Chapter 4: The Return of Vampire Girl

Eight years pass

Jacob Black was a well-known man in LaPush and even more so within his own tribe. As a joke his dad got him a bumper stick that read, "Women love me. Men fear me." And as much of a joke it may have been; it was also true.

Jacob tall, tanned, muscular and handsome had the attention of every woman in LaPush. Ever since he was sixteen he'd had their attention. But now that he was over eighteen, enough over eighteen for it not to cause too much scandal to date him, every woman seemed to be gunning for him.

"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, son," Billy would tell him. "Brings you a lot of business." Jacob would inwardly sigh at that. Sometimes he wondered if the women of LaPush purposely broke down their cars just so that he would fix them.

"Jacob, Sam's on the phone for you," Billy was already wheeling over the handset. Jacob eyed the wheels of his father's wheel chair from the underneath of a black 67 Shelby Eleanor Mustang. "I'm working," Jacob growled.

His father laughed. "I can see that. Sam says it's important. It's about a Cullen returning to Forks. He said that the tribe wants your opinion since you're the Alpha now." Jake caught the phone as his father dropped into his outreached hand.

"I'm with Eleanor right now Sam what do you want?"

Sam's bark of laughter echoed on the cement floor of the garage. "Are you going to get any soon from this "Eleanor." You've been ditching your pack for the last three months to spend time with her."

Jake smiled and wheeled himself out from under his car. "Maybe. I'm still trying to convince her to let me ride her."

Sam laughed again. "That's kinda crude coming from you brother but whatever works. I wouldn't pull you away from your lady unless it was important. I know this is your day off."

--"Was my day off," Jacob muttered walking over to the back sink to wash his hands with lava soap. "You said it was the Cullens. I thought we told them to move out of Forks and stay out."

"Yesss…we did. But that was years ago and we figured you'd want to revisit this issue. I say we tell her to go back to Alaska with the rest of them but Jared disagrees. Then again he always liked her too." Sam snorted.

Something wasn't making sense in Jacob's line of thought.

"Jared doesn't like vampires."

"Vampire. One. The rest of the Cullens are staying in Alaska. It's that Vampire-girl Isabella Swan. She wants to come back here."

----

"Vampire. One. The rest of the Cullens are staying in Alaska. It's that Vampire-girl Isabella Swan. She wants to come back here."

"Shit," Jacob called out as he squeezed the soap so hard that it slid and dived into the open toilet.

"What was that,"—Jacob swore again staring at the red soap at the bottom of it's water grave.

"Nothing," he growled.

---

Jacob was not in the mood to be with his pack. Not that he didn't love his pack just that he could tell that every single one of them was probing about his thoughts about Bella Swan and that it took every ounce of his learned discipline to keep them from hearing his not so happy opinion,

-"The meeting is commenced," Sam's voice rang out in the community center where about fifty members sat, twenty pack members, ten human mates of pack members, and ten past pack members. Sam, Emily, Jacob and Billy sat at the head on a makeshift stage. Last year Jacob had chosen each of them to be a part of what he termed his counsel. Sam was chosen as he was Jacob's right hand and the substitute Alpha. Billy had been a member of the pack but had chosen mortality for Jacob's mother and so could offer wisdom that came from being older membe, and Emily was the sympathetic mortal perspective. In a way, they all balanced each other.

"First item, Isabella Swan Cullen."

Jacob braced himself for the onslaught, imagining that his brain was a black lead box. Still the occasional loud thought interrupted his concentration.

-"Vampire Girl"--

-"Jacob was really heart broken over her"--

Billy nudged Jacob with his elbow. "Your expression could scare small children right now, son."

"First in favor of Isabella Swan Cullins returning to Forks is Jared.

Jared stood before Billy, Jacob, Sam, and Emily taking off his baseball cap and rubbing the brim nervously with his fingers.

"F-From what we heard from our sources connected to the Volturi, Bella has been turned." The sea of voices rose and Jared had to raise his voice above them. Sam hit the wooden gavel against the podium. "Quiet! Let him finish."

