Summary: Emmett disagrees with his family, especially Edward,for leaving a heartbroken Bella behind after her birthday incident, so he decides to return and care for her.

" I wouldn't have left her like you did!"

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. Stephanie Meyer is the respective owner, I'm just fooling around with the characters.

" Jacob! Billy, open the door, please!" Bella shouted, pounding her fist onto the front door restlessly.

No answer.

She groaned, letting her fist slide down the wooden surface, after yet another useless attempt. Aside from her pounding and shouting, the area was still and quiet. A few chirps from birds that flew by, but other than that, she knew the answer; she knew why no one was at the door. No one was home. Either they weren't home, or they were pretending not to be.

But they didn't seem like the kind of people to do the latter, Bella figured.

She just wanted some answers, was that too much to ask?

He deserved to give her that much, I mean after all, he had been worrying about her in the first place, wanting to come see her. And now he was practically pushing her away, because of something he probably felt she wouldn't understand. And she guessed, in a way, that was true, but that didn't mean he had to completely shut her out.

" Where could he be-" She gasped as she heard a howl in the distance, and her breath hitched in her throat. Her head snapped behind her, towards the clearing on the other side of the road, leading deeper into La Push, and towards the large forest leading to First Beach; that had been where it came from.

That howl.

It sounded like a...wolf's.

Another one came shortly after.

" Jacob?" She said, slowly guiding herself down the stairs and away from the house. She kept walking then, past her truck and towards the other side of the road, each step swifter than the next, until she found herself running towards the source. She paced herself and ran, her feet crunching against twigs and leaves as she tried to catch up to the source.

She had to see, for herself.

If that was Jacob, which she really hoped it was, in the sense that she could finally confront him- he could also very well be in trouble.

It was Jacob.

It had to be.

She didn't stop, not until she looked behind her, and noticed she couldn't see their house anymore, or her truck.

She was far from there now, completely secluded, and it would be only a matter of time before she came face to face with a werewolf she knew all too well.

She panted, gasping for breath as she placed her hands on her hips, and then her knees. It had been the most running she had done since her freshman year of high school in Jacksonville. She had to admit, it was pitiful how so out of shape she was now. But then again, she hadn't been expecting to be doing any of this in the future either.

Just moments later, a noise came from her left, a few feet away, and she jumped upright. Her head whipped toward the sound, and saw nothing, just a bunch of trees jumbled together, making her ability to see anything else, even harder. She sighed, it was probably just a squirrel or something, nothing to get worked up about.

Crunch.

She gasped this time, a little shriek escaping from her mouth. She looked around hurriedly now, on full alert.

She wasn't alone, no, someone else was there with her.

Watching her.

Toying with her.

She turned in circles now, hands clenching at her sides- her eyes widened.

" Who's there?"

Crunch.

She caught a blur move past her and she gasped again.

And then- a chuckle.

" How strange it is to you see you here, and alone. J'aurais jurè tu as ètè pris, douce Bella. " Before she could turn around, she was grabbed by her arm; a cold hand, clasped around her throat, forcing her backside against them. Her eyes were wider than ever now, and she cried out in fear, her body stiff against the person holding her.

A menacing laugh afterward, was all it took for Bella to recognize who it was.

And she was terrified.

" L-Laurent." His hold tightened around her neck.

The last she had heard from him, he had escaped with Victoria after discovering what happened to James.

" You know it's quite strange," He said, chuckling again, his French accent thick as he muttered in her ear. "- to discover that those Cullens are no where near you, or Forks for that matter. I've made my rounds, and I think it's safe to say they've grown tired having to look after you, young one."

He leaned into her hair and sniffed. " Even when they seemed so determined to protect you during one of our little ball games. Especially the young-looking one, Edward-was it? And now look where you are, human. It's... too bad really, well I wouldn't say that; not unfortunate for me at least."

She gulped, stiff but shaking in his arms as he lowered his head into her neck and sniffed again. He chuckled, his breath cold on her skin, until she could feel him baring his lips there. She shrieked and squeezed her eyes shut, words spluttering from her mouth in a stammering mess. Her heart sped dangerously fast in her chest, and she was trembling so much she felt she could pass out at any second.

" H-How do you know they're not here right now?. They-They would never leave me, not if they knew I was still in danger!"

He snickered. " Still in denial, eh? Surely you're aware that they have left? Why else would they not be here, protecting you, from.. creatures like me?"

"You know.. Victoria has sent me here to keep an eye on you, to make sure there was some way we could... repay you for killing our friend, and, her lover. She wouldn't be too pleased... knowing I've killed her play toy. But now that I think about it, I was never really one for following orders." He added menacingly. He pulled her neck back forcefully and she whimpered through her teeth at the pain.

"W-What do you mean?" She cried out hurriedly, knowing it was stupid to try and make conversation.

But she would do anything at this point to keep him from draining her dry.

" How cute, that you have taken interest in my history, and at a time like this." He paused, then laughed, amused.

" I served one of the most infamous kings of my time, King Louis the sixteenth- an order from my creator while he slept with his women. Followed his orders, only to drain the blood from the guards, and soldiers; the people he loved most when he turned his back. Greedy bastard he was, so I snapped his neck as soon as I was told he was of no use to us anymore. We were nomads, my creator and I- encircling France to pleasure the needs we yearned to satisfy the most- and in turn, completely ridding humans of ever having to live in such a difficult time."

