"Bella! Bella! Wake up!" I was yelling at her as she punched me over and over in the chest. I finally was able to get a hold of her wrists to stop her. She was sobbing and still trying to move her arms. I rolled so that she was lying on her back. I raised her arms above her head and grabbed both wrists with one hand. My other hand I cupped under her jaw and whispered, "Bella please, wake up." She was crying now and whimpering my name. "Bella, please wake up," I whispered in her ear and kissed her jaw line.

I looked at her face and saw her eyes flicker a little. She realized finally that I had her pinned to the bed. "Oh, Jacob!" She cried even more. "Bella, what's wrong? What were you dreaming about?" I leaned in and kissed her cheek to take away the tears. "It was a horrible dream. Please Jacob,....I......I.....I don't want to talk about it right now. I just want you to hold me and be with me. Don't leave me Jacob." I looked into her eyes and I saw the sadness in them. I whispered, "I'll be here as long as you need me. Forever if that's what you want." She moved herself upward to kiss me. It was a kiss of need not just love. I trailed my hand down her neck to her collarbone and down her side. She shivered underneath me and whispered, "Jacob, make love to me." I didn't need another request; I leaned forward and kissed her deeply.

Bella and I made love and lay in bed until I had to leave for the Cullen's. "I'm coming Jacob. I don't care." Bella stomped her foot. "Did you just stomp your foot? I thought that they only did that on TV." She laughed as I grabbed her by the waist. I whispered in her ear, "You can go but you have to tell me about your dream." When I looked at her face, her eyes were wide. Why didn't she want to tell me about this dream? She nodded her head and I smiled at her. "See that wasn't hard, was it?" She looked up at me and shook her head, "You say that now."

She turned and walked out of my room, leaving me puzzled by that comment. I caught up to her as she walked to my car. I opened the door for her and she climbed in. I got in and she was looking out the window into the woods. "Bella, please tell me what your dream was about? You have been so distracted since then and I'm worried. I won't be able to focus on what I need to do if I'm worrying about you." I know it was mean for me to pull that card out but I could tell she was upset about something.

She looked at me with her eyes sparkling from the moonlight that was coming in the car. She was going to cry and I made her do that. I'm such an ass. I touched her face, "I'm sorry love. I didn't mean to upset you. Forget it." I started the car and she sucked in a breath that was ridged. I knew then that she was crying but making sure I didn't hear. I closed my eyes for a second to keep myself in check. I didn't need to get upset with Bella in the car.

I heard her sigh and then I felt her hand on my thigh. I looked over at her and she smiled weakly at me. She whispered, "It was a horrible dream Jacob, but it was just a dream. Please, don't analyze it okay?" I nodded and looked back at the road. She continued, "I had a dream about the attack. Victoria found me but neither you nor Edward was there to protect me. I was backed up against the wall of the cave and this other vampire came at me from my right. They drug me out of the cave, both you and Edward showed up. Victoria grabbed me at that point and told the both of you that I was going to die and so were you. The next thing I saw was about twenty vampires coming out of the woods, surrounding you two. Then I saw you lying there dead. The new vampires had gutted you, before the Cullen's and the rest of the pack arrived. Victoria tried to kill me but Emmett and Jasper got her before she could. Then I was hitting Edward in the chest and crying over your body." Tears were falling again from Bella's eyes.

We had reached the hiking point to the vampire's baseball field. I turned off the engine and turned in my seat to look at her. I put both of my hands on either side of her face. Her eyes finally came to mine and I whispered, "I will not let you be alone in this. I will protect you from them. I will not leave your side, do you understand me? How could I leave you by yourself, when I love you so much?" I kissed her lips softly and let her go.

I got out of the car and walked to her door. Once she was out I picked her up in my arms and whispered for her to close her eyes. I ran to the field and saw everyone had already arrived. I lightly put her down and kissed her cheek. "I'll be right back," as I turned and ran into the woods.

"It's about damn time. Jacob! How about next time you make sure your girlfriend stays home so you're here on time," Paul growled and snarled. I growled deep in my chest and looked over at Bella. She smiled a weak smile at me. The memories of the story went through my mind and I looked over at Edward. Of course he didn't miss it neither did Sam.

