I was lucky Charlie was at work otherwise I feared him seeing a scene that would be out of the ordinary. I walked into the woods of my house, not too far from the eyes of the road but enough cover should my father come home early. I called Jacob on my cell. He answered on the first ring bright and cheerful, "Hello Bella. Miss me already?" Edward stood five feet away from me though I knew he could hear every word that was said, he tensed immediately when he heard Jake's voice and growled low at Jacob's flirtations.

"Jake I… I need you over here. Soon please," I breathed over the phone trying to muster up everything I had. If I couldn't talk to him on the phone how the hell could I talk to him in person.

"Bell's whats wrong?"

"I can't say. But can you please be over here soon Jake? Alone?"

"Sure honey. Give me 7 minutes max." I nodded to the phone and hung up shoving the phone into my pocket and biting my lip. I wanted to cry but couldn't. I turned to Edward.

……..a cricket chirped, the last war would begin soon. The princess cricket journeyed forth into the distant land called Eragon and shouted the magic words, "Walking the green mile. Walking the green mile," so that she could pass and give her child to the sacred green midget known as Yoda who would take care of her child should anything happen to her and raised the child in the ways of her kingdom as well as the ways of the jedi………….. however the princess did not know that Prince Swin Swam Robert Pattin's soldiers would ambush her on her way back from delivering her baby and so she was caught in the ambush and taken prisoner to the great prince……….

"What's wrong Bella?"

"You'll see. Just please don't be mad at me Edward and go along with everything I say. I know you'll probably be mad at what I'm about to do and I'm sorry okay but it takes one to know one you know," I breathed walking over to Edward and poking him in the chest. "If you get mad at this serves you right but I have to do this and you owe me one." Edward stared at me. He couldn't read my mind and I felt his voice stir in my own mind. Should I be worried? What are you going to do? I glanced at my watch ignoring his question. If I voiced it now I'd break down crying with remorse and hatred for myself. Just a matter of time and he'd be here. I reached out and pulled Edward's toward me wrapping his arm around mine and my arm around his. "Bella?"

"Remember. Go along with me," I hissed. It took all the concentration in my body not to moan in agony but to look stern and dead ahead.

The wind shifted and I felt the stir of the trees far before he reached us from all the energy pulsating from Jacob. He came to a sudden halt in front of me in a matter of moments; tanned skin, toned body, pants tight on his waist so as not to get loose in his running, bare feet, and his long black hair tied back in a ponytail, his brown eyes looked on filled with hate at Edward.

"What the hell is he doing here? Yo bloodsucker get your arm off Bella! She's my girlfriend."

"That's why I needed to speak to you Jacob… The vampires that are here are here to attack me and the Cullen's have come back to protect me… they still care for me. So the wolf pack can't broach on their lands because of the treaty." They'll be safe because of the treaty, I thought to myself.

"You aren't theirs to protect anymore Bella. Besides if they cared for you why did they leave you huh?"

"For her safety," Edward growled back at Jacob his arm coming tighter around my waist.

"Bullshit. She can take care of herself."

"I left for her safety because I was scared my family would've hurt her or even worse I would've…"

"At least with me she needn't fear that! I would never hurt her no matter what!"

"You say that though your nature forbids any such promise mutt!"

"My nature and my willpower are entirely different from yours! I actually fight mine and I'll keep my promise! I have never and will never hurt Bella!"

"I can't be yours Jake," I cut in already noticing Jake's eyes fill with more rage by the second and the veins on his neck stand out with every moment that passed. "I need them to protect me and to end what's started. This doesn't involve any half crazed wolves. And besides Edward has returned for good Jake…"

"Bella I don't like where you're going with this." Even as he said it Jake tensed up and a pained look came into his eyes. What I would've sacrificed to make it go away.

"He's come back for me Jake. He still loves me and always have. I understand now why he had to go but he's come back and Edward promised that he wasn't ever going to leave me again. All can go the way it was you know… He was my first love after all," I said though the words sounded untrue even to my own ears as I clutched even tighter onto Edward.

