Hey everyone! It's good to be back to this story. I just finished one of my anime stories and I only have two more to complete, including this one. This is going to be a really interesting chapter and maybe a really long one. Well...interesting to some.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Oo...but I'm about to! I'm illustrating a book and it'll be out soon. Not that it matters.
Emma took a deep breath and almost didn't let it out. This is what she was afraid of. Screw being a big girl. She wanted her werewolf and she wanted him now. Bella was waiting for her to say something. Emma tried to look for the most intelligent thing to say but all that came out was "uh...kay." Bella nodded then adjusted the pillow under her head.
"I know this is awkward but I've really wanted to talk to you." Bella said quietly. Emma nodded her head. She had wanted to talk to her too...then again all she wanted to do was avoid her.
"What do you want to talk about?" Bella took a deep breath as if she just wanted to stop the whole conversation.
"Um...well. Are you and Jake, like, together." Emma almost rolled her eyes. Wasn't that obvious.
"Yeah. Have been for a while." Bella stared down at her fingers that were messing with the edge of the pillow.
"Like, are you two...serious." Emma nodded.
"He imprinted." She said emphasizing the word "imprinted". Bella bit her lip.
"Does he ever talk about me?" Emma was getting very uncomfortable.
"Not really. All I had known for a long time that there was a girl before. But I heard that from Janet." Bella closed her eyes.
"So he got over me?" Emma glared. She was so happy that they couldn't see each other.
"I'd say so." Emma knew that sounded cruel but Bella needed to get over the fact that Jake didn't love her anymore. He found something better. Emma glanced at the bright ring on Bella's finger. Besides, she was married. She couldn't be lusting over other men. Especially other women's men.
"I don't believe it. I won't believe it." Bella said stubbornly.
"Excuse me? You won't believe what?" Bella shook her head in frustration.
"He didn't take very long to heal. Apparently he didn't love me as much as he said he did." She said in an accusing voice. "He made me believe that he had feelings for me...and I returned them." She said quietly. Emma couldn't believe it. Let's all throw a pity party for the girl who couldn't pick between guys. What did she want? Both of them?
"Well, I'm sorry. You're married now and you have to move one because Jake has. You just have to accept it." she tried to sound sincere and not snotty but it was harder than she thought.
"What would you know about Jacob?" Bella said getting louder. "You've been with him for a couple of months. What'd you do to make imprint?"
"I didn't do anything." Bella sat up.
"Yeah, right. Like I really believe that. You can't get over stuff like that so quickly." Emma sat up to. Her vampire toy must really spoil her because she was a little brat. Janet never explained her like that.
"Obviously you did. Is Jake not allowed to have a happy life without you? Is he supposed to suffer? I don't know what's wrong with you but this couldn't be the girl that Jake and Edward fell in love with." Bella was taken aback by the bite of the remark. But it did what it was supposed to and it shut her up. Emma flung the cover off of her and walked out of the room.
" I'm sleeping with Jake now." And with that she closed the door. She wanted to slam it so bad but others were sleeping and their little fight wouldn't be appreciated. (I know, vampires don't sleep but werewolves do.) She silently stormed down the hall while holding her arms to herself. The cold nature of the house wasn't helping anything. Emma's eyes were darting from side to side. She had the sudden urge to run. That urge grew when a cold hand grabbed her shoulder.
"Hello." A cold, taunting voice said from behind her. Emma ,shaking, turned around to meet a row of teeth and fangs. The white face glowed in the dark making it's dark eyes stand out and seem bigger than normal. Her mouth and throat dried instantly making her unable to scream. Seeing that there was no way out, she started to hyperventilate. The flashing whites came closer and closer to her person making her shake uncontrollably.
"Jacob..." she whispered in a ditch attempt to distract him. The vampire froze. Emma's heart beat slowed down thinking that she had stopped him but soon he let out a deep chuckle. If he wasn't a vampire and she was single that chuckle would have made her weak in the knees.
"Is that what you wish to be your last word?" he asked in his smooth seductive voice. He was still poised over her with his hand in her hair. Emma squeezed her eye shut and let tears roll down her cheeks. She felt cold fingers on her cheek as he wiped her tears away.
"Don't worry. I'm not really going to kill you. You'll become a vampire and we'll get to see each other more often." Emma's eyes shot open. They had a fire of defiance in them and the vampire leaned back...if only a little. She couldn't believe the anger that was boiling through her body. Without though, she wouldn't have this courage.
"The hell you will." With a sudden burst of adrenaline she pushed him off her but not very far. "I've been imprinted upon and nothing breaks that. So you might as well head on out." She couldn't understand why no one had sensed this vampire yet. She was just a few feet from Bella's door and she couldn't hear them? Something was wrong. Emma turned her attention back to the seething vampire. Her eyes widened as he crouched down and pounced towards her. A scream erupted out of her throat but it turned to a gasp as the vampire crashed to the floor. Sam had jumped from the stairs and had landed on the vampire. Warm arms wrapped around Emma as she heard fighting take place.
"Are you okay?" Jake said into Emma's ear. She nodded while trying to focus on something else besides the screams and the ripping of clothes and skin. It sounded like the whole pack was trying to get a piece of the leech.
"Hold on. I'll get you out of here." And with that he busted through the wall. He curled over her and shielded her head as all the debris fell away. Jake soon crouched to start running but froze to the spot. Emma looked up when she felt the familiar tension of Jake's muscles. She stared at his face and then looked in the direction he was looking. There, in the dying wave of dust, stood the coven that they had joined sides with to defeat the enemy. Jacob's glare grew darker as their intention became evident.
"It was a nice plan until now." Jacob said darkly. A chuckle came from within the huddle of vampires.
"Stupid dog. Did you really believe that we were ever on the same side?"
And that's the end of that chapter. I can't wait till the next chapter. It'll be a major fight scene. But until then, I'll need some reviews. You have to admit, there's nothing more exciting than reviewing a really good story. Although that might not be this story...it's still goo practice. So review and keep reading.
