My mind was racing. Many different outcomes of what happened to Jacobs body were pounding my concious at full speed. I slipped down to the ground, and held my head in my hands. Trying to will the images to stop. I was so peocupied with it that i didnt even notice when Jasper came running up or the fact that i was now in Victorias embrace again. 'no no no no no no NO NO NO!'
"NO! NO! NO! NO!" I was screaming. This cant be happening. All i wanted was to give him a proper burial... This is not reall...
{VPOV}
"Jasper, I... I cant get through to her! Its like she cant hear me!" I could feel the horrid sticky tears leaking from my eyes, and all over my arm from where she had her head burried. I Felt jasper brush me breifly with a huge dose of calm, but the moment it touched Bella, she began to thrash around.
"NO! NO! NO! NO!" Her screams were hard to listen to. A mix of hurt, Anguish, Agony and white hot anger all mixed in one. Jasper jumped back at her sudden out burst to his gift.
"Jasper! Do something! I cant hold her down much longer!" I watched his eyes light up with panic, then get determined. Sweat started to form on his concentrated brow, Then out of nowhere, bella went limp im my arms. I looked up to jasper. He was panting... looking really exausted for the first.
"She's out cold. I couldnt calm her. It would have made it worse... so i had to put her out. She couldnt fight it and her thoughts... whatever they were." He breathed slowly, and i placed bella down on the ground gently.
"Come on, she wont be out long. Lets go search the area. See if we can find him... or whoever took him." I said to jasper. We both headed off in different directions. Scouring the woods for anything... anything with a trace of the wolf's scent.
{BPOV}
I opened my eyes slowly. It had stopped. The thoughts had all gone and i felt a small sense of peace.
"Bella." I spun around fast and came face to face with... "Jake..." I felt the tears swell in my eyes for the thousanth time since that day.
"OH God... Jake!" I ran into his embrace, but i didnt feel anything. I didnt feel his arms wrap around me, I didnt feel his breath play in my hair, and I didnt feel the heat from his skin... Nothing. Like he wasnt even there.
"Jake... Why cant I feel you?" I choked running my fingers down his bare arm, tracing the tattoo.
"Because im not really here... I am, but im not." He smirked wolfishly. God how i missed watching his lips quirk up after a snide comment.
"Bella, You need to listen to me. You need to stay with Victoria and Jasper. I dont know what is coming, but i do know who is behind what happened." He said.
"Who! Who is behind the packs death, behind yours, and dads. You tell me now and ill hunt them down!" The anger was still high even through my tears.
"You cant, Bella you need to be safe... you need to live... for me. Tell the Major that i am counting on him now to protect you and take down those damn traitors." His face softened.
"You go back now... its time for you to wake up... I love you bella. Tell my dad, not to worry to much. The pack was able to take them all down. Tell Paul that Its up to him now to lead the new quileute warriors. Tell Emily and Sue that im sorry. That Seth, Leah, and Sam died trying to protect me. And Bella. Dont worry about me. I love you. I dont mind this so much... at least you are still alive." He ran his hand down my cheek and chin.
"I... I cant feel you..." I whimperd to him. My bottom lip trembled. And i placed my hand over his non existant one. turning my face into the palm and kissing it... or trying to. "I love you..." I whispered as i watched him begin to disapear. panic took over me for a second. "Wait! Jake come back! Just one more minute please!" I cried out to him. He shook his head and smiled at me.
"Dont be so sad baby... Ill always be here to bother the hell out of ya." He said winking at me... but i could tell he was hurting to. He was only trying to be strong for me.
He disapeared slowly with a whisper.
"Wake up baby..."
I woke up with a start and looked around my surroundings. I was on the forest floor, still in forks. Jumping to my feet, I sniffed out Victoria and Jasper. I found them a few miles out sniffing the place out.
"Stop looking for him... We need to get to the reservation." I told them slightly monatone. Victoria looked at me confused.
"Its ok. I..." I looked down to the ground. "I saw him. In my dream. He told me to stay around you two... he told me to tell jasper that he was counting on you to take out the traitors... what ever that mean. but he said it." I looked back up to them with determined eyes. "we need to get to the reservation." I turned and ran back to the truck where the pack boys were laying. Reaching up and closing all of their eyes, I said a small goodbye and prayer.
