Hi guys thanks for hanging on and your patience. But moving took quite a bit of time. And I am still setting up house. So -new chapters will probably come slowly. Also I had one revier asking if this would be Bella /Jacob. Sorry no, they will probably sleep with each other at some point but this will be a Bella/Edward fic. Honestly if I had to choose for myself I would always choose Jacob. But for Bella I would always choose Edward. So sorry to dissapoint.

Jacob Black, the Pack and a Surprise
He stopped, looking as shocked as I felt. He carefully came closer. He moved his head as if scenting the air.
Then he ran at me and hugged me close to him.
"Oh Bella you're back. You are finally back." He sobbed. He was actually crying.
I thought quickly. Do I tell Jacob? I owe him. But his mind wasn't safe Edward might hear it. And I could not shield him all the time. Methos had a similar shield to mine only not quite so strong but enough mental discipline not to let his thoughts wander. But Jacob? And there was also the Rest of the pack to consider. If there was one. Because Jacobs thoughts would be the packs thoughts.
My thoughts were interrupted. When he took my face in his hands and kissed me. Softly, sweetly. And I knew. As I knew 30 years ago when I had an epiphany I had loved and still loved him. It just wasn't as all consuming as it was with Edward. He wasn't the ONE. He was a soul mate but not THE soul mate.
I distanced myself from him a little. I had decided. He would have to be kept in the dark. But I also would make my feelings clear to him. "So would you mind telling me why you snogged me? It's not every day that a handsome stranger goes and does that. " I quickly got the ivory dagger out of my sleeve and pressed it lightly at the crotch of his shorts " If you hadn't been crying, I would have defended myself harshly. But know this if you ever do that without my consent again" pressed in more "I will cut off your dick." I smiled at him maliciously.
He promptly leaped backwards and looked at me shocked. But comprehending that apparently I did not 'come back' with my memories.
"My, my it seems I have quick learner." I giggled. "Now be nice, why did you call me Bella? Why is there a girl buried whose picture looks freakishly like me and why on earth did you kiss me?"
"My Name is Jacob Black. What is your Name?" he countered.
"My Name is Ellanore Mary McLeod, Friends call me Ella."
"Ella." he tried out how that sounded. Then he smiled. "Friends call me Jake."
"Hello Jake do you mind answering the rest of my questions?"
"Uhm it will be easier if I show you. Uhm could you turn around."
"Why?"
"Because I am going to take of my shorts so I can transform into a wolf."
I cocked an eyebrow as if I didn't believe.
"Really honest," he added. He waited for me to turn around. " Do you mind?"he asked and gestured at me.
"Oh no not at all, feel free to strip." I gestured at him.
"I will." He said threatingly.
"So do!" I countered.
He did and I let my gaze run over him appreciatively. I could tell he expected me to blush. But I had trained that habit nearly away a long time ago. He changed into a wolf before I could look my fill. It was so sudden I actually did startle backwards. I took out my second Ivory dagger and got into a defensive position.
I made my expression one of shock and fear.
He tried to step towards me but I shouted.
"Stay away. Unless you want to get stabbed." I growled quite impressively for a human.
He morphed back and put on his shorts I eyed him carefully, cautiously.
"I'm not gonna hurt you Bella. Relax. I'm a friendly werewolf. Honest." He smiled.
I snorted. "Says the big bad wolf to little red riding hood."
The only answer he had was great big booming laugh. I couldn't help it, I laughed as well. I really had missed him a great deal. My best friend. My Sun.
And then something changed within me. My decision shifted. No. I had to tell him. I owed him the truth for the pain I had brought him. And my plan be damned if this destroyed it. It would hurt him so much if I lied to him now.
"Oh Jake, I missed you so much. I really do love you. But I am afraid it is not the love you have longed for." I said.
He looked at me oddly. Not comprehending.
"My Name now is Ella McCleod. But My first Name my birth Name is Isabella Marie Swan. My Grave! I waved at it. "is empty. I came back to life."
He looked at me speechless. And then he seemed to control himself.
"Is it really you?" he asked softly.
"Yes, my Jacob. It is." I confirmed.
"Then why do you sound all British with a Scottish accent?" he enquired.
"Oh, that is just habit. You see in this life and person I am the daughter of the Duncan McCleod." I said in my american English without the british and Scottish.
"Let me guess it's a very long story." He countered. I don't think he had quite grasped that it was me completely yet.
"I'm immortal." I answered with a smirk.
He rolled his eyes. "Apparently not that long."
This familiar banter seemed to finally get a reaction out of him.
He quite suddenly hugged me to himself again. Tightly. When I choked out "Can't…Breathe."
He loosened his grip. But then he tried kissing me again. And I slid a dagger out of my sleeve and pressed it into his throat.
He walked backwards a bit and eyed the knife.
"Jake, Jake. Didn't I threaten dire consequences if you assaulted me again?" I said politely but very seriously.
"What happened to you Bella?" he asked, just as seriously.
"Everything." I answered simply. "If you want the whole story Jake. Perhaps we can go to La Push? I am here with my bike." I continued.
"Uh, sure." He paused. "Did you say bike?" his eyes lit up with interest.
"Yeah my Ducati 1001. Although I made several modifications to it, so now it is a fair bit faster." I absentmindedly noticed I had fallen back into British pronounciation with some Scottish.
"Really YOU made modifications?" he asked disbelievingly. "What modifications?" he enquired.
And I launched into an explanation, and while he listened attentively we walked hand in hand towards the exit of the cementary and towards my bike.
I got out my helmet. Which ironically was a dark maroonish red.
He chuckled.
I lifted an eyebrow at him.
He gestured to the helmet with a big grin and said "little red riding hood." He laughed again.
I laughed as well.
I drove the way I remembered and I knew when we entered La Push. Oddly enough it had not changed much. Only the technology was updated here or there.
When I slowed and came to a halt at the Blacks old home. It still looked the same. Although it seems to have gotten a fresh coat of paint recently.
I was a bit surprised to see people exiting that I knew.
Jared, Embry and Seth walked towards us with a smile on their faces. There were 3 others I did not know.
I took off my helmet. And the reaction was quite instantaneous. After looking at me open mouthed they stopped catching flies and had the widest grins ever.
When I hung my helmet on the motorcycle. I was suddenly engulfed in a big group hug.
I was surrounded by the 3 boys. And they were all talking at once.
Crazy girl! Bella is that really you? Finally you took your sweet time getting re-incarnated. Bella do you remember us? Maybe Jacob will stop moping now. Bella looking good! We missed you loca! You stupid brave idiot! … and more along the same line.
I was overwhelmed. It had not been like this when I was last alive. Sure they were friendly but this? It was like they were seeing a long lost sister again.
Again I had to choke out. "Can't breathe."
They immediately loosed their grip.
And looked at them. "Hi guys, It's nice to see you again." I paused and turned to the other 3. "Care to introduce me?" I spoke British English with slight Scottish nuances.
The boys stopped hugging me and pushed me towards the other 3 boys.
Jacob pointed. That is my nephew William or Billy. He is Paul and Rebecca's. He waved at me. This is Quil and Claire's son Robert or Rob. He waved and said: " Great to finally meet the legend." And last but not least Sue and Charlie Swans son and your and Seth's half-brother Taylor.
I looked at him wide eyed and surprised. "Hey Bells. Nice to finally meet my legendary Little-Sis."
