I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT

Chapter Six

"Of course, Jeff. See you in the morning," and with that, I fall back asleep with a new hope of getting my friend back.

"See you Ang," I call back to Angela as I head out towards school parking lot.

"Yeah, I'll see you around," she says.

"Now is it time to go to Jake's house?" Jeff asks.

"I guess. So, you are coming with me, right?" I whisper, trying to keep my voice down so people don't see me talking to thin air.

"Of course, silly," he says, "I wouldn't miss this for the world. I want to see if Jake was the one hurting them people or not,"

"All right," I say as I get into my car and head off towards La Push

I was really excited about going to see Jake again, so I went a little faster than usual. It only took about ten minutes to get down to La Push, but even with Jeff talking the whole way, it was the longest ten minutes of my life.

"You ready?" I ask Jeff as we pull up to Jake's house.

"Of course. I'm really excited," he says.

"All right. Come on," I say as I get out of the car.

I slowly walk up to the door, and knock on the front. After a minute or so Billy comes to answer the door.

"Is Jake home?" I ask, hoping that he is.

"Yeah, but he's taking a nap right now," Billy says.

"When he wakes up could you tell him I need to talk to him and I'll be on the cliffs?" I ask.

"Sure," Billy says, but he looks very reluctant.

He doesn't want me to see Jacob I realize Like that's going to stop me

"Thank you Billy!" I say with as much enthusiasm as I can muster.

"What a mean old man" Jeff says, and I giggle.

"What's so funny?" Billy asks.

"Oh, nothing. I'll just be on the cliffs. Please tell Jake," and with that I walked away.

"Do you think he'll actually tell Jake for you?" Jeff asks.

"I don't know, but if he doesn't, then at least I'll have tried."

"If he doesn't then I'm going to just have to spy on Jake," he says, "I really want to know."

As it turns out Billy did tell Jake. After about 45 minutes of talking with Jeff, Jake comes down to where I'm sitting on the cliffs.

"What do you want to talk about Bella? I already told you I can't be around you and I can't tell you why," as he says this I see pain behind his eyes. Jeff was right! Jake does still want to be my friend.

"You're a werewolf," I say looking at his face to see how he'll react.

I'm not disappointed. His face turns this funny purple color and he starts babbling. "Wh-…huh…how did you know?"

"Well… you see… Um… I sent a ghost to spy on you," I blurt.

"What!?" he sputters.

"I sent a ghost to spy on you." I say, looking down.

"There's no such thing as ghosts," Jake says.

"So says the werewolf," I mutter.

"Well-" he starts.

"What?" I ask.

"Remember those Quileute Legends I told you about?" he asks.

"Um… yes. Why?" I ask, curious.

"There is this one legend… about ghosts," he shrugs, "The story goes that ghosts were our allies once against an army of cold ones. In return for their services, the pack leader at the time helped the ghosts cross over to paradise. Supposedly ghosts aren't held down to earth anymore, but I don't believe it. No one in the pack but the elders believe it. So tell me, how did you really find out my secret?"

"You didn't believe in werewolves two months ago either." I point out.

"You're completely serious?" Jake asks skeptically.

"Yes!" I say.

"Sure," he says rolling his eyes and grinning. If he wasn't making me so angry, I'd be happy to see the real smile from him.

"The legend said werewolves are supposed to be able to see ghosts when we're in wolf form. I'll go change and come back… assuming it's here?" Jake makes it a question.

I turn back and look at Jeff. He's practically bouncing up and down with excitement.

"If he can see me, I might get a new friend!" he shouts.

"He's here," I say

"All right. Be right back," Jake says, rolling his eyes again. He's really starting to get on my nerves.

After a minute a big wolf comes out of the trees behind the cliff I'm sitting on.

"Can you see me?" Jeff asks loudly, jumping in front of him.

With a loud yelp, Jake takes back off into the woods. After a minute he comes back in human form.

"You were telling the truth!" he exclaims.

"Duh."

"Um… sorry for doubting you," he says.

"Ask him about the murders," Jeff says, "my curiosity is killing me."

I was so happy to see Jake that I nearly forgot.

"Jake… I've got a very important question, and I suppose it's a little rude, but I have to know. Are you or your pack killing those missing campers?" I ask, fingers shaking slightly.

For a moment he looks shocked and then… "Yeah, so what?"

"What?!" I gasp.

"Well, we were hungry," he says without a trace of a smile.

"B-but you can't I mean-"

"Just joking Bella," he says laughing.

"That is not funny Jacob Black!" I screech, punching him.

"I'm sorry Bella, I couldn't resist. And how could you think I would kill all those people? Don't you know me better than that?" he asks, looking hurt.

"Well I had to ask, Jake. If you're not killing them, then who is?" I ask.

"This red headed leech is giving us trouble. For some reason she keeps attacking us. Don't worry about it though. We'll get her," he says.

"Victoria," I say, before I pass out.

I wake up in a pair of ice cold arms. "Edward?" I mumble before opening my eyes. Holding me up is Jeff.

"I thought you said you weren't going to faint anymore," he says, his face mock serious.

I wriggle out of his arms. "Yeah whatever," I say. What a great comeback I think sarcastically.

"I thought you couldn't hold me up around people," I say, pointing at Jake.

"He isn't exactly normal," Jeff points out.

"I guess not," I say.

"You better not be saying bad things about me," Jake says, with a smile on his face.

"No…well kind of. Me and Jeff were just discussing how strange you are."

"Um… Bella?" Why'd you faint?" Jake asks.

"The red-haired vampire, Victoria, is trying to kill me," I say.

"That's what she's after?" Jake asks, his eyes wide, "That's… AWESOME! Well… not the part about the vampire wanting to eat you, but about knowing what she wants. We can keep you safe down here in La Push… but, we have to get Sam's approval first… Let's go see him," He says, dragging me along with him," The pack should be at Emily's by now."

After a few minutes we reach Jake's Rabbit.

"Come on, Bella!" Jake says.

"Wait for Jeff," I tell him.

"Oh yeah, I forgot he was here… sorry," he says.

"That's ok," says Jeff, even though Jake can't hear him.

"I've got to tell the pack about Jeff too, they're never gonna believe it," Jake says

AN: Several things. 1st This Chapter was all my thoughts instead of the shortened version I put all my other chapters in. Which one do you like better?

2nd This chapter was long. Be happy with it. And 3rd is a message for Kaitlin. The next chapter is the pack's reaction, the chapter after will have Alice and, maybe if I feel like it, Edward.
