Two weeks goes by and I call Jacob's house everyday but Billy keep saying he has the flu. I am starting to worry. I did not think the flu usually lasted this long.I was getting skeptical too because Billy always seemed in a hurry to get me off the phone and kept insisting that I don't come over…I have had my flu shot and I just wanted to visit for a minute or so and give him some soup, my grandma's recipe that should would make when I would get sick. Anyway since when could you catch the flu through the phone? Not being able to talk to him at all was really making wondering if they were hiding something.

I walk outside and sit on the steps. It was Saturday and I had been inside all day. I did not have much to clean since I clean everyday now. So I watched TLC all day to keep me distracted. I though got bored quickly.

I look out into the woods that Edward vanished in after he broke my heart into and I could feel that pain in my heart come back stronger than ever. I was scare I was about to go back into my zombie state. I just missed him so much. He was so much part of my life for the past year and now he is gone.

I decide to take a walk into the forest. There was a walking trail, so I figure I would be safe as long as I did not leave the path. I walk slowly into the forest and it was kind of creepy, I could hear several animals in the background. I finally though came to where there was a clearing. It was not our meadow but was a green and lush with grass. I lie down and look into the sky that was actually kind of clear today. It was peaceful here.

"Well hello Bella…"

I sat up startled. I was not expecting anyone to be around. My heart was beating rapidly.

I slowly get up and turn around.

"Laurent" I say….

I saw his tall figure standing a few feet away from me and he was sparkling slightly. He though did not look as beautiful as Edward had when he showed me his true self…he seemed dangerous. I could see it in his blood red eyes.

"Nice to run into you here…"

Something about the way he smiled made me feel uneasy. Last time I had heard, he was living with the Denali's and dating Irina.

I try to sound calm, "How come you are here in Forks…"

"To see you, my dear."

I felt like little red riding hood and he was the big bad wolf.

I gulp, "Oh…why?"

Before I could blink he was inches from my face and he had a hold to my arm.

"Victoria sent me. But you are lucky she sent me. You know why?" He whispers in my ear, his finger graze across my neck bringing shivers down my spine.

I close my eyes tight. This was it…this was the end. I could not form words right now. I was breathing heavily and felt as if I could faint.

He says, "Well I will tell you Bella. Victoria wanted to make you to die slowly and painful for revenge. Though I was never like her or James, I did not like to play with my food...I will make sure you go quickly and painlessly."

I could feel his breath get closer to my neck. Tears start to fall from my eyes. I was not ready to go…

I then felt him lose his grip on me and I fall to my knees and then I hear a blood screeching scream. I open my eyes and see Laurent's limp body in Carlisle's arms. Carlisle did not look like his normal calm collective self…he looked liked a….vampire. His eyes were dark and his face was harden.

I then hear growls come from behind me. I look back and see 3 huge wolves come out they look at me but pass me as they growled at Carlisle. Carlisle stares them down before he throws Laurent to them. They drag Laurent into the woods. Something about those wolves told me they were not normal wolves; they were something else from another world that mortals do not know exist.

I was not able to move and Carlisle walks to me and scoops me into his arms. He then runs vampire speed; I closed my eyes and bury my face into his chest until he finally slowed down. I open my eyes and see he was entering his house.

He lays me on the couch.

Carlisle kneels down and I could see the concern on his face, he looked normal again, he eyes back to its golden color, "Are you alright Bella?"

I nod, "Just a little in shock."

He says, "How about I make you some tea."

I nod and he disappears in the kitchen. I take my jacket off and throw it on the arm of the couch.

He comes in within a few minutes with a cup of hot tea.

I smile, "Thank you. So much Carlisle…"

My eyes gaze up and down him as he turns and walks towards the closet. He was a little more disheveled than normally. I had never seen him without his shirt tucked in until now. I liked the more relaxed looking Carlisle.

He then wraps a blanket around me and sits next to me on the other side of the couch, leaving a space between us. He asks, "Comfortable."

I nod, "Yes thank you." As I take a sip of my tea.

I lean over and put my tea on the coffee table and gaze around the room. It looked empty. A lot of the furniture was gone. I figured Esme brought it with her; a lot of it was antiques from her family in her human life.

I ask, "How did you know I was in the woods?"

Carlisle says, "Alice called me. I almost thought I was too late…"

I nod letting him know I understood.

I look at him and smile weakly, "Thank you."

He gives me one of his dazzling smiles, "My pleasure. I would never let anything happen to you."

Just looking at him made my heart beat faster, he had some sort of effect on me. I just wanted to leap into his arms but I manage to contain myself.

I hesitate but decide to bring up what happen in the doctor's office the other day. It is all I can think of and needed to know if I was over analyzing the whole situation…maybe he was not trying to kiss me. Maybe I just imagine the whole thing…that would make more sense.

As I fiddle with the edge of my blanket I ask, "So um. What happen the other day in the doctor's office…or almost happen… before the nurse came in?"

I could not bring myself to look up at him and see how he reacted to the question.

