AN: Big thanks to all those who reviewed on the last chapter! Now just let me say that there's some sexiness in this chapter, but it's not really anything M rated, (I'll just letting you know).
There's also dialouge from Eclipse in here, which isn't mine.
Another thing, there will be some death at the end of this chapter. Yeah, I said it. Death.
But don't go freaking out on me, cause I tell you right now this story will not end in a depressingly tragic way. It'll have a happy ending, but in order for that to happen, bad things may have to happen first. I'll telling you this now before heart attacks ensue and people yell at me for what I wrote. I know I'm probably overreacting by one can never be too sure...
Anyways, read. enjoy. review!
"So, Q. Did ya miss me?"
Quinn stared at her, then glanced over her shoulder at Bella, who had her nose and mouth covered by both hands. She looked back at Santana. "And you just punched Bella in the face…why?"
"Seriously Q?" Santana rolled her eyes, shaking her head exasperatedly. "It's like you don't even know me. I don't go yammering on for eighteen freakin years on how I'm gonna beat the shit outta Bella one day and like, not do it. Santana Lopez talks the talk and walks the walk. Bitch."
"You do realize that you just made an enemy now." Her gaze darted over to Edward, who looked livid.
Santana followed her gaze and merely scoffed. "Like he could take me on. Although I kind hope he will, cause I look forward to unleashing my Snix juice on his sparkling ass."
She wrinkled up her noise in distaste. "That sounds utterly disgusting."
"So's your face."
"That doesn't even make any sense."
"Your face doesn't make any sense."
She rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile. Santana's absurdity was something she dearly missed. "Santana…"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Now give me a hug before I revoke the invitation." She laughed and all but jumped into Santana's arms. She gasped and quickly pulled back. "Wow, you're hot."
Santana smirked. "Thought you said you didn't roll that way, Fabray. "
She playfully rolled her eyes and shook her head. "I don't. I just meant that you're warm. Like, really warm. Jacob warm even."
Santana laughed. "Well I do live in Hell now, what do you expect?"
"So how's demon life treating you? Well I hope."
"It's. Fucking. Awesome. I get boss around and torment all those damned human souls, curse when I want, beat the shit out of people without needing a reason for it, eat as many Breadstix breadsticks as I want and never worry about gaining a pound, and I get to scare the crap out of my old high school friends. My afterlife has never been better. Although I kind of figured it would since switching teams is kind of my forte. But anyways how's your lame ass human life?"
She smiled. "Much better the second time around."
"Your wolf knock you up yet?"
"Santana!"
"What? With the amount of sex I know you two be having, I figured it wouldn't be long before you'd get impregnated with his puppies."
Her cheeks flared up and she was pretty sure they were deep red too. "I am not pregnant and could you not bring up Jacob and mine's private life when we've got nearly twenty people listening in on our conversation?" she all but hissed, too mortified to glance over her shoulder to see if everyone was looking at them as well.
Santana just laughed. "Man, I almost forgot how easy it is to embarrass you." She briefly over at Jacob, who was watching them silently off to the side and then smirked as she refocused her attention onto her. "So do you two like do it when he's a wolf? Or would your vajayjay implode? Or is it explode?"
She groaned, inwardly cringing. "Oh my god, Santana. Please. Shut. Up."
"Sorry, I can't help it." Santana chuckled. "You know I love to embarrass you. It's one of my favorite hobbies."
"So glad my humiliation serves as a hobby for you." she grumbled under her breath.
"So, are you like gonna introduce me to your vamp family or am I gonna have to do that myself?" Santana still couldn't stop the laughter that escaped her when she got a glimpse of Bella. "So one of my top five favorite moments."
"I'll introduce you in a second but I want you to properly meet someone else first." She grabbed Santana's hand and led her to Jacob's enormous russet wolf self. "Jacob, if you haven't already figured out, this is Santana."
"The Santana." she corrected.
"Whatever. Santana, you know Jacob."
"What up, doggy?" Santana reached up and patted Jacob's head making him roll his eyes and Quinn laugh. "Good boy. Sit, stay, don't hump my leg -although I'd be flattered if you did."
She slapped Santana on the arm. "Don't treat him like a dog."
"Well, if he smells like a dog and looks like a dog…."
Jacob snorted and stepped away from her, then retreated into the trees and returned as his human self. "You know up until now, I actually liked you. But now that we've actually met, not so much."
She chuckled. "That's usually the response she gets when someone meets her."
Santana glared at him, ignoring her comment all together. "Don't you have butts to sniff, mutt?"
"Okay, okay, none of that you two." she said quickly as she moved in between the two of them when Jacob opened his mouth to retaliate. "Play nice for my sake, please."
"Uh, Quinn?" She turned her attention away from Jacob and Santana at the sound of Alice's voice. "We're done with the training for today."
"I'll catch up with you guys later." Jacob said to the pack, who were waiting on him up until now.
They disappeared into the trees and when Quinn glanced back at the family, she noticed almost all of them had left too (with the exception of Jasper, who no doubt was waiting for Alice). She figured they'd headed back to the house to help Bella. "How's Bella?"
"Well, uh, she's definitely got a broken nose. It looks as though she'll get a black eye too." Alice gaze drifted over to Santana. "And was there any particular reason as to why you decided to punch Bella?"
"Santana has issues." she answered for Santana, making the girl scowl. "Don't make me vaporize your ass, Fabray."
"So what's taken you so long to stop by?" Quinn wondered as she, Santana, and Jacob made their way back to the Cullen house; Alice and Jasper had left ahead of them.
"Sue's been keeping me busy with work." Santana replied, but then added: "Well, that and I kind of didn't want to intrude on your new life."
"You could never intrude, Santana." she grabbed onto Santana's wrist, forcing her to make eye contact. "You're my best friend - which means you will always be a part of my life."
Santana smiled wryly. "Yeah, whether you like it or not."
She laughed and nodded, then followed Jacob up the steps to the house and thanked him when he opened the door for the both of them.
"Thanks, teen wolf." Santana thanked from behind her.
She walked into the living room where the rest of the family was. She smiled sympathetically at the sight of Bella on the couch with a ice pack on her nose.
Poor girl.
"Was it really necessary for you to bring her here, Quinn?" Edward asked her, though his harsh gaze was focused on Santana.
Santana rolled her eyes. "Calm yourself, sparkles. I'm not gonna beat down on your girl again. I got that punch out of my system so I'm cool now. It won't happen again."
"Sorry if I have trouble believing the word of a demon."
"You do so not want to get on my bad side, Cullen." Santana stepped forward despite her attempts to stop her. "I could turn your balls to ash with the snap of my fingers and don't think that I won't."
"Santana, could you try and reign in all the threats?" she whispered under her breath to her. "This is my family you're talking to."
Santana jaw tensed for a moment before she exhaled heavily. "Fine."
"Good." She turned to the rest of the family and nodded her head. "Guys, I know I've told you all about her but I'd like to properly introduce you to Santana. My best friend."
"Also ex- guardian angel, current demon and all around bad ass." Santana finished by flashing her pearly white teeth.
