Sorry it's been so long between updates. I just want to thank Inspirational97, Crazy-dog-lady4 and Zerlina2111 for reviewing. After I read Crazy-dog-lady4's review I went back through the story and edited and set it out differently. It was a big job and I was really quite disheartened, hence the delay in the new chapter.

But I really need to just get this story out, so here I am. I hope it's easier to read and that you will forgive my grammar, ha ha never has been my strong point. I am wondering if anyone out there would volunteer to be my beta reader? I think it would do the story good to have a fresh eye checking it over…

A New World

By Girldownunder

Chapter 11

Jacob's P.O.V:

I had been sitting in the rabbit outside of my house for about an hour, I couldn't get out, I couldn't move. I wondered, was this how Bella felt when Edward left her in the woods? Was this like the depression she had experienced? Even though Jemma had said she would call me, I knew who in their right mind would decide to feel ok about all this?

"Jacob!"

Dad yelled at me, he was on the porch, I looked at him.

"Get in here now."

He wasn't mad but he seemed annoyed, so I dragged myself out of the car, kind of feeling like an idiot for sitting in there so long.

"Yeah dad?" I asked as I stood in front of him.

"Get something to eat and have a sleep" he ordered "then we will talk."

Dad knew me well, he knew after food and sleep I would probably feel better but I didn't know if that would help me this time.

'Someone must have told dad what happened.'

I did what dad said, I ate and then laid on my bed, I didn't think I would be able to sleep but it was almost like I fell into a comatose state.

I woke up to dad calling my name and tapping the phone into my hand.

"Hmm what?" I asked opening my eyes to meet his smirking face.

"Jemma" he mouthed nodding his head to the phone.

I sat up quickly my feet hitting the floor and I brought the phone to my ear.

"Jemma?" I croaked out I sounded like crap.

"Jacob… hey" she answered me quietly "can you come over and get me so, we can talk?"

I sighed, releasing a breath of relief, I didn't quite realize I had been holding it in.

"Yes, yes I will be there in 5 minutes."

"Okay, see you soon" she said and hung up.

Dad was still in the room.

"Sooo?" he asked.

"She wants to talk", I said hopping up and chucking on a clean shirt.

"Talking is good son."

I walked around him to leave.

"Jake remember something for me?"

"Yeah dad?"

"Remember she is not Bella, don't compare her actions to those of Bella's. Jemma is and will be different… I am sorry that you don't get to have a normal experience when it comes to finding love, like it was for your mum and me."

I bent down and did something I had not done in a long time I hugged my dad… quickly but when I pulled back, dad looked relieved.

"It's okay dad I will be okay", I said giving him a reassuring smile as I ran out of the house.

Jemma's P.O.V:

I put on a clean, warm, waterproof jacket over the top of my hoodie and grabbed a blanket.

"Where are you going?" mum asked cautiously.

I was walking out the front door.

"Jake is coming to get me, we are going for a drive…"

Before mum could protest, Bryce spoke up.

"Well if your going hiking again, maybe put on some better foot wear", he laughed pointing to my ugg boots.

"Ha, ha, ha" I said sarcastically, kissing mums cheek and closing the door behind me.

I was sitting on the porch steps when Jacob pulled up, he got out of the car and walked over to me studying me carefully.

"Hey" he whispered shoving his hands in his pockets when I stood up.

"Hi, can we go for a drive, somewhere quite?"

"Sure, sure" Jake said.

I walked over to the rabbit, he opened the door for me and I got in.

We drove in silence for about 10 minutes and then Jake turned onto a dirt road, we reached the end of it and Jake pulled off to the side, turning the car off.

I looked around nervously, it was bloody freezing out there, I had expected a nice warm place to talk.

"Its not far" Jake promised, "but bring your blanket!"

He walked round to me and grabbed the blanket; we walked a short way through a snow covered forest path. It was so beautiful, I didn't have time to think about the cold.

We came out onto the beach, he led me a short way and there hiding behind a huge rock and surrounded by trees, was a little beach hut. It was quite old, but looked to be in good condition. It had a roof and walls, but the whole front was open facing the ocean.

"Wow" I said smiling up at Jake.

We sat in a patch of surprisingly soft, dry sand at the back of the hut. I wiggled closer to Jake and he threw the blanket on top us. I leaned against the back wall and looked at Jake who was playing with the edge of the blanket in his worn fingers.

"I found this years ago, with Quil and Embry, we used to camp here in the summer", he said looking out to the ocean.

I just nodded and began the speech I had been rehearsing in my head.

