Chapter 12

Bella had fallen asleep on the bed, still clothed, the little bruise on her throat shining against her pale skin. I hadn't been able to sleep during the day since I was a child, so I stroked her hair, her face, tracing her features while she murmered and mumbled nothing in her dreaming state.

And then I felt it. Like a pull, almost panful, like it was tugging on my insides, telling me to leave out the window.

It was like I was being pulled in a direction, a place I needed to go. I kissed Bella on the head, and gently moved from the bed, not bothering to pull my shirt on. I left a note, telling Bella that I'd be... in the woods. Thats where I felt the pull, now tugging harder.

I lifted the window, climbing out and jumping to the ground, quickly standing and sniffing the air. I caught a scent to the left, out in Bella's back yard. I took off in a sprint, dashing through trees and avoiding loose roots on the forest floor. I didn't have to go far before I came to a small place, green and wet, and saw it.

I had picked up the scent amidetly. He was standing looking at me, and leaning against the tree next to him. The space between us was only about 10 feet, and tension was practially visible in the air.

"You took her from me." he whispered, looking casual, but slightly pained.

"You left."

"I was going to come back..." He looked distante.

"Than you shouldn't have left in the first place. If you cared so much, how come you wern't here?"

"I thought it would be good... If I left. But instead, you take advantage of her."

"I didn't do anything. I was there for her. Where were you when she woke up screaming? Or when she cried, and called your name? You left her, and soon, she needed me. She choose me."

He sat still for a minute.

"You've... imprinted on her?"

He sprung at me, grabbing a hand around my throat.

"You took what was mine." he said in a strained voice, hissibng through his teeth. "You can't give her happiness, like can when I was going to come back."

I tried to shake his grip.

"I can give her what she wants. She can trust me, because I was there, and I always will be. She can have a life, and kids, and be happy, without trying to constantly impress you, you ass. She always felt like she wasn't good enough, and you didn't even see it. You let her feel second class to you" His hand dropped. " I can love her, without hurting her-"

His eyes turned black.

"You-would-never-hurt Bella like that. Taking her innocence, and defouling her body, for your own pleasure, you mutt."

"Your just jealous becuase you can't do the same thing."

He was right up in his face, telling him the turth, and never faultering.

"I would never consider doing something like that to Bella. I would want to but... never."

I decided to rub something into his face...

"And if you went into her house right now, and saw her sleeping, you'd also see the mark I left on her neck. She asked, and wanted me to give her a hicky! Something you could never do without eternially damning her life. She got pleasure from me."

"Shut your mouth, wolf. You may be happy now, stealing her virtue, but she doesn't want you to. She wants to keep like your forcing her. Which is so much worse that anything I could have ever done."

Then thought...

"Want to hear something, leech? A nice little story of me and Bella. She woke up, having a night mere about you. She wanted me. And you want to know what the best part was? She put my hand on her breast. She wanted me to touch her. Something she never wanted from you."

"You didn't."

"Oh, but I did. Well, acually, I knew she might regret it later, so I denied, and she later told me that she wish I hadn't. Did she ever express anything like that for you?"

"You... took away the innocence she sill had? You felt the need to... do something, that only belolngs to those who are married..."

"She wanted me to do it. I would never take advantage of Bella, like you did so many times. You took advantage of Bella in every way. And I'm sure, if you came back, she wouldn't want you back. If she had the choice, I'm sure she'd pick me over you."

"If... I could see her again..."

"You can't."

"Its not your choice, mutt."

"Its my choice of wether my imprint gets hurt or not. I won't let you hurt her."

"If i had come back sooner..."

"Then I'd still be here. I've been here all along. So don't try to come see her, because I will kill you."

BPOV

When I woke, The bed was cold. I sat up, holding the sheets against my body, and looking around for Jacob. The window was open, and a slight breeze blew through.

A piece of paper fluttered off the bed, landing on the ground on the other side. I rolled over and picked it up;

If I'm not back before you wake, please don't come looking for me. I took a little walk in the woods, and should be back soon.

Ok, he's gone.

I swung my feet over the side of the bed, and felt chilled, and alone.

I walked to the bathroom, and looked in the mirror. There was a small bruise, a tanish color, placed on my lower neck.

Smiling, I touched it, tracing my fingers over it. I remembered last night when Jake gave it to me. I had felt no pain, only the love for him, that I had lost from him.

Walking downstairs, I contionusly held the spot on my neck with one hand.

I leant on the counter, just thinking about Jake, and any future we'd have now. I vaguly considered going online to see what there was for housing around here, maybe Jake and I could get our own place...

Well, Jake and I would be graduationg soo, maybe a month tops. Thats why I liked homeschool so much.

My thoughts drifted to Edward, thinking of how he encouraged this idea, and bought me a laptop to match, which I just recently returned and bought a new one, with quite a bit left over.

The door brushed open, and my eyes flashed to Jacob, standing there, shirtless, I might add...

"Jake." I breathed.

I ran over to him, and stretched up to wrap my arms around his neck. His found there way around my waiste, and his nose grazed the little mark on my neck.

"I missed you."

"I was only gone for an hour." He looked down at me.

"I don't like being away from you."

"Mmm."

"So... what were you doing in the woods?"

"Oh... nothing."

Oh, so Jacob won't tell her about the encounter with the vampire? And why is Bella already thinking about getting her own house with Jake?

So, Tsalagi wa-ya has 2 stories that I like, and you should read them both!