His voice was calm as usual, "Well Bella. What do you think may have almost happened?"

I could feel myself blush and I shrug bringing my head up to look at him. He was staring at me and I try taking a deep breath. I say, "It seems like that we may have almost kissed…" I look back down at the blanket and laugh nervously, "But I am probably wrong…it's ridiculous…."

I heard Carlisle let out a small laugh, "It is not as ridiculous as you may think, Bella."

I look back at him and our eyes lock. I try keeping my breathing steady and saying, "It's not?"

Carlisle shakes his head slowly, "I think I may be as confused as you are about what had almost happened."

I stared at him in shock what seemed like forever. I wanted to taste him so bad. I stared at his perfect lips and notice his eyes were getting darker again.

Before I could stop myself, I pull the blanket off me and I move towards Carlisle and put both hands on his face and brought my lips to his.

He instantly kissed me back. It was passionate and not as guarded as Edward's had always been. His hands grab my waist and gently push me down on the couch so he was now propped above me. My shirt had hitch above my bellybutton and his hands were now on my bare waist, which brought a shiver down my spine. My hands guided down to his waist and push them under his shirt as I explored his perfect sculpted back. I felt his tongue dart out and lick my lips and I gladly open them for him to enter. It was glorious to taste him.

I let out a moan and I could hear him softly growl.

We did this seem for hours but probably was only for a few minutes. It made my body do things that I was not quite sure I understood. I did know though I would probably need a change of underwear…

Carlisle pulled away suddenly and he was breathing as hard as me. I did not understand why he would be since he did not need to breathe. His forehead propped on mine, "Emmett is here."

My eyes widen and he pulls himself off me and I sit up and try taming my hair and pulling my shirt down. I look up at Carlisle he had tucked his shirt in and looked like his normal put together self. He was standing at the kitchen's doorway.

"HELLO?" Emmett says as his voice echoes.

Carlisle say's, "We are in here, Emmett."

I stand up and before I could even blink Emmett had me in a bear hug and my feet were hanging off the floor.

He says, "How are you little sis?"

I try to act as normal as possible, "Good."

He nods and then puts me down and looks over at Carlisle.

"I would have been here to help but I did not even know Laurent was out to get her until like a few minutes ago."

Carlisle was much better at keeping his composure. He did not look as bewilder as I did.

Carlisle says, "Really Alice did not know until minutes before Laurent found Bella. I luckily got there quick enough."

Carlisle then shares a glance with me that I am sure Emmett did not notice.

Emmett sighs, "Well two vampires down and one more to go..."

Carlisle mouth turns into a line, "I am afraid Victoria may be a little more difficult to get. She sent Laurent to kill Bella…for revenge. I am sure we have made her even angrier….hopefully Alice will see her plans before they happen…"

While Carlisle was talking I notice he was absently fiddling with his ring on his left hand. It made me stomach turn upside down. I am a horrible person. What was I thinking? For crying out loud he is a married man.

At that time my phone rang and I jump. I knew by the ringtone that it was my dad. I grab my jacket off the arm of the couch and get my phone.

Carlisle and Emmett were still in conversation.

"Hello."

I was worry that he was home and wondering why I wasn't and my truck was.

"Hey Bells. Just letting you know I will be getting off of work soon. Do you need me to pick up anything?"

I say, "No. I think I am good."

My dad, "Says alright. Well I should be home in about half an hour."

I say, "Alright. Bye."

I stand up and put my jacket on.

Carlisle and Emmett both turn their heads towards me.

I say, "Can someone drive me home. My dad will be home soon."

Emmett says with a huge grin, "I will. Give us time to catch up."

He turns to Carlisle, "Pops can I borrow your car. I just don't want to risk Bella having to climb into my jeep with her clumsiness." I roll my eyes at him. Even though his jeep was pretty high and it was pretty much likely I would slip or something and hurt myself.

Carlisle chuckles and grabs his keys out of his pocket and throws them to Emmett.

I could feel myself blush when I look over to Carlisle, "Bye Carlisle. I guess I will see you later."

Carlisle smiles, "Yes, hope to see you soon."

I then follow Emmett out to the garage and get into Carlisle's Mercedes. The car smelled like him as I breath in the sweet and musky scent.

On our way to my house, which may I add he was going an ungodly speed; I was staring blankly out the window in thought. Emmett was singing to some Aerosmith song, trying to get me to join in. Though, I was too much in my own thoughts. How could I kiss Carlisle and why can I not stop thinking about it? It is wrong but for some reason it felt so right.

Emmett looks at me noticing I was in my own world.

"Hey what are you thinking about?"

I look over at him and say, "Oh um nothing. Just been a weird week, I guess."

"Just vampire attacks…that should be normal for you by now." He joked.

I laugh. He made it so easy to make me comfortable.

He smirks, "So you have a boyfriend now? You know anybody I need to go and check out and see if they are good enough for my little sis."

Other than making out with your father?

I shake my head, "No. I mean I have a guy friend. Jacob. But he is just a friend."

Emmett ask, "Jacob who?"