"Jake I have to be honest here, I totally get why you didn't tell me about the wolf thing and the imprinting stuff. We have only known each other a month, but I feel like I can trust you, and I know deep down you wont try and eat me, or anything crazy like that..."

Jake nodded as I continued, "I want to believe in love at first sight and I have a big imagination so all this isn't too far out for me. But at the moment, I am scared shitless that a 1 year old tried to drink my blood and I don't want this imprinting stuff to stop us getting to know each other the old fashioned way. I know hardly anything about you really."

I shuffled myself so I was a little in front of him, I needed him to look at me.

"I know I like you…a lot. Your funny, sweet, mega good looking and you have treated me so well, but I don't want to feel like we have to go get married and have babies like tomorrow… does that make sense? Is that enough for you?" I asked wanting to say something to make him respond to me, because he hadn't once looked at me since I started speaking.

Jacob suddenly looked up, his eyes were dark but his lips were turned up into a soft smile as he reached his hand out and rested his palm against my cheek gently.

"That's all I need Jem, you can have as much time as you need, I want… no, I need you to be happy."

"Another thing Jake, are you sure you want to imprint on me? I mean there are prettier girls out there, I am a pain in the arse and I swear way to much, I am stubborn…"

I was going to add to the list but he cut me off.

"Jemma you are perfect for me."

I could tell from his big brown eyes, that he wanted to assure me and he leant forward putting his soft lips to mine. I closed my eyes, and brought my good hand to his face and stroked his cheek with my thumb.

Jakes mood had changed dramatically. He started kissing me hard and then buried his face in my neck, kissing and sucking gently, I immediately got the shivers.

'This is why I needed a few hours to myself.'

Jake knelt up a little pushing me back onto the sand, he was on top of me then and he moved his lips back to mine. Our tongues touched and he moaned as I deepened the kiss, running my hand under his shirt and lazily moving it up and down his back. I felt him get the goose bumps and I smiled against his mouth, he then started kissing my neck again.

In one swift movement, Jake rolled bringing me to sit astride him, I could feel his hard manhood between my legs and I gasped in surprise, he had moved us so quickly I had hardly felt him moving.

I looked down at him, his eyes were heavy with lust and I knew that Jake wanted me as bad as I wanted him. I wanted to rip my clothes off and lower myself onto him but I wasn't ready to just yet, I smiled down at him.

"Sorry Jem, I got carried away, I have wanted to kiss you like that since I first laid eyes on you but…" he said sheepishly "I don't want to rush into anything."

I just laughed at him.

"You got carried away? I think it was me too."

I leant down and started kissing him again.

"Are you a virgin Jem?" Jake whispered in my ear.

I kissed his neck and sat back up, blushing, not that you could tell my whole face was probably pink from our fooling around.

"Wow that came out of nowhere!"

I giggled and then became serious.

"And no I am not… I have been with 2 guys and fooled around with another" I shrugged "it was stupid and I didn't really enjoy any of it, but I cant change it, its who I am."

Funnily, I didn't mind talking about this stuff with Jake and I was pleased he had changed the subject from the deep, wolf stuff but I wasn't going to regret anything, not even if I did wish I had of saved it for Jake.

"Ok."

Jake nodded and pulled me down to kiss him again I wouldn't let him though.

"Are you a virgin?" I asked.

He blushed and sighed.

"Yeah, I am I haven't even touched a girl without clothes on, I have kissed and copped a few feels through clothes but that's it."

I was secretly pleased and shocked at the same time.

"But you seem so confident with yourself and I have never reacted to a guy like I do you."

Jake seemed pleased with what I had said.

"I have a lot of friends Jemma, who don't keep their sex lives to themselves".

Jake laughed pulling me into a kiss.

"So you haven't even seen bare boobs?"

I pulled away, I just couldn't wrap my head around it, Jake laughed at me.

"No, I haven't even ever kissed a girl like this before" he motioned his hand between us.

I smiled cheekily at him and a new wave of determination came over me.

'Mine will be the first breasts Jacob will see…not today though, somewhere warmer...much warmer.'

"What are you smiling about?"

"Nothing, just thinking" I smiled at him as he pulled me closer, I was pleased he did because I was freezing.

I kissed him deeper and slipped one hand to touch the bare skin of his back and other to touch his stomach. Mainly to warm my hands up, he always was so warm.

"Your freezing! We should go…"

I didn't want to leave though, so I tried to distract him by running my hands up and down his chest. It worked, Jake claimed my lips and his hands cradled my face.

Jake suddenly craned his head, "we will have company soon" he said quickly sitting up a little straighter.

