Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight

As soon as I knew Jacob was gone from the school I slowly tried standing up on my shaky legs. Walking out of the stall I looked in the mirrors, it was only appropriate since I felt like I had been hit in the head with a baseball bat several times I look the part too.

I knew I didn't have very long and prayed my plan would work. I walked to the door to the bathrooms and opened the door just a crack poking my head out to see Seth standing just outside the door. "Seth, I need my bag. Can you go get it for me?" I asked in a soft and shaky voice.

"Jay, I don't think that's a good idea, we really need to get you somewhere safe," He said and when he looked me in the eyes I felt bad that I was trying to deceive someone so sweet; someone who just wanted the best for me.

"Seth, I really need my bag," I whispered looking at him pointedly.

"Jay, I'm sure it can wait until…"

"Seth, I need a tampon," I hissed at him hoping I didn't sound too much like a liar. I really needed this to work.

Judging by the red color that crept up into his cheeks I could guess that I wasn't too bad. "Oh okay."

"Now go fetch so we can get out of here," I gasped rolling my eyes. He just nodded and jogged off in the other direction.

As soon as he turned the corner I walked as fast as I could to the front exit of the school and as soon as I was out booked it to my car. I jammed my keys into the ignition and pulled out of the school parking lot, waiting until I got onto one of the back roads before I picked up my speed to well above what was considered acceptable by the local authorities.

Devon was back and I only partially knew how but I wasn't going to let him hurt anyone because of me. Not when I was the only one he wanted.

I had lied when I told Jacob that Emily was in danger.

Jacob's POV

Where's he going? I snarled as we tracked the scent of the leech through the woods to the north. It seemed like whoever he was, he was leading us north.

I felt the muscles strain in my legs as I pushed them harder and faster, this guy was fast.

You sure Jaelyn said Emily? Jacob, the tracks went nowhere near Sam's house, Embry thought as he strayed behind us. Leah being the fastest one in the group was a few feet ahead of me, she had made it very clear she'd rather hunt the leech down instead of 'babysit' Jaelyn. I growled even thinking about it before I allowed my thoughts to go back to Jaelyn in the stall and I cringed mentally along with Quil.

I opened up my mind to Sam who had stayed back in La Push with Emily guarding the house. Anything Sam?

No, nothing. I tried calling the Cullen's and left a message on one of their phones, I want to see if they recognize the scent. I think it may be that Devon guy.

I growled and pushed myself harder but when Seth's thoughts popped in my head I stopped dead in my tracks and the anger that overwhelmed me made the others cringe.

Jacob, Jay's gone. I don't know where she went; she tricked me into leaving her alone in the bathroom. It started raining as soon as I found out and I can't catch her scent.

I growled and scanned Seth's thoughts trying to find the slightest clue to what was happening.

She played us, Leah said putting together the pieces.

Jay's POV

I drove up to the house; the first time I drove past it my assumptions had been right. I've been living in my new place just past a month and this place was already condemned. I left my keys in the ignition, just in case there was a slim chance I could get away. I took a deep breath and stepped out of my car turning off the overhead light and leaving the door open. I severely doubted anyone in this tiny town would steal it and it gave me some comfort.

The old house in front of me looked like it had seen more bad times than good, all the paint had been peeled off and there were holes in the roof where clumps of shingles were missing and some of the side boards were peeling right off.

It figures if I should die today it'd be somewhere creepy. But before I could walk into the house, he stepped out.

Devon as a vampire looked a lot better than he did when he was human; I guess that's to be expected though. His dark hair was still shaggy but the scar he had on the side of his face was gone, he was clean and the oil from all the cars he worked on that I had once thought permanently stained his skin was gone.

But the cocky smile he held on his face was as ugly to me as it ever was. He cocked his head to the side, "Aren't you going to say hi to me babe?"

"Don't call me that," I snarled instinctively taking a step towards him.

His laugh sounded like one of those bells that the church rang and I shook my head to try and get rid of it. "Awh. Jay doesn't like the pet names anymore, huh?" He stalked towards me and every step he took I took one backwards.

"Why are you here?" I asked and the little break in my voice betrayed any strength I had been hoping to convey.

His smile got bigger and he stopped walking towards me and crossed his arms, "I'm here to make a proposition." I didn't say anything just quirked an eyebrow, the thought that he could kill me any second kept running through my head but I knew this would be the only way to protect anyone. "I think we both know that in a matter of half a second I could easily snap your neck and you'd be done. And the last time I saw you weren't on good terms, if you take my deal I can find it in my heart to forgive you for killing me."

"I didn't kill you," I snapped at him. "Fucking idiot."

I didn't even see him but he was suddenly in my face, one of his hands wrapped around my arm painfully squeezing. "What your fucking mouth," He snarled and I didn't say anything, my heart was beating so fast I don't think I could. "I told you not to tell Jaelyn, I fucking told you and look what you did. You ran and told the police the next day who went to Alan's parents' house. He found me, Alan's cousin and he stabbed me over and over again and he would've kept going if something didn't scare him off. Five times he stabbed me Jaelyn and he left me there to die."
"Good," I hissed. Less than two seconds later I flew through the open door way of the house and crashed against the hard cement floor. I moaned and was rolled over so my back was on the floor and I was looking straight into Devon's blood red eyes. His hand clamped over my throat just hard enough to put pressure on it making it a strain to breathe.

"I killed him for you Jay, for us. He was going to take you away from me and that's how you pay me back? You're an ungrateful bitch, just like your trash of a father. That's why he left you because no one wanted you. No one except for me, I put up with you and gave you everything," He whispered bending down so his mouth was right next to my ear.

"You killed him, Alan didn't deserve to die. You're the sick twisted fuck who believed that," I whispered back as the pressure hardened on my throat. "You never gave me shit Devon; you were too busy giving it to all your other girlfriends."

"Do you know what found me in the alley way Jay?" He snarled in my ear.

"Well yeah you idiot, I think it's pretty easy to figure out that one out."

He picked me up and threw me at the wall and I felt a crack in my wrist as I held out my hands to catch me on the floor. I dropped and whimpered as I felt him put his foot on my back digging down. "You killed me Jay, if it wasn't for you I'd still be alive, not this bullshit eternity thing. You killed me and you have two options, you come with me or I kill your new family," he whipped out, laughing on the last word. He flipped me over and stared down in my face, his body hovering over mine.

"It looks like you only really have one choice," He laughed pushing his hand through my hair. "I'm ready to forgive you."

I breathed heavy, my chest racking up and down. Devon was right, I only had once choice. I was not going to put everyone I loved in trouble, I finally had someone and I wasn't going to ruin it for them.

As soon as I opened my mouth to tell him, his whole body stiffened and I watched as his eyes flickered towards his right. He snarled and jumped up, "Don't you think this is over Jaelyn. I will be back to get you. I promise." Devon ran out so fast I couldn't even see him, but I knew he was gone. I rolled onto my side moaning and felt pain everywhere. My head was throbbing and everything in front of me blurred. I fell back onto my stomach and felt the cold floor against my cheek.

"JAY!" The deep voice that yelled out my name sounded a lot like Paul and I shut my eyes happy it wasn't Sam or Jacob.

"Jay," This time's Paul's voice was softer and I felt his arms gently wrap around me and pull me up.

I could hear Paul talking and a couple other voices but I couldn't figure out who they belonged to. I kept waning in and out of focus that I didn't try very hard to even bother. The last thing I heard before I fell asleep was Paul whispering in my ear, "You're in some deep shit."
