AN: Third part of my broken string of chapters :

We ended up at the Cullen's. What was I thinking? That's the thing though, I wasn't. Shit, as soon as anyone smelled Jacob, we'd be ambushed. And I had already turned off the car; I didn't want to risk it, by turning it back on.

"You guys," I whispered. "We need to get out of the car now."

"Oh no," Bella groaned as she pointed to the silver Volvo. "Edward."

"But it's only 12:00."

"Well at least he won't be at Bella's house. But if he catches any of our scents…" I trailed off. Edward was extremely protective of Bella. I didn't want for anyone to get hurt.

I slid out of the car not closing the door. Bella and Jacob did the same. Motioning to follow me, I slipped into the nearest part of the forest. I was getting impatient after waiting for a few seconds. Why did it have to take them so long? Then I heard footsteps. I turned around, shit. It was Edward.

"Hello Jera," he said his voice eerily calm. "What are you doing here?"

"I live here," I said copying his voice tone.

"In the forest?"

"Of course not, you know what I mean."

Edward cocked his head and looked up at the trees for a fee moments. Then he snapped his head back to me. "So, how's Bella?" he growled.

"Go ask her yourself."

"I would, but I don't know where she is, and you were the last person to see her. You and the wolf." I swallowed. He smiled. "Your eyes, they lit up, so you do know what I'm talking about."

"My eyes do a lot of things that mean nothing."

"Yes, sure they do. Now listen to me Jera. I can't read yours, Bella's, that half of a vampire's (Edward's referring to Gabriel), or Alice's mind. Why? Is there something that I need to know?"

"Well you know that I have no idea why you can't read Bella's mind. As for the rest of us, we enjoy privacy."

Edward sighed. "Let me rephrase this. The wolf and Bella were in your car with you. Bella was crying. What are you guys up to?"

I decided to give him the truth, well part of it anyway. "I wanted to give Bella her best friend back."

"How do you know the wolf?"

"Cliff-diving." I could tell that Edward's patience was running thin.

"Why was Bella crying?" he roared.

"I don't know." What else was I supposed to say?

"Liar!" Edward plunged forward to grab me. Never had I thought that a vampire would get worked up over a few tears. Ok, well maybe it wasn't a few, but still. Before Edward touched me, I froze him.

"What's going on?" he growled. "Let go of me."

"No," I hissed. "Edward, just because Bella loves you doesn't mean you get to tell her what she can and can't do. You keep doing that, and she might just leave you." I felled a tree. "And don't mess with me."

He laughed. "Jera, you think that you have the scariest power that I've seen?"

"I never said that or meant that."

"Good because I'll let you know that I have seen more horrifying powers than yours. Some vampires can set you on fire, or bring on horrible storms of proportions you have never seen before."

We stood there for a little while. Edward engaged eye contact with me; you would think he might have learned from last time, but no. "I hate your eyes," he spat.

"You hate me in general so how can you be so sure that it's my eyes that you hate?" Edward looked away. That was easy,

Keeping Edward frozen I ran to Bella's house. Shit! He was so on to us. There was no way we could do it. Well at least not tomorrow.

I jumped up onto Bella's window. I smelt Jacob, good they were here. Peering through the window, I saw them lying on Bella's bed. I tapped the glass. Bella got up and opened the window.

"What did Edward say or do?" She asked worriedly.

"Nothing bad, just…he knows. Well at least something close. He's very suspicious. I'm just glad you two got away. How did you do it anyway?" I asked as I climbed into Bella's room.

Jacob smiled. "Me."

"Huh?"

"Jacob became a wolf and I rode on his back."

"How could you though? I thought you had to be mad in order to do that."

"I got mad."

"How do you…" My vampire mind didn't quite get it. You can make yourself mad?

"I think of something that makes me mad."

"Like?"

Jacob scratched his head. "We'll this time, I thought about you getting hurt by Edward." How sweet! I threw myself on Jacob kissing him.

"How thoughtful, but I can take care of myself."

"I know, but that doesn't mean I can't worry."

Then the back of my mind where I was keeping Edward frozen, started aching painfully. I doubled over; it had been a long, long time since my last headache. And this on was very painful too.

"What's wrong?" Jacob asked holding me tightly.

"Edward's fighting my hold extremely hard." I guessed. Then Jacob started shaking. "Bella get him outside," I gasped.

Bella nodded and started climbing out of her window. "Jacob, you have to get out of here." She climbed back in and tried to separate Jacob from me.