"Who?" I asked panicked thinking it may have been vampires or God knows what else.

"Oh, its okay" he said tucking the loose hair around my face behind my ears.

"Its Sam" he said as we settled back into our original spots holding hands.

"Jake…Jemma?" Sam called cautiously.

"Over here" Jake called, I could tell he was annoyed we had been interrupted.

"Hey" Sam said appearing in front of the hut.

"Hey Sam" I said smiling hoping my cheeks weren't too flushed.

"Are you guys hungry? We are going to have a late lunch or early dinner, whatever you want to call it and I thought you might want to bring Jemma" Sam said looking pointedly at Jake.

On cue my tummy rumbled and Jake laughed, annoyed no longer.

"That's a yes then Sam…we will be over soon."

With that Sam winked at me and took off running.

"Is it a wolf thing that you don't feel the cold? Is that why you're so hot all the time?"

I was thinking about how Sam, Jake and Leah and the others, were either underdressed, half naked or naked all the time.

"Yea we run at about 110 all the time, so we never feel the cold", he said smiling helping me up off the ground.

"So what else?" I asked curiously.

"What do you mean?" Jake smiled at me.

"Well, can you do anymore super human stuff?" I said wrapping the blanket around me as we walked to the path.

"Well we can hear really well, run fast…as human or wolf and we can read each others thoughts, while we are phased… in wolf form" Jake studied my face carefully as he spoke

"Everything? Can you hide things you think of?"

I was so interested in all this… it was unreal.

"Its hard, anything I think, they hear or see. We can show each other images of things we have seen so, the only way to hide something is to not think of it… it can be done, but its hard" he explained thoughtfully, he watched as I nodded.

"So if you think about seeing my boobs or kissing me, they will see it?" I asked horrified.

Jake blushed.

"Yeah, but I will try not to think about it."

Then he laughed.

"So I get to see your boobs?"

It was my turn to blush, "typical boy" I said nudging him.

"That's how I know so much about sex, besides Sam and Jared the other boys don't care if they share their sexual experiences."

I blushed again, Jake just laughed at me pulling me into his arms and looking into my eyes.

"Don't be embarrassed Jem, I promise I will try not to share anything but if I slip up you wont ever have to know, they wont tease you."

"How do you know" I was still unsure about this telepathy thing, which was crazy that that was all I was really worried about.

"Because, they have to do what I tell them" Jake said puffing out his chest a little.

"What do you mean?" I asked looking at him confused.

"I am the Alpha wolf… I am the tribes chief."

I stopped walking and looked at him in awe.

"And again… you imprinted on me? Jacob, I am not right for you" I said storming ahead.

I didn't get very far when I was lifted from the ground and Jake set me down in front of him.

"Please don't say that Jemma, we have been guided together for a reason, I know its sounds corny but its real and you were picked because you are perfect… for me… that doesn't mean you have to be perfect!"

Jake stroked my hair and lifted my chin so I had to look in his eyes.

"So please stop worrying about that, and the fact that you're only really worried about the pack telepathy and whether you're good enough for me, that only makes you more amazing".

I sighed I couldn't run away from Jacob, I knew what he was saying was true because I felt it down to my bones and I wasn't sure if I should be freaked out about it or not.

I shivered inching closer to him.

"Lets get you out of this cold" he said lifting me like I weighed nothing, I wrapped my legs around his waist and rested my head on his shoulder like a child would and immediately felt warmer.

I giggled into his chest.

"I haven't been carried like this since I was little."

Jake nuzzled my forehead and planted a kiss there but didn't say anything.

Once back in the rabbit Jake gave me the pack rundown. He told me about Sam, Emily and Leah and then Quil and Claire, which to be honest freaked me out so bad but I calmed down a little when he explained. He then told me about the 7 young boys who had phased because of this vampire war thing. It was hard to believe this all happened in sleepy Forks!

"Ok, so got everything?" Jake said looking at me nervously.

I let it all sink in, we were about to pull up at Sam and Emily's.

"Yea I think so… so basically you're the boss, Sam is your 2IC and the others are your little minions and you all have superhuman powers and protect La Push and Forks from evil."

I laughed trying to lighten the mood, it was all so full on, I don't think I could really get it in a day.

"Um, well yeah, when you put it like that except there is a lot more to it" Jake said laughing quietly as he got out of the car and opened my door for me.

We hurried inside as heavy snow started to fall around us, inside the house was like a furnace and I was so relieved.

I tried not to look too nervous, as about 20 faces stared at me from the lounge and kitchen areas.

"Hi" I said smiling, trying to hide my fear of disappointing or embarrassing Jake.

