Somehow, while fighting to get away from Jacob, my elbow connected with his side. I heard a gasp as he let me go. I panicked as I rushed out of the kitchen. I headed straight for the front door but was stopped abruptly when Jacob shoved me into the wall. It was my turn to gasp as I hit the wall rather roughly. His hands wrapped around my wrists so that I could not get away. He pinned me to the wall with my arms at my sides, and I shuddered as his hot breath smothered my face. I closed my eyes and prayed for him to let me go. That didn't happen though. His nose touched mine, and I tried to not cry.

"Well, that was not very nice, Bella. I was just trying to hold you. All I wanted to do was hold you close and show you how I feel."

I could hear the anger in his voice. All I could respond with was a whimper. I definitely had not thought this through. I waited for him to let me go, but he didn't. Instead, he pressed his rough lips to mine. I gasped as he tried to force his tongue in my mouth. James face flashed in my mind as Jacob forced the kiss on me. I started to cry as I felt Jacob's tongue in my mouth. It was all I could do not to throw up as he forced his tongue deeper into my mouth. A soft moan escaped from him as he kissed me, and that was what I needed. I fought to get away from him.

The idea to knee him came to me quickly, and I hoped he was far enough away from me to be able to do it. I squirmed as he kissed me. He shifted his body weight as he pressed his lips harder to mine. I brought my knee up quickly, and it connected exactly as I had hoped it would. He gasped in shock and then released me as he doubled over. I stood there for a moment to make sure he was indeed in pain before fighting to get the door open.

I took off out of the cabin and ran. I was surrounded by trees in no time, but it was better than being in that cabin. I kept running, trying to distance myself from the cabin. Soon I found myself face down in the ground. I had tripped over a fallen branch. I laid there for a while. I was trying to get my heart to stop pounding out of my chest. I was not sure how long I had been there, but Jacob's yelling brought me back to the moment.

"Bella, there is no point in running. I know these woods better than anyone else on the reservation. Come out, come out where ever you are!"

I stood up quickly and tried to run. I had not gotten far when I tripped again. Of course, at the point when I was trying to get away from a crazy man, I would be clumsier than ever. The second fall hurt, and when I tried to stand I felt a sharp pain in my ankle. I had twisted it. I sat back down and cried softly as I looked at the ankle. I just knew he was going to find me there. I couldn't get away; I was hurt and couldn't move. I tried to stand again. The pain was horrible as was the thought of Jacob finding me. I tried walking, but the ankle wouldn't let me. I reached out and grabbed for the nearest tree before I fell. My escape was going to be slow going. I hopped from tree to tree so that I would have support. I froze when I heard Jacob again.

"I swear that when I find you, I will finish that kiss. How about you just come back and let me have what I want?"

I shuddered and looked around. There had to be a place I could hide. He sounded closer than ever, and I wanted to hide in hopes that he would not find me.

Jasper and I had picked the trail that Bella and I had taken the day we had found that clearing. The day Jacob had seen Bella for the first time. It had not taken us long to get to the clearing. Jasper suggested we keep going. He could remember there being a cabin at the end of a trail around there, but he wasn't sure if it had been the trail we picked or another one. I was relying on his memory as he hiked through the woods.

As we hiked, we came to a fork in the trail. As Jasper tried to decide which way to go I sat down and let my mind wander. It had not gotten far when Jasper smacked my arm to get my attention.

"Dude, wake up. Let's take the path to the left. I can't remember this area so I am going on gut instincts here."

I grumbled and stood up. Hiking was not exactly my favorite thing, but we were out here for Bella. I had to trust that he knew what he was doing. Jasper was the outdoors man here.

"If you get us lost I am so telling Alice."

He snorted at me as he headed off in the direction he had chosen. I followed behind him. It was still early. Thankfully, Jasper moved quickly so we were not losing daylight at all. It wasn't long before we came to the back of what looked like a beat up cabin. Jasper motioned for me to be quiet and stay as he moved to head around to the front of the building. I waited, holding my breath the whole time he was gone. I gasped when I heard a door slam open and someone run out of the cabin. I looked in the direction Jasper had gone. He came around the corner and pressed his body against the house. I moved to stand by him.

I leaned in and whispered, "What the hell is going on?"

He peaked around the corner of the house and then back to me, "Some guy just came out of the house and headed into the woods. He looked pissed. What did that Jacob guy look like?"

As I told him what Jacob looked like, he nodded and leaned in to whisper, "Yeah that was him."

My eyes grew wide, and I moved to go around him. Jasper stopped me and shook his head. He peaked around the corner again, and then he grabbed my arm and led me to the front of the beat up cabin. There, in front of the place, was Jacob's truck. I tried to rush past Jasper again, but he stopped me. We stood there for a moment. I knew he was trying to be safe, but the thought of a hurt Bella inside the house was motivating me to break away from Jasper and run inside. I heard Jacob yelling from the woods as we stood there.

"Bella, there is no point in running. I know these woods better than anyone else on the reservation. Come out, come out where ever you are!"

I looked at Jasper as he watched the woods, "Well, apparently Bella got away."

He nodded and let my arm go. I moved toward the house and went inside as Jasper headed toward the edge of the woods there by the house. The inside of the cabin was not much better than the outside. I could tell he had planned on keep her here indefinitely. I sighed and headed back out to join Jasper. He was still standing on the edge of the woods when I went to stand by him.

"You think he will find her?"

Jasper looked at me, "Let's not give him the chance. Even over night was too long for her to be here."

I saw him dig out his cell phone and dial Alice's number. As he spoke to Alice, I heard Jacob yell again.

"I swear that when I find you I will finish that kiss. How about you just come back and let me have what I want?"

I frowned as I thought about him kissing her. I tried to shift my attention to Jasper so that I would not think about his lips on her.

"Alice, I promise we will not be stupid. We just can't wait for the police to get out here. Tell them we are on the reservation. You know the hiking area." He looked at me as he spoke, "I promise to take care of your brother, and I love you too."

I rolled my eyes as he hung up, "Please tell me she is not worried I will get hurt."

He nodded and motioned for me to follow him as he headed into the woods. This was definitely going to be interesting.
