A/N: Again I'm so sorry I've kept everyone waiting. I've been so busy, but no excuses to leave you hanging like that. So here it is the next chapter of Stay.

Jacob's point of view:

I watched, through Sam's eyes, the newborns. They marched forward until they caught the scent of the Cullens. They split off into two groups. I was surprised, the little bloodsucker was right. Sam took the others around to head off the ambush party. Edward was narrating from inside the tent. "Hmm that's interesting. Edward's hearing my thought while I'm reading the pack's mind," I thought to myself.

"Get back to the fight Jacob," Edward ordered. Stupid controlling bloodsucker. Well, he does have a point . . . No stop there Edward is still a vile leech who. . . "Jacob!" Edward was scowling now. I growled back but did as I was told.

The pack was crouched down in the overgrowth of the forest just outside the meadow. They heard the snarls emanating from both sides. They were quick and skilled, but the newborns were stronger; we could see that from here. The small one danced in circles around two bumbling newborns who inevitably crashed into each other. Emmett's booming laugh filled the clearing as he tore a particularly devilish vampire's leg off.

The second group sauntered toward us cautiously. They were completely oblivious to us hiding, ready to pounce. One of the leeches stiffened as he caught our scent. Leah hurled toward him and took him out before any of them could turn. Leah was quite fast and agile I had to admit. Sam helped her finish him off. Embry and Paul are both attacking while the rest of the pack moved to the defense.

Seth was being kept in the back while the others moved cautiously, analyzing their opponents' movements. We tried to circle them, but Paul tried to lead out in front of Sam. The vampires huddled together like a balloon ready to burst.

Edward's criticisms in the background made it hard to concentrate. I growled, but no one noticed. He continued to watch the match through my mind like a filter.

Our outer flanks, Jared and Embry, charged the center of the circle. In all the confusion Sam and Leah herded them back toward the clearing. Seth had to prove himself and jumped into the fight too. The vampires defended themselves; they were clearly uncomfortable clawing and pushing as we charged. They wanted to get the upper hand that we were in possession of.

My mind went blank as the scent, no scents first hit me. The red head was here with another. I rushed to Bella and Edward's sides.

I stared at Edward, "I'm here to fight with you it will be easy," I urged in my mind.

"No," he hissed, "Wait for the ambush. GO!"

There wasn't much time left until they arrived so I followed suit sprinting off into the trees. I waited so that my scent was too faint for them to detect. I didn't like waiting so far off from the potential battle. The distance made any conversation almost impossible to hear even with my ears.

A small blond boy approached first. He would be the easier target, but his muscles were impressive. I would take him. Next came the red head- "Victoria" Bella had once told me- she seemed to be in a permanent crouch, ready to pounce at a moment's notice. Hatred boiled inside me as she focused on her intended prey. I could almost see her formulating attack patterns inside her mind as she concentrated on Bella's face.

Victoria nodded toward Edward signaling the small boy. Edward spoke calmly to him. I strained my ears to catch every third word in the conversation. I focused all my energy to block out the rest of the pack who were trying to finish their lot so that they could move out and help us.

The small boy was Riley, but that didn't matter to me much. As far as I was concerned he was dead.

Edward must have said something to agitate Victoria because she snarled at his voice and bore her malicious glare deeper into Bella. I crawled through the brush to get in better earshot of the exchange. I stopped dead in my tracks as I heard Victoria's helium induced voice. Riley shift his weight forward ready to strike and Victoria did the same.

That was my cue. I hurtled out of the trees with my teeth bared and aimed at Riley's neck. He was fast, and got out of my path with no time to spare. I landed on my feet and skidded across the gravel. Riley lunged at me and I kicked him back against the cliff face only a few feet from Bella. "Stupid" I growled at myself.

I glanced over at Edward and Victoria. They were in a mix of dancing and circling each other. Edward's "ability" obviously gave him that upper hand.

Riley got up and peeked at Bella who cringed back. I flung myself in between them throwing Riley hard into a tree that snapped simultaneously. His eyes glowed fervently. Huge thunderous booms came from behind me. I turned my head for a fraction of a second and Riley charged throwing me to my back. I stuck out my arm in defense and he bit. The sting surged through my body as I threw Riley off of me.

I rolled over and leaned all my weight into his rib cage and stomped. Nauseating, metallic cracks reverberated off the surrounding trees. Meanwhile, Edward and Victoria's fight had heated up. They moved in sync with one another at high velocity speeds.

I turned back to Riley, who was unnecessarily gasping for air, and went in for the kill. I was confident, this fight was over.

We collided with a deafening boom. Clawing and kicking and biting, this kid was persistent. He caught me up side the head and I fell onto the most inconveniently placed rock. I closed my eyes and waited for Riley to come closer.

"JACOB NO!!" My eyes flew open as I saw Bella reach for me. I forgot everything for that one second. That one second was all it took for Riley to dig the rock into my skull.

I could smell the blood and feel the sickening pain; I couldn't recover form this one. I moaned weakly as Riley leaned over my body slowly being drained of life. He was inches from my face. His revolting sneer gave me the last bit of strength I needed to pull him close and rip his head off. I pushed the writhing body away from me as I laid my head back down and accepted my fate.

Bella was sobbing and I opened my eyes just enough to see her step towards me. Victoria saw this and missed her step in the dance. Edward took advantage of this and threw her up against a near by tree. In one smooth swipe he took her head off as well.

Bella was on hands and knees crying my name. I smiled the best I could and let the darkness overcome me.

A/N: I'm finally done and it only took me until 2 in the morning. I hope you enjoyed it. I wanted to add that I'm not completely heartless; in the end I felt bad about killing off Jacob. But it was already set in my mind so I couldn't change it. However, he did go out in a flame of glory for everyone's benefit.

Please review! ! ! I love hearing from you guys and to know that my stories are being enjoyed, but if not I still want to know so please review.