But I shouldn't have worried Emily walked up to me and gave me a hug.

"Welcome to our family" she said smiling.

I already knew from Jake that she was like the packs mum, and I had felt she was way to maternal the other day and know I knew why.

Sitting around the kitchen table were Sam, Paul, Jared, Quil, Embry and Seth sitting on the kitchen counter was Leah I said "Hi" to them all first.

"Jemma… This is Kim" Jared said beaming as Kim stepped forward; she surprised me by wrapping her arms around me in a tight hug.

"Nice to meet you Jemma" she said as she stepped back to Jared's side.

"You too", I smiled trying not to let it all overwhelm me.

Leah gave me a wink and the boys looked a touch surprised she was being nice to me.

On the Couch and floor in the lounge were the pack adolescents, I guessed. I had met Collin, Brady, Rich and Nate.

There were 5 other unfamiliar faces and they were all looking at me curiously.

"Jemma, this is Tom, Chase, Dom, Mitch and Wade" Brady said standing beside me as he pointed each one out.

I repeated the names as he said them, I liked to do that to help me remember, I was usually good with names.

"Hi" I said smiling "nice to meet you all."

"She has a funny accent," Mitch laughed nudging Wade.

"Well I think you have a funny accent too" I replied quickly, I always had to have a comeback even if it was a bit lame.

The boys laughed and I smiled at Mitch who had gone quite. They were all so young, about 13, I guessed. Too young to have had something so crazy happen to them.

'At least they had the others.'

I looked to Jake who was deep in conversation with Sam and the older pack members, not wanting to interrupt I sat on the floor next to Collin.

"So… What do you do in Australia for fun?" Collin asked me.

"Well it's a lot like here, except where I lived it didn't snow or get this cold… ever! My brother and I liked to go to the beach and play sports and stuff."

I shrugged my shoulders not really knowing how much detail they really wanted.

"What kind of food do you eat?" Nate asked suspiciously.

"Um, like people food?"

I laughed holding my stomach; they were so serious and treating me like I was from Mars.

" We have all the same foods except, things are just called different names and stuff and… I cannot eat nearly as much as you guys."

They all looked a little chuffed like I had complimented them. I figured that they all must eat heaps like Jake, Quil, Embry and Paul do. I had expected them to be a bit more mature for their age, from their appearance and all things considered, but they were just average kids. I felt pretty old sitting on the floor surrounded by them.

"Jemma?"

I turned, Emily was calling me.

"Can you give me a hand?"

I smiled at the boys and hopped up, happy to get away, they felt awkward around me, hopefully that changes when they get to know me a bit better.

I looked at Jake who smiled at me apologetically and mouthed "Sorry".

I just shook my head and smiled at him letting him know I didn't mind.

"Can you cut these for me?"

Emily handed me a knife and I started cutting up stuff for a garden salad.

"How are you?" Emily whispered secretly.

"I am okay, it's a lot to take in…for one day anyways. There are a few things that have me…thinking."

'Like imprinting, wolf telepathy, vampires actually exist, werewolves actually exist…'

"Well you're doing way better than I did" Emily said nudging me with her hip.

I just smiled and kept chopping, knowing that the pack was listening to us.

Kim and I arranged all the bowls and plates of food on the kitchen bench and table. Jake walked up behind me while I was washing my hands at the sink.

"Are you okay?" He whispered in my ear.

I nodded leaning back into him a little as he kissed my cheek.

"Jemma, Kim, Emily you get your food first" Sam said handing us plates, some of the younger boys moaned impatiently but Jake gave them a firm look and they hung their heads silently.

Emily, Kim and I took our plates and quickly chose what we wanted and sat at the table.

No sooner had we sat down did the chaos begin. I watched in awe as the mountains of food we had put out, was gone in a matter of minutes.

Everyone sat down where they could and began eating. The food was amazing; Emily was such a good cook.

I had been surprised when we finished eating, the younger boys took our plates and began cleaning up for Emily.

'That's sweet.'

Emily, Kim and I were deep in talk about how Emily was planning on decorating her nursery when Jake caught my attention.

"Can we talk outside for a minute?"

"Yeah…?"

I got up a little worried, Jakes brows were furrowed together and he was biting his bottom lip a little. I grabbed my jacket and quickly put it on. I followed Jacob out of the warm, cosy cottage into the dark, night air. I shuddered as I sat on the porch swing next to Jake and waited for him to talk.

As always, I hope you enjoyed it...Next chapter is the meeting with the Cullens and Sam finds out about Leah's secret :-)
