Super short A/N today. Just wanted to thank all of you and... ECLIPSE WAS FUCKING EPIC! I loved all of it! I mean besides Bella... she can burn in hell. But Jacob and Edward? Oh yes, they are meant to be together. When I saw the tent scene I was like "Just kick Bella out and get it on."

Ok, that's it. Promise.

Chapter Nineteen: Ain't No Rest for the Wicked

"I'll let you get some sleep Jacob." Jasper said, leaning his head into the cave where I'd settled.

It was nightfall and once again I didn't have any answers. Fuck this was getting frustrating. If we didn't find Bella and Seth soon I might go insane. As much as I hated to admit it I needed sleep. Sleep would bring dreams and dreams were like maps. Boy howdy did I need a big map.

Resting my head against the wall of the small cave I closed my eyes. Jasper wouldn't let anything happen so I could dream all I liked. 'Dream Jacob, dream as if your life depends on it…well it kind of does.'

The next thing I knew I felt my body being shaken forcefully. My eyes popped open and Jasper's glowing ochre orbs were staring at me. They looked determined, almost angry.

"What's the deal?" I asked, rubbing the back of my head.

Jasper stood to his full height, "You've slept long enough."

"It's been like a second."

"Jacob you obviously have no concept of time. You've been sleeping for six hours." Jasper elaborated, not looking at me.

"Six hours?" I asked with disbelief.

I'd been sleeping for six hours without a dream, without a sign, nothing. So it had been a complete and total waste. Jesus, I wish these things had directions or something. Standing up I stretched out my arms and scanned the area for anything remotely dangerous. Of course there was nothing. What would be stupid enough to attack a vampire? I started talking when Jasper and I began to walk.

"Anything from Edward?" Duh, that would be a no. Jasper didn't have his cell-phone; emo idiot.

Jasper's eyes narrowed again, "None. I'm starting to get worried."

"Welcome to the club, we've got jackets."

"I'm amazed you still find time to joke." Jasper said, jumping gracefully over a fallen tree.

I stumbled over said tree, "Keeps me going. Or else I'd go insane."

"Can we really rely on these visions, Jacob?" Jasper asked, "What if they're enemy tactics leading us into a trap?"

"Enemy tactics?" Oh right, Jasper was in the military. I shrugged, "I believe we can. I don't think they're bad, Jasper, I really don't."

I wanted Edward. If I closed my eyes I could see him, feel his emotions. He was so worried and scared. I wondered where he was.

"You're thinking about Edward." Jasper stated, throwing me a sideways glance.

I winced, "Yeah, I'm just hoping he isn't too pissed at me for leaving."

"He'll just be relieved that you're all right. I'll keep you safe as a favor to him; it's all I can do."

The next thing I knew Jasper tackled me to the ground. I squirmed under him, trying to get up.

"Stay down." He hissed.

"What is it?" I asked, lifting my chin to look up.

Jasper got up and cautiously advanced. He turned back to me and mouthed the word 'werewolf'. I watched from my place on the ground, ready to bolt at a moment's notice. Jasper's footfalls were silent, stealthy; if I was Sia I'd be running. Her scent was everywhere but it was surprisingly… alluring. It was like when I smelled Edward. But it wasn't him, it was her.

'Stand up…' Damon whispered to me, 'It's not her, stand up.'

I jumped up and took a long breath. I knew this scent.

"Seth!" Jasper said is before I could.

Seth came sprinting from some unseen location, wearing the same clothing he wore when he disappeared. His hair was matted and there was dirt on his cheeks. Jasper stood unmoving as he and Seth stared at one another. I could feel the relief and love coming off the both of them.

"Jazz…"

Seth rushed over to us and Jasper swept him into his arms. I could hear Seth crying but I could also smell blood. My eyes focused on a large gash on Seth's left arm, it was fresh, but it wasn't healing. Now that I looked I could see lots of lacerations on his arms, his neck, and some on his bare feet.

"We thought we lost you, darlin." Jasper whispered, hugging Seth tighter.

I walked over to them, placing my hand on Jasper's shoulder, "We should keep going."

Seth looked over Jasper's shoulder, "Jake, you guys found me. I knew you would. Where's everyone? Where's Alice?"

"They're on their way." Jasper said, setting Seth back on his feet.

Jasper's clothing was now stained with blood. I was worried for both mine and Seth's safety. I knew Jasper wouldn't hurt us intentionally. Jasper saw the look on my face and actually smiled.

"Don't worry Jacob." He said, "You're blood is…revolting to vampires. No offense."

I let out a sigh of relief, "Thank God."

Seth winced, "Not to ruin anything but bleeding werewolf here."

Jasper caught Seth before he fell, laying him down on the ground while holding his head up.

"Why aren't you healing?" I asked, crouching next to them.

Seth tried to sit up but Jasper stopped him.

"Try not to move." Jasper said, "What did she do to you?"

Seth gulped, "I can't…I can't tell…"

Jasper pressed a kiss to his forehead, "She can't hurt you, Seth. I won't let her."

The fierce look in Jasper's eyes gave me shivers. I knew he was telling the truth.

"Where's Bella? Have you seen her?" I asked. I didn't want to push him but time was of the essence.

"He's lost a lot of blood." Jasper said, helping Seth sit up, "Can you get on my back?"

Seth nodded and Jasper hoisted him onto his back. Limply, Seth wrapped his arms around Jasper's neck. He kissed his neck softly before letting his head rest against Jasper's shoulder. Jasper turned to me, determination in his eyes.

"We have to get him to Carlisle. You remember the hotel you were staying at right?"

"But they'll be long gone-"

Jasper shook his head, "I know my coven, Jacob. Esme and Carlisle will be there."

"You go. I'll stay."

"No!" Seth groaned, "Jake don't!"

Jasper shushed him, "Don't talk, darlin."

Seth shook his head, "She's…sick Jake. She'll kill Edward…and then she'll kill all of us."

"I know Seth." I said, "I know, that's why I'm going after her. I have to get Bella back. Try to remember the last place you saw her Seth. Try, for me."

Seth closed his eyes tightly, "I remember horns…really loud horns."

"Like car horns?" Jasper asked, sneaking a look back at Seth.

"No…they were louder. And I remember the smell of salt."

"The ocean!" I yelled, making both Jasper and Seth flinch. "Sorry."

Jasper looked at me, "We're not leaving you Jacob. Come back and we'll regroup."

It wasn't that I was afraid of regrouping. I wanted all the muscle on my side that I could. I was afraid for how angry Edward would be. I knew he was going ballistic. But one look at Jasper and Seth had me second-guessing myself.

"Jake…don't leave me. Not again." Seth said, drifting into unconsciousness.

That's it for now. So what did you guys think? Can I ask for 20 more reviews or is that too bitchy? Anyway, who else had and Eclipse party! I did! C'mon send me a review... they're almost as good as Jakeward tent sex
