I started to pack my bag. I grabbed my clothes, the necessary toiletries, and my copy of Wuthering Heights. Funny how life seems to mimic itself, everything comes full circle. When I had my first encounter with him, he ran. This time I was running. I couldn't stay in this place, not with the vampires. It would be a constant reminder of what I didn't have. Life was hard enough I didn't need more pain to deal with.
I finished packing my bag. I am going to leave right now; I won't be able to sleep anyways. I gave my room one last look. I don't know what I am going to tell Charlie, but here I go. I locked my room behind me and went to my truck, it might be ancient but it got me to where I needed to go.
When I got outside, I could see the sisters sitting under a tree. Kate and Tanya were comforting Irina. If she could cry she would have been sobbing. I don't know why they were outside of my dorm, but I'm not sticking around to find out.
TPOV
"Irina, I am sorry that he deceived you but remember, he deceived all of us. He allowed us to trust him and call him family. We will deal with him." I was not going to allow him to make a fool out of us. He wasn't going to live very long after I found him. He broke Irina's spirit.
"That's the problem, I love him still. I know what he did is wrong, but I can't help but still have feeling for him. I am angry with him, but I need to hear it from his mouth that he never loved me." Irina said. Her dry cries crushed me.
"Irina, we will allow him to explain himself. But you can see for yourself that he ran when he saw the human and he had not called to let us know where he is. Please be cautious with your feelings. I will not allow him to hurt you any further." Kate told her. I'm sure if she could she would super charge him. I know I wanted to tear his head off and light it on fire.
I heard a truck start in the distance, but didn't think much of it. Bella was in her room pacing since we arrived to relieve Kate. Who knows why humans do the things they do. Bella must be a different type of human to be so special to the Cullens. She is more than just a pet. No matter how badly I wanted Edward, he would prefer her beating heart to mine.
APOV
I was outside of the house with Jasper, while everyone else was inside catching up. Carlisle, Esme, Emmet, and Rose arrived about 45 minutes ago. Everyone was eager to see Bella again, well everyone except Rose. Rose feels that Bella was the one that caused our family pain, not the other way around. She felt it was the best thing leaving her, although she was pissed that she had to leave her new life in Forks.
I knew leaving her would be trouble. Mostly it troubled me. I was so sure of the future I saw. She was meant to be one of us, my sister. I have missed Bella everyday since we left. But, a promise is a promise. Edward didn't want us to be involved in her life. I saw how this hurt him. He didn't say it, but he was upset that he allowed Bella to be in harm ways. He didn't blame Jasper, no one did. Jasper blamed himself. He was ashamed at how he reacted to her blood. He has been trying so hard, for me.
All of a sudden the future started changing. Jasper was at my side immediately.
"Alice, what do you see?"
"She is moving, she is not waiting. She is going to Forks, at least I think its Forks. I see Charlie and our home. She hasn't decided where she is going first."
"Victoria? She is going to Forks to get Charlie?" He was concerned for Charlie's safety as well. Victoria was on a war path and we all were preparing for the worst.
"Not Victoria, Bella. She is already on the road. She must have slipped by Irina and Tanya. Two vampires watching after one human and she got away. Sounds familiar huh?" I tried to lighten the mood. It wasn't that long ago when Bella slipped by us at the airport. "She is still driving that slow red truck. Edward will be here in a few hours. We can have someone track her. We just need to be careful to stay out of view. The rest of us, I am sure can beat her there. I don't see Victoria coming anywhere near her, yet. I think she will be safe."
"Lets go tell the others. I am sure some of them will be happy to return to Forks, even if it is only briefly." He grabbed my hand and led me into the house. Holding the door for me, he was always the perfect southern gentleman.
2 Days Later
BPOV
Man I am tired. I can't wait for a hot shower and my bed to sleep in. I hope Charlie doesn't get mad that I am just popping in. I don't know what to tell him yet. I think I am going to say I have a couple days off; at least that is a start. I can't say "Hey Charlie, there is this coven of vampires that attend my school and they really freaked me out. They remind of the last coven I hung out with. You remember them, the ones that tore my heart out and left me with a gaping hole in my chest?"
Charlie isn't slow on the uptake, but he doesn't like talking about the issue, so I will have a pass for a couple of days at least. I had to drive by the road that takes you to La Push. I looked to my right to see if I could see a little VW Rabbit. I didn't. I wonder what Jacob is up to? I hope that he is staying out of trouble. He abandon me after he told me he wouldn't. He promised. He didn't only leave me he also left Quill out to dry. He was one of Sam's boys, the same boys he was afraid of.
Quicker than I thought, I arrived home. Charlie's cruiser wasn't there, he must be at work. I parked the truck and grabbed my bag. Something began to howl from the woods that surrounded the house. It scared me. I wasn't going to stay outside any longer than I had to. I didn't want to find out what that sound belonged to. I remembered my dad telling me that a huge bear or wolf was acting some of the hikers not too long ago.
As I was about to put my key in the door when something popped out the trees. I quickly turned around with the key in the palm of my hands. What ever it was, I wasn't go down without a fight.
"Bells? Is that you?"
It was Jacob. Well not the Jacob I remember from the movies. No, this Jacob had grown at least two feet and stood strong and muscular. He looked like he was 26 even though I knew that wasn't possible. He stood on the wet grass without shoes and a shirt. He was wearing a pair of black sweats. Did he have a death wish?
"Jacob? Jacob Black? What, what are you doing here?" I don't know what made me more confused his physical appearance or his appearance at my house.
He ran his hand through his now short hair and gave me a sheepish grin. "Yep. It's me. It has been a while hasn't it. What brings you back to Forks?"
Suddenly I remembered the howl. "Jake we need to get in the house, I heard something howl. I am sure that it is close."
"Don't worry about that." He looked out into the woods. He seemed very anxious. "I am sure that whatever it was will not come out here in the clearing. I can't stay, Sam needs me back on the rez."
"Oh. Still hanging out with Sam I see." I was disappointed. I was truly excited to see Jake.
"Yeah.
"I guess that means that you still can't talk to me." My temper started to rise. I was tired of this. "Why are you even here?"
His smile left his face. He was shaking. "I came by to check on Charlie and he is not here. I didn't know you where going to be here. I am leaving right now. Do me a favor, and stay inside. You never know if that howling thing will come and get you."
"I don't even see your car. How did you get here?"
"Don't worry about. Just stay inside. Bye Bella." And with that he was off into the woods.
That was so strange. I didn't ever expect to run into Jacob. First vampires, now Jacob. My insides hurt from the pain. I unlocked the door and ran upstairs. I needed time to process all this.
APOV
"Hello dog." He didn't do a great job tracking me. I don't know if he knew how loud he was.
"Hello leech." Jacob was much taller than when I saw him at the prom. "What are you guys doing back here? Are you with Bella?"
"That is none of your business. We are not on your land, nor have we broken the treaty. Please leave, you smell."
"Bella is my business."
"It didn't sound that way."
"I had to leave her to protect her. Your all left her and broke her into a million pieces. She didn't talk to anyone for months. I did everything I could to bring her back to life."
"Don't speak of things you do not understand, mutt. Did you ever stop to think we did the same thing? Left her to protect her."
"I seriously doubt it. You guys don't have working hearts."
I growled at him. He had no idea what he was getting himself into. I showed him my teeth. "You better get back to your pack. I have already tested my patience with you."
I saw a shiver go down his spine and a growl slipped through his teeth. "This is not over. One foot on our land, I dare you." And with that he was gone. I didn't know the wolves would be here. Why couldn't I see them? Better question why was he in the woods outside Bella's house?
