A/N: hey. The world's ending, literally and figurativly burning, but I've found inspiration to write more of this again. Honestly, it's been a while so I'm just tryna get back into my twilight mindset. Grateful that this story had a faithful fan base.

He'd been having night terrors for so long that when Quil rambled on about Claire dressing up for Halloween he genuinely thought the holiday was a poor mockery of his inability to sleep.

Nightmare.

noun

a frightening or unpleasant dream.

a terrifying or very unpleasant experience or prospect.

a person, thing, or situation that is very difficult to deal with.

That last definiton pretty much summed up everything.

Leaving after having his heart ripped out while his body lay crippled beneath him, surviving as a Alpha for a year, coming home and trying to... to live; only to find out that She off and got married-ontop of these fuckin' horro fests every night——

Yeah. His 'situations' were very fuckin' hard to deal with.

Jacob tossed his phone somewhere behind him and slide over to the edge of his bed. He rubbed his hands over his face multiple times, as if the unnatural warmth of his skin would erase the evidence of fatigue.

Something had to give.

Every night was like a twisted romantic obsession of the girl he had quitely loved since diapers. Except him inherting his latent genetic heritage had changed him. Being a shapeshifter brought out charateristics that he wasn't so sure he was born with before. He wasn't aware of his rebirths flaws then, back then but he was different now.

Is?

Is.

Sighing he got up and stretched only to pause. A feeling. Intution humans call it. Stopped him. His ears twitched and his nose quivered. The air squeezed him before a snapping sound iritated his ears.

His eyes narrowed. Someone was on his turf. Uninvited but not yet threatening.

He put two fingers in his mouth and blew out a signal for his Betas.

Months after Edwards Leave

"Right. So you want me to exercise while I'm pregnant." Isabella skeptically said while tying her hair into two buns.

Didymium ignored her human while continuing to set up around the room. Finally satisfied, she turned and gestured for Isabella to come.

When she was in front of her, Didymium put her arms around her human's torso, resting her fingers on the more pronounced pregnancy.

"Listen well, Isabella. I will remake you in my image. I will break you," she paused and tugged with her teeth on the young woman's ear causing a shiver.

"I will reform you to my liking until I am content with your progress. You are mine. If your progression pleases me," she paused and cradled her stomach feeling the defiant kicks against her hands, "I will allow your baby to live. And be yours."

Isabelle felt a longer flicker of anger. So long in fact that by the time she recovered she barely understood what was happening.

Didymium smiled wickedly at her humans stiff form and brief slip of expression before her abrupt pitiful display of violence. "You—!"

Catching her hands and holding them hostage above her head, Didymium tutted.

"Hasty now aren't we? Anger will be your undoing unless you have meticulous control."

She slapped her stomach in retribution leaving a red welt.

"You left your precious offspring unguarded. Now you both are dead. Control yourself. You are angry, yes?"

She twirled them, expertly leading her human to the various work out equipment.

"Focus. Allow your anger to fuel your desire to please me. To keep your child. I have no qualms killing an unborn in order to rebirth the soldier I need."

Isabella blinked at her Red Eyes owlishly.

Confused.

What had happened while she was burning in ...in…Anger?

Anger.

Didymium frowned and stared at her confused Human while pondering. She led her through a series of weight lifts before helping her through her first couple of sit ups.

As Isabella cooled off with a bottle of water and a light jog around the premises, Didymium has reached a new revelation with her human.

As Isabelle passed her Red Eyes by on her second jog past, Didymium waved her over for a moment of rest.

She showed her a few yoga stretches before calmly watching her Human attempt them herself.

"Intriguing," she finally murmured at last.
