A Night with the Dog

--Jacob's POV

Goddamned leeches. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be going through this.

Esmé called my phone, which resulted in me falling off my bed. I was about to sleep when she told me that Victoria was on the loose. She told me to fetch Edward and watch over Bella. If it weren't for the fact that we are good friends, I would bite Esmé's head off.

I changed into my wolf form and ran towards Bella's house...

There was still some bitterness between the vampires and the wolves. But since Nessie came into our lives....

Who would've thought that she'd be Edward's niece?

If Edward's furious at Victoria, then count me in. I have a score to settle with her. Edward must have a double dose of the pain that I'm feeling right now. I scoffed at the idea of me caring about my uncle.

Nessie's father had been killed by Victoria. Nessie's father is the brother of Edward; and Bella is being hunted by Victoria.

As I said, double dose for Edward. I shuddered and gulped at the thought: my uncle.

I jumped at Bella's window and was not at all surprised to see my uncle caressing Bella's cheek.

--Edward's POV

I knew Jacob was coming. I can practically smell him as soon as he left my niece's side, Nessie. There was a slight thud from Bella's window. It would have been unheard if it weren't for the fact that vampires had a keen sense of hearing.

I mentally cursed the disturbance and sighed.

"What do you want?" I asked irritably.

---Jacob's POV

"What do you want?" He asked... I could tell that he was irritated.

"Esmé called for you." I half growled and half spat at his direction.

"What happened?" he asked while getting up. In less than a second he was in front of me. Truth to be told that since Nessie and I were together, the smell just didn't affect me that much. But still...

"What happened mongrel?" he said snarling at my thoughts. Oops.

So we were back to that, eh?

I gave him a hard stare and bared my teeth.

"Old habits die hard, mutt." Was all he said.

"Victoria's back." I said with much venom that I could muster.

--Edward's POV

"Victoria's back." Jacob said.

I froze on the spot.

"Stay with Bella." It was the only thing that I could say. I had to go to Carlisle.

I jumped down from Bella's window and landed soundlessly.

Since I'm the fastest runner, I had no effort in being in my house in less than a minute.

Esmé greeted me and told me that they were all waiting in the dining room.

I entered the room and sat between Nessie and Alice, the only place unoccupied.

Alice was trying to see the outcome but it kept changing. Nessie kept thinking about that mutt, Jacob.

Carlisle was at the head of the table. He kept thinking about another way of keeping his family safe, aside from killing Victoria.

Esmé was just worried for everyone's safety. Jasper was keeping the tension from everyone. Rosalie looked furious, like that ever changes.

Emmet had this stupid grin on his face. I knew better than to read his mind, since it was just full of how he'd rip the heads off of anyone who'd get near Rosalie.

--Carlisle's POV

"Is everyone sure of their decision?" I asked, hoping that they'd change their mind.

Everyone snarled at the idea of letting Victoria live. Esmé just kept quiet. Even sweet Nessie had snarled at my idea.

"Carlisle," Edward said. "We can't let her live."

I sighed at what he said. I looked at him, signalling him to continue.

"What will happen if we let her live? She will keep on coming back. And even if she won't, some child might end up being an orphan."

I saw Nessie wince at Edward's idea.

"Some other innocent life will be lost." Nessie whispered silently.

--Nessie's POV

I knew that my father and I weren't normal. We were the same... yet both different.

My mother died while giving birth to me, she was human. My father was a vampire. Emphasis on the 'was'. He was killed by none other than Victoria. But because of her, I now had an uncle. Turns out that my father and his brother didn't know of their immortal sibling...

I'm just glad that Jacob can help me in my time of need.

--Edward's POV

"Alright. At least prepare yourselves. I have a feeling that Victoria will bring reinforcement." Carlisle said as he stood up to leave.

Esmé followed shortly after giving us a small smile.

We were quiet for a while. Each in their own thoughts.

Emmet suddenly laughed out loud.

--Emmet's POV

Edward snarled at me... he must've read my mind.

That only resulted in me laughing again.

Edward was really furious now. The chair that he was holding was cracking.

"Don't. Even. Dare." Was all he said to me.

Oh, man. If Edward could blush, he'd be beet red by now.

"What is going on Emmet?" Rosalie asked.

"Edward thought that Bella wanted to have sex in Renée's house, while they were in Jacksonville." I said then laughed.

--Alice's POV

I watched as Edward threw the chair that he was holding at Emmet. It landed on Emmet's wall-like chest and broke apart. The chair hadn't even landed on the floor when Edward showed up next to Emmet.

Edward pinned Emmet on the ground and asked the question I've been fearing to hear.

"Who told you?" he was gritting his teeth.

He was really, really angry.

I knew I should've held my mouth.

He read either my mind, or Emmet's.

In both cases, I'm still dead.

Edward let go of Emmet and slowly turned to me. Like his favourite, he circled me like a lion.

Oh, well... at least we'll have a workout.
