Disclaimer: I own nothing *shakes head sadly*

AN: Not many chapters left, although I might write a followup story for when Jake transforms into a werewolf. Is anyone interested in a mainly Laurent/Jacob fic? With a side pairing of Harry/James. If I don't kill one (or both) of them of course; then it will be a side pairing of depression.

I'll go over and revise this story first though.

Also, in the books it says that vampires can only be killed by being ripped apart + burned but in the Eclipse movie they tore Victoria's head off and she crumbled to dust... I'm going to go with the second option to make this a fair fight.

-Chapter Fifteen: Eye of the Storm—

He had finally reached the place.

This was a fantastic thing. He climbed the rocks, jumping place to place. He could smell them.

Entering the mouth of the cave he yelled out a sarcastic 'honey, I'm home!'.

He heard a sharp intake of breath, and then the sound of feet running before he was engulfed in a fierce embrace. He held back just as tight, knowing his covernmate needed this, before pressing a light kiss to James' neck.

"So glad that you're safe," James breathed out, pressing their bodies closer together. If this was how James was reacting now, then he obviously hadn't been coping very well.

"No, I'm glad that you're safe," Harry pressed a trail of kisses up from James' neck to his jaw, he momentarily questioned his actions before brushing it off, he had always been overly affectionate with James. "Edward is coming to retrieve Bella. We should just go. We should just leave the human and run." Harry stepped back slightly to gauge his reaction.

James shook his head, backing off and pacing like a caged animal."They took you away from me! They need to pay for that!" He ran a hand possessively through Harry's hair and the vegetarian vampire felt his body involuntarily shiver.

"Hu-hush, let's just go okay?" Harry glanced around quickly before intertwining his hand with James' and tugging him slightly. "Edward was right behind me."

Edward suddenly leapt out of the bushing, tackling Harry and wrenching their hands apart. Harry let out a yelp of surprise and James growled, attempting to approach his mate only to have the mind-reader block his path.

"Harry," green eyes snapped up to meet his, "I love you." James launched himself at Edward, biting and clawing at any place he could reach. He saw Edward's hands come up to prepare to remove James' head from the rest of his body.

Harry stifled a gasp before running into the mouth of the cave.

"Hey Eddie!" he screamed, "I'm going to kill you lousy bint!" Harry took off, sprinting into the cave and Edward shot to his feet and started chasing him.

"Harry!" James cried out desperately, scrambling to his feet and surging forward. He was dimly aware of the fact that his arm was hardly joined anymore and he had to pause to let the bone, muscles and flesh knit back together, rejoining into a fully functioning arm once more.

Harry hadn't gotten very far at all, and an irate Edward was pulling him further onto the cave, snarling all the while. Harry whimpered breathlessly, trying to struggle free from the vice-like grip. His arm was also being held at a painful angle behind his back.

"Edward, don't hurt Ja-James. Take... take Bella and go." Harry didn't want James harmed, every fibre of his being wanted the other creature to survive, even if he himself was killed in his place. He couldn't explain it, but when he had seen James after such a long time he had just had a sudden all consuming need to cover the other man in chocolate and lick-.

A harsh tug pulled him from his thoughts.

"No!" Edward harshly tugged his arm and his shoulder popped; dislocated out of place would be his first guess. "He took her from me, he's mine, she's not his, my food!" He released Harry's hair, slamming a hand over his mouth in shock. He began muttering to himself, whispering that he would never eat Isabella, never.

Harry tutted sarcastically; hissing when the hand pulled him back by his hair once more. The taller vampire used his grip on the vampire to slam his head through the cave's wall.

"You know that you deserve this," Edward whispered reverently.

Jacob sat on the Cullen's couch, a worried frown marring his face.

"Are you sure he'll be okay?" he asked the seer once more.

"Yes," Alice muttered dazedly, patting his back, "fine, just fine."

"Oh... okay," Jake fidgeted nervously, shifting in his seat and glancing around the glass house.

He dimly realised that tears were streaming down his cheeks and a sob unexpectedly rose from his throat, he needed Laurent.

He would have no idea what to do if Laurent failed to return. The vampire had integrated into his life so well that he would be lost without him.

Vitoria laughed cruelly as Bella threw up at the scent of her own blood which was making a steady path down her arm.

"You call yourself the girlfriend of a vampire?" she snickered, "what would you do when you had to live on blood?"

"I would..." Bella coughed, "vampires all love blood, right?"

"Let's see!" Victoria collected some of the red liquid in her hand before covering Bella's nose and mouth.

Bella spluttered, unwillingly inhaling her own blood. Victoria moved away just as Bella threw up red vomit.

-WTSB—

Edward and Harry reached the main chamber just in time to see Bella throw up all over the cave floor. Edward instantly releases him and tackled Victoria to the ground.

Harry stared in horror as Edward snapped her neck and she crumbled to dust. James wrapped a hand around his arm and he froze, no longer held under Victoria's power.

"...Mate?"
