Chapter 4

Glaring at Joham, I let out a loud growl. He just chuckles. "Nessie, you're so adorable taking up for a defenseless mongrel. Now move sweetie." His voice full of mock sympathy. I just crouch into a defensive position and let out another warning growl. "Nessie, angel, I don't want hurt you, so please move." He pleads, his golden eyes still fixated on my beloved. "You've got to the count 10 brat, and I will attack." He snarls. "1-2-3-4-5...." He paused his tensed body shifting to the west. Something has caught his attention. With a loud hiss he turns around and runs. As he high-tails it away, I relax stance.

Quickly I rush back to Jake's side. He is beginning to stir. Relief rushes over me. "Jakey, you okay?" The words staggering out of my mouth. "Nessie." He says breathlessly as his eyes flutter open. His warm brown eyes are filled with fear and he is confused. "Jakey, I'm here." I assure him as I place my hand on cheek. Without my permission, my thoughts travel to him and a blush creeps on his cheeks. "Are you okay?" "Yeah." He says as he slowly sits up. "Wait right here." He says a he quickly disappears behind a tree. "Sorry," he says as sits down beside me, now wearing pants. Putting his warm muscular arms around me he pulls me into his lap. "Ness Bear, I've missed you. I've been go crazy without you." He says as he gently kisses me, slowly letting it intensify. Sparks shoot through my entire. There is the feeling I have missed so much. His warm soft lips leave mine and make their way to my neck. I let out a soft groan of pleasure. I know where this is heading, but I can't bring myself to stop it. He continues to kiss me as he gently lays me on the frozen ground. This isn't quite how I pictured my first time, it is much more magical.

The sun begins to set, as I lay across his chest. His arms wrapped protectively around me. This is something I wish would never end, but it has to. I can't be selfish and risk Jake's life so I can be with him. "Jake," I say propping myself up to see his brown eyes. "Yes, beautiful." "I love you with all my heart, you know that right?" His happy expression falls, breaking my heart. "Yeah Ness." "Jake, I want you to go back home and stay." "I can't do that. It took me a month to find and I won't let you go again." He says as he rolls and sits up. I sit up too, and look away. I can't let him see the tears streaming down my face. This will be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do.

Trying to muscle up enough courage, to do what had to be done, three people appear from the west. Jake and I quickly stagger to our feet, and he wraps his arms protectively around me. "I won't let them hurt you." He whispers in my ear as me pushes me behind him. Both our hearts race, as they come closer. "Yummy, we're having werewolf with a side of human tonight.!" The tall muscular guy in the middle exclaims. He is bigger than my uncle Emmett. His black hair is a mess, and his eyes are red with hunger. "Good, I'm starving." The blond to the right whines. "Dammit Jasmine! Do you always have to whine." The nerdy red-head to the left snaps. "Ness, when I tell you to, run." "No Jake, I'm going to stand and fight with you." He turns around and glares at me. "Nessie for once, make my a job little easier!" I am applaud at his words, but this isn't the time to argue with him. Jake quickly strips, stuffs his pants into his band, and shifts. He let's out a loud snarl. The three vampires just lick their lips and sprint toward us.. I am beyond terrified as I fear for Jake's safety. Jake sprints toward them with me right behind him. Quickly, he tackles the the large muscular one, and I begin wrestling with the blond. She is strong. Too strong. She grabs me by the throat and throws me against a tall evergreen.

I fall hard to the ground and try to get up when she knocks me back down. I hear Jake let out a painful wail, and I know that he isn't doing great either. "Yummy, human blood." Her red eyes full of hunger. I swallow hard as I continue to struggle with her, but I am no competition. Slowly she lowers her head to my neck. Closing my eyes, I prepare for the excruciating burn of the venom.


Like always let me know what you think. If you have any suggestions, let me know. I would love to hear them.
