Ok this is the good part ;P I hope I can give you what you wanted; because there is only 2 ways this chapter can go…. One ya'll think it's awesome and love it or…. I do a horrible job and it totally sucks and you all throw virtual tomatoes at meh! And I have this planned out, the next chapter is Edward and Bella have their huge talk! Dun dun dun! And then a happy ending and then an epilogue! Oh and if you like Jacob uh… you might not be too happy with me by the end of this chapter –laughs nervously-
I stared into the eyes of the giant russet wolf (I now guessed was my father).
He growled deeply. Yep. I was right, he is chomping at the bit to get to me. The only thing different is this time… I don't stand a chance, nobody is here to save me, and even if someone was here how would they stop him? That's just it, they wouldn't be able to; I suppose this is pay back for the mistakes I made. Everyone I hurt, including Edward. His paws clawed into the dirt and his head bent as he crouched.
I backed up so I was pressed to the side of the house; I turned my head to the side, not wanting to see the impending doom coming. I shut my eyes shut tight and mashed mouth together, determined not to scream when death came.
When did it come to this? A week ago if you told me I would die like this I probably would have cursed you out and called you a dirty rotten liar. Somehow my life got even more mangled than it already is, and I was discovering a treaty between vampires and werewolves, plus a juicy romance for my Mom. Nice. Hopefully Edward didn't believe me and went to talk to her himself. Maybe they ran away together; left me here to rot and their memories of me fade. It would only be what I deserved; I was nobody. Like Dad said. I'm a nobody. I'm not as strong as I fooled, even myself, into believing I was this strong girl that can withstand anything and everything the world threw at me. I was lying to myself. I was telling myself I was strong for not screaming when I was getting beaten; I was being more cowardly than if I were screaming my head off.
It's just peachy that I'm learning that during my final moments.
Something flew in front of me before I could take 2 breaths. I realized it was a person, they put out their arms in front of me protectively. No! Who would do this? Whoever it was going to die right along with me!
My eyes adjusted to the little light to see skinny white arms and thick brown hair on my protector. Oh god no…
"Don't do it Jacob!" Mom shouted at the wolf. So I was right, it is Dad. Even worse. My suspicions confirmed. Why is Mom doing this? How can she be so stupid?! She can't win! She knows that! Dad growled ferociously at Mom and shook his head in a gesture telling her to move.
"No, give it up Jacob! Sam has heard you by now and is probably on his way to stop you! You couldn't block your mind from the pack forever!" What the hell…
His face twisted to look like a smug grin. Mom gasped and let out a profanity under her breath.
"The party… Sam isn't in his wolf form…" I looked at her incredulously, desperate to want to understand their private conversation. What did that have anything to do with what was going on now? And why is Uncle Sam involved in this? And what's with this whole "hide your mind from the pack" business? Too bad I won't live long enough to figure it out.
"Jacob please… she's your daughter… don't do this." She plead with him. I knew it was all in vain, if it didn't hurt him to pound both of us daily then it certainly wouldn't hurt him to slaughter us in cold blood… hey it would probably be fun for him.
He made the head gesture to her once more, she shook her head no.
He lunged at Mom and she shoved me so hard I was sent flying about seven feet away. I screamed out a "NO" when I was being pushed. I shut my eyes and waited for her horrible bloodcurdling screams.
I was suddenly flying again, the trees were nothing but a green blur as I whisked through the air. I was settled about 50 feet away and when I looked back, Mom was gone and Dad was still recovering from slamming into the side of the house. Leaving a huge dent in the wood and debris littered the ground as he shook wood from his fur.
I looked around frantically for Mom. I felt a hand come on my shoulder, I gasped lightly.
"It's okay." Mom whispered in my ear.
I looked to our right and froze. I knew why Mom and I had gotten out of the way so fast; Edward had come back for Mom.
I'M SOO SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN ALL THAT CRAP I TOLD YOU! I screamed at the top of my mental lungs. I was about to cry because I'd desperately wanted to see him again so I could apologize, because he was the only thing that could get Mom away from Dad. I'm just thankful he came back; he only nodded in my direction.
