Okay, okay... I know.

But I really wanted to upload both chapters. I can't help it, I really wanted to know what you guys think and I thought since I didn't upload for so long I would do two. But I still stand on the 110 review thing... maybe 115. Because kids, I am up to 22!

Please, do tell me what you think and if I should keep writing. :P

Love you everyone. You're all so damn great! ^/_/^

Chapter 17

I'm a monster

-Emma's point of view-

The strange man slowly strolled closer with a cold smirk upon his pale face.

"Stay away" I said nervously backing away.

With a very loud growl, the huge wolf stepped forward, snapping his oversized teeth wildly towards the two strange men.

"So, we are dealing with one Denzel" The one behind the other said.

"But where are the rest of the filthy mutts?" The one still slowly wondering closer smiled; his chilling hungry red eyes clearly fixed on me.

So many questions ran through my mind but only one thing was important at the time, the wolf.

I looked over to the wolf. His oddly familiar brown eyes were cold and angry, my face dropped and sadness crept up my body in an unwelcoming shiver.

"I can smell the fresh blood running through your tended veins. It's such a pity to waste such a pretty face. You would have made a beautiful vampire" Denzel chuckled.

The huge wolfs growls deepened, but that wasn't what took me by surprise. I couldn't believe what I had just heard come out of the man's mouth.

"D-did you just say vampire?" I questioned out loud, strutting in disbelief.

The wolf winced, his ears dropped and he looked down.

"So you're furry friend over there didn't tell you about vampires?" Denzel questioned, laughing with the other man who still remained nameless.

"Don't toy with the poor girl, Denzel. You know we don't have much time before his friends crash the party" The other said pointing towards the wolf.

Confusion took over my mind, why are they talking about the wolf like he's human? And what the hell is with this vampire stuff?, I thought to myself confused.

They both continued to argue with each other. As they continued, they looked more and more like vampires. There pale skin, the dark red hungry eyes, the charmingly seductive tone of voice. Everything started to add up and I didn't like it where it was heading.

Vampires are not real, are they? I thought to myself as I looked at the two grinning men.

"Fine Seddrick, I won't play with the girls fragile little mind anymore... you always take the fun out of everything" He said playing with a small metal ball "I will get it over and done with" Denzel replied as he rolled his eyes.

"Why do you get the first bite?" Seddrick said stopping Denzel from walking any closer.

The wolf barked, stepping more towards me. Something told me he didn't like what they were saying.

"Because I am stronger and I found this one a while ago" Denzel replied stepping towards me again.

The wolf growled but they didn't seem to be paying attention to him.

"I am older and closer with the Annabelle" Seddrick said spinning Denzel around, stopping him from coming any closer again. Denzel was amused by his actions.

I felt my legs start to grow weak. Everything was running through my mind at once, I started to get light headed.

"I don't care" Denzel said angrily.

The writing on the necklace around Seddricks neck started to glow as Denzel raised his hand. It looked just like the rock that had hit me in the head and also the small ball he had put into his pocket. Seddrick grabbed at it and tired to get it off, but Denzel just laughed and moved his hand towards a tree.

"I get the first bite, right?" Denzel said smug with himself as Seddrick crashed into a tree and fell to the ground.

"If you wish, sir" Seddrick hissed.

"Do I really have to teach you this over and over again?" Denzel questioned sarcastically.

"Teach me what?" Seddrick replied coldly, lifting himself up and sat against the tree.

Denzel laughed evilly. The wolf looked to me and slowly rubbed his long snout against my arm. Never taking his guard down, he let me know everything was going to be ok.

"That I own you and I control everything you do" Denzel replied to Seddrick.

Seddrick laughed, "You're just a puppet in Annabelle's game"

Denzel didn't like what he said; he pulled out the rock and threw it at Seddrick. Seddrick quickly caught it but his ribs looked hurt, he held them and moaned in pain.

"Pathetic" Denzel chuckled.

He turned around and faced me. His eyes were a thirsty blood red. He scanned me up and down, sending an uncomfortable chill down my spine.

"Now, where were we?" He said walking closer.

The wolf stepped almost on front of me, so close I could feel the warmth waving off his huge frame.

"Just leave, I'm warning you" I threatened, but it sounded empty and scared.

"And if I don't?" He laughed, rubbing his hands together.

I couldn't answer; I was frozen all the way through.

"Let me guess, you will get you big bad wolf on to me?" He raised an eyebrow, "Don't be silly my dear, your wolf couldn't hurt me if your life depended on it... like it does now" He said coming closer.

I gasped; I was surely about to die.

The wolf snapped his snarling jaws at Denzel; the horrible sound pierced my ears. I stepped back scared and covered them.

Then everything happened so slowly.

As I stepped back the wolf ran at Denzel. I fell to the ground and watched as Denzel pulled his arm back. Denzel hissed at him, his teeth bared as well. The wolf jumped with his paws in front, the razor sharp claws heading towards Denzel. But Denzel brought his arm back up and smacked the wolf across the muzzle, deflecting the attack.

My heart pounded in my chest. I went to scream but nothing came out.

