Jacob
"I love you, you know that?" She giggled and nodded her head.
"I know!" I laughed before taking her lips with mine and we heard laughter from the doorway.
"Good show man!" Quill whistled as Jared said this and I playfully glared at them. They smirked as me as Anna climbed to her feet and stretched, her shirt rising slightly in this movement. I smiled when I saw her stomach but began to frown when I saw the ring pierced in her belly button.
"Anna?" She looked at me as I said her name. She tilted her head to the side with an adorable smile on her face.
"Yes, Jake?" Her voice was velvety smooth as she continued to smile.
"What is that?" I pointed her stomach and she looked down at her shirt, frowning.
"What is what? It's my shirt." She said and I shook my head and lifted her shirt just enough for the ring to flash in the light.
"What is that?" I asked again and she opened her mouth in the shape of an o before giggling.
"It's a belly button ring silly." She said in a teasing tone and I frowned.
"When did you get it?"
"Uhh…hmmm…I think when I went to Seattle with Bella! Yeah! It was a dare!" She smiled as she said this. I rolled my eyes before pulling her into my lap by her waist.
"A dare hm?" I said and she raised an aristocratic eyebrow.
"Yes, a dare. I know you're slow Jake but you're losing your hearing too? Wow, what's a werewolf without his smarts or his hearing?" I playfully glared at her teasing comment and moved her hair away from her neck with my hand as she eyed me suspiciously. I smirked before pressing my lips against her cool neck and I felt her shiver beneath me.
"Jake, what are you doing?" She asked as she pushed my head away.
"Thinking of a dare…" I said in a matter of a fact tone and she raised another eyebrow.
"For what?" She asked. I smiled before answering.
"For you, darling. Who else?" She stared at me before smirking.
"A dare for me? Why Jake, you're so romantic!" She giggled as she pressed her lips onto my cheek and climbed to her feet.
"You think I'm joking?" I asked and she half cocked her face to look at me over her shoulder.
"Yep." She said as she began to walk past Quill and Jared into the kitchen. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair as Quill and Jared sat on either side of me, snickering. I looked at them frowning and their snickering continued.
"She's so got you whipped, Jake, my man!" I punched Jared for his comment and Quill went from snickering to full out laughter until I punched him as well.
"Shut up." I said as I sighed. I could hear Anna in the kitchen with my father, laughing and I frowned. Maybe they were right, maybe…
"Jake? Would you like a something to drink?" She asked as she leaned her head into the room and I smiled. They were wrong. I nodded and she smiled that smile that was meant for only me at me before disappearing back into the kitchen.
"Hey Anna! How about us eh?" Quill asked but she told them no before he had even finished saying her name.
"No Quill! You and Jared can get up and get yourselves drinks. You're not dead, invalid, or in a coma!" She yelled and my father's laughter floated around us. I smirked before laughing as well. Jared pouted before standing up and walking into the kitchen. I continued to laugh until Anna walked back into the room with two cans in her hands. She sat next to me and I rested my arm around her while using the other one to take the drink she offered me.
"You think of that dare yet, Jake?" She asked and I smiled before kissing her. She smiled at me as I pulled away and I shrugged.
"Still working on it. Why?" I asked curiously. She merely smiled before sipping at her drink, ignoring my question. I watched her with curiosity as she continued to drink her soda with not even one glance in my direction. I shrugged my shoulders before opening my soda and taking a gulp from the can, letting the carbonated liquid bubble its way down my throat. She pulled her feet underneath her as she moved closer to my body and I smiled. I kissed her head before tightening my grip on her shoulders as Jared returned with his and Quill's drink. He sat on the ground in front of Anna and she smiled as she rubbed his head. I rolled my eyes as he pretended to pant to appease to her fantasy and she scratched behind his ears. Suddenly Sam and Paul slammed the door open and we climbed to our feet quickly.
"Anna," Sam looked at Anna with solemn eyes before continuing; "we need you to go tell your family, the red head attacked a couple of hunters and is now circling the boundary line." He said and she nodded before running out of the room, changing once she was out the door. As I went to follow her, Sam shook his head, stopping me.
