Chapter 36: Hope you guys enjoy! Thank you all again and again and a million times over for all your lovely and honest reviews. You really inspire me to keep on writing. Amazing is what you all are!

Anyways! Happy reading and I hope you like this chapter. A lot of questions are answered.

"He`s kinda scary." Brady commented, as I drove us to my house from Mr. McBride`s. True to his word, Jacob did send Brady, about five minutes after he himself had left.

"Tell me about it. At least you don`t have to work for him."

"That`s true. But Sam can be scary as hell sometimes, Jacob too." Brady said, fiddling with the car radio.

"How is Jacob scary?" I asked innocently. I was curious. Maybe I could probe Brady for information.

"When Jacob is angry...it`s just...wow. We can all feel it. It`s like it becomes our anger too."

"What does he get angry about?" I pressed, offering him some chocolate covered peanuts. Brady grabbed the bag with a "Ah yessss" and proceeded to devour them.

"Lots of things. You sometimes...when you kissed that Robbie douche. When you met Edward...nah...mostly he`s sad because of you. Bella is the one that makes him angry...God she is such a bitch!" My brain was chanting INFO INFO DIRT DIRT!

"Why do you think she`s a bitch?"

"Cause she`s so clingy. Eurghhh are all girls like that?"

"No...don`t worry." I reassured him.

"The others think she`s leading him on. Jake even thinks so too a little. But she has put some sort of spell on him."

"If Jacob thinks she is leading him on then why is he going out with her?" I asked gently. I drove slower so I could squeeze more info from him.

"Cause he feels sorry for her. He wants her to live. I think he loves her a little too. Not as much as he loves you though." He offered me back the bag of peanuts but I shook my head.

"How do you know that?" Tell me more! I took a wrong turn on purpose and drove even slower than before.

"He thinks about you different than to her. Cause your his imprint and all but still... I just think he loves you more. He loves everything about you."

"Like what...in particular."

"Your eyes and how they are so dark and all that type of bullshit. He misses how tight your pussy feels too." I almost swerved off the road when he said that.

"Jesus Brady! Gross!" I swore at him, red faced. He just laughed.

"No biggie. You should hear Jared thinking about Kim...or Paul and Rachel!"

"I don`t want to hear that!"

"Sorry. Shared mind you know."

"Did...did Jacob...you know...do it...with Bella?" I stuttered out.

"Nope... that`s the weird bit too!" He suddenly sounded like a gossipy old woman. "Jacob doesn`t want to."

"He doesn`t want to?" Huh?

"No. Don`t blame him either. I mean she`s pretty and all but..."

"Brady!"

"You see, since he and Bella started going out, she doesn`t want to do normal boyfriend-girlfriend type things, like go to the movies or whatever. She just wants to have sex."

"Are you serious?" That was too strange. My mind started to work fast.

"Yeah! On Friday she surprised Jacob by waiting in his room for him naked." Brady burst out laughing.

"Oh my God!" What a slut. She totally stole my move.

"Yeah...she lit candles and everything. You are totally hotter naked than she is just to let you know."

"Thanks." I was thankful in a way. "Then what happened?"

"He couldn`t. He didn`t want to."

"Why not?"

"Because it wasn`t you. He was like 'fuck this is too nuts.' and told her to get dressed. He was like shit! What have I gotten myself into?"

"What do you mean Brady?" I took another wrong turn and drove towards the beach.

"He knew what a mess he had gotten himself into. He didn`t see it coming. It made him realize how much he wants you, how much he loves you. Seeing Bella naked made him see that he didn`t have any sexual feeling for her. Not anymore."

"Shit."

"Yeah. Now he really wants to break up with her but is afraid she`ll fly off the handle again or worse go back to Edward and become a vamp."

"He`s such an idiot!" I snarled. I fucking knew what her game was now! Eurgghhh!

"He`s not that bad. He keeps a picture of you in his wallet." Brady defended.

