Chapter 3)

Jacob POV

I ran as fast as I could to make it on time. I even tripped again falling back into the water of the border before I crossed it. If I didn't hurry I was going to be late for patrol. The cool air against my wet jeans kind of made me wish those same chilled hands from earlier had been there to catch me. My mind could not stop creating the images of his smooth pale face accompanied by his eyes. The look was so piercing but so gentle and...I..I I can't believe I'm saying these things about a leech.

I was only a few minutes away from Emily's house and I was almost late. If I phased I could make it in time but I couldn't. 'He' was the only thing that I could think about and I couldn't risk the pack finding out but Sam would have my pelt if I was late. Then the greatest idea hit me. If I could keep my mind off the vamp ahhh leech I would be okay but if I had to think about him I can use Bella as a substitute. It was a theory but it was only option but since when did Bella become a backup thought.

I phased at full speed with paws uprooting the dirt. I arrived just as everyone else had began phasing. They all turned as I took my place in the pack circle.

'I see you made it just in time. The way you stormed out earlier I almost thought you wouldn't come back.' -Sam

'I just needed some time to clear my head'

'Ok well now that your back you and Seth can patrol the south end. Paul, and Jared will patrol the east. Quil and Leah will go west while Embry and I head north. Stay alert everyone.' -Sam

Seth and I took off along with everyone else in our respective directions when Sam was done assigning us to our posts running for what seemed a long time. I was doing great. I was in the best condition to patrol than I had been in a week. I was focused, alert, full of energy but most of all focused.

Seth and I split like we usually did after we had ran a mile and began to circle around in our opposite directions. The night air that once beat against my soaked shorts now felt like a refreshing breeze through my fur. I stopped. My nose was held in the air as a downwind draft swiftly changed direction and as it did it brought an unwelcome stench. Rapid footsteps became increasingly louder but stopped. I looked left and right but there was nothing. The draft of the wind once again changed which only meant what ever I was looking for was again down wind.

'Jacob do you really think it's a leech'-Sam

'Yea Sam'

'Well are you sure your not smelling yourself'-Leah.

With that last comment everyone's overlapping thoughts went straight to the fact that I smell a little.,...well dead when I got back. I could feel the memorizes swelling up inside. I tried to fight them, push them aside but I continued to feel them rise. Bella was my last resort. I found myself thinking about the night I hopped through her window. She was so shocked. I let myself completely get absorbed by that memory. My eyes closed from the fear. No not of the memories of the leech that were rising but from the fantasy that followed them. Of that instance where I stared into his eyes and I actually...no i had to get back to Bella. My eyes clenched tighter but Bella's face was slowly fading. Then I heard it. The loud thud of feet in front of me. I opened my eyes to see long black hair vanish somewhere behind me. Before I could turn my massive body I felt cool hands on my fur. They grabbed me and pushed me into a tree. The impact made my vision blurry. I staggered but was out of time. That same freezing grip had me by the fur throwing me into the ground and back into a tree. I could feel my consciousness slipping but not before a man's voice rang soft in my ear.

"You're not the one I'm looking for but you have a hint of his smell on you. It looks like my trip was in vain. Victoria had a message for me to deliver to him. She has something of his and she wanted to return it after he took away from her the one she loved but then again maybe this trip wasn't all bad.

Drifting in and out the words were barley coherent.

"I guess some mutt blood will be tasty but I think I will have to break your neck first to make sure you don't move. I'm pretty sure you can still hear and move."

He was right I could but my body wasn't reacting how it should have. I could hear the racing thoughts as the whole pack rushed to me I just didn't know if they would make it in time.

I opened my eyes to see the dark male stand over me. His hands were laced together. It looked like he would break my neck in one hit. My body still wouldn't move how I wanted it to. I couldn't, I refused to die here at the hands of some leech. The masculine fist came down and I closed my eyes. Then I heard it

"NO JAKE"

My eyes sprung open and in one motion my body jerked with enough energy to bound myself out of the way. The leech stared at me with an inkling of surprise which faded away. It faded away after my four of my legs caved underneath my weight.

