Another chapter :) Coming closer to the end of this installment :( But not the series :)

Enjoy!

I own nothing but Casey.


Bella POV

We arrived in the clearing that we had decided would be the best for us to use for the fight and Edward directed me in the direction that would catch the newborns attention the fastest. On the way back, I fell, which wasn't all that surprising, and cut my hand. I spread the little blood that was there around on various things. When Edward and I got back, Casey was standing in the middle of the clearing with a knife against her wrist.

"Casey no!" I yelled starting to run to her afraid of her hurting herself but Edward grabbed me before I could go too far.

"She knows what she's doing," he whispered in my ear.

I was barely listening though as I watched her. Her eyes were closed and she looked peaceful as she set the knife against her wrist and with a quick movement, cut it. She was back in the jumpsuit thing that she had worn at both of the trainings and she slid the knife into a holster on her hip. She opened her eyes and focused on the cut with her hand just above it. She lifted her hand and a thin stream of blood rose into the air slowly forming a ball hovering just above her skin. Once it reached the size of a golf ball, she raised the cut wrist to her lips and licked the cut.

Casey turned her attention back to the ball of blood and reached out as if to touch it but just as she was about to, she spun making a ring of blood around her. She flicked her wrist and the ring started growing moving farther away from her until the ring stopped expanding. Then suddenly it disappeared.

"Jasper will definitely thank you for that," Edward said ushering me closer to her.

"Figured it would drive the newborns crazy," she said with a smirk on her face.

"Jake's not with you?" I asked looking around the clearing for him.

She shook her head, "He should be here soon, he had to check on some last minute stuff with Sam…" she trailed off at the end of her sentence as she turned towards the woods behind her. A smile spread across her face and she took off running towards Jacob who had just stepped out of the woods. She leaped at him and he caught her easily in his arms pulling her down into a kiss. She broke away after a moment laughing as she tugged his over to Edward and I by the hand making my heart sink.

"Hey, Jake," I said a little embarrassed by their display.

"Hey, Bella," he said obviously not noticing my discomfort. "Leech," he said turning to Edward.

Casey laughed bumping his hip with hers as she wrapped her arm around his waist.

"Dog," Edward replied.

Casey still had a smile on her face but she rolled her eyes at him.

"So where am I taking Bella?" Jacob asked.

"You'll just follow me," Casey said. "I got the route in my head Eddie."

Edward flinched at the name. "It's about nine miles from here. I'll take the long way and meet all of you there."

He nodded and I stepped towards Jake who swung me up into his arms without warning, making a squeal escape me.

"Be careful with her," Edward ground out through clenched teeth.

"Don't worry, she's not that breakable," Casey said with a smile.

What has her so happy?

"The thought of a fight," she responded to my thoughts.

Both of the guys looked at her strangely, wondering what she was talking about.

"Hello! Private conversation!" she said motioning between the two of us with a smile still on her face. "Anyway, we should get moving. The air is agitated meaning that a storm is coming."

Jacob chuckled and shook his head at her. I turned to look for Edward but he was already gone. Jacob turned and started running for the woods with Casey leading the way but once we hit the trees, Casey leaped up into the trees and out of sight.

"How are you going to follow her if you can't see her?"

"A couple of ways actually. One, of course is sense of smell. While it is faint, as long as I stay close enough, I'll be able to follow it before it disappears. Two, is that if I start to veer off course, she'll let me know through our minds. And three, I can feel what direction she's in because of the imprint. It pulls me in the direction that she's in."

"Oh."

He laughed at the surprise in my voice and increased the speed of his running. The feeling of his warmth was incredible, so strong and secure.

"You don't have to go so fast, you'll wear out."

"I can't remember the last time I was tired, physically at least. Being around that one," he nodded his head up into the trees, "always drains me mentally."

A pine cone sailed through the air and hit Jacob and caused him to look up into the tree canopy.

"Watch it, fuzzball," Casey's voice said from above.

