I don't know how long I stayed up on the hill side but I did come up with an idea on how to protect Bella. This cave could be her shelter and protection. Edward said that Alice saw us in the field fighting now up here on the cliff.
As the idea developed in my head I took off in a dead sprint, taking my clothes off to transform to see where the pack was. Once I was in wolf form I got bombarded with questions. "Jacob, what the hell? Just leave like that and not tell us. What are you fucking thinking you dumbass?" Sam and I growled at the same time. I showed them the conversation with Edward and my thoughts on what to do. Sam agreed that this would be the best route and that he would meet me at the Cullen's.
I made it to their house and Sam came out of the woods at the same time. We both transformed back and dressed. As we reached the steps Edward was already at the door. He smiled and said, "Heard you coming. I like the idea but let's talk to Bella and everyone else." I smiled as he patted me on the back.
Bella came at me like the house was on fire. She started kissing me all over my face as I giggled at her. "Bella. Bella! Calm down love, come we have some talking to do." I looked over at Sam and he nodded to go ahead. Bella refused to let go of me as we walked into the living room of the Cullen's.
The Cullen's were all already in there waiting. Carlisle smiled at me and said, "So Jacob, Edward tells us you have an idea on how to keep Bella protected and hopefully stop this vision that Alice had." I nodded and sat Bella down on the couch as I sat next to her. As soon as I was comfortable Bella wrapped her arms around me again. I kissed the top of her head and started to tell the Cullen's my plan. "Well, they know about us, the tribe I mean but they don't know that we are helping protect Bella. We believe that they have items of hers that they can trace her with, correct?" They all nodded. "Okay so my idea is that we lead them on a fake trail. Send them away from where Bella is. Edward sent me to this cave on the top of the hill. That will be a great place for Bella to be protected. We send her on a fake trail with Edward; make it seem she is on the run with him. Then I'll meet them up somewhere, we will cover her up with one of my blankets and I'll carry her up the hillside. I'm thinking it would be less of a chance that they will get her smell all the way up there. What you think?"
They all stood very still thinking about my plan. Alice left, I'm figuring to see if this would work. Carlisle nodded and moved to seat in the chair to my right. "This sounds very good Jacob. I really like the idea. Alice of course will let us know if it does work. I really think that Edward and you should stay with Bella. Stay out of the fight to be on the safe side." Both Edward and I yelled no. Carlisle and Sam both looked puzzled. "We both need to be at the fight. We are both strong fighters. I'll have Sam assign someone to watch over Bella. If something starts to change Alice can let us know right?" I could feel Bella start to shake. She was on the verge of crying again. I wrapped my arms around her and hold her tighter.
Alice came back just then with a sigh, "Looks like they take the bait but I can't see past that since the wolf pack is involved. I can't see her being attacked anymore. That's a good sign." I looked over at Sam to see what he might say. He nodded and said, "I agree with everything that you have come up with Jacob. I'll have our youngest take care of Bella while we fight. How much longer do we have?" Alice spoke up, "They will be here this weekend." Sam nodded and then said, "If you excuse me I need to talk to the pack and the elders." Everyone nodded as Sam got up to leave.
"Well then, I guess we have a plan in set. I'm going to call Tanya and see if they can help us. If you will excuse me," Carlisle got up and walked out to the kitchen with Esme right behind. "Edward we are going out hunting, you want to come?" Emmett said. Edward shook his head no and responded, "I'm going to stay here for bit. I'll catch up." Emmett smiled and patted him on the back.
Everyone was out of the living room beside, Edward, Bella, and me. Edward went and sat in the chair to my left. He was looking at Bella with concern and love. I kissed the top of her forehead and she whispered, "You guys are not telling me everything. You are keeping something from me. What is it?"
I closed my eyes and sighed. I heard Edward sigh too and Bella sat up. Tears escaping her as those puffy red eyes went back and forth between Edward and me. I rubbed her arm and whispered, "It doesn't matter now Bella. The vision has changed. We have changed it so there is not reason to worry." I was trying to soothe her but I could see the rage starting to build. "I want to know everything right now. What is it that Alice saw? What is it that you two are hiding from me?"
I looked over at Edward and he shook his head no but I couldn't do this to her. She had the right to know everything. "Bella, Alice saw a lot more than she told you." Edward sighed and got up to walk to the fireplace. "I didn't just kill Edward because I was mad Bella. We were both upset over your death and I killed him because he was begging me to. I thought that if I killed him that his family would kill me but a newborn got me. All three of us die that night." Bella looked at me in horror, and then over to Edward. I could see the tears welling up again. "There's more Bella."
"Jacob, I think she's heard enough," Edward said in almost a growl. "She has the right to know Edward," I growled right back. I closed my eyes and looked into that deep dark chocolate orbs that was surrounded by tears. "Bella, Alice also saw the Volturi coming and killed all the Cullen's" She gasped and started to cry. No it wasn't crying, it was bawling. Her whole body was shaking and she curled herself into a ball on the couch. I picked her up and stated to rock her. Edward came over and sat down on the couch beside Bella and I. He was humming a song and it seemed to calm Bella down. I looked over at him and he smirked. 'It's her lullaby that I made for her,' He said in my mind.
I continued to rock her as Edward hummed. She calmed down, "Jacob, I want to stay with you tonight. Can I?" I looked down at her and her eyes had need and want in them. I smiled and said, "Of course Bella. You want to call Charlie and let him know?" She shook her head no, "Can we go now? I'm really tired." I kissed her forehead and smiled. "Of course love but I'll have to leave you later tonight to train with Edward." She sighed, "I want to come back to watch. Can I do that?" She looked over at Edward this time. He shrugged, "If you want." She nodded her head and looked up at the grandfather clock in the corner of the room. I looked over at it myself and it said 9pm.
"Well, we can go get a couple of hours of sleep and then be at the field by 2." She nodded and wrapped her arms around my neck. I picked her up and carried her out of the house. I looked back at Edward and thought, 'thank you so much for being a good friend to her, and to me.' A smile came across his face and he nodded.
I walked out of the house and into a cool evening. Bella shivered and I held her tighter to me. "Close your eyes Bella love," I whispered to her. She buried her face into my chest as I ran as fast as I could to get to my house. Of course I'm faster in wolf form but I didn't want to let go of Bella.
We arrived at my home and dad was waiting on us. Bella smiled weakly at him and he said that Charlie already knew she was spending the night here. I carried her to my bed and lowered her down on to it. As I turned to leave she grabbed my hand. "Please Jacob, stay with me." I smiled and lay down beside her. She had moved to positioned herself so that her back was against my chest. I heard her sigh and her breathing became shallower. All snuggled up against her I started to feel the effects of the past couple of days and slowly drifted off with her. How I love the feeling this woman gives me. The safety and warmth from inside her, I could stay like this forever. Next thing I hear is a scream and her punching me.
