*Jacob's Point of View*

Why would people drink hot cups of nasty semi-clear liquid during the early afternoon? Even more so why am I drinking the, kind-of looks like dirty water, stuff to begin with? That's right, it was because of her; for her I will drink the foulest tea in the world and act as if it was the best drink I have ever had. I couldn't help but steal a glance at her sitting on the couch across from me. She must have been a heartbreaker in her hometown because she is downright hot.

I can't tell if it takes her an hour to get ready every morning or if she just rolls out of bed and goes, but she is breathtaking. Long brown hair that curled around her face, but most of it was still pulled back in a low ponytail; oh I am a sucker for girls with ponytails. I could tell that she had a lot of more important things going on and clothes was not at the top of her priority list. Don't get me wrong I much prefer causal dressing girls than girls that insist on wearing ten pounds of makeup, but even Bella didn't dress this casually. The jeans were too big for her, which made me worry at first that she most likely hasn't been eating enough; also she had on a baggy black hoody that has defiantly seen better days. But that didn't matter at all, she still looked gorgeous. If she actually wore more fitting clothes, not only will I be blown away, but so will every guy that looks at her. But besides her clothes it was her accessories that really caught my attention.

Right off the bat is the silver sunglasses. I have yet been able to look her in the eyes because the only time I have seen her without those sunglasses was when she was in recovery. I have the feeling that her sunglasses act as kind of a wall; like she's hiding the truth and only reflecting what she wants people to see. There is a much deeper meaning to those sunglasses and I think it has something to do with the scars that adore her face. I have seen the scars, and if she ever knew that; well I don't think she would be a very a happy camper. Hopefully someday I can see her eyes, see all of her without any filters; hopefully that day will come soon.

The next item is the arm band that's on her right forearm. You can only see it when she has her sleeves pushed up, which they are now, but it's a tight black band that covers her arm from wrist to elbow. I have a hunch that, like the sunglasses, the arm band is also trying to conceal her forbidden past. All in all on the outside she looks like an everyday girl, a beautiful everyday girl; but a normal girl. It just amazes me that this normal looking girl is actually a witch.

As I attempted to politely sip out of the little tea cup that I was given I couldn't seem to pause, stop, or even block the most recent events from playing on continual loop in my mind. Our first meeting was most likely one of the best moments of my life and also probably one of the worse.

When I actually paid attention and thought about what actually went down, it was a downhill spiral from the very start. First without realizing it I almost followed Hermione, oh my god there are no words that can describe her name, into Carlisle's office. If it wasn't for Rosalie I would have come right in and sat down too; that's not too stalker-ish. So as the door gently blocked me from my new imprint, life threw another curve ball as Bella started to walk toward me. I decided to try to act nonchalant by leaning against the door looking at one of the many paintings on the wall, but at the end of the day Bella can always read me like an open book.

"Hey Jake". With an awkward wave Bella slowly made her way over to me, her eyes following my line of vision until we were both staring at the same painting. We stood there for a moment in complete silence; Bella was the first to break it.

"You seem to have taken a strong liking to her, is she?" Bella didn't really finish her sentence; I could tell she either didn't really know how to state what she wanted to say or that she couldn't bring herself to say it out loud. But I wanted her to say it. Right now only the pack knows that I have really imprinted while everyone else, aka the leeches, kept avoiding it. To be honest I think I know why they are all avoiding the topic; it was because Bella and I had feelings for each other and that damn Edward not only knows, but is also a jackass nice guy about it.

It's true. I did have feelings for Bella, but that's the thing; I DID have feelings for her. Because no matter how hard I tried, or how hard I fought for not only her love but for her future; she kept reeling me in then smacking me right in the face. The funny thing about imprinting is yes it screws up your entire perception of the world; one moment I thought I was in love with Bella, had control over who I love, and still had some grasp on my own future. Then the one person, my soul mate, takes one look at me and everything I ever knew went right out the window. I thought I would be more upset that I wasn't in love with Bella anymore or the fact that my life now revolved around a girl I just met. But somehow my life that was suddenly put into a blender gradually started to form something new and surprisingly good. The dreams, hopes, and desires of my old life was pulsed together and now everything is coming back as one of the best smoothies the world can offer. Oddly enough after imprinting I could see things clearly, if that makes any since. I realized Bella was not the one for me and that we were never supposed to be together. I was trying to make something out of nothing and with the wedding coming up it is safe to say that it is time for the both of us to move on; and now I can finally accept that. I think meeting Hermione has allowed my heart to open up again and I realize there is more to life, and that life does not have to include Bella. But I cannot truly accept my new fate unless Bella accepts the truth too.