"Bella you're my girlfriend!"

"No. I can't be anymore Jake. I love him. Don't you see what him and I have is different. You and I it was just… just a hapless fling that I needed to boost my ego." Searching for the right words to use I pulled out words that weren't my own. "I don't want you to come with me." Edward's words. "Anywhere." My words.

"You don't want me?" Those were words that I knew all too well and it was like the scene was playing over in my mind from the past… the only difference was our positions had been switched.

"No… of course I'll always love you… in a way. But whats happened made me realize that its time for a change. The right change, the way it should've been." Our words mixed together. "Because I'm… tired of pretending tobe something I'm not Jacob. I'm not a wolf girl. I've let this go on much too long, and I'm sorry for that… You're not good for me Jake." I opened my mouth to speak again and remembered to keep my voice dead toned and void. My eyes were cold as I spared a glance at Edward who looked at me with his mouth slightly open in shock at the scene, and what was even more shocking was that his sympathy rested with Jacob when he looked back over at the young native. I glared at Edward for a moment when his eyes returned to me and thought in my mind to him, See how it hurts! The emotions in his head weren't that different to mine.

Bella I'm sorry. I didn't know-

Know what? That humans could feel a whole lot more than vampires could? You jackass we come from the same origins and you think us not capable of the strongest of love. Now shut up and play along with me.

"I can't believe that for a second," was his immediate answer though already I could tell that my words pierced him like Inuyasha's sword –not Sesshomoroes because his sword is weak and not as cool and sharp as Inuyasha's-. Jacob was grasping for whatever he could. I knew that he wouldn't go down without a fight.

"Believe it mutt she's mine," growled Edward tensing up beside me.

"No she isn't! Look and see what happened after you left," grunted Jacob his eyes flashing with rage as his mind allowed memories to flood from his mind to Edward's. Bella's laugh when she was with him, their dates, the happiness she'd shared with him, the hate that would peek its head out for Edward, and even the misery she felt when she thought of him but also the independence and sheer will power she used to get over him. "She loves me."

Then I did the only thing I could do to tick Jacob off. I reached up, grasped onto Edward's face, pulled his face down to mine, and planted a kiss on his lips. At first I was resistant but then all my passion came out when I remembered what was at risk. Jacob. I kissed Edward like there was no tomorrow, my arms around his neck, and when I pulled away it wasn't just me that was breathless. Edward's eyes looked pained and confused as he dared take a look in my eyes. I couldn't meet those eyes as I turned and yelled at Jacob with my own eyes closed, I didn't want to see the hurt that I knew was on his face, "Get the hell out of here mutt! Don't you get it I love him! I've never cared about you!"

Jake growled viciously and I could see his body twitching. Edward immediately pushed me behind him and crouched on the ground, just like he had when James had been after me, except this time I wasn't scared. Jake's body shook and twitched but he growled low in a harsh voice, "I would never hurt her." And then he took off like a bat out of Six Flags -because they secretly abuse animals just for the fun of it- and ran as fast as he could far away from me.

I fell to the ground crying, every ounce of me cried, my body shook, Edward reached for my shoulder and I shook him away curling into a ball in the dirt and grime, and finally I let Edward hold me in his arms and rock me back and forth whispering to my ear, "Shush it'll be alright." But it wouldn't.

"You better not leave me asshole. You're the only friend I have now," I managed to voice before I grabbed hold of his shirt and cried into his chest. All I remember after that is Edward carrying me into my room and sitting there stroking my hair.

….Somewhere close by yet not so close by yet terribly close by enough to be highly considered close by the snargle –who also forgot to put an s in front o fits name so sometimes it thought itself a nargle- crawled around and made its way to Fork's, its eggs left behind in trees and bushes ready to hatch should… and to answer any questions on how the snargle could become pregnant when it was one of a kind this mama snargle wish it to happen for this snargle was special in that it could turn into a girl when doused with cold water and a boy when doused with warm water therefore lukewarm allowed this snargle to impregnate itself….
