Chapter 22

Hi, Jamie here! Now, READ THIS!!! Hopefully that would have gotten the attention of all the people who usually just skip these author notes because of my talking. It's NOT rambling, P! Anyway, the reason that I called you all over here is because Friday, February 1st is official I Love Edward Cullen day at our school. So if you want to support the man with the golden eyes, wear an Edward Cullen T-Shirt, or tape to your shirt, I love Edward or something. Just to show you're an Edward fan. We're counting on you guys, don't let us down! If you do it, tell me what outrageous thing you did on I Love Edward day. Or if you just wrote Edward on your shirt or something like that, tell me anyway. I want to hear. Whoever did the craziest thing, the next chapter is dedicated to you. So tell me in a review, a PM or by e-mailing me at hope you guys like this chapter, it took a while.

Also, Congrats to all who guessed what's going to happen. You get a big virtual cookie!

I'm not Stephenie Meyer, don't I wish?

Previously;

Edward's face was torn. He glanced frantically between me and his family.

"I love you Bella. I am so sorry." He whispered. I looked up into his topaz eyes one last time. "Bella." He whispered, though everyone in the room could hear. I saw the Cullens faces, torn between wanting to save themselves but didn't want me to have to die to do that.

The floor in the cage suddenly pulled apart. "I love you, Edward," I said softly before falling into the darkness.

BPOV

I tried not to let out a scream as I fell through the darkness, but it was inevitable. A loud scream echoed around the space. I prepared myself to hit the hard floor below.

I forced myself to close my eyes and thought of his face. Edward's. I wanted my final moments to be with those who loved me, if not in body, then at least in spirit. I could see clearly his golden eyes, his perfect smile, and his bronze hair. Little bits of him, separate at first, then coming together to form the bigger picture.

Then I hit something. But it wasn't the hard, cold floor that I had been prepared to slam into. No, it was something else. Something cold and warm. Too warm.

My eyes flew open as I stared up into the face that I thought I would never see again. The same russet colored skin, the same brown eyes, even the same hair color. But something was different. Was it the shape of the jaw? Something was different.

Jacob looked old, but now quite as old as I would have imagined him to be. Then, suddenly it dawned on me who this was.

I thought back to that day at my father's funeral, all those years ago.

(Flashback)

He had looked behind the tree. "Bella?" He had asked, wonder in his voice. "But you're dead." Then a realization seemed to hit him. "You're a vampire?" Now it was my turn to gasp.

"How did you know?"

"Well, I'm a werewolf." Jacob said simply. I just looked at him. "Here, you have to meet my son." He started to push me away from the trees. Then he seemed to realize I couldn't go out into the open. "Oh, right." He said. He went to get his son.

"This is Kevin." He smiled. "Kevs, this is Bella. She was my friend a long time ago." Kevin seemed shy. He didn't look me in the eye as he muttered, "Hi." Then he went back to hiding behind his father's legs.

(End flashback)

Kevin! That's who it was. I could feel the wonder plain on my face as I gazed up at him.

"Kevin! Why are you here? How did you get here? How did you beat Victoria's army? When-" I asked hurriedly, as though someone would surely kill us if we didn't speak fast enough.

"Whoa, one question at a time!" Kevin exclaimed. He seemed to realize that I wasn't going to fall any longer and put me back on my feet. I swayed for a second, the after affects of my clumsy time as a human, and then steadied myself.

"How did you get here?" I asked.

He looked confused for a second. "Didn't you call?"

What is he talking about? Call?

(Flashback)

Then I had to leave. I had to get back to Mary and Chris. I turned to leave. Jake pressed a necklace in the shape of a wolf into my hand. "If you ever need me, for anything, just squeeze this wolf tightly. I will be there."

I looked up at him, and knew that if I were human, I would have been crying. It was so sweet. But I wouldn't need him for anything. I was a vampire. A vampire who was strong and young and didn't need anyone help. But I knew I would keep the necklace anyway to remember him.

(End flashback)

I involuntarily reached up to touch the small wolf. It somehow felt more powerful then it had before. "Call you?" I asked him, looking up into his eyes.

"Yeah," he replied. "Don't you remember what my dad had said? 'If you ever need me, for anything, just squeeze this wolf tightly. I will be there.'"

"So why isn't Jacob here?" I challenged. Immediately I felt bad for bringing that up. Kevin's face fell the tiniest bit and his eyes lost some of the excitement that had bee there just previously. I wonder what had happened to him. I couldn't have expected him to be still alive. It had been ninety years, after all.

"Jacob, er, well, he actually hasn't been feeling too well," Kevin confessed, his eyes downcast. "Actually the pack has been wondering if you would stop in and see him. My mother just passed away last year, and ever since, his health has gone downhill. Will you go see him?"

"If we ever get out of this mess," I replied. This seemed to bring him back to the present, for the look of helplessness in his eyes turned to a look of determination.

"So, how did you get rid of the army?" I asked. There was no way that he alone could destroy countless vampires.

"I brought help," He said simply. I looked behind him for the first time and saw many familiar faces. Not of the original pack, but of their sons. They all had such striking resemblances to their fathers that I could tell exactly who each of their father was.

There was a Quil-looking type, one who looked just like Embry, and another one who was another Sam. They were all here. To help me.

The first smile I had had in a long time rose to my lips and I didn't cover it. Instead, I asked, "You guys ready to do this?"

And their answering smiles and nods actually made me believe that we could win this.

Sorry it was kind of short. Yay! The wolves saved Bella! In case you didn't realized, (Maybe it only made sense to me) The necklace kind of did something to let Jacob know Bella was in trouble, so he sent Kevin to try and save her.

Aww, I always knew I would never kill Edward or Bella! They're just too prefect together! Btw, who do you want to kill Victoria? I'll be having a vote, so let me know.
