A New World

Chapter 20.

Jemma's P.O.V:

I couldn't sleep. I hadn't slept properly in two days. Jake had been busy with the pack and I missed him so much. My heart was heavy and I felt nervous, a lot. Jacob was not telling me something and I know that I had been feeling all these things because he was too. The pack was being weird. Bryce seemed to be in on it, he was quite pleased that he was now considered, part of the pack. There was always one of the boys here.

Leah had got a job as a receptionist at a construction company in Forks, so I think B liked to have the boys around for company. He still hadn't made a choice about what he wanted to do now that he had finished school and I knew he missed Leah a lot.

Leah had told Jake that she was happy to run patrols still but she wanted to take a step back and try and start a 'normal' life again. I know she was doing it because she hoped she would start a normal menstrual cycle again, it should have freaked me out that she was planning her future babies with my brother, but it didn't.

'What's normal anymore?"

I had been busy enrolling into Peninsula College in Port Angeles to start studying Early Childhood Education. In march I would go to Port Angeles for two days a week and I would be able to take of a couple of classes on the net, which was good, I didn't really want to travel so much.

Jake was excited that I did it, I think he had still been expecting me to move back to Australia, but we both know I cannot be apart from Jake for long, these two days had been the longest we have been apart since our first date. Three months…I cannot believe how fast it has gone.

Quil and Embry said that Jake has changed a lot since Christmas, I haven't noticed so much but I know that they don't like it. Jake had been more bossy, easier to get mad and just distant from everyone, including me sometimes. I swear he had gotten taller and a bit more buff…not that I was complaining.

My thoughts wondered back to last month. I thought about the cabin often and I couldn't help but smile and heat immediately settled in my cheeks. It had been the most amazing weekend of my life. The sex…my God the sex, it had been amazing. I hadn't even cared that he had bit me, I didn't show anyone but whenever I thought of it, I filled with pride that I was now Jake's.

'So much for being a strong, independent female.'

It had occurred to me the past month that maybe I had given my heart away too easily, I had become a submissive member of Jacobs pack. It felt like that sometimes but always, when we are alone, he is just Jake and I am just Jemma.

I sighed and rolled over onto my stomach I had been trying to dream about Jake, after all, I am meant to be this dream walker, thing. But that wasn't working either.

I switched the light off and laid back down on my back, carefully smoothing the covers over me. I folded my hands together on top of the blankets and moved my head around on the pillows until I was comfortable.

I slowly inhaled and then exhaled in a poor attempt at meditation but surprisingly, my eyes began to droop and before I knew it I was awake again…in my enchanted forest. I pushed the covers back on the exquisite, antique bed and put my two feet on the ground.

" Ring, a ring, a rosie, a pocket full of posies, a tissue, a tissue, we all fall down."

I smiled as the sounds of children laughing echoed around me, I walked along the dirt path towards the sound. Rays of light shone through the trees and I caught my breath when I spotted Alice Cullen with two beautiful dark haired children probably about 4 or 5 years old.

"Jemma! Where have you been? We have been waiting for sooo long!"

I had to concentrate as it sounded like Alice was singing a song, her voice was so sweet and musical. Alice was also glittering in the sunlight, like she had fairy dust sprinkled over her from head to toe.

"I am sorry, I have been…hmm, I don't where I have been."

I walked up to them and slipped my fingers into Alice's outstretched hand.

"That's okay…"

"Lets sing again…"

The two little children said to me and we began to spin, we were laughing and began spinning faster. I looked at the faces of the two children. They were beautiful. The little girl, she was the girl from my meadow, beautiful with dark hair and chocolate brown eyes. The little boy looked very similar, except his nose was slightly different and his hair was shorter.

'Twins?'

I realized we were spinning too fast now and I began to feel dizzy.

"I need to stop…" I moaned, my head feeling very light all of a sudden. They laughed at me and suddenly stopped in their places but I kept spinning until I hit the ground with a thud, I cried out in pain as I grazed my elbow.

Alice and the children stopped laughing and sat beside me…waiting for me to speak.

"What's that smell?" I asked suddenly, I sniffed at the air.

It was a sickly, sweet smell. It assaulted my senses and screamed DANGER!

"Vampire." Alice whispered fiercely, pulling me to her. The children disappeared and Alice whispered in my ear.

"Someone is coming."

I turned and saw walking into the forest, a shadowy figure. I gasped as his glowing red eyes met mine.

"Wake up Jemma." Alice yelled at me as she stepped in front of me. I immediately started running back towards my safe, warm bed. I almost cried when it came into sight and I dived head first onto it and scrambled to the pillows throwing the covers over my head.

"Wake up." I screamed at myself.

I pulled my hand back and slapped myself hard across the face.

