I felt the warm sun on my skin and stretched my arms and legs. I realized two things right then, I had arms wrapped around me and I couldn't move. My eyes popped open and I looked around. My brain started to move in fast forward. This is not my room; this is not my bed and who the hell is this? Then I smelled the flowers and felt her warmth. I smiled and remember the beautiful night we shared. It wasn't a dream. Bella was right here beside me, hugging me, loving just me.
I took a deep breath in and just took in all the smells. I felt her shift and I looked down at the top of her head. She was running her fingers across my bare chest which gave me shivers. She giggled when I tried to move out of the way of her hand. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her up to my lips. She giggled more when I started to growl at her for running her fingers threw my hair. Her giggles slowly turned into moans the deeper I kissed her, I then started laughing.
"Where's Charlie?" I asked her. She shrugged, "He came in around 5:30 and then I heard the cruiser leave." She wiggled her way on top of me and started to move her hips. "We have the house to our," and before she could finish the statement there was a knock on her window.
What the hell? I thought. Bella jumped up and she forgot she was naked. She ran around her room trying to find something. I already knew who it was but I amused watching her get all stirred up. "Jacob, where is my bra," she whispered to me. I pointed to the closet. She looked that way and then back to me with a puzzled look. I shrugged my shoulders and went to the window. "Jacob, you're naked," she shouted in a whisper. I opened the window, "Yes Embry, what's up?"
He had his normal shit eaten grin on his face, "Get well rested last night?" He asked me with an eyebrow wiggle. I rolled my eyes and asked again, "What do you want Embry? I'm a little busy." Embry tried to look around me but my shoulders were wide enough he couldn't see Bella. "Well, Sam sent me to tell you that we will be training tonight with the vampires. He said that Bella will know where to take you but I'm sure you remember. It's in the meadow, the one we saved Bella at, you know." I stopped him there and nodded my head, "Yes, I remember where that is. What time?" Embry tried to look around me again, "Oh around 2am. That way we don't run into any parties and so on."
"Okay, got it. Is that all Embry?" I asked him. He nodded his head still trying to look around me. "Okay Embry see you then." I shut the window and Embry did a wolf call at me. The blinds then were shut and I turned to see Bella standing there red faced and holding a towel in front of her. I tried to not laugh but stumbled out, "What's wrong love?"
"He saw me didn't he? He saw me standing here naked?" I shook my head, "No honey, he was just playing. He didn't see anything or I would have seen him fall out of the tree." That made her smile a little. I scoped her up and laid her on the bed. I crawled up beside her, wrapping my arms around her. "Why didn't you cover up Jacob? I mean, when Embry was at the window," she asked in a small voice while running her fingers up and down my arm. I shrugged and chuckled out, "They have all seen me naked Bella. It doesn't bother me anymore. It use to at first." I kissed the top of her head and inhaled the smell. I'm going to enjoy every moment of this. I was still happy it wasn't a dream.
"So what do you want to do today?" I asked her. I was hoping that she would just say 'nothing'. She looked up at me with sadness in her eyes, "You really want to know what I want to do?" I looked into her eyes worried about where this may go. I nodded my head and she smiled at me. "I really want to go see the Cullen's. I need to talk to Alice and I really think you need to talk to them about this fight. Can we please go over to see them?"
The look in her eyes was of need. She needed to see them for whatever the reason. I took a deep breath and nodded my head. She squealed and threw her arms around me. I laughed at her reaction which made her wiggle around me. Of course other body parts started to realize that she was naked and I could feel ever inch of skin. My hands started to trail down her sides which made her shiver. I sighed at the reaction and started to kiss down her neck. I continued my attack until we both reached the release we needed.
She wanted to see the Cullen's; I can do this for her. As we got closer to the house, I could feel myself becoming more tense. You know, I could really use a wave of calm right now. I thought to myself.
When we reached the house, Edward and Jasper were standing outside. I opened my door and felt that wave of calm. I smiled at Jasper and whispered thanks. He just tipped his head, like he was wearing a hat. Edward extended his hand and I accepted it. Alice was by Bella's side before I knew it. I still had to get use to how fast they were. Edward chuckled then and nodded his head. He must be reading my thoughts again. That is so annoying but yet I feel sorry for him. I wonder if he can control what he hears or if he hears everyone at once.
Edward turned to me and nodded, "Yes Jacob I hear everyone's thoughts all the time. I have to single in on someone, just to hear one thought. If not, it's like white noise in my head. I have learned to ignore it, but I'm trying to figure out why you are here. Of course Alice couldn't see you guys coming because, well you know." I nodded my head and I heard Bella and Alice laughing. I wonder and I looked at Edward and then to the girls. He snickered at me and said, "Girl talk."
Dr. Cullen was standing near us now, "What do we owe the pleasure Jacob?" I shook his extended hand and responded, "Bella wanted to see everyone. She also wanted me to talk to you about this mess with our elders and about these new vampires coming." There was a commotion behind me and I heard Bella say, "Alice what is it?" I turned to see Alice shaking her head. She whispered, "I don't know. I need to get away since Jacob is here. I'll be back in a while. Rosalie, can you come with me so Jasper can stay here."
I looked over at Jasper and his eyes were fixed on Alice but kept shifting to me. Oh, he wanted to stay here with me to help control my mood. I looked over at Edward, "Yes Jacob. Its not that we are afraid of you but the stuff that we are going to tell you is not going to be easy to hear. Bella and you might get upset." I nodded and felt a small hand slid into mine. I looked over to my left and saw Bella looking up at me smiling. I nodded, "I'll follow and you talk."
