Annaliese
I could feel a soft material underneath my pained body and I whimper as I moved. I heard a yawn beside me and felt weight on the material close to where I was. I turned my head and opened my eyes to meet the chocolate eyes of Jacob Black. When he saw my eyes open he let out a sigh of relief. He smiled a crooked smile and I had to remember to breath when I saw it was directed at me. He put the back of his hand to my forehead and he frowned. He took his hand away and I whimpered again. My whole body was in pain. It clouded my vision and made it next to impossible to see his figure. The pain was almost unbearable and he watched me with frightened eyes as I whimpered loudly not caring who heard my agony. I suddenly began to toss and turn holding the spot where the pain was the strongest. My neck. The old scar burned with a new ferocity and I screamed as it sent a pulsating wave of excruciating pain through my body. He firmly held my shoulders down and was almost in tears as he watched me suffer. Why did he care? Why was I here? What had happened? Finally the pain subsided into a dull throbbing and I was breathing heavy trying to regain my lost breath. He released my shoulders and I wondered how I must look. How horrid was my appearance? He felt my forehead again and then swept his hand down my face moving the sweat drenched locks out of my eyes for either my benefit or his. I couldn't tell. He smiled slightly and I groaned. I tried to sit up and he eyed me worriedly. As soon as I was up, I turned to him. "Why am I here?" My voice was cracked with pain and he brought from behind his back a glass of water handing it to me. "Your sister told me to take care of you." He almost frowned at the mention of Alice and I smiled. "My sister?" He nodded. "Which one? Bella? Alice? Rosalie?" He frowned when I mentioned Bella in the list and I smirked. "The little pixie…" He frowned at me as I smiled. "Alice. She seems to have taken a liking to you." He rolled his eyes at me and I swallowed the whole glass of water before handing it back to him. My voice came easier with the lubrication of the liquid. He took it and set it on the bedside table as I heard the door to house open and close. "Jacob? Jake? You here?" I noticed both of our faces lit up at the voice and he took off into the living room. "Belles!" I wretched the covers off of my body and followed him into the living room where I saw her. "Bella!!" I ran and wrapped my arms around her neck and laughed.
Jacob
I saw her put her arms around Bella's neck and smiled to myself. I saw the precaution she took in this action and Bella seemed just as happy as her. "You're alright Anna!! Oh I was so worried when Edward told me what happened! He said the blood drove Victoria crazy and they had to wash themselves as well!!" Bella was practically in tears as Annaliese smiled gently at her. "I'm alright. Jacob Black has taken awfully good care of me." I smiled as she mentioned me and Bella turned to me. She raced into my arms and I held her there. "Thank you Jake!! Thank you for taking care of her when I know you hate her!" I froze when Bella said I hated Annaliese and Annaliese walked to the front door looking out at the rain. Her hair still had bits of the earth lodged in it and I started to laugh causing both girls to look at me. I wiped the tears from my eyes and took three long strides to reach her. She stared at me as I took a stick out of from behind her ear. She smiled as she caught sight of herself in my eyes and laughed with me. Bella watched us amazed.
Bella
I saw the way he looked at her and my heart leapt from my chest. That look was the same look Edward gave me. He was in love with her. My Jacob was in love with Edward's Anna. I never would've thought I would see the day when a werewolf would talk to a vampire the way they talked to one another. I smiled brightly before approaching them. "I should be going Jake, Anna. Edward just wanted me to check on you for him. He's going out of his mind in worry." Anna smiled and nodded at me. She knew she was Edward's favorite sibling. She knew that beside myself she was his favorite person in the world. She also knew that his heart lied with me and she was now the only Cullen without a mate. For now. I hugged each of them and waved as I drove off. I knew once I got to the boundary line, Edward's silver Volvo would be behind me. I knew he would want all the information I had on Annaliese. I knew he would growl at the mention of my suspicions of Jacob's love of his sister. Just as I suspected. I saw his car right behind my ancient truck and I smiled to myself. Here goes.