"Well, it certainly is a pleasure, Santana." Carlisle stepped forward and offered his hand, which Santana gladly took. "Likewise, Doc. You're smokin' hot by the way. You can give me a physical any time you-" She stopped abruptly at the fury/disbelief in Quinn's eyes.
Alice exchanged a look with Jasper before chuckling. "And here we were thinking you were embellishing Santana's…colorful personality, Quinn."
Santana snorted. "She wishes she had that kind of talent."
After greeting Esme and having Quinn introduce her to the others, Santana sat down on the couch next to Bella (much to her dismay). She looked around at the others expectantly. "So what's the deal with this newborn army thing?"
"Bunch of vampires trying to kill Bella." Jacob replied casually. "You know, the usual."
Santana smirked when Bella subtly moved a few inches away from her. "Yeah, same old, same old."
Quinn's eyes widened when a sudden thought occurred to her. "Hey, Santana-"
"I'm gonna stop you right there, Q." she quickly interrupted, holding up a hand. "I know what you're gonna ask/suggest and the answer is no can do. I can't use my powers to incinerate those baby leeches. As much as I'd love to, I've got strict orders to let you all take care of this yourselves."
Her smile faltered, the hope fading from her eyes. Of course. It were times like this where she wished she'd stayed an angel just so she could obliterate those pesky newborns with the flick of her wrist.
Santana turned toward her. "So what are you gonna do while all this kung-fu fighting's going on?"
"She's going to stay on the Reservation." Jacob answered before his gaze drifted over to Edward. "Which leads me to ask what do you plan on doing with Bella during the fight?"
"I've not quite figured out all the details yet." Edward replied.
"Well, you might as well leave her on the Res too. She'll be safe there. We're making the younger wolves to stay behind anyways."
Edward shook his head. "I can't leave her somewhere she's been frequently. She has to be hard to find."
"I could have her in Australia, like that." Santana suggested with a snap of her fingers. "Just saying."
"Yeah, riding in the pouch of a kangaroo." she retorted, though fighting to contain a chuckle.
"Hey, she'll be away from the vampires. That's what counts, right?"
Edward scoffed. "You just punched my girlfriend in the face, I apologize if I'm not too enthusiastic about leaving her in your care."
Santana just shrugged him off. "Whatever."
Bella took the ice pack off her nose, which was red and swollen, and spoke up. "Wait a minute, I'm not just gonna hide while you're out taking all the risks for me."
Edward looked back at her and sighed. "I need to keep you as far away from the fight as possible."
"You can't get any farther than Australia." Santana mumbled under her breath.
Edward ignored her, his attention still on Bella. "What I mean is that if Victoria really is the one involved-"
Emmett frowned. "Wait, what? I thought we decided that she wasn't behind all this."
"I think she is." Bella stated. "The intruder, the newborns, they're all her puppets. She's the one controlling all this."
"But I would've seen if she wanted to make an army." Alice argued.
"Not unless she was hiding behind them and she's letting someone else decide." Bella explained. "Like that Riley kid, the one Edward recognized in your vision." She returned her gaze to Edward. "And Jasper said so himself that I could be of help. You know with my scent. It'll help lure the newborns in."
"We won't need your help. With the wolves in this, it's an easy win." Edward assured. "The rest of us aren't going to have enough to do."
"Okay, either it's so dangerous that I have to hide or it's so easy that you're gonna be sidelined. Which is it?"
"It's dangerous for you, it's easy for us."
"Well, I think it's dangerous for us to be apart. I mean, how many times do we have to prove that?" Bella pushed herself off the couch and moved to Edward's side. "I'll be worried. You'll be worried. And we'll both be more vulnerable."
"Okay you're right." he reluctantly conceded.
Bella nodded. "So I'm coming with you."
"No, we both stay away together."
Bella frowned at this and immediately started to shake her head. "I can't make you choose between me and your family."
"The only way I can protect you is to be with you."
Bella sighed, taking a second to rub her eye wearily. "Okay, but what about my dad? He needs protection too."
"He'll be staying on the Res with my dad." Jacob interrupted. "There's a game on this weekend and they plan to go fishing with Old Quil so it all works out. He'll be fine."
"I need to get you home." Edward whispered to her after she yawned. "Before Charlie wakes up." Bella agreed and said a quick goodbye to everyone before Edward let her out of the house.
Santana looked back at Quinn once they were gone. "So does like, Bella have any idea that I was her guardian angel?"
"Well, I haven't told her." she replied. "And I don't think Edward has either."
Santana laughed. "That just makes this whole thing all the more funnier."
Jacob chuckled. "Yeah, I bet Bella totally got a kick out of being punched in the face by a stranger." He glanced over at Quinn and noticed her covering a yawn. "You should probably get to sleep too."
"Yeah, I'll get going so you could hit the sack." Santana stood up and smoothed out her dress.
"Wait, but I'll see you again, right?"
Santana nodded and exchanged a hug with her. "Yeah, just give a holler and I'll be there." She turned to the others and smiled. "It was nice meeting you guys."
Esme nodded. "Likewise, Santana."
"Even though you did punch one our family members…" Alice started.
Santana's hands moved to her hips. "Like you all haven't thought about doing that at least once since she came into your lives."
Rosalie smirked. "The girl speaks the truth."
"Damn straight." She nodded, wrapping her arms around Quinn once more before disappearing.
He closed the door behind him with his foot and carried Quinn over to her bed. Once he set her down, he picked up the small remote off her dresser and pressed one of its buttons at the windows. Automatically her lavender curtains moved across the glass, intent on keeping the sunlight out when it came time. They still had a few more hours until that happened but he didn't want to be disturbed. He put the remote down as she scooted over on her bed. He grabbed one of her pillows and placed it at the head next to hers before laying down with her. Because her bed was so much bigger than his own, they both were able to comfortably lay next to each other with room to spare.
His hand moved to her lower back when she rolled onto her stomach and began absentmindedly caressing her in soothing circular motions. "That Santana sure is something." he murmured.
"Tell me about it." Her voice was partly muffled by her pillow.
"I was thinking about what she said. You know how she could have Bella in Australia?"
She rolled onto her side and propped her head up with her arm. "Yeah, what about it?"
"Well, you'd think she'd could do that for you?"
She arched her eyebrow, something he could clearly see even in the dark. "You want her to keep me in Australia during the fight?"
"Well it doesn't have to be Australia. Anywhere will do." He straightened up when she turned on her bedside lamp.
"What happened to me staying in La Push? You said it yourself I would be safe there."
"I know but what if something were to happen? What if a leech were to slide past the younger wolves? You could be in danger."
"Those newborns aren't going to want to come near your guys' smell. Besides, like I told you before, they have no reason to attack the Reservation. You're just overly worrying again, Jacob. I will be fine."
He stayed silent.
"But if it'd make you feel better, we could always ask Santana to stay with me while the fight goes on." she suggested. "And if something were to happen, she could get me out of there in a heartbeat and return me when the coast is clear."
"She'd do that for you?"
She nodded. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure she would. She's almost as overprotective as you are."
His body instantly relaxed against her headboard at this. She sighed heavily. "You know this really sucks. I hate being so…useless."
"You are not useless."
