Cheers, happy reading, happier reviews


God damn Sam!

His advice was all i could think about as i phased back to human form outside the Cullen's house.

"Jacob, this will strictly be a business meeting. Do not drag Bella or any prejudices you may have into it. Just find out why they are back, and if there is any danger" He instructed

Trust him to transform back into Alpha mode once things started to get interesting around here. Sometimes i wondered why he even gave up the job.

As i started to climb the stairs the front door opened, and Rosalie stood there glaring at me.

"What do you want Mutt?" she sneered

"Welcome back to you to. Where's Carlisle?" I asked.

"Right here" He said, appearing behind her. "Rosalie, be polite to our guests" he chided her softly.

"Hey Jacob, Come on in, we'll go to my study" While we made our way he made easy small talk.

"I imagine you are here to find out why we have returned?" He asked when we entered, making his way to his chair, motioning to the one in front of him for me to sit.

"Yeah,"

Wow, this being 'polite' wasn't that hard. But i suppose it is hard to be rude to someone when your so grateful because they fixed half of your body after being crushed by a newborn.

"Please, sit down and make yourself comfortable. Before we begin, I just want to say that we are not here to cause unwanted tension."

"Right" I nodded, taking a deep breath "So, would you mind telling me why you are?" Oops, slightly rude, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Well, we don't want to raise any alarms but Alice has foreseen a few new vampires coming to the area."

Just as he finished this sentence, here was a knock at the door.

Knock. Knock.

"Come in Alice" He called, smiling slightly.

She sauntered into the room, taking her seat next to me, and jumped into the conversation as if she had been there the whole time.

My mind was reeling. More Leeches?

"So, why are they coming? Are they dangerous? Do they follow the same, erhm, 'Dietary needs' as you?" I couldn't stop blurting the questions out, not even giving them time to answer.

"As far as i can see, they are not dangerous. But i can't tell if they are vegetarians or not" Alice replied, a frown forming in between her delicate eyebrows.

"And, they're coming because the female believes that she is related to me" She said, uncertain of the last part.

"So, just to make sure i get what your talking about. The female is a distant relation, they are not dangerous, but you can't be sure, seeing as we don't know if they feed off humans or animals?" i stated uneasily.

Bella had already explained to me that Alice didn't know who her creator was, they just left her to deal with it herself. It was believed that James, a Nomad they had killed was her creator, but they killed him before they had the chance to find out. And she had no recollection of her human days at all.

"Correct" she sang, smiling as if it was a normal occurrence.

"Jacob, if anything gets out of hand, Emmet, Jasper, Alice, Esme, Rosalie and I will make sure to let the pack know. But please, pass on this information to Sam, so that he can let the pack know that there will be new scents around, and we would be grateful for the pack not to attack immediately."

"Oh yeah , Uh, i probably should let you know that I took position of Alpha. So if anything goes wrong, i guess it will be me that you have to co-ordinate with" i answered offhandedly. Why didn't he mention the other leech, Edward.

"Carlisle, Where's Edward? You didn't say he would be in your group"

As soon as the words left my mouth i knew something was wrong. Alice let out a strangled sob, and pain quickly flickered across Carlisle' face before he masked it.

"Edward" he said, almost a whisper "Is no longer with us. He decided when we left, to join the Volturi" He finished in a whisper.

"Oh" Was the only genius remark i could conjure. I stared at the floor, trying to figure out they're reactions.

I knew who the Volturi were of course. Before we had become 'friends' Alice had explained, they're the reason they smell so bad to wolves, the reason we fear them. They were like royalty in the leech world. But then wouldn't that be a good thing? Nope, i suddenly remembered a conversation i had with Bella just after they left.

**

"Jake, i have to warn you about something" She said, worried.

"Bells, what is it?"

She shuddered, her face crumbling, frown forming. I could never stand to see her like this, so i pulled her onto my lap, and gently rubbed her back.

"Jake" her voice a whisper "Remember how you's had to leave the clearing early? Because the Volturi were coming?"

"Yeah, they don't like alliances with werewolves. Bella, honey, what is it? What's wrong?"

It took her a while to answer, but when she did, i felt my blood drain from my face.

"They believe that i know too much about them. If i don't get turned, they will kill me"

I couldn't even imagine my life without her. These leeches will never get their cold hands, or fangs, on her.

"Bella, I will never ever let anything happen to you. I swear, I can't even picture life without you by my side. You tripping over, me catching you. You cooking food, me eating. Riding our bikes. I want to grow old with you, and I want to raise our children, sitting in a rocking chair by your side. Ill do everything I can to protect you. I mean it, anything."

"Jake" She sighed.

"I love you"
"Love you too honey. Probably too much"

I kissed the top of her head, and continued to rub her back until Charlie came home.

"Wait" I said, too loudly "Edward joined the coven that wants Bella dead?"

I was starting to feel sick. What the hell was he thinking?

"Jacob, its not like that! He said it's to stop them if they ever try to. Please try to understand, he's there to protect her!" Alice pleaded. I looked up at her ready to snap, but the pain she was going through affected me.

Oh god, I'm going soft for a vampire. What is wrong with me? I thought.

"Ok, ok," I sighed, defeated. "I'm not going to try to understand, but i see how its affecting you, and I'm not going to make it any worse."

She smiled her thank you. To me, it showed it was time for me to leave. As i got up, she grabbed my hand.

"Jacob, I know you don't like us, and I know its a big ask, but could you please bring Bella by sometime? Although her life has, changed courses," She shifted uncomfortable in her chair "she's still my sister, and i really miss her. Please?"

Oh my god, She was using puppy dog eyes. On me. A Dog. Was she serious?

"Uh yeah sure, I'm sure she would love to see you too" I smiled down at her.

Once I said this, she jumped up and hugged me. Her stone arms wrapped tightly around my waist.

How can someone so small be so strong? I thought

"Thank you !" she squealed, running out of the room.

Hm, maybe it won't be so hard to bring Bella here to hang out with the little pixie. She's oddly not too bad.

I turned to Carlisle, holding my hand out for him to shake.

"Thanks Carlisle. It means a lot that you's are still there to look after Bella, no matter if she is with Edward or not" I said

"Jacob. No matter who Bella is with, she is in our family now, and Cullens will do anything to ensure that our family is safe" He smiled warmly at me.

"Oh, and Jacob, Good luck at being Alpha, I know it was not your first choice to do so."

I thanked him once more, let myself out, and made my way home, ready to warn the pack of our coming friends.
