Chapter 17:

"Long time, no see," He said smiling.

I didn't want him to smile like that. If it wasn't happy, he shouldn't be smiling. But the nature of this smile was different. Like a predator had his prey cornered. And that's exactly what I was, trapped. I wanted badly to be in Edward's arms. I wanted him to pull me into a tight hug and gently kiss my hair. Not staring into eyes that looked like they were smiling in the same disgusting way. I hated him. I hated Jacob with a passion.

"Bella, I know you must not feel so great about me, but you'll come around." Suddenly, the rest of the pack was behind him. I took a reflexive step back and, had I been human, would have tripped. He smiled brighter.

"Bella, don't be like that please." His face softened and I almost saw a glimmer of my Jacob. Then his smile was plastered on his face. And it came. He loved me feeling that way about him. He loved me going crazy over him when he was sad or lonely.

"Jacob, I will only say this once, I do not want you here, and I don't want you here, ever."

"Bella, I don't want to be here either. I want you to come with me. Back to La Push and be with me."

"I don't want you, I want to be here, with Edward."

"You don't mean that, you've been brainwashed."

"No Jacob. You brainwashed me. You lied and cheated to make me sorry for you. It was all done out of pity and you are okay with that?"

"Bella, was sad. I-."

"You were sad I wasn't with you so you tricked me. In everything it wasn't done because I loved you, it was because I felt bad for you."

"Bella, you loved me."

"No, Jacob."

"You have to come with me. You really don't have a choice."

"What?"

"I'm not going to do this," said Leah from behind Jacob, "I am not going to get involved in your obsession; all you think about is her. You think about being with her non-stop and she doesn't want you. Get over her!"

"Shut up!" roared Jacob.

"What is she talking about?" I asked.

"You have to come with us Bella. Sam, she isn't safe here."

All at once the wolves came up to me. They grabbed my arms and legs. I tried to get free, but my vampire strength was human to all of these dogs.

"Hold her still!" cried Jacob to one of them. "Grab her other leg. Jeez, Bella, you got some strength now."

I tried to twist and wriggle as best I could and before I could think, Edward, and his family, were through the kitchen door.

"Edward!" I cried.

"Let her go!" he roared. Then there was air rushing past me, and I could see a blur of a forest seen where there wasn't dogs holding me.

"Edward will lose us if we can get into the water. We are better swimmer than he is, we can't beat him running!"

Then the black water was around me as we plunged into water that, to a human, would be freezing. I tried to crane my neck back and see behind me. Jacob was holding my arm, and swimming at full power, Sam was opposite of him and below two others had death-grips on my legs, I tried to kick them off but they were not to be removed. Bella where are you? We are coming for you don't worry, were coming. I didn't need to be told who that was. Edward.

I thought of who easy it would be when he followed my scent. Then I was disappointed when I remembered he wouldn't be able to smell me under water. I released whatever air I had. I kept trying to kick them off. The ankle of my pants was pushed up by the death-grip revealed the pale skin of my ankle. That was when I first felt their touch. It burned. It felt like I was being burned with fire. I screamed in pain.

He let go and resumed the death-grip when he pulled down the ankle of my pants. I tried kick again, to see if this had fazed him, it didn't.

I wanted to be able to talk to Edward. Tell him where I was. I tried to yell, "Edward, I'm under water!" It came through clear, but I doubted he heard it. I waited, and waited. When we came out of the water, I didn't see anything that gave away where we were.

"Where are we?" I asked Jacob, putting in a much venom as I could.

"I'm not going to tell you," he taunted.

"That is going to give it away though." I said nodding toward I sign that displayed, "Welcome to Oregon."

"'Welcome to Oregon,' that certainly does put a damper on my plans." Then we started to run again. I saw roads, and then more trees. There was a lot of abandoned warehouses.

"In there." Jacob instructed.

We entered the warehouse and Jacob shut and locked the door.

"So, how have you been?" he asked.

"Annoyed."

He smiled and turned to Quil and Embry who had been holding my legs. I looked around for how to get out. There were no windows, and judging from the size of the massive door, three-feet of concrete for the walls. The door was thick steel that slid. I ran full force into it using the side of my body.

"Bella," Jacob said, "you can't get through." When I pulled away, there was a imprint of my body deep in it. "Bend it all you want, but you can't get through."

I went to the lock and tried to smash it. I only crumpled, but it held the door shut. I shoved back and forth vigorously to try and break it open. It failed. I was frustrated and tried again and again to smash through the door.

I tried the concrete. I smashed against it with all my force. Again, I only smashed in another imprint of myself.

"Nice! She broke the lock, how are we supposed to get out!"

"Don't worry, I have a food supply."

"What about me?"

"You're fine, you'll live. More or less."

I glared at him. Then I looked around the warehouse. There was two refrigerators, one little bed, and a phone. I looked up and there were to buzzing lights on the ceiling, and the ground was linoleum. I walked over and sat on the bed. I closed my eyes and tried to close my eyes and pretend I wasn't wolfnapped.