She scoffed. "Oh I so am. I went from being a powerful angel to vulnerable human. I know being human again is what I wanted but given the circumstances…I don't know, I just could've been so much more help to you all before…"
"You don't need to stress about this, Quinn." He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her onto his lap. "Don't worry, okay? You've been protecting me for my entire life. Now it's time for me to return the favor."
"I just don't want to be the useless damsel in distress, you know?"
"Tell me, did you ever consider yourself a damsel in distress when you were human the first time around?"
"…well, no. Not really."
"So what makes you think you'll become one this time?" She shrugged.
"If it's something you don't want to happen, it's not going to happen." He leaned his head down and pressed his lips to her collarbone. "You are anything but a damsel in distress."
"And you're no knight in shining armor."
"Damn right I'm not. I eat those kinds of guys for breakfast." He flashed his sharp, menacing teeth and snapped at her, making her giggle.
"I'd chose a werewolf over a knight any day." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly. He instantly kissed her back, unable to control the amount of passion he'd put in it. Her lips were just so soft and smooth that he couldn't help himself.
His grip on her tightened when she rubbed her hands over his shoulders, biceps and chest, prompting him to caress her hips in a similar manner. He nipped and nibbled on her bottom lip playfully before deepening their kiss and slipping his tongue into her mouth. She moaned breathlessly as his lips traveled down her neck and hands moved to her thighs, which were now on either side of his waist. Things were becoming very heated, very fast, but slowly they both realized things were getting a little out of hand. And since the rest of her family was still downstairs, they slowed their movements until they were just exchanging kisses.
Rolling onto his side, he sighed heavily and draped his arm across the bed, expecting to come in contact with Quinn. With his eyes still closed, he moved his hand around searching, until he was forced to open his eyes to see exactly where she was. She wasn't even on the bed. Figures.
He pushed himself upright while his mouth stretched wide in a yawn and reluctantly pushed the covers aside. He glanced back at her alarm clock before forcing himself out of bed.
He wasn't exactly ready to wake up yet but then again, when was he ever?
He headed over to Quinn's bathroom and closed the door behind him, where he then brushed his teeth and took a quick shower. Once he finished, he wrapped a towel around his waist and returned to the bedroom to dress. After throwing on a shirt and some shorts, he hung up his towel on the back of the bathroom door and then made his way downstairs.
He inhaled hungrily as he walked into the kitchen, the mouthwatering aroma of waffles and bacon filling his nose. He was met with the sight of Quinn, Santana, and Esme sitting around the kitchen counter, with Santana in the process of telling Esme about 'Slushie Facials'.
He himself didn't know what a 'Slushie Facial' was, but he figured it was some kind of a girl term.
"Perfect timing, Jacob." Esme greeted him when she noticed him walk in. "I just made a fresh batch of blueberry waffles."
"Awesome." He all but drooled. He walked over to Quinn and kissed her cheek in greeting. As he sat down next to her, he said morning to Santana, who replied with, "Morning, Cujo."
Esme pushed a plate stacked with waffles, bacon, hash browns and eggs his way and instantly he grabbed his fork to dive in. The girls continued with their conversation as he ate, so he kept quiet and listened to Santana talk about her human life.
Once he finished, Esme asked if he wanted seconds, but he declined. "Jasper and Edward wanted you to meet them out in the forest when you finished breakfast. They said they needed to talk to you." Quinn informed him as he finished the last of his orange juice.
"What about?"
"Something about finding a place suitable for the fight." she replied, though unsure.
"Okay. I'll be right back then." He slid off his stool and gave her a quick kiss before leaving the kitchen.
As soon as he was out of the house, he stripped himself of his clothes and quickly tied them to the band he had in his pocket around his leg. He phased and then followed Jasper and Edward's scent into the trees. He ran for about ten minutes before spotting them. He phased back and threw his clothes on again before meeting them in the clearing they'd led him to.
"What's up?"
Jasper gestured to the open space around them. "This field will give us an advantage in battle. We need to lure the newborns with Bella's scent, but it needs to end here."
"Bella and I decided to make a campsite up on the mountain." Edward explained. "Completely out of the way and easily defensible, but still accessible to us if needed. Problem is if I carry her, they'll still pick up on our scents."
"But your scent will mask hers if you carry her." Jasper continued. "The newborns won't want to get anywhere near your odor."
Nodding his head, he replied, "Yeah, sure. I can do that."
"Good. Thank you, Jacob. I'll bring her here tomorrow afternoon to lay the false trail and then you can carry her up to the campsite."
"Maybe you should stay with them, Jacob." Jasper glanced over at Edward, whose brow instantly furrowed at his brother's suggestion. "It would better if you were able to keep in touch with both sides for coordination purposes. If you had a wolf by your side, the mental link will allow you to know exactly what's going on in both places."
"I could have Seth stay up there with you guys." he stated, agreeing with Jasper's suggestion. "Even during the fight. We were planning on keeping him out of it anyways and he's been resisting us…this will be the perfect assignment for him."
Edward nodded his head, though his expression hadn't changed much. "That works out perfectly."
"This will work, Edward." Jasper stated, voicing the assurance that he himself had just thought to Edward.
"We've decided to have another training session this afternoon." Edward informed him. "The pack is welcome to join us again."
"I'll ask, but I'll there definitely." Sensing that this conversation was done, he nodded his head at both of them and then jogged back into the trees. Once he was phased, he headed toward La Push to inform Sam of the training session and Seth of his new assignment. He made a mental note to stop by his own house and tell his dad everything that had happened from since he left.
He collapsed onto the couch and propped his feet up on the coffee table in front of him. He'd just finished helping Quinn with the dishes they'd used for dinner and now he could finally relax. Since training was done for the day and he wasn't lined up to patrol tonight, he had the evening free to spend with Quinn at the house. His dad was currently over at Sue Clearwater's house, keeping her company since she'd been pretty lonely ever since Harry died.
The Cullens were also away hunting, but Edward had stayed behind to be with Bella; the two of them taking advantage of his empty house.
So gross.
"So did you want to watch a movie now?" he inquired once Quinn returned to the living room. She nodded and picked up her bag from off his dad's chair, rummaging through it for a few moments. "Which movie did you want to see first?"
He figured he'd have to endure a night of typical girl movies like those lame romantic comedies or those boring time period dramas, but as long as they made her happy, he couldn't complain.
She walked back over to him and handed him a movie. He took one look at the jacket cover and then arched his eyebrow at her.
"What?"
He turned the movie around, showing her the cover. "You do realize that this isn't a chick flick, right?"
In fact it was the farthest thing from a chick flick: Batman Begins.
She rolled her eyes and snatched the movie back from him. "Yes, I'm well aware. And you know just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean I only like 'girl' movies. I'm open to any kind of movie…as long as they have interesting plots, adequate acting, and a lack of gore or nudity."
"So what else did you bring?" he asked, now intrigued.
She grabbed the rest of the DVDs she'd brought from her bag and flipped through them. "Uh, Walk the Line, King Kong, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Edward Scissorhands, The Bourne Identity…. I wasn't really sure what you wanted to see or what to bring really so I just grabbed a variety."
"And all these movies are yours?"
