The Reborn Cullen (Jacob Black)

Toxic

"What if he hurts her?" he growls and my eyes widen a bit, I shake my head in disbelief. I sit up a bit, on my shoulders and give him a look.

    "He bought a bed for her to sleep in, not to sleep with her. Trust me, I already got the truth out of him. I wouldn't let Bella get hurt and neither would he." I snap and he sighs, still not believing it but has calmed down.
 
  "I'm sorry I just don't like him." he apologizes and scoots closer, leaning over me. I hear Alice leave, but i'm assuming she's doing it because she saw this in one of her visions. Which is why she's meeting Jasper instead of them coming here to wait for Bella to come.
   
      Sneaky. I wish I could see what she saw. I go back into focus and reply "He's my brother but he can be a pain. I know. He was better before he met Bella. I'm not a huge fan of her." I admit and he smiles.

    "I can deal with her if you deal with him." he teased and I smiled again, hitting his arm softly before he said "Come on you hit like a girl.", knowing I was taking it easy on him.

    So I push him off the bed. It was wood, but He was only a foot away from the edge and it was the first thing that came to mind. I know he wouldn't get hurt, I wouldn't have done it if he would. Afterall my job is to love and protect him. I don't know if I love him yet, I mean I know I do, but not on my terms, I love him as a mate, not as a person yet. I don't know him that well.

    So he falls off the bed but gets back up and jumps on me, "That was not nice." he said, holding me down on the bed.

    I slip one of my hands out from his grasp and slide out from under him. I race and sit on the railing on my terrace. His eyes scan the room quickly, walking slowly to me, like a cat stalking its prey. Of course that's how I think of it. That's how I look at my food. "Don't fall." he warns me as he reaches the door.

      He seemed afraid I would get hurt and I chuckled, "Even if I did, i'd be fine." I remind him and he just rolls his eyes, making his way to where I was.

      He stands in between my legs and takes my waist into his hands, making sure I wouldn't fall. "I still don't want you falling." he says quietly, as I slide my cold hands onto his arms.

       "What a gentleman." I tease and he smiles gently, glancing at the floor, before back up at me. He takes one of his hands off my waist, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

  It was totally cliche but it made me feel like the world stopped, it was only us and for now, it was. "Just be careful, tonight and tomorrow. Don't take on like a grizzly bear. The wolves during the fight, they'll protect you now that you're my imprint." he warned me and I nodded.

      I slid off the railing and looked up at him, "Only if you are careful too. I can't hear up to the campsite, i'd be there too if I my family didn't need me to help dispose of the newborns." I choose my words carefully, I hated and had sympathy for the newborns.

     They killed all those people, but they also were bitten and taken into a scary new world with only pain, no control. "Nothing is going to happen to me. If they didn't need me to cover Bella's scent, i'd be down there protecting you." he convinced me, and the sun started to set. I heard footsteps and I knew it was Edward coming back to wait for Bella.

        "You should go. I hear Edward coming back." I tell him, looking down at our feet, wishing he didn't have to go, that there was no newborn army, that he and Edward didn't hate each other, that he didn't have to fight if they found Bella. But never once did I wish that he wasn't my mate. I could only hope he felt the same.

    He nodded and set a finger under my chin, making me look at him. "Nothing is going to happen tomorrow." he said seriously, before pulling me into a hug. He didn't treat me as if I was fragile, but he didn't hug me as if I was stone. He just pulled me into him, his arms wrapped around my shoulders, mine wrapped around his waist tightly. Not enough to hurt him, that is the last thing i'd ever do.

       The hard thing was he smelled amazing, but he was a werewolf, so I didn't want to absolutely drain him. It was a nice plus. I had about the same control around him as I did around humans. However he did smell better, but I think the werewolf in him denied me that. He still smelled delicious though. I release him from my grip, putting my hands on his stomach, which was harder than I expected it to be.

       He was tough, thank god. I don't know how Edward cares for Bella. I worry about Jacob and I just met him, and he's a werewolf. It is better and worse. He's tough but he's tough because he needs to be, to take on vampires that could crush him. "Go." I tell him, the word hurt me by itself.

      "I'll see you tomorrow." He promised and I nodded, he jumped over the railing. I lean over it, making sure he doesn't hurt himself.

He runs off, glancing back to wave once. But he stayed human, not that I minded. I thought he looked handsome, wolf or human. I left home, after putting my running shoes on. I meet my family and we hunt for the entire night, gathering our strength. For a night, Edward, Jacob and Bella are gone. We spend the time to hunt, having a night to ourselves. To say goodbye, if it comes to that.
