"Alright you're done for the day, I'll see you next week", said Mandi. She was my physical therapist for the next few weeks. I had my cast removed two days ago and was ready to walk on my own, well almost. I still wore an air cast to support my knee. Getting my cast removed was a relief, since I hated being pushed around everywhere, but it was gross. It smelled bad and that leg looked somewhat smaller than my normal leg.

"Okay Mandi see you next week. I'll do the exercises you told me to on my own", I said quickly seeing her about to say something. I limped to Maw-Maw and we got in the car and took off into the night. Usually I would want Jake to come with me but since he had patrol Maw-Maw took me instead. We stopped my the pharmacy to get a refill of my pain medicine and my new birth control prescription.

"Alright I gotta go meet Mary up at bingo. I love you and lock the doors", she said while dropping me off at home. I gave her a kiss and grabbed the Walgreen's bag before heading inside. My knee was in pain but I ignored it. If I ever wanted it to get better and possibly be able to dance again then I would have to suck it up.

Once inside I decided I'd do a little chores since I was bored. Jake was doing patrol and Leah had a family thing tonight. I put few jalapeno poppers in the oven and began picking up as much as I could. The house wasn't really messy at all so I just ended up straightening the shoes, which was hard since bending over in the air case was very uncomfortable.

I took the poppers out of the oven and set them on the butterfly rack to cool. Looking around I seen that the garbage needed to be taken out so I decided to just do that. I walked out the back door and headed for the garbage cans. After putting the garbage in the can I turned around to head back inside when I felt shivers run down my spine. This was nothing like the shivers I got with Jake, they weren't pleasant. I felt like someone was watching me so I looked around the back yard with narrowed eyes, not seeing anyone.

I felt my heart rate pick up and my breathing became a shallow. I put my head down and began to limp back to the door. I made it about 2 feet when a red-headed woman was all of a sudden standing before me. I stared at her with wide eyes before taking in her features. She was shorter than me by a few inches and was extremely pale with red eyes. A vampire.

I took an instinctive step back with my heart beating frantically in my chest. She just smiled at me and shook her head making a tsk noise you would hear a mother make to her misbehaving child.

"Don't back away sweetie, it's no use. I haven't eaten in awhile and you smell absolutely wonderful", she purred before taking a fast step toward me again. She raised her hand and ran a finger down my neck. I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest and I was breathing really fast. I went to take a step back but she just caught my wrist with her iron-like grip, preventing me from moving anywhere. I felt tears prick my eyes and felt my body shake.

"Oh don't cry darling, it won't hurt to much. Just a quick snack before I head back home", she said in her high pitched voice. I began to struggle against her and opened my mouth and let out a very loud, bloodcurdling scream. She growled at me before grabbing me by the neck, effectively cutting of my scream. The tears were freely falling from my eyes now and my lungs were constricting from the lack of oxygen.

"Shut up!", she hissed at me before letting me fall to the ground. When I hit the ground my knee gave a sharp pain and I gasped out. I was thankful for the oxygen and clutched at my throat trying to rub some of the pain away. I heard a whoosh of air and looked up just in time to see the red-head jump at me. All of a sudden she was on top of me and had me pinned with my arms above my head. I gave out another scream, though not as loud as before due to the soreness of my throat.

I felt something hard hit my cheek and nose making my face jerk to the other side while a snarl sounded in my ear. I sobbed harder and my body was now violently shaking. I kept my face turned so that my hair covered my eyes. I didn't want to see her at all.

"I said shut up, fucking loud mouth", she snarled in my ear once more. Keeping my face covered and turned I began begging.

"P-p-ple-please d-don-don't ki-kill m-me", I sobbed out to her. She just laughed and I felt her hand grasp my chin, as if to pull my face up to expose my neck. She never got to get very far though when all of a sudden her body weight flew off me and a loud growl issued from above me. I turned my face up and brought my hands down to my chest. When my hair fell out of my face I seen a something hairy above me. I turned to my head to the side slightly and seen huge, furry legs on either side of me.

"J-J-Jake?", I whimpered out. I felt something soft brush against my legs and knew he was answering me. He was standing in his wolf from above me so that I was completely covered by his huge, hulking form. I heard him snarl loudly he shifted so that he was slightly in front of me but still covering me from above. I turned around so that I was laying on my stomach with one elbow propped up to support my body weight. I looked down and seen blood was dripping on my hand. I grabbed my nose to stop the bleeding and looked to the tree line where the red-headed chick was.

"Aw is this the wittle puppy's owner? How sweet", she said in a sing song voice, though she was looking at me hungrily. Jake gave a fearsome snarl which was instantly responded to with a hiss. Then the sounds of other growls filled the yard and I seen other wolves appear. She looked around and seen all the wolves before taking off at lightening speed. All the wolves followed her in an instant except for Jake. He stood above me in his protective stance not moving for a few minutes before moving from above me. He moved to the side before he began shaking and growing smaller. Soon he was normal again and naked though I hardly noticed. I was still crying, shaking, and trying to get my nose to stop bleeding, though it wasn't working.

He pulled on his shorts and grabbed me in his warm arms before running back into the house and locking the door behind him. He closed the curtains before walking to my room, which was still downstairs for the time being. He sat down on the bed with me in his lap and grabbed the box of tissues from the nightstand and gently held them to my nose. He was looking over my body frantically while he finally got the bleeding to stop.

"Angel? Are you okay? I'm so sorry I wasn't here faster. Please tell me your okay!", he was speaking fast and I seen tears in his eyes but I couldn't comfort him. I just wrapped my arms around his waist and cried into his warm chest. He held me tightly whispering promises in my ear to never let me out of his sight again. I just sobbed and held him tightly while he buried his face into my hair.

The door suddenly burst open and I screamed clutching onto Jake even tighter. He growled and pulled me behind him, quickly standing up in a protective stance. He was shaking violently before he seen who it was and slowly calmed down. I peeked from behind him and seen that it was Embry and Sam in the door way with the rest of the guys behind them. They gave Jake a look and he balled his fist looking pissed but nodding his head anyway. I knew by those looks that they hadn't caught her. My heart rate quickened and I began to hyperventilate. They all looked over at me before Jacob snapped out something and they all left quickly. He came over to me and rocked me gently back in forth in his arms.

"It's okay, we'll catch her. She'll never be near you again, I promise with my life", he gently soothed. I calmed down after an hour and felt exhausted. He stood up with me in his arms before walking into the bathroom and setting me gently down on the toilet seat. He started the water in the tub and filled it up halfway, adding a bit of bubbles. He looked over at me with questioning eyes and I gave a sleepy nod in reply. He helped me get undressed and take off my air cast before setting me down in the tub. With his help I get myself clean and wrap myself in a towel before heading back into my 'room'.

I get dressed into a cami and some boy shorts and he softly brushes my hair. When he's done I grab his hand and crawl into bed with him in tow. He lays down and I put my head on his chest snuggling up to his warmth. He locks his arms around me protectively, pulling me closer to his body. I felt myself begin to drift off into sleep with my face, wrist, and knee still throbbing painfully.

"Thank you Jake. I love you", I manage to mumble out before drifting off even more.

"Don't thank me, I'll always protect you. I won't ever let anything hurt you ever again, I promise. I love you so much, goodnight Angel", he says before kissing me on my head and pulling my body impossibly closer to his while tightening his grip on me.

I fall asleep with those words knowing that he would give his life to keep that promise.

I'm thinking about doing the next chapter in Jake's POV when Angelica is sleeping, but I'm not sure. Tell me what you think, I'm open to suggestions.
