Chapter 1, The Pull:

I glanced at the dashboard clock for the hundredth time this hour, wishing it would tell me I am done, but it was mocking me again, only ten minutes had passed, I moaned another hour before we get there I am not sure I can last that long. The painful pull in the center of my chest is the only thing pushing me on; it has been the driving force behind my return to Forks all along. I guess it was not going to let up until I was there, I looked over at the sleeping body of my best friend ,Kristin , I wish she would have stayed behind, she had insisted on coming with ,claming she would prevent my past from running my approaching wedding.

I snorted at least Justin trusted me, he would fly up next week to meet my father and I hoped have this figured out by then. I sighed I was not even sure what that was, I have always felt bad about the way things happened, after the battle with Victoria I had left ,needing a break from the supernatural I had left both Edward and Jacob. Edward had been more understanding, I still spoke to him on the phone once or twice a month, Alice more often. But Jake not sense I left his room after the fight, he had run off and did not return before I left for Moms.

I guess the pull started about a month ago after Justin asked me to marry him, we have been dating for two years and I felt it was time to take the next step had happily said yes and let him slip the ring on my finger. That night the dreams started I had woke up soaked in sweat and confused. I had not dreamed of Forks or him sense I left , that morning the painful pulling started, I had ignored it for the first week , but as my mother started to plan my wedding it got worse, every time she would mention the wedding I would almost double over, The dreams were becoming regular ,I thought about them often trying to remember them clearly ,the dream is at this point etched in my brain.

It was dark; I was standing in a heavily wooded area, the forest? My eyes would not adjust and I could barely see, I could hear leaves rustling nearby and twigs snapping, I turned toward the noise, I froze if it was an animal that was best, no sudden movement. A low familiar growl cuts through the darkness,"Jake"the clouds shift and the moon is lighting up the area around me , I watch him stalk toward me from the dark , growling teeth bared, this was not a happy reunion. Instinct kicked in and I started to back away from the angry wolf, he stopped his head tilted like a predator sniffing for his prey, My heart was racing as panic settled in I did not know this Jacob he was dangerous, I turn and start running, the air shifted behind me signaling his phase, I could feel the soothing heat come off him in waves, large arms locked around my waist ,halting my escape, I felt his hot breath on my neck as the heat penetrated my body, his husky voice in my ear ,"Bella, you've been gone so long, I missed you" His sent permeates my mind the touch sends jolts throughout my body ,the voice so close generates my own heat, he inhales , his low growl in my ear almost sends me over the edge ,"I need you Bella, I wont let you go again!"

I always wake up at this point feeling guilty, knowing I should not be dreaming about Jacob like this. I pull off at the next gas station; I wake up Kristin before going in to get some much needed caffeine. I take in a deep breath before getting back in the car, 15 more minutes, I can make it. My stomach is not so sure , I force down the big girl pill and start the car back up , as I pass the entering Forks sign, my hands start tingling , the sensation slowly works its way through my body ,I know I am in the right place.
