As promised here is another chapter. Oh and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Meetings

Bella's POV

I rubbed my eyes once again only to find my room empty. Where the hell did Jake go?

"Bells come on we have to go honey." I heard Jake's voice from the window.

I went to the window and looked out. Sure enough he was down there.

"Come on Bells." He whispered again.

"How am I going to get down?"

"Jump."

Was he crazy? Did he want me to die?

"What the hell? Are you crazy?" I whispered.

"Bella do you really think I would let you fall? Just put your legs out of your window and push yourself off the pane."

I hesitated but then thought of his face and his smile and knew that I had to start trusting him and that this was the first step.

I climbed onto the window pane and swung my legs over.

"Now just push off."

I took a deep breath and pushed. I was falling for what seemed like a second and then I felt a pair of warm strong arms around me.

"See, I told you I'd catch you." Jacob whispered in my ear. I giggled.

"I jumped didn't I?" Now it was his turn to chuckle.

He started walking towards the woods.

"Are you going to phase?" I asked anxiously.

"No I'm just going to run. I can smell Alice just fine. Just relax and we'll be there before you know it." And with that he took off into the forest.

It was exhilarating. It was nothing like when Edward ran with me. I didn't feel sick to my stomach or have to close my eyes. I just felt a rush go through me. It was like Jake and I were cliff diving again. Like we were flying through the air… together. Just Jake and I in our own little world. It was amazing. All to soon he slowed and put me down.

"You OK?" He asked.

"Yes absolutely." I answered dazed. "That was amazing."

He just grinned and took my hand. We started to walk through the forest to the clearing.

"Ok look. I don't want you to be to close to this so I want you to stay behind me."

I was about to protest but he cut me off.

"Just promise me." I sighed. I knew he was uncomfortable with me coming with him and this was the least I could do.

"OK, I promise."

"And I want you to steer clear of Cullen." He said.

"Jacob I think I should at least talk to him."

"Bells he tried to attack you and turn you. He tried to take you away from me. I will never ever trust him again Bells. I just can't have you that close to him. Hell I can't get to close to him without ripping his head off."

"Jacob, I won't be alone with him or anything. You'll see me the whole time." He looked so uneasy it was almost like he was in pain.

"Jacob. I chose you and after his little phicade I don't trust him much either, but if you were in his shoes—"

"What try to bite you and turn you into a filthy bloodsucker? Yeah sounds like me."

"No, if I came here and didn't talk to you how would you feel."

He didn't answer.

"See, now do you want me to do that to him?"

"Bells he doesn't deserve it."

"He already hates himself for it I'm not about to make him hate himself more. I am not a bitch." He scowled but gave in.

"All right but I want you in my sight" I smiled.

"It would hurt to leave your side let alone your sight." This seemed to cheer him up a little . "How far are we from the clearing. About 200 meters. I just wanted to make sure that no one could hear us. The whole pack is going to be there. I told them." Then he stopped.

"I'm going to phase. I'll be right back." And then he stalked off into the forest. He came back a minute later as my favorite reddish brown wolf. I could just faintly make out his pants tied to his hind leg. He gave me a goofy smile which caused me to giggle, Then he turned his head and started through the foliage. I followed. It took us about 5 minutes until we entered the clearing.

The Cullens were all in a line on one side of the field and the pack was an the other. Jacob walked to the line and then turned to look at me. The look was rather stern and I knew what it meant. I stopped right behind him just like we agreed. He gave me a wolfy grin and turned around.

"Hello." Carlisle said. Next I heard Edward translate Sam's thoughts.

"Hello."

"Ok, well we are here because we think that someone is creating an army of newborn vampires. So we have gathered you to give some warnings." With that Jasper stepped forward.

"Newborn vampires are very strong. They are much stronger than us. Human blood makes us strong. Newborns are born with a bunch of human blood stored in their bodies which makes them very strong and fast. Although they are strong they are not good fighters. They don't think through their attacks and always take the obvious kill so as long as you fight smart you should be fine."

