A Warning In Advance

They wouldn't leave Bella alone. She had no choice but to become one of us because she feared that the Volturi would kill us off. These wolves had no hearts in the matter. All they cared about was their treaty. There wasn't even a treaty in the first place. They had screwed it up once as well. Edward had seen it in the previous Alpha's mind. And of course his words didn't go silent for our vampire ears to hear. Sam had hurt a human as well, so why wasn't he getting punished for that? Why did we have to pay for something that we never meant it to happen? The werewolves weren't being fair on their part, and this was why I didn't like the sound of them killing Bella off, or any member of the family for that matter.

"Did Billy tell you?" I asked, my tone was cold, couldn't blame me, I didn't like that man one bit, when he started saying that Bella didn't know what she wanted.

Jacob shook his head. "No, when the pack were racing back to the Reservation, I heard them saying they won't leave Bella alone. But they won't attack if I'm here." He looked down, as if debating whether he should be here just a little more, or not.

"You don't have to stay here if you don't want. We won't force you to do it." I said softly, which surprised me, I never really been a soft spoken vampire towards a werewolf.

"But Bella…" He whispered, and I saw that he was trembling. Poor boy, I knew that he had feelings for Bella, yet I never thought how much those feelings had grew.

"We'll protect her. She's in good hands." I said reassuringly. It was true, Jasper and Emmett were the best fighters in the family. Emmett was the second, judging by his brute strength. Jasper was the first, since he used to be a Major, and led the newborn army and all that jazz. Besides, this would include Bella's newborn strength and agility as well. But I don't want to see that monster side of her again, to say that it scare me was understandable.

Jacob let out a chuckle. My eyes narrowed at him. "You barely be able to protect yourself against me earlier." He spoke, his tone seemed to be full of amusement.

"Oh yeah? Who got who limping?" I asked, snorting slightly as I folded my arms.

"You've got in a good hit." He stated, his lips tugging up into a smirk, revealing his white teeth. How I wanted to wash that smirk off of him with a kick to the groin.

"Not really, you were just slow." I replied back, smirking as I did so. He let out a growl, but he didn't look like he was about to phase.

"I could of have killed you." He spat. Now he was getting a little grouchy.

"Try, and I'll make sure to put you on your leash." I snarled, the smirk had soon being washed off from my porcelain face.

"Bite me." He growled, his body trembling with the anger. Not to mention, with the scent of me washing over him, it was sure to trigger the wolf inside him.

"Tempting, but you taste like dirt the last time I got my teeth sank into you." I snarled, dropping my position into a crouch just to ready myself if he decided to pounce.

By this time the family had came out, and they were standing beside me. Bella came up to me, and try as she might, she couldn't make me go behind her. I wasn't even sure whether the dog was joking or not, but I couldn't let my guard down.

"Jake, what's the meaning of this?" Bella asked, or more like scolded, as she whipped her head towards Jacob.

Jacob shrugged as if nothing had happened. "Nothing, we were just discussing." He said, though there was a hint of a growl. His body didn't seem to stop shaking.

"You two growling and snarling didn't make it sound like it's nothing." Bella stated firmly, her eyes were still on Jacob, though they hardened a little to make her point.

I sighed and touched her arm gently. She turned to look at me, her eyes quickly softened. "We were just discussing."

"But you two were growling and snarling." She quickly said before whipping her head back at Jacob once again. "And you looked like you were going to phase and attack her again." Her tone was cold, and I sighed.

"Bella, we got off at the wrong foot." I tried to explain, but it seemed like she was more busy glaring at Jacob than paying attention to me. "Bella…"

She sighed before turning her attention to me. Then her eyes trailed down to the shoulder Jacob had bitten. Her hand reached over it, and touched that spot that Jacob's jaw had once clamped down on my marble skin. The injury had healed, but only leaving the after effect of the pain, but it wasn't much.

"I can't see you hurt anymore." She softly murmured as her hand lifted from my shoulder to touch my face. Instinctively, I leaned into the touch and sighed contently.

"Right now, we should be worrying about you." I answered, and she chuckled as if she had heard something silly coming from me.

"I can take care of myself." She said with a little bit of proudness in her tone. I sighed, it was true, she didn't need us to protect her anymore now when she had become a vampire, and a newborn one at that.

"I know, but I'm not sure if I want to see you get hurt." I sighed, casting my eyes down on the ground. She cupped my cheek and lifted my face upward so that our eyes connected.

"I won't get hurt." She stated firmly.

"You don't—"

"I promise." She cut me off. Well, how could I argue with that? However, Edward let out a low growl and our heads immediately looked back at him.

"We need to start packing." He said. Everyone looked confused, apart from me and Jacob.

"Why?" Rosalie asked, annoyed evident in her tone.

"Because as soon as Jacob leaves, the wolves will attack us again." Edward answered Rosalie's answer without missing a beat.

"Jacob is well enough to leave at this moment." Carlisle said as he looked back at Jacob.

