AN: Sorry I'm a little late with this chapter, and it's only half the chapter. The reason is that I haven't had enough time to write it all, and I haven't written the second half of this chapter; but at least it's something! I hope you're enjoying so far. :)


Several months passed by and we – Jacob and I – were crazy in love. It was June, and things were starting to get crazy. The pack had been tracking Victoria all this time and still haven't caught her, plus, there was a serial killer close by. Someone had been on a murdering rampage in Seattle. Jacob had been running double shifts, so I hadn't seen him in two weeks. I was dying to have just one day with him, instead of a few minutes every night by my house.

"Jake, could you please ask Sam to give you one night off? Just one?" I begged him. "Please!"

"I'll ask, but I can't guarantee anything, Bells."

"Thank you, Jacob. This means so much to me, I've missed you like crazy!"

"I've missed you too, hon." He headed for the window, "I'll let you know tomorrow night. Bye, Bella. I love you." I didn't expect anything from Sam. After all, he was only making Jacob work so hard to protect me.

"I love you, too! Be safe." He was gone in a flash, back to patrol. I flopped back down on my bed and let out a gust of air, then I noticed something in my room. A dark figure, it couldn't have been there the whole time Jake was. I turned on my light and screamed, only to have a cold hand muffle it before any sound could come out. It was Edward. Fucking Hell! I hoped to God that Jacob smelled him by now and was on his way.

"What the Hell are you doing here? How dare you show your face after what you did? Get out of my house, NOW!" I was trying to be as loud as I could without waking Charlie, although I thought that wouldn't be the worst idea. Maybe Charlie would be as surprised to see him here and make him get out.

"Shh, Bella. I needed to make sure you were alive. Alice had a vision!" At that moment Jacob showed up. He was my hero, there for me whenever I needed him. It's like he could sense when I was n trouble, or in danger.

A snarl ripped through Jacob's chest, it was so frightening I froze in place. "Get out, leech!" He growled through bared teeth.

"What's so important that you had to come back here?" I was impatient. I was sleep deprived and Jacob deprived.

"Alice saw Victoria killing you. She and an army of new borns." Shock was probably written all over my face. Victoria would have killed me if Edward hadn't come back? "I had to know that you were safe. The vision doesn't take place until this weekend. I came to protect you from her."

"And we aren't good enough protection? We've been protecting her, and Victoria hasn't gotten within miles of her. She's safe, you can leave now!" Jacob spat.

"Why do you even care what happens to me, Edward? You said you didn't want me any more. You promised that would be the last time I saw you." I whispered, trying to lower the volume.

"That doesn't matter now. I will do whatever it takes to keep you alive." He assured me. "Jacob, we need to discuss Bella's safety. I know how much she means to you, and you'll do what ever it takes to keep her safe, too. Bring some of your pack by our house tonight, we'll fill you in on the details." Jacob simply nodded. He kissed me with so much passion, I forgot that we weren't alone and got carried away.

"Wait. Don't I get to come, too? This is about me, I have the right to know when someone plans on killing me." Jacob sighed and grabbed my hand. He leaped out the window cradling me, and took me with him to La Push. Good thing it wasn't a school night.

They went through battle strategies and training. The pack watched the Cullens, they didn't practice with them. I snuggled up in Jake's fur, and soon fell asleep. Jacob must have carried me home, because I woke up in my bed.

Jake and Billy came by the next morning with a cover-up for the weekend, and carted me off for a "camping trip".
