Bella's Pov
Paul's gentle hand was sitting perfectly still, and firm at the center of my back as he led me to our tent that we have been sharing for the past few days.
"Go on to sleep Bells, we're going to train out here for a bit, then I'll be right in beside you." He said watching me.
"But I want to watch the training." I whispered back up him, feeling my eyes heavy, and yawns escaping every few breaths.
"You need to sleep, you can barely stand up." He said now sliding his hand from my back, to wrapping it around my waist.
I was about to speak when I heard volumes of loud growling around me, and I froze, looking around.
"Leech alert." Someone yelled, and in seconds I watched almost every wolf here phase with savage growling.
I was now wide awake, but Paul quickly was pushing me into the tent.
"Stay here." He ordered, then ran out.
I stumbled quickly to the door of the tent, and unzipped it watching Paul phased running towards the ground of wolves.
Without thinking I was running out there to, stumbling over rocks and sticks, almost falling tons of times but I made it to the ground of them, trying to see what vampire they had cornered.
I was having trouble seeing anything but big fuzzy wolves all around me, and I couldn't let Paul see me, or he'd have me tied back in the tent.
I looked around anxiously for someone else that I knew, and I walked over to one of the smaller wolves, taking in the dusty, sandy color, and poking it.
The wolf turned to me, looking tense, and letting out a low growl at me.
"Seth?" I whispered.
The big wolf's massive head bobbed up and down looking down at me, and I quickly climbed on him straining to look over the crowd.
That's when I saw the vampire that they had blocked.
"STOP THAT'S JASPER!" I yelled to them in panic, and wide eyes.
Most of them were now looking at me with low growls, and I watched the dark gray wolf I had been avoiding come over glaring up at me and nudging my leg, pointing his nose to the tent.
"No, Paul that's Jasper they have, one of the Cullen's." I told him loudly.
All the wolves were paused now, all growling, looking confused, but some still stayed tense and ready to fight.
I made eye contact with Jasper now, taking in his red eyes with shock.
He looked to me with so many emotions at this time I wasn't sure what even I was feeling.
Again I was moving without my head, and I was quickly sliding in between the wolves to get to Jasper.
Paul followed slamming in between the wolves to keep me in sight, causing more growling around me.
When I reached Jasper I took slow steps towards him, knowing he might not be ready for the smell of my blood.
"Jasper?" I said looking him over, also noticing for the first time two other vampires standing with him.
"Bella." He said and shocked me as his arms came out and hugged me.
I now had tears running down my cheeks as I hugged him back.
The wolves were all silent now, and backing up, watching the two of us, only Paul stayed right behind me, growling lowly at Jasper baring his teeth at him.
When we pulled away I looked at him with a small smile.
"I'm so sorry I got you into this." I said shaking my head, wiping my tears away.
"Bella are you nuts, this isn't you're fault at all, you can't just bring an army of wolves to come just to break up out." Jasper said looking at me desperately.
"Why not, its my fault your in there!" I said rubbing my face.
"Bella." Jasper groaned.
"Your right she is stubborn isn't she." The one vampire said in slight amusement, but was still looking tensely at the wolves.
"How did you get out?" I asked turning back to Jasper.
"All the prisoners helped get a few of us out." He said with a serious nod, glancing between the two vampires beside him.
"And what about… Edward?" I asked choking his name out for the first time in a long time.
Paul pressed his side against mine, watching me, before looking back at Jasper.
Jasper looked at me with pain coating his eyes.
"He's gone nuts Bella, he's in the closest thing I've seen to a vampire depression, he needs you." Jasper said looking at me seriously.
My insides twisted in agony at his words, and I felt tears coming back to my face.
"He said he didn't love me anymore." I said lowly, but I knew he would hear.
Jasper touched my shoulder with his hand.
"Bella he lied, he left because he wanted to give you a normal life, because he thought if we stayed in you're life we would ruin it." Jasper said and it was hard not believing him, when he sounded so genuine, but I had doubts.
I looked down at my feet for a long time now, biting my lip.
"Jasper I moved on…" I said barely above a whisper, and glanced up at his wide pain filled eyes.
"You… did?" He asked as if he was in shock.
"Yes, Paul imprinted on me, and well… I fell in love." I said feeling the tears again, and Paul growled rubbing his head on my side.
Jasper looked down now, looking as if he was in agony himself.
"Edward will be.. Destroyed." He stuttered out, running a hand through his blonde hair.