She shook her head and handed him the rest of the DVD's. "I borrowed them from the boys. Emmett and Jasper have quite the collection. And since they had them I knew they had to be good. So is this okay?" She gestured to the cover of the Batman Begins.
He nodded and took it from her, then opened the cover and popped out the disc. "Yeah, I love this one." He went over to the DVD player and placed the disc in the tray before returning to his seat. After pointing the remote at the television to turn it on and pressing play, he lowered the volume. "So when this whole newborn thing is over and done with I think we should finally do it."
She looked at him, confused. "Uh…you are aware that we're already 'doing it', right? Or has all that training you've been doing with the pack muddled your memory?"
"Not sex." He laughed as she sat down next to him. "I mean a date. A real one. You and I have been together all this time and yet, I've never taken you out on a actual date."
She leaned back in her seat and exhaled. "Boy, I haven't gone out on a date since Eisenhower was president. I hope I remember how to do it."
"So you'd want to go out some time?" he clarified, though he kind of already knew what her answer would be.
"Of course." She leaned forward and kissed his lips. "I would love to go out with you."
He kissed her back and grinned. "Awesome."
She stood up and gestured back behind them. "Did you want any snacks?"
"Could you get me some of those pop tarts we've got in the pantry?" She nodded and made a quick dash to the kitchen.
She came back with two packages of pop tarts for him and a small bag of green grapes for herself. She handed both of the pop tart packages to him before she sat back down. "You know, I don't see how you can eat those things." she started as he ripped into one of the packages and bit into half of a pop tart. "They're awful. And not to mention incredibly unhealthy."
"Says the girl who practically inhales bacon every chance she gets."
She merely stuck her tongue out at him before directing her attention back onto the television.
For the first half hour, they watched in comfortable silence, the two of them engrossed in the movie…that is until Santana suddenly popped in front of the television, startling them both.
"Santana! What are you doing here?"
"Came to bug you guys. Duh." She walked over to them and then wedged herself in between them on the couch.
"Didn't you do that already?" Quinn asked, referring to lunch with the pack Santana had crashed earlier. Not that either one of them minded her being there, but the fact that all she did was crack jokes of their private lives to the others made things awkwardly embarrassing.
Which is basically what the guys in the pack live for, so Santana, despite being the demon that she is, instantly won them all over.
"So what are we watching? Ooh, Batman. Nothing gets my lady parts going more than a masked billionaire."
"Santana, don't you have some demon work you could be doing right now?" he asked, partially annoyed at the sudden intrusion.
Santana rolled her eyes. "I don't work all the time, teen wolf." She looked around and made a face at Quinn's bag of grapes. "Okay, tell me you all got better snacks than that."
When neither of them answered her, she huffed in frustration. "Oy. A girl's gotta do everything herself. Well fine. I'll be right back."
She disappeared and then reappeared a minute later, carrying a overflowing popcorn bucket, and a package of Red vines, Sour Patch Kids, M&M's, Reese's peanut butter cups, jelly beans, Sweet Tarts, gummi bears, and chocolate covered pretzels.
Quinn stared at her in disbelief when Santana dumped her candy selections onto her lap. "What did you do, rob a movie theater?"
"Maybe." Santana sat back down and set the popcorn in her lap. "What's it to ya?"
Quinn shared a look with him before focusing on Santana. "Uh, Santana, not to be rude, but haven't you ever heard the phrase three's a crowd?"
Santana snorted. "Crowd's are fun. Haven't you ever been to a rock concert?" She took her attention of the screen and looked at Quinn. "Oh, right. Never mind."
He cleared his throat uncomfortably. "Santana, we were kind of in the middle of something."
"You were watching a movie, jolly green giant, I know. I'm not blind."
"What he means is that we were looking forward to spending the evening together alone."
Santana sighed heavily and shoved her popcorn bucket into his grasp before standing up in front of them. "Okay, look, here's the way I see it. I stay here, you two refrain from going all animal status on each other's bodies, I save you from getting inseminated by his mega wolf sperm and creating a little furry baby who's going to have major issues for the rest of his or her life because of his mother's love of bestiality and his father's compulsive need to be naked all the time, and also from getting a quickie marriage that will no doubt lead to a horrible life neither of you signed up for."
"Which will then result in divorce if you two hadn't already went all psychopathic and shit on the other ass. And don't act so revolted, you two are psychopaths in the making. It'll happen, trust me. The point is: with every minute I spend here, I am literally saving your relationship, or at least delaying the inevitable for another day….but anyways, you both can thank me now."
Quinn rolled her eyes. "Santana, if you really want to stay, just quit your babbling, sit back down and watch the rest of movie."
Santana glared at her defiantly. "You're not the boss of me."
"Fine. Then leave."
"Nice try, Fabray." She plopped back down on the couch and snatched her bucket of popcorn away from Jacob. "I be staying."
The three of them settled down and focused their attention on the movie in silence. Unfortunately that didn't last long because Santana decided to add in her own commentary as the film progressed. "…Katie Holmes is such a sucky actress. And I can't believe she's boinking Tom Cruise: the hobbit man. So gross. That girl needs help."
With her attention still on the screen, Quinn called out his name.
"Yeah, babe?" he answered, his gaze still locked on the screen as well.
"You mind going into my bag and grabbing that bottle of holy water I carry with me?" she asked, a smirk creeping onto face as she spoke.
Santana's head snapped back to look at Quinn, her eyes narrowed. "You wouldn't dare!"
Quinn turned her gaze away from the television. "I will phrase this in a way you will understand, Santana." She cleared her throat before continuing. "I wants to get my mack on and I wants to get it on now."
Santana's eyes widened. "Holy Shit! You mean with me?"
Quinn rolled her eyes and whacked Santana with the package of Red Vines. "Of course not you! Jacob! I wants to get my mack on with Jacob!" She groaned when she'd realized she said it again. "Oh God, your vocabulary's contagious!"
He had to press his fist to his mouth, his body shaking as he did his best to keep himself from laughing out loud.
"I can't believe you! You, my best friend threatening to douse me with holy water! That is so low! And for what?" Santana bolted out of her seat, hands moving to her hips. "A little alone with a guy you see all the time! I'm just trying to spend time with you, Q, since we haven't hung out in a while! BUT NO! I guess your boyfriend, who've you only known for a few months by the way is more important to you than your best friend of how many years?"
"I'm really sorry, Santana. I didn't mean to-"
"Yeah, not much you didn't." She sniffled, lifting her hand to wipe a tear from her eye.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Well, you could get me something to drink? A soda, perhaps? Cause my throat's really dry from all the yelling."
"Sure, yeah. Definitely." Quinn got out of her seat and disappeared into the kitchen.
Santana smiled to herself as she sat back down next to him. "So. Fucking. Gullible." She glanced at him. "Take note my friend, because that little performance works every time."
He nodded his head, impressed. "Way to guilt trip her into staying."
"It's one of my many talents. I'm pretty sure it's because I've got some Jewish blood in me."
Santana quickly changed the subject as Quinn walked back over to them. "So yeah, Jacob, you smoke that peace pipe a lot?"
Quinn sat down and handed Santana her soda. "By the way I could hear everything you were saying from the kitchen. It's a small house."