"When did she have this dream Jacob?" Sam questioned. I showed him and I saw Edward move towards Bella. When he got to her side, she hugged him and kissed his cheek. He whispered to her and I saw her eyes start to well up again. He rubbed her back and whispered again in her ear. I heard what he was saying to her but jealously started. A low growl came from me and Edward's eyes flickered to me. He took his hand off of Bella and took a step away from her. It's not that I didn't want Edward and her to be friends but I still have a feeling that Edward might be trying to get her back. Edward shook his head and said into the air, "It's not like that Jacob and you know it."

Bella looked at me and then back to Edward. "Not like what Edward?" When he didn't answer her, her eyes came back to me. "Jacob, what is going on here?" Carlisle spoke up then, "Thank you friends for coming. Let's get to work. My son Jasper will be the one showing us how to take care of our problem. Jasper," as Carlisle motioned towards him.

Jasper showed us all how young vampires move and how we should attack them. Jasper knew Bella was worried about Alice so he showed Bella how Alice is one little demon. That girl can move better than I think Edward. Of course, Edward has the speed advantage over all of them. Still it was fascinating to watch them work together.

I had made my way over to Bella and lay down beside her. She sat down beside me and started to rub my ears and neck. I moaned at the touch, which came out like a purring cat. She giggled and laid her head on my shoulder and sighed. I turned my head and whimpered at her. She just smiled and said, "It's okay Jacob. I'm just thinking."

I don't know how long we sat there watching them all play fight but I felt Bella getting heavier and heavier. I looked at her and she was fast asleep. I chuckled which came out as a coughing bark. Sam looked over at me and chuckled himself. "I'm think it's time to get Bella home," he whispered in my mind. Edward came over and stood in front of me. "I could help if you would like me too," Edward spoke softly to me. I nodded and Edward leaned down and picked up Bella.

I ran beside Edward all the way to Bella's house. I transformed back to my human form and went up to Edward. "Thanks for the help Edward. I can take her now." I could tell that he really didn't want to give her up but he finally handed her over to me. Bella sighed when she came into my arms. She snuggled into my chest and sighed again. I looked down at her and she had a smile on her face. I looked back up at Edward and saw the sadness across his face. He whispered, "Good night," and was gone.

At that moment I actually felt bad for him. He was seeing his love in the arms of another man that seemed to make her happy. I was in his shoes at one point. I knew how it felt. He could avoid this by not being around her. Could I do what he was doing? Could I just walk away from Bella, loving her as much as I do? I looked down at her again and saw her sleeping like an angel. No, I wouldn't be able to stay away from her if she loved him instead.

I turned and walked up the stairs of the porch. I lightly taped on the door, trying my best not to wake up Bella. Charlie came running to the door with his uniform on. When he saw me, his face lit up. He looked down and saw Bella in my arms. A smile came across his face and opened the door. Whispering, "Hey Jacob. Good to see you son. Go ahead and take her upstairs. I have to leave for work, so lock up when you leave okay?" I nodded and carried her upstairs. One thing good about Charlie was that he had always wanted Bella and me to be together, so he doesn't ask questions.

I got Bella on the bed and took off her boots and soaks. I removed her jeans and covered her up with a blanket. I lay down beside her, on top of the covers. I didn't want her waking up from getting to hot. She sighed again when I rapped my arm around her. It felt so warm and comfortable here with Bella. My eyes started to get heavy again. Well, maybe a quick nap won't be a bad thing. I listened to Bella's heart and breathing, it sounded like my own personal lullaby and darkness started to take me.

I woke up and noticed that there was snow all around me. I looked around for Bella but didn't see her. I called for her but no response. I got up from the ground and noticed that I was laying at the edge of the cave. I screamed Bella's name and then I saw her. It was the red haired vampire, standing down at the tree line. I felt my hair stand up on my neck. I saw another vampire beside her, a very young looking boy with blond spiky hair. He had a hold of someone, "Oh God, BELLA!" The next thing I saw was Bella's throat getting cut and him letting her fall to the ground. All I heard was my own scream as I ran at the redhead and spiky but everything went black again.
