Edward's POV:
After a confusing and unsettling night of pondering about what had occurred between Bella and me just a few hours ago and the end of our relationship I was on my way back home, intending to enter through the window of my room to avoid my family and have a little more privacy. But my plans were altered the second my sensitive ears detected Anna's heart beat and my body moved on it's own accord as if being pulled in by a magnet.
"You are not skipping school?" Anna asked me when I entered the kitchen through the back entrance.
I shook my head while I watched her standing in front of the sink already dressed and styled for school. Something in me stirred …. Longing stabbed my chest and my arms began to lift before falling back to my sides.
Confusion clouded my mind because I didn't knowing what exactly it was I was so desperately yearning for. I was unable to label the conflicted emotions that were coursing through me.
Anna watched me through narrowed eyes before she shrugged taking a sip from the cup of tea she was holding in her hand.
"Are we ….. OK?" I blurted out tenderly and fearful as Rosalie's words came back to me.
Anna is a real woman who knows who she is and deserves better than that….. You better man up …
I hated how I felt. It was frustrating beyond believe being so insecure, unsure, lost and feeling all wrong, not knowing how to change this dreadful condition …. how to make those feelings disappear.
Putting her cup on the counter Anna cranked her neck to look at me through narrowed eyes before she sighed and looked out of the window that was located over the sink.
"I hate and resent her … but rationally I understand that this is not easy for you." She glanced briefly at me before looking back out of the window.
"She is a horrible person …. but feelings are irrational…" she trailed off and turned to look at me.
"I'm no good at emotional drama, especially not right now," Anna said, took her cup and was about to leave.
The announcement was clear: if I wanted to grief over the end of my relationship with Bella I was free to do so but Anna didn't want to have any part in it nor see me doing so.
That was more understanding that I could have hoped for. Anna could have easily washed her hands clean of my pathetic behind. It was Bella who destroyed Anna's life and to my great appal was not even really sorry for doing so.
Looking back I couldn't help but to wonder if I have ever judged Bella's character right. For her own sake I hoped that the behaviour she showed in the last few weeks had been just adolescent ignorance or that her judgement was clouded by her desire to get the "fairytale" life she had read about in a book and that she would see one day how wrong she had been.
As understanding as I wanted to be with her there was also a part of me that was greatly disappointed with Bella because she did not stand up to what she had done. I was angry at her because of what she had done to Anna.
I was angry at Bella because she knew about all the whispering and gossiping behind Anna's back and she did nothing. Instead of at least trying to get Lauren and Jessica to shut up she just sat at their table letting it all happen.
Bella walked around school grimacing as if she were in pain, making Anna look worse while Anna had to pull herself together and endure everything that was thrown at her.
Bella's priority had been to fix our relationship instead of trying to help Anna in her knew life or at least not to make it anymore difficult than it already was for her.
It had been Anna who had appeased Charlie.
It had been Anna who came up with a cover story regarding my departure and Bella's behaviour.
Bella didn't even defend Anna in front of Renee who had been calling a few times only to tell Anna what a horrible sister she was to Bella.
I was pulled out of my musing when I suddenly felt two little arms sneak around my neck and I was pulled into a warm, soft body. It took me a split of a second to realise that it was Anna who was hugging me but before my mind was able to catch that fact my arms were already slung tightly around her back, pressing her closer into me.
A shaky breath escaped my mouth as my frame was slightly trembling against hers while those conflicted, wild emotions that had been uncontrollably coursing through me began to settle down and the tension in my shoulders melted away.
I had no idea how much I had needed this until I felt her flush against me and I could burry my face in her neck inhaling her intoxicating scent that lulled my mind in pleasure and peace but did not affect the monster in me at all.
Her chest was pressed tightly to mine and I felt the quiet melody of her heart drum against my skin, beating a tattoo into my silent heart.
Her hand waved into my hair and she dragged her nails over my scalp coaxing a purr out of my chest and I relaxed further into her, greedily soaking the warmth, peace and comfort in that she offered me.
While I was wrapped up in her arms my mind was free of any thoughts and troubles, the world around me disappeared into nothing and all there was left was Anna right there with me patting my head and brushing her other hand over my shoulder in a reassuring manner.
A warm tantalizing feeling filled every cell of my body as I felt my world fall out of madness and neatly into place, letting me crave for the more I could feel when she was in my embrace, when I saw her, when I thought of her …..
Too soon Anna unwound her arms from around my neck as she started to pull away from me and reluctantly (as much as I didn't want to and my body, heart and mind protested) I slowly let go of her.
