of me taking over, I would of died. There was a simple solution to avoiding the black outs, going hunting every two weeks.

Even though I hated the thought of hunting down animals, it was the best way to go. Otherwise, I'm more likely to have another freak out and hurt someone. I'd never forgive myself.

In the current moment, I was getting ready to go see Jacob. I was half way down the stairs when I heard something I didn't ever what to here.

"Dad, Edward and I are engaged."

I was quick to speak my mind. "Are you really going to get married at eighteen? You haven't even lived yet." That statement went a lot deeper than dad probably thought.

Bella's eyes were quickly on mine. "It is my decision, Spencer. I'm sorry it doesn't live up to your expectations."

Soon, I was in my car, racing to La Push. I wasn't sure if should go to Jacob's or not. I had no idea how he would react to this news.

So, I went to the next best person. Paul.

I banged on the door; it surprised me that I didn't somehow damage the door.

Paul was quick to swing the door open. "Whoa, Spence, are you okay?"

I invited myself in. "That fucker! I can't believe he did this shit. For a vampire, he's pretty damn stupid! Seriously, how the hell could he do that? She's still a kid!"

A pair of hands laid on my shoulders, turning me around. "Breathe and tell me what the hell you are talking about."

After taking a deep breath, "Edward asked Bella to marry him. She said yes and just announced it to my dad."

Paul's eyes widened. "Does Jake know?"

I shook my head. "I was supposed to of gone over there but, I didn't want him to see me so angry. Who knows how he will react to this news."

"You have to tell him, Spence. Before anyone else can. If you don't, he'll freak out and maybe run." Paul frowned. "If you are the one to tell him, you can calm him down before he does anything he doesn't mean."

"You're right. Wish me luck."

Jacob was already waiting outside for me with a grin. Which made it even harder to tell him this news; I wanted him to stay this way. The happy Jacob was what I loved to have around. But, telling him about Bella's engagement to a vampire, itself may change this.

Taking a deep breath, I got out of my car.

Jacob automatically frowned; he probably noticed that something was up. "What's wrong?"

"Promise me that you'll stay calm." I muttered while reaching out and grabbing his hand.

All he did was nod, looking confused.

Sighing, I gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "I'm just going to spit it out. But, just remember, I am here for you. So, please don't run off when I tell you this." I waited for him to nod before I continued. "Bella and Edward are engaged. I know you're probably just as pissed off and upset as I am. But, please, don't leave."

His dark eyes were on mine. "Spencer…" Jake pulled his arms around my waist. "I might not be thrilled about Bella being married to a bloodsucker but, I would never leave you."

"I… I just didn't know how you would react."

One of his hands was used to tilt my head up as his lips reached mine to leave a short, but sweet kiss. "It's me who should be worried about you. Bella is your little sister." He frowned slightly. "Are you okay?"

I looked down before meeting his eyes again. "I don't know… I don't know if I can take loosing another family member. All I really have is my dad and her. My mom's side of the family was never really around." I quickly blinked and tried to push the strong feeling of sadness away. "We may not get along but, she's my kid sister."

Jacob's warm hand held mine. "Let's go inside."

We ended up in his bedroom, lying in his bed and his arms wrapped around me.

"I hate seeing you so upset." He muttered before kissing my forehead.

I sighed, snuggling closer into his side. "I don't know why this is so upsetting. I knew this day would come sooner or later."

"It's different from it actually happening. But, you do have me and the rest of the pack. That won't change."

I smiled slightly before kissing his jawline. "You're amazing, you know that right?"

He smirked slightly. "I do now." Jacob ran his fingers through my hair. "You should wear your hair down more."

That's how we spend the rest of the day, laying in each other's arms and stealing kisses. After watching several movies, I managed to doze off.

The scene before me was very familiar. It was the house I grew up in.

As I walked forward into the house, I began to feel even more confused. The door was already cracked open and I slowly made my way to the kitchen. The usual warm and familiar home was now cold, dark, and eerie. Something was wrong.

"Mom?" I called out into the dark home. "Are you here?"

Suddenly I was thrown into a wall. I looked up to see my mother but, at the same time, it wasn't her. Her usual tanned skin was white as snow. Her bright blue eyes were now black. The smell of rotten flesh was coming from her.

"M-mom? What happened to you?" I asked with a trembling voice, unable to move from my spot on the floor. "Why do you look like this?"

Her neutral expression turned dark. "Why didn't you protect me? You let me die."

Victoria showed up behind my mom, hand on her neck.

"Please, don't!" I screamed but, it was too late, my mom was on the floor, lifeless.
