Later that night the mood was settling over the house. Jacob sat on the bed looking at the ipod in his hand. Alice had let him borrow it incase he wanted to use it to fall asleep to something. Jacob scrolled through her songs for a few moments before settling on one.
He put the headphones on and laid down. He waited a few seconds before the song 'Hide and Seek' came on. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes, hoping to fall asleep.
...
Edward was laying on the bed in his room his arms behind his head, one of his legs casually hanging off the side of the bed.
He wasn't sure why the rejection had hurt so much. After all..it's not like he was expecting Jacob to instantly forgive him. Hell, after what he had done how could Jacob just forgive him. He wouldn't have forgiven himself if he had been in Jacob's shoes.
He sighed softly at his own thought. He couldn't stop thinking about the young wolf though. He couldn't stop thinking about what he had done to him. He was surprised with himself that his bloodlust had grown so strong that he had just ignored Jacob's plea's.
But Edward's thoughts had been about as logical as Jacob's had when he was a newborn. He began to wonder though how he would be able to get Jacob to forgive him. He could tell it wouldn't be easy to.
Edward closed his eyes upon this thought. His mind was drifting when images that weren't his own began to drift into his head. He recognized them relentless of this fact, they were of Edward biting Jacob.
Edward picked his head up realizing the thoughts themselves were coming from Jacob. He stood up walking out of his room into the hall way. Apart from reading people's thoughts Edward found that if he concentrated he could pick up their dreams as well.
He walked down the hall to the door and opened it slowly looking into the room. He stepped inside and looked over at the boy's bed to see him sleeping. He could see the headphones in his ears and recognized Alice's ipod.
He walked closer to his bed and stood at the side of it. While focusing on the boys dream.
Or in this case nightmare.
...
Jacob cringed when he fell onto his stomach. He cringed but picked his head up looking behind him before trying to stand up. Only to be shoved down once more.
Jacob looked behind him with wide eyes at Edward who was currently preventing him from escaping.
"E-Edward get off of me," he said. Edward hissed turning him onto his back while holding his wrists in a vice grip. "Let go of me!" Jacob said trying to struggle free of his grasp.
Edward growled at him while tightening his already bone breaking grip. Jacob cringed as he felt his bones grinding against each other.
He let out an almost blood curdling scream when he felt the boys fangs sink into his neck. All the while the venom seeped into his body and began running through his veins. The sky above him was suddenly blurring together and starting to blacken around the edges.
The life being sucked out of him while the thickening scent of blood began to practically choke him. The awful scent mixing with the salty scent of the tears that rapidly ran down his face. The heat of his own body clashing with the cold pressing against him. The only sound was his screams of agony.
...
Edward widened his eyes when he saw the images cut off and he realized the young Quiluete was waking up. He used his speed and rushed out of the room. Jacob opened his eyes and blinked.
He sat up and slowly took the headphones off. He looked around with a slightly confused look on his face. He could have sworn...No.
Jacob rubbed his arm slightly before reaching up and placing his hand over the marks on his neck. He knew Edward was truly sorry for what he had done. But for some reason Jacob couldn't bring himself to forgive him. Not yet at least...his emotions of hatred and fear for the vampire were still too strong and fresh.
Jacob sighed removing his hand and closed his eyes laying back down. He just wanted to sleep for now.
...
Well night had turned into day and Jacob awoke that morning. He looked around the room for a second, taking into account where he was. He picked his head up when he heard the door open he turned his head.
To see Carlisle, who he recalled had told him the news yesterday.
"Well good to see your awake again," he said. Jacob looked at him for a moment but said nothing. The doctor didn't comment on this and walked over to the side of the bed. "I'm just going to check your vitals." he said.
Jacob raised a brow slightly as he watched the blonde take his wrist to feel his pulse, "Vitals? Aren't I...half dead now do i even have vitals?" he questioned.
"Well since I can still feel a pulse I'm guessing that you do."
"Look, I need to go see my pack," Jacob said. Carlisle looked at him for a moment.
"Are you sure thats such a good idea? After all it's not completely certain if they'll let you go back."