"Could you demonstrate?" Edward said in place of Sam. Jasper looked at Emmett and they both went into the center of the clearing. They began to fight. It was so fast you could barely catch the movements. Emmett lunged at Jasper but Jasper moved just in time. Jasper rolled and lunged at Emmett but Emmett swung his huge fist and it hit Jasper square in the chest. Jasper flew backwards and landed, a little shakily, on his feet. Then with one final lunge Jasper flew at Emmett and landed on his neck his mouth open and ready to bite at any moment. Emmett shook him off and the shook hands.

" I want a rematch when we get home." Emmett said with a laugh. Then Jasper looked at Alice and she came into the center of the field. Now I was a little antsy. Alice was so small and fragile. She looked like she could be broken in one blow. When they were centered on the field Alice closed her eyes. Then Jasper lunged but Alice moved without even opening her eyes. She was looking into the future. Every time Jasper seemed close to catching her she just moved and inch to one side. Then in a sudden volley of movements Alice emerged on Jasper's back. She gave Jasper a kiss on his neck and hoped off his back.

After Alice went back into the Cullen's ranks Jacob strolled up to me and laid down. I sat down and put his head in my lap. I just stroked his fur and looked up at the moon as the battles went on.

When the fighting was done the pack left and so did most of the Cullens. Jacob went into the forest to phase thinking the Cullens had left but only one stayed. The one he trusted the least… Edward.

We stared at each other from across the field for about thirty seconds and then he started to advance on me. He was a foot away from me when there was a growl from the woods. Jacob came out of the woods in human form, shirtless as always.

"Get away from her." He was starting to shake. I made my way over to him. He flinched away.

"Bella get away." Edward said.

"I would never hurt her." Jacob snarled.

"You can't control that. Sam couldn't control it for a split second and look what happened to Emily. Do you really want that to happen to Bella?" Edward said.

"Oh, what and you think you would never hurt her?" he asked.

"Well I would never intentionally hurt her."

"Well you can stop right there bloodsucker because you're already lying. You tried to change her against her will. Not only would that hurt her emotionally but it takes three days of pain to change. Yeah, I know. And not to mention you left her for what around nine months. She didn't think she could be fixed. She thought she was broken down. Now she may have forgiven you for that but I sure ass hell haven't. I haven't for given you for that or for almost taking my soul mate away from me. So don't lie to my face or to Bella's." he turned to me keeping his eyes on Edward.

"Come on Bells, lets go." We turned to go but Edward spoke.

"Wait. I actually waited to tell you something. We are having another meeting next week around the same time."

"We'll be there." Jacob yelled behind us. And the clearing disappeared. He was still shaking so I pulled him to a stop. His face looked strained.

"Bells get away I might phase. Cullen was right. I could hurt you." But instead of backing up I moved forward. I put my hand on his cheek.

"You won't hurt me and you will not loose yourself." I told him.

"Bells back up." I put my hand on his other cheek. He grabbed my arms and tried to pull them down but the shaking ceased.

"Bells." He whispered as he embraced me.

"You shouldn't have done that. You don't know what could happen. I could have phased and hurt you. I would never be able to forgive myself if I screwed up your beautiful face." He caressed my check.

"You wouldn't do that. I just know." He chuckled.

"You are extraordinary you know that?"

"I've heard." I smiled as he pulled me into a light and soft kiss. He pulled back and picked me up. Next thing I knew we were flying again. When we reached my house Jacob shifted me to his back.

"Jake what are you doing?" I asked. He smiled and said. "Hold on." Then he jumped up onto my tree and through my open window.

"Impressive." I said. He gave a little bow and I got into the bed. He climbed in next to me and stroked my hair. I smelled him he had the greatest scent in the world. Better that Edward's. He smelled like a cinnamon and nutmeg mixed with the scent of pine. I was asleep in minutes. I love falling asleep with that scent in my nose.

Please review. I'm putting up a new story either tommorow or on Friday so look out for it.

I'll try to update soon! :D