I refused to give in and say what I know is on her mind; instead I kept my eyes on the painting. Again we stood there in silence, I could tell that Bella was getting nervous and Edwards's voice started to creep into my mind. I forced him out; for once I was in control, this was my future not hers. Bella had her chance with me, she had more than enough chances; and I will be damned if she ruins this for me. I know that I sound like a ass and that Edward always seemed to have the upper hand when it came to being the perfect boyfriend. But for the first time in a very long time, I think I finally found a little light. My life has been a rollercoaster ride and to be honest sometimes at night I can't even think about sleeping. My mind keeps wandering into dark territories; visions of me turning into a wolf and never being able to turn back again. The overwhelming fear that the wolf inside of me will take hold of my soul and engulf me until the Jake everyone once knew was dead and all that remained is vampire hunting werewolf. But now there is a light that can guide me out of the dark woods and maybe help me find myself again, the old Jake; and that light is Hermione.

Both of our thoughts were interrupted when Alice called Bella over for some tea, and with that Bella gave me one last look; waiting for me to say something until she gave up and walked away. It hurt me to see Bella like that, but she never really realized how many times she had hurt me; so many times that I was used to the pain and was numb to it. So I shrugged it off and continued to look at the paining on the wall, it really is a beautiful painting. I was so lost in thought that I didn't even feel the door open until suddenly I was falling backwards. It took me a second to realize what was going on but quickly my senses returned and I found myself flat on my back staring up at Carlisle, Rosalie, and most of all, my imprint. Why my wolf instincts couldn't kick in when I needed them the most, and why didn't Carlisle help a guy out? Who knows? So what do you do when the girl of your dreams is looking at you after you made an awesome entrance? Introduce yourself.

"Uummmm so we never got to really meet? I'm Jacob Black! It's nice to meet you."

She laughed, she was whole heartily laughing at me and I could not ask for a better response. I almost died when I heard her laugh, her laughter sent me on a high and even though I was still on the ground it felt like I was floating on cloud nine. Maybe I do have a chance with her, and at that moment I made a vow that I will see her laugh like that again, that I wanted to be the one to make her smile.

So here we are now, I had finally gotten up off the floor and with a pat on the back Carlisle led us over to the living room where Hermione sat herself on one couch and, thanks to Carlisle, I found myself on the opposite couch. Esme offered Hermione some tea which she gladly accepted; and by this point the entire Cullen family, plus Sam, had all gathered in the living room as well.

"Thank you for the tea, but I do feel bad for drinking the present that I brought for you all." Everything that comes out of that girls mouth make me adore her more and more, and now to add on to the list of things I love about her is her kindness towards everyone. She is truly sincere.

"Well tea is the best when it can be shared with others; and while you were gone we decided as a family that we want to help you in any way we can. I don't know about everyone else but I just do not feel right letting you fight this all alone." Esme said gently placing herself on the arm of the couch next to her husband. Carlisle nodded in agreement. "If these wizards are indeed vampires then we have a duty to help preserve the peace, not only for the people in this area, but also for the safety of this family. Can I assume that the pack agrees and will also be assisting?" Carlisle said looking to Sam who had surprisingly been standing very quietly in the background.

"Yes, the pack and the elders will be meeting tonight to confirm our new course of action. This most likely will result in another compromise to our treaty." Sam said as he joined in. He stood tall and strong, making his presence known.

"Of course, after your meeting I think it will be best for us to have a meeting to discuss the temporary treaty as well as our possible new patrol times and other matters." Carlisle said looking around to see if everyone agreed. I sure as hell agreed. The fact that there are vampires that can use magic, that are after Hermione, and she is fighting them all alone is enough to make me sick. I hate to ask any of the bloodsuckers for help, but this is bigger than any of us. The battle that raged on only days ago is something I thought only happened in movies. You would think that being able to change into a wolf and chased vampires was enough to convince anyone that there are stranger things in this world, but wizards? Are you serious? To top it all off my imprint is stuck right in the middle of the whole thing. I am seriously considering calling the National Guard for some backup.

Everyone nodded in agreement and it looked like this was going to be round two of team VW. That was our code name for our first battle that we fought together, the vampire wolf team so VW for short. Everyone started to get up and mingle until we all forgot the main person of this fight was also sitting in the room.

"Excuse me?" Hermione said, raising her hand as if she had a question to ask and was waiting for the teacher to call her name. Everyone stopped and looked at her, many with looks of confusing.

