"Is it wrong that I love him?" Jacob asked while absentmindedly creating a circle in the dirt with a stick. Jacob had sought Sam's advice because he had no one else to turn to. His father wouldn't understand. Embry, Jared, Paul and Quil would probably just tease him about. Sam seemed to be the only choice.
"No." Sam said plainly.
" Why do I even feel this way about him?"
"Seth imprinted on you. My only explanation for this is that you accepted the imprint."
" So does this make me... gay?" Jacob asked, his voice cracking.
Sam waited as if to choose his words carefully.
" There's no need to label yourself Jacob. Just do what feels right."
" I want to be with Seth..."
"Then be with Seth."
Sam patted Jacob on the shoulder and started off back towards the house.
" And one more thing." Sam called out as he walked. " You have to do something about Renesmee."
" Renesmee" Jacob thought. He had completely forgot about her. It was as if she had just completely faded out of Jacob's life. Like she didn't even exist anymore.
Jacob started towards Bella and Edward's house. He had to tell them. It would be wrong of him to simply drop out of Renesmee's life with no explanation. But what would he say? Would they be okay with it? Would they be mad? Would he break Renesmee's heart? So many questions.
Jacob cautiously approached the house.
" I can't do this. I'm just gonna back home."
"Hey Jake! Long time no see."
Jacob spun around and saw Bella, Renesmee, and Edward standing just a few feet away. There was no running now. He had to be honest with them.
"Hey..." Jacob said, shifting his feet through the dirt.
" Where have you been? You never stay gone for this long. It's been weeks." Bella said.
"Yeah... I know."
"Are you okay? You don't seem like yourself."
" Look, there's no easy way to say but... I won't be coming around anymore."
Bella and Edward both stared at Jacob opened mouth.
" I- I don't understand. What do you mean you're not coming around anymore?" Bella asked.
" I'm going through something. I'll just leave it at that."
Edward approached Jacob, anger in his eyes.
" So you disappear for weeks with not so much as a phone call or letter. Now you just show up and say you're not coming around anymore? Do you know what you're doing to her?!"
" I'm sorry but I-"
"YOU DON'T GET TO DO THAT!" To come into someone's life, make them care and then just "check out!" Edward roared.
Edward seized Jacob by his arms, forcing him into the air. Edward tightened his grip on Jacob's arms using all of his strength. Jacob had hurt Renesmee and he was going to pay for it.
Jacob felt small, painful cracks in arms. His bones were beginning to break under Edward's immense strength.
" Get the hell off me!" Jacob roared.
Edward remained silent and continue applying pressure. Jacob tried with all his might but for some reason he couldn't phase. Something was blocking him from changing. What was it?
"I knew it. I knew one day you would hurt her." Edward said through gritted teeth.
" Ahh! I didn't do it on purpose!" Jacob shouted in pain
Edward loosened his grip, only to slam Jacob into the ground. The ground around him exploded from the impact. Edward grabbed Jacob by his throat. He was going to make sure that Jacob would never hurt anyone again.
Jacob struggled to free himself, he grabbed at Edward's face, desperately trying to push him off of him. His vision was beginning to fade, he was losing consciousness. This was it.
Edward STOP! Bella screamed.
Suddenly a flash of brown and then... nothing. Edward had simply vanished. No where to be seen. Jacob laid in the indent, trying to regain his strength. With no chance of that happening, Jacob pulled himself up and examined his surroundings. On his right he could see Bella and Renesmee looking on in horror at something. Jacob tried to focus on what they were staring at but his eyes wouldn't allow it. Behind them he could make out a small patch of very beautiful flowers..
Jacob's vision slowly returned to normal, then that's when he saw what Bella and Renesmee had been staring at. Seth had Edward pinned to the ground in wolf form and was biting wildly at him. Edward wiggled an arm from underneath one of Seth's massive paws and tried to grab his muzzle. Seth simply tore the arm away, severing it from Edward's body. Seth lunged for Edward's head. His sharp teeth dug into his head as he pulled back. Edward's head was torn away from his body with a sound reminiscent of a vase breaking. Seth whipped his head around, flinging Edward's head towards Bella.
Bella looked down in horror at her husband's severed head.
"NOOOO!" She screamed.
Bella ran towards Seth with vengeful eyes. Renesmee fell to the ground crying, stroking Edward's head.
" Come and get it!" Sethshouted in telepathy.
"No!" Jacob shouted. He took off running. What was he doing? There was no way he would be able to intercept Bella in time and even if he could how would he stop her? He couldn't even phase.
" This is suicide." Jacob thought.
Seth and Bella were now just feet apart. Seth lunged first. Bella was knocked down with ease. Seth wasted no time and tore into Bella's side and removed a chunk of "flesh." This wasn't like Seth at all. Seth drew his head back and prepared to deal the final blow but a powerful roar stopped him.
Sam Uley appeared, accompanied by the rest of the pack.
Seth challenged Sam, baring his teeth. Sam roared again, teeth bared. Seth roared and lunged for Sam's throat. The two wolves tussled briefly with Sam quickly gaining the upper hand. Sam pinned Seth to the ground, his paw pressing down on his throat. Sam lowered his head close to Seth's face and unleashed a powerful roar known as the "alpha voice." The roar vibrated throughout Jacob's body. The rest of the pack automatically submitted to this roar. Seth automatically phased back to human, his eyes briefly flashed yellow before turning to brown.
Seth looked around panicking. " What's going on?!" he asked in a confused and frightened voice.
Sam stepped away from Seth and went to survey the damage. Neither Bella nor Edward were moving.
Jacob scrambled to Seth, placing his jacket around the now naked boy's body. Jacob mustered enough strength to help Seth to his feet. Seth latched onto to Jacob's midsection and looked around at the scene.
"Embry, Jared. Take Seth and Jacob back to the house." Sam said.
Jacob lightly pushed Seth's back, urging him to start walking. Seth looked back as they walked away.
" What happened?"
And chapter 7 is finished! Don't worry, Bella and Edward aren't dead. They're going to "pull themselves together" and be back in a later chapter. There is a reason why Jacob was so weak and Seth was so viscous and both of those will be explained in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and be sure to send feedback. I love hearing from you guys :).