"Go," I whispered. He was shaking harder now. Finally he let go. Jacob ran and jumped out of the window. Despite my pain, I couldn't help worrying about him.

The throbbing was blinding me. I needed a stronger hold on Edward. After stumbling to the window, then doing my best, I pushed myself out the window. I prepared myself for the impact of the ground, but it never came. Jacob's hot shaking arms had caught me.

"Get into the woods," I ordered him. "We have to get back to Edward." I saw Bella looking absolutely terrified. Jacob carefully placed me on the ground and then sprinted into the woods.

Bella rushed to help me up. "Is he ok?" she asked me.

"Yes, he's just really mad. He needs to see you…I think," I managed between breaths. This was horrible.

Through the trees I spotted a giant brown wolf. I stumble toward him, Jacob laid down and Bella and I climb onto his back.

I had to hold on with all my extra strength to keep myself from falling off. Even with my best effort and enhanced muscles, Bella had to help me.

Soon enough we were there. Just the sight of Edward relived my pain. Edward had, had his eyes clamped close. But then he opened them.

"Bella," he whispered. Ugh, how melodramatic.

Jacob laid down, and immediately rolled off his back. He tried to help me, but I stopped him. "Sorry, but this is for everyone's safety," I whispered as I froze him.

Then I released my hold Edward. Instantly, he tried to tackle me. Jacob growled, angry that he couldn't stop him. But Edward was too far away and almost fell in his attempt to attack me. (Which is extremely hard to do when you're a vampire.)

"Bella, help," I tried. This wasn't supposed to be a fight. (Then again, I wasn't quite sure what this was supposed to be right now.) She nodded and closed in on Edward at which point she hugged him.

"I heard that you were worried about me."

"Of course I was, Bella," he said softly as he kissed her on the forehead.

Now that I no longer had Edward fighting my hold, I felt perfect again. Thank God, pain really...well hurts.

Edward snapped back, remembering m and Jacob. "I might not be able to hear your or Bella's thoughts," he hissed. "But I can hear what that mutt is."

Bella's eyes darted to me. Her heart rate increased. Oh no...it's all over...

But Edward didn't burst into rage. Instead, he just looked from Jacob to me. No, it was worse. Edward smiled smugly. "A classic Beauty and the Beast case. Very interesting." His topaz eyes lit up, excited by our romance. I wanted to scream, damn you Edward Cullen! "No wonder why you even bothered to hang arounf with this thing."

"Edward! Do not talk about Jake like that," Bella burst. In a second, Edward's smile was gone. Then he retreated to hold Bella while he smelled her hair.

"You know I love you," he murmered into her hair.

"Yes," Bella said a bit coldly.

"Don't be like that," he said kissing her temple. "I hate being away from you."

Jacob growled. I knew what he was thinking. Why did you leave her then, you bastard? But I do have to say, it does seem like he truly loves her. When he spoke to her, every one of his words were covered in it.

I sat down, leaning on Jacob. It might be a while before both of them come back to reality.

"Don't ever leave me like Edward did to Bella," I whispered. Biting my lip, I wished I could actually talk to Jacob right now. He growled. "What's that supposed to mean?" He growled again. "Thanks for the enlightenment." I sighed. "Ok well...this will sound dumb, but one growl means yes, two growls no. So, will you ever leave me?" Two growls. "Are you afraid that I might leave you?" There was a pause then one growl.

I sat there quietly. "I don't think I could leave you," I whispered. WIth nothing left to say, I just continued to sit there.

Bella walked to us. "Hey guys, Edward's going in."

"You can go with him," I offered. Jacob growled twice. "Why?" I sighed, this was impossible. "Ok what if Edward goes in, then Bella will later?" One growl. I nodded to Bella, helping her understand this was ok. She turned to Edward who had obviously heard and nodded. The next moment he was gone. That's when I unfroze Jacob.

Bella turned to me and sighed. "You're right, he is so on to us."

"Shit."

Suddenly a half-naked Jacob was standing next to me, wrapping his arm around my waist. His body burned my skin, but I didn't care. "What happened?" he asked.

"Edward is so on to us."

"Shit."

"My words exactly."

"...Actually, this is better."

"Why?" I asked.

"The treaty."

"What treaty?"

"Between us and the Cullen's. Alice would break it if Bella was...changed here."

"Good thing I bought you and Alice time," Bella said smugly.

"You did?"

"Yeah Edward's coming over tonight."

"Thank you," I hugged her.

"Hey this is all for me," she smiled. Jacob frowned. "Well, I better go." Bella hugged us both. "See you tomorrow!" she called as she ran off to the house.
