AN: Sooo sorry I took so long to post this. I know I said I would post it up like in two weeks but I didn't realize that I would get a really serious case of writers block. I don't feel like completely satisfied with this chapter but this is what I got. I can't tell you how many times I started writing and then deleted everything and started over. This chapter almost killed me. Anyway, enjoy and Review please.

AN2: oh and the parenthesis and stars: (**blah blah blah**) is taken from the book. I just changed what Ron said a little.

Jacob ran ahead of the others as soon Alice said the words that he wished wouldn't be true. They couldn't be too late. He could still make it in time to save Draco. He had to save him.

Jacob ran as fast as he could on all four legs, the only one who seemed to manage to keep up was Edward. He ran straight into the clearing where there stood the 52 death eaters. He growled and attacked the nearest one shredding him to pieces in seconds. Edward did the same to another; he grabbed one and tore him to pieces with his hands. Two were dead but now every death eater had noticed them.

"Kill them!" Bellatrix screeched as she rushed in front of her gruesome and twisted lord. "Don't let them reach the dark lord before the ritual is complete!"

Jacob and Edward began dodging spells from 50 death eaters forcing them to retreat a bit.

"Jacob, Edward!" Harry called out to them as he and the others reached them. "Find Draco, we'll do what we can to distract them."

"I hope Sirius gets here before long." Ron said and flashed a worried look to Paul's wolf form.

Jacob watched as the three wizards ran into the fight and the Cullen's and his pack followed behind them. Jacob watched for a moment as the spells were cast and everyone began to dodge and attack. He then ran, followed by Edward, around to try to get closer to where Bellatrix stood guard in front of her lord and Draco. He could see Bellatrix standing in front of Voldemort who stood as if his spine was twisted. Then he lowered his gaze to Voldemorts feet where Draco lay, still. He can't be too late!

"What is this?" said the dark, almost gurgling voice of the dark lord. He looked down at himself and noticed that his body was twisted.

"My lord," Bellatrix bowed to him, "the ritual is yet to be completed. We've been attacked; you must eat before they can reach you. Eat to gain your full power and body." She motioned to the ground and Voldemorts red eyes followed, landing on the still body of Draco.

Draco's eyes where slightly opened and they were completely overtaken by a black darkness. He was still alive but barely.

As soon as Voldemort laid red gleaming eyes on Draco, he recalled when he had done the spell to use Draco's body as a vessel in case he was to die. It was a spell that created something similar to a horcrux but not quite the same. His soul, should he die, would be transported into the vessel that had to be of flesh and blood—in this case Draco—and he would be able to return to his former self as long as the ritual was completed and he were to take the vessel and consume it, body and soul.

His throat burn with hunger and his soul demanded the body that was to give it power again, so the dark lord—who wasn't yet back to his former, powerful body—kneeled down, prepared to tear at the pale flesh. His mouth opened in preparation to eat, his sharp small teeth gleaming and his eyes crazed over.

Jacob heard Bellatrix tell Voldemort to eat and then saw him kneel down preparing to take a bite out of Draco. Jacob pushed his paws to go faster than ever before and just as Voldemorts teeth scraped along Draco's neck, Jacob purposely crashed his body against Voldemorts, knocking the twisted creature away from Draco.

"My lord!" Bellatrix yelled and was already pointing her wand at Jacob but Edward distracted her and she protected herself from the Cullen.

Jacob saw that Voldemort laid sprawled on the ground at least 10 yards away and he didn't look like he had the strength to get up any time soon so Jacob quickly shifted, pulled on his shorts and ran over to Draco.

"Draco!" He kneeled by the blond and cringed in fear as he saw the boy's once beautiful silver eyes now completely black, no white or silver showing at all. The entire eyeball was shrouded in darkness. "Draco," he said almost in whisper, "Draco, can you hear me?" He touched his cheek and wiped away the already drying tears that had spilled over just minutes before.

Jacob looked up as he heard a crash and saw that Bellatrix had managed to throw a spell at Edward, throwing him against a tree, breaking through it. Harry was beside Edward almost instantly and was now fighting Bellatrix. Edward was ok, but he did take a little time to stand back up.

Jacob watched as the fight had spread out further into the trees, some running further away to dodge and attack. He looked back at Voldemort and saw that he was barely getting up on his knees. He wasn't a threat, as long as the ritual wasn't completed, he was useless and powerless. The ritual will be completed over my dead body! Jacob screamed mentally because he knew that for the ritual to be completed, Voldemort had to eat Draco's flesh and drink his blood. He would never allow that to happen.

