Chapter 54: Hope you enjoy! This story is coming to an end soon so I hope you enjoy the last remaining chapters. I`m trying my hardest on making them good enough for you all but whenever I manage to sit down and write I`m absolutely knackered.

Anyways. Happy reading and remember to tell me what you think in the form of a review or PM.

"I can`t believe you! Seriously!"

"I said I was sorry Kim! Gosh!" I folded my arms and turned away from Kim`s angry glare.

"Well you didn`t tell him anything important which is good. Fucking Jacob!" She tutted angrily and shifted Noah to over her shoulder.

"Fucking Jared too Kim." I retorted.

"Yeah well he`s getting an earful when he`s coming home I can tell you. The fucking nerve of those guys."

"Tell me about it."

"Shit!" Noah started crying again. "Come on baby...don`t cry." She rocked him gently until he calmed down a little. "I`m going to put him down for his nap okay."

"Sure."

"I think I found out something important anyways." She looked excited and winked at me.

"Really?"

"Yeah...just let me put Noah down first."

Did she really find out something good? Something we could use? Bless Kim and her giant brain.

I had gone over to hers after my little mini meltdown at Emily`s place. I had to tell her that I had almost spilled the beans on our secret. Kim had been shocked at the state I arrived in. But her shock swiftly turned into anger when I told her what I had told Jacob. Like me, she was confused at Mr. McBride`s sudden reappearance and his warnings. I knew she would want to know word for word what he had said so she could go over everything with a fine tooth comb.

We had to figure this out soon. But the frustration of not knowing everything was driving me mad. All I knew was that we were supposed to be preventing the birth of Utlapa`s spirit wife. That was all great and good if we knew who her parents were. But if we know then what? We ask them kindly not to have any female children? Bullshit!

And as hard as it was to admit I knew that Bella`s involvement was all speculation. She was with a vampire. If she was with him for life then she wasn`t going to breed any time soon. But Mr. McBride didn`t exactly steer us away from her. Was it just that I hated her so much that I wanted her to be somehow involved? Because I wasn`t afraid of her? I knew she was somehow...

"Finally! I think he has colic or something." Kim said as she came back into the kitchen.

"Poor bean." I took in Kim`s appearance. She looked so tired. And a little thin. "Do you want something to eat?"

"Nah...I`m not hungry." She shook her head a bit too much and brought over her laptop to the kitchen table. She then reached behind the fridge and took out a giant notebook. She sat down and gave it to me. A smile spread across my face as I saw what was inside. It was full of perfectly written notes on everything we knew on what was going on. She also kept a record of her dreams. As soon as I saw 'Jared hurt horribly' I closed it. I shouldn`t be looking at that.

"This is amazing Kim." I praised her. I would have never have thought to do something like that. Goes to show how bad I was for this type of mission.

"Thanks. I want you to keep a record of your dreams too. I think...no! I know they`re important. Listen. In my dreams there is always something exactly the same. Always! Something that takes me away from the danger so to speak." She looked bright eyed.

"What?" I questioned quickly.

"An animal! Whenever I hear or see this animal it takes me somewhere important, it tells me when there`s danger!"

"What is it?" I asked. An animal...the raccoon in mine! I wonder if hers is the same.

"An Owl." She said.

"I dream of a raccoon. Do you believe in spirit guides?" I felt a little foolish asking but...

"I do. Now I do. It makes sense. They are our spirit guides." She opened her laptop. "Raccoon you said right?"

"Yeah. The raccoon. Hold on..." She typed away and after a while nodded in head as in agreement. "You are such a raccoon."

"Hey!"

"It`s a compliment. Resourceful, clever, adaptable...disguise, transformation because of the mask. You do that. You have your masks that you wear for when things are tough for you. Mysterious. That`s what Jacob called you. Courageous. Em yeah! You have raccoon medicine for sure!" She finished happily. We shared a little laugh. So I was a little masked thief. Go figure. At least they were cute though.

"So you think they keep us from danger?"

"I think so. They are guiding us too. To something. I don`t know what though. Whenever I get close I get too scared."

I thought back to my dreams. The raccoon was leading me somewhere, somewhere scary. Utlapa always tried to stop me, tried (well succeeded) on making me turn back, on making me wake up.

"The same for me. He scares me too much Kim."

"What does he tell you?" She asked. I took a deep breath.

"That Jacob will leave me." I ran a nervous hand through my hair.

"He tells me Jared will...die." She said in a small voice. Oh God! That`s much worse than mine.