We pulled up to Billys house and turned the truck off. Billy came rolling outside and staring at the truck with confusion. I jumped out of the cab and walked slowly up to him.
"Billy..." I began, but i couldnt get a word out before a sob shook my body. He wrapped his arms around my body and held me to him closely.
"I know Bella... I know..." angry sobs racked his body furiously as we held each other and cried out our greif. After what seemed like hours, We pulled away and wiped out eyes.
"Billy, please call paul, sue and Emily... they need to be here for this." He looked at me confused. Then nodded his head and called the others. I heard the howl of a lone wolf from the distance, then the steady foot falls of them heading in our direction. Slowly, Paul stepped out from the woods clad in nothing but shorts. He looked pissed, and ready to fight.
"So the pack was mutilated and you decide to break the treaty, is that is blood sucker!" Paul shoved jasper in the chest, standing nose to nose with him.
"I didnt break no damn treaty fucking dog! Im not a cullen, im a whitlock, and if you would stop to think for a minute instead of being so hot headed, you would have noticed, I brought your dead to you out of kindness, not animocity." Paul paused and looked over jasper's shoulder. His eyes began to narrow, then his face contorted in pain. a growl ripped from his chest as he looked at the truck bed full of his pack members... his brothers.
Emily and Sue pulled up as paul smashed his fist into the truck bed, putting a defining dent into the side.
"Paul?" My voice was small, but i knew it would be. I was terrified, yet i wanted to comfort him... the best i possible could at the time.
"Bella..." He growled at me slowly, but the more i walked closer, the less the growl, until he broke down, and i grabbed him up like i did with Billy.
Emily was in hysterics. I couldnt console her. Sue had slipped into some form of shock. I was in a mix of shock and depression... and pissed off. The looks on my families face were torture. I knew i needed to tell them, but i didnt know how i was going to bring it up. So I decided to just go with it. Jump right in.
"I spoke with Jacob." I said loudly, catching everyones attention immediatly.
"What do you mean Bella?" Billy asked, wiping his eyes again.
"We had found his body, It some how just... disappeared. I went into some kind of... trance... or something like it. Jasper had to knock me out. While i was under, I spoke with jacob. He had a message for all of you." I took a deep breath trying to steady my shaky voice.
"Billy. He said not to worry anymore. He may not be here, but the pack took them all out. Sue, and Emily. He said to tell you he was sorry. Seth, Leah, and Sam died trying to help him and protect him." They all nodded and a fresh wave of tears hit everyone. I got up and walked over to paul who found the floor very interesting. "Paul." He looked up at me with teary eyes. "Paul, he told me to tell you that is all up to you. He is claiming you as the Alpha, and says its all up to you to lead and train the new pack." He nodded stongly. Determination showed bright in his eyes.
"May i make them proud." He announced. I grabbed him in a hug and held him close. Jasper stood up and crossed his arms.
"Im sorry for your losses everyone. I really am. But I have a problem on my hands and I was hoping you all could help me figure it out." Jasper said looking into the faces of all the grieving family members.
"And what would that be leech?" Paul spit at him, his hands holding onto my harms a little tighter.
"Jacob had a message for him as well. Somthing about traitors and counting on him to take them out, and keep me safe." I told him.
"Traitors... I dont know..."
"The Cullens. They are the only vampires we associated with. The only ones who had a treaty with us. It was broken that day on several offences. Cossing out bourder, harming a human, and our pack." Billy interupted. I let the though settle in for a bit.
"But why would they be after me? Edward was supposed to have left with them for my own good, so why the hell would he come back and decide to kill my family?" I was confused, irritated and a little fed up with the whole situation.
"Your gift Bella. You have a rare gift. Think about it. None of the cullens had ever acted like a vampire. They have spent their whole lives as a vampire, trying to be human. Why not take the control of the one person who can do that... or maybe they want to use you as a weapon..." Jasper jumped up and looked at me with wide eyes. "you have the power to weaken a whole horde of vampires by human standards. you are actually a walking trap. The perfect plan to weaken the voultori and take over their spots." Jasper finished with a silent curse word.
"Ok, I am powerful. Why does that make it hard? Shouldnt it have made it easy? An easy fix or something? I can just take them down a notch and you can finish them off." Jasper shook his head.
"you dont have control over your powers yet, and i dont know enough about the gift to help you. I am almost positive carlisle would know what needed to be done to train you and get you ready." I laughed.