I was offended for a tenth of a second before I realized he was so focused on Dad- no I won't call him Dad, I'll just call him Jacob. Ok so he was so focused on Jacob that he couldn't give me any other reassurance.
Edward and Jacob were staring each other down; it was silent for thirty unbearable seconds. Snarls were constantly coming from Edward as he crouched into a fighters pose. Jacob followed suit.
"Bella" Edward said without turning around. "Go take Lizzy away from here, I don't know how this will go."
"But Edward-" My Mom protested. She was obviously confused to see him here.
"Bella just go."
Mom only nodded, she grabbed my arm with a quick "come on Lizzy". We ran around the side of the house and I expected her to keep running but she pulled me against the wall as she peeked around the corner.
A breeze came in and tousled Jacob's fur and Edward's hair; they stood still.
I waited for Jacob to lunge at Edward because I knew his fighting style, he always used his brawn rather than brain. But this time he surprised me; he used strategy this time. From the looks of it from someone on the outside, Edward was a goner. But from the point of view from someone who knew the secret, I knew they would probably be evenly matched.
It all happened so fast. When I looked, Edward and Jacob were in the middle of an internal battle. And the next they were lunging and ripping so fast I couldn't see who was winning. You'd see Edward's head come up over the brawl to make a high attack but that was all I could make-out.
I was on edge every time, someone cried out. I desperately didn't want Edward to die, I didn't know what I'd do if he died. He was our only chance to escape Jacob. If Jacob wins then…well I guess I wouldn't live too long to mourn Edward's death. I prayed that it wouldn't come to that.
I saw Edward's silhouette fly into the side of house and fall; he was losing.
My mind was racing and my heart was beating helicopter blades.
No.
I had to find a way to give Edward an edge, had to distract Jacob (an- I'm sorry I HAD to fit in the eclipse fight scene in here :P haha) Edward needed help, he wasn't going to win , my worst nightmare was coming true. As I was having this revelation I heard Mom whisper something to me.
"I'm going to call Sam and Emily at the party, do you want to stay here-"
"Yes." I answered immediately.
"Ok…" she answered hesitantly but said nothing more. She ran into the house while the snarls and rips continued.
Edward, follow my lead! I thought as loudly as possible, hoping it wouldn't distract him too much.
"Oh no! Mom what's wrong? What's happening? Mommy?" I screamed loud enough for Jacob and Edward to hear, except Edward was in on it. My plan was set in motion.
"Dad!" I called out the name to appear as if I'm calling for him, but really wanting to use it in disgust. "Something is wrong with Mom! She needs to go to the hospital!"
I saw Jacob hesitate, wondering whether or not to trust me or not; why would he care? He was ready to kill her not 10 minutes ago!
That one moment of confusion gave Edward the chance he needed.
He leapt stealthily at Jacob and landed on his back, proceeding to sink his teeth into his throat. I realized he didn't have fangs after all… my imagination must have gotten the better of me.
I didn't know what a bite would do to Jacob, but apparently it was enough to kill him. Because he fell to the ground on his side and started spasming rapidly; Edward had his foot on top of Jacob's head and after a second, he put pressure on it and it disgustingly crunched and collapsed in on itself. I thought I would pass out, it was so disgusting!
My vision got blurring and my surroundings started spinning; I felt myself fall to the ground. I waited helplessly for the thud that sent me to the cold hard ground. But I didn't feel it come.
I looked up and saw Edward holding me straight , his eyes dove into mine. I stared back, astonished. He whispered.
"Thank you." He said sincerely. Before I could answer we both heard Mom gasp, she was staring at Jacob's corpse.
She was silent.
Edward stiffened. He straightened and walked over to Mom and put his hand on her shoulder. I looked away it looked like they were having a moment. I wanted to give them privacy.
"We need to talk." He said to her.
OK so you Jacob fans are going to despise me for killing off Jacob but what else could I have done? Don't answer that. Haha anyway I loves my reviews! They get updates faster!