"It is very kind of you all to agree to help me, but unfortunately this is a matter that I must deal with alone. I have strict orders to keep this operation as confidential as possible and I am allowed assistance, but I am afraid that this solution might make things more complicated." Hermione met the gaze of a few of the Cullen's and Sam's until she lowered her head and decided to finish her discussion to the cup of tea. "I truly do appreciate all the help and kindness you have given me, but I think it will be best if I relocate to a different part of the woods and try to end my mission as quickly as possible. Hermione placed her cup on the coffee table and once again tried to make her exit, but the Cullen's were more dedicated to helping her out than I originally thought.

"Miss. Granger I do not think you understand how much this matter does affect us. We have worked very hard to keep the peace in this area, especially when other vampires come and start trouble. Have you heard of the Volturi?" Hermione nodded in agreement allowing Carlisle to continue. "Well they have the ultimate power and you see the Volturi is upset that our Bella knows so much about us and our world; so they want her either dead or turned into one of us. Now she has decided to join this family after Edward and her are married, which the date has been set and is coming up soon. But until that time we cannot give the Volturi any reason to come here any sooner. Also I just cannot bring myself to let you do this all on your own, unless you can tell me exactly what your reasons are, we will help you out in any way possible." Hermione stood there mouth slightly open in pure awe. We all were waiting for her to say something, anything; instead she let out a deep sigh and started to massage the bridge of her nose.

"I am not saying yes or no. How about in two days' time let's all meet again and I will have my answer for you. I need to contact some people first, when I get permission to continue I will answer any of your questions, and we can work something out." Hermione said looking at both Carlisle and Sam. Everyone nodded in agreement and it was settled; in two days we will all meet again and hopefully find out what exactly is going on with these wizard vampires. The Cullen's slowly started to disperse as Sam and I made our way over to Hermione.

"Hermione Granger? My name is Sam; it is nice to meet you." Sam said extending his hand to Hermione. "It was us that originally found your campsite and if you were deciding on moving may I suggest were you could go? We all know the woods like the back of our hands and I would personally feel better having your campsite where we can find you." Sam asked politely, shaking Hermione's hand. Even behind the sunglasses you could tell that Hermione looked somewhat confused; Sam's hand was the complete opposite of Carlisle's, mainly because his hand is warm and is actually on the warmer side compared to normal people.

"So if you would like to move we will be more than willing to help. Also I would like to personally invite you to a bonfire that we are having tonight. There will be food; and since we are also going to be assisting you I would like you to know about our history. I think you will be very interested in our special abilities." Sam said giving Hermione's hand one last light squeeze and letting it go. From the look on her face I knew Sam had reeled her in, and from the second Sam's hand took hold of hers I knew exactly what he was doing.

First of all he knew I want Hermione as close as possible and right now her campsite was more on the Cullen's side of the treaty line. So by helping her move we can relocate her more on our side and closer to us. Also since I have clearly imprinted on her eventually she will have to know the truth about us, so that means bonfire time; and the sooner the better. Hopefully no one will spill the beans about imprinting; if anyone was going to tell her about imprinting it was going to be me. Also I want her to like me for me, and I want her to see that I really do care for her and not because I have imprinted on her. Even though I could marry her on the spot I think the best thing we could do is take things slow. I want to learn everything about her and the best way to do that is become friends first, then hopefully the rest will fall into place.

Sensing that Hermione was getting a little overwhelmed I swallowed my pride and mentally messaged Edward to step in and help.

"That sounds like a good idea and I think you would really find the meeting fascinating." Edward said walking over to us. Hermione, finally gave into the pressure, agreed; sometime I would have to thank him, which is going to be humiliating; but so worth it. I still don't care for the guy, but maybe we can become friends? Hermione thanked everyone again and I found myself following her outside into the sunlight. She absolutely glowed in the sun and she seemed to naturally gravitate toward it. Her hair took on an even more golden brown color and she just shined; plain and simple.

"I am going to go on ahead and inform everyone what's going on. See you guys tonight." Sam said as he started to make his way into the woods. Once he had vanished from view I knew he had turned and was most likely half way back to the reserve. We stood there for a second in silence, both staring at where Sam had disappeared too.

"So what would you like to do first? Pack up you stuff then find a new spot, or find a new spot first and then go and get your stuff?" I asked taking a few steps towards the woods. Hermione stayed in her spot, now rubbing the side of her temples.

"Might as well gather up everything first then go find a new spot." Hermione said with another big sigh, she started to walk toward me and soon we were walking side by side into the woods.

"I hate to say I feel a lot better that we are walking, I thought you might whip out a broom and fly off." I said with a chuckle, Hermione lightly giggled.

"Oh I have a broom, but I am not very good at flying".

To Be Continued… and get ready for some juiciness!