Brady left to run patrol when I got home and told me he`d tell Jacob I said hi. I totally knew what Bella and Edward`s game was now. It totally added up! Bella didn`t just magically come to her senses and realize Jacob was the one for her! She was practically suicidal when Edward left her the last time from what I heard. She wouldn`t just give him up! He was her ticket for becoming a vampire! Edward must have convinced her to pretend to have broken up with him to get Jacob to be her boyfriend. But for what reason?

I paced around the kitchen thinking. Why on earth would Edward want Bella with Jacob? Was it because Red was after her? Did he think she would be safer in La Push, constantly protected by the pack? If that was the only reason then why was Bella so desperate to have sex with Jacob? Jacob was totally hot and totally fuckable. But Bella didn`t seem like the type of girl to be so aggressive sexually. Think Sonia think.

I racked my brain. Did Edward give me any clue to what his plan was when I met him for coffee? I knew he chose that day and time because Jacob planned on getting me back that was for certain. What could Jacob possibly give Bella that he couldn`t?

Then it dawned on me. Physical intimacy...emotional warmth. Sex in other words. Edward didn`t want or was afraid to have sex with Bella. Oh my God it all made sense now.

They weren`t really broken up. They were still continuing their creepy relationship. Jacob was the only other man Bella was close to besides Edward. She is attracted to him. Emotionally attached to him. He is the perfect candidate! Use Jacob for the human sex experience until she gets changed! Fucking bitch! They planned it perfectly. I wonder how long Jacob could hold out before he caved in to Bella`s demands. Jacob wouldn`t do something he didn`t want to...I knew that. Brady said he didn`t want to.

Shit why was he so stupid to get himself drawn into it? Why did he always have to play the hero? How on earth was I going to broach the subject to him? Dammit! They picked the perfect time and all! With these vamps running round no way would Jacob leave her unprotected. He had too much heart to leave her high and dry when he discovers what`s happening.

What should I do? Tell him? Would he believe me over her? He had to! He needed to know. Feeling sorry for someone is no reason to be in a relationship with them. Shit! What do I do? Let him figure it out on his own? Let him get burnt? No...I loved him too much to want to see him get hurt. If he suspected that someone was doing that to me he would tell me...and hurt them.

Grabbing my cell from my coat pocket I dialed Jacob`s number. Please be in human form! Please please please! It dialed out. Shit! He was probably running patrol. All those vamps out there...if he ever got hurt I don`t know what I would do! If he got hurt because of Bella...I would fucking kill her!

I thought about confronting Edward but I if I left the rez I would be heaping more trouble upon myself. Confront Bella? Good idea, though she would deny it. She wasn`t just using Jacob though...she was using all of us. All the pack. This place...our land as her own personal safe haven. She was bringing leeches here that could kill any of us for something that never should of been our problem in the first place. Who should I call? I dialed again.

"Emily!" I said as level as I could.

"Sonia! Hey there! You okay? You know the news right?" I could hear her banging something and could easily imagine her baking something.

"Yes I know. More vamps on the loose."

"Yes that...but there`s more now. We found out about an hour ago." She sounded a bit nervous.

"What more?" Shit! I knew in my gut that it wasn`t something good.

"Well there`s..." I heard a lot of male voices in the background and a door being banged. "Sonia, Jacob and Paul are back from patrol. Do you want Jacob to tell you?"

"Put him on...please." Thank God he was okay.

"Hey...you`re home safe then. Brady is free from an ass kicking today it seems." He tried to sound light hearted but something was bothering him.

"He got me home safe and sound. What`s going on Jacob?"

"I don`t want to tell you over the phone." He mumbled. "Can I come over to yours?"

"Yes! Whenever you want. Just... I dunno...I have something to tell you too." I nervously said back.

"Be there in two minutes `kay."

"`kay. See you."

What was going on? More vamps for sure but...if Jacob sounded that agitated then something more must be going down. I took my coat off and hung it over one of the kitchen chairs. How would he take the news? How would I take his news?

"Sonia?" Jacob voice came from the back door. I scanned his body for any sign of hurt and sighed in relief when he looked just as perfect as ever.

"Come on in." I had so much nervous energy now that I couldn`t keep still.

"So the news..." He looked so grim. It must be bad.