At the moment Jacob had one objective, saving Draco. He picked the boy up in his arms and carried him a bit further away from the fight. He laid Draco on the ground gently and cradled his head.

"Draco, please, you have to wake up." He moved some of the pale blond hair away from his face and lightly touched the bleeding gash on his head. Draco's breath was so small that it was probably just barely enough to keep him alive. "Draco, please…"

Earlier that day, Jacob was able to contain his emotions, but right now, seeing his imprint, the love of his life lying in his arms, motionless, with no sign of life in his eyes…Jacob broke down. His tears spilled over and a quiet sob broke free from his constricted chest.

He buried his face in Draco's chest and listened as the already slow beating heart kept getting slower and slower. He's dyeing…and I don't know what to do!

There was a sound of a snapping branch and Jacob looked up to see Voldemorts twisted form limping his way over to them. He wanted to eat his imprint, to take his life—

That's it! Voldemort was living inside of Draco, he was able take partial form from the ashes of the leeches and using Draco's blood as sustenance, he needs to consume all of Draco to gain his full power. If I kill him, maybe Draco's soul or life force will return to him.

Jacob gently laid Draco's head back on the ground and stood. He wiped the tears from his face and glared at Voldemort.

"You're a sick disgusting monster." He said as he approached the slow moving creature.

Voldemort said nothing as he watched Jacob with red glowing eyes. He was worse than a leech was. He craved not only blood but the flesh as well, and at that moment, he wanted the flesh of his vessel, Draco.

Jacob pulled his shorts off and shifted. He then ran at Voldemort, who shielded his deformed face as Jacob jumped down on him and attacked.

Harry thought, as he and Edward fought off a group of about 7 death eaters, including Bellatrix, that if Sirius didn't get there soon, they were all going to die. They were just too greatly outnumbered. He had seen when Jacob took Draco away from there and was glad about that because the death eaters were quickly overtaking them.

"Harry!"

Harry looked at Edward who yelled at him. He was looking at something behind Harry and when he turned and saw why Edward looked scared beyond anything he's ever seen before, he saw why. There was a death eater yelling the killing curse at him, already halfway through. This is it, I'm dead.

"Avada Ked—" the death eater was blasted away and crashed into a tree, killing him instantly.

Harry looked at who had just saved his life and a smile quickly spread on his lips as he saw Sirius emerge from the forest with at least 40 wizards and witches behind him. He saw Remus, the entire Weasely family, Mcgonagall, Narcissa, Neville, Luna, and even Blaze. The rest of the group was all aurors that Harry remembered only by face.

"Harry," Sirius rushed over to his side. "Sorry we're so late, there was an ugly fight at the Ministry and we were caught up in the middle of it. I'll tell you the rest later though. We have some death eaters to fight."

Harry felt relief rush through him by the presence of their friends. They now outnumbered the death eaters. Sirius and those that came with him quickly overtook the fight using their surprise appearance as an advantage. It surprisedHarry how quickly they were able to overtake the death eaters once they realized that they no longer had the advantage. They all just kind of gave up. It seemed like they no longer had their heart into fighting for their dark Lords sake.

"Harry."

He turned and saw Narcissa making her way over to him, blocking a spell and casting one herself.

"Where is my son?" She asked, fear edging her voice.

"I'm not really sure. Jacob took him away from the fight. I haven't seen them for at least half an hour." Harry just then remembered Bellatrix hadn't been captured yet. He looked around for her frantically. Most of the death eaters were captured now

"Harry what's wrong?" Edward asked from beside him.

"Where did Bellatrix go?"

Realization and fear edge onto all three of their faces.

Jacob managed to bite down on Voldemorts shoulder and threw him through the air and into a tree. The blood that seep out of Voldemort and onto his mouth as he bit, smelt like Draco's, and that enraged Jacob even more. This thing was, even now, standing because Draco's blood ran through its twisted body.

That is Draco's blood not yours! He yelled mentally and went to attack it once more, this time, aiming to kill it with one blow. He wanted to make it suffer by prolonging its death, but now he just wanted to destroy it.

Jacob had his jaws open and he was inches from biting down on the creature again when something hit him in his side, blasting him to the side as well. He rolled and came to a stop when he crashed against a large boulder. There was a sharp pain in his side where he was hit but he pushed it aside and got up just in time to dodge another spell thrown at him by none other than Bellatrix.

Just die already, witch! He charged her but she disappeared in a cloud of black mist and appeared behind him. She threw a spell and missed but Jacob saw as it hit a tree and cut it to pieces.

