If you're in, I'm in.

Chapter Eleven: Jacob

All I wanted to do at this point was run. I didn't want to think, process, or feel. I just wanted everything around me to turn into one big blur.

But, I couldn't stop my thoughts this time. Bella was absolutely crushed, and I was the cause! I imprinted and stole the one person she felt like she couldn't live without.

I dug my claws into the earth beneath me, pushing myself forward as hard and fast as I could manage.

Jacob, come home!

Sam's voice suddenly rang out very loud and clear in my mind. An alpha command, shit.

With my large paws ripping at the ground, carrying me through the woods as fast as they could, I made my way home. I didn't slow down until I was only a few yards from my back yard. Phasing back to my human form, I grabbed the pair of underwear and jeans I kept stashed in a tree near the wood line, and pulled them on.

Once they were on, I broke through the treeline, where I found Leah, Seth, Jared, and Embry all in their human form. Then, Sam, Paul, and Quil, in wolf form..
The whole pack was here...this couldn't be good.

Sam, Paul, and Quil phased, and quickly pulled on the pairs of shorts that I hadn't noticed Embry holding.

"What's going on?" I finally asked.

"It's Victoria."

I wasn't fully expecting the impact his voice would have on me, and I wasn't expecting my reaction either.

I spotted him as he stepped from the corner of the house, making his way to our group, and I felt this overpowering pull towards him.
Automatically, I took a step towards him. He was in front of me in an instant, his hand on mine.

It was as natural as breathing. I entertwined my fingers with his, and felt a little of my previous tension start to ebb away.

We stood there, holding hands for just a brief moment, then Edward brushed his thumb over the top of my hand lightly. He smiled slightly, pulling me back in the direction of the pack before letting go of my hand. He stood close by my side.

"Edward found us in the woods on our patrol to inform us of his sister's vision." Sam finally began to explain.

I glanced sideways at Edward, who was watching Sam speak.

"Apparently, shes going to discover that you are what's most important to Edward now, and shes going to come for you instead of Bella." Sam finished.

It happened before I even had a chance to stop it. And the look on Edward's face just made it that much harder to stop.

All I could do was laugh! And I mean, laugh till tears were rolling down my cheeks, and I had a pain in my side. I guess my laughter was a little contagious, cause soon enough the rest of the pack, minus Sam, Paul, and Leah, and of course Edward, were laughing too.

Finally, I managed to collect myself, and catch my breath.

"Seriously? That's what's so important? That's nothing, Sam! I mean, if anything, its a relief that Bella and Charlie are no linger in danger. Plus, now all we gotta do is wait for her to come to us, and destroy her. Its perfect!" I said with a grin.

"Jacob, you do realize how dangerous she is, don't you?" Edward asked.

I just rolled my eyes.

"Shes nothing. This is what I was born for. Its why I am what I am. Its going to be fine. I mean, shes basically walking into the lion's den. Shes not interested in anyone who can't handle themselves. Trust me, Edward, its gonna be alright." I answered with a confident smile.
