"So after you return back the shield, you start blabbering that shit again to me. I am tired; you can't just bog me down like that every time. Stop it, Jake can't come running all the time to comfort me and clear the mess you leave behind all the time .what had Jacob wanted from you …to feel an ounce of love that he had for you. What did you see in Edward save for a nice face,"I said to her astral form in acidic tone while we walked towards the car parked by Quil.
"He used to be so sad and broody, Bella till I came in his life .I couldn't leave him after I had promised to stay. I love the family too "she replied instantly.
"Now your poor Edward baby has grown enough, to not be broody and the family except for Rosalie and Emmet go goo goo after your to me your husband is a person who acts as a greedy selfish child according to me "I snapped back when I noticed Quil coming back.
When I reached the car, Bella's astral form disappeared with a glum face telling me that she will look in dark magic practicing people before disappearing.
"Jacob's patrol is going to be over in an hour. Let's drop you home "said Quil when as we entered the car. While driving towards home he asked about the bottles,"are you planning to open homemade brew in your diner?" he continued with a grin.
"Nope. I plan to grow some plants in it and place in the restaurant. It will look nice; just you wait after I complete the work" I said happily.
"Really, got to see it to believe it. I think it will look like Claire's science project gone wrong "laughed Quil as he killed the engine. I saw the red house which was now Jake and my house. I would have ignored his teasing but few minutes ago a minor spat with Bella's astral form had soured my mood.
While getting out of the car I said to Quil "I am tired, Quil. Yeah we will see about that. You just hope I don't complain about this to Jake for troubling me."
I saw Quil leave with a frown on his face while I entered the porch. I laughed out loud when his car was nowhere to be seen by my eyes; it was so much fun in teasing Quil when he goes boisterous.

I reached home late from patrols. The tribal elders wanted to discuss after I was leaving for home. They said that the other tribes magical and shape shifters should practice with our shape shifters first and I told them about the meeting about the vampires with my wife. The elders decided they will decide the schedule after our meeting with the vampires at Port Angeles diner. When I told them about the dark magic part that Quil had heard between Bella's and my wife conversation and relayed me as I was running patrols, old Quil paled and decided to work with the shamans and magic practitioners from tomorrow.
When I went home after the hectic meeting I saw bells was fast asleep on Rachel's shoulder and she was stroking her hair. My lips turned into an upward smile, Paul cleared his throat and passed me a thick sauce covered pasta laden plate to me.
"Is she fine, asleep at 9.30?" I asked Paul as I took the plate after cleaning up myself.
"Yeah, she's fine. She waited till your scheduled time to come home after patrol and helped in making pasta. Then your wedding photos CD came and Rachel showed her those on her laptop. She just plopped asleep on Rach's shoulder in the middle. Guess she's tired." Paul said .Rachel giggled when she heard our conversation, guess the photos were nice "finished uploading "I asked her.
"Yes bro, on mine, yours and Belle's newly created Face book and Instagram profile. I got cool comments as well on my profile. They did a wonderful job" Rachel replied while I finished my dinner. As I washed my plate, Paul watched the photos and awwed with her.
"Really Paul, we are not babies. It's my wedding photos and video you are watching "I said while wiping the counter. After wiping I sat with them and saw the photos and truly it looked so beautiful. "Thanks a lot, Paul and Rachel. It's the best gift you have given me "I said while hugging them both lightly as bells was still sleeping on Rach's shoulder.
"What kept you long?" Paul whispered to me and Rachel too looked at me with inquiring face. I told about the stuff I had told to the elders and what they were planning to do in future.
"Don't worry ,Jake .everything will be alright. We will fight and win "Paul said and kissed my sister's temple to calm her. She appeared little pale when she heard about the matter.
"Yeah !both of you please be safe "she sniffled a little while running her fingers through bell's hair "I want her to be safe and happy. She's family, Jacob and I have started loving her too."
