A/N: "Boom!" Sorry… that was for twitterfortwilight616. She really wanted some action in this chapter… Don't worry though, I can guarantee there will be action in this chapter. You didn't think I would let Jake accept the fact that Edward is back with Bella without his anger getting the best of him did you?

Chapter 42

"Break it up you two." I heard Alice scream from the hallway.

There was a loud shattering of what I predicted was porcelain then a crash that shook the bedroom wall. I sat up in bed and pulled my feet to my chest. Had this James come for me? Is that the fighting that was going on in the hallway? Where was Edward? I looked around the room and noticed the details that I hadn't been able to see last night. The walls were painted a light green and the curtains were a sheer white color. The bedspread was a light green to match the walls and the light pouring through the windows gave the room a light feeling.

I almost forgot why I was scared when I heard more yelling. "You can't do this to her. You can't just leave her and then expect her to fall into your arms and forgive you of everything. That's not how it works Edward. How can she truly count on you for anything? For all she knows you could get up and leave without saying a word." Instantaneously I know what was going on. Edward and Jake were fighting over me… great.

"That's not true and you know it. I love her Jake and she loves me. Don't think that's changed. I asked you to look out for her, not marry her. I didn't know that you were going to move in on her. I trusted you Jake. I expected more of you." Edward growled and then there was the shattering of glass, the window I assumed.

My door opened and Alice entered looking a little relieved. "Oh good, you're up! Maybe you can put an end to this madness."

Alice grabbed my hand and yanked me from the bed and by pure luck my feet landed on the ground. It felt as if my feet barely hit the ground before I was in the hallway. She scooped me up in her tiny arms and I could have sworn I was going to be sick when she picked up speed and then jumped through the shattered window landing lithely on the green grass.

She sat me down on my feet and I swayed a little before I could gain focus on what I was doing. I heard more yelling and I looked up to see Jake in his wolf form as he lunged at Edward's throat. The sight was horrible. Edward looked completely unprepared as Jake's sharp teeth lunged at him.

"Edward, watch out! Jake, stop it" I yelled at them baffled at the force behind my voice.

Jake looked toward me and his eyes became wide. He looked like a puppy that had just been punished for chewing up its owner's shoes. This was probably a mistake for Jake though. After loosing concentration Edward took advantage of that and grabbed Jake by the neck and threw him into the nearest tree. A loud crack reverberated through the forest and Jake's wet form collapsed at the bottom in a huge lump of fur.

I shot Edward an evil glare and proceeded to run over to Jake to make sure he was okay. "Jake? Jake are you hurt?"

I tripped on a tree root and landed on his oversized stomach. He looked up and grinned at me letting me know that he was okay. I tried to pull myself up but the dew on my bare feet caused me to slip and fall back on Jake's stomach.

"Watch your mind dog." Edward growled and offered his hand down to me.

I gratefully took his hand and he easily pulled me to him and wrapped his arms around me. "Good morning love. Sorry you had to wake to screaming and fighting." He looked back at Jake and gave him a smirk.

I rolled my eyes and pulled away from his grasp. "Sorry, too much testosterone in the air."

He followed after me and after several times of slipping, he scooped me up bridal style and I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Get dressed and meet us in the living room dog." Edward coldly called back to Jake.

I slapped his chest, which only caused my hand to sting. "Ouch, be nice."

Edward leaned down and kissed my fingers. "Sorry love." He whispered. "Get dressed and please meet us in the living room dog." He called back to Jake. I glared at him again. "I mean Jake." He corrected himself.

I smiled and turned my head to kiss his upper arm. "See, it wasn't that hard."

He rolled his eyes and sat me down in his room. "You're getting better at this whole being carried faster than a speeding car thing." He chuckled.

I shrugged. "Yeah, yeah." I looked down at my bare feet to see that they were caked in black dirt. "I think I need a shower."

He smiled. "Sure, Alice said your shampoo is in the shower and I'm sure she has some clothes that you can wear in her room."

I nodded. "Okay, thank you."

One side of his mouth turned up. "Sure." He paused. "Bella, I want to try something." My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Be very still." He breathed out.

I was about to ask him why when he ever so slowly bent his head down closer to mine. Every thought in my head left as he turned his head slightly and pressed his cold lips to mine. His mouth opened slightly and his breath hit my mouth and my thoughts went into frenzy. His hand cupped my face and my hands raised to his hair. I pulled his face closer to mine and his other hand pulled my body closer to his. All too soon he pulled away.

His hands left my body and he stepped away quickly. "I guess I have more control then I thought I did."

With that he left the room. Yeah, he left the room. Talk about a major tease! I'm sure somewhere in the great rulebook of love it specifically states that you can not, I repeat can not, kiss a girl and then leave without the slightest chance of an after kiss. I wasn't complaining though, at least he kissed me.