"Thank you," a quiet, hoarse, chocked whisper that was filled with a myriad of emotions escaped me while my hands prickled with the desire to reach out and pull her back into me.
With inhuman strength I resisted this burning urge and pushed my greedy hands into my pants pockets offering her a lopsided smile to express my gratitude for her gesture.
She didn't say a word but only looked intensely into my eyes as she took a step back and nodded her head while her lips twitched slightly before she turned, took her cup and made to leave the kitchen.
Swallowing hard I was gazing after Anna as she went down the hallway and I found myself in utter awe of the amazing person who despite all the pain, hurt, grief and anger shone brightly every day.
She who had been wronged so much had endured her pain in silence, biting her tongue never telling the truth for the protection of others ….. for the protection of my family.
I had no idea how I would ever be able to make it up to her, to be worthy of the amazing woman that she was but I would try even if it took me an eternity.
Rosalie had been right I was more than lucky that Anna was not ready for a relationship yet but I knew that I had to work a great deal on myself or else my chances with Anna were none existent.
….I need a man who knows how to treat me right not a cowardly, arbitrary wimp. Her words from the other time line came back to me.
As Anna disappeared out of my sight I vowed to myself to become the man she deserved, someone who she could be proud of.
Jacob's POV:
"Jake, the fact that she popped your cherry does not make her your imprint," Jared exclaimed incredulously.
"If she really was the one then you would have imprinted on her weeks ago. To be more specific the first time you saw her after you joined our ranks." Embry added.
"And that from someone who does not even have an imprint. You don't even know how that fells to find the one." I glared at him.
"And the only reason I could not imprint on her before because that damn blood sucker was in the way….."
"Jake…." Jared looked helplessly at me barking a laugh as if my feelings amused him.
I had to take deep, claming breaths and concentrate hard on staying in control so I would not, literary, burst out of my skin to rip him apart.
"You have no ideas how I feel about Bells." I growled at him while my body trembled with the barely controlled rage I felt.
They had no idea what I felt when Bells and I had been together for the first time, the intensity of my feelings for her. That was the kind of love Sam felt for Emily. Bells was my world.
There was no way I would be able to love anyone more than I loved Bells. She was my imprint and why my so called brothers did not want to acknowledge this fact was beyond me and angered me deeply.
"Actually we do …. unfortunately," Quil sighed before he popped a cookie into his mouth.
I was just about to open my mouth when Sam beat me to it.
"Let's just agree to disagree on this," he commanded and stared sternly at all of us.
With that the topic was done at least for now.
"Why aren't we going to Seattle and hunt down that redhead?" The question blurted out of me.
Why we waited for that leech to come here instead of going after her I could for the life of me not understand. We knew what she was up to. Sam's inaction was putting Bells at risk. I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep myself together when I thought about the fact that the entire pack and the council took his side, agreeing with his decision to follow the plan of the blood suckers to wait and do nothing.
Even my own father….
"Have you any idea how many security cameras there are in Seattle. If one of those caught us we would be screwed. And besides it would be too dangerous to try to hunt her on a territory we are not familiar with." Sam huffed annoyed.
"But…."
"Listen I don't like it either that innocent people are dying over there but our main priority are the people here in La Push and I will not allow a suicide mission because this is what it would be."
"Those damn blood suckers do nothing but sit around uselessly." I muttered angrily under my breath.
"Man, Jake, what's wrong with you?" Quil asked before he stuffed one of Emily's fresh muffins into his mouth.
"What's wrong with me? The better question is what the hell is wrong with you all!" I jumped off the chair I had been sitting on looking into the annoyed to bored faces of Quil, Jared and Embry.
"Those damn blood suckers go off doing whatever they want to and we sit here doing nothing about it!" I exclaimed.
"What the hell do you want us to do?" Jared challenged.
"We should get Anna out of their house for example. Aren't we supposed to protect human life?" I barked at him as I heard the heavy thumps of four paws against the wet ground of the forest.
"And then …. we do what with her?" Sam asked looking cocky.
"Then she can have a normal human life. It's about time she got away from those bloodsuckers before they have the chance to brain wash her any further like they did with Bells." I spat at him but he only shook his head.
"I hate them as much if not more as you do but we can't force her to leave if she doesn't want to. And besides where would she go it's not like she would want to live with Bella under one roof." He sneered.
"So we just let them do what they want to?" I scoffed crossing my arms over my chest.
