A/N As I mentioned earlier, I would like to have a chapter from Paul's POV. As I started writing it, it turned out to be quite long, so I broke up his thoughts into two separate chapters, which means this and the next one are all about Paul :) Hope you enjoy!

Chapter Five: Paul

We were chasing the red head again. I knew there was no sense in doing this, the bitch would pull the same prank she did every time. She would make us run after her for a good hour or two, then head out to the ocean, where she knew we wouldn't follow. I knew she was just playing with us, trying to figure out our strategies, find our weak spots. So I didn't understand why we had to mobilize everyone when she started her little game again. If she really was going to attack, she would act differently, somehow I knew I was right. But the Alpha of ours seems to disagree. That prick sometimes could annoy the hell out of me by being so over cautious; if I were him, I'd...

Paul, that's ENOUGH! Great, now I can't even complain in my own head? I'm getting pretty bored chasing her in the same manner again and again.

Yeah, and we're getting pretty annoyed with you whining about the same stuff again and again. You should at least come up with some new ideas, I mean, I could retell the 'Sam being a prick' story backwards in my sleep.

Jared, that's enough of you, too. Wow, seems like our Alpha is getting really annoyed this time, I gotta take advantage, this doesn't happen that often.

Don't even try, you know we have our ways to make you wanna kill yourself. Oh, is big bad Alpha gonna show me another piece of his happy imprinted life with little, bubbly Emily?

Actually, I had something else in mind. Sam growled before showing me the image of that leech lover Swan slap me in Jake's back yard. I scowled, noticing that I still made Sam growl, so I guess I didn't completely lose this one.

Oh, really? I heard Jacob let out a laugh before the whole pack started replaying that scene from different angles. I couldn't help but growl.

Okay, it seems that she's going to head out to the ocean again. And what did I tell you? Well, since you understand our dead friend so good, Paul, you get the honor to follow her. Once again I growled. Embry, you stay here to back him up in case something goes out of control. I didn't need a fucking back-up, the bitch wouldn't change her style. But no one actually listened to me anymore, they all phased out except for Embry. But he was the guy who never tried to annoy me, I had to admit, he was the one I actually liked to share my mind with.

Aww, that's so nice of you, Paul, I never thought you're such a sweetheart.Okay, I take my words back. I heard him giggle, as he stayded behind while I chased the red to the ocean. Like always, she took a quick glimpse at me before jumping off the cliff. I slowed my pace, and stood on the edge, watching the ocean with the red spot in it. I was so used to see her swim away in the same direction every time, that at first I didn't even realize she had stopped. Tensing my vision I could see she was looking at something on a cliff little lower from where I was standing. I followed her gaze and couldn't believe my eyes.

That fucking leech lover? What the hell was she doing here, on a cliff? She looked like a lunatic, her arms streched in front of her. Embry, go find Jake and tell him his little girlfriend has gone completely insane. And it seems that the bitch has already noticed her. Another great thing about Embry was that he never hesitated to ask stupid questions when the situation seemed to be serious.

As I heard him run away, I rushed to the cliff the crazy one was standing on. Did she just move? Fuck, she's definetely going to jump. Maybe I should just let her jump and drown, we would be minus one huge problem.

I heard Embry growl in my head. You do that and I'll help Jake rip you apart. With a hiss I sped up. She was almost on the edge already. If I didn't hurry up, she'd jump. As I rushed to the psycho, I felt Embry phase out, when Jake phased in just a moment later. His thoughts almost made me stop.

Harry's what?.. Feeling Jacob's sorrow made me flinch inside. I couldn't believe he was dead, he was a great elder, the one that helped me the most when I started phasing. I wasn't the nicest guy, but I still could feel gratitude towards those who helped me.

You'll think about it later, go get Bella now! That fucking little Alpha! I hated that I had to listen to this little puppy when a shadow of Alpha echoed in his voice. With these thoughts I reached the cliff she was standing on. Was the idiot smiling? I really couldn't understand Jacob's feelings towards this obviously brainless creature. Jake growled in my head as I leaped forward to catch her clothes with my teeth. I missed just an inch, the psycho was already flying down.

I'll get her. I phased, putting my shorts on in wolf speed, and jumped after her.

As I was in the water I instantly saw her, she was still smiling, holding out her arm as if to reach something. I swam towards her, noticing that the red head was on her way as well. The stupid girl was doing weird stuff in the water as I grabbed her and rushed to get her out. Even if she was a psychopath, I couldn't let her drown now. Being an ass, I still cared for my pack mates, her death would brake Jacob down completely.

As her head finally hit the surface, I felt her relax completely in my arms. Great, now I'll have to perform a CPR on her as well. I dragged her lifeless body out of the water, kneeled at her side and started doing compressions. After counting to thirty I brought my lips to hers and exaled into her mouth. Her lips felt so cold, I wondered if that was just because of my own heat or I had something to worry about.

„Breath, damn it! Breath!" With eagerness I started the compressions again. I thought I saw her wince right before I brought my lips down to hers again. As I moved away, I felt her inhale on her own. Well, at least she was breathing, Jacob wouldn't have a reason to kill me after all. I helped her into a more comfortable position, I felt her relaxe, obviously she felt good in my warm arms.

„Jake?"

„It's Paul. Jacob's on his way."

I guess it took her by surprise, because her eyes popped open instantly. I've never actually noticed the color of her eyes before, they seemed so familiar, the same warm chocolate color as mine, only I found hers much more welcoming. She held so much warmth in her eyes, as if it was compensating the coldness of her body. Her eyes wide as two buttons held my gaze and wouldn't let go. Hell, I didn't want them to let go, I would gladly spend my life staring into these orbs of sweetness and love. I was sure she didn't believe it was me holding her, while I couldn't believe my own luck to be the one to hold her. I felt so thankful to the red leech for choosing this day and this moment to play with us, to that prick Sam for making me follow the bitch, to Jacob who with his little Alpha voice made me do it. I couldn't imagine what would happen with me if I actually would've let her die.

As all these thoughts rushed through my mind, I kept staring at her. The surprise in her eyes made me think about being surprised myself. Why the hell would I feel so happy about her being alive? Why the hell would I care more that I had to; I had to make sure she was alive, well, she was, I should just let go, be Paul and leave, letting Jacob take care of the.. of her. What was it, that didn't even let me call her names? As her warm orbs kept burning into mine, I realized.

„Fuck." I muttered under my breath, not knowing if she heard me.

„Bella!" I've never felt happier to hear Jacob Black come along. I had to get away from that charming gaze of hers. He came and took her from my arms. „Thanks Paul, you can head out to Harry's place now, Sam needs you. I'll take care of this." This time I didn't even scowl at the shadow of Alpha in his voice. I just ran into the woods and phased. I needed to talk to Sam, now.

So, what do you think? :)
