Molly broke down into hysterics. She knew exactly where Jacob was. He went back, back to their land. He'd be instantly killed there; just what he probably thought was the best. Jake was frustrating and impulsive, but he wasn't stupid. He knew right well what he was doing. A life in which you killed your best friend and betrayed your lover wasn't worth living.

"Oh." Sobbed Molly. "He went up north. To the others. He had to of. That's where he's going, I know it. You have to do something." She rambled on and on.

"Shh. Molly it's okay. We'll leave right now. Jake is essential to our pack and to our family, we need him just as you do. We'll bring him back. "Sam gently sighed into Molly's ear as he gave her a firm hug. He made sure not to inhale too much of the leech scent.

Sam turned attentively back to the pack. "You, cover my left, you my right." He nodded towards Embry. "You'll take up the back."

"What about me?" Molly cried. "I can help. I can fight. I'm fast and smart. I want to help."

Sam ignored her. "Seth, you'll stay here and look after Molly. Molly, we can't afford to take you along. It's not about dogs and leeches, werewolves and vampires, or Blacks' and Cullens' anymore. This is a wolf on wolf fight. We have to earn the territory and the rights to our pack member back." He turned away from her sternly once more.

The whole pack disappeared into the woods, just as they had come. All of them moved swift and carefully, all except for Seth who remained behind with Molly.

The hole in Molly's heart felt enormous. It wasn't a just a hole anymore, it was a pit. She fell to her knees as she heard a brusque howl emit from the darkness. Seth sat down beside Molly on the ground, not quite sure what to do.

Molly dried her eyes and looked up at the teen boy. He was much younger than the other wolves, especially Sam. She saw friendliness in his eyes. "Why did they leave you behind?" she sniffed, trying to get her mind off of things.

"Easy, I'm the amateur." He sighed.

"That stinks. I'd bet you would be the kind to crave this kind of stuff."

"Not really. I've never experienced wolf on wolf combat. I think it's too much for me right now. I'll stick to the bloodsuck- oh, right."

"It's okay."

"I just don't see you as one of them. You're kind and warm. Jake imprinted on you. You can't be all that bad. You don't even smell all that horrible."

The name Jake stung, but she let her lighter side of displacement show through. "I've been hanging around dogs too much, that's why."

Jacob ran as fast as his feet could carry him. He couldn't stomach what he'd done. What a stupid mistake. What made it worse was he was just trying to do something good. Good guys always did finish last apparently. At this point though, life would just be better this way. Bella- dead. Molly, well she can't imprint so she could move on. Life dealing with mistakes wasn't worth it. He knew he was headed for straight death, but that at least would be justice.

The cold snow beneath his paws froze him. He was far enough away at this point; it'd be hard for the pack to catch up. It was just the way he wanted it. The fresh new snow was falling, covering up his freshly laid tracks. The rage inside him at himself just pushed him to go faster and further. He would not be that burden upon Molly's life. Each bound took him closer and closer, and hopefully in an hour he'd arrive and wait.

I know I've been horrible about updating. I'm really sorry. I blame it on college adjustment. And also the facts I'm working on 3 fanfics and a book and school all at the same time! Let me know what you think. This chapter is more of a bridge chapter, not a lot of action. Just a filler until I can give you guys something really great. Thanks for reading as always and check back soon for another update! Love, the author- Net.