Annaliese
I raced through the underbrush keeping my eyes ahead of me as I made my way to the Cullen estate. I didn't even see her in the darkness as she threw herself at me causing us to crash into several trees. I growled when I climbed to my feet and she smirked as she licked her fingers. Blood dripped from the fingertips down her forearm and my eyes widened when I felt it. The penetrating wound in my chest caused me change out of my wolf form. Her smirk turned into a malevolent grin as I pressed on the wound to stop the bleeding. She launched herself at me again and I dodged. I let out a howl of wounded rage before colliding with her. The sound echoed in the air around us as I heard several pairs of feet running along the forest floor. I crouched and launched at her as she dodged me. I spun quickly, my foot colliding with her head with deafening force causing her to fly back into a boulder. I landed gracefully on the ground and I heard my family close by. Victoria must have heard them as well because she glared at me menacingly before taking off. When I was sure she was gone, I fell to my knees in pain and tore my shirt away from my chest to analyze my wound. I gasped when I saw the blackening skin and I felt the burning sensation fill my chest. I let out a scream of agonizing pain just as Carlisle and Jasper appeared in front of me. Emmett and Edward were right behind them as they all froze when they saw my injury. Carlisle bent down next to me and lightly touched the charred skin with disgust.
"Silver. She had silver. Damn it! I can't touch it! Neither can our lycanthrope friends. We have to get a human to remove the fragments!" Carlisle stated with frightened frustration as I closed my eyes at the pain that now throbbed from my chest. I was swept up into Emmett's arms as Jasper was sent to relay the information to the others and Edward went ahead to meet with the wolves. I kept my eyes closed and dug my fingernails into Emmett's skin as the pain worsened. He frowned and looked down at me with concern as he came up on the boundary line where Jacob's eyes had widened and he was being held back by Jared and Paul. Carlisle began to speak with Sam as I opened my eyes just enough to see Jacob's struggles to get to my wounded figure. He stopped when our eyes met and tears welled in his eyes.
"Anna…" He started but he never finished as Carlisle frowned.
"I can't touch the wound with the silver implanted there. A human must remove the silver." He stated and Jacob's eyes widened. He turned to Carlisle.
"Can you talk my father through it? He's human! If you can talk him through it, he'll do it!" He practically shouted as he watched me with desperation written clearly on his features. Carlisle nodded and Emmett handed me over to Jacob who tightened his grip on my body, careful not to hurt me. Emmett smiled at me before disappearing and Edward looked at Jacob. He bowed his head and Jacob frowned as he looked at Sam.
"The doctor and his son are temporarily exempt from the treaty while we care for Annaliese's injuries." Sam stated and Jacob nodded his head. Edward smiled at me, reassuring me but all it did was increase my fears. I clung to Jacob, my nails digging into his flesh as a stab of excruciating pain shot from my chest through the rest of my body. He winced as I continued to dig my nails into his skin. Jacob raced through the forest with his pack members and my family close behind him back to his house where he slammed the door open, frightening Billy.
"Jacob! What's the meaning of…" Billy's voice trailed off when Jacob loosened his grip on me enough for the wound on my chest to show. Billy's eyes widened before he ushered Jacob into his room.
"Lay her down!" He stated and Jacob did as he said as Carlisle came into the room behind the older man.
"Mr. Black, we need you to remove the silver in the wound. It's the only way for it to heal properly or even for me to tend to it." Carlisle stated this with urgency and Billy nodded.
"Tell me what to do." I suddenly clung to the fabric underneath me, bucking my body upwards and I let out another scream of excruciating pain as the silver deepened itself in the wound. All of the men had to cover their ears at the sound as I whimpered before Billy frowned.
"It's deepening itself. That's not a good sign. Someone will have to hold her down." Billy turned to the others and Jacob shook his head, leaving the room at the sight of my pain while Edward stepped forward. He came on the other side of the mattress and held my arms firmly above my head. He nodded his head at Billy while Paul held down my legs. When they were sure I was secure, Carlisle began to instruct Billy on how to remove all of the silver. Right as Billy placed his hand at the entrance of my wound, Edward's cell phone began to ring, playing the tune to signal it was Alice. Sam answered it for him and his eyes widened as he listened to the other voice on the line. I let out another piercing scream causing Sam to drop the phone and Billy turned his attention back to the silver implanted in my chest. Sam picked up the phone and held it as he looked from me to the room Jacob had just entered.
"Your psychic says Anna will not survive."
