WOW. I've been so neglectful! I'm sorry.

This little bit came to my head. I am trying to wrap up at least two of my other stories, but since this wouldn't leave me alone TA-DA!

No Beta!

Enjoy it or not, it's my world now!

Rain poured. Fitting that it would be raining today. She stared at the two coffins being lowered into the ground.

Sage burned under covers, while drums beat slowly, stopping once the coffins stopped. A cry went out signaling the end of the funeral. She turned, feeling the arm wrap around her.

"It'll be alright sweetie." her gentle voice soothed the soul.

But it was a lie. Nothing would ever be right again.

"Thank you. But I've got her from here." His deep voice almost pounded in her ears.

She felt the hesitancy on the part of her aunt, her arm almost tighter around her.

"She can come with me. She should come with me."

"No. We agreed to this, didn't we?"

Did they? Or did he tell her? She looked up into his hazel eyes, almost confused. Mom, dad, they loved her aunt. She should go with them. There she saw it, the threat. She took a deep breath.

"I'll be fine. I promise."

I promise.

Jacob scowled as Bella rode away in the car with the pixie leech. He had been so freaking close! So close to having Bella in his life, after spending so long healing her.

"Hey Jake!"

He turned and saw Embry and Quil standing at the trees. Jake sighed, walking to them. When he got there, Quil smacked him on the back. "She left?"

Jake growled. "Went to go save the leech that left her."

Embry nodded. "I figured she would," Jake growled again, making Embry hold his hands up. "Let's be real here Jake, you were just a place holder for her."

Quil rubbed a hand down his face. "This is a shitty situation. It calls for cake!"

Jake frowned, looking at him. "Where are we going to get cake?"

Quil smiled, "If you had gotten your head out of Bella's a-hem butt, then you would have known that my cousin from the Blackfeet Nation of Montana, moved here."

Jake rolled his eyes. "Quil, as happy as I could be about your random cousin moving to the rez, what does that have to do with cake?"

Embry smiled, "Well Jake, said cousin opened a bakery right next to Quils mom's grocery. So, family bond means discount and that means free cake to sooth a heartache."

"Luna's Bakery?" Jake stared up at the sign. He then shook his head. "Why Luna?"

Quil shrugged, "No idea, mom named it for my cousin." He stepped up on the porch, and opened the door. The bell rang loudly as the three boys came through. Kim smiled at the counter, seeing the pack boys. "Hey Quil, Embry and Jake!" She winked "Bringing in a new addict?"

Embry laughed, nodding. "Yeah, Jake has never tasted any of the treats so we decided to ease his broken heart with sugar."

Kim frowned, then smiled sadly at Jake, who shifted uncomfortably. "Just let me know what you would like."

Quil nodded, moving behind the counter when the kitchen door to the counter opened. Jake watched as a young woman, about 5'10, curvy, black hair pulled into a half-braid ponytail stepped out with a tray. She looked breath-taking. An apron covered in colors was tied to the front of her, but her light tan skin glowed. Placing the tray of cookies down, she quickly glanced at the boys, her eyes moving to the smiling Quil.

"Quilly!"

Quil groaned, "G, I hate it when you call me that."

She put her hands on her hips. "And I hate it when you call me G." Quil wrapped an arm around the woman, making Jake's wolf growl. Quil frowned at him and pulled her out from behind the counter, to stand in front of his two best friends.

"Guys, this is my cousin, Grace Rivers. G, I mean Grace, these are my two best friends."

Quil waved a hand to Embry, "Embry Call." Grace took a deep breath, and with almost a nudge from Quil, stepped over and hugged Embry startling him. Quil smiled and shrugged at Jake, who shook his head.

Once she stepped back, Quil waved over to Jake. "This is Chief Black's son, Jacob." She turned and smiled, her eyes locking with Jake. His mind went blank. As she moved towards him for a hug, his heart pounded, ears rang, and he felt like falling to his knees.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Jacob."

Her voice was soft, and melodic, like a ancient song. The sweet smell of honey, rain and salt tingled his nose as her arms went around him. Jake wrapped his arms around the woman, taking a deep breath of the calming scent.

He lost Bella, the human side of him mourned.

His wolf side howled in triumph as he had found his imprint.

A/N: I for one, am grateful for twilight, but only in that it helped me grow up into the person I am now. Re-reading Twilight was just very mind-numbing. Bella went from independent to selfish. Which is how I am writing her. If you like Bella, then go to another fic. I always thought Jake deserved better, or deserved independent Bella, but since she never made a come-back, I kept it as I see.

This story takes place in 2006. It begins after Bella goes with Alice to Volterra. Now, from that car driving away the story is completely A/U. Battle of Eclipse does happen, as does the wedding. After that, I have no idea.

There will also be no imprinting on children! I thought that was creepy to every extent.

Flashback scenes will be happening in every chapter. They fill in the background, and will keep in time with my O/C's story.

I will be adding in ages and once completed probably my entire outline based on what happened in the Bella timeline and mine. (Maybe, not sure yet!)