"What`s going on?"

"Old Red has an army. All those murders in Seattle...it was her. She`s coming here with the newborns." He stepped in closer to me but didn`t touch me.

"Newborns?" I asked dumbly.

"A new vampire. They are the strongest and most bloodthirsty."

"And she has an army of them?" I confirmed. Jacob nodded his head. "Holy shit...she`s coming here." I muttered.

"They won`t get near you. I swear it."

"It`s not me I`m worrying about!" I wailed. "You...you and the rest of the pack...you`ll be fighting them. Oh no..no no no." I shook my head and fixed Jacob with a terrified stare.

"I`m not gonna lie to you! It will be dangerous. We could get hurt. But we are made to fight them! We are made to kill them!" He took me in his arms now, taking more comfort from me than I was getting from him.

"Jacob...promise me you`ll come back...promise me you won`t do something stupid!"

"I promise you. When did I do anything stupid?" He tried to make light of the situation but it just made me angry.

"Don`t do that! Please...I know this is what you are born to do but...don`t pretend you`re not scared...not for me." I begged. Jacob suddenly looked so sad.

"It`s times like these that I really need you Sonia." He looked like he actually might cry. "It`s now that I need your strength. I wish I had your courage."

"You have all the courage and strength you need. In your heart." Gosh I sound so lame but I really meant it.

"Lately it seems to have deserted me." He looked at me in pain.

"I believe in you Jacob. I always have and I always will."

"After the way I treated you? Still?" He whispered.

"Always. You know it`s there. Don`t be afraid."

"If you believe in me then...I won`t fail."

"You could never. You are a Quileute warrior. What leech could compare to you?"

"You really do know how to make me feel better you know." A hint of a smile played around his mouth.

"I`m glad."

"Are you really?"

"Yes."

"You`ll be safe here! I promise you. Both you and your mom...but I was thinking."

"What?"

"The fight is in three days.."

"THREE DAYS!" I yelled.

"Three days. You and your mom could get out of here...go on holiday or something...just to be safe."

"JACOB! Why the hell should I go away when me and my mom will be perfectly safe here in La Push?"

"Just in case."

"I trust you to protect me." I said angrily, crossing my arms. He grinned boyishly now.

"Good to know...so...what did you want to tell me?"

"What?"

"You said you needed to tell me something on the phone. Sounded important."

"Oh...I...eh..." I couldn`t tell him! Not now! Not with this fight coming up. He was fighting to protect Bella and La Push. If he learned that Bella and Edward were up to before then his concentration would be shot! He could get hurt or worse...he could get killed! He did love Bella...if his heart got broken now...

"Nothing important really, just wanted to see if you would like my duvet cover to go with my pillowcase." Quick thinking Sonia. Throw him off the scent. I giggled when he blushed horribly.

"I...uh...must have taken it by accident."

"Sure...well...if you change your mind."

"I was meaning to give it back." He said in a hurry.

"Okay. So..."

"We are having a bonfire tomorrow. Dad is going to tell the legends. I don`t know if you have heard them in a while."

"Not since...nana died."

"You`re coming right? It`s like a ritual to prepare us."

"Course I`m coming! Do I get to carry your shield and paint your face?" I half joked. If these were the old days the wife of the warrior was in charge of taking care of his shield. Since I was his spirit wife...

"If I had a shield you would be carrying it." He affirmed seriously.

"Is...Bella coming too?"

"Yes. It would be good for her to hear the legends. Why we are who we are." The tribes legends were sacred. I felt that Bella would dirty them if she heard them but...it wasn`t my place to say so.

"If you say so...I`ll have to ask my mom. I think I`m still grounded."

"I`ll get dad to call her. Listen...I need to go. Sam is doing his nut trying to get us all together."

"You better go then."

"I`ll see you tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow. Stay safe."

"I will."

Before he left it looked as though he wanted to reach out to me but thought the better of it. Jacob was strong. He was brave. I believed he could hold his own against any leech but I couldn`t shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen to him. The feeling of dread was ripe as I watched his broad figure break into a jog and disappear into the trees at the back of my garden.