As Jacob twisted around to try and catch her off guard he saw out of the corner of his eye that Voldemort was crawling closer to Draco, he was nearly 10 feet away from the boy. Jacob tried running to Draco but was blocked by Bellatrix and her spells. He growled and attacked her again. He had no choice but to kill her before Voldemort reached Draco. At least he was crawling slowly.

"Die, dog!" Bellatirx yelled as she threw spell after spell at him, he managed to dodge each one but the last. It hit him in the back leg, breaking it in many places.

He howled out in pain as he fell to the ground. He looked up as Bellatrix looked at him with a triumphant smile and approached him, wand ready to cast the killing curse. He looked over to Draco and saw Voldemort was now close enough to grab Draco's arm.

Draco, I'm so sorry. I couldn't save you.

He looked back to Bellatrix' face and saw her looking behind him, her smile quickly turning into an angry sneer.

"Impedimenta!" A woman's voice yelled out and Jacob saw the spell fly at Bellatrix, but she managed to block it. Jacob took the moment and ran on three legs to Draco. Voldemort was lifting Draco's shirt to take a bite out of the stomach when Jacob landed on him, bit down and rolled away with Voldemort in his jaws. Once they were a distance away from Draco, Jacob let go of the screeching creature and turned and bit down on its throat, silencing it as it began to drown in his, no, Draco's blood. It was still alive and Jacob clawed at the creatures' chest digging down to the heart and then he bit down on the small pulsating thing, killing it.

As soon as Jacob's jaws punctured through the heart, the black light shot out of Voldemorts body just as it had before from the ashes. Jacob moved away from it and limped his way over to Draco, shifted and sat next to him. He looked over and saw Bellatrix in a battle with Narcissa. Bellatrix screamed out in anguish when she saw that her lord was destroyed. Narcissa took the moment and killed her with the killing curse.

He turned and watched as the black light from Voldemort ceased and a small black sphere of light emerged from the body and then Voldemorts body crumbled into ashes. The black light shimmered and it looked as if a white light was trying to escape from inside of it. It's Draco. He realized.

"Draco!" Jacob called to the light and a white beam broke through the darkness and finally overtook the small remaining black light. The white light shot over and merged into Draco's body.

Jacob watched as the darkness slowly left the boys eyes and the beautiful silver was slowly appearing. As soon as the dark was completely gone, Draco gasped in a large amount of air, his entire body trembling.

"Jacob?" He called to the shifter to be sure he was really real.

"Draco…" Jacob felt tears returning to his eyes and pulled Draco into a hug but quickly let go when the boy gasped in pain. "Are you hurt?"

"My back—" Draco cringed as another sharp pain made its way down his spine.

Jacob remembered then that Draco was hurt because of Bella.

"I'm so sorry." Jacob buried his face in Draco's neck. "I wasn't there to protect you."

"No you weren't" said Narcissa. Jacob and Draco looked and saw her standing beside them. "But you risked your life and did everything possible to save him." She smiled down at him. "And you did. Thank you." She threw him his shorts that he had dropped sometime when he was fighting Bellatrix.

Jacob blushed and quickly but carefully, so as not to hurt his broken leg, pulled them on. Narcissa had knelt down and stroked Draco's cheek in such a motherly way that Jacob wished for a moment that she would do the same to him, just for the sake of comfort.

Jacob felt the bones in his leg beginning to heal together, but they were in the wrong place.

"Do you happen to know a spell to place the bones in my leg where they should go?" He asked Narcissa. The blond woman smiled and pointed her wand at his leg. A pain shot up his leg and through his spine as the bones were put back in place.

Most of the death eaters were now captured and only a few were still trying to fight. Fred and George shot down and captured one death eater as an auror made sure he was completely immobile, unable to escape. The Cullen's and shifters had all gathered and left the few remaining death eaters for the wizards to capture.

Ron was helping one of the aurors secure two death eaters when he heard Hermione's voice, "Ron look out!"

He turned and saw a death eater shoot a spell at him. He was too late to lift up his wand and block. He closed his eyes waiting for pain and possibly death, but it never came.

There was a loud whimper of pain and he opened his eyes to see one of the wolf shifters had jumped in front of him. Ron saw the wolf, dark silver fur, fall to the ground and whimper in pain. He knew who it was. He had, without realizing it, memorized the color of fur when they had trained with the shifters and Cullen's.

"Paul!" He yelled and kneeled next to the trembling wolf. Someone had shot down the death eater as soon as Paul fell.

The pain running through Paul's body became too much and his body shifted on its own accord. As soon as he changed Ron cringed as Paul yelled out in pain.

