Hey everyone! :D It's update time and I hope that everyone is ready! Let's see a little action, but I'm in a really fluffy mood-so the next chapter might be fluff, what do you think? Thank you for reading, for the reviews and everything else. I hope that all of you like the next chapter and the story so far.
Enjoy!

I stare at the others, waiting in the clearing as Melanie paces back and forth in her wolf form. She seems okay with everything that has happened, or at least she's not vocalizing her complaints. My eyes flicker around the clearing and all that I can do is hope that he gets here soon, the way that I look at it is the sooner the better. Now he's not going to be happy with me and I know it. Right now I'm expecting him to run through the woods at me and try to kill me, but I won't let him. Did I kill Kris? Yes, I can't deny that. There's no way that I can go back and change what happened. I don't even know if I'd want to.
The snapping of a branch makes my head snap to the left, my eyes wide and staring into the trees. Everyone around me tenses and I know that they can all feel it too. Someone's here with us, but this someone is no ally of ours-but an enemy. I try to act confident, like I know nothing will go wrong and ready to fight. My mind is racing and I feel as though no matter which way I go, I'll loose. I'll always loose.
"Bella, honey. You stay here and we're going to search," says Edward and I just nod my head. What more can I do? Even if I tell him not to go, he'll go and I understand why; to protect me. He walks over to me and kisses me, lightly on the lips. "I'll be right back, okay? Just in case...remember what you learned and be ready for anything. I love you more than anything and will do anything-"
My arms wrap around his neck and I kiss him, a kiss that has so much meaning in it-only the two of us understand it. His arms are around my waist and he kisses me back. When we break apart, I stare up at him and he strokes my cheek, making me want to drop down to my knees and beg for him not to go out there without me. But I keep my lips tightly together, trying to give both of us what we want. Maybe if I let him protect me, he'll let me protect him too. Of course, I doubt that would ever happen but I can hope.
"I'll be right back, just stay right here..." whispers Edward, as he lets go of me and the second that his arms leave me, I feel cold-empty. He walks away from me, but turns around when he's about to go into the woods. "Remember, I'll be back in a few minutes."
I take a deep breath as he walks into the woods, after a few seconds I feel my muscles tense and I know that I need Edward next to me-always. Shaking my head, I try to get my head into this whole thing. What in the world is going on? My whole body stays tense and I try to stay in the spot that Edward told me to. After a few more minutes, my eyes flicker to where he disappeared and I stare at the spot, hoping that he comes out the second after, but he doesn't. My head snaps to the other side of the clearing and out walks Jacob, glaring at me. Embry, follows behind him and I tense, not knowing what to expect or what to do. All that I can do is stand here and wait for him to make his first move, after that...I'll be able to do anything and win.
"Bella, what have you done? You just ruined everything and now what am I supposed to do?" he growls at me, making me glare at him. Shaking my head, all that I want to do is pounce at him and attack him-rip his throat out, kill him like I did Kris. "Don't you understand that I have to stand by my family? I can't let you get away with this now, but maybe if you choose to come with me...I can forgive you."
"You can take that offer and shove it up your ass," I growl, making his eyes go wide and narrow. We glare at each other, now seeing each other as enemies-finally, he sees it. My eyes stay locked with his and I feel the venom building up in my mouth, ready to kill someone. "I only love one man and that is Edward, he's the man who I want to be with for forever. You can't offer me forever and I love him. Jacob, I've never loved you..."
At that Edward is at my side and I don't look over at him, my eyes stay on Jacob. They glare at each other and the next thing that I know, the two of them are fighting. Before I can get next to them, two wolves come running out of the woods, both at me. I jump out of the way and the next thing that I know, I'm being thrown out of the way. My eyes flicker around and I watch as Jasper fights two wolves at once. My heart is pounding as I watch him, I run back over but Emmett beats me there. Emmett grabs one of the wolves and throws them against a tree, but this only angers the wolf.
"Come here, puppy...come here," taunts Emmett, a wide smile on his lips. His smile widens as he stares at the two wolves, who are clearly angry. Slowly, he moves around but keeps his eyes on them, not letting them get an advantage over him. "I've never had an irritated pup before."