"Come on guys, let's be real, the girl is screwed one way or another. After everything she had been through I'm amazed she hasn't drunk her head off by now. If you ask me it is only a matter of time before she will start doing alcohol or drugs. She might get killed by those leeches or dies because of alcohol poisoning or an overdose that's how…" the shattering of a plate that fell to the ground stopped Jared's rant. He winced, grimaced and turned around to look at Emily who was gripping the edge of the sink with white knuckled hands.
Even though all of her memories and her friendship with Anna were not real Emily cared deeply about that girl. Sam glared at Jared and immediately went to his fiancée's side.
"Stop selling us that bull just because you have stress with that leech or ex leech lover of yours." Paul barked at me as he entered Emily's kitchen.
I growled at his shooting him a death glare.
"I've seen it in your mind when you were returning from her place. You've been there cause you wanted to hump her leg again but she sent you away. You been so pissed about it you didn't even notice me in your head," he taunted me.
"Shut up!" I pushed out through my grit teeth.
"Or what?" he challenged as my body was trembling violently.
"Not in the house. If you two want to fight them get the hell out of here," Sam growled at us.
Glaring at him before I made my way out I phased the second I stepped past the threshold and broke out into a run to work off the anger that raged inside me.
I could not for the life of me understand what had happened. Bella and I had a wonderful night together it was more than I ever could dream off. I imprinted on her then, despite what the others might think.
And then today when I went to see her she was cold and unapproachable she wouldn't even let me touch her all the while reeking off those blood suckers.
I was sure they had done something to her. Bells had been completely off. I would have loved to rip them all apart if only Sam, Seth and the others would finally pull their heads out of their asses.
Even Paul who had been bragging about how he would love to tear those leeches apart had chickened out when I proposed to attack those blood suckers. We could deal with the redhead and her so called army on our own now that the blood suckers showed us how.
I continued to push my body to go faster making my round around La Push along the border of our land and theirs, hoping to meet one of them but no such luck.
A few hours later when I had myself a little under control I went home phasing back and the only thing I wanted was to fall into my bed and to forget this shitty day.
"…..Ok…..yes…I understand," I heard dad murmured.
Stepping into the kitchen through the backdoor I saw him on the phone while his face was wrinkled in concern.
"I understand, Charlie. Call me if you need anything." He said and nodded before he hung up looking grave.
"Dad, what happened?" I asked as worry clouded my mind, scared that something might have happened to Bells.
He sighed heavily and looked with sad and tortured eyes at me.
My body went cold with terror.
Anna's POV:
"Are you sure you should be working here instead of studying? Finals are just a few days away," Deb questioned me with a raised eyebrow while she was refilling the salt and pepper shakers.
A small smile spread across my face while I wiped the counter. I had the correct answers to all the questions in the finals already memorised. That's how I passed the first time around….well second….
"About a week to be exact and don't worry. I think I'm good."
"You sure?" She narrowed her eyes at me.
"Yeah," I giggled and nodded just as Deb's seven years old son, Brian, came running inside the diner.
"Mommy, mommy," He called and zipped behind the counter where Deb was standing.
I watched them as she kissed the top of his head before she greeted her husband who came to have an early lunch with his family before he and their son would visit the grandparents like they always did on the Saturdays Deb was working.
When I watched Deb hugging her son tightly my heart clenched remembering how my mom always used to embrace me. I had to bite my lip as I fought the tears while a lump built in my throat.
I missed my mom so much. I missed my home. I missed my dad and my entire family.
I missed to joke around with my mom and to tease her mercilessly because she once again forgot where she had put her keys.
I even missed hearing how my dad answered a simple question by missing the point for miles and beating around the bush until he slowly inched closer to the answer. It used to drive me up the walls that he seemed to be incapable of answering straight without elaborating and stressing the entire topic unnecessarily.
I missed to cook for my family and have my mom tell me how much better of a cook I was than her. I never thought I would say that but I even missed her constant nagging. It was a running gag among everyone who knew her that she couldn't survive in a world where she wouldn't be able to nag over something or someone.
A tortured and sad giggle escaped me at that memory.
I had no idea how often I had asked myself this but once again I found myself wondering if my family missed me, if they knew that I had existed or had I just disappeared for good in my world without any evidence that I had existed in the first place?
The doorbell rang out ripping me out of my sad and painful thoughts and I plastered a smile on my face as a new customer entered the diner. I was thankful that I had been standing with my back facing the glass front of the diner so Rosalie who had been most likely hiding behind the trees on the other side of the road, while watching over me, was not able to see my face.