"You just don't know when to quit you impudent mutt"

He leapt into the air. This was it, no good-byes, no last words, just the end. His eyes met mine. He was the true predator and I can't believe I was the prey. 'this is it'

'No it's not Jake I'm here'

Seth bolted through the trees. The leech caught off guard was trapped in between his teeth and thrown to the ground with force that would kill any human.

'Don't ever give up on me like that again Jake'

His voice rang through my mind sending me waves confidence and power. It was enough to keep me conscious though blood was pouring out of me but movement was out of the question. Seth backed slowly not taking his eyes off of the dark dreaded leech.

'Jake can you stand' his thoughts becoming more hesitant and fearful with every passing second.

'No. My limbs haven't healed yet. I'm banged up pretty bad'

'That's what I was hoping you wouldn't say'

I wondered why he would say those words but I was reminded of the still 'living' dead leech. Seth's body and mind filled with fear. The adrenaline from his surprised attack subsided.

"Well that was cute but the next time you attack your enemy with intent to kill I suggest you kill them before they have a chance to respond. I will enjoy killing you both" he paused. "Some other day" he turned around and disappeared through the branches. His footsteps could be heard faintly and he didn't seem to be alone. Two other pair if feet could be heard running away.

Seth relaxed and turned his attention to me. He shoved my body with his snout and relaxed by my side.

'I'm okay Seth. Really I will be fine'

The pack finally arrived surrounding me and Seth as he lie at my side. I heard Sam tell me to phase back and with the last amount of energy I could muster I changed. After that I finally lost consciousness and enjoyed a well deserved nap.

That next day after patrolling Billy was still asleep after I awoke. I could hear his snoring through the walls of the old wooden house. I limped down stairs bandged still feeling pain from the previous night. I opened the front door only to have it creek to a halt. There was a figure standing in front of me I looked up to see a tall broad figure. It was none other than Sam and he looked more concerned than ever.

"Jacob we need to talk."

My hand dropped from the handle of the door as I met my Alpha with my full attention.

"About what?" I asked knew full well it would be about. Last night.

"I think your feelings towards Bella are affecting you more than you or anyone else truly realizes.

"No they haven't."

"Well still everyone has come to the conclusion that it would best if you stopped patrolling for a while until you were completely one-hundred percent again."

"So I have been distracted lately, I can fix that. There is no reason I should stop patrolling."

"Jacob it's not just you being distracted. Ever since Bella left you can't sleep, you can't eat, and you cant stop thinking about her.

Wow was I that cliché or was it really love. I admit that I didn't feel the same since she had left forgetting meals and having restless nights but still i never thought I would be so inadvertently cliché but that still didn't matter I wanted ...no I needed to protect my home and everyone. From leeches and any other danger. I needed to know the people i loved were safe and never loose anyone again like I did Bella.

"Jacob I know you may be angry and refuse this but look at it this way. You are more likely to put the pack in danger as unfocused as you are than being one less wolf member short."

Sam was serious and determined to help me understand the risk I was putting myself and everyone else in.

"Jacob last night was the worst night yet and completely unacceptable. You really are lucky Seth made it in time."

Wait last night was the worst night? I wasn't even thinking about Bella. Wait yes I was to get Edward out of my head... did I just say Edward? Oh this is worse than I thought. How could one encounter affect me so much. This was all his fault. Sam wasn't going to let me patrol, I was still injured, and most of all it's his fault why I was angry.

"Jacob are you ok. You don't look so good"

He was right. I didn't feel to good. It felt as if my whole body was on fire. I took a step forward and everything went black.

"Billy! Billy wake up. Jake has passed out" Sam yelled into the house.

Urg I blame that stupid leech for this too.