"What're you gonna do? Throw another pine cone at me?"

This time an acorn nailed him in the head.

"Always a comedian," Jacob muttered.

Casey's laugh filtered through the trees making a smile appear on his face making my heart sink again.

We were silent for awhile with only the sound of the wind speeding up as it rushed through the treetops to fill the silence. Every once in awhile I would see Casey waiting for us on a branch before she would take off ahead of us again and every time that she was within seeing distance, a smile would break out across Jacob's face, practically splitting his face in two.

"We're here," Casey said suddenly landing in front of us and slowing slighting to run beside Jacob. "I'm glad we got here before that hit," Casey nodded up at a black wall of clouds that blurred everything underneath it.

"You guys need to hurry so you don't get caught in it," I said.

Casey laughed as the wind that was picking up blew her hair around causing her to pull the messy curls into a ponytail. "We're not leaving, Bella. Jake's acting as cell phone until Seth gets here tomorrow and I'm here to provide heat in case it gets too cold. Which I'm pretty sure it will."

As if to reinforce what Casey had just said the wind howled making the trees creak and groan and making me thankful to be wrapped in Jake's warmth.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shut up," Casey mumbled.

"Who are you talking to?" I asked.

"The air. It's trying to send me a vision. What?" she froze. "Fucking damn it all to HELL!" She practically screamed before stomping to where the tent was set up.

"What was that about?" I asked staring after her.

"No idea," Jake said setting me down.

Edward was over to me in a second and had me gathered in his arms. "You got here sooner than I expected. I'm glad. This storm is going to be horrible."

"The tent's secure right?"

"It is," Casey said walking over to us pausing briefly at the trunk of a tree and pushing something small and shiny into the bark of the tree. "I don't think the wind will blow that over."

I turned and found that where the blue and yellow tent had been was now a half sphere with a hole that showed just a small part—about the size that a person could fit through—of the tent canvas.

"Um, yeah, I think we'll be good," I mumbled as Edward ushered me in and zipped it shut.

Casey POV

*Flashback*

I fell to my knees and onto my back as I held my head in my hands. The pain was starting and I knew it would only get worse before it got any better.

The images flashed in front of my open eyes and I writhed in agony. I heard Jacob yelling my name but I couldn't respond. Hot tears streaked down my face as I saw a vampire fighting with a grey wolf. I saw the wolf's eyes, Leah's eyes. "LEAH! NO!" I knew the scream was mine but the scream grew louder when I saw Jake jump in front of her. "JAKE STOP! PLEASE!" the vision continued showing his pain as the vampire attacked him. I felt someone wiping away my tears but I could only see the vision. The pictures faded to black and I woke up with Jacob holding me tight against his body.

.

How could I have forgotten that vision! I was such an idiot. The bloodlust that was so clearly evident on that vampire's face was the bloodlust of a newborn. Maybe I could stop it if I kept my eyes open but I had never been able to change the future before. Hopefully I could now especially with how strange my last vision was…Those five faces, I wanted to know who they were so bad! But for the life of me I couldn't figure them out. They were so familiar but so unlike any of the faces that I knew. It didn't help that they never stayed in my mind long enough for me to understand anything about what I was seeing either. I sighed quietly and snuggled closer into Jake's embrace within the double sleeping bag. I didn't want him to get hurt, it would kill me to see him in pain and yet I was going to have to deal with it.

I looked over to where Bella was shivering uncontrollably.

"Bella, get over her. You're freezing," I said.

"N-n-n-o, I-i-i-'m-m f-f-i-i-n-n-ne," she chattered through her teeth.

I looked up at Edward with annoyed look that hopefully read as something along the lines of, 'aren't you going to help?'

Edward was sitting as far away from her as was possible with a pained expression on his face, not that his face looked any different from normal. He shrugged his shoulders.

As if I could make her change her mind, he thought.

I sighed and unzipped my sleeping bag and rolled Bella so that the zipper on hers was on the same side as mine and Jake's.