"I'll go," I told Deb before I ended cleaning the counter and took a look at my watch to check when Charlie was due.
Riley was going to collect her stuff today which is why I had invited Charlie for an early lunch before Billy would "surprisingly" turn up at the diner and take his best friend to La Push.
Still over twenty minutes away from the appointed time I made to take the new customer's order. Turning around and looking for the hungry soul I saw Charlie's defeated form sit at his usual place.
"Dad, what happened?" I asked him as I hurried to him and sat down beside him.
His eyes were deeply troubled and tired when he looked at me and then sighed heavily.
"It's Bella. She is in the hospital."
"Why?" I asked out of morbid curiously.
"The Doc said she had a nervous break down," he sighed again and buried his face in his hands.
Of course, she is the one with the nervous breakdown. My subconscious grumped before she rolled her eyes not wanting to dignify this with another comment.
Not really knowing what to do I put my hand on Charlie's shoulder to offer him some comfort.
"I'll get you some coffee and something to eat to re-charge your batteries." I told him, being concerned for his health. Worrying so much and all the stress couldn't be good for him.
"Thank you. You are a good girl," he mumbled patting my hand that was on his shoulder.
Saying nothing I only nodded and went to get his coffee and order the food in the kitchen.
"The first day of finals is in five days. I will have to go to school and ask the principal if Bella will be able to take the finals when she will be well again, if she is not up to it by then," Charlie's forehead wrinkled up in worry lines before he took a sip of his black coffee.
"What about you?"
"I'm fine and ready to go," I smiled reassuringly at him.
"Good," he nodded looking absently into his coffee before he smiled weakly up at me.
"You are such a good kid. You don't ever give me reason to worry about you." He mused and his words triggered a memory.
"Your dear brother called me today at work because no one was home and he discovered suddenly" mom emphasised the word "that his jacket was dirty and had to be washed so he stood in front of the washing machine for a while looking at it as if it were a alien starship before he decided to call and ask me how to use the washing machine." She giggled shaking her head.
"The best thing about it was anyway that he had already put the jacket inside and was about to switch the thing on when I wisely asked if he had already added the washing powder?" Mom shook her head miserably.
"The surprised "OH!" I heard then really made me wonder what I have done wrong. And in the morning he forgot to pack his lunch. It was ready on the table waiting for him and I even told him a few times to pack it." Mom sighed heavily and shook her head again while I laughed out right. The stunts my brother pulled beggared description.
"I have no idea what to do with that boy anymore. You have always been so organised and could take care of yourself but he…"
I was brought out of my memory when I heard Charlie speak again.
"Do you have any idea what caused this?" He looked so helpless and lost at me pleading for any hint.
Poor Charlie. My subconscious looked sadly at him as her bottom lip trembled.
I sighed.
"She was yesterday at the Cullens and wanted to speak to Edward and was blabbing about marriage and children and how they needed to start planning their future…Edward was dumbstruck but she wouldn't stop, so he told her that he did not want a future with her, that they are over." I shrugged.
Well it was not completely untrue.
"Wait! When were they together again?" Charlie exclaimed as he concurrently straightened in his seat and his face turned shades of red in anger.
"They weren't but she thought…honestly I have no idea what she thought." I shook my head.
"That," Charlie's face got redder and redder with anger and I could practically see the steam coming out of his ears.
"It's not Edward's fault she is obsessed with him," I quickly piped up and took the wind out of Charlie's sails.
He cursed quietly under his breath while he looked out of the window as I began to worry if the family stealing witch would keep her mouth shut now that it was clear that she was not going to become a Vampire and have the perfect fairytale life she was obsessed about.
(*.*)
"You know normally Edward allows no one to drive his precious cars and if then only in emergency cases," Emmett said as I was driving the Volvo. For some reason he liked to go grocery shopping with me.
"I read about that," I nodded while my eyes were fixed on the street ahead of me.
"Anna, you are aware of the fact that this car can go really fast?" He asked me carefully as if he was talking to a child.
"Yup, I am. Edward proved that more than one time. Why?"
"And you love speed, right?" Emmett ignored my question.
"Yes, I do love speed…."
"Then why are you driving way under the speed limit!" Emmett exclaimed.
"Because that annoys you," I giggled victoriously.
That had not been entirely the truth. I was just an overly careful driver especially in someone else's car but he didn't have to know that.
You are mean! My subconscious snickered while we glanced over at Emmett.
His mouth was agape and he looked in stunned bewilderment and fascination at me what made me laugh even more.