Santana shared a look with him.
Quinn smoothed out the skirt of her dress as she settled herself back in her seat. "And I've known about your little charade since '98. I was just humoring you all these years by playing along."
He laughed out loud this time, Santana's expression priceless.
"Is this really necessary?"
She was anxiously tapping her foot against the ground now, her head shaking as she watched Jacob criticize poor Seth.
"He needs to practice fighting with someone on two legs, Quinn." Jacob replied as he danced around in a circle with a phased Seth, waiting for the young wolf to make his move. "He needs to be prepared just in case something were to happen up on the mountain with Bella."
Seth whined unhappily, his ears flattening against his head.
"Oh come on, Seth." Jacob said with frustration, reluctantly relaxing his defensive stance. "You have no problem attacking me when I'm a wolf."
She frowned. "Cut him some slack, Jacob. He just doesn't want to hurt you. You're more vulnerable in your human form."
"Just because I'm human doesn't mean I'm weak." he stated before looking back at the sandy colored wolf. "Now come on Seth. Let's try this again. We only have today left to train."
Seth sighed heavily and nodded his large head before pawing at the ground, then lunging at Jacob.
She inwardly cringed and quickly looked away as Seth and Jacob proceeded to fight another.
This went on for nearly an hour and just when she was beginning to seriously consider heading back to Jacob's house…
"BOO!"
She nearly fell off the fallen tree trunk she was sitting on when Santana suddenly appeared out of nowhere and sat beside her. "What's crackalackin Q?"
"Recovering from a heart attack thank you very much."
"Cool." Santana's gaze drifted over to the wolf and human fighting in front of them. "What's going on?"
"Just some last minute training." She flinched when Seth forcefully knocked Jacob on his back, his head hitting the ground with a loud thud.
Thankfully Jacob had enough sense to phase into his wolf form before Seth got in another good hit and seriously injured him.
She scowled when Santana, who was thoroughly enjoying all this, started to egg young Seth on to really hurt her Jacob. "Oh c'mon, Clearwater, you could've broken his leg right there!"
She turned and smacked Santana on the arm. "Stop that! This isn't wrestlemania. The goal isn't for them to seriously injure one another."
Santana rolled her eyes and scoffed. "It's not like they won't heal, Quinn. And besides, this is getting boring. I want in." She watched with wide eyes as Santana hopped off the log she'd been sitting on and walked over to Seth. "You and me, Clearwater. Let's go."
"Santana, no way!" She looked to Jacob for back up, but he just shrugged his shoulders and stepped back.
"Chillax, Q." Santana said in a reassuring tone. "This pup can't hurt me."
"True, but you can most certainly hurt him!" She stomped over to the middle of their little training area and situated herself in between Santana and Seth. "You could kill him without meaning to! You know you have twice the strength of any newborn vampire."
"I promise I won't hurt him, Q." Santana held up her right hand to show how serious she was. "You have my word."
"As much as I would like to see Santana duke it out with Seth," Jacob started, now back in his human form as he walked over to them. "Seth's gotta go. Edward's bringing Bella to the clearing right about now and Seth has to carry her to the campsite." He looked to Seth and nodded. "You sure you'll be alright?"
Seth nodded his head and without further ado, disappeared into the trees.
"Fine then." Santana huffed, turning to Jacob once Seth was gone. "You and me, Black."
"No. Way." She immediately stepped in front of Jacob, glaring at Santana. "Not happening. It was bad enough having to watch Seth fight him, I absolutely refuse to do the same with you two."
Santana pouted. "You are seriously no damn fun, Fabray."
"Speak for yourself." Jacob smirked, his arms wrapping around her waist as his chin rested against the top of her head.
"C'mon, Q. A little added training for your furry Frankenstein will do him some good."
She scoffed. "Knowing you, you'd probably castrate him as a tactical move."
She heard Jacob swallow hard from behind her. "Suddenly I'm not so keen on taking on Santana."
Santana rolled her eyes. "It's not like I wouldn't return them to him, Quinn. I know you be wanting to be having his puppies in the future." She blushed furiously at that comment.
"What about puppies in the future?" The three of them turned around just as Leah emerged from the trees and made her way over to them.
She looked back at Santana, an idea coming to her. "Why not ask Leah to be your partner?"
"Woah, hold on, you know I don't roll that way." Leah interjected. "I like dudes."
Jacob shook his head, chuckling all the while, "Not like that, Leah. Quinn means for training. You know, extra practice."
"Oh, well I'm down." Leah nodded, her hands falling to her hips. "I don't mind giving an ass kicking to Little Miss She-Devil over here."
Santana snorted. "Like that would ever happen. I could knock you out with my left boob alone."
Leah arched her eyebrow and laughed, clearly not threatened by that. "Yeah, okay…."
"Oh, that's it." Santana pulled off her short jacket and tossed it to Quinn. As she removed her earrings, she smiled menacingly at Leah. "I'm about to go all Lima Heights on your furry ass."
"Santana, you mind I talked to you for a second?" Jacob asked, his hand wrapping around Santana's forearm.
She instantly sighed in relief, figuring Jacob planned on talking Santana out of this nonsense.
"What do you want, Clifford?" Santana said in annoyance as Jacob led her out of hearing range from Leah and Quinn.
He stopped once he figured they were far away enough. "Here's the thing-"
"No, I will not sleep with you."
"I wasn't going to ask that."
She scoffed, smiling knowingly. "Yeah, okay, Old Yeller. I know you wants on this," She gestured to her body. "And I'm flattered, really I am, but I couldn't do that to my girl, Q. So Imma have to say no."
He snorted, shaking his head at the very idea. "Hardly. What I wanted to talk to you about is…well, I was wondering if there was any chance you could stay in La Push with Quinn tomorrow while this whole newborn situation plays out. Just as an added precaution in case something were to happen."
She nodded, briefly shrugging her shoulders. "Sure. I can do that."
"And you'll keep her safe." He wanted to clarify. "No matter what?"
She arched her eyebrow at him, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "Are you forgetting that you are talking to the girl who literally went to Hell for that girl? And became a demon so said girl could get a second chance at being human?" She glared at him. "You think I'd let all my sacrifices go to waste by letting her get as a broken bone let alone killed? She's my best friend, dog. My sister. One of the few people I can tolerate being around and whose company I actually enjoy in the non-lesbian way."
"You aren't like, harboring a secret crush on Quinn, are you?"
"Look, Scott Howard, we may have made out a couple of times over the years-"
His eyes bugged out of his sockets. "What?"
Santana shook her head, fighting the urge to roll her eyes again. "You are such a typical guy. You hear a minor mention of some girl on girl action and your dick's suddenly ready to gouge my eye out. Calm yourself, boy. I was just messing with you. Quinn and I have never made out. Or danced around in our underwear or been involved in any other type of stupid male fantasy scenarios. Although we did kinda watch porn together in Hell….and run into Hitler…but that's another story entirely."
"Are we gonna do this, Lopez or you gonna wuss out?" Leah suddenly called out to Santana.
Santana retorted by calling her a few dirty names in Spanish before turning her attention back to Jacob. "Look, you've got my word. I'll protect Quinn while you're doing your thing with the pack. You don't have to worry. She'll be safe with me."
