"So...you're a werewolf" I remark casually, as we walk down the beach.

"Yep. A few lucky members of the tribe have the gene."

"Ok, well, please tell me you guys aren't the ones killing people" I beg.

"We don't kill people, Ana!" Jake says, a bit offended, "The only thing we kill is….vampires."

"Jake, you can't-"

"Don't worry, we won't kill your precious Cullens" he says, a bit upset that I'm dating a vampire. "We can't touch them unless they break the treaty."

"That's not what I mean. I meant, you can't kill vampires. Not all of them drink from humans. The Cullens for example. As well as some of their cousin covens and a bunch of their friends. At least tell me you make sure they're bad vampires before you kill 'em" I beg some more. It wouldn't be fair if they didn't.

"But-"

"JAKE!"

"Look, I'll talk with Sam, but his rules go. If he orders us to kill a vampire other than a Cullen, vegetarian or not, we have to do as he says" Jakey explains, putting his hands up in a surrender pose, "However, you'll be glad to know that we took care of dreadlocks for you."

"You killed Laurent?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah. Tried to take care of that red head too, but we were only able to chase her to the canadian border. She keeps coming back, but we don't know what she's after."

"Me" I tell him, dead serious.

"What?!"

"Her mate tried to hunt me down for the fun of it. The scar you saw the other night, he gave it to me. He bit me, tried to turn me into a vampire, to make the game more entertaining for him. Edward was able to rescue me in time. Edward and his family killed him to protect me. Now, Victoria wants revenge, so she's targeting me to get back at him. A mate for a mate."

"Ana, this is serious. Come on, we have to tell Sam and the pack" Jake says, pulling me to Bella's truck, which we borrowed without telling her. Once we're back at Emily's, Jake hops out of the car and runs inside, and I follow as fast as I can.

"Sam! Remember the red haired vampire we were chasing before?" Jake asks, as soon as he enters.

"Uh, yeah. Why?"

"She keeps coming back because she wants to kill Ana!"

"WHAT?!" Everyone, including Bella, shouts. Bella runs up to me.

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

"I just found out, like, yesterday. And….then I forgot…." I tell her sheepishly.

"...YOU MORON!" she yells at me, smacking my head.

"OW!"

~Time Skip!~

"Don't worry, we've got this place covered. She won't be able to get to you, Bella, or Charlie" Jake assures.

"Yes, because a pack of wolves surrounding our house is much better. You do know dad is out hunting for you guys, right?" I ask him, with slight sarcasm. He just shrugs. "Just be careful. Don't underestimate her. She's strong. And fast."

"Your lack of confidence in us is a little discouraging" Jakey says, with a small smile, "K, well. I gotta go. Got a vampire to kill."

"I'll see you later Jakey" I hug him goodbye, before he runs off to help his pack hunt down Victoria. I head to my room and see Bella laying on my bed, waiting for me. When I enter, she quickly sits up.

"Help me!"

I sigh, "What is it?"

"I don't know what to do!"

"About?"

"Embry and Jacob, duh!"

"Bella, listen. I know this is a bit difficult for you, but it's your decision. Embry explained what an imprint is, right?" She nods. "Well then, the rest is up to you. It's your life. The imprinting, I know it means you're basically soulmates, but that doesn't mean you should let it control your life. Embry will always be there for you, no matter who you choose. That's the rules of imprinting and he can't help it. He's basically your own Edward. And Jacob, he's loved you for years, but if he didn't imprint on you, then he has his own out there. And, what if he finds his imprint? You'll just end up like Leah. I'm not telling you who to choose, I'm just giving you warnings should you choose Jacob. He'll understand if you choose Embry, though. But, like I said, it's your choice. Just….think about it. You'll figure it out" I pat her knee before she gets up and leaves for her own room. I lie down and Zerachiel hops onto the bed, laying down next to me. And we both fall asleep.
