Hello all! Well guess who's back. Sorry it's been so long but I did not expect school to get so crazy after my show closed. But I am now done and in summer! I see more people reading and adding the story to their alerts list and that is wicked cool. Thanks for the patience, just for that I'll give you two chapters this time round. : ) hope you enjoy them!

One last thing, thanks for the luck Sunny Book Lover, I carried it through finals and I think I kicked some major butt.

*The Cullen's and Draco are the property of Stephenie Meyer and J.K. Rowling. Hardy and her pack on the other hand are all mine! : ) *

Draco's POV

Nessie ran to Jacob and held him back a little and was whispering to him to stay clam. I stood there glued to the spot. I could not even think of moving, unless it was closer to Hardy and right now it was clear that could not happen. But the pull was getting worse and I could not help wanting to jump in front of her and protect her from danger. I know I shouldn't feel this way; for one I knew Jacob would do nothing and two I had just seen her for the first time and should not even be thinking like this. How do you fight a pull this hard? All I could think of was holding her and comforting her. I know she had to be suffering and I wanted to take her away from it all and tell her she had no reason to worry. I could feel someone trying to get into my head, it had to be Edward, and he knew that if he needed to talk to me my powers would let me feel it. So I opened my mind.

Draco! You need to stay calm! Look I understand your feelings and I know you want to help but blowing your cover now everything will just go from bad to worse.

Edward, what do I do? I don't know how to control it!

Look, you will just have to. If she finds out you have been lying to her she will never give you a chance.

That stopped me in my tracks. He was right, I needed her to trust me if I was going to have any chance with her, and I wanted a chance with her so bad I could taste it. I would have to be patient. I would have to let it go until Draco Malfoy Cullen officially came into the picture. Edward could hear my conflict and tried to help.

Believe me I know what you are going through right now but you need to cool it. You are not helping. Jasper is freaking out right now and your crazy dilemma is driving him mad.

I looked at Jasper and he was eyeing me from the other end of our line. What's going on with Draco? He was all over the place with all the emotions in the air.

And what about Jacob Edward?

Draco just listen to him, he is not going to attack his great niece.

He was right. Jacob was a jumbled mess but attacking was the last thing on his mind…Niece? Rachel… How? Nessie. He wanted answers.

Carlisle decided to take charge again. "Look we mean you no harm young one. We do not judge because we ask you to do the same."

The pack was not going to move. They were protective of her and did not trust that the Cullens would not kill her for just being born.

Jacob composed himself and stepped forward. Nessie stayed close behind to make sure Jacob was ok. "Can I have a word with Hardy please?"

The pack grouped tighter around Hardy not willing to take one step away from her.

"Look I would like to have a private conversation with her if you don't mind. I will not harm her in any way, you have my word. If anything happens you have my permission and blessing to kill me."

Nessie did not look happy with that last statement, the rest of the family stiffened ad waited. And it was Hardy who broke the silence.

"Look, go you guys." No one moved. I could hear the screaming in their heads.

Yeah like that is going to happen, just look at them! The one called J.J. yelled

I don't like the looks of this, can we trust Jacob. Quil was thinking hard.

Like Robert would ever leave her side when she was in trouble. With those words from Joshua I focused in on the one called Robert. He had his hand on her shoulder, now that drove me crazy

I won't leave her, family or not, I won't Joshua was right he would not leave her. And with those thoughts a whole new reality occurred to me…Hardy might be taken. I couldn't be sure, he did have feelings for her, but I couldn't read what she felt for him. She was panicked about the whole thing but did not tale comfort in his touch.

Draco, together or not they have not imprinted, the feelings he has for her are no where near as strong as an imprint.

I know you're right.

You've been around Jacob long enough to know what it's like. With that I gave a sigh of relief. I had a chance. Look Draco, we need to let them have time. We can figure out your love life after this whole mess is over.

Hardy spoke again, not pleased with her pack.

"Ok seriously the no listening thing is getting really annoying and if you don't knock it off I will have no choice but to use the alpha order. Guys I'm a big girl, I know how to rip a head off if I have to."

"You four can wait at our home, it would be more comfortable," Carlisle added to be helpful.

The four of them looked back at Hardy who just firmly said, "Go before I make you go." With that the four of them began to follow the rest of the family.

I wanted to stay; I wanted to make sure everything would be alright. I think the physical distance would be too much for me to take. Of course Edward had his say…

Give them their privacy. They have a lot to work out, and you aren't even if forks yet remember?

Renesemee was giving her last comforting words to Jacob before we had to leave him alone with Hardy. Edward was standing there, Bella just a few steps ahead waiting to go. "Let's go," were his final words on the matter. And I turned to leave, vowing to myself that this would be the last time I allowed us to be apart. I would see her again and then revile myself and make her mine.

Hardy's POV

They all stood their stunned. Jacob's mind was obviously going a mile a minute and his Renesemee was by his side giving him words of comfort the whole time. I wished I was still in wolf form so I could talk to the pack and know what they were thinking. I needed some support and the silence was killing me. Would he kill me to get revenge for the niece he never knew?