"Thanks, Santana." he said seriously though he nodded appreciatively. "And I truly do mean it."
Santana made a disgusted noise. "Jesus, Black. You're practically growing a vagina before my eyes. Save that sentimental crap for Quinn." She swiftly turned around and walked back over to Leah and Quinn.
He sighed and reluctantly followed her before gravitating to Quinn's side. She looked up at him curiously, one eyebrow slightly raised. "What was that all about?"
"Just making sure you have proper protection tomorrow." he replied before leaning down and placing a tender kiss to her forehead.
She nodded understandingly. "So do you want to go for a walk or something? I don't particularly want to watch Leah and Santana attempt to kill each other."
"Fine with me. I've been meaning to show you something anyways." He glanced back at Leah and Santana as he proceeded to lead Quinn toward the trees. "We'll catch up with you guys later."
"Try not to break her." Quinn called over to her shoulder.
"I won't." Santana and Leah both replied, thinking Quinn was addressing them specifically.
"Where do you think they're going?" Leah wondered when Jacob and Quinn disappeared into the forest.
"I totally aroused him." Santana replied casually. "So they're probably gonna go bone."
Leah wrinkled up her nose in disgust. "Gross."
"Most definitely."
"You are insane!"
Quinn shook her head at Jacob, then slightly shrieked when he tried to splash her with water. "Jerk."
He merely laughed and waded through the water until he was at the edge of the stream. He beckoned her to him. "C'mon, Quinn. Jump in."
"No way." She hopped onto a nearby rock and shook her head again, careful not to stand to close just in case he tried to grab her by the ankle and pull her in with him. "That water's like ice."
He scoffed. "No, it's not. It's perfect."
"Says you, Mr. 108.9 degrees!" she retorted, hands on her hips. His body temperature was so high that compared with the low one of the water, steam actually began to rise off him. "I jump in there and I'll become a human popsicle within seconds!"
"I wouldn't have brought you up here if that were the case." He walked through the water and up beside the rock she was standing on and beckoned to her again. "I'll keep you warm. But you have to get in first."
"This is a horrible idea, you know that?"
"Is not. It's a fun idea actually." He gestured to the wide open forest surrounding them. "No one's around, just you and me. Here I was thinking we could finally get some time to ourselves, you know relax before tomorrow?"
She pursed her lips together inwardly debating this. "But would it have killed you to give me a head's up? So I could bring an actual bathing suit?" She reluctantly plopped down on the rock she'd been standing on before she began removing her boots. "You can skinny dip all you want but I'm keeping my bra and underwear on."
"You're just going to ruin them." He pointed out.
"I don't care." She put her boots down next to his shorts and stood up again, "The last time I got naked in the forest, we were walked in on. Forgive me if I don't want a repeat."
He rolled his eyes. "I'll pay better attention to our surroundings this time. I'll give you the heads up if someone's even within a hundred feet of us, okay?"
"We are not doing anything more than going for a swim." She shimmied out of her skirt and then unbuttoned her cardigan.
"We'll see about that." He pushed himself out of the water and picked her up without warning, just as she had been folding her clothes into a neat pile.
She instantly latched onto him and swore when he brought her into the stream, the chill of the water sending goosebumps all over her body. "Has the fun started yet?" she said through gritted teeth, them almost on the verge of chattering.
"You'd warm up faster if you didn't have any clothes on." He smirked, turning her body around so that her chest was pressed up against his. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he hitched her legs around his waist before he brought them deeper into the water.
She curled into his body and once he felt her body relax, he smiled triumphantly. "Still cold?"
She shook her head, her cheek resting against his hot shoulder as she rubbed the back of his neck with her right hand. "No…feels nice. Really nice."
"See? Told you so." He leaned down and kissed the top of her shoulder. He then turned her back around but kept her just as close so that her back was pressed up against his chest. "Isn't this relaxing?"
She nodded, softly sighing when he nuzzled the crook of her neck, his lips briefly brushing against the skin. She shivered again, but this time around it was much more pleasant. "I love you, Jacob."
"Mmm, I love you too." He breathed in her scent and then playfully nipped at the sensitive skin below her ear. He dropped his arms from their place wrapped around her waist and slid them down to her hips where he moved her body around to face him. His lips captured hers almost instantly, making her moan.
His chest rumbled appreciatively as she reached up and threaded her fingers into his short hair, simultaneously deepening their kiss. He grasped her hips with more force, probably enough to bruise her, before scooping her up and bringing her legs back to wrap around him. Her back arched away from him as his lips left hers and began making their way down her neck and to her chest, where he all but devoured every inch of skin not covered by her bra. She cupped his face and quickly brought his lips back to hers in a searing kiss that made him shudder, then pin her against a partially submerged rock.
"You still against getting naked?" He breathed into her ear while his hands did things to her underneath the water that made it impossible for her to think properly, let alone speak.
It took her a few seconds, but she finally managed to shake her head in reply. "N-nope. I'm all yours."
She all but stumbled out of Jacob's bathroom, her legs shaking like jello as she made her way toward his bed. Since she was still riding the high off of her latest climax, a very pleased smile was plastered on her face. Jacob moved in front of her and quickly reorganized the bed before he sat down and pulled her with him. Somewhere along the line they'd made it back to his house where they (really, he) proceeded to dismantle his bedroom for the next couple of hours.
Her body instantly relaxed against his strong chest, the strength she once had in her muscles nearly completely gone. "Are you warm enough?" he asked, the hand that wasn't wrapped around her tugging the bed sheet up to cover their bodies.
"Practically boiling." she assured him breathlessly. "That was quite a workout you just put me through!"
"Several workouts." He corrected, a smug grin spreading out across his lips.
She used what energy she had left to laugh. "How could I forget! But next time warn me before you spring that decathlon on me! Remember, human Quinn doesn't have quite the stamina that angel Quinn did."
He laughed. "Could've fooled me." He leaned down and nibbled on her earlobe, making her entire body shiver. She turned her neck and kissed his lips. "Quinn?"
"Hmm?" Her head rested on his chest now, eyelids drooping with fatigue.
She felt his hand come up to her hair and begin to stroke the length of it in soothing motions. "You're happy with me, right?"
She opened her eyes and straightened up to meet his gaze, nearly chuckling at his silly question. "I'll always be happy with you, Jacob. I've been happy with you for the past sixteen years and I'll be even happier with you for the next sixty."
"Just when I think I can't love you more." he murmured before kissing her lovingly. When he pulled away, she watched with confusion as he reached underneath the bed. "I have something for you."
She waited patiently as he searched before coming back up with a small wooden box in his grasp. She settled herself on his lap as he opened the box away from her line of vision and quickly snatched something out of it. She arched his eyebrow at his secretiveness.
"It's nothing fancy, but uh…" He seemed to be doubting giving whatever it was in his hand to her. "I made it for you."
He opened up her palm and quickly placed the item in her grasp. She uncurled her hand and looked at it, her eyes instantly widening with awe. "Jacob….you made this?"
Her index finger traced the small wood carved wolf attached to a silver bracelet.