The wolf winced in pain and was sent flying back into a tree. The look of smugness on Denzel's face quickly changed. He turned and ran, the speed was unhuman.

But he was quickly followed by five massive wolves. They all ran past me, there speed matched the so called vampire's. They were just as big and beautiful as the reddish brown one.

With deep snarls and growls they chased -whatever the man was- into the forest.

I put my hand on my chest and sat on my knees, my breathing was heavy and I felt like I was about to pass out. I looked to the ground and tired to gather what had just happened.

I heard a small yelp. I looked up to find the russet coloured wolf limping into the forest.

"Wait" I called after him as I struggled to get to my feet.

I followed him. I wanted to know if he was ok, I don't know why but I just felt I needed to be with the wolf.

I walked into the forest and through the dark trees until I came to him. But it wasn't the wolf anymore. There sat against a big tree was a boy, his arm was bleeding and he was naked.

I stepped closer, tears welled up in my eyes and my heart thumped hard in my chest.

"Jacob?" I questioned no more than a whisper.

He looked up to me quickly; he covered himself in a pair of cut off jeans. I stared at him, confused and in shock.

What is going on? I thought to myself as Jacob clenched his arm in pain.

"Stay away... I'm a monster" He said sadly.

"No, you're not" I replied as I swallowed the lump in my throat.

He looked up to me, "Can you turn around so I can get dressed, please Em" he asked and I nodded.

I turned around waited for him to tell me it was okay to look.

"Done" He said in a soft voice and I turned around.

He stood in front of my shirtless, his hair was over most of his face but I could still see the pained look that played across it. But something else was laced through it, anger. He sat back down.

"Jake" I said as I walked over and sat next to him.

He looked away from me.

"I understand if you run" he replied.

I felt like I wanted to, I mean Jacob was something that shouldn't exist, something that was only meant to be in books, stories and movies. But I loved him and I couldn't just leave him. He needs someone right now, someone that understood everything and wouldn't leave.

Sarah was right about everything; all the stories and legends were true.

"I'm not going anywhere" I said as I took a deep breath and put my hand on his shoulder.

He was hot, burning up would have been an understatement.

He didn't look at me, instead he sniffed like he was about to cry.

"I promise" I whispered as I put a finger under his chin and pulled his face towards me.

He closed his eyes and pulled me on to his lap and hugged me tightly.

"I'm scared Em, I don't know what's happened to me" he choked out.

He put his head on my neck and rested it on my shoulder. I held on to him tighter. I felt the pain he was feeling, all his sadness was somehow mine now. I was feeling everything he did and I just wanted to take it away.

"I had to talk to someone; I just had to see you. You're the only person who would understand. Who wouldn't just leave me" he continued.

"Jacob, I won't ever leave you" I replied softly, running my fingers through his long black hair.

He looked up from my neck but still didn't make eye contact. It was like he was scared to.

"I don't deserve someone like you Emma. You're so important to me, I don't know what I would do if you left" he said, but something was different about his voice. It was husky and ruff.

I wanted to tell him how I felt about him so badly, but deep down I knew I wasn't the only one in his heart. Bella shared a great part of it, more than I did. My heart ripped, it hurt to think about her with him.

My train of thought was broken by a warm feeling on my cheek. Jacob had just kissed me.

"Emma, can I tell you something?" he whispered after he pulled away.

I nodded, "Yes, of course" I replied as I felt a small blush crept up my cheeks.

He didn't answer; we kind of just sat there for a little while in silence. He cradled me in his arms softly singing a Quileute lullaby as I ran my fingers through his hair.

After a while he cleared his throat.

"I'm not sure how to explain this, well because I really don't know why but..." he paused.

He rested his head against mine and took a deep breath.

"Something is pulling me closer to you Em. I don't know why but I just have to be near you always now. I just want to protect you. It's weird it's like a chine has bound me to you... and I like it." He explained.

He kind of lost me but I nodded my head like I understood. He laughed and smiled a little.

"Sounds crazy hey, but I just feel it in me. I'm not sure what it means though" he smiled and kissed me on the cheek again.

I took a deep breath; it was time to tell Jacob that I love him. I thought about it in my head, how I was going to say it or how he would react.

"Jacob" I said breaking the silence.

"Yes beautiful?" he smiled, my heart almost exploded.

"I-..." I said but couldn't find the words.

I took another deep breath and tired and calm my nerves.

"I have wanted to tell you this for a long time... Jacob, I-"

"Emma, are you ok?" a familiar voice boom from in front of us, interrupting me.

Paul walked over, his face hard but full of worry. He looked tired, like he had just run a mile. But as soon as he saw who I was with, although he didn't seem surprised at all, he stopped as soon as Jacob caught his eye.

"I see you have finely hit manhood huh Jacob" he teased, but it was surprisingly not in a harsh voice like he normally spoke towards Jacob.

I stood up and wrapped my arms around myself, Jake followed by standing up too.

"Paul?" I questioned confused.

He smiled at me and walked over, picked me up and bear hugged me. I heard a low growl come from Jacobs's chest.

"So... I guess you know what we are now?" Paul said in my ear.

I nodded, although it was still sinking in.

