I shot up out of bed, and fell to the floor as I started to shaking and crying. I felt small arms wrap around me and heard a voice of an angel cooing in my ear. I continued to shake and cry, when I realized the arms around me was Bella. I was on the break, about to lose control.

"Get off of me Bella," I screamed in a growl. I felt her let go as I took off out of her room. I made it to the end of the stairs when I transformed. I jumped threw their front window. As the glass fell around me I could hear Bella sobbing. My heart ached to be with her but I just don't know if I can do this anymore. I need to seek advice; I need to go to the elders.

"Yes, you need to go to the elders." A voice rang in my head. "Sam, I need help." I whispered back to him as the images of my dream. "Jacob, you need to talk to them. Let the elders guide you through this." I saw movement to my left and then my right as I ran towards the woods. I already knew who it was. On the left was Sam, on the right was Edward.

I moved a little to my right so that I could see Edward. When I got within distance of him, I thought of my dream and hearing Bella sobbing. Edward nodded his head, "I'll go in and tell her what's happening. Jasper is on his way and he will help calm her. Go and hurry back. She will want to see you soon, you know that." I nodded my head and saw movement behind Edward. Jasper gave me a half smile and nodded his head as to tell me to go.

I took off dead sprint to La Push. Sam said that the elders were all waiting on me. When I arrived at my father's home, they were all sitting on the porch. I transformed back and put on the sweats that my father threw at me.

"Jacob you have seen many outcomes in your dreams regarding Bella. What do you believe is true and what do you believe you can change?" The elder to the far left said. I lowered my head and shook it, "I don't know. I'm confused and don't know what to believe or to do." I looked up at my father, who had a look of concern.

"I believe you know what your future holds young warrior," said Sue Clearwater. Jacob looked over at her and tears started to build. Sue had taken her husband's chair among the elders. He hadn't let himself fully grieve over Harry's death and seeing her up there made him realize that he needed to.

"Jacob, you know what your future holds. Now is not the time to worry about me," she whispered. I looked down to let the tears that had built up, fall to the dry ground. I started to think about everything that had happened to me over the past few months. The dreams and memories flashed before me.

"There is no way to protect her. She will die won't she?" I looked up and into Quil Ateara eyes. They were black but I could see the knowledge in them. He stared at me for a moment and said, "What do you think warrior?" I stood there continuing to look in his eyes and remembered the dream of Bella dying. Then it hit me, I looked up at Quil Ateara, "Edward?" Quil Ateara closed his eyes and nodded his head. "I have seen what you have seen Jacob. I have asked the ancestors to help me guide the tribe. This is the only option, we must let things unfold but you need to let her go if it goes this way."

I stood there looking from Quil, Sue, and my father. I was judging their eyes to see if they were really asking me to do this. "So you want me to stand by and do nothing?" They continued to stare at me not saying a word until I started to shake. "Jacob we want you to let things go the way they go. If the future happens how our dreams have told us, you need to let her go." My body felt like it was beginning torn apart. My heart, my soul, my whole being was just ripped at the seam. My body was shaking and I could feel the heat coming off of me.

"Jacob, son calm down," my father's voice broke through. I snarled, "You want me to just let her become one of those things and then never see her again? Avoid her, not love her? Are you seriously asking me to do this?" I looked up from my hands and saw them looking scared, worried of what to come.

"It will be the only way," my father whispered. My shaking got worse and I growled as I transformed. A howl of pure sadness escaped my mouth and I took off for the cave. I need time to think, I need to be away again. Why can't I just have a normal life? Why can't I just be normal and marry Bella? Why?

Sam was following me, "Sam, get away!" I screamed in my head. "Someone needs to be with you. I'm your leader, I will go." I skidded to a stop and spun around to see the big black bear of a dog coming at me. I growled and yelled, "I don't need you nor want your help. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!"

All of a sudden the voices stopped. I didn't have the pack in my mind anymore. Sam whimpered, I looked at him but it was as if I was looking down at him. I realized then that was becoming an alpha. Sam was low to the ground with his head lowered like he was bowing. I huffed at him and took off to where I needed to be, in a cave, alone to think.

Once I arrived there I transformed back to start up a fire and to clear my mind. As I did I smelled that horrible smell. "What the hell do you want Edward? I wanted to be alone." I mumbled without even looking up. He didn't say anything so I continued my thoughts and getting things ready. I thought about the conversation that I had with the elders. The memories of the dreams and what Quil had said. I heard a gasp from behind me.

"Now you know why I need to be alone. Everything is pointing to that, everything! Even her dreams now are leading to that future. I just don't know what to do anymore." I sat down on a log that I had moved inside to cave. I stared into the fire not even needing it for heat, just something to do.

We sat there for hours it seemed just staring into the fire. I kept going through the dreams and the emotions. Could I just walk away from her? Can I leave her to this fate? Hell no, I'm not going to let it happen. I'll be by her side the whole time, I won't let it happen. "What if you can't be by her side for the fight? What if they do attack and you have to defend her? You need someone else with you. I could help if you would like." Oh of course you would, give you a chance to change her if things go wrong. You would love that wouldn't you? Claim her as yours again.

Edward stared at me and shook his head. "You know my feelings on that. I have told you that I don't want to change her and that I don't intend to. You were the one worried about that, I wouldn't do it if need be. So why now are you turning it on me?" I thought about that and remembered the conversation that Edward and I had about my dream. He had told me that I would have to force him to change Bella because of the connection between him and her after the turn.

"You better think fast because tomorrow night she needs you. We need you." Edward explained. I looked at him stunned. The days had gone by so fast. Seemed like only yesterday Edward was gone and Bella was over at my house riding motorcycles.

Edward nodded and smiled, "Yea. I know the feeling." I stood up and asked him to leave so that I could think and dream about what to do. The ancestors will tell me what to do in my dreams. Edward nodded and left without any other word. I crawled up around the fire and started to drift off to sleep. Hopefully I would get some answers, somewhere.