Jacob frowned slightly before taking a breath, "It doesn't matter if its not a good idea, I have to see them." Jacob said. "They need to know...I can't just avoid them. I need them to know." he said.
He did need them to. He knew the vampire was right though...it was uncertain if they would let him come back. That's what Jacob feared.
"Alright..I suppose I can arrange for them to meet with us at the border." he said. Jacob said nothing in reply though he just nodded. He could hear the doctor leave as the door shut again.
Jacob closed his eyes letting out a breath.
/Come on Jacob get it together./
He told himself hoping it would help him pull himself together. He knew he would have to push everything away for a little bit, at least until he met with his pack.
He opened his eyes and then stood up from the bed with a silent grunt. Noting he hadn't been on his feet for awhile.
He walked to the door and almost hesitantly stepped into the hall. Array's of scents hit his nose that he had never smelled before. Before to him, everyone here had smelled well..like a vampire. Which he had always found quite unpleasant..but he noticed he couldn't smell it now at all.
He looked around realizing he was extremely unfamiliar with the house. He continued to look around awhile before he started walking down the hall.
He looked at the doors and noticed one of them that was open. He walked in finding it was a bathroom. He looked over at the mirror that was hung above the sink, Jacob widened his eyes slightly.
He seemed almost hesitant when he walked up to the mirror. While staring at his reflection, the truth was Jacob hadn't seen his reflection ever since the transformation occurred. He found himself just staring at it in surprise.
He looked different...his eyes were what really surprised him. Before they had been a regular brown..but now they seemed to stick out a lot more. They now appeared to be a gold color like the other Cullen's while his own appeared to be lined with brown. He let his eyes scan over his face his skin seemed only slightly paler then before.
Only lessening the light brown it already was. He furrowed his brows slightly opening his mouth, to see fangs. He lifted a finger up touching one of them as if he expected it to be fake. He lowered his hand again and let his eyes fall to his neck.
He lifted his head exposing his neck as he looked at the marks there. He gingerly reached his hand up again touching the marks and winced. Noticing the marks were sore and stung slightly, he touched them again though gently this time.
He kept his brows furrowed as he stared at them, observing them at angles. Why he was he wasn't exactly sure.
Edward was walking down the hallway to go downstairs when he noticed the bathroom door open. He glanced at it and looked inside to see Jacob standing there awkwardly looking and touching his neck.
"What are you doing?" Edward asked. Jacob jumped dropping his hand.
"Nothing," he answered quickly as he glanced at Edward. They didn't say anything to each other but Jacob seemed to be glaring at Edward slightly.
"Carlisle said he's going to call your pack," Edward noted out loud. Jacob broke their stare looking to the side instead.
"Yeah I know that, I'm the one who asked him to," he said. Truth be told he felt extremely uncomfortable being in the same room with the older vampire. Half because he was angry with him and didn't want to be near him. The other half being he was afraid of being alone with him after what he did.
Jacob unconsciously lifted his hand up his fingers touching the mark on his neck. He knew it was such a pussy thing to be scared...but the event had given him some sort of trauma it seemed.
Edward frowned visibly hearing the boys thoughts. Jacob removed his hand and carefully walked past Edward trying to keep as much distance between them as he could manage.
He walked down the hall again and found the stairs and walked down them. He felt like he was having deja vu again. Mainly because he remembered standing there staring at all the vampires in the room before. And he felt just as awkward about it now as he did then.
"We should go now if we want to meet them there," Carlisle said looking at the young wolf. Jacob just nodded as he walked to the door and walked out.
Several of the Cullen's exchanged nervous glances before following the teen outside. Edward seemed the most hesitant to leave though. Wasn't it bad enough he had done that to Jacob..he didn't want to be the cause of ruining the rest of his life.
...
They soon arrived at the border and in a matter of seconds Jacob was face to face with his pack. The members looked less then happy though.
"Why the hell is Jacob with you bloodsuckers!" Sam asked. Not even taking a chance to look at Jacob.
