The rose brought with it the memory of this creature before me.
"J-Jake??"
His eyes were wide in horror and then to anger. His body started to shake uncontrollably. I could feel my eyebrows go up in astonishment. Was he really going to transform in front of me now? When I was quite a bit stronger than him? Stupid. I could see the old Jacob in my mind, memories returning to me of the times we spent together on each petal this rose held.
"Do you really think that's smart right now Jacob?" The voice came from behind me.
Edward's warm arms wrapped around my waist and I inhaled his scent… It must be a thousand times stronger than ever and my mind swirled lightly.
Jacob closed his eyes and clenched his jaw.
"What has he done to you Bells?"
His eyes looked at me like they used to and I could tell that he didn't want to see me like this at all.
"It's too late Jake. You should leave. My instincts are screaming at me to tear you apart this minute."
He looked into my eyes and his body convulsed. Suddenly this giant Reddish-brown wolf was standing before me, his muzzle up; his long teeth bore.
A snarl rose from both me and Edward. I was crouched into an attack position faster than both he and Edward counted on. My head turned to the side and I smiled a smug smile knowing that this would be one of the best fights ever.
Jacob leaped into the air and I met him half way slamming him into a tree and on the ground. He got up and ran towards where I was. Behind him I grabbed his tail and threw him in the air and then into another tree.
Edward grabbed me before I could do anything else and kissed me. I froze instantly and then we were back inside the bearings of the house. I pushed him away and looked around.
"Damn it Edward! Why the hell did you do that?! I was…. I was having…. Fun."
I realized what I was saying and then I fell to the floor. How could I do that? Jake… my best friend… a person that I could no longer be allowed to love… Then something hit me.
"Why was he here?"
My eyes shot up to Edward's and his were unreadable.
"Is she finally under control Edward?"
Alice
danced into the room and I looked at her sadly.
"What did I do
Alice? He…. He shouldn't have been here!"
Alice bent down and kissed my cheek.
"He's not the same Jacob you knew, and you're not the same one he knew. Your natural enemies now Bella. You chose this life, and you have to accept it."
I stared at her with grim eyes.
"I know that Alice. What I meant to say was that I had planned on never seeing him again. The wedding was supposed to be the place to finally say good byes but he never came did he? NO. So I gave up on him. Locked him in a separate part of my heart that I would never open again. But… God! Why the hell was he here?!"
She gently wrapped her arms around me and I leaned my head on her shoulder.
"I don't know Bella."