Reba and Landon jump at Emmett, he stands there and smiles like a kid in the candy store. I jump forward and wrap my arms around one of them, holding onto whoever it is-tightly. The sound of crushing bones, makes my eyes shut and I try not to listen to it, but I know that its happening. Seconds later, the wolf drops to the ground and is withering in pain. Quickly, I take a few steps back and she phases back, laying there on the ground-in pain, is Reba. A light cry comes from her parted lips and I stare at her, a part of me wanting to help her-but how? She's the enemy and the enemy must be destroyed. Before I can do anything, Emmett throws Landon in the same direction as Reba and I jump out of the way. My eyes flicker around and I watch as Edward mutters things to Jacob, trying to anger him-push him over the edge and make him phase.
"Bella, this is fun! Kill another wolf sometime soon," says Emmett, with a chuckle as he grabs onto Landon again and throws him against another tree. This time, the tree snaps in half and he stares at it in shock. "Looks like you and Edward had the go around with this place. I'm a little disappointed though, for some reason I was hoping for more wolves to play with."
Embry looks tired and his eyes meet with Jacobs, he gives a slight nod of his head which makes Jacob shake his head. A second later Embry phases and drops to the ground, gritting his teeth in pain before he stills and lets out his last breath. I let out a deep breath, happy that its almost over, but at that moment another wolf comes leaping out of the woods and ready to attack. Jacob runs to stand behind the wolf, who is growling at everyone and we all stop cold. There are more wolves?
"I will see all of you again, soon...very soon. All of you will regret everything and wish that you wouldn't have messed with me." His eyes flicker onto me as Edward's arms wrap around me, sparking annoyance in his eyes. My hand reaches up to rub Edward's arm. "You will be mine Bella, soon...I promise you that. Soon, you will be with me and you'll be happy there, until my last breath."
He turns and walks away, with the wolf staring at us, waiting for one of us to try to attack. Everyone stands here, in shock and looks at each other. What is happening? More wolves? This is pure insanity and it has to end-soon. I want things to go different next time, I want to be the one to kill Jacob. My eyes flicker over to Landon, picking up a sobbing Reba and he glares at me. Now, I'm going to be even more hated by them and I couldn't care less. A part of me thinks that I should have bitten her, made it so that she couldn't phase and now there's nothing that I can do about it.
"Bella, are you okay?" He spins me around in his arms and I smile at him We stare at each other and lean in at the same time, our lips meet, making both of us moan. "You did a great job and I'm proud of you. I guess...that you really can take care of yourself, but it scares me to see you fighting."
I wrap my arms around him and smile up at him, pressing my lips to his jawline. My eyes stay on him and I stroke his cheek, hoping that he won't do anything to protect me, getting himself killed. After today, I hope that I've proven what I can do. Of course with Edward, he sees it as his job to always protect me.
"We'll get them, but I think that we might need a few others to join us. Jacob made it sound like he has other wolves on his side and they can phase," he says lightly and strokes my cheek. His lips press against my forehead and I snuggle into him. "Rachel and Rebecca took the others, not wanting to fight anymore. He only had Embry, but now I see that he has a larger number of followers than I thought."
I run my fingers through his hair and look into his eyes, trying to smile. "We'll take care of this and be together, forever. You'll see."
He picks me up and I let out a light sigh as we run back to the house. Once the door is closed, he presses his lips to mine and his hands roam around my body. I hold him tightly to me and a small smile forms on my lips. We have to relieve our stress in some way and I feel like this is the perfect way to. Tomorrow morning, we will talk to the others about what's going to happen. But for now, its just the two of us and that thrills me in more ways than anyone could imagine. My fingers tangle in his hair and I hold him tightly to me.
He lets out a light chuckle and our lips part. "Bella, be careful and don't break me."
"I just want to make sure that I have you forever. You know me, I'll never break you." We smile at each other and I brush my lips against his. "Do you think that we'll get to live forever together? Because forever to me without you, is unimaginable."
His fingers brush through my hair and he smiles at me, nodding his head. "Yes, we will."
:D Okay, I promise that the fight will come soon but what do you think about a happy chapter next? Or do you want me to get right to the action? I hope that all of you liked it. (Hm...I rather enjoy writing some action, but I'm in a little bit of a fluffy mood, so let me know what you think about the next chapter?) Thank you for reading and please leave a review.
PLEASE READ: Most likely there will not be an update next week-but there will be one the following week.
