Bella's POV

I sped to la-push, on the verge of hyperventilating the whole way. I was speechless out of shock at what had just happened that I didn't stop until I was pulling outside of Jacob's small shack of a house.

I hurled my self out side of the cab , flailing , whimpering, stumbling over tree stumps and branches. Physically ,I probably just looked exhausted - Oh , well apart from the blood trickling from the gash on my cheek bone. But emotional ? I was dying.

" Ja- Jake?" I spun around searching for a face. - When I didn't find one, I think I hit rock bottom - If that was even possible. I started to cry.

"Bella?" I heard his whisper of shock before I saw him. I stared through blurry eyes towards the space his voice came from. I had always been so contained of my emotions around him. I pretended for a whole year that I was okay when I wasn't - he saw right through it , obviously - but I did try. Except for now, when I couldn't think, breath ,or believe my heart was still beating. Everything showed on my face. Everything.

Jacob's eyes widened and he ran towards me. He skidded on to his knees and enveloped me into his arms. "Bella? , look at me! What happened?"

"I- Edward - No , no, no…." I continued to incoherently sob , cry and scream all at the same time.

"Did he do this to you? Bella please, say something" I just grabbed his shirt and broke down. He quickly lifted me into his arms , to his chest and ran into the house. He placed me on the sofa, put his hands around my face and look straight into my eyes. "Who did it" Strangely, it didn't sound like a question, because its something he would have found out one way or another.

He grabbed some cloth off of the floor and started to wipe my blood smeared face. I didn't even care that it smelled of car oil. I started straight back into his black eyes , and told him.

Jacob's POV

I was out in the shed when I heard the familiar rumble of the engine. I stood up immediately , dropped my tools and headed towards my instincts beckon. I beamed as I jogged down the narrow pathway , through weeds and bits of gravel that would lead me to her. She was here. At last.

As I turned the corner , I halted in shock as I saw her crumpled on the floor , crying.

"Bella?" I whispered , I felt my breath coming thick and fast - what happened?. Before I knew it I was by her side gathering her into my arms- I had to get her of the floor - then I saw the blood, pouring out from the flesh under her left eye.

I had gone from jumping for joy at the sound of her entrance, to shaking with anger at what Bella was saying in the space of six minutes. That Bloodsucking Bastard.

I was hellbound. I was Lethal -I was-I… I'd never felt anything like it. But I wasn't shaking with magical hormones. I wasn't about to change. How could I change, when all I wanted to do was wrap my hands , my bare human hands around his throat , closing, clenching…

"Jacob?" She whispered , and I felt a feather of heat against my cheek. Id never seen her look this bad, I mean. Id seen her bad -of course, I was there when they found her, I was there when she was just a shell…. But this was worse. Somehow she wasn't just heartbroken , she was beside herself. Literally. She didn't just look at me with lifeless eyes, they were terrified. And seeing her terrified of him was as much as I could take.

Because I'd tried , hell, I'd given everything I had to convince her of what he was, but she'd stuck up for him .Always. And now this.

What had she ever done to deserve this? I let her cry into me after shed barley made out what had happened. And I'd never seen her in so much pain. Because even if he'd left her. Broken up with her. Or died. She would have always loved him.

But now? Now was the time. It was time for me to kill. To rip. To tear. To make sure none of his plasma swallowing freaks ever licked their lips again. I was snapped out of the fantasy when her muffled sobs quietened.

"Please don't do anything stupid" she moaned

"I can't promise that" I said flatly, but not aggressively. I didn't want to scare her.

"Please. They're going to kill me , just stay. Stay with me" she whispered

"Bella.." I groaned " I cant just sit here, you know that. I love you. I guess you knew that…. But if you think I'm going to let him live ,then you don't know me"

"It was- It was all a lie…." she let out a quick breath " Hey, I've -I've never had a boyfriend….have I?" She looked bemused .

How much I wanted to change that… I couldn't count how many times I'd fantasised about me and Bella. Not dirty thoughts, surprisingly- most of the time . But Just together , you know. Dates. Second Dates. Break ups and make ups. Marriage. Kids. Growing old together. I know right? I'm a guy , I don't - you know- think about that kind of stuff. But I did. I did with Bella. And now we had a chance… Of course I'd never push her. It was going to take months for her to get over this, years even. Maybe she never would. But I would wait for . I Always have. I Always will.

When I turned back to face her. She was already staring at me. Something…changed. I couldn't tell what. But her lips pursed , and suddenly I wanted her like never before.

Bella's POV

He wasn't Jacob anymore. He wasn't the best friend , or the mechanic or Jacob. He was the guy who had always loved me, and even though I loved him too , I couldn't stop looking at his russet skin . His locks of black shaggy hair , the look in his eyes when e was happy…silent tears fell down my cheek as I took in his beauty. And suddenly Edwards beauty didn't comprehend, not that Edward wasn't the most handsome man Id ever seen, but that was all he was. He didn't love me. He never had.

But Jacob… he'd always tried to protect me. Was he the one? Had he been under my nose the whole time , and didn't even known it? Could I love him the way he wanted?

Because it felt like I was falling… deeper into this.. All of it. And when Jacob looked back ,I saw the tenderness of my Jacob. And I couldn't stop myself. I lent in to him, and hesitantly pressed my damp lips against his. He kissed me back…he was soft and tender and gentle "Bella?"

"No.." I whispered. Then my body was pounding, I hitched my leg around his waist , and slid my arms around his neck. I felt his hands around my hips , on the bare skin under my shirt, pressing on the small of my back.

"I never - you don't know what this means…" He mumbled behind more sweet deep kisses.

"But I do , and if they come for me….. I can die happy knowing I had this" More happy tears slid down my face, stinging as they ran over the gash. He kissed them away and stroked back my hair, while whispering in my ear " I'd like to see them try"

I fell into the sheer warmth of his body and stayed there, never wanting to resurface.

Edwards POV

I let her get away…..

"Let. Me .go…" She had begged of me.But I couldn't.

I sat in our medow staring at the sky. Carlisle stood watching me at the edge of the trees. He was there to "monitor" me. As he put it. Translation for making sure I didn't rip his daughters throat out.

I would get Bella back. She had to know the truth before the end. It would be the end - no doubt about it. Because I wouldn't be able to get close to her without breaking the treaty, and after that… it was to the death…. whose though? I couldn't tell.

The One? Trust