"Kim..." She shook her head and took a deep breath.

"I`m not letting that happen! No way! We have to get our thumbs out of our asses and dig deeper Sonia. We can stop him! I know we can!"

"Mr. McBride said you can`t stop fate." I whispered. Kim looked at me evenly, a little nervous but determined.

"I think he was talking about you Sonia. This is more about you than me."

"But you`re in this too! You`re having the dreams as well!"

"I...I think Jacob has a vital role to play in this...more than we realize. More than he realizes." She whispered.

"What do you mean?" Fear was gripping me again. Kim fidgeted nervously in her seat.

"I came across these stories...from when our tribe was almost wiped out by Suquamish, when we lost so many numbers from our tribe. It said that one of our braves was led astray by..." She took her notebook and flipped to what she was looking for. "here.. 'a woman of snow white beauty and great strength. Who promised him herself in exchange for his wife`s blood.' What do you think?"

"You think Jacob will sacrifice me to a cold one?" I asked angrily.

"She wasn`t a cold one. And the brave didn`t sacrifice her. He couldn`t."

"Who told you this?"

"Old Quil." She replied. "I was trying to probe him for information you know."

"And how does this relate to me and Jacob?"

"The woman wasn`t a cold one. She was born to a human mother and a vampire father."

"That`s not possible! They are dead! How could the vamp have even got it up? You need blood flow for an erection don`t you?"

"That`s what he said! I`m just relaying information."

"Fine. Did he say anything else?"

"He said that the brave was so taken with the woman that he left his village with her, left his family. He saw many things and was happy until after a while he began to feel homesick. He began to miss his wife. The woman noticed this and convinced the Suquamish to target the Quileutes and wipe them out. Therefore eliminating the competition, so to speak."

"But they didn`t succeed." I pointed out.

"They didn`t. Because the brave came to his senses and came back to the tribe, but not in time to save his wife and children."

"So what has this got to do with me and Jacob?"

"You know a spirit needs a body to do lots of things. I think Utlapa wants that. He needs it. Maybe he`s planning to jump into one of the guys. Jacob for example. He`s the strongest one. Why not choose the best one you know. Plus...what he said in the dream...what Mr. McBride said." What Kim was saying made a lot of sense. I found it so hard to sallow though. I didn`t want to believe it.

"Then...okay. Either I prepare myself for the worst or never let the worst happen in the first place. No way am I losing Jacob to some demon spawn! No way in hell!"

"That`s the spirit!" Kim exclaimed happily.

"So...we find Bella and Edweird and tell them to keep it in their pants until she`s changed. Perfect!" I stood up and paced the kitchen, thinking. "I don`t think he`s that stupid to have sex with her while she`s still human you know. This depends a lot on him. How long he can resist."

"If it is them Sonia. Remember we don`t know for sure." Kim pointed out.

"But they`re our best bet! How many other human/vampire couples do we know out there? That have a tie to La Push? It`s them! I know it!" I wanted to punch something.

"Calm down okay!"

"I won`t Kim! We`re running out of time! I can feel it. Don`t tell me you can`t feel it. It`s all going to come to a head soon." I whispered. We stared at each other a long time before Kim slowly nodded her head.

"I can feel it. It`s making me sick. I can`t sleep...I can`t eat...and Jared.." She made a pained face and tugged at her braid. "...I catch him looking at me sometimes...like he can`t believe his eyes or something, but not in the way he usually used to look at me. It`s more like a 'is that really what I`m tied to' look. It kills me." She started to sob.

"Kim! You`re just being paranoid! Jared fucking loves you!"

"You haven`t seen it! I`ve never been good enough for him!"

"Oh my God! You are just being crazy now! Jared has never been good enough for you. Come on. You asked me before if I remembered him from high school. Well the Jared I remembered was a dick! An arrogant asshole who thought that he was too good for everybody and everything. I remember girls that Jared had slept with and discarded like shitty tissue crying in the toilets. I remember him not giving a damn about anyone but himself. And you think you are not good enough for him? Still? You think that? You have always been good. Always been sweet. You might have thought that nobody, boys especially, didn`t notice you but believe me they did. You just had your sights set on the man you knew you would spend your life with. Despite the fact that he was a jerk." Kim giggled after my little tirade.

"I guess I was being a little dramatic." She wiped away some tears and smiled.

"A lot more like. Come on. We`ve got work to do."

"Hi, can I help you?" The blonde sales guy asked me. I scanned the store for the person I was looking for. Once I spotted her I smiled at...Mike according to his name tag.

