Wow! 180 reviews? You guys are truly the greatest! Well, I hope you sick minded lovelies enjoyed the last chapter. Now, to continue the "epic" tale.

Jacob's POV

I almost let Edward kill him. Almost.

"Edward." I said, just before he was ready to bite down. Calm for reasons beyond my understanding, I walked over to him and jerked his shoulder away, forcing him to let go. He stared at me in mystery, until he read what my intentions were.

Embry was ready to die in that moment, or so he was convincing himself. Only I would ever be able to see that little spark of fear in his eyes when I stopped Edward. What was he expecting that could be worse than his death? That was a question that somebody without an Imprint would never be able to answer. That question sparked something in my mind.

"Embry, define innocent." He and Edward looked impatient, but he answered none the less.

"Free of sin? What the hell do I look like, a walking dictionary?" he retorted, but I could tell he was thankful I'd "bought him some time." He wished.

"For once, you're right. So next time you open you're mouth, make sure bullshit isn't spewing from it." I snapped, "That is, if there ever is a next time for you."

He rolled his eyes.

Ignoring him, I continued, "I don't forget things easily. And if there's one thing that's burned into my brain almost as important as Renesmee, it's the pack law- the one about the Imprints. I don't give two shits that you're Alpha now; this goes for all packs. Not just this one."

He opened his mouth as if to say something, then shut it. I wished it would have stayed that way, but he decided to smirk, then open it again as he remembered the rule.

"I didn't kill her, though." he shrugged his shoulders, as if he was disappointed there was nothing further I could do.

"No, you didn't." I said, thankful that I was able to say those words, "But you almost did. That law doesn't just go for death- it goes for any harm. Theoretically, if you killed her, we would fight to the death. But since you didn't… well, I guess I should give you that same amount of pain. Though knowing me, I'll get carried away and kill you anyway. But oh well, rules are rules."

I then turned to Edward, who wore an unbreakable mask of anger on his face. I couldn't determine whether it was because of Embry, or because I stole his job of delivering the pain.

"Sorry, Eddie. I've got a 'legal' right." I gave a weak smirk, then turned back to Embry.

Then, almost as if a dam burst somewhere inside the peripherals of both my mind and body, I attacked him.

I could feel the red hot anger flowing through my veins, burning it's way up to my brain, which kept fuelling my anger pictures of what he'd done to Renesmee. Keeping in time with my racing, furious heartbeat, my fist pumped back and forth into his face, or anywhere near his head. I wasn't particular with aim. I could hear a distinct crack- I didn't stop to see whether it was his nose or jaw, but it was definitely one of the two.

"I knew something was up. I didn't want to believe it. I should have followed my instincts, but I didn't. Look what that caused her… Look what you caused her!" I spat, feeling borderline crazy. With another angry rush, I violently shoved Embry to the ground. Giving him a two second break to realign his jaw, he snapped it back in place with a grunt. He tried to make a remark, but he couldn't move his jaw enough to make a full sentence. So instead, he shot out only one word.

"Jealous?"

I grit my teeth and stomped my foot down on his shoulder. It wasn't only a crack- it was a crack followed by a pop.

"Mother fucker!" he bellowed.

"My mother's dead, Embry. You decided to go for my imprint instead." My breathing slowed, a slick smile crossing my face. "They say 'if he hollers, let him go,' but that's not the way revenge works. Whatever happens, happens. So cry your damn tears, just like Renesmee did, but I'll warn you now- you won't have any arms to fall into. Not like she did."

That look crossed his eyes again; that one I couldn't place. Was it regret? No. if you were going to regret doing something like that, you would have regretted it after the first time- not the third. And you would have owned up to it. Did he do any of that shit? No.

There was silence.

"Why!?" I shouted out. He stood, holding his shoulder. He opened his mouth, then closed it again and looked down. "Why!? If you wanted Alpha so badly, you could have asked. With a little persuasion, I would have given it to you. I never wanted to be Alpha! Why would you work so hard at destroying someone that means everything to me just to take away something that means nothing to me?" I trembled, like I had been for the majority of this "conversation." But it wasn't anger. I found that out as a tear slipped from my eye. I wiped it away, and no more came. Embry staggered back. His eyes changed again.

"I'm sorry."

I looked back at Edward. His expression hadn't changed. He was still waiting for his turn.

"Sorry?" I asked. I began to laugh. Sorry? I keeled over, my ribs hurting from laughter. My eyes watered, trying to process it. It was like the jokes that you hear, and you literally can't breathe. It was that funny.

He nodded, and my laughter stopped. He was serious?

Walking over to him slowly, I could see a small hint of fear in his eyes. I grabbed him by the collar firmly. The trembling started again. "I think I misheard you. Want to repeat that?"

"I said I'm-"

"You're not fucking sorry!" I threw him against a tree and felt my muscles clench with the impact. I drove my fist repeatedly into his stomach, sending up whiplash, causing his head to hit the tree as well. "I wouldn't give a shit if you really were! I won't forgive, and she won't forget! I'll nail you to an upside down cross, and then you can ask for forgiveness!"

The trembles shuttered through my body, sending violent ripples. I could feel it. The heat rose up. In just one more shutter, I would phase. And then I would kill him.

"Don't."

Edward pulled me off, preventing my phase. "Let him live with what he's done."

I stared back blankly. What the hell?

He approached Embry and looked him over once. I'd bloodied him up quite a bit without realizing it. Edward scrunched his nose with the scent, and his eyes managed to sharpen even more than they already were. Carefully placing both hands on Embry's shoulders, Edward pulled his knee up into his pride. Embry squealed out and fell to the ground. Edward poured cold words out over his limp, shuttering body.

"Just a little something to be reminded of whenever you have a thought of my daughter."

Hope you guys enjoyed it. I know I'm terrible at writing fight scenes. Lmao. I know it took a while to get up, I've been busy. By the way, for anybody who didn't catch it, Edward kneed Embry in the nuts. =]. So, what's your verdict? Did you enjoy it? Do you think Embry's felt the pain he needed to? What do you think will happen next?

Thanks for reading. =D

(p.s. Sorry this is short. I promise a longer chapter next time. =D)
