Best Friend vs Best Friend
There was so many things that I haven't done yet. All of those things revolved around Bella. I hadn't shown her how much I love her. I hadn't shown her that I would do anything for her. I hadn't provided her any happiness yet. There were just so much I wanted to do for her, but since my life was about to end, I guess there would never be that chance anymore. It wasn't like I would reincarnate as another person to grant Bella the happiness that she deserved. Being a vampire was like my second life, there was no such thing as a third life. Besides, I was technically dead, so in a way I was a walking corpse waiting for someone to end it with fire.
Jacob's snarl was getting louder and louder, and I could even feel his heavy breath blasting against my cold cheeks. His breath, and his scent, it was horrible. I needed to get out of this foul scent. My eyes refocused and I could feel it changing to its dangerous, murderous opal color. I snapped them up at Jacob, my body shifted as his big jaw clamped down over my shoulder. I let out a cry of pain, before I grabbed onto one of his front leg and bit down against it hard, releasing my venom into his flesh. He let go of my shoulder and let out a painful howl. I took this chance to pull my teeth back from his horrible flesh, and tossed him aside. I started panting heavily, my shoulder was throbbing that it hurt to move it. I was in a lot of pain, and I knew that Jasper could feel the pain radiating through me. There was one thing in my mind at this moment; kill the mutt.
Jacob stood up on his paws quickly, but I could tell that he was having problem walking on all fours. Well, of course, the venom must have stung him. I smirked at what I had done to him, and the smirk turned into a full blown snarl. He was snarling back and me, and in less than a second he lunged at me once more. Before I could get my teeth in him again, he was being tackled down by someone else. My head quickly snapped to the form that had lunged towards Bella, while the pack let out furious snarls. Bella had tackled Jacob down, and Jacob was struggling against her grasp. I couldn't believe it, she was fighting Jacob, her best friend because of me. I didn't want it to turn out like this.

Alice. She was in danger. Jacob was going to kill her. All because she had changed me. But Jacob was my best friend. He was only attacking her because she had changed me. But Alice had saved my life from the Volturi, because I knew that we wouldn't be able to get out of there alive. Why was I standing here, watching Jacob hurl at Alice with unblinking eyes? Why was Jacob reacting this way? Didn't he see that Alice was everything to me? I felt the anger building up inside me, and before I could even calm myself enough to think coherent thoughts, I found myself on top of Jacob, forcefully pinning him down while he struggled beneath me.
"Jake!" I snarled at him, my hands tightening around the two front legs. He let out an anger growl, and successfully kicked me off of him using his behind.
Before I could collide against the ground, I flipped in the air and landed on my feet with a soft thud. My head snapped up, my blackened eyes glaring straight at his wolf form. He was trembling now, and he was holding back his growl. I knew that he was trying to calm himself down, but I didn't care. He hurt Alice. I could smell her blood in the air, even though I knew that it was the blood that was storing in her body to help her function properly as a vampire. I let out an angry snarl, and moved towards him in a flash. He thought that I was going headfirst, but I wasn't. When he clawed the thin air, I was already at his side, slamming my fist into him.
He let out a howl of pain as he staggered to the side, before his body crashed into the ground. I was sure that I had broken some bones, but it didn't matter. He had to pay for hurting Alice. Right now, he had to die for hurting Alice. Before I could move forward, Sam appeared in front of me with a warning growl. Really, if he thought that he could hold me back, he was wrong. I snarled at him, my venom was leaking out of my snarl. He snarled, and charged at me. I wouldn't have any of that now, would I? Already he was in front of my face. His large jaw was trying to snap down at me, and once again I didn't want his stinky mouth to be on me. Using my newborn speed, I dodged his attack with a little ease, and pounced on his back.
Sam landed on all fours, while his head was snapping wildly as he tried to get a hold of me. I held onto his back, my legs clamped around his torso to give me balance. His head was snapping wildly, it looked like it would be hard to get a hold of him. I studied his movement for a while, until I knew when to strike. When his head was snapping right, my hands instantly reached out and grabbed it, holding it in place. He was struggling against my grasp since I was trying to twist his head, trying to snap it and end his life. Actually, I wouldn't really be trying since I knew that I had more strength that he had. At this moment I couldn't make out any sound around me, when my main focus was ending Sam's life.