Carlisle broke the silence, "Look we mean you no harm young one. We do not judge because we ask you to do the same."

The pack was not going to move. They were overly protective of me and did not trust that the Cullens would not kill me.

Jacob was able to finally compose himself and stepped forward. Nessie stayed close. "Can I have a word with Hardy please?"

The pack got closer, obviously saying no.

"Look I would like to have a private conversation with her if you don't mind. I will not harm her in any way, you have my word. If anything happens you have my permission and blessing to kill me."

The Cullen's did not look pleased. Jacob may not be a blood sucker but he was family because of his imprint. I decided I needed to take charge and get the fight over with.

"Look, go you guys." They stayed still. I know what each of them was thinking because I knew them so well. Robert would not leave if I did not make him. He had his hand firmly on my shoulder trying to comfort and protect me. I really needed them to listen, just this once. "Ok seriously the no listening thing is getting really annoying and if you don't knock it off I will have no choice but to use the alpha order. Guys I'm a big girl, I know how to rip a head off if I have to."

"You four can wait at our home, it would be more comfortable," Carlisle said.

They all looked at me with questioning and unsure faces. "Go before I make you go." And without another word the four of them slowly left my side and followed the Cullens back to their house. Renesemee was giving Jacob some last minute comfort before she left. Edward was the last to leave he was standing there as if warning me or Jacob not to go too far. "Let's go," were his last words to his mate and they were gone, taking that weird pull with them. I wanted to follow it and find out what it was. I wanted to be anywhere but here. But I had to face up to my crimes and live with whatever Jacob decided to do to me. He looked at me for a second like he was deciding what to do next.

"Rachel?" He finally said.

"She died in a car crash with Paul, Rebecca and her husband," I said in a small voice. Jacob gasped and his head sank. He must have know they would be gone by now, but finding out how must have been a shock to him. If he had had his way they probably would have lived to one hundred. I gave him time to recover from my news.

"Dad?"

"He died about six years after I was born. The diabetes got to him finally." I was just giving him blow after freaking blow wasn't I? I was telling him the deaths of his family and I was responsible for his only niece's death.

"Jessica?"

So we get to the hard part. The part of the story I hate most, I hate talking about my mother. I think about her all the time and dream about what life would have been like if I had been normal and human, but I didn't like talking out loud about her. It reminded me of how alone I was, it was torture. Jacob was the one and only person I could let do this to me. I had taken his family away from him and he had every right to torture me as long as he wanted to.

"She was your only niece."

"Rebecca never…"

"She never got the chance, she wanted to adopt like Rachel and Paul did after Jessica, but she never got the chance because of me…" This was it; I had to tell him how I killed his family.

"What did you have to do with any of that?"

"Because she left the safety of Hawaii to talk to Rachel about me. She was mad that Rachel never treated me like family; it was Jessica's wish after all. She asked them to love me before she died. They were down here because of me. They were driving to find me and Michel so we could all talk as a family. I was the reason they were on the road in the first place." I paused, I couldn't breath. I was telling him everything and it was so hard to keep going.

Jacob just stared at me shocked. "Who's Michel?"

"He was Rachel and Paul's adopted son. They adopted him after I killed Jessica. He was my brother. The only one who cared about me. He died ten years ago. I killed your family Jacob. I never meant to, if I could I would give my life to give them all back to you. I would give my life if it meant my mom would have lived a happy normal life. But the devil came and made me to kill her. You have every right to want to kill me and take revenge for what I have done to your family. I will let you punish me as you see fit. It is the only way I can think of to make what I have done right. Just know Jacob that you cannot hate me more than I hate myself. I killed any chance at happiness just by being born. I killed my own mother; it is an unforgivable crime, one that I have never answered for. I am ready; I'm ready to pay for killing my mother and taking your family from you."

I fell to my knees, I didn't have the strength left to stand and face my judgment. I heard Jacob's slow approach in front of me ad I took a deep breath in anticipation for the blow. What I felt was nothing that I had expected. He reached out and pulled me into his arms, he stood up with me and healed me tight but gently, as if he were comforting me. I couldn't move, I couldn't think. What was he doing?

"Hardy Black I could never hurt a hair on your head. I do not blame you for anything; it was not your fault. You are my family and I promise from this day on we will be a family."

What? "Jacob?"

"You have been alone for so long, I promise you, never again! Never again! From this day forward you will never be alone again."

I couldn't help but cry. What else could I do? All I ever wanted was right here holding me in my arms telling me he was not going to kill me and that he wanted me to be apart of his family.

"Uncle Jacob…" I tried to finish a sentence; I wanted to tell him thank you. Tell him I would be good, that I was grateful he did not want to kill me.

"I love you Hardy Black, don't you ever forget that."

"I love you too uncle Jacob."

After that I could have died and not cared the least bit. For one second I had family, someone besides Michel who loved me. Maybe eternity won't be so bad after all.

Ok short I know, but I needed this scene between Jacob and Hardy to happen and resolve their relationship first. They have a lot of catching up to do and I love how wrong Hardy was about her family.