"I'm sorry Jasper, so sorry, Edward had told me to move on, and he wasn't coming back, and … I just can't." I said now crying.
Jasper quickly hand me in a hug, rubbing my back with a hush.
"Please don't cry Bella, everything will work out I know it will.." He said but the lack of faith in his voice wasn't reassuring.
That's the time I noticed that most of the wolves had phased back, and was just lingering around us.
"Your not going to call the wolves off are you." Jasper asked after letting me go.
I shook my head.
"Even if I asked them to they wouldn't listen to me, they believe its their job to do this Jazz, this fight is going to happen no matter what." I said looking at him.
Jasper sighs now.
"That's what I was afraid would happen." He said looking back to the two vampires beside him.
"Well I'll stay and fight." One said with a shrug.
"Of course we will." The other said with a small smile.
Jasper now looks back at me.
"Then we're staying to, we'll help you fight." He said with a nod.
"Then you will have to follow me for our plan." Sam said stepped forward looking at them all tensely.
Jasper nodded, and gave me a weak smile before leading the other two vampires with him and over to Sam, were they all disappeared.
I turned back to Paul, not noticing til now that he had phased back.
"Are you ok, that looked.. Emotional.." He said pulling me to his chest for a hug.
I sighs, closing my eyes, and hugging him tight.
"I'm ok now." I said relaxing in his arms.
"Why don't you ever listen to me when I say 'stay'?" He asked putting his head down on mine with a sigh.
"Because I'm not you're dog." I teased.
"Not really the best time for that Bells." Paul laughed lightly.
I shrugged.
"Come on let's get you to bed." He said pulling me in his arms, and carrying me back to our tent.
I yawned at this, resting my head on his shoulder.
"Remind me to kill you in the morning for running through all the others like that, I thought I was going to have a heart attack." Paul muttered as we entered the tent.
I laughs weakly.
"Sorry, I wasn't thinking, just doing." I admitted, barely being able to open my eyes to look up at him.
He carefully laid me down on my sleeping bag, and put the blanket on me, kissing me a sweet kiss before pulling away, clicking the flash light off.
"Good night babe, like I said, I'll be here in a few minutes." Paul said patting my leg before disappearing out of the tent.
I sighed, curling myself in the sleeping bag, and staring up into the darkness around me.
I couldn't sleep without Paul here, plus my thoughts on what Jasper had told me were still buzzing through me mind.
Edward had still loved me.. He would be destroyed when he finds out I moved on..
Could this really have been true. My insides felt horrible. If I would have just stayed away from LaPush, and Jacob, and waited a bit longer Edward would have come back and we could have been together again.
My heart squeezed at the thought painfully.
And if I wasn't so deep in with Paul I would have easily made the decision to go back with him. But Paul and I were connected deeply, and in love.
I could still feel the burn in my heart from the old love that I felt for Edward, but was it enough for me to forget the love for Paul?
What was I going to do? I didn't want to hurt either of them, and I can't image my life with either of them.
My emotions were so mixed up and jumbled that I didn't even know when I fell asleep.
As I slept I had a dream.
"Bella no please don't do this!" I heard a familiar voice call. I turned to the voice taking in Paul standing only a few feet from me.
"Bella, no." Another voice said from the other side of me, and ice went down my spine at it. I turned shakily to see Edward there, watching me. I gazed at his beauty for a second, overwhelmed by it, but looked away, and back to the edge of the cliff.
Somehow I knew what I had to do, and took a small step to the very edge.
"I have to, it's the only way I can choose between you to." I said looking down seriously and jumped without another thought.
I listening to their agonized screaming as I fell down more and more, I opened my eyes wide and prayed up to the heavens.
Please god, show me who's the one!
And that's when I saw it, the image of my true love's reflection in the water, I gazed at it for a second before my whole body crashed into it through the waters.
I launched myself upright from my dream, breathing hard, and wiping the sweat from my face that had came.
"Bella, are you ok?" Paul asked also sitting up in the space beside the sleeping bag.
I merely nodded, leaning back and staring up at the ceiling. "I'm fine, just a dream." I said with a small smile at him.
Paul sighs now, wrapping his arm around me and pulling me to his side.
"Everything will be alright." He yawned, and I nodded, resting my head back and closing my eyes.
My dream had to be more then just a dream, I had a feeling this was what it was supposed to be, and I know this is going to hurt me, and him but it was my choice.
I knew now who I wanted to be with, and no one else.
Review telling me who you think Bella should be with. I already have decided on who she picks but maybe one of you could talk me out of it.