I giggled lightly as I let that memory play out in my mind to be able distract myself for at least a little while (before I would go nuts) from the new worries that had added themselves to the already enormous pile this noon.
Trying to figure out the workings of the family stealing witch was pretty much the last thing I wanted to do.
How many bad tidings can a person endure before it is going to be too much? My subconscious wondered tapping her forefinger against her chin.
The sound of a shutting car door made me jump in my seat as my head whipped around and I was faced with Rosalie's smug smile. My head turned back around while I exhaled and ice cold goose bumps spread all over my skin.
"Don't do that! I could have totalled Edward's car."
"A turtle can walk faster than you drive! Given the speed on which you are going I would have had more than enough time to stop the car before anything happened if I would have startled you that much by entering." She shrugged.
I rolled my eyes.
"How did it go with Riley?" I asked her knowing she had been in contact with the others the entire time while she had been near the diner making sure I did not have an encounter with a Vampire.
"Everything went as it should have. The others are currently sweeping the area to make sure that no other of Victoria's minions is around."
I nodded my head.
"Listen, I have checked the house and the immediate area. Alice says it's save so stay in the house while I go and help the others."
Before I could even reply she was already out of the driving car.
Leaning my head back against the seat while I exhaled heavily the house of the Cullen's was coming into view. When I drove past the house to the garage a dark figure with a sinister expression stepped into my path.
Immediately adrenaline shot through my veins and I stepped on the breaks, gripping the steering wheel with all my might as the car jerked a little at the sudden halt.
My heart was racing in my chest and I was panting like crazy out of fright before my eyes snapped open to whoever had been so stupid to get into the path of a driving car even though I was driving slowly.
My eyes were met with Jake's angry glare. He stood there just a feet away from me only clad in his cut offs while all the visible muscles in his body were clenched hard and flexing.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I exclaimed in shock and taken aback by his sudden appearance.
"I could have run you over." I said still sitting in the Volvo, gripping the steering wheel as he continued to look murderously at me before he moved to the driver's side of the car and ripped my door open before I could lock it.
"What the hell?" I yelled while I clutched my seatbelt with both hands.
"Bella is in the hospital!" He growled at me.
"Yeah, Charlie told me and?"
"What have they done to her?" He spit the words at me leaning into the car and closer to me.
"What's your damage? And get out of my face!" I hissed at him while I turned my body slightly in the seat so I could lift my left leg, put my foot on his chest and push him away with a forceful kick. Meanwhile my upper body stretched over the console of the car and with my right hand I grabbed after my purse.
Of course even with all of my strength I couldn't move him an inch but when I stopped pushing against him he looked confused at me before he sighed and took a step back on his own accord.
I saw Jacob's trembling body turned away from me and heard him take huge breaths as he tried to calm himself. While he did so I zipped my purse open and fished for my cell.
Call Emily! The pup is itching to tear a Cullen apart especially the one who can read minds. My subconscious cried from behind the couch. She was peeking over the back of the couch watching the situation cautiously.
Finding my mobile I immediately searched for Emily's number. When I first checked through my cell in the new time line it was there somewhere since according to this story line Emily and I were friends.
It took me a few seconds to find her number and I pressed dial button.
"What are you doing?" Jacob asked confused when he turned around and snatched my cell out of my hands.
"Jacob is at the Cullen house help!" I cried out before he threw my cell over his shoulder.
"HEY!" I exclaimed and glared at him.
"I'm not here to hurt you!" His brows furrowed and he looked disbelievingly at me.
"You've got a hell of a way to show that!" I grumped and crossed my arms over my chest.
"You live with those blood suckers and you are scared of me?" He asked me incredulously.
"At least no one of them ever looked at me as if they wanted to rip me apart or were the cause for my almost car accident. For the love of god couldn't you have just waited until I have parked before scaring the crap out of me? REALLY!" I fumed glaring at him as the furry I felt got the better of me.
"Bella was fine when I felt her…." He began completely ignoring what I had said.
"Yeah, heard about that one, too!" I scoffed interrupting him.
"What has that leech done to her that caused her to have a nervous breakdown?" He seethed and his body trembled again.
Unbuckling my seatbelt I scrambled over the console into the other front seat before I opened the door and got out, feeling a little better having the engine bonnet between him and me. He was about to step around the hood of the Volvo but I held my hand up, shaking my head.
"Tell me what he did?" He pushed past his grit teeth.
