The next morning I woke up and stalked right into Bella's room. She opened her door right as I was about to knock and we stared at each other.

"I have to go to the reservation." I said.

"I'm coming with you."

"Why do you think I'm standing at your door?" I asked as I walked away. I jumped into the driver's seat of the red truck and she sat in the passenger's seat.

We arrived at the reservation in less time than it usually took and Jacob greeted us at the door.

"Wow, I didn't anticipate seeing you two again so soon!" he said. Bella smiled, I just shrugged.

"Where's Embry?" I asked. Jacob smiled wider and pointed out into the garage.

"You interrupted us as we were fixing up the lawnmower. He's in there with Quil and Paul." He said. I walked out of the house and toward the garage, leaving Bella to do whatever she usually did with Jacob when no one was looking—it was disgusting behavior.

I walked through the side door and when Embry saw me he dropped all of the tools he was holding on Paul's foot.

"AH EMBRY YOU FREAKIN IDIOT YOU DROPPED THE WHOLE DAMN TOOLBOX ON MY FOOT!" he yelled as he hopped on one foot and cursed. I couldn't help but start laughing to the point where tears came out of my eyes.

"Oh god, you guys are retarded." I choked out between laughs. When I calmed down again I looked up at Embry and beckoned him to follow me out the door. We walked into the woods and before we got too far, I stopped and sat on a log…the scene was familiar. It made me miss Jasper, he hadn't been around for a while, or so it seemed.

"I know your secret." I said. My abruptness took him by surprise, I could tell, but he just nodded his head. "I'm not afraid. But I do have to wonder what the hell is up with this town—why is nothing normal?!" I yelled. I threw my arms up in anguish and nearly fell off of the log. He laughed at that but then his face became solemn.

"It's crazy, I know. But it's true." He said.

"Why did you want me to know so badly?" I asked. If I didn't know any better he turned a little red, but it quickly faded.

"I don't know. Bella's always around and you're her sister so I figured it would be easier if you both were on the same page. And I like you, you're pretty cool and it'll make our… friendship loads easier if you know." He said. There was something he wasn't telling me.

"There's something you're not telling me, Embry. I want to know." I said. It was still early in the morning and I was starving—I wanted to get this over with.

"That's definitely a conversation for a better time, Demetria. This isn't the time." He said. He looked incredibly uncomfortable and I didn't want to make him dislike me after we just cleared everything up…so I decided I would let it go.

We walked back out of the forest and found Bella sitting in the truck while Jacob was outside…pleading?

"Bella please, I don't know what came over me! We need to take you to a hospital, that doesn't look so good." Jacob was saying. I heard the word hospital and began to run.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked. I opened Bella's door on the passenger side and saw her hand was swollen and covered in bruises. My eyes filled with fire and shot over to Jacob. "Did you do this to her?!" I yelled.

"No, it happened when I punched him in the face. I forgot he was a wolf and his strong bones broke my hand on impact." Bella said. She looked more angry than in pain so I turned to Jacob and snarled.

"Why did she punch you in the face?"

"I…might have…kissed her." He mumbled.

"What was that?" I said as I walked closer.

"I kissed her, okay?!" he yelled. I dove straight for him and if Embry didn't catch me in a hold, I probably would have met the same fate Bella did.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? SHE'S A TAKEN WOMAN YOU ANIMAL!" I was yelling and trying to fight out of Embry's grip. I finally broke free and got in the truck. I turned the key and rolled down the window and glared at them both.

"I uninvited all of them to the graduation party Alice was planning." Bella said.

"Good!" I yelled as I peeled out of the driveway and headed back to our half of town.

We pulled into the driveway and Edward was right there when we stepped out of the truck.

"What happened?" he demanded as he took Bella's hand gently in his own to examine it. I knew he would blow up if she told him, so I decided to take a better approach to it. I walked over and very calmly placed both of my hands on either side of his face and made him look me in the eyes. What I wasn't expecting was the shooting pain that traveled up my arms when I did this. I wanted to scream and hit the ground but I couldn't break eye contact. My hands were glued to his face and I bared my teeth out of agony. In that split second the memory of Bella and Jacob kissing flashed between the two of us and we both saw the image. After it flashed past I groaned and hit the ground.

A/N: Sorry it's taken so damn long to update, I actually started writing another chapter and realized I've had this one written for ages and forgot to post it! My bad...and sorry it's so short but there's more to come now that I've familiarized myself with this story again and I'm on winter break from last semester ^_^ So expect much more from me and I'd like to thank those who have recently reviewed! You're really the fire to my engine!
