JPOV ()

Running through the forest.

No destination.

No thinking.

No feeling.

No caring.

You'll have to come back sometime. Mr. Swan has put up fliers, and though your dad seems okay with it, it doesn't take much to realize that he's worried about you.

Shutting myself off from the thoughts, feelings, penetrating my silence.

Where are you?

Not listening.

Jacob Black.

Confusion. Unexpected, blinding pain, soaring to all parts of my body from my spine. Claws, disappearing. Fangs, disappearing. Fur, gone.

That stupid bloodsucker, I thought, my hands shaking, red spots showing themselves in my vision. I can't even have a moment's peace. But, I added, as the greenery around me started turning back to normal, I'm getting better at my self-control.

I'll be crossing your path soon. ()

I would have tried to avoid the leech, only I knew that he would be able to find me anyways. Plus he might've expected me to do just that. Might as well keep him guessing, if he's going to have the upper hand anyway. And I could always rip him to shreds.

So I kept walking.

And so, twenty minutes later, vampire and werewolf, each a sworn enemy of the other, started plotting the rescue of one girl. ()

I've come up with a plan. A brilliant plan. Something unheard of. Unseen of. Untouched of. Unthought of. Brilliant.

Instead of posting random Author's Notes in the middle of the story, I'm going to post them down here. If you see anything like (), that means that you go down to the note with one star in front of it. Smart, right?

Note to self—I refuse to go any further that (). Other note to self—That's twelve stars; this note may save you from counting that multiple times in the future.

Author's Notes Wow…so fancy lookin'.

My own little note, I've decided not to give you the narrator's full name. If you're a big enough fan, you can most certainly figure it out. Have endless fun with that.

I have decided that, over eighty so years, Edward has also developed the ability to project his thoughts into other's minds. This was spur-of-the-moment, so don't be surprised if I repost this chapter, with minor and/or major changes, meaning that if it does show up again (and I'm not sure if it does) then you'll probably want to read it again.

This point of view I will tell you, because I'm not sure any Twilight fan will get it besides me. It's my point of view.

Enter theme song.

End of Author's Notes

Now, I've realized that there may be a danger of my dear readers being confused, thinking something along the lines of, "Now, just how true to the book is this story?" Well, treasured reader, all of your questions are about to be answered.

James was not killed by Edward in the dance studio (book one). He ran away. Coward.

This story is set (the beginning of it, at least) right after Bella's graduation.

There was no fight with Victoria, therefore our heroine and her companions do not know what her power is (which I'm pretty sure was seducing men to listen to her, do what she says and all that. Remember the kid she was with in the big fight? Was his name Riley, or something?

The Volturi have been visited before, the visit in the book. Don't remember which book. Sorry.

For those of you who have read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn (you can find it in the back of the newer copies of Eclipse) Jacob's story remains true to what's in the first half of that chapter. He left right before the townspeople were attacked. I'm still working on reading the second half of that chapter. See, I read it in bits and pieces whenever we go to Target.

If there are any questions, feel free to direct them to me. I would love to make something up to appease you.