"She was here yesterday and the only thing Edward has done was to tell her that they are over once and for all. That what she had read in the Twilight books would never occur and that's all Edward did." I explained calmly while I crossed my arms over my chest as my annoyance scale shot higher and higher.
Jacob furiously shook his head.
"No, you are lying. He must have done something! Bells does not care about the leech anymore she….."
"Are you really that naive and stupid?" I narrowed my eyes at him interrupting his rant.
His glare was on me in an instant.
"Bella and I are a couple now. I demand to know what that leech did to my imprint!"
Imprint? My subconscious gawked at him, her mouth agape in shock.
Oh, wait! Didn't he also – wrongly - believe in Eclipse that he had imprinted on the family stealing witch? My subconscious mused as a scene of Kirsten Steward and Taylor Lautner on a beach flashed up in the back of my mind.
"You two are quite a couple." I scoffed.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"That she is still obsessed with Edward and that you have been merely a mistake for her. And that you are obviously as blind to reality as she is or don't you want to see that she still wants Edward and would dump you the second he hinted at taking her back? " It blurted out of me before I could stop the words from leaving my mouth.
UPS! You shouldn't have done that! My subconscious gulped as fear washed over her at the sight of Jacob's blurry from.
Quickly I took a few more steps back increasing the distance between us but luckily he managed to calm down.
"You know nothing about Bella and me!" He yelled at me, flexing his muscles and barring his teeth.
Oh brother is he thick! My subconscious scoffed and I shook my head in defeat.
"Whatever! Get off the Cullen property and leave me alone! I have told you what had happened yesterday but it's on you to believe the truth or to stay in your little fantasy world just like she does!" I glared at him as my patience was running out.
"Don't you see those leeches have you completely brain washed?" He pushed past his teeth changing the topic.
I could barely suppress and urge to slap my palm against my forehead.
"You are the one who is delusional!"
"Can't you see what that blood sucker has done to Bella? He is responsible for her being in the hospital."
Fury and blind rage coursed through my veins as I heard how Jacob's was making her out to be the poor little victim. I was so pissed I didn't even have words to express my rage.
Fighting for composure I wildly gestured with my hands for him to leave while I was desperately trying to articulate something despite the utter fury that had me in it's clutches.
"Leave! Just leave!" I pushed out between my clenched teeth as my anger was eating away at me.
A furious growl in front of me alerted me to the fact that Rosalie had appeared out of thin air and was crouch down in front of me, ready to attack.
"What the fuck are you doing here mutt?" She screeched.
"What have you blood sucker done to my Bells?" Jacob growled not impressed by the sinister expression on her face at all.
"We did not do anything to that bitch. Now get off my land before I will rip your throat out, mongrel!" She growled readying herself for a fight.
"Would love to see you try blondy!" He sneered at her as his body shook more violently with each passing second.
Oh huh! My subconscious looked panicked from one side to the other not liking how this was developing.
But before anything else could happen someone else joined the three of us.
"Jacob!" Sam barked as he stormed over from the tree line opposite the house clad in shorts only.
"Can't you read? The treaty says…"
"Rosalie, I called him." I interrupted her. More like Emily but who cares about details…….
Her head snapped back and she briefly glared furiously at me before turning her attention back to the Werewolves in front of us.
"What are you doing here? You know that we are not allowed to enter their land!" Sam admonished Jacob as he closed the distance between them.
"But…" Jacob tried but Sam cut him off.
"Go back to La Push!" Sam demanded darkly and with authority in his deep voice, standing tall in front of Jacob.
"No," the younger pup growled back.
"NOW!" Sam thundered and I winced at the volume of his voice.
Jacob fumed and unwillingly retreated, turned around and broke into a run, phasing before he disappeared in the trees surrounding the Cullen mansion.
"I am very sorry for this." Sam apologised through clenched teeth to Rosalie and me.
"Just keep him away from me." I grumped upset, still hearing my heart beat in my ears while the blond Vampire straightened cautiously, crossed her arms over her chest and glared fiercely at Sam.
"Make sure he does not turn up on my doorstep ever again." Rosalie hissed angrily, looking daggers at him.
Sam's clenched his teeth once more as well as his fists that were hanging at his sides before he nodded and disappeared the same way Jacob had done.
"Damn mongrels, leaving their foul stench everywhere…" Rosalie ranted as her body was still tense with the fury she felt.
"Why was he even here?" She growled.
"He is blaming us because she went around the bend," I shrugged before sighing heavily and shaking my head disapprovingly.
"This, this …. I can't believe it….." Rosalie went on letting off steam while cursing like a sailor.
