Jacob awoke in the middle of the night with tears falling down his face. Desperate for comfort, he hugged the closest thing to him, which turned out to be Zakura.

Zakura sighed. 'He's been like this since I've known him... There's got to be a way to ease his pain... I wish he'd talk about it...'

Tears continued to fall as he remembered the last moments of his dear friend. He had been chasing a vampire, only to have her jump off of a cliff. As he turned his head to check, he saw his friend leaping into the water without seeing the vampire waiting on her. 'Bella... Why didn't you wait?' He dove in after her but never made it in time. The vampire had bitten her and gotten away, and his pack would kill her if they knew. He had no choice. He set her on the shore and waited.

Help finally arrived in the form of a cloaked figure with pale skin. "Give her to me. I will protect her and teach her well, I promise."

"W-who are you?"

"That is of little importance. The girl will be safe with me, and you will meet her again someday... as well as me."

"At least take off the hood."

Carefully, the hood fell back, revealing raven-colored hair and piercing crystalline blue eyes. Two dog ears stuck out of the girl's head. "You can trust me."

Reluctantly, he picked Bella up and set her in the girl's arms. "I'd better see her again."

"You will. Oh, and Jacob?"

Jacob looked at her in shock. "Y-yes?"

"I have one request. The Cullens are in Greece. Care to get them and tell them Victoria is in Tokyo? Stay with them too, If you don't mind."

Jacob only nodded in response and took off in the direction of La Push.

"Jacob!" Zakura's yelp brought him back to reality. "Jacob... please... tell me..."

"I'm sorry... but I can't, Zaku." His eyes were instantly pulled to where two crystalline blue eyes stared at him from across the pitch black room.

"I kept my promise, Jacob." Luna voice whispered in a dialect only Jacob and her could understand. "She's still alive."

"Where? There's no Bella here."

"You only see names? Shocker. The girl is here, but her name isn't Bella. She had no memory of it."

"Tell me... What happened?"

Luna's Recount (in third person):

'God this sucks... I can't believe Lita has me out here in a fucking cloak, freezing my ass off, and waiting on a werewolf and a soon-to-be vampire! Oh! There they are.' She gingerly stepped out to meet the werewolf man as tears poured down his face. "Give her to me. I will protect her and teach her well, I promise."

"W-who are you?"

"That is of little importance. The girl will be safe with me, and you will meet her again someday... as well as me."

"At least take off the hood."

'Alright, sounds fair.' she gently pulled the hood off, revealing her dog ears to him. "You can trust me."

Reluctantly, he picked Bella up and set her in the girl's arms. "I'd better see her again."

"You will. Oh, and Jacob?"

Jacob looked at her in shock. "Y-yes?"

"I have one request. The Cullens are in Greece. Care to get them and tell them Victoria is in Tokyo? Stay with them too, If you don't mind."

Jacob only nodded in response and took off in the direction of La Push.

'God, not even a thank you? Gees! And I'm freezing my ass off here!' She carefully sat the girl down in a nearby cave and waited.

Three days later, the vampire awoke. Luna was sitting and watching carefully. "You ok?"

The vampire jumped at first, then nodded.

"Remember who you are?" 'Because I don't know you...'

The vampire shook her head and started rubbing Luna's dog ears. "Soft."

"Ok then... why don't I name you? How's about... Piper?"

"I think it'll work." The vampire continued to rub Luna's ears as she called Lita and told her of the new vampire.

Normal mode:

Jacob blinked for several seconds. "You mean... Piper is?"

Luna nodded. "Yes, Jacob. She's fine." She leaned over and winked at Zakura, who removed one bracelet fearfully.

'Oh god... What if we don't imprint? But I have to try...' Hesitantly, she opened her eyes and found herself lost in his. He was all that mattered anymore.

Luna silently tip-toed out, not seeing the brunette vampire who had listened in on the whole thing or the male vampire that was beside her.

Edward stared in disbelief at the girl beside him. 'This is... So I failed... Damn it.'

Piper looked up at him. "Could you... maybe... tell me what my human life was like? I only remember tiny fragments..."

Edward looked at her and a calm feeling came over him. "Sure."