EPOV

I had to get out of the room. Bella's scent called to me. It was even stronger when she was wet. Her scent wrapped around me squeezing me lightly and it hurt to breathe. When I reached the hallway I picked up speed and ran downstairs running the kiss in my head again.

Her taste seemed to tease me. She tasted like strawberries weirdly enough. I could still feel the impression of her soft lips on mine. I walked to the couch and placed my fingers on my lips tracing my fingers over them lightly. I was pulled out of my daze by someone practically shouting their thoughts at me.

What I wouldn't like to do to that leech. Who does he think he is? He could kill her that idiot. I should have known he would me different. I can't believe I thought he would be the same Edward. He shot daggers at me and rolled his eyes. If he only knew how much pain Bella was in. She risked her life to go find him and then he leaves her? He leaves her for two months and then expects him to stay with her?

"Okay, we all know why we're here. We really should think about our little problem." Carlisle stated firmly.

"I don't see a problem. What good is a human to us?" Rosalie sneered.

I barred my teeth at her and she growled in return. "Watch your mouth Rosalie."

Carlisle sighed. "He's right Rose. Bella is with Edward and therefore she is apart of our family. We protect our family."

She rolled her eyes and leaned into Emmett. "Whatever."

Jake shifted in his seat and shot daggers at her. "You got something to say mutt?" Rosalie scoffed at him.

He took a couple of deep breaths and shook his head. "No."

"Very well. Alice, what do you see?" He turned to Alice's regular seat but she wasn't there. "Where's Alice?" Carlisle asked Jasper.

He shrugged. "I'm not sure." As he spoke she walked into the room holding her head. "I can't see anything, not with Jake here." She glanced at Jake. "Sorry Jake."

He nodded. "No problem."

She continued. "I don't know that much about Jake and his kind. That blocks my visions now. I'm not sure what will happen." She frowned. "It scares me."

Jasper pulled her into his arms and whispered sweet nothings into her ear. I envied them. He could hold Alice and not be scared that he would break her. He could count on her being there with him as they unseeingly aged through the decades. He could have her forever.

I wonder why envy is rolling off of Edward. It isn't like Bella isn't the hottest human I've ever seen. She smells so good too, almost like being in a field of flowers and freesias. Just one little-. No, I couldn't' do that. I have to be strong, for Alice.

I also admired his will. He could be so strong without even knowing it. Some people have all the luck. At least he didn't have to decide on whether or not to damn his other half to this hell. I have no doubt that he wouldn't have done it. He loved Alice like I loved Bella. I sometimes observed his thoughts if anyone's. He was always so pleasant unless he was beating himself up about something.

"So it's settled then?" Carlisle asked.

I snapped out of my reverie and concentrated on the meeting. "How good of a chance do we have at tacking him though?" Emmett asked.

Carlisle shrugged. "They're not going to let her get out of their sight." He paused. "We'll have Rose and Esme run the landscape along with the pack. If we time it just right they won't have a chance to slip through the boundaries." He paused. "Emmett, Edward, and I will start tracking."

I stood up. "No, I won't leave Bella. She needs me."

Carlisle sighed. "Yes, we all know you love Bella." He paused. "It's just that Jasper is the best fighter out of all of us. If by some means he his able to get to Bella then I can trust Jasper take him. Of course Alice will be with him."

I understood his reasoning although I wasn't too keen on the idea that Bella would be away from me. I had just gotten her back and now they wanted to take her from me. I took over my thoughts as Jake and Carlisle started to discuss the plans. They headed outside after Jake complained about his nose being stuffed with stank.

Alice took a big deep breath and grabbed Jasper's hand as she tuned out of our world and into her own. She started to shake violently and her breathing became shallow and ragged. She clenched her eyes shut and then they popped open.

"He's here." She breathed out.

I scrunched my eyebrows. "Where's here?"

She pointed upward. "In the bathroom, with Bella."

BPOV

I only partially remember what happened next. I stepped into the bathroom and started to unbutton the top of my pajama top. The door creaked open and when I looked up I only saw the door cracked slightly. I figured it was the house settling or something so I closed the door again and then walked back into the middle of the room. I started to unbutton the top of the cotton pajamas.

"It's so nice to finally meet you Isabella." A sickeningly sweet voice spoke from behind me.

I looked in the mirror and came face to face with him. It was the man from the video camera.

A/N: Is that enough action for you? Isn't this just great/horrible? Jake and Edward fighting and then James sneaking into the Cullen house. How did he do it? Too bad Alice's visions were blocked for a little bit. She sure would have seen this coming.

Review!