"Now lets calm down, there's no need to be hostile," Carlisle said using his best calming voice he could muster. Even though he knew that the wolves did have one reason to be hostile.
Sam glared at him slightly. But then took that chance to look at Jacob. His eyes went wide when he saw him though.
Jacob frowned staring straight back at him..he knew Sam knew what he was. And he couldn't be more ashamed of himself at that moment.
"Jake...your..your one of those leeches!" he asked. Jacob frowned looking down. Sam snarled loudly looking at the Cullen's once more. "What did you do to him!" he nearly shouted.
"It was an accident." Jasper stated not letting his face give way to any emotion.
"There's nothing we can do about it Sam," Jacob said. Keeping his eyes to the ground it was taking ever ounce of him not to lose it. Sam looked at him.
"Jake...you know we can't let you come back now," he said. Jacob widened his eyes, his head shooting up to stare at the older man.
"What! Why not?" he asked. His voice mixed with shock, anger, and fear. Sam frowned looking down.
"Your not one of us anymore Jake." he stated looking at the boy. His expression firm. Jacob's appeared to be breaking though..he just couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was already so confused dealing with his identity crisis.
"I'm still half a werewolf Sam!" Jacob said raising his voice. Sam kept his expression firm.
"I'm sorry Jake..but it just won't work." he said. "It's not that we don't all love you Jake...but we can't let you come back..ever." he said. Jacob stared at him with wide eyes.
"What are you saying?" he asked. Even though he knew very well what was coming next. Sam breathed through his nose before meeting Jacob's eyes again.
"Jacob Black, from this day forward I hereby exile you from the pack." he said. "You are never to return to La Push again." he said.
Jacob stared at him he felt like he couldn't breath suddenly. Sam frowned then.
"I'm sorry Jake." he said before turning around and shifting with the rest of the pack and running off.
The other Cullen's looked at Jacob who was standing in front with his back to them. Jacob stood there he felt something breaking in him. The force hit him so hard that he was forced to his knee's.
They widened their eyes thinking the wolf was hurt. Carlisle and Alice were quickly kneeling down next to the wolf. Looking for signs of injury.
Jacob stared at the ground his breath exhaling shakily.
"Jacob are you alright?" Alice asked. Jacob looked at the ground, he wasn't going to cry like last time though. He didn't know why this one shocked him so much.
"I-I'm fine...this is just way to much to swallow." he said breathing shakily. Jacob's eyes became more distressed when he realized so many things at once. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do." he said.
They all looked rather sympathetic of the hybrid now. After all he had just lost...everything. His home, his family, his pack, his species.
"I'm banned from La Push..I don't have anywhere to go, I don't know what to do." he admitted. Carlisle looked back at Esme, he stood up walking over to her.
They seemed to be whispering to each other. Esme held onto her husbands hand and nodded. Carlisle looked back at Jacob, "Jacob." he said. Jacob lifted his head up looking back at the blonde vampire. "..Your more then welcome to stay with us." he said.
Jacob just stared at them he couldn't find anything to reply with. Everything was moving way to fast for him to figure out what was going on. But he knew he didn't really have to reply. After all..it wasn't like he could say no. What choice did he have, he didn't have anywhere else to go.
He felt Alice help him to his feet, and everyone began walking back to the house. Jacob glanced over his shoulder as the boundary line became farther and farther away. Until he couldn't see it anymore.
He stood still as he arrived at the steps that led up to the porch. He stood still looking at them he turned his head looking behind him. He took a deep breath as he turned away.
Because he knew as soon as he walked up those steps...there was no looking back.

YAY i finished by the way i do not own 'Hide and Seek' its by Imogen Heap. So really you can see the pack has mixed feelings for Jacob..they don't completely hate him..but they don't really love him as much as before. As you can see also Jacob's trying to come to terms with everything that just happened. Which is why he wasn't crying he was more shocked then anything. Hope you liked it PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!...Oh and by the way if you wanted to know why i had Rose being really protective of Jake.
Its mainly because i liked the idea but also because she kind of knows what its like to have everything taken away from you. So she knows kind of what he's going through. BUT REVIEW!