Paul squeezed Rachel's hand and then gently scooping bells in his arms took her in the bedroom while I watched the video with Rachel to change the mood. Paul came back within minutes I asked her "Did she wake up?"
"No, let me see. shh, see how Rach and I are looking so cool by the beach "I rolled my eyes and continued to watch on, the best day of my life.

Jake and I had gone on cliffs .it was beautiful seeing the waters below at night and a clear star studded sky above. Jake laid a picnic blanket on the ground and patted the space next to him .I went and sat near him. His arms came around my shoulders and brought us more closer to each other. I sighed in contentment "it's beautiful here ".
He spoke huskily in my ear"you are beautiful "and when I turned he kissed me gently. When I put my hands around his neck I heard a growl and later in a moment my back was touching the blanket with Jacob hovering above me. I smiled at him and he nuzzled in my neck "I want you so much, bells"
Then I replied with desire dripping in my voice"then make me yours "Jacob looked seriously at my face searching for any doubts on my face. Seeing none on my face, his hand slowly skirted on the hem of my dress. I closed my eyes in anticipation welcoming the warmth starting to wash over me. I was startled when I heard "keep your filthy hands to yourself "
Jacob growled and stood between Edward and me. I asked surprised at his audacity to disturb us and shouted, "What are you doing here? How dare you disturb intimate moment between me and Jacob? "
He laughed an evil laugh and suddenly Esmond from nowhere caught me and made Jake and me immobile with his spell. "You have to die bells, I want my Bella back. I miss rough shoding over your weak, unfaithful sister "saying this he bent Jake's head at an unbelievable angle while Jake looked at me with love still last breath."No, Jake" and felt someone shaking and calling me.
"Bells wake up. Jake is fine "I opened my eyes and saw I was in darkness and saw my sisters astral form talking to me."What were you dreaming?" she touched my head and got to see it. She removed her hand after seeing it and smiled at me. This pissed me off "why are you smiling so much? You saw my dream."
"So you are seeing the nightmare I used to see minus Esmond before I married Edward .so with your shield you get some of my memories too ." when I asked her did that it made her happy, sarcastically.
"I am smiling now coz Jake is watching your and his wedding video happily with Rachel and Paul,now. He's happy right now so am I .have faith on yourself, nothing will happen to him. I promise we won't let anything bad touch him or the tribe." saying this ,Bella's astral form soothed me.
"Thanks. I was feeling so scared. I love him too much even you know that."I said while going to lie on my bed and tried to sleep while closing my eyes."Bella, Edward is getting Tanya's family to help him. Eleazar has agreed to even talk with the dark magic practicing people. "
I opened my eyes "why? It is nothing new the Denali's are family, isn't it? Edward is great as hailed by one and all in your household."
She nodded "yes .I used to think it, too. I used to think that the Cullen family loved me too . I found it the hard way that except Rose and Emmet, no one cares a shit for me. To answer your unspoken question that why I stood against Edward after I became vampire is that being a vampire myself I could see through his lies everyday .but after two years of my transformation; when it came to berating Jacob in front of the family for no reason of his I couldn't handle my hidden growing frustrations anymore and stood against him."taking a pause for a second she continued
"When I was human he used to stop me ,what he thought was wrong and telling it was for my best. I was so desperate to keep him with me that I bowed to his will every time inspite of knowing it isn't right. "She ended it with a sigh and replayed her memories to show me that what sh e was telling me was the truth.
"Thanks sister I was itching to ask you that, finally you started answering me . I had always told you from start what you had with Edward was unhealthy. As a mind reader he could not read you very well but with Jacob even after transformation he could know what are you thinking even after the imprint with one look ."
"Yeah .I am going to look behind the dark forces. Good bye ,Bella "saying this her astral form vanished for the second time in front of my eyes.
2/Jan /13
I awoke to the quiet snoring beside me; Jake's breath washing softly across my face . Sunlight was seeping through the folds of the curtain. A tiny slit of light splayed across my bedspread until it finally reached my hand intertwined with Jake's resting on his bare chest.