Jared coughed as he looked up and then away from Jacob's stony expression.

"They said that Bella's, I mean Isabella's specific powers are to "shield." This means that Isabella can block out other vampire's powers including the Volturi's." A hush blanketed the room. Jared continued nervously on. "What's more is that a complication from her turning and her powers make it so that she doesn't appear completely vampiric. H-Her skin does not sparkle and she has appeared to age, although very very slowly. Because she is a Cullen, she does not consume human blood and would only hunt on designated night like the Cullins did before her. Because of this," Jared took a deep breath. "I-think-we-should-let-Bella-Swan-in-Forks," the last sentence was rushed and once said Jared quickly made his way to his seat avoiding Jacob's eyes which were already turning golden with suppressed anger.

Sam glanced at Jacob and exhaled a sigh. "Opposing Isabella Swan Cullins admission to Forks is Leah Clearwater."

Leah took her position to the front of the room not nervously as Jared had, but resolutely.

"Bella Swan is a threat." Her words rang out clearly. "Her powers over other vampires make her so. She has always attracted trouble to Forks and this time will be no different except that due to her divorce with Edward Cullins"-

Jacob choked.

WHAT!?

His angry outraged thought was loud enough to ring out in every head of every person there. Leah paused a small, amused smile playing on her features.

"Furthermore, as I was saying she is no longer attached to the vampire Edward Cullen, meaning that she would primarily protecting herself and if the tribe chose to take her admission we would also be choosing to protect her."

A rush of thoughts came towards Jacob at the word "divorce". Even blocking them it was giving him a headache. Sam eyed him warily. They would try to end this quickly before Jacob had to exscue himself.

Sam hit his gavel again. "The Counsel will vote now. Yea for Isabella's admittance, neigh for denial of admittance."-He turned towards his wife, "Yea." Sam turned to Billy, "Yea." Sam sighed as he glanced at Jacob whose fingernails had carved crescent moons into the chair. His "Neigh" was bitten out from clenched teeth, Sam sighed. "Yea."

It was all Jacob could take, his eyes glowing he stormed out of the room before he could transform.

It took Jacob ten full minutes before he didn't want to rip the throat out of every person in the room who thought, Does Jacob still love Bella?

"Having a wolf hissy-fit out there son?" His father's voice rang out to him. Jacob was pulling on his pants that he had the foresight to take off before he transformed. His shirt wasn't has lucky.

"Take my jacket," Billy managed to smile at his son's stony glare. "Don't want to cause any female heart attacks when we explain our decision."

The reason he didn't want Bella back in forks. He didn't need a reason. The thought came and went. Jacob sighed. He couldn't act like this. Sure, there was a counsel but only because he appointed one. His decision could be the ultimate one. Bella was clouding his judgment.

He reclaimed his seat on the stage as Sam called order. Emily of course went first.

"Taking into consideration of what Leah and Jarad said I think Bella would be a great asset to the tribe since she already knows and has kept our secret. Furthermore, she would be a great asset in defending both LaPush and Forks against other vampires." Sam and Billy nodded showing that Emily's line of reasoning was theirs as well.

Jacob was still scowling. The council turned to hear his reasoning, "I agree with Leah," he countered lamely. "Isabella attracts trouble."

I say think about her genes! If she mated with one of the tribe a truly powerful line could be created especially if it was with say the Alpha- Billy's very public thought rang almost as loudly as Jacob's interruptive, Dad! SHUTUP!

There was laughter at Billy's suggestion as always was and humiliation on Jacob's part of his father airing out his desire for grandkids to the whole tribe. Sam concluded the meeting with his thoughts, "I may not like her but I have considered both sides and I agree with Emily and Billy that Isabella Swan Cullen is a valuable asset to the tribe and it should be taken into consideration that if a member of the tribe wishes to mate with her that it would be encouraged. Meeting adjourned."