I say, "Jacob Black…he lives in LA Push."

"Oh that dog…" he seemed to spit out and then bites his tongue. I knew that their family were not welcome on La Push but I never knew why and no one ever explained why when I would try to ask.

I ask, "I don't get why you all hate each other…what made them ban you from their reservation?"

Emmett says, "They have legends about vampires and that is what they think we are…"

I say, "Well if you guys have been figured out by them, then how come you all stayed?"

Emmett responds as he pulls into my driveway, "They are different than the normal society…but that is all that I am in liberty to say about them."

I look at him skeptically and he lets out a booming laugh, "Bella you will not get it out of me. I cannot tell you why they are different or then we will have to leave for good…maybe you should ask him."

I shake my head and start to open the car door, "I have not even talked to him for two weeks. Apparently he has the flu. But who has the flu for that long?"

Something seems to register in Emmett's head and he says, "Maybe it will be better if you stay away from them."

I raise an eyebrow, "Why? I have gotten the flu shot."

Emmett says, "The flu shot will not protect you from rabies…" He then seems to chuckle at his own joke.

I look at him confused, "Rabies? What does that have to do with anything…."

I then shake my head and say, "You know what never mind….I'm confused and I doubt you are going to explain it to me."

Emmett grins and softly pats me on the shoulder, "You are a smart girl. Now just stay away from them for a while…"

I roll my eyes. I am sure he is just overacting about something.

I sigh, "Thanks for bringing me home."

Emmett gives me a bear hug before I get out and he responds, "Thanks for humoring me. I miss my blushing little sis…"

I slam the door and smile while I roll my eyes. He waits till I am inside the house before zooming out. I close the door behind me and slid down to the floor. The images of me with Carlisle kept playing over and over in my mind and did weird things to my body.

The good sane Bella would make sure to not go any further with whatever just had happen…but the impulsive Bella wanted him….bad.

Then I heard my phone ring. I pull it out of my jacket pocket. The Caller ID said, "Jacob".

I mumble before flipping it open, "So now decides to call me."

"Hello?"

Jacob sighs in relief, "I have called like four times already. I am glad you are alive." He sounded annoyed.

I was not in the mood, I say frankly, "Well nice to talk to you too Jacob…it has only been two weeks."

Jacob mumbles, "Well I had the flu…"

I pull myself off the floor and head towards the kitchen, "You cannot catch the flu through the phone. I could not even talk to you on the phone…tell what is going on?"

Jacob says, "I can't"

I ask, "Why?"

Jacob pleads "Please Bella. Don't ask…"

I take an exaggerated breath pulling out the chicken I left in the fridge to defrost, "I just wish you wouldn't lie to me"

Jacob says agitated, "Lie? Yeah that seems something you are very good at…I know your little secret."

My heart felt as if it went into my throat. Did he know I kiss the town's doctor?…wait how would he even know….Bella stop you are being paranoid. I told myself.

I say acting oblivious, "I don't know what you mean."

Jacob laughs humorlessly, "Yeah I think you very well know....the Cullen's."

I say as I start to season the chicken, "Yeah I know your people do not like the Cullen's but that does not mean I have to be thrown in the middle, and they are good people."

Jacob says, "Bella how can you even consider them as people, you know what they are….bloodsuckers."

I almost burn myself on the oven when I put the chicken in when I heard him say "bloodsuckers". I knew there were legends on the rez about vampires but I thought it was just the older members who believed in those. Jacob told me himself he thought they were just legends.

I try to sound oblivious again, "What? I don't know what you are talking about."

Jacob said laughing humorlessly, "Do not start with all this BS Bella. You very well know what I am talking about….the Cullen's are vampires and they could kill you just like that bloodsucker in the woods that almost had you for a meal."

"Wh..What?…How did you know about that?" I ask shocked.

Jacob was silent.

I shake my head, "Oh yeah you can't tell me, right. This is part of your big secret." I was irritated.

Jacob says in a low growl, "Bella you need to stay away from them."

I say frankly, "No. They are my friends…"

Jacob says, "Vampires are not capable of being friends…"

I say, "At least they let me visit them….unlike some so call friends."

I could hear Jacob breathing hard and he says, "Bye Bella."

Before I could say bye he hung up. I throw my phone on the counter and let out an agitated sigh. I wanted to know what was going on.

Then the story that Jacob told me a year ago at La Push before I knew what the Cullen's came to me, I remember him saying something about being decedents of wolves….

It clicked; the wolves in the forest were part of the tribe somehow. I have been to the reservation a billion times how come I never saw any giant wolves there? Were the wolves like past ancestors…or are they like trained pets and Jacob saw everything looking into the woods? I

I had a lot of questions. I was determined for them to be answered. I planned on making a trip to La Push.

A.N: Hope you enjoy the little Carlisle and Bella make out. We will see what Carlisle's reaction towards the kiss in the next chapter and what happens when Bella puts the puzzles together and finds out what Jacob really is…

And again thanks for the reviews, I really do appreciate them! :-)