"Get your ass in here before you lose your toes," I muttered unzipping her bag and pulling her in between Jacob and I.

"Jesus Bella!" Jacob said recoiling slightly when she pressed her fingers to his bare chest. I rolled my eyes as I zipped the bag closed and pulled Bella's jacket off of her. I somehow managed to get her shoes off her feet too and pushed them out of the bag. I placed my hands onto her neck and closed my eyes focusing on pushing warmth from my body into hers making my body shiver slightly as the heat was siphoned away. Jake's eyes snapped to mine at the shiver and he reached out gently rubbing my arm up and down to share his warmth with me. I sent a smile his was as I felt Bella's body temperature rise to a normal level and pulled my hands away from her neck as I felt her relax away into sleep. I focused my energy then on rising my temperature back up to normal as well as I fell into the black abyss.

.

Pale hands ran up smooth russet skin, skimming over the hills and valleys of a sculpted abdomen and chest before lightly running nails back down, drawing a soft moan from the man below. Hips rolling together, filling the room with soft moans and sighs. Large, rough hands skimming up the smooth, creamy, naked skin to the soft swells of breast. The woman tossed her head back, sending long brown hair flying as the played with the hardened rosen peaks in the center of her breasts.

"Jacob," the voice whispered as a plea for more.

No, the voice is wrong. It's not Jacob, it's Jake…

The woman leaned down from her perch on top of the man to his neck gently kissing and caressing it with her tongue making another louder groan escape the man.

No, Jake doesn't like the soft that much. He likes to be nipped.

The pale hands once again slithered down that perfect chest down even further than before to hardness that brought the ultimate pleasure. Long slender fingers wrapped around it gently moving up and down the shaft making the man's back to arch off of the bed.

No, Jake likes it faster, with a tighter grip.

The moans grew louder until the man fell over the edge with a yell.

BELLA!

I jumped awake trying to understand the dream but it was still running through my head. The dream wasn't over…

"Your turn now," he growled pinning Bella to the bed.

I checked Jake's mind frantically hoping that it wasn't coming from him.

"I love you Faith" he whispered pulling the dream me closer to him and fusing his lips to mine.

I pulled myself from his mind and focused on Bella.

"Yes! Jacob!" she cried as Jake licked up her slit making her body tremble uncontrollably.

I pulled away and jumped out of the sleeping bag and out into the early morning air. Bella at least lusted after Jake. How had I missed that? I was thankful that Edward hadn't been in the tent to see my reaction but I didn't doubt that he was watching me now. I raised the snow off of a rock nearby and heated the rock slightly so I didn't freeze my ass off as I sat down. Why was Bella suddenly interested in Jacob? And how had I never heard it in her thoughts before now? I buried my head in my knees as I pulled my legs up to my chest. Would they have ended up together if I had never came here? If Jake hadn't of imprinted on me? Was I keeping him from true happiness?

Tears started to fall down my cheeks as my heart was squeezed tighter and tighter. I was drowning in self doubt. Was I never supposed to end up with Jake? Was it just a fluke? Did he only love me because I would make the strongest puppies? I curled even further into a ball as the tears fell even faster down my cheeks. This was all so messed up! I loved Jake and Jake loved me cause of wolfy magic and Bella loved Edward but lusted after Jake and Edward loved Bella. Edward and I really got the raw end of this deal if Jake actually had feelings for Bella.

I quickly wiped the tears off of my cheeks as I heard Jake's breath start to quicken, meaning that he would be waking up soon. I heard the crunching of snow and turned to see Seth walking up to me.

"Hey Seth," I said plastering a smile on my face.

Hey, Casey, he replied.

"Everyone down at the clearing already?"

He nodded his big wolf head and I stood brushing off my butt even though there was nothing on it.

"Let Jake know I already went down," I said quietly not looking at Seth as I took off towards the clearing trying to put all thoughts of Bella and Jake out of my head.


Ok, please don't hate me for this! Or the next chapter... Let me know what you think.