We walked into the house and it was breath taking. All the windows were uncovered and the sunlight cascaded into the living room. We followed them in there and Edward motioned us to the couch. Bella and I sat down, as did Dr. Cullen to out left in a chair. Edward stood at the fireplace in front of us. I knew Jasper was there somewhere because I was getting waves of calm.
Dr. Cullen started the conversation, "Well, we have told you almost everything about Italy besides one thing. As you know, the Volturi still thinks that Edward and Bella are still together. They also know about you Jacob. They do not know what you are, but they know that you and Bella are close. They saw the memories that I had of you two holding hands and kissing." He sighed, "They think that you are just around because we weren't here." I nodded for him to continue.
He stood up and walked over to where Edward was standing. "They said that we have a year to change Bella into a vampire or they will kill us and her, along with anyone that knows about us." Everything started to hit me, since they knew about me then they also knew about Sam, and Embry. They also know that we know what they are. I looked over at Edward, and he nodded. Fear and anger started to creep up in me, but then that familiar wave of calm hit me.
Emmett moved off to my right to stand a little closer. I'm guess, in case the calm didn't help. My eyes drifted back to Edward and he nodded his head again. I could understand the protective stands they were taking. So I let the wave of calm over come me.
The good doctor must have noticed the change and waited until my eyes came back to him. "I'm taking you have realized the situation?" I nodded and he turned back to the picture above the fireplace. I had never seen it until then. There were three men standing there looking down upon us. They all had long hair, two with very dark colored hair and the other was white. The next thing I noticed was the eyes. They seemed to be drilling holes into me but they were flame red. I sucked in a gulp of air, "Are those the men you were talking about in Italy?"
Dr. Cullen looked back at me and nodded, "Yes! In the middle is Aro, the leader. To his right is Marcus, and to his left is Caius." I looked back at the picture, placing the names with the faces. So this is one of the threats. "We still haven't figured out what to do to prevent them from coming and also not to change Bella." I felt Bella shift beside me and I looked at her. She was getting red in the face. I looked at her puzzled and then she jumped up.
"Has anyone thought about asking me what I want?" I blinked a couple of times trying to figure out what the hell she was talking about and doing. "Bella, you don't know," and she stopped Dr. Cullen before he could finish. "No one has asked me what I want to do, if I even want to be a vampire or not. No, one!" She yelled and then looked at Jasper, "Don't even think about it Jasper."
I turned and looked at Jasper and he was shaking his head. I looked back at Bella and she had turned her glare on Edward and Dr. Cullen. They both stood there mesmerized by Bella. I reached over and grabbed Bella's hand to make her sit down. She looked down at me and I saw the eyes of a very strong woman. She was determined in her decision but what kind of decision had she made.
Finally Edward spoke, "Bella, I'm not changing you into one of us. I'm not doing it." She glared at him and then said deep down in her throat, "I wasn't asking you to do it Edward." She then turned to look at Emmett. I turned to see Emmett shaking his head no. "Bella, please don't drag me into this."
"Emmett you said," as her lower lip started to quiver. "What? Wait a minute here?" I stood up and looked at Bella. "Are you seriously thinking of becoming one of them?" I could feel anger starting to build up. "Bella, please tell me that you are seriously not thinking about this." I looked into her eyes and saw the seriousness of her decision.
"I'm just saying Jacob that I should have been asked if I wanted to be a vampire. No one has asked me what I want to do. This is about me after all." I could understand what she was getting at but why. "Bella lets talk about this later." I whispered to her. "NO! I want to talk about it now. Why isn't anyone asking me?" She wanted us to ask her what she wanted to do. I wrapped my arm around her waist and grabbed her chin to move her face towards me. "What do you want Bella? What do you want to do?"
"I....I don't know. I don't want to be a vampire but if it comes down to saving you and the Cullen's, I want to do it." I nodded and hugged her. I hope to all the gods that we didn't have to do that. "We haven't figured out any way out of it yet Jacob. We have some calls into some friends in the Alaska area to see if they can help us. We will have to wait, but we still have some time." Edward spoke up. I nodded my head again and whispered in Bella's ear, "We will figure something out love. I promise." She started to sob a little so I moved her to sit back on the couch.
"Now, what's the deal with these new vampires? Why is it important for me to talk to you about this?" As soon as I finished that question Alice and Rosalie charged back in the house. I then saw Esme come to Dr. Cullen's side. "The army is coming at the end of next week. There is another problem, the Volturi comes towards the end of the fight and see that Bella is not with Edward. I don't know where she is. Every time I look into her future its blank which means that she's with Jacob. Bella I'm asking you to come with me for a few moments so that I can see what is happening. Will you please follow me?" Alice came to Bella's side with her hand extended. Bella placed her hand in Alice's and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. As she left, I looked at Rosalie and said, "What else did she see. She was not saying everything."
I heard Edward move beside me. "It's not good Jacob. It's not good at all. I think you need to wait until Bella returns to hear this." I stood up a little faster than they thought and I noticed they all shifted around me. Jasper had his hand on my shoulder, applying pressure. "What is it Edward?" I growled at him. A wave of calm hit me and I growled at its presents. I didn't want my emotions changed. Edward spoke softly, "Please leave us."
Everyone left even Jasper who gave me a light squeeze on my shoulder. "Alice saw Bella becoming a vampire, after the fight with the newborns." All I could see what red, and ringing in my ears as I slammed Edward into the wall of his house.
