Hey everyone! It looks like I didn't get done with this chapter yesterday lol soooo as always enjoy and R&R!

I own nothing.

Chapter 3:

Jake POV:

We ran all the way home, cautious of being near civilization, Bella fed, gorging herself on many deer as well as a mountain lion. The golden fur reminded me that she couldn't go home; her eyes would be golden now instead of their original chocolatey brown. I needed to talk with same and my father, as well as Charlie...I don't know what I am going to tell him but he deserves to know.

"Jake? What are you thinking so hard about?" Bella asked as we slowed down and I phased back so we could talk.

Slipping on my shorts quickly, I said, "I don't think we can go home. You look to much like the Cullens and that would create suspicion. Also, what are we going to tell Charlie? I think he deserves to know."

"i agree, but what would we say? The truth?"

"I don't know know darling, I don't know." We continued on towards home. The silence was comfortable, yet tense because of our worry. "Bells, we are going to have to talk to the Cullens," I stated bluntly; wanting to get this conversation over with quickly.

She sighed. "I know. I'm scared that he will be there; trying to take me away from you again. I don't think I could handle that."

"I know darling. He won't take you away from me ever again."

"I love you Jake."

"I love you too honey." I phased back after giving her cheek a quick peck with my lips and we continued on. We had been running for almost a day now and we were nearing Forks. And I hadn't slept in nearly two days, not to mention I was slightly injured; mostly cuts and bruises. Knowing that we were close, I phased and laid down in a pile of leaves. "Bells," I whispered, my voice weary with exhaustion. "I need to sleep...love you." The last thing I remember was Bella curling up into my side.

"I love you too Jakey."

Bella POV:

I laid with Jake for 10 hours while he caught up on his sleep from saving me. I pondered what my power was and what would happen when I went to talk to Carlisle. I also thought about telling Charlie what I was, and knowing him, he wouldn't tell anyone. Finally, Jake started to stir and I tried to move away because I didn't want him to freak out due to my close proximity. But Jake had other ideas and grabbed my waist before I could get away; restraining me from leaving.

"Where ya goin' sweet-cheeks?" He asked, his speech slightly slurred by sleep.

"Just waiting for you," I replied. "Do you feel better?"

"Ya...Just not a morning person..." he replied grumpily; making me smile.

"I'm going to go grab something for breakfast, want anything?" I asked politely.

"Not right now," he laughed. "Unless you wanna catch me a squirrel!"

"I'll be back soon then; you stay here!"

"Yes ma'am." I took off flying and snagged a rabbit quickly; disposing of the carcass then headed back to Jake. On the way I snagged a squirrel for him. When I got back to our make-shift campsite, I dropped the squirrel at his feet. He looked so astonished that I actually brought him a squirrel that I fell to the ground laughing so hard. Good thing I don't need to breathe!

Jake POV:

I can't believe she brought me a freakin' squirrel! Then she's laughing at me so hard that the crazy vamp girl fell to the ground! What the hell?!

"Jake!Your...Face...Was...So...EPIC!" she laughed out at me between gasps.

"Yes, because dropping a squirrel at my feet is so normal," I said mock-grumpily. She started to calm down and finally arose from the ground.

"Sorry Jakey," she apoligized sweetly. "Forgive me?" Oh no...the pout...the puppy-dog eyes! I can't resist...

"Of course I forgive you darling...Wait, what the hell just happened?" I asked confusedly. Bella just laughed.

"Jakey honey, I think I just dazzled you into forgiving me," she said, giggling quietly. Ugh...crazy little pixie...

Bella POV:

"Jake! I can see your house! No, wait, that's not yours, never mind!" He burst out laughing. We had climbed a mountain right outside of Forks. I saw the Cullen house and instantly became nervous.

"What's wrong Bells? You suddenly got very tense..."

"Cullens..." I whispered.

"Darling, we need to talk to them."

"I know Jake, I just don't want too. I'm scared..." I said as I jumped off the rock I was sitting on. We made our way down the mountain slowly...heading for the Cullen's home.

"Aw sweetie, they can't hurt you anymore. You're mine now and I will protect you."

"I love you Jake."

"I love you too Bells. Forever."

"And Ever."

The end of yet another chapter!:) What did you think? R&R! Thanks for reading!