Carlisle quickly came over along with a woman dressed in auror robes.

"Don't move him." Carlisle told Ron and kneeled next to the shifter.

The auror waved her wand over Paul. "His ribs and hip bone is broken."

"Are you a wizard doctor?" Carlisle asked the woman and she nodded. "Can you set his bones back in place? He's a shifter and his body heals quicker than normal. The bones must be put back before the healing process begins."

"Yes, I can do that." The woman kneeled next to Ron, but he didn't leave the shifters side. She cast a spell over Paul's body and he screamed out as the pain became unbearable and perspiration began to form on his forehead.

When the healer was done, Paul gasped loudly. Ron took off his robe and covered Paul's lower body. He didn't know why but he didn't want others to see his exposed body.

"You saved me." Ron whispered to Paul, who opened his eyes and stared back through pained eyes.

"I had no choice." Paul winced. "You're mine…to protect."

"What do you mean?" Ron asked and didn't notice that he had slipped his hand into Paul's.

"I imprinted on you."

"What? When…how, Why didn't you tell me?" Ron stumbled for words, a deep blush spreading on his cheeks.

"I imprinted when I first met you at Sam's house. I didn't tell you because we were preparing for battle, I didn't want you to be distracted."

Ron trembled from a weird joy that he felt. He wasn't gay, but butterflies had formed inside of his stomach. Without thinking too much and just going with his feeling, he leaned down and placed a quick kiss on Paul's lips. He pulled away and a deep crimson graced his cheeks, spreading down his neck.

There were small chuckles from the observers and Ron felt like hiding under a rock. Paul smiled and held his hand tighter.

It took almost 2 hours to round up all the captured death eaters and to heal any injuries. The most severely injured was Paul, Draco, Jacob, and Luna who had taken a blow to the head. She was unconscious but she would recover.

The injured had to be levitated down the mountain because apparating them would only injure them more. The aurors apparated back to Draco's house with the death eaters and took them back to London where they would have a trial and be sentenced to either Azkaban or the dementors kiss.

Mcgonagall had also gone with the aurors claiming that she had to get back to Hogwarts. Everyone else slowly made their way down the mountain and to Draco's house. The injured were levitated and Jacob held Draco as they gently floated alongside the other happy gossiping wizards, shifters and vampires. Draco had fallen asleep and Jacob noticed that Paul had as well, but Ron was persistently by his side. He watched as Luna still lay unconscious and Neville was holding her hand.

Fred and George were talking animatedly to Emmitt who seemed far too interested in their Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes comic magic items. They were currently discussing a prank that they hadn't yet worked out.

(**"-but you get these massive pus-filled boils too," said George, "and we haven't worked out how to get rid of them yet."

"And you can't see any boils," said Ron, glaring at the twins from where he walked beside Paul.

"No, well, you wouldn't," said Fred, "they're not in a place we generally display to the public -"

"- but they make sitting on a broom a right pain in the -"**)

"Language, George!" Mrs. Weasley shouted at him before he could continue.

"Sorry." George said and shared a smile with Fred.

It was very late once they reach Forks and everyone headed home. The Cullens went to their home offering to house Luna—she couldn't be flooed to St. Mungos in her condition—and Neville went with her. Harry too went to stay the night with Edward. The shifters all went to their own homes and Paul was put in Draco's spare room, Ron still by his side. Hermione moved the tent to the living room where she offered it to Sirius, Remus and Tonks who were staying. Narcissa and the Weasley's were going home. Hermione slept on the one couch and Blaze on the other couch, but they stayed up a little longer than everyone else talking.

Draco's back had been cleaned and healed as best as it could without any healing potions—a healer from St. Mungos would bring potions once it was morning in Forks—and he and Jacob both showered together, Draco helping Jacob stand and Jacob helping Draco wash his wounds. Once they got dressed, Draco lay on the bed on his stomach and Jacob held him close without touching his back. He kissed his lips over and over.

"I love you." Jacob whispered against the boy's lips and Draco turned his head further to capture Jacobs in an even deeper kiss.

"I love you more."

AN: Well that's it, it's over...Joking! No, there will be one more chapter and then it will be over. I can't tell you how grateful I am for all you. Thank you for those of you who reviewed and even if you didn't, thank you for reading my story anyway.

The next chapter will be up soon and once that's done I will promptly start on another story I have in mind. But I can't decide if I should make it another Jacob/Draco or Jacob/Harry. It will take place during the search for the deathly hollows.

Please review and tell me what you think. :)