"His blood was.. not the best; he always had been a drunken fool. Besides, I find that my blood has to be-" he paused, tightening his grip around Bella's waist to kiss her neck.

"- pure, for me to enjoy it."

"P-Please don't! P-Please. I-"

"I think we've done enough talking. I can't wait anymore." He whispered, and in seconds she was on the ground. She cried out as her head smacked against the surface and trembled as he held her down, pinning her arms about her head with one arm, and the other at her waist, his thumb rubbing soft circles at her side. She squirmed uncomfortably.

" Stop!" His hand flew to her mouth to muffle her cries and he leaned in- eyes as dark and red as blood, peering into her watering brown ones. He snickered, letting his eyes wander her figure, and he licked his lips .

" Now, where should we start, sweet, sweet Bella?"

She squeezed her eyes shut and cried into his hand, his hands ghosting around her frame, down her neck, and near her torso. She shook her head, side by side.

This wasn't supposed to happen. She shuddered. She was as good as dead now, and all because she left school to come here.

She had left Emmett behind, who was completely unaware. Tears blurred her eyes.

" I'm going to enjoy this." He whispered, lowering his lips to her neck. She felt his teeth scrap her neck, and then he bit down. She cried out in pain as he punctured her neck. It burned as he started to drink and he moaned instantly, gripped her neck tighter between his fingers.

" Oh Bella, you taste... divine."

She screamed.

" Ahh!"

Her eyes opened as soon as she heard his cry.

It took a few moments for her to register what had happened.

He wasn't... there anymore.

" W-What?"

She sat and scrambled to turn around when she heard a cry- then a thud on the ground, followed by a loud growl.

Her eyes widened.

The wolf.

The wolf was there, right in front of her.

And it was growling at Laurent.

It was enormous, standing there, a couple feet from Bella- its large russet backside standing protectively near her. It was nothing like.. Bella ever imagined, seeing it there for the first time, and it was.. trying to save her. It's large head turned to look into her eyes, and it was hard to breath, meeting its gaze for the first time. They were a deep, but warm shade of brown- almost black- and they looked so familiar.

It had to be.

" Jacob." She whispered- her voice cracking as she felt a lump in her throat.

It groaned, panting- staring at her with a worried look in its eyes.

But before it could turn back, the vampire leaped.

" Jacob! Look out!"

Laurent struck and wrestled him to the ground, fangs bared and eyes blazing even redder than before. The wolf flung the vampire off, growling, and send him to the ground once more. Laurent was up in a flash and hissing, visibly irritated. He panted, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, and took a step back as the wolf approached him. He wanted revenge.

And he wanted blood.

" Victoria never mentioned that- wolves- were.. amongst us." He said slowly, circling the area.

And as fearless as he tried to appear, he honestly looked terrified.

Bella slowly rose from her position on the ground and started taking a few steps back, careful not to alert Laurent while he seemed distracted.

She had to make a break for it.

But she couldn't leave Jacob- not with...

She dropped to her knees, gasping. Her head, hurt- immensely. It was throbbing, so much she started to feel weak.

She gasped as she felt something grip her shoulders firmly, and she forced her head to turn upright. Her breath hitched in her throat.

" Emmett? W-What are you doing here?"

"I-I followed you. Jesus- w-what the hell were you thinking?" He stammered this time- anger and panic in his voice.

" But the treaty-"

" Bella, I don't care! Damn it- you're way more important than some stupid treaty!" A growl rang through the air, followed by hissing, and she felt Emmett circle his arms around her waist as she fell forward slightly, pressed her to his chest as he kneeled. He stood then, cradling her to his chest. She blinked slowly, feeling her vision starting to fade- Emmett's topaz eyes widening considerably as he looked from her to the sight in front of him. He cursed as he supported the back of her head- and she winced.

" Bella... Bella you're bleeding.. y-you're neck... Bella- Bella! Look at me! "

She tried to form words with her lips, but she couldn't.

She felt so... tired.

" Bella, listen to me, try to stay awake."

"Jesus, why would you risk your life going off like this?"

" Jac-ob." She uttered, white spots starting to cloud her vision, and she felt her head slip to her right.

She could see it happening, as she felt Emmett hold her secure against his chest.

Laurent backhanding the russet wolf to the ground. It whined, but was on its feet in seconds- and before Laurent could strike again...

Another wolf pounced on him- one even bigger than the one before, only it was black.

No.. no... that can't be right.

He was on the ground, hissing and yelling as he was pinned onto his back by the large paws of the black wolf, gnawing at his throat.

A few others appeared behind him, growling and scraping as the vampire cried out in pain during his last few moments of life.

He was completely helpless, and close to death.

" Bella I think... I think... Jacob's gonna be okay."

And then slowly... she felt herself slip away. Out of Emmett's grasp...

And into a world of... black.

Author's Note: Hey hey! So I hoped this could make up for the last chapter, which I had finished and done- tonight, place of my English reading and homework!( Gonna go do that now!) I hoped you guys liked it and I think you'll start to see the plot start to form from here on out, and I hope I'll continue to do as good of a job as you guys say I do!

As you can see, I've stuck with the original somewhat, with Laurent and everything. I didn't want to stray away to far, but I promise this version of New Moon won't be as disappointing, at least I don't think it has been with what I've done with it so far. I really hope you guys like the ideas I'm putting out.

I'll try to update as soon as I can, maybe once or twice a week if I get less homework- but I'll try even more tomorrow since it's the weekend!

Anyways, you know what to do, and I look forward to hearing from you guys!

Review! :)
