Chapter 14 - Dead
Edward's Point of View:
I looked over and saw Jacob's body approaching our huddle. He was contemplating lighting the fire; 'I guess it's on bloodsucker' was his last thought. I let go of the dark brown wolf and stood up instantly with my hands in the air.
"Jacob I do not want trouble, your brother tried attacking us I only restrained him" I spoke trying not to add to the mounting tension that now surrounded us.
'Edward don't think I'm stupid. I know you don't care about my brother's lives,' Jacob's thoughts were attacking me.
'Jacob don't worry man we are behind you we can take on the bloodsuckers easily,' thought Embry in his wolf mind. 'Yeah I agree,' another wolf standing beside him thought.
Jacob slowly made his way towards the clearing, looking carefully at his pack and then to me and my brothers.
"I am not here for anything other than my wife's pieces," was all I could manage to say.
I looked over at the circling wolves who had stopped in their place as Jacob came to view. The mongrel was only a few steps ahead of me with Bella's pieces under one arm and a box of matches and a container of gasoline in the other.
"Stay back bloodsuckers or I will burn the pieces." I looked back at my brothers who stood up instantly out of their crouches.
I looked into Jacob Black eyes for a long moment trying to understand what he was thinking of. It was hard to decipher because even he did not know what his next move would be.
It felt like a century before anyone made any type of movement. Jacob turned toward his pack and looked each of them in the eyes. I knew he was about to make the biggest decision of his life and at any moment I would either be fighting him or thanking him for his decision. Either way I knew I had to be ready for anything.
Jacob then turned and looked straight into my eyes and spoke, "the treaty is done with and over; we no longer want you near our grounds or forests. You must leave Forks immediately, we are only giving you 24 hours to vacate the area," Jacob stood straight and speaking like a true alpha.
"Okay," I replied.
"Bella is never allowed to come near me again. She cannot think or want to think about me anymore. You must tell her that I am dead to her as she is to me," Jacob kept a composed face even though I knew how much it hurt him to let go of the woman we both loved. Saying these words allowed Jacob to let go of the human Bella; it also reminded me of when I left Bella to protect her from me and now it was Jacob's turn to do the same.
"I will."
"Okay then bloodsucker go rescue your wife," he then threw Bella's pieces towards my feet.
"Thank you Jacob Black. I will never be able to repay you for this. Our family will leave by dawn."
Emmett and Jasper quickly turned and began making there way back to the house. I knew it was over that now we would have to move on and never come back to rainy Forks ever again. Bella was so stubborn but right now it did not matter she needed to understand that Jacob could no longer have her wanting him. They were enemies and that was now their relationship.
Jacob's Point of View:
I watched as the bloodsucker walked away with the pieces of my Bella. He had taken her long ago but now I had to accept that she was never going to be mine. She was now my enemy and nothing more.
I looked around at my pack who all looked for me for leadership and wisdom. I needed to be strong for the pack and that was what I wanted to be.
"I Jacob Black pledge to you my brothers and my tribe my full devotion. Any bloodsucker or threat will be taken care of immediately there are no longer any exceptions to the fact. Bella is no longer a human and no longer my love..."
I then decided I need to phase; as I became the wolf me I knew things were changed. I ran threw the forest feeling the breeze and greenery shoot beyond me. I felt strong and powerful. I had a family and pack that loved me. I knew I would be okay.
I got closer to First Beach where I had fallen in love with Bella. I phased back and walked over to the log that held so many memories of my beautiful Bella. It would take a lifetime to forget her laughter, smile and hugs. But I knew it was only right to let her be who she was now and I knew deep down that Edward loved her as much as I did.
I got up off the log and picked it up with no effort and threw it as far into the ocean as I could. I knew I could no longer have the log in my life. Bella was dead to me...
