Wolf & Vampire

Whatever that dog was doing inside, it was taking too long. I could hear the harsh sniffing coming from it, and I knew that it could smell me. I didn't want to be in the same room with it, the dog smells too much like mud, and dirt, a vile scent that could trigger my vampire's instinct into fighting it.

"That vampire is back." I heard it said, and I couldn't help but growled at it under my breath.

"Alice is back?" Bella asked, her voice filled with happiness, and I could hear her heart beat up. Then I heard footsteps, and the door to the kitchen was swung open. My golden eyes snapped up at the beautiful, yet fragile face of Bella, as her eyes twinkled at the sight of me, well I hope that they were.

"You came back." She said, her voice was full of happiness that I could have sworn to drown in it. I giggled, before answering.

"Of course. I did say I would come back, didn't I?" I responded before moving slowly towards her. I halted however, when her happy face scrunched up into a slight frown.

"Why didn't you come in?" She asked. Before I could answer, the dog appeared behind her, which caused me to growl at it.

"That's why." I hissed through my teeth while realization beginning to dawn on her. She turned to look back at the dog, whom was crouching down in an attack position. Her eyes widened and her mouth fell.

"Jake! What are you doing? That's Alice!" I heard her said, but it was a little faint since my attention was on the dog. I was also preparing myself if it decided to strike.

"Leech." It hissed at me, and I snapped my teeth at it.

"Filthy mutt." I retorted.

It growled at me furiously, and when it was about to strike, Bella flung herself in between us. What was she doing? She was putting herself in danger. I could control my temper, but the dog could not.

"Jake stop!" She yelled at it, before she turned to me with the frown deepening. "You too, Alice." Her voice was softer towards me, so I reluctantly straightened up, but my eyes never leaving the mutt.

"Fine." It grunted and straightened itself. It turned to look at Bella, but I knew that it was finding hard to not keep his eyes on me. "Have you told her about the other vampire?"

"Oh." Bella muttered under her breath. Other vampire? What exactly were they talking about? She turned to me, and I knew that she was thinking how to tell me this…whatever it was. I couldn't see, and I was getting slightly annoyed. I wasn't used to being blind.

"You haven't told her?" The mutt asked, rather surprise. And before Bella could even say a word, he quickly turned to me before speaking, every word that had left his mouth was like poison. "Your leftover is back, and she was hunting for Bella. Since that you're back, we can only protect Bella from our land. So you better keep Bella safe."

Leftover? Victoria! How could Edward be so blind to leave Bella behind? Then again, I shouldn't really blame him, since I didn't even think about this at all. A growl rippled from my chest, and I turned to look at Bella apologetically. She caught my look, and quickly shook her head like it was alright. Everything wasn't going to be alright, especially when I knew that the family had left Bella here, unprotected. If it wasn't for the wolves, then she would have been dead, for real.

"Alright, I'm leaving. I can't stand the smell of the leech." The dog said in a harsh tone, and my attention was snapped back towards it once more. My hands were clenching, to the point that I could hear the faint cracking of sound coming from them.

"Then what are you still doing here?" I asked, once again, through my clenched teeth. I heard Bella sighed, and she turned to look at the mutt with pure annoyance.

"Jake, why can't you be nice?" She asked. The dog snorted and waved his hand in a disgustingly manner at me.

"She's a vampire. I'm a werewolf. Enough said." That was a very stupid logic.

"Jake, that can't be the reason. Alice is a nice person once you get to know her." Bella urged, and I could hear the pleading tone in her voice.

"Maybe." The dog said, before it wrinkled its nose. "After I could get use to her disgustingly sweet scent."

Bella sighed, and shook her head. "Fine, then go. I'll see you soon."

The dog snorted, before chuckling. "Yea, after the vampire is gone, once again."

I growled at it, and it glared at me before turning to leave. Bella sighed and watched it go. When the dog was out of sight, she turned to me with a frown. However, I could see the look in her eyes. She was afraid that whatever the dog had just said would actually come true. My vision soon came back to me, and it hit me at full force. My eyes widened, before I snapped out of my daze.

