~Seattle~

"Jacob Black," he told me and I gave him a blank look. "Son of Billy Black, the ones who fixed up that truck of yours that you were using to get here." "O"

"Yea o"

"Hey do you have a match with you? I forgot mine in the car." I asked him.

"Look at you! You're not even ready! I don't know what Charlie was thinking sending you out here on your own!" He said while handing me a matchbox.

"Well maybe that's because you don't know even know me." I told him while I strike a match to incinerate the body pieces.

"I know you; we use to train together when we were young."

"That was when we were young. Someone can change from the person they were 10 years ago."

"Hey wouldn't it attract attention that there is a fire burning in an alley?" He asked.

"No as long as you stay where you are people would think it just a homeless bum trying to get warm."

"And that foul smell of a burned body?"

"Like I said just stay where you are." I smiled at him.

"Of all the vampire hunters I have to watch why it had to be you?" he rolled his eyes.

"Watch?" I asked "Yea Charlie called Billy asking if I can go watch over you just in case you get into trouble," He answered. Wow and here was I thinking that my dad actually trusted me to go hunting alone.

"Well thanks but I got it all under control."

"It sure didn't seem like it earlier," He scoffed.

"Well maybe if you had waited just a little longer you would have seen that everything was under control." I got up to leave. The body was nothing but ashes and the fire was slowly dying out.

"Well I'm sorry for not wanting to wait until you were dead." He killed the fire before following me.

I kept walking to my truck not saying a single word. "Is there anything else you need?" I asked.

"I was wondering if it's okay if I can get a ride?" he hesitated. "You can go straight home I can go on from there."

"How did you get here in the first place?"

"I got a ride," He answered while I got in my truck.

"Then why don't you get a ride home?"

"Well, that's what I'm trying to do right now."

"Fine get in," I rolled my eyes.

~House~

I drove up the driveway. Charlie's cruiser was already there and the lights in the house were on. I can tell Charlie has some company since I can hear laughter coming from the house. I got out of the car making sure to slam the door hard enough for Charlie to hear that I arrived.

"Jeez, angry much?" I haven't forgotten my companion. How could I forget him? The guy wouldn't shut up since we left Seattle. I ignored him and went up the steps. I opened the door and Charlie was there ready to greet me.

"Bella honey!" he smiled. "How was the hunt?"

I didn't answer I only looked down to the waiting Jacob.

"O hi Jacob," he waved down at him.

"Hi Charlie," Jacob answered. "Is my father there?"

"Yes he is boy." Another voice coming from inside the house said.

"How about you kids come inside? It's way too cold and too late to be staying outside." A guy in a wheelchair appeared.

I entered followed by Jacob. Charlie was the last closing the door behind us.

"Bella this is Billy Black. Charlie motioned to the person in the wheelchair. He had long hair like Jacob too.

"Hi," I tried my best to smiled, slightly succeeding.

"Oh don't be too hard on your father Bella. He only wanted to make sure that you are safe and that no harm comes to you. But then judging from the atmosphere something else happened?" Billy moved to Jacob's side.

"Yea I saved Bella's life," Jacob answered before I could.

"Saved? Put in danger would be the right word."

I heard Charlie sighed. "What happened?"

"He interfered," I glared at Jacob.

"Well if I haven't interfered god know what would had happened."

"A nice clean kill would have happened."

"Hey it was your fault that you didn't cut cleanly."

It was only then Charlie noticed the blood stains on my sweater. I had wiped the blood from my face when I was in the car but it was too late for my sweater. They had already dried.

"Tell me nobody got hurt." Charlie asked, his eyes eyeing the dried blood on my sweater.

"Nobody got hurt." Jacob and I said simultaneously.

"Okay good. All that matters is that nobody got hurt. Now stop bickering about this nonsense and enjoy the rest of the night." Billy smiled.

I turned to leave. "I'm going to my room and sleep, night."

I closed the door to my room. I looked at the clock 12:00 it flashed. It was early, in the city I wouldn't get home until around three or four o'clock. But it doesn't really matter. After changing and showering the bed always looks so relaxing. I lied in my bed reading a few paragraphs in Wuthering Heights, my favorite book, until sleep took over me.

~School~

I arrived at school in one of my worst moods. It was rainy, cold and cloudy. It was just one of those days I didn't really like. To make things worst the mornings went by so slowly. I guess I have to thank Mike for at least trying to make the day a bit bright.

I entered biology class for the first time. Yesterday I arrived just after first period so I missed Bio, not that I didn't mind missing it.

"Ah welcome to the class miss Isabella Swan." The teacher greeted me.

"Bella," I corrected.

"Bella it is then, unfortunately since you weren't here yesterday you don't have a choice who to have as your lab partner."

"That's okay," I told him I mean what else can go wrong?

"Okay meet your partner."

I looked at the direction he was pointing at. I looked around the room making sure that it was the only empty seat available, unfortunately it was. My lab partner is Edward Cullen. Edward seemed like he didn't care much for anything actually. He has this bored look plastered on his face.

I sat down in the chair and at the corner of my eye I could swear I saw him flinched. I glanced at him and I saw his expression changed from bored to pain. Something tells me this period just might be different.

The task was to identity phases of mitosis so the two of us took turn using the microscope. But every time it was his turn hesitation filled him. He carefully took the microscope taking and taking a deep breath, like he had trouble breathing or something.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yea," He answered.

"Is there something wrong? You look like you are suffocating."

"No, nothing is wrong don't worry I'm fine."

"Kay," I tried to ignore him for the rest of the period. That wasn't really working. I mean how hard is it to ignore someone who looks like they're about to fall dead? The answer to that is it's very hard.

The bell rang and Edward Cullen ran out of the room, or should I say burst out of the room. I gathered my books away to see an awaiting Jessica by the door.

"Hey oh my god, how lucky are you? Then new girl and your partner is Edward Cullen? So tell me what is he like?" She bombarded.

"He's weird."

"What? How?"

"I don't know basically he just sat there taking deep breaths like he is hard at breathing or something and I don't know he was just weird."

"Well okay," was her reaction and then she moved on to something else to talk about. After biology everything went by fast. Even lunch and this time I didn't look over to the Cullen table. The next thing I knew was that school is over and I saw Jacob Black leaning on my truck waiting for me.

"Hey, umm what are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Get in the truck we'll talk inside." He said going to the other side.

I did what he said and got in. I started the engine and start driving, waiting for him to speak.

"You know that vampire you killed yesterday?" He asked as soon as we are a good distant away from the school.

"Yea what about him?" I asked.

"Well he wasn't alone. He had a mate with him."

"And how do you know this?"

"We found out today, his mate wants revenge."

"So…?"

"So since you are the one who killed him she is hunting for you, making sure that you will suffer to your last breath."

"Then let her, she will end up like poor James anyway."

"Who?" he asked confused.

"Her mate," I answered.

"O okay, anyway Charlie sent me to tell you that you got a revenge seeking maniac hunting for you and to protect you just in case it tries to get revenge on you now, when you aren't ready."

"Well thank you but I'm always ready."

"Sure that explains yesterday."

"You know what just shut up. Don't you have somewhere else to be?"

"Nope I'm going home with you." He smiled and I just kept driving.