Then someone grabbed me, with their jaw, and tore me off of Sam before tossing me on the ground. My body hit the ground with a thunderous thud, and soon enough I was back on my feet with a furious snarl. Jacob had tossed me off of Sam's back, and he was growling at me in what seemed to be a pleading growl. His body was hunched forward, and his face was twisting in pain at each time that he breathed in. All of this expression should make me calm, but it didn't. Jacob was my best friend, yet I couldn't shake the thought of killing him away from me. I snarled at him, and beginning to move forward when a pair of arms grabbed me. Judging by the smell, it wasn't a werewolf. But I needed to get over there, and end this; end his pathetic dog life.

I watched as Bella being kicked away from Jacob. I watched as Bella slammed her fist against Jacob's side, making several sickening snaps of bones. I watched as Jacob howled in pain before his body hit the ground. I watched as Sam moved in, and charging at Bella. I watched as Bella disappeared out of Sam's sight, and reappeared on his back thanked to her newborn speed. I watched as Sam struggled beneath her, and I watched as Bella tried to snap Sam's head. All the while I watched, my eyes got widened by the second if that was even possible. Our whole family just stood there, watching as Bella dealt with the wolves. We all watched, with horror painted on our faces. We all watched with loud gasps. This wasn't the Bella at the moment. This was the monster, it had taken control. I needed to stop this.
I decided to move forward, but then paused only when Jacob grabbed a hold of Bella and tossed her to the ground, far away from him and Sam. I could see Sam was panting heavily, and Jacob held a very pained expression. His body was trembling, and his growl came out as a pleading. My attention snapped back to Bella, and she had already jumped on her feet. Before she started to move, I swiftly went over and wrapped my arms around her waist, I knew that this wouldn't stop her, but I had to try.
"Bella, please stop. It's enough. This is enough!" I said, loud enough for the pack to hear, and loud enough to reach the Bella that the monster had consumed.
She growled, and snapped her head down at me. My now golden eyes locked into her furious opal ones. And I shivered at the effect that it was getting to me. I shivered out of fear, because I wasn't used to having Bella glaring down at me like that. The Bella that I had fallen in love with would never give me this look. Never.
I didn't let my eyes stray away from hers, and so did she. Her growl kept coming out, until it stopped. Her eyes softened when she realized that she was glaring at me. She closed her eyes, taking in the unnecessary breath to calm herself down, then reopened them with the look of guilt in them, full on guilt. I smiled up at her, only to reassure her that everything was fine, and that she shouldn't feel guilt. She shook her head and quickly enveloped me in a tight embrace. Her body was trembling as dry sobs escaped her lips.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Please forgive me. I'm sorry." She drabbled on her apologies, and I sighed. I pulled away from her, well tried my best to pull away from her since her hold was strong. I cupped her face in both of my hands, and lifted her face up so she could see me. The unshed tears were shimmering in her eyes. It broke my heart when I see her like this.
"Shh, Bella, don't apologize. You have nothing to apologize about. You react on instincts, I know that you would never hurt anybody. No more apologies coming from you, ok?" I looked into her eyes, searching for any answer that would tell me that she'd agree.
She just continued to sob, but the sob died down and turned into a sniffle. She inhaled softly, and nodded her head. I smiled up at her, and leant up on the tip of my toes to kiss her full on the lips. I soon pulled away, not after I quickly kissed her softly on her nose. She smiled, though it looked weak. Her eyes drifted back towards the pack, and I could see that the wolves tensed up. Bella was like a monster to them, so showing their fear was understandable.
"Jake…I'm sorry…" Bella murmured as she slowly moved forward. Jake let out a whimper, and tried to walk forward but stopped, his face conjuring up in pain.
In a flash, Bella was in front of him, cradling his head against her body. I watched, we all watched, as Bella murmured several apologies against his furry head. Jacob could only whimper, and nudging his head gently against Bella as if telling her that it wasn't her fault. We decided that they needed a moment, so the pack moved back into the woods, and I guessed that they were going back to the Reservation. The family and I went back inside, leaving Bella and Jacob outside. Of course, Jacob was allowed to come in to rest. Our family wouldn't hold a grudge, and Esme and Carlisle would be more than to welcome him inside. My shoulder still throbbed horribly, but it was going to go away soon, as soon as I decide to go on a hunt. Right now I didn't want to, I wanted to wait to see if Bella was alright, until I go off to hunt.
A/N: What's good of a cliff hanger when half of you know exactly who is going to jump in and save Alice? D;
I can't surprise you guys now can I? Oh well, at least I got you on the edge and told me how evil I am. -Cackles-
I enjoyed writing this chapter. Maybe because Bella went nut. Lol.
Thank you for all of your reviews. =]