Edward POV

Alice left my room after her last brain boggling words were spoken. All night I pondered and paced throughout my room and the whole house. When the sun's silhouette showed its self from behind the clouds I could tell it was morning. I paced and pondered for so long I was shocked not to see a rut of my path. I sat back on the sofa again and lied horizontal. Alice always had a habit of knowing things but why couldn't I know and what did it have to do with that mutt? She can't see them in her visions so she can't have known I would meet him but then again if my future disappeared for a brief time then it would probably mean I was with one of the wolves but then why would she.. apple... hug... smile... dog.

"AHHH" I screamed and ran my hands through my hair repeatedly every now and then grabbing and giving it a slight tug. I couldn't figure out why I was so frustrated. Ok so Alice knew something. It's not like I had anything to hide but if I didn't why did I lie when I got home. I screamed again while tugging harder at my hair. I stood up to start my excessive amount of pacing once again to only have Jasper place a hand on my chest and walk me backwards at my room door. He looked very agitated and frustrated but calm enough to speak in a low tone.

"Edward"

"Yes Jasper"

I felt a cold fist connect with the side of my face with weakly force but if I were human I knew I would have bruised. I let my face turn with the force of the fist. When Jasper's fist fell I looked at him with placid eyes.

"Thanks Jazz I needed that" I said while knowing that the punch was probably for his benefit as well. It was a new tactic for him to use compsred to being subtle but it really worked.

"You're welcome and anytime you're ready to talk about it Alice and I are here for you."

Jasper turned away and stopped in his tracks and turned back around.

"Oh I almost forgot. Esme wanted you to take Carlisle a few papers he forgot. Esme said he was called in and was in a rush because it was an emergency. Oh and when you change, burn those cloths".

I looked at myself to remember that in the midst of my pacing I didn't shower. I took off my cloths and left them folded by the window. I showered enough to get the now to familiar scent from yesterday off of my body. I walked down stairs and headed into the kitchen. I saw Alice and Rosalie unload different herbs and materials out of a grocery bag. Rosalie gave me a look that could have scared the feathers off an eagle.

'You could have showered last night!'

The thought was very annoyed and I couldn't tell it was a question or a comment. Esme walked into the kitchen behind me and handed me a folder.

"Here you go and you remember where to go right?"

"Yes the second floor" I replied sadly remembering the last time I had a reason to go the hospital was because of Bella. I made my way out of the house and to my Volvo. By the time I closed my door the passenger side door swung open and closed. Emmet was sitting in the passengers' seat.

"I really am bored and the house smells like mutt sex so I'll tag along with you"

I looked at Emmet and back over the dash board. Everyone didn't seem to be anywhere near happy that the house still lingered of dog. I made my way to the hospital at my usual barely legal speed. I parked in front of the building. Emmet and I stepped out of the car making out way inside to the front desk. The lady there recognized us as Carlisle sons and told us he was still dealing with an emergency but if we wanted to see him we could wait in his office. Emmet andI walked to the elevator and went up. As we exited the elevator we turned left and walked to the end of the hallway passing different doctors and nurses. Carlisle's office door was cracked. He must have really been in a rush to leaves the door open. We walked in and I set the vanilla folder on his desk.

"Eddy I hear Carlisle coming and he's not alone" said Emmet slightly perturbed.

I turned around to find Carlisle entering his office followed by who I believe were Billy Black and Sam Uley. Both men of the tribe looked very upset and worried.

"Carlisle" I said calmly "what exactly was the emergency?"

He looked up at me with fearful eyes.

"Jacob is unconscious and running a fever that could even kill him. He is getting worse and fast. If his temperature keeps rising he might just... die."

(a/n)ok did anyone expect thsat because even i didnt. anyway so i told you something HOT would happen and i think a fever fits that description. ok so no smut yet sowwy (x2). oh and if you leave me a random word in a review i might use it in the next chapter because i need things to spark ideas. ok until next time.