He nodded and took the bracelet from her in order to fasten it around her left wrist. "I made the wolf, but the bracelet was my mom's."
"You must really miss her." she observed quietly as his thumb brushed across the silver chain.
"Everyday." he muttered. "But there isn't anything I can do about it, so yeah….do you like it?"
Knowing better than to press him on the sensitive subject of his mother, she nodded her head and smiled. "I absolutely love it. No one's ever made me a gift before. When did you make this?"
Everything's been so hectic these past few weeks that she couldn't imagine when he would've had time to accomplish something so intricate as her wolf.
He swallowed hard before answering. "While you were…gone."
"Oh." Her smiled faded somewhat, as she knew how hard that particularly time had been on both of them. Thankfully that was all in the past.
He placed a tender kiss to her cheek, making her smile again. "Quinn?"
She met his gaze and nuzzled her nose against his. "Hmm?"
"Marry me?"
Her eyes widened before she gulped rather loudly. "Now?"
He shook his head, slightly chuckling. "No, not now. But sometime in the future? Marry me?"
"I thought that was a given, but yes." She kissed him passionately. "Sometime in the future, I will gladly marry you, Jacob Black."
He grinned broadly and suddenly flipped Quinn onto her back before straddling her legs. She instantly bolted upward, staring at him in disbelief. "Seriously, again?"
He silenced her with a consuming kiss, making her body melt back into the mattress beneath her. "Wait a second." She pushed at his chest with her hand. "What about your dad and Charlie? Shouldn't they be coming back from Old Quil's house soon?"
"If they know what's good for them, they'll stay far away from this house for another two to three hours."
"You're insane!" she exclaimed. "If that's the case I need to refuel first. Two to three hours, ta loco, two to three hours!"
He laughed loudly. "Okay, seriously you've been hanging around Santana for way too long."
Santana suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Someone say my name?"
She swore and quickly looked away after catching a glimpse of her friend's less-than-clothed appearances. "Jesus Christ, you two still aren't done?"
"Get out of here, Santana!" Quinn exclaimed, one hand holding onto the sheet against her chest while she used the other to throw Jacob's pillow at her.
"Fine, fine but first I gotta ask exactly how many times have you two sex addicts done it? Cause I've got a bet going with Clearwater and if I lose-"
"GET OUT, SANTANA!" Jacob and Quinn both shouted.
Santana scoffed at them both. "WELL JUST FOR THAT, I HOPE YOU TWO GIVE EACH OTHER THE CLAP!"
Even though he wasn't quite ready to wake up yet, he knew that sleeping in until the middle of the afternoon was not an option today. He rolled out of bed, once again not surprised that Quinn no longer occupied it, and threw on the first pair of clothes he saw. He didn't really care if they were clean or not since he wouldn't be spending a lot of time in them anyways.
He walked out of his bedroom and headed down the small hallway. In the living room, his dad and Charlie were chatting animatedly over some sports event.
"Morning."
"Morning, Jake." Charlie and his dad both answered, halting their conversation. "Breakfast is on the stove. Still hot. Quinn just made it."
He nodded and picked up the plate off the stove before bringing it over to the table. He sat down and immediately dug into his food. He was about to ask about where Quinn was but in that same moment he picked up on her voice coming from outside, along with Santana's.
He finished his breakfast within minutes and after topping it off with a gallon of milk, he put his plate in the sink and walked back out to the living room.
"Okay, I'm gonna get going now."
"Where you off to, Jake?" Charlie wondered, taking his eyes off the screen.
"Oh, just gonna go hang out with the guys." he replied with a nonchalant shrug. "Nothing major."
Charlie nodded and focused his attention back on the television while Billy rolled up to him and beckoned him aside.
"You sure you boys are ready?" his dad asked him once they were out of earshot.
He nodded. "Yeah, I think we are."
"Be careful out there, Jacob." his dad said seriously. "Don't underestimate the enemy."
"Don't plan on it. But those newborns won't know what hit them." He could only image the looks on their faces. He couldn't wait.
"Just take care of yourself, okay?" He could tell by the look in his father's eyes that he was beyond worried for him. "Come here, Jake."
He knelt down beside his chair and wrapped his arm around his dad. "I love you, son."
"I love you too, Dad." Billy patted him on the shoulder before he straightened up and walked out the front door.
He spotted Quinn and Santana talking by the garage, so he made his way over to them. Upon noticing him, Santana merely rolled her eyes, whereas Quinn all but jumped into his arms. She held onto him tighter than usual, but that was to be expected. He buried his face in the crook of her neck and deeply breathed in her scent.
"Don't tell me it's time already."
"I'll be back to you in no time." he assured as he set her back down on her feet.
He glanced over at Santana, who was slowly walking over to them. "You'll take care of her?"
She rolled her eyes. "If you ask me that one more time, Black-"
"Santana." Quinn threw her a warning look.
Santana exhaled deeply and nodded, her gaze back on him. "Yes. I'll take care of her. She'll be fine."
"Thanks." He looked back at Quinn and sighed. "Try not to worry too much, okay?"
"Can't guarantee that." She cupped his cheek and brought his face closer to hers. "Be safe, Jacob."
"I will." He captured her lips softly but the kiss quickly accelerated into something deeper. After a few moments he reluctantly pried his lips off of hers. He kissed the tip of her nose, then her forehead, and her mouth one last time before he turned around and disappeared into the forest.
He met up with pack out in the forest around Sam's house and once they were all gathered, they made their way over to clearing where the fight would take place. They ran in a V formation, Sam at the front with himself at his right, Paul at his left, followed by Jared, Leah, Quil and Embry. Everyone waited anxiously in the trees surrounding the clearing, hidden, as the Cullens stood around in the center. Almost everyone was pawing at the ground by the time they heard Alice relay her vision that it would only be a few minutes until the newborns came into the clearing.
The battle began for the Cullens first but they only had to wait a few more minutes before Sam gave them all the okay. They all dropped into ready crouches, snarls ripping from their muzzles.
NOW! The mental roar set the pack free and in an instant they were in motion, four limbs powering each muscular body to catch up with the burst out of the trees at top speed, completely taking the young vampires by surprise. Their eyes widened with horror and immediately they tried to run away, but with the pack and the Cullens combined, there was no escape.
The pack began ripping apart newborn after newborn before dismantling the pieces before they could put themselves back together. Everything was going great for them until they were all shaken by Seth's thoughts and what he was going on up on the mountaintop with Bella and Edward. The redhead had found them and she wasn't alone. Leah wanted desperately to go help Seth but Sam ordered her to stay with the rest of the pack.
His blood boiled with hatred for the redheaded leech so naturally he took it out on every newborn he could get his paws on.
It wasn't until Seth showed them all the image of her decapitated body, that he was able to fully focus on his task at hand. Since their numbers were so great, the fight didn't last very long, the newborn numbers decreasing rapidly by the second. While he was glad that they'd destroyed them all, he was frustrated that, that was it. It was over. Just when he just was starting to really enjoy it.
He sighed heavily, his heart still pumping furiously due to the adrenaline rush as he regrouped with the others. A few of the pack members had a few close calls but with the help of the Cullens, they were able to avoid any serious injuries.
