Midnight
Chapter Four: Memories Stay Forever
JPOV
I stomped my way out of the wretched hospital. My fists clenched to prevent myself from changing. Once outside I sprinted to the forest then phased. Goddamn Cullen, always gotta ruin my life, huh? I will find you bloodsucker, and I will kill you!
I stopped in my tracks when I heard no reply. I knew for a fact that at least one other pack member was in wolf form right now patrolling. Why couldn't I hear them? Sam?
Jacob? You're in wolf form?
Yeah. Where is everyone else? I replied.
Jake, we are all in wolf form. Can't you hear us?
No, I only hear you...
Come to the usual place, Jake. We need to talk.
Carlisle'sPOV
"Carlisle," Esme called, "don't you think it's about time we head back to Tanya's? I'm full," Esme stated rubbing her stomach for emphasis.
"Alright, Esme. Where is Tanya? I want to inform her of our departure?" Not one second after the words left my mouth did Tanya come running around a tree.
"You called Carlisle?" Tanya asked.
"Yes, Esme and I will be headed back now. We have had enough to eat for a good week max," I replied.
"Okay, Carlisle. See you in a few," she said.
"Bye Tanya, sweetie," Esme called to her as we left.
We lovingly ran hand in hand through the woods for a good fifteen minutes or so before Tanya's home was in view.
The smile on my face slowly fell off when I realized that something was off inside the house. It was usually loud and full of life upon returning home from a hunting trip.
"Something isn't right Carlisle," Esme pointed out concern lacing her voice.
"I know," I replied as I opened the back door for my wife. "Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, can you come downstairs to the family room?" I called our 'children' downstairs. Esme and I walked into the room only to find a pixie missing. "Where is Alice?" I asked. I could feel Jasper trying to make everyone feel relaxed and calm. I don't know if it was for my sake or for Rose who, until Jasper interfered, was nervously pacing back and forth. Rose sank into the nearest chair, and Emmett got up and went to comfort his wife. "Well... does anybody know?" Emmett glanced at his Rose then Jasper then me and back to Rose.
"I guess I'm going to have to be the one to tell you guys. Alice," Emmett began, "had a vision while Jasper and I were out hunting. She saw something terrifying enough to make her go back to Forks; Bella's death."
"Bella is dead?" I asked for reassurance. Emmett nodded his head yes, and Esme began dry sobbing.
"What should we do Carlisle?" Emmett asked. "We had thought about going after her, but we weren't sure if it was a good idea. So, we waited for you guys to get back."
"I don't know, Emmett. That's a good question. Did she say anything about not following her, Rosalie?"
"Yes. But it was meant for Jasper," Rose stated a smile slowly creeping onto her face.
"Rose don't get any idea's we are staying here," I announced.

I slowed down when I neared the usual meeting place deep in the forest on the outskirts of Forks. I padded through the thinning trees and entered a small clearing barely large enough to hold in five wolves. But that's just what it was doing. Sam, Paul, Jared, Embry, and myself. Embry stared at me like a crazed person, or wolf. Jared and Paul were acting equally weird, but at least the weren't staring. Sam? Why can't I hear them or yourself for that matter?
I don't know, but we are able to communicate somehow.
Maybe it has to do with me starting the conversation with your name. You know like if you want to talk to a person you get their attention by calling their name.
Yeah, but shouldn't we hear each other already without having to call the other person's name?
Yes, but something changed back there, on the beach, when I yelled at you. At the end of the conversation I walked away with a feeling of freedom. Like heavy shackles had been taken off of me. I think, maybe, this is what it's like to be leader of a pack. I am my own pack now. There is no longer one pack, but two packs. I think that I was able to leave your pack because of who I am, the great-grandson of the previous alpha, Ephraim Black. I was supposed to be the alpha, but I turned it down. But because of my genes I had the ability to still be alpha, although it is alpha to a different pack.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. What are you going to do Jacob? Are you going to join my pack again?
No. I don't think I can just turn this alpha thing on and off whenever I please. I'm going to have to stay on my own. It'll be good for me. Besides, I like the sound of The Lone Wolf. I gave Sam a wolf grin, and turned around when I heard Embry call my name. I phased back into human form to talk to Embry.
"Jake, you can't just leave. Where will you go?" Embry asked me.
"I dunno, Canada. I doesn't matter to me. I just can't stay here. She's gone now. I have no reason to stay."
"Me? Quil? Your dad? Come on man what about Charlie? He thinks of you as a son. I don't think his old heart can take much more. He's going to end up like Harry."
"That's a low blow man!" I yelled right before running back into the trees and phasing.
