My mission

Jacobs POV

Since Aro was so obsessed in finding shape shifters he studied legends from all continents and every time he thought some of them might be true he sent me there to deliver his offer of peace. To tell them that no vampire would hunt in their area or hurt their people when they agree to not fight us outside their land.

Time passed and I traveled to countries I have never heard of before, I met people from all over the world, I learned to understand a lot of different languages and to speak some of them fluently. I convinced many shape-shifters to take Aro's offer and make peace with their enemies.

It seems that the most common animal to transform in were wolves but I also saw other forms of shifters. I met some lion packs in Africa – these huge cats were really scary.

In Canada and Siberia I saw bears – they looked like they could break every bone in my body with just one hug but when I knew them better I found out they were really friendly and more like cute, fluffy teddy bears.

When we were in India I had to speak with a pride of tigers – they were arrogant and believed that being a tiger; a stupid big cat; was much better than being a wolf. I still don´t like them.

But as said, mostly we had to deal with wolves, and I was graceful for that we had at least the same body language.

The hardest part was, when I had to find packs in America, I hated to be so near to the place where I belong to with no chance to get there.

I knew if I would run away I´ll have to suffer under Jane's gift – which wouldn´t have stopped me trying – and even more important if I would see my Edward I could impossible leave him again and that would break my contract with Aro – which absolutely stopped me.

Ever when I was near at my former home I told the shape-shifters I met there about the Cullen`s Family, their special way of live and about my imprint on Edward. I persuaded them to look in the vampires' eyes because they will reveal if it were dangerous vampires – red eyes – or good ones – golden eyes.

I was always very careful not to feed on humans when I knew I have to make new friends somewhere on the planet – I guess they would have killed me before I say anything to them.

In the rare time I spent alone, I still cuddled the shirt I wore on the last day of my former live – I took it from Edwards's cabinet the day we met the Volturi – it has lost Edwards scent long ago, but it was the only thing I have to remind me on him.

Sometimes I called my mobile box to hear his voice; I knew every message word by word. His calls had stopped a long time ago and I hoped he has found a new love and was happy now.

I really did – even if I longed for his touch, his scent, his voice, his kisses – I wanted him to be happy no matter how I felt.

One day when Heidi brought a new group of tourist – well, we called them lunch – to show them the great view from the tower room she guided the poor humans in the great hall where we all were gathered.

I know, I shouldn´t be there to watch the people dying but as Aro´s guard I had to be there. Unexpectedly I snapped a thought from Caius – I was shocked, I didn´t show my interest but I listened to his mind now with more intense. I didn´t took part on the meal this day and I never left Aro´s side.

When he has finished his lunchtime I asked politely "Master, may you come with me, I want to show you something?"

He raised an eyebrow – usually I never called him my master except there were important visitors in our; in the place where we lived. The lightning should hit me if I should ever call this place my home. It´s said home is where the heart is, and my heart never left Edward, so home is where he is.

Aro stood up and followed me to his private rooms; they have special walls and doors so no one could hear what was said inside.

"What´s so important, dear Jacob?" he asked after I have closed the door behind us.

"See it with your own eyes" I said and touched softly his hand.

It´s enough now! Even some of our guards are feeding on animals these days. What the hell is he thinking? Making peace with those damned shape-shifter! I don´t want peace, I want them dead! How could he not see how useless his new friends are? We should be at the top of the food chain! We should rule the world and not live in the shadows any longer! It´s time for a new era, it´s time for a new leader, it´s time for me

"He wants to kill you" I said still shocked

Aro sighed "I´ve known this day will come. I´m glad that you are here, you´re a light in these dark days."

He ordered the guards we absolutely trusted – thanks god for my special gift – to Caius´ part of the house where we caught him unawares. "I´m sorry brother" was the last Aro said before he gave us the order to kill the man who was his friend for centuries.
