Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight! If I did, Jacob Black wouldn't be chasing after Bella! Haha
On with the story!
"Victoria…" Edward breathed. He turned to Jake. "Get her out of here. The newborn isn't going to do much harm and I'm strong enough to handle her." "Don't talk about me like I'm not here!" I shrieked. "I'm not going anywhere Edward. You know that and you can't stop me." I was livid now. I glared at Victoria and then looked at Jake he nodded and lunged for her. She screamed out as she went to the ground underneath the big wolf. Edward had already killed the newborn whose name I think was Riley or something. Jake bit at Victoria's throat and ended up biting all the way through, decapitating the vampire. I had passed out from the sight of blood and Jake had changed back into a human.
"You'll have the carry her Jacob. Otherwise they'll be able to smell her." Edward said gesturing to the battlefield. He nodded and picked my body up, careful not to hurt me. Hurry, Edward mouthed at Jake. He ran us down and I heard fighting going on all around me. Then it stopped. Either that or I blacked out again. When I did come back into the land of the conscious, Jake was sitting beside me holding a glass of water and two ibuprofen for when I woke up. My head was pounding as the memories came rushing back. I took the medication and lay back down.
The only thing I could think of was the Cullens and Victoria. It was over and I was safe. Jake noticed my change and started whispering soothing things to me as I started to drift off. "Jake?" I asked before I went to sleep, "Will you come lay with me? Keep me warm and safe? Please?" Jake looked at me for a minute and I squirmed under his observing eyes. He nodded his head and walked around the bed and climbed in. I snuggled into his chest and breathed a sigh of relief as he tightened his grip around my waist slightly. I fell asleep with a smile on my face and extremely warm.
When I woke up, I reached for Jake only to discover he was gone. Had he been a dream? Hell had all of this been a dream? I sat back against the headboard and thought of the scene at the campsite with Victoria. Edward and Jake caked in the blood of two vampires. I shuddered at the thought and closed my eyes. When I opened them up I realized that I was in my room. I silently grabbed a fresh t-shirt and a pair of jeans and all my other essentials and walked the bathroom. I started the shower and waited for the water to warm up. I looked in the mirror and I couldn't believe it. The girl staring back at me had so much confidence and bravery. I instantly though it couldn't be me. I stepped into the shower shaking my head and let the warm water roll down my skin. What a week, I thought to myself; first I'm forced into a battle but as the protected human. Then my best friend, who happens to be a werewolf, finds out I'm marrying his natural enemy and begins to leave me. Then I kiss said werewolf and feel something different. Like I don't want Edward anymore. Edward proceeds to then break up with me (unofficially) and I break down in tears of joy. Yeah I'm heartless. Finally, my enemy is killed and I wake up in my room.
I stood in the shower for a while thinking and then proceeded to finish up. Once I step out and get dried off and dressed my thoughts wander back to Jake. I did really love him and now I was free to be with him. I would talk to him today, I resolved. I walked downstairs and made breakfast for Charlie. He didn't press me about the week at the Cullen's house. We ate and then I grabbed my keys and walked to the door.
Almost automatically, my truck went towards La Push beach. Thankfully it wasn't a long drive to Jake's house. I knocked on the door and Billy, Jake's dad answered. "Bella, good to see you!" he said, amused as he questioned why I was here. "Is Jake here?" I asked, hope visible in my voice. "He's with the back just a couple steps beyond those trees." He said smiling. I thanked him before walking the edge of the woods. I stepped over a couple roots, but knowing myself, my good luck didn't last. I tripped and fell but instead of making contact with the ground, like I'd expected I was looking into the eyes of Jacob Black. I couldn't help but melt at the sound of his laugh as he made fun of me.
"We have to talk." I said, as quietly and calmly as I could. He gulped, his eyes going wide. He took my hand, which felt oddly right and let me to a small clearing right past the trees the others were standing by. He sat down and I was right beside him.
It was silent for a few minutes. Then he looked up and I saw that his guard was up, full power. "Jake…" I pleaded, "Please don't shut me out." I touched his cheek and looking into those dark brown pools. He's told me this so many times before, I thought. He let his guard down for me and I took a deep breath…
So? Love it, Hate it? Review please! ^.^
