My mouth fell open in a gasp. I whirled around throwing my hand over my mouth to stifle a scream. I just more of Jacob then I ever need see. My hand still over my mouth, I found myself shaking my head silently. I could hear a rush of air behind me; I assumed it was Jacob running back to get his clothes.

A minute or so passed and I finally relaxed and let myself lean against a tree nearby. Jacob strolled into the clearing – his bottom half clothed – smiling smugly. I shook my head in disbelief. "Are you seriously smiling about that!?" I screamed.

He chuckled to himself. "You forget Bella, I'm still vying for your heart, I never stopped," my mouth fell open again; I closed it quickly. "This little mishap could only play in my favor," he laughed again. My shock was quickly replaced by anger.

"Jacob Black! You are a disgusting little pervert!" I shrieked as loudly as possible. I reached forward to shove him as hard as I could, but something tingled in my hand and fingers. Everything from my forearm to my fingers began to blister with heat. "Oh," I gasped as a small ball formed in the palm of my hand.

It was clear with only the slightest hue of red, it glistened in what little light the forest yielded to us and it was growing bigger. I shot a panicked glance at Jacob who was stepping back a few feet at a time, horror burning in his eyes. He looked up, oblivious to the fact I had no idea what was going on either. His demeanor changed instantly as our eyes locked. He took a small step forward, "Bella," he said, anxiety lacing his voice.

I braced my forearm as the weight of the ball pulled me downward. It was so hot the leaves on the ground twitched and began curling up slowly under the heat. "Throw it!" Jacob yelled helplessly, as he watched the ball grow bigger than an average globe of the world.

I did exactly as he said. I pulled both my arms back and spun forward hurling the ball out of my hand. It sailed in a fast straight line, colliding with a thick pine tree a few hundred feet away. The crash was deafening, and slivers of wood and dirty quickly enveloped the small clearing. I covered my face instinctively, and in the same moment Jacob had his arms wrapped around me, shielding my body from the explosion, even though I was the indestructible one.

After a few seconds he released me and we both straightened up, looking at the path the orb traveled. The cloud of dust settled eventually leaving us to gawk. The pine tree was laying sideways, a splintered break towards the bottom of the trunk. The rest of the large tree lay across the other trees surrounded that had surrounded it -unable to hit the ground properly - it was suspended above the forest.

"Are you okay?" Jacob whispered, not taking his eyes off the destruction before us.

"Yes," I said weakly. My head spun as I stood there. What just happened?

"Bella, we need to get you to Sam…he'll know what to do," he tugged at my wrist lightly. I let him guide me through the forest, still dazed by what had happened.

----

Sam, Paul, Quil, Embry, Jacob and myself all stuffed into Jacob's tiny kitchen was not working out well. Jacob's pacing was basically him taking two steps in one direction then turning around again. Sam sat in a chair at the circular table, leaned forward in his chair, eye brows furrowed in though. Quil and Embry stood side by side against the counter casually chatting and occasionally nudging or hitting one another, and Paul sat leisurely in a chair next to Sam, gnawing on an apple. I put my back against the doorframe leading into the hallway, watching everyone anxiously.

My eyes focused on Jacob, who continued pacing. His hand was to his chin as he walked, mumbling quietly to himself. Every once in a while he'd stop abruptly, look at Sam, shake his head then start pacing again.

"So tell me again, what exactly were you doing Bella?" Sam looked at me, trying to put the puzzle pieces together. He must've asked us that at least three times already, between Jacob and me.

I sighed. "I was mad at Jacob for thinking his uh," I paused flickering my eyes to each of the male faces, uneasy about talking about such things. "Indecent exposure would help his chances with me," I snorted in disgust once again. "So I reached out to hit him, and I felt my arm get incredibly hot, then this ball started forming. It was like watching someone roll a snowball, getting bigger and bigger."

Jacob stopped and threw his hands in the air, "of course!" He yelled. I jumped at the sound of his voice. He closed the gap between us quickly, putting both his rough hands on my shoulders. He bent a bit so he could look at me directly. "Bella, you remember how some of the Cullens had those talents?" He picked his words carefully, analyzing my reaction as he went on. I nodded. "That could be your power; you got it from their venom!" Jacob let out a sigh of relief as he concluded it wasn't life – or death – threatening to me.

I narrowed my eyes. Cullens. Edward. "You mean to tell me, that they gave me this talent," I spat the word out violently, "and left me here to deal with it?" I was growing angry again. I've avoided thinking about them as much as possible, but now it was impossible not to.

"Now, Bella wait," Jacob started. He sounded as if he were about to defend them, his enemies! How ridiculous. He planted himself firmly in front of me as I took a step forward. I rolled my eyes and crushed my arm into his chest pushing him aside.

I held him there for a moment, staring at him. His eyes were confused. "Just don't," I snarled. I pushed past him quickly and ran out of the door without a backward glance. The fresh air assaulted my nostrils for the second time today, but the first time was much more pleasant. The waves were crashing against the cliffs; I could hear them – even this far away.

I started running, running towards the cliffs. The air was saturated with sea salt, burning my eyes as I ran. I didn't slow down until I reached the clearing, digging my heels into gravel only feet away from the drop off. I could see the water turn white as it curled before hitting the rocks, spraying water directly up into the air.

Edward was gone, again. He left me, again. He changed me into this, this monster and left me alone with it. I wanted to be sad right now, but all I felt was anger. Immense, bubbling, hot anger. I glanced at my hand, this time expecting what was coming. I could see the ball building in my hand, as I could feel my anger building.

I didn't wait for it to grow any bigger; I threw it with all my strength into the waters below. Water blew up in to the air as the orb hit the surface; steam furrowing up in all directions. Another ball starting in my right hand, then again in left. I kept throwing them into the water, and the water kept consuming all I gave to it. I screamed in agony and threw another, then another. One explosion after another hit the water, spewing water everywhere below me, but I didn't stop.

My arms burning and my head spun as the orbs continued forming, quicker and quicker. Edward, Edward left me again. My face contorted in tearless sobs. My screams of rage were beginning to tangle with snarls of pain. I held out both my hands, palms up. Two balls started forming at once, searing my forearm and fingers. I closed my eyes willing them to grow faster.

All at once I pushed my hands together smashing the orbs together. Then with every ounce of strength I had I threw the ball far out into the shoreline. It hit the water with a boom as I fell to my knees. Boiling water launched into the air before falling back into the ocean. I screamed one last time; the ocean had swallowed all the anger I had, replacing me with sadness.

Hey guys, thank you for all the reviews. Also, if you see any mistakes, such as in my last chapter about Jacob's wolf color, please bring it to my attention. I lent my copy of Eclipse to a friend, and the only other book I own is Twilight. xD. So just let me know & I'll correct it right away. As for those asking about Edward returning, I'm not sure. Oh, and the next chapter is Jacob POV. :)
