Chapter 13 is here! Yay! Lol.
Venom: Aren't you guys happy I updated??
Bella and Edward look at each other, confused.
Jacob shakes his head, snickering.
Venom: What?
Bella and Edward look down, and they burst out laughing.
Venom stares at them in shock.
Venom: I forgot to wear pants again, didn't I?
They shake their heads, giggling.
Venom runs off, showing her red underwear, and shouting, "Dammit!"
Bella: Such a dork.
Jake: Totally.
Edward: I saw her underwear.
They stare at Edward.
Edward: What?
I was floating, my body laying on soft, pillow clouds, and everything was safe. Everything was the way it should be, warm and comfortable. I felt a chill of cold air run down my body, and I welcomed it. Oh how I love the cold, I really do.
"Jacob, wake up. We got to get up." A voice spoke to me through my haze amusement leaking through the edges, I squirmed. That voice sent such…warmth through my body. I could feel myself heat up, my skin a blaze, my heart beating through the fiery flames. I could just overheat and fry from hearing that voice.
An amazingly freezing hand caressed up my back, and I shook slightly, it grazed my skin up and down.
"How am I going to wake you up?" The gentle vibration of the person's voice comforted me, and I felt my consciousness drift back to sleep. God, I could stay here forever. The hand kept rubbing up my back, and goose bumps started grace my skin. Lips pressed against my neck, and the simple pressure woke me up.
"God Edward, don't ever stop." I moaned quietly, rolling my head to the side so he could kiss more of my skin. He trailed the kisses to the crook of my neck, nibbling at the skin, and then to my face, tenderly kissing my cheeks, my chin, my forehead, and then finally my mouth. He kissed me perfectly, applying the right pressure to my sensitive lips, making me wild. I moaned in his mouth, kissing back instantly, and I wrapped my arms around his rock hard waist. Everything was perfect; that is how it is supposed to be.
"We have to get up, Jacob. The fight is today." It felt like a bucket of cold water was splashed upon me, and I broke the kiss.
"Damn, you're right. Can't you skip it?" I smiled goofily at Edward, and he smiled back.
"No silly. Now get up, I've been trying to wake you up for 2 hours." He swatted my butt playfully, and I let out a surprised yelp.
"All you have to do is kiss me." I felt a seductive smirk curl on my lips. Edward returned it, smirking sexily at me.
"Oh I know. And I plan on using that to wake you up for now on."
I groaned at his words, the familiar stirring in my pants embarrassing me. Please don't let Edward notice the tent in my boxers. I chuckled, throwing his shirt at him, and he caught it expertly.
"I guess I have something to look forward to in the morning, don't I?" I grinned. Edward pulled his shirt on, followed by his jeans.
"You and me both." He kissed me again, and placed my jeans in my hands, "Hurry up and get dressed, I want this day to be over as fast as possible." I nodded, and slipped my jeans on. I wanted this day to be over too, Edward. You and me both.
"The brother clan should be here shortly, they have their fighter. The fight will initiate after they arrive." We stood in the field again, as the chief spoke to us about the brother clan. I had never met anyone from there before, but rumor has it that they're all very powerful. A small part in me was worried about Edward, but my heart told me that everything will work out. Edward will win, he always does. Footsteps in the distance alerted me and we all turned to see multiple heads full of black hair arrive. Tall, tan, and intimidating men all approached us, bringing an air full of confidence with them. One stepped out of the group, and greeted the chief.
"Hello Elder. I am Erin, the grandson of Chief Levi." The man shook hands with the chief, and I noticed his hair. Instead of it being straight and black, it was curly. Little winglet curls hanged down widely all over his head, giving him a cute, boyish face. Gleaming, mischievous brown eyes glanced at everyone in the group, and then they landed on me. His eyes widened, and he walked toward me.
"Muse! I mean Jacob! It's you!" He hugged me tightly, and I gasped for breath. He put me down, smiling apologetically for the hard hug, and I was puzzled. Who the hell is this?
"Oh no." Muse muttered in my mind, and I knew that this couldn't be good.
"What's wrong?" I asked, searching my mind for Muse. His face appeared hazily in the back of my mind, his face fell with guilt and disgraced.
