A/N: Haha, not as much in the way of hateful reviews as I was expecting. I'm slowly working on the story but I went away for the weekend and my muse seems to have got itself lost while I was gone…
As usual the wonderful characters and Twilight belong to Stephenie Meyer… Not me. I just make them dance to my own tune.
I couldn't move. All I could do was watch, terrified, as the huge form of Jacob lunged toward Rosalie. He was so much larger than her, and I was suddenly more scared for her safety than I was for my own. But I still couldn't move an inch.
"Get your stinking paws away from her DOG." Emmett's furious voice yelled. And then he was there, holding Jacob's arms while Rosalie kicked and punched him.
"She's mine!" Jacob screamed angrily between yelps of pain. "Mine! I love her!"
What happened next I can only pass off as a hallucination from the drugs he'd put in my drink… Jacob fursploded. Right before my eyes his entire being shifted and standing before me was a gigantic, shaggy wolf.
I could hear someone screaming shrilly and only when I heard Alice making soothing noises did I realise it was my screams I could hear. I turned to Alice, who had materialised seemingly from nowhere, and sobbed into her chest.
I must have passed out then because the next thing I knew I was lying on the couch in the Cullen's living room with my head in Esme's lap. She was humming to me quietly and stroking my forehead with hand that felt like ice.
I looked around the beautiful room and spotted Alice nervously pacing in front of the lit fireplace. She was muttering to herself and shaking her head vigorously. Rosalie was nervously wringing her hands in the leather arm chair across from where I was lying.
I slowly, with Esme's help, pulled myself up into a sitting position. The room spun violently around me as I shook my head to clear the fog out of my brain.
"Bella!" Alice cried, rushing over to me. Her face looked frantic. "I'm so sorry; I didn't know it was going to happen." For some reason she looked furious at that fact.
"It's ok." I muttered. "How could you know?"
"Oh thank god Bella." Rosalie said softly as she walked over to kneel in front of me. "I… I'm so glad I got there in time…" Unexpectedly she pulled me into her arms.
"I'm alright." I stuttered, embarrassed. "Where is everyone else?"
"I thought it best you woke up with just us girls around you." Esme explained kindly.
"What… what happened?" I shook my head again trying to remember.
Esme looked at Alice nervously but it was Rosalie who spoke. "I… you…" She sighed and pulled me off the couch and on to her lap. "What do you remember?"
"Um… we were at the club and… Edward had just run off to talk to Alice. I thought I'd done something to upset him, he looked so… disgusted. Then…" I faltered. "Then Jacob was there… I hadn't seen Jake since the day before my parents died… he disappeared that day… He bought me a drink or two and we talked…"
Rosalie was rubbing my back and looking at me encouragingly while Alice and Esme quietly left the room, saying something about a hot meal and shock.
"Do you remember anything else?" Rosalie prompted.
"I… I wondered where Edward was… but… I couldn't see any of you… I thought you'd all left me… Someone said I'd had enough to drink and Jacob said he was taking me home… He… he took me to his van…" I stopped there. I could remember, Jacob saying he'd 'given' my family to someone to stop them taking me away, that I belonged to him, that he loved me.
"Jacob was going to rape me." I gasped my breathing coming in gasps and my shoulders began to shake as I started to hyperventilate.
"Carlisle?" Rosalie called urgently as she made soothing noises and began to rock me back and forth.
I'm sorry it's so short! I felt bad for leaving the last chapter where it was...
Reviews make me happy...