We need to head out. Sam stated firmly once all the newborn scrapes were burned in the multiple fires they'd created.
He was about to ask what was the rush, but then Seth answered his question by recalling his conversation with Edward up on the mountaintop.
Something about the Volturi.
Figuring it was nothing he had to worry about, he followed the others back into the trees. Seth rejoined them shortly after, where they then stopped and began congratulating him on taking on a vampire all by himself. They were all in the midst of celebrating with Santana popped out of nowhere….with Quinn.
The pack growled for a second at the sudden intrusion but instantly relaxed when they realized who it was.
While he was more than happy to see Quinn, he couldn't help but dislike the fact that Santana had poofed her out here.
But then again, there was no real threat anymore…
"Told Q the fight was over and she insisted I bring her to you." Santana explained, as if able to read his mind. "So don't bite my head off, Scooby."
He shook his head and trotted up to Quinn, a happy whine escaping him.
She instantly wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face into his fur. He sniffed and nuzzled at her hair while the others continued their trek back towards La Push. "I'm so glad you're okay, Jacob." she whispered softly, lifting her head to meet his gaze.
He nuzzled her cheek with his nose, assuring her that he was. He then took a step back to phase but stopped when he heard it.
Screaming.
The entire pack froze at the sound of those screams - for they were not just anyone's screams. Those screams were coming from members of the Cullens. Horrified, he shared a quick look with Santana, who was equally as shocked, but who nodded her head understandingly when they made eye contact.
He didn't know what was happening, but he had to help them out. He lunged back into the trees at full speed, the pack following behind him.
"Jacob, wait!" Quinn's plea almost made him halt his actions but it was for her sake that he was doing this. They were her family. He couldn't let any harm come to them, not if he could stop it.
Without a second thought, Quinn pushed past Santana and her attempt to take her back to La Push before running after Jacob and the pack.
"Two minutes." Alice announced to the group, just as Edward and Bella finished making their way over to them. They stood in a staggered line as they awaited the Volturi.
"How many?" Jasper inquired from beside her.
"Alec, Jane, Felix, and Demetri." Edward answered, one hand wrapped around Bella's waist. "Not to mention the dozen flanking them."
"Why would they bring others?" Emmett frowned. "With Jane and Alec's powers alone they could've easily wiped out the newborns."
"We will just have to wait and find out why." Carlisle replied, moving forward to be in front, Esme a step behind him.
Everyone tensed as the Volturi's approach could be heard, slow and collected.
Jane stepped forward, mirroring Carlisle's position among her group as she surveyed the area. "Impressive. I've never seen a coven escape an assault of this magnitude intact."
"We were lucky." he answered.
"I doubt that."
"It appears we missed an entertaining fight." Alec spoke up.
"Yes. It's not often we're rendered unnecessary." Jane agreed.
"If you'd arrived half an hour ago you would've fulfilled your purpose." Edward retorted, his grasp on Bella tightening.
"Pity." She quirked an eyebrow, noticing Bella for the first time. "Why, Bella, you're still human."
Edward pushed Bella behind his body, his gaze darkening drastically at Jane's thoughts. "The date is set."
Jane clicked her tongue together, then shook her head. "You all should know that the Volturi doesn't give second chances."
"Jane." Felix warned from beside her, as if sensing her intentions. His voice dropped down to a whisper that even the Cullens had trouble hearing. "We must consult with Aro."
His gaze briefly flashed to Edward and Alice. He knew Aro would have their heads if they destroyed two of his most valuable prospects without his consent.
"Aro left me in charge, which means I make the decisions." She turned her attention back on the Cullens. "This coven is a threat, Felix. You know what we do with threats."
"So what, you came here to destroy us?" Rosalie snapped.
A slow, poisonous smile slowly crept across Jane's face. "Precisely."
Before any of the Cullens could even process making a move of attack, all of their senses were cut off by the hands of Alec. Everything vanished before their eyes. They couldn't see. Couldn't hear. Couldn't smell. Completely defenseless.
Bella,being the only one unaffected by Alec's powers, watched in horror as the members of the Volturi guard advanced on her now vulnerable family. Only Edward and Alice were able to somewhat defend themselves thanks to their gifts, but even then they were no match for their opponents.
Jasper managed to get a crunching blow to Demetri's face, fracturing the skin on his cheek, though he was completely unaware that Jane was calmly stepping toward him. Edward, who was fending off two guards of his own, tried to warn Jasper after reading Jane's thoughts, but by then it was already too late.
Alice screamed.
Rosalie screamed as well, but only because Jane was now inflicting her power on her. She staggered back two steps before dropping to her knees, the pain unbearable. Felix saw this and smirked. He dodged once of Emmett's blind attacks and hauled Rosalie up to her feet while Demetri delievered the fatal blow.
One by one they fell, despite their attempts to fight back with every once of strength that they posessed. Edward was the last one standing, fighting off Demetri and Felix by himself. Frenzied sobs came from Bella as she tried to lunge forward, to help him like she had done earlier when he'd been double teamed by Victoria and Riley.
A female guard caught her in her grasp though, leaving her thrashing to free herself from the vampire's embrace. Jane stalked toward Edward, much like she had done with Jasper and Rosalie, and within seconds Edward's fighting faltered. His mind was too lost in the pain she was inflicting on him to focus on his opponents.
Maniacal laughter rang throughout Bella's ears as Felix and Demetri finished Edward off. Bile built up in her throat as the two Volturi guards began throwing what was left of him into the fire before her. Once they finished, Felix looked to Jane expectantly, his gaze briefly flashing to meet Bella's.
She understood what was going to happen next. She stopped fighting the female vampire's hold and accepted her fate. At least now, she would be reunited with Edward.
"Okay, Felix. You can kill her now."
The last thing Bella saw was the red of Jane's eyes before Felix snapped her neck.
Jane and Alec stood and watched, satisfied smirks on their face, as the others threw the remainders of the Cullen coven into the fire and let them burn.
"Aro will be very unpleased with you, Jane." Felix stated as he made his way over to them, Demetri following. Although he enjoyed destroying the Cullen coven immensly, he feared the wrath of Aro.
"You and I both know Edward and Alice would have never joined the Volturi, regardless of whether or not their family was alive. Aro's cause was lost. He would've killed the lot of them eventually anyways."
"Sister, look." Jane followed her brother's astounded gaze to across the clearing. Her eyebrows lifted in surprise.
"Werewolves? But that's impossible!" Felix exclaimed, eyes wide. "It's not the Full moon-"
"If that's so then they're obviously not werewolves, Felix." Demetri interrupted with a roll of his eyes.
Jane cocked her head to the side, intrigued - completely unbothered at the fact that the giant wolves were running full speed at them. "I've always wanted a pet dog." she mused quietly before scoffing, "….Not."
Alec looked to her, his lips already curling into a malicious smile. "What do you suggest we do, sister?"
"What we do best, of course."
AN: Yes. I really just did that. What can I say? The latest BD film inspired me. If you hate me now, you'll probably hate me even more the next chapter, especially if you love the pack...but remember, I never said all this was permanent...Keep that in mind! So you all will have to wait and see how the rest of the story plays out...
Review please!