"I won't leave until I know that Bella is safe, away from Forks." Jacob grunted at the last bit. I knew that he didn't want Bella to leave Forks, but there wasn't much that he could do.

Esme, being the motherly figure, understood very well about Jacob's feelings towards Bella. She stepped forward, while everyone watched as she approached Jacob. As if the heating of Jacob's skin or the stank radiating from him had no effect on her, she reached out and grabbed a hold on his hand. Edward scoffed as he turned away. It looked like he knew what she was about to say.

"Jacob, if you don't want to leave Bella, you are welcome to stay with us. Then again, you are welcome to visit her whenever you like." Her soft voice flown towards him, and he faltered slightly. I bet he didn't see that coming. I didn't see that coming, but I didn't need to see into the future when I knew what she was going to ask him.

"Umm…Thank you for the offer, but I'll just talk to her on the phone…or something." Jacob answered, unsure of himself. Bella chuckled.

"Something would be what, Jacob?" She asked, seemingly amused of what he was going to say.

"Jeez, I don't know." Jacob groaned out in a little annoyance.

"Aww, come on. Can't you amuse me anymore?" Bella asked, or rather pressed on.

"Bella…" He groaned once again, then frowned. "Do you want to eat mud?"

"Mud?" She repeated the question. She seemed to be thinking about it, then smirked. "I know that we used to make mud pies when we were little, but I've never thought that you could actually eat one." She mused, gaining herself laughter from the whole family.

"I haven't eaten one." Jacob quickly said, defending himself.

"Are you sure?" Bella asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes!" He answered, rather desperately.

"Then how come all I can smell is mud and earth on you?" She asked, and I could tell that she could barely hold the laughter in.

"You are unbelievable!" Jacob shouted out, throwing his arms in the air, successfully pulled his hand back from Esme's grip. Then he stormed off, towards the house, and that was when Bella burst out in laughter.

"That was so mean Bella." I frowned, but I knew that I couldn't hide the smirk that was on my face.

"What? You enjoyed it as much as I did at that look of defeat in his face." Bella responded.

"But that wasn't nice." Esme softly spoke, though amusement clearly showing in her tone.

"Serve the dog right." Rosalie scoffed, but of course she was smiling as well.

"I made everyone happy." Bella beamed, and everyone laughed once more.

Emmett then came up to Bella, and Bella immediately stopped beaming. She stared at him, cautiously, and preparing herself from any soon to come attack or jokes from him. Emmett grinned widely, and she stepped back. I saw Edward rolled his eyes so I didn't step in. I wanted to see this for myself. Then, too quick for Bella to even dodge him, Emmett scooped her up into his arms and spun her around, ten times faster than anything that I've ever seen him do. I could barely make out what Bella was shouting.

"Put me down!" She cried, and I heard the soft pounding of fists against his back, along with his booming laughter.

"Doesn't hurt Bella."

"Then I will make it hurt!"

I heard a loud thud, and that was when Emmett stopped with a wince. I looked up at them, Bella was frowning, then I turned to look at Emmett and of course, he was grimacing in pain. I sighed and shook my head. "Honestly, when will you learn Emmett?"

"Never." He retorted, still his voice rang out in a painful tone. His arms had loosened around Bella, so she easily slipped out of his muscled arms and came over to me, hiding herself behind me from me. I rolled my eyes, like that would help.

"Do you want me to be his next target?" I asked, looking at her over my shoulder.

She shook her head quickly. "Hide me."

"How? You're taller than me." I sighed and shook my head. This was going to be a little annoying.

"Tell me about it." Edward spoke while he snorted. He took a quick glance at Emmett, and shook his head a little in disapproval. Whatever Emmett had in his sleeves, I didn't like it one bit.

"Let's get back inside, I don't want to see the dog roaming around without its leash." Rosalie frowned before quickly going back into the house. The rest followed, except Emmett.

"Whatever you're going to do, all of your clothes will be pink if you even dared of doing anything." I said, my eyes narrowing in a threat. His eyes widened, then he hung his head, his lips moving but there was no words coming out of it. Then he looked back, the look of defeat in his face.

"I will get you…." He paused as I raised an eyebrow at him. "One day…" He added before flitting towards the house. I let out a scoff at his retreating form.

"Men and their fear of feminine colors." I heard Bella muttered, so I turned to look at her.

"You fear them too." I said as my eyes twinkled in amusement. She looked back at me, her mouth agape. I chuckled and before she made a dash for me, I had already run off towards the house. I heard her growl behind me, and that caused me to giggle. Everything was going to be okay, as long as the wolves wouldn't decide to come early while Jacob was still here.

A/N: 'Proudness' - not in the dictionary, but I don't care. Another makeup word, ehe.

The low jokes turned serious and if the family didn't come out, I'm sure that Jacob and Alice will try to kill each other, again. Alice might win, since I'm all for Alice winning. And Esme is too nice, just toooo nice. And Emmett will never learn. And Rosalie will continue to be a bitch. And thank you for the review. =]