"I'm not sure how to react though; I mean I have always loved Sarah's and Billy's stories but I never ever thought they could be this real" I replied a little nervous.

Although they were still just Paul and Jacob and probably Sam, Embry, Tyler and Jared, I still couldn't help but be a little scared of what they were.

"Its ok princess, you will get use to it soon. As much as I hate to say this... maybe you and Jacob could help each other out, you know... help each other through this time of need" he replied putting me down.

I uncontrollably raised one of my eyebrows surprised; it was very odd of Paul to speak like this. For as long as I have known him and have seen how he talks to people, this was very weird for Paul.

I felt Jacob put his arms around me.

"When I'm on patrol that is" Paul finished with his normal hard look upon his face.

It made me feel a bit better, but I still needed a lot of time to get use to the idea that most of my friends are werewolves.

I felt Jacob rest his head against mine and slip his hand around my ribs. Paul gave him a jealous look. There was a silence between us which made me feel uncomfortable.

"Wait... does that make those guys..." I questioned but couldn't seem to say the word.

"Yep, they are vampires. Dirty bloodsuckers" Paul said angrily.

Jacob held me tighter as if to say 'I'm here to protect you'.

"Come on Emmy, let's get you home" Jacob said as he let go of my ribs.

"I don't think so" Paul said coldly.

Jacob grabbed my hand.

"I'm taking her home whether you like it or not" Jacob said just as cold.

He was different, a lot angrier then the Jacob I saw yesterday was.

Paul snarled.

"Sam wants a word with you; it's the order he gave... which you will follow" Paul spat back.

A howl filled the silent night sky and both Jacob and Paul looked up, like they understand what it meant.

"Emmy, I will come and check up on you later, okay" Jacob said as he took his gaze from the night sky to me.

He hugged me once again, "I... I need to go for a while, but I promise I will come back" he whispered into my ear. It made me shiver.

"He's at Emily's, just listen to his voice like before, he will tell you where to go" Paul explained to Jacob. I had no clue what they were talking about.

Jake let go and headed for the dark forest. I yawned as I watched him disappear.

"Tired princess?" Paul asked me.

"Yeah, a little" I replied rubbing my eyes.

"Come here" he chuckled with a smiled across his face.

He picked me up and started walking home. His skin was as warm as normal, but I missed Jacobs's arms more.

"Paul" I asked as I yawned again.

"Yes baby" he answered, weaving in and out of trees.

"Why didn't you tell me about, you know, being a werewolf?" I asked curiously as I rested my head against his chest.

He paused for a moment; I could hear his heart beat which was soothing.

"I wanted to, but I was ordered not to, we all were. When orders are made they must be followed. It's a wolf thing" he said a little sad, which wasn't normal for Paul.

"Oh" I replied, closing my eyes.

He opened the front door and walked to my bed room. Paul sat me down then sat next to me.

"Paul, why are you a werewolf?" I questioned.

A hurt and a little angry look appears upon his face.

"We didn't choose to be like this princess, it's because of the Cullens" He explained.

"The Cullens?" I asked as I got under the covers and sat against the wall.

"Yeah Emma, when the Cullens are in Forks there will be werewolves in La Push. Something about them makes us like this" he answered.

He didn't like the Cullens; I don't think anyone in La Push did.

"Do you kill people?" I asked curiously.

"No!" he replied strongly.

"Of course we don't, we protect the humans unlike those fucked up leeches who feed on them. If it wasn't for us, most of Forks would fall victim to them" he said almost yelling.

He started to shake and from experience with him shaking, it wasn't good.

"Paul stop" I said putting my hand on his.

"I don't think you do, I was just checking" I explained and he slowly stopped shaking.

"I'm sorry" he whispered and out his head on my lap.

"Don't be sorry Paul; it's not your fault" I replied.

There was a silence; it was the first time I had ever seen Paul like this. He looked so tired and worn out. He didn't have his wall up; he wasn't the Paul he shows around everyone. For once, he was the one who wasn't always in protective mode.

"Emma" he questioned with a big yawn.

"Yeah Paul" I replied, softly laughing at it.

"Can I sleep in here tonight?" he asked looking up at me with puppy dog eyes.

"If you want to" I replied with a smile.

He moved and got into the bed. I made room for him but left quite a big gap between us. At first it was awkward but we soon started to chat about random things. I could tell he was trying to keep my mind off of everything that happened tonight.

We laughed about the time Jared ate Sam's dinar and Emily knocked him on the head with a wooden spoon. We stopped and looked at each other. Something was troubling him.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly, my eyes started to get really sleepy.

"Just thinking about something" he replied, so were he's.

"About?" I asked curiously.

"You and me" he replied. His voice loving and warm.

He gave me a smile that I had never seen before. It was warm, caring and I thought it was a little cute. I smiled back.

"What about us?" I asked again curiously, snuggling down into the blanket.

"You're so cute when you're sleepy" he teased.

I rolled my eyes.

"So, what about us then huh?" I said changing the subject back.

"Nothing, it's a story for another say sweetheart" he said yawning before he closed his eyes.

I dropped it; he was really tired and doesn't get much sleep so I let him have some rest. He seemed to need it a lot.
