Part b.

Cara:

Oh, god… I'll never cheat on a chem test again, I'll do the laundry when Dad asks me too, I'll say I love you more just please, please don't let him bite me! All sound muted and my eyes scrunched shut as I silently pleaded with whatever force is out there to let some miracle occur. What happens when a vampire bites a werewolf? Maybe I'm immune to it or maybe I would become something ten times worse.

Stefan didn't dig his fangs in far, though, and I barely felt the sting when he was suddenly yanked away from me, scratching my neck slightly as his teeth were pulled out. My hand shot up to my throat but there wasn't a lot of blood, thank GOD! For a second, I had really thought "this is it". Death by bite.

My father leapt forward and pulled me to him, away from whatever was happening behind me. Crouching together in the shadows, I could barely believe my eyes. Either this really was a miracle or something very strange was going on.

Isabella Cullen- Jacob's former love- was squaring off against Stefan. If I thought she looked drop-dead gorgeous before, now there weren't words to describe it. Her brown hair fanned out around her and her gold eyes burned. But where, I thought, was her husband, always glued to her side? And there he was, creeping up behind Stefan. I almost couldn't breath.

"W-who's that?" Dad whispered. I didn't know how to answer, they were so different from the couple I had met twice. There was a silent rage as they both attacked and Stefan reacted. One minute, there were three immortal people the next, just blurs and streaks of color.

A tree on my left quivered and for a split second, I saw Edward lying on the ground but he vanished just as suddenly. I should have run back to the Pack but I had a feeling they were okay. If two of the Cullens were here, wouldn't the rest be close by?

And in minutes, it was over. I literally blinked and there he was, headless and still. I might even have felt a little repulsed by the fact that his neck ended as a stub, but then again, he did kidnap my dad and kill an innocent student. Bella was suddenly standing in front of me, smiling sweetly as if I had just invited her over for tea and not as if she had just decapitated someone. Behind her, Edward was busy starting a fire. For what, I didn't know.

"Are you two alright?" She asked. We nodded- Dad a bit hysterically- and she smiled tightly again before running off, taking the stench with her. I noticed the worried glance Edward threw in the direction she had gone before he turned back to stare at me with those unsettling gold eyes.

"The blood on your neck. She's fine otherwise" He said and nodded to my father and disappeared. For some reason, I couldn't help but feel hurt that he had run off so quickly but I shook my head and common sense came flooding back. Smoke that did not look like smoke was billowing from the fire he had built and I realized where Stefan's body had gone. I gulped.

I dodged my dad's questions as we hiked back to where he had been held captive. He had so many, which I guess is understandable. Werewolves Chris Jamison could take, but vampires too? There were just some things better left for rainy days- which meant tomorrow in La Push, Washington- and I had a feeling this was going to take a long time to explain.

"Cara!" Jake ran up to me in his cut off shorts and wrapped his arms around me, not caring that my father was standing right next to me. I hugged him around the waist, temporarily forgetting everything but the way he felt, until my dad cleared his throat.

"Nice to see you again, Jacob" Dad said with a grin before mumbling to me under his breath, "I knew it!"

That was something else better left for a rainy day. There were two other fires going, each sending up that weird colored smoke. Embry and Leah were huddled close together and I grinned when Embry caught my eye, making him roll his. I had to admit, they made a cute couple. Paul limped over to me, leaning on Sam's arm while Jared and Quil seemed completely fine- give or take a few bruises.

"A few got away so we're going to have to stay alert for a while" Sam said but there was a difference in the way he stood, more at ease like the world had been lifted off his shoulders. I knew how he felt and it hadn't even hit me- hadn't even begun to make sense. How could it have ended so quickly?

"Ha, I'd like to see them try anything now" Quil did a little dance that looked oddly like something from the Rocky movies. But he froze when his eyes wondered over to me. "Cara! Your neck"

My hand came up and I felt the sticky blood just beginning to dry from Stefan's almost bite. Jake of course freaked out, turning my neck this way and that, looking deep into my eyes for any trace of red. I think he was scared that I had ended up like Bella. Cold and undead. But when he accepted that maybe I still had a pulse he sighed, his hands no longer shaking.

"If you ever start, I don't know… seeing red or thirsting for something other than soda, tell me, okay?" He tilted my face up to his and I didn't even blush when he kissed me, my father standing not too far away. He'd have to get used to me and Jake being together because little did he know, we'd be together forever.

By the time the fires had gone completely out and we finally made it back to the outskirts of La Push, the sun was just about to come up. Jake's hand held mine and they swung slightly between us as we walked. It was hard to believe that something that had started weeks ago could end in one night. Stefan had said they were colleagues, so who was their boss? When would he show up? Not tomorrow, that's for sure so for the moment, I just relished the fact that the drama was temporarily over. I let everything go except for Jacob's hand.

"You'll be alright, though?" He asked for the billionth time as my house finally came into view.What a great way to end the day. Cleaning up a mess I didn't even make. I cringed at the thought of what the inside of my house looked like. I was exhausted and the last I wanted to do was move torn up furniture outside.

"Yes- yes, yes, yes. You can stay if you don't believe me" I put my hands on his waist and he put his on my shoulders, standing at the base of my stairs. I had to lean back to look up into his face. Mental note- make him stop growing.

"No, he cannot. No offense, Jacob, I like you- I do. But me and my daughter have some things to discuss" Dad called from the door, giving me a look that clearing said "I'll be watching from the living room window so no groping or I'll go buy a chastity belt"

"Sorry, turns out I can't stay. But I'll see you later" He leaned down and planted a sweet, quick kiss on my lips that warmed me from my head to my toes and whispered in my ear, "I love you".

"I love you, too, Jake" I whispered back and he chuckled that deep, husky laugh I loved so much.

"Yeah, yeah. I know" One last kiss and he bounded off into the woods, his tall figure disappearing in the shadows. It was weird, but those shadows didn't seem so bad anymore. Yesterday, I would have avoided looking at them- afraid something would come chasing out of them- but today, I stared into them long after Jake had disappeared.

"Alright" I sighed. "Let's get to that talk" and slammed the door shut behind me.

Kay.. so I think this story is sort of ending itself and I'll get a couple more chapters in but what do you want me to do after? Continue the story or do something else? It's your call so let me know cause I have no clue. Oh, and sorry it took sooooooo freaking long to update. Writer's block and then, once I finally came up with something, my internet went all pyscho on me. Thank you for reviewing and reading and all that sturrffff.