"Bella, I'm not going to leave you. Ever." I quickly said. She still didn't look convince by my words. I couldn't blame her, I did leave her once after all, and I was capable of doing it again. I moved closer to her, and pulled her into a gentle hug, careful of my strength so that I wouldn't crush her.

"Bella, I promise, I'm not going to leave you. I won't leave you, unless you want me to go." I murmured softly, while inhaling her scent. Her scent intoxicated me, and I found myself wanting more and more. I felt her arms wrapped around me, I knew that she was putting pressure into it, since I know that it was just like her hugging a stone cold statue. She buried her head against my shoulder, and I could hear her silent sobs.

"I don't want you to leave. I just…I don't know. When you left. When he left, I thought that I was already dead inside. But then you came back, you have no idea how happy I was just to see you standing there." She paused, pulling away from me which I allowed her to do so. She took a deep breath, her eyes were closed, before they reopened and she looked down at me with pained expression. It was hard for her that we all left just like that. Creating a hole that Bella was falling in, faster than a comet star.

"Jake was healing me, slowly, but I know that I can't get over him."

Edward, can't you see that she's madly in love with you? I silently thought to myself, and suppressed a sigh.

"But, I've missed you more than Edward." She continued, and I looked at her with a rather confused expression. Well, I didn't want to say anything, when I knew what was going to happen next. Her hand lifted, and I welcomed the softness and warmth of her hand on my cheek.

"I don't know why, but you're the only one that I've been thinking about. Maybe you're my best friend and I just can't afford to lose you. You've been there for me, more than Edward ever had, and you understand me, perhaps more than Edward ever could." She sighed then and pulled her hand away. I already missed her touch.

"Bella…" I started, but nothing came out of my mouth. I sighed, before taking her hand in mine. "Edward can't read you. If he could, he would understand you more."

She looked at me, smiling as she shook her head. I had never seen her this fragile, and heartbroken. My unbeatable heart ached at the sight, and all I wanted to do was to show her how much she deserved to be loved. "Even if he could read me, I'd doubt that he'd understand. Besides, you can see the future, right? You can only see my decisions, and not what I'm thinking, yet you understand me more than him. Sometimes I wish that I could have fallen for you, rather than Edward."

I fought hard to keep my mouth from falling. I did not see that coming. Bella blinked, before her eyes widened. She must had realized what she had just said.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I know that you're with Jasper and all but I was just using that as an example." While she rambled on, I couldn't help but giggle at that. She stopped, and gave me a funny look. "What?"

"You're too adorable while you ramble." I responded, still giggling. She rolled her eyes before tugging at my hand.

"Let's go inside."

I nodded and let her lead me in, or rather follow her in. She paused at the door however, and turned to look at me. Well, I could see why she stopped, I could see what she was about to ask after all.

"You want me to spend the night?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. She blushed, and I couldn't help but giggle again.

"Actually, I was hoping that you would stay here for…I don't know…forever?" The pink shade deepened, and I blinked before smiling.

"If that's what you want, then sure. But, you do know that I have a house, right?"

"I do….But…" She trailed off. I giggled again at her before moving close to her. I lifted myself up on the tip of my toes and chastely kissed her cheek.

"Alright, just wait inside. I'm going to quickly get my clothes and I'll come back. Don't go anywhere while I'm gone, and, try not to hurt yourself alright?" I concentrated, looking through her future before smiling approvingly. "You won't hurt yourself, at least, not yet."

She grunted then, and I laughed at that before she gently pushed me. "Hurry up and get your clothes."

I laughed once again. She rolled her eyes and turned to enter the house. When I saw that she was safely inside, I quickly took off into the woods and towards the house. All the while, I couldn't help but smiling. Bella did say that she wished that she had fallen for me, instead of Edward. It was a sign after all.
