PEOPLE WHO GOT THE RIDDLE RIGHT:

FullMetal Alchemistress: (UR REALLY GUD AT THESE!)

The answer was chess…get it now?? It was hard; I'll make the next one easier.

BTW u guys were probably receiving alerts that kept on telling you that I was posting chapter 6, 6, 6, 5, 2, 3, 6, 6, 6...etc. the system was mucked up so I was trying to fix it…lol. I got there in the end.

The last chapter was a bit rushed, but I kind of had to get it over with and I didn't have much time, plus for ur sake I wanted to post, (see what I do for my fans?). On the up side, with that out of the way the story will take a turn for the better…I promise.

Anyway, I got sick with a cold so instead of going to my school swimming carnival today, I'm at home- that's the only reason I'm posting so be expecting a few more chapie's from me!!

Chapter 7: Confusion

Alice and I left the small room and headed toward the dance floor We had decided to stay for just a half an hour more before leaving and going back to my house to pack my clothes and inform Charlie that I would be staying at Alice's house for the next few days. (Minus the vampire part- Charlie adored Alice and I could only imagine his reaction if he found out she was a 'mythical' creature of the night).

As Alice rounded the corner she almost ran right into Jasper. Once he realized who it was he gently got hold of her arm and pulled her to corner of the room.

Alice threw me an apologetic look and I shook my head, waiting for her to return. I watched as Jasper bent down to whisper something to Alice and she shook her head. Not being able to help myself I quietly shuffled closer and strained my ears to hear their conversation; "So she knows?"

"Yes. The whole story."

"And she's not scared?"

"Not at all."

"Ok…Alice do you know who it was exactly who tried to, uh, hurt Bella?"

What? He knew? I began to lean towards them slightly, trying to hear what they were saying more clearly. However they must have sensed my movement for they both glanced up at me with raised eyebrows; "Sorry," I mumbled sheepishly, sliding away from them.

Jasper shook his head, smiling slightly as he continued his conversation. When he finished talking Alice looked murderous. The saying if looks could kill ran through my head.

"What?! I'll kill him! How could he do something like this?!"

"Shhhh! Alice calm down, I think you should hear what he has to say before you judge him…"

Alice caught my eye and I shook my head in a silent question; what? Or more likely who?

She looked at the floor and nodded in response to Jaspers suggestion. He slipped his hand through her and lead her further down the hall.

"Well, looks like I'm alone again." I sighed.

"Sorry but you're stuck with me." The voice came from behind me. I turned to see Jacob Black, covered in bruises facing me with a lopsided smile on his face.

"Oh my you look horrible!"

"Thanks you don't look too bad yourself." He said.

"No! I didn't mean it in that way- I- uh-look-" I couldn't seem to find the right word so finally I settled on; "sorry."

He smile broadened as he shook his head; "you have nothing to be sorry for, it wasn't your fault that that blood sucker was after you."

"You make them sound horrible." I whispered.

"They are horrible!" he said this with such force and anger that for one moment I though he was going to blow his top…but thankfully he did no such thing.

"Jake, their not all that bad. I mean look at Alice and Jasper."

"Bet you wouldn't think that if you knew who tried to hurt you" he mumbled.

"What?" I asked quietly.

"Nothing. But Bella I want you to stay away from them." Now I was getting angry, this kid was really annoying. (A/N that is so true!)

"Why Jake? SO I CAN BE MORE OF THE LONER THAN I ALREADY AM?! WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME TO STAY AWAY FROM THESE SO CALLED MONSTERS AND NOT YOU?! YOU MORE OF THE MONSTER THAN THEY'LL EVER BE! OU DON'T GET TO CONTROL MY LIFE JACOB BLACK!" (A/N Ouch! But all the same- GO BELLA!)

I knew what I said had hurt, but I was sick and tired of people trying to define who I'm meant to be for me. I was old enough to make my own decisions in life- but no one seemed to know that…

Unexpected, Jacob leant forward and placed a tender kiss on my cheek; "It was nice seeing you again Bella." (A/N awwwwwwwwww!)

Just before he walked away, I glanced up and held his gaze. His eyes were filled with tears and he looked like he was in internal pain. I wanted to reach out to him and say sorry. But before I could do such a thing he hastily turned on his heel and trudged in the other direction towards the exit.

Great. I thought. One more person who can hate me…