"This is someone in my past that I didn't want you to meet. He is the person that won in the final match of my ritual." Muse ducked his head, his hair coving his face. My eyes flashed to Erin's face, and he knew I was talking to my wolf. He had a lazy smile on his face, and his hands were in his pockets.
"He is your mate? Why didn't you tell me?" I questioned, and then the gears in my head started to turn. I looked at Carlisle, his eyes trained on me, and I gasped. "Muse…you cheated on Erin with Carlisle, didn't you?"
Muse's head shot up, and if we were actually facing each other, he would have been glaring at me. "Levi was never my mate. I imprinted on Carlisle, and he claimed me long before we even had a ritual for me."
My jaw dropped, literally.
"Jacob? Are you ok?" Edward was at my side in less than a second, his arm around my waist. He held me up, and I realized that I was starting to fall backwards. I looked back at Carlisle, and his eyebrows were raised.
"I know about you and Muse." I mouthed, my eyes narrowing. Carlisle eyes widened slightly, and he mouthed back, "We will speak of this later."
I nodded, knowing that now was not the time, and turned to Edward. I smiled crookedly, letting him know that I was ok. He smiled back.
"Now that the pack has arrived, the fight will begin. Erin and Edward will fight." The chief raised his hand. We all stepped back, while Edward and Erin stepped forward. They crouched into defensive positions, eyes staring into each other.
"I will not lose Muse again. I will win." Erin growled, stalking Edward like a prey.
"You may have won last time, but that doesn't matter. I want Jacob, not Muse." Edward circled Erin; his eyes pitch black in color. I felt my heart thump hard in my chest when Edward said he wanted me, but I kept my eyes on Carlisle and Erin. Does Edward know what happened between Carlisle and Muse? My thoughts were pushed to the side when I watched Edward jump on Erin, tackling him to the ground. They moved like lightening, striking each other quickly, and my eyes strained to keep up with them. Eventually, they ripped away from each other, slashes in their shirts and jeans, hardly covered with the clothes. Erin's chest expanded deeply with every breath, sweat falling down his neck, and he wobbled slightly.
"You are stronger than Carlisle. No wonder Jacob chose you." Erin's body shook with his words, and then there was a giant black wolf standing in his place. Carlisle and Erin fought each other? Why? I didn't have any time to ponder that question, because in that one moment Erin had Edward's arm in his mouth, and with a sickening crunch, it was gone. Erin ripped off Edward's arm. I opened my mouth, screaming, and Edward fell to the floor. See through liquid seeped out of the stump of Edward's once arm, but Edward showed no emotion. He stood up, jumping on Erin's back, and locked his good arm around his neck. Erin thrashed madly, knocking over trees, rolling on the ground, even getting close to ramming into us, but slowly he stopped fighting, and fell to the floor. Edward knocked him unconscious, using the sleeper hold with only one arm. The Cullen Coven cheered, but I didn't, I just ran to Edward.
"Oh god, your arm. Look what he did to your arm!" I covered my mouth, tears started to prick at the corners of my eyes. I touched his shoulder, my hands coming in contact with the goo leaking from the wound. Edward smiled softly at me, and walked to pick up his mangled arm. With a flick of his working arm, he slammed his broken limb back into his shoulder, and it stayed there. I watched, gawking, as the liquid pouring from the hole of his arm worked as a glue, and it kept his arm in place. He tested his arm, making a fist, and then rotated his shoulder.
"See. I'm ok. Just a scratch." Edward smirked, wrapping his newly repaired arm around my shoulders. I swallowed, still a little woozy from Edward's performance, but I grinned. Edward leaned down and kissed my forehead, whispering, "I am your mate now. All I have to do is claim you, for it to be true." I shuddered, excited about claiming, and I laid my head on Edward's chest. He was my mate now, everything was going to be ok.
I looked back up, Carlisle walking to us, and I stepped away from Edward.
"You both have some explaining to do. What happened between you, Erin, and Muse?" I asked Carlisle, and then looked at Edward.
"That is a conversation that should be at home. Come, let us leave." Carlisle nodded at Edward, and then left.
"What are you guys hiding?" I asked at Edward picked me up, running back to the house.
"I'm not hiding anything. Carlisle is." Edward mumbled.
Hmmm. What is Carlisle hiding? Review and I will tell you next chapter! :P
