Hey everyone! Sorry this update took a few days. Anyway though, here's chapter six, enjoy! Thanks to all my reviewers too! Good reviews help a lot! : )

EPOV:

I walked into the bar with high hopes that I could find a poor, innocent young woman to get Bella off my mind. I would seduce her, then I would drain her blood. I had my pick of several and finally selected a cute blonde sitting alone at the bar. "Hello." I said, sitting on the stool next to her and smiling. She smiled back at me and returned my greeting.

"Hi. My name's Jessica."

"Edward." I told her. "Can I buy you a drink?"

"Sure. I'll have a martini."

I waved the bartender over. "Martini for the lady and I'll have a glass of red wine."

He nodded and left. "So," I went on. "Tell me about yourself."


BPOV:

The next morning, as I got ready for school, I looked in the mirror at the bite on my neck. It didn't seem to be healing. I decided to cover it up with a turtleneck sweater for now. The weather was cold and rainy as it usually was, so a sweater would be appropriate and no one would question it. I almost expected Edward to show up with some evil plan for today, but he wasn't here, even after I'd double checked. Maybe he'd turn up at school.

I ate breakfast and hurried out the door to school. My friends all asked how I was doing and how my dad was. I told them that we were both doing fine and that Charlie had recovered fully.

I thought about Edward mostly and wondered when he would turn up again. When I hadn't seen him by my fourth hour class I really started to wonder. He could definitely find evil things for me to do around here.

About halfway throught my fifth hour class, I was called to the office. They'd gathered my homework for the week I'd missed. When I walked through the door, there was a really tall kid blocking my way to the receptionist's desk. "Escuse me?" I said and tapped his shoulder.

"Oh, sorry." He said, and turned to face me. "Bells?" He exclaimed, surprised.

I stared up at him for a moment. "Jake?" I asked. "Is that you?"

"Yeah." He smiled.

"Did you um.. have a growth spurt or something?"

He chuckled. "You might say that. Hey, what's that?" He pointed to my neck. To the exact spot where Edward had bitten me.

I glanced down. Shit! My sweater had slipped, revealing just the smallest bit of the bite mark. "Oh, that? It-it's nothing." I told him, trying to cover it up again.

"Bella's got a hickey." He teased and reached over to pull the neck of the sweater down again. He studied the mark for a minute, scowling. "Bella? Where'd you get this?" He asked, concerned.

A-a guy." I said, not entirely lying.

He bent down close to my neck and sniffed the mark. "Bella, do you even know what this is?" He seemed worried now. "Look, I'm gonna see if they'll let you leave with me. You have to come with me right now, okay?"

"Why?" I asked him. "I feel fine."

"Bell, you're gonna have to trust me, ok?"

I stared at him questioningly.

The receptionist returned to her desk and I heard Jake ask if he could take me home. Her told her I wasn't feeling well and that he was a friend of the family. She said that as long as I could confirm what he was saying, I could go with him. I told her that he was telling the truth and faked feeling a little queasy. Jake and I left the school and he took me to his car.

After I was in the car I asked him what was going on and why he was so worried about a little bite mark. He just said that I was in a lot of trouble and that his dad would be able explain everything.

We drove all the way over to La Push where Jacob lived with Billy. The whole time I was wondering why a tiny bite was so bad. It was just Edward that had bitten me. And besides, it would heal soon. I didn't understand what the big deal was.

We arrived at Jake's house and he hurried me in to see a waiting Billy in the living room. He'd called him on his cell phone and explained the situation.

Once we'd arrived, Billy demanded that I show him the bite. I pulled my sweater down and showed him. He examined it carefully, as Jacob had done. He turned to Jacob and said, "Call Sam and the others. This is serious." Turning back to me, he asked, "Do you know the being that bit you Bella?" When I didn't answer, he asked, "Do you know what he was?"

Jacob had left to call Sam. I didn't know who Sam or the "others" were that Billy had mentioned, but they were starting to creep me out. "Look," I said. "It's about time for me to be getting home..." I edged closer to the door.

"Bella, this is serious." He stated, looking directly into my eyes and sending a shiver down my spine. "Sit down. We need to talk.


Over the next hour, Billy explained to me about the demons of Hell. He also explained why he thought I was in danger and what the bite on my neck meant. Jacob's friends arrived one by one. They also sat and listened to Billy as he told his tale.

Once everyone had arrived and Jacob introduced Bella, Billy began a new story.


"And it is said that whenever evil threatens us again, the decendants shall also take on the form of the wolf to protect us." Billy concluded. He looked directly at me then. "And so, now we know why the wolf's blood has become active once again. And in these seven youths before you, Isabella Swan, it flows just as powerfully as it ever has."

I gasped loudly. "Jake! You're a-a we-werewolf!"

"Guilty." He said, grinning.

"They have changed so they can protect us all. But mostly you Bella. For you are in the greatest danger." Billy told me.

"No. That can't be true!" I exclaimed. "He said he only bit me to mark me! I-it'll be gone soon!"

"I'm afraid not. The bite will not fade for some time. You see, Bella, it is the mark of a mate."

So, did you like? Please review and let me know! :)
