A.N.: usual disclaimer apply, I don't own a single Twilight thing, only the story. I just read a very well written story by mama4dukes called The Rabbit meet the Magic stick (if you haven't read it yet, check it out) and it gave me the idea to send my favourite couple back in time. Only she sent them back in 1987 while I will be sending them way way way back. There is some swearing, Paul after all is Paul.
Summary: Bella goes to confront Jacob for his disappearing act and instead of slapping Paul she tries to punch him, he moves away, but not before she smashes the necklace he was wearing. When they blink they find themselves in a field where they can only see a group of teepees and some Native Americans. They have gone back in time, and now they have to deal with each other to find a way back. Needless to say it isn't going to be easy, both will have to face their fears and their problems.
Back for good
1.
Bella turned away from the door that Jacob had just shut on her face, and when her eyes saw three figures approaching, something inside her snapped. Sam Uley and his gang were the reason why Jake had turned against her.
She ran towards them, suddenly feeling furious, the emptiness had left her, and anger was festering in her mind. "What did you do Sam? Why is Jacob avoiding me?"
One of the other two guys with him, Paul, if she recalled correctly, took a step towards her, and sneered. "We didn't do anything to your precious Jake, why don't you ask yourself what you did... leech leftover."
Her eyes widened at his insult, and then she fisted her hand, and just attacked him. He moved away quickly, but not enough, and she managed to punch him on his necklace that broke in thousands of pieces.
For a moment she felt like the air was squeezed out of her lungs, and then when she found her bearing she realised that everything but Paul had disappeared. They were in a green field, and further down they could see a Native American's camp.
Bella blinked, and then pinched her arm. It hurt, she wasn't dreaming. Then she jumped when she heard a growl next to her.
"Fuck, shit, fuck! Where the hell are we? What have you done!" Paul snarled.
Bella took a step away from him. "I didn't do anything! I just punched you because you were being rude." She replied.
Paul looked down, and noticed his broken necklace. He paled, and then started vibrating. "Fucking, fuck!" He swore, and then ran for the cover of the trees.
Bella started panicking, she was in this foreign place, and even though she thought that Paul was an ass, well, he was the only familiar thing in this place. She ran after him, she wasn't prepared to see shredded clothes, and a wolf in Paul's place.
She blinked again, what happened to her life? Since she came to Forks a sequel of mysterious, mystical and freaking scary things were happening to her. A wolf, really? Was that the reason why Jacob had told her to leave him alone? So the legends were true, and it actually made sense, if the Cold Ones existed then Quileultes turning into wolves made sense too.
Her legs couldn't keep her up anymore, she dropped on the floor and watched the wolf watching her. "So we're screwed. We're in this strange place, and we don't know how to get back. Now Paul, I know you don't like me, and believe me when I say that I don't like you back either. But we're here together, and we probably will be able to figure out a way to get back. So I call for a truce, once we're home we go back to hate each other. What do you say?"
The wolf advanced on her, his eyes were yellow, and huge but she could see intelligence in his gaze. He looked at her a moment longer, and then took a few steps back, and in a blink the wolf turned into Paul. A very naked Paul.
Bella closed her eyes. "Ewww, Paul, you could have warned me!"
She heard Paul laughing. "And where is the fun in that leech lover?"
She was getting angry, and still keeping her eyes closed said. "Don't call me that, I asked for a truce. Are you presentable?"
"Nope, when I phased I destroyed my shorts." He said, and she could detect his amusement. "And I don't recall accepting your offer."
Bella thought for a while, then she pulled off her jumper and threw it in front of her. "Cover yourself and then we'll talk."
"Open your eyes Swan, I'm sure mine isn't the first dick you've seen. You've been fucking that corpse for a year." He spat.
At the mention of her former boyfriend, the hole that she had been briefly forgotten opened up again, and she felt the crushing pain of the loss. She hugged her stomach to seek some comfort, but nothing could help her, he was gone and she was left bereft.
"Fuck Swan, pull yourself together. Shit happens, being dumped isn't the end of the world." He growled.
Bella opened her eyes, and glared at him. "Mind your own business Paul, I don't want to talk about… E..him." she stood up then and dusted her jeans. "We need to understand what happened, and try to go back as soon as possible. I don't want to be with you more than I have to."
"Feeling is mutual, Swan. Let's see what theory you've got. And then I will tell you mine." He said.