"Ouch." I cried in pain.

I opened my eyes and blinked a few times.

"Holy fucken hell."

I sat up and looked around my room, I sighed in relief and fell back against the pillows, my hand over my pounding heart.

"Oh Jeez it was a dream, just a dream…"

My forehead wrinkled as I sniffed the air, I could smell a sweet, sickly almost like, bleach smell. It made my stomach turn and I ran for the toilet. The only sounds to be heard was, the symphony of my vomit hitting the porcelain.

Before I could get off the floor, my bedroom door burst open, splinters flying everywhere and Quil and Paul burst through it, growling and shaking.

I rushed out of the ensuite.

"What the fuck boys?"

"Jemma! Your alright…" Quil exclaimed rushing to me and pulling me to his chest.

Paul began pacing around my room sniffing the air and closing the window with a slam.

'I don't remember leaving that open…'

"Get dressed, you're coming with us." Paul growled.

"Paul! Do not speak to me with that tone of voice or I will kick your arse myself… go wank off or something."

Quil started laughing.

"Jemma you are a riot. Go wank off or something? Paul, you sounded like Arnold Schwarzenegger 'Come with me if you want to live!'"

I couldn't help but giggle at Quil's horrible impression of Arny but I had to give it to him, Paul did sound like that.

"Now is not the fucking time for your jokes Quil…seriously?" Paul said.

"Jemma really, you need to come spend the day at the Rez…pplleeaasse."

"Fine…out so I can get dressed but this is really unnecessary, I just had a bad dream and a spu. Its not like I am really sick! And I had birthday shit to do today!"

I looked at them both as their eyes trailed down to my body, I was in a long sleeved white nighty, that didn't leave much to the imagination. I blushed and crossed my arms across my chest and gave them the dirtiest look I could muster up.

"Whatever Jemma, we are imprinted men." Paul said, before he stormed off the way he came, Quil following behind. Luckily mum and dad must have left for work because, how the fuck was I going to explain my door.

"You bastards better get my door fixed by the time mum and dad get home." I yelled after them.

"Fuck off." Paul yelled over his shoulder.

"Hurry up" Quil added laughter heavy in his voice.

I loved the pack, don't get me wrong but the way they over exaggerated about everything reminded me of a bunch of girls.

Three hours later I am sitting in Paul's lounge room on the floor… Jake was nowhere to be seen. I had asked, no begged, to be able to go to Jake's but apparently everyone is busy and if I am 'sick', this is the safest place to be.

I glanced behind me, Quil and Paul are still battling it out on the PS3, I found myself laughing at their competiveness. I looked down at the notebook in my lap, mum and dad had given me and Bryce free reign on our birthday party this weekend. But I had hardly anything done and the boys were not exactly party planners. I was disappointed, I had wanted it to be a little special, but it was looking like a barbeque in the back yard. I rubbed my chest a little and pulled at my shirt, my chest was getting tighter.

'Maybe I am getting sick?'

"Its cool Jem, I will make a huge bonfire and me and the boys can dance around it naked for you, if you want." Paul offered cheekily, picking up on my mood.

"Ah no thanks Pauly, you've got nothing I want to see."

Paul and I had become good friends, I think Paul liked that it pissed Jake off a little. I couldn't figure Paul out though, one minute he is sweet and caring and the next he is a growling, angry mess. Luckily Rach had him on a short leash, they really were made for each other.

I got up and went into the kitchen and Quil immediately got up and followed me.

"Fucking hell Quil, I am just going to the kitchen, I am starving my guts out!"

Quil laughed.

"Me too, as always."

At that moment the back door opened and my Jake sauntered in looking like sex on legs. My chest eased off a little and I sighed as he walked to me and wrapped his arms tightly around my waist. He breathed me in deeply through his nose and as he let the air out of his mouth, the tension inside me almost disappeared.

"Baby…" he whispered into my hair.

"I missed you Jacob."

"I missed you."

Paul coughed and I looked up as he made an eyebrow gesture to Jake. Quil and Paul filed out of the house.

"I will be back in a minute and then lets see if we can't get your birthday party organized, huh beautiful."

I watched Jake follow the boys out and quickly gathered my notebook and pen off the lounge room floor and chucked them in my satchel bag.

The good thing about being an imprintee is that I never had to worry about Jake not knowing how I felt and vice versa, we understood each other's feelings. But I was beginning to think that was the only thing I understood, because Jake was keeping something from me and I was bloody well, going to find out what that was.

AN- Sorry this is chapter is mega short. This chap and the next have been kicking my arse, if you couldn't tell. The plan in my head is not being translated onto paper so well. So I decided I just needed to get it out there in fanfic land. If you could click the review button and let me know what you think, I would love you forever.

Something big is coming…can you guess?