"No thanks...just browsing you know." I winked at him with made him blush pink.

"Sure...so you need any help just let me know."

"You`ll be the first person I`ll come to." I promised him as I watched Bella round a corner and go out of sight. Shaking off that Mike guy I followed Bella down an aisle of hiking boots. I picked up a pair and came up behind her.

"Excuse me? Can I get these in a size 8 please?" I asked sweetly.

She spun around, dropping her pricing gun. Looking at me wide eyed she cringed away from me and backed into the shelves.

"Calm down Bella. Do you really think I`m going to hurt you?" I rolled my eyes at her.

"What do you expect me to think?" She whispered.

"I don`t care what you think Bells. So tell me...Where were you December 14th of last year?"

"What?" She picked up the pricing gun and began her work afresh. I noticed her hands were shaking a little.

"December 14th. Where were you?" I stepped in closer to her. "Where you in La Push at all?"

"That`s none of your business." She tossed her hair into my face.

"Sure it is Bella. Because if you`re up to what I think you are then you have a very big problem."

"And what do you think I`m up to?" She surprised me by smiling at me. A horrible smile. One that made her look slightly demented.

"Where were you?" I growled at her lowly.

"Like I`m going to tell you." Her smile grew bigger. It took all of my self control not to punch her again. "You picked the wrong person to mess with Sonia. I always get what I want."

She stuck her left hand in my face and showed me a giant sparkling rock on her ring finger.

"Pretty." I commented, smacking her hand away. "Don`t play games with me."

"This is not a game. It`s my destiny. I`m marrying Edward. I`m going to be a vampire. You won`t be able to hurt me then, would you?"

"Are you for real? Seriously? I know it was you Bella! I know you were the one who set Utlapa free!"

"Utlapa? Who would that be now?" She feigned innocence. "You are so stupid Sonia. Go back to that dump of a reservation where you belong. And while you`re there can you tell Jake that I miss him. I know he misses me."

I turned on my heel to leave.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" An older woman asked me.

"No. The sales girl was quite rude and unhelpful actually." I exited and stepped out into the drizzling rain.

Well...that was interesting. Bella basically confirmed it was her that set Utlapa free. She was also taunting me. Like some little girl who was in on some big secret and was told to keep it from the others but couldn`t help but gloat about the fact that she knew.

And her and Eddie were getting married. Not that surprising. It scared me though. Would they celebrate their wedding night like a normal couple? Would she be changed immediately? If she was then there would be no chance of her getting pregnant.

Was Edward in it too? Did he know what was going on? Dare I risk going to him to try and reason with him? I got into my car and sat for a while thinking. The more time I spend here the more I risk giving a lot of things away if Edward was around to read my thoughts. Fuck it! I`m going back to La Push. I need to see Jacob and talk to him. I also need to tell Kim what had just happened and plan what we were to do next.

Jacob`s POV

It was the most difficult thing in the world not to feel a bit of angst when I didn`t know where Sonia was but I had to trust her. She had disappeared after I dropped her off at Emily`s and I feel racked with guilt because of that. We were supposed to get married today. What started out as maybe the happiest day of my life ever swiftly turned into a disaster.

McBride showed up again. Frightening Sonia into silent mode. I was so close and everything. She was going to tell me. Christ! That old geezer had perfect timing didn`t he?

Fingering my mom`s engagement ring I thought of Sonia some more. Focusing on her smile. Focusing on her being happy. I`ll give her the ring tonight and take her up to James Island tomorrow. I knew she was big into the whole traditional way of doing things and if it made her happy then who was I to argue even if it did seem a little silly. She wanted me. She loves me! And I`m going to keep her. My crazy girl.

Feeling the pull I knew she was coming over. Thank the heavens that dad was away at some tribal meeting. I knew I was going to claim her once she got here. I was going to make her mine again. Join our bodies together in love and passion.

But now it seems that it isn`t enough. Something inside me wanted more. I wanted all of her and she was still holding back. Despite doing everything I could think of to win her trust back. Did I even have her full trust in the first place? Dad tells me to give it time. That everything will fall into place. That I needed to be patient and not push her.

Hearing her car a couple of minutes away I went and stood outside and waited for her. Sexual desire was heightening inside of me with every passing moment, making me want to burst out of my skin. She was mine. I was hers. It was that simple.

Sorry for the ending, I was planning on making it longer but I`m super tried. Next chapter will be continued in Jacob`s POV. Gotta love him don`t you? Anyways. Night night and remember to review. Besos.