"Well he might know, but who says i have to do it? they wont force me to do anything without killing me. And I am not aposed to that anyways." I said getting up.
"Bella! Dont talk like that!" Emily and Sue jumped up and eyed me sternly. My eyes softened.
"Im sorry. I just dont have any will to stay. I want to be with him... like i had promised..." I took a shaky voice and looked at my ring. "When I accepted this ring." I said.
There was a small female high pitched laugh from outside the house, and all vampires and last wolf jumped up.
"Who the hell was that?" Emily demanded. I shook my head at her telling her to stop and stay seated.
"Oh Bella!" a sing song voice called out mockingly. "Come out to play!" It said, thats when jasper growled deeply and threateningly.
"Alice!" He roared dangerously, then took off to the woods in a blur.
"Bella, stay here and help paul protect the others!" Victoria yelled and took off into the night as well. I glanced at paul and the others and nodded my head. Determine laced my heart and i stood shoulder to shoulder with paul infront of my family. It would be over my dead corpse of someone got in here for them to.
I heard the first crack of a rock hitting the house, and saw the house shudder under the pressure. My ears were peeled and then i heard it again, and again. until The sound of beams splitting reached my ears.
"Paul, we have to get out of here!" I yelled grabbing Billy's chair and vampire speed pushing it out the door to safety. The door way crumbled behind us, effectively trapping the others inside the demoloshing house. I ran back up and threw a beam out of the way, seeing paul straining every ounce of strength he had to hold the pillars from falling on the two screaming women.
"Sue! Emily! Come on, Hurry! I yelled as i heard glass hit the house and the smell of fire caught my nose. Shit! The place was slowly igniting...
The women ran out of the house and i quickly made my way to paul, throwing the beam off his back and grabbing the beam he was holding, propping it up.
"Get out of here! Go!" I told him.
"No! I cant leave you in here! The fire will kill you!" He yelled. I leaned up and kissed his cheek softly.
"Jake wanted you to be the one to lead the new pack... you have to live. ill be fine paul, get out of here!" I yelled feeling the heat began to lightly touch the beam in my hand. He took one last look at me and took off. When he was saftly out of the house i slung the beam, trying to make the clearing open back up, but instead trapping myself further in this vampire death trap. I began to panic.
{VPOV}
We had been chasing this damn pixie around for the past hour, and this is the third time i am starting from the beginning of the forest. I neared the edge of the woods when the smell of blood and smoke hit my nose. squinting my eyes, i caught the flames licking into the air.
"JASPER! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!" I yelled and heard his footsteps change direction back to me.
"Damn it! This was a destraction!" He sped past me, whipping my hair in the wind.
We got to the house and saw paul tearing at the walls in wolf form trying to create an opening to the house.
"She's panicing! I cant get through to her to calm her down... Bella, You have to calm down and think!" Jasper screamed to her.
"I...I cant get out! Jasper!" She replied.
"Bella, were going to get you out, but you have to stay calm, your not going to to be able to get out if you dont!" I yelled to her. looking around me Emily and Sue were in hysterics. Billy was stearing shockingly at the place he called home burning right to the ground and Bella inside it.
"Paul, you have to stop!" Jasper said running up to paul who quickly turned on him and pinned him to the ground. Slowly his form began to change and paul got up, letting jasper up with him.
"I have to! She is in there because if me!" He yelled going back to tearing at the wall in human form.
"You gonna cave the whole place in like that..." Jasper went around to the back door and kicked it in, taking one step inside, fire came rushing out at him like a tornado.
"We cant get in... She is going to have to do this on her own." Jasper stood back and looked at the house.
"Bella! fight bella! For my son!" Billy said rolling as close to the house as he could without getting burned. Jasper's eyes got wide and he turned to billy.
"Keep going! her emotion is changing."
"Bella, please! Jake would have wanted you to live! Now get your ass out here!" Billy yelled. followed by the pleas of the women behind him.
We heard cracks in the wood, and splinters began to fly in each direction.
"Jasper, get everyone behind the truck!" I yelled, rolling billy behind the truck. as soon as the last person ducked, there was an explosion and chucks of the house flew over our heads, landing all over the yard.
I looked up from the others to the house and saw bella, standing in the middle of what used to be billy's house. A clear almost transparent bubble around her.
"Holy shit! She's a shield to?" Jasper asked dumbfounded.
