10. The Vision

CONT.

“What going on?” Jacob asked as he rushed up beside me and Alice.

“Fly..” she whispered.

“They’re not going to Seattle are they? I asked.

“They’re coming here” Alice exclaimed. The three of us searched for the others and met Carlisle in the garage, far from the music and partying.

“They’ll be here in four days” explained Alice.

“This will turn into a blood bath” voiced Carlisle, clearly distraught.

“Who’s behind it?” Edward asked.

“I didn’t see anyone I recognised but” she turned to face me, I knew all too well who she saw.

“It’s Riley Biers” I recite. “But..” I began to say not sure where I was going with this. “What if he didn’t start it. What if he’s being manipulated? Like a puppet” I asked.

“Someone could be playing with the blind spots in your visions Alice” Carlisle agrees.

“Victoria” Bella states. “She could be letting him decide and hiding behind it.”

“Either way the army’s coming and there’s not enough of us to protect this town” Jasper states.

“Hold up. What damn army?” Jacob questions.

“Newborn vampires” Bella answers.

“Well what are they after?” he questioned again.

“They were passing around Bella and Fly’s scent” Alice says.

“They’re after Fly again... and uh Bella” Jacob adds. “What the hell does this mean?”

“An ugly fight. With lives lost” explained Carlisle.

“Well we’re in” said Jacob after turning to his friends for approval.

“No. No way, you’ll get yourselves killed” I exclaim.

“I wasn’t asking for your permission Fly” he shoots back.

“Edward?” Bella asks, looking for his input.

“It means more protection for you” he simply replies.

“Jacob do you think Sam would agree… to an understanding?” Carlisle suggests.

“As long as we get to kill some vampires” voices one of Jacobs friends, Quil. Jake just looks back and shoots him a disapproving look.

“Jasper?” Carlisle asks, looking for his expertise advice.

“They’ll give us the numbers, newborns won’t even know they exist” he answers.

“Carlisle they’re going to get hurt” I plead as he just nods his head.

“We’ll all need some training” Emmett steps in.

“Alright, name the time and place” Jake sneers.

We waited in a remote spot of the woods, waiting for the others to show up to training.

“They don’t trust us enough to be in their human forms” Edward states as we watched the wolves appear. Jacob was the only one that hadn’t morphed. As the others began their training and fighting technique I joined Jacob where he sat on a log observing the action.

“Hey” he greets.

“Hey” I reply. “Jake are you sure you know what you’re getting yourself into” I finally question.

“Fly, why are you so against this?” he asks, giving me his direct eye contact.

“Because I don’t want to lose you” I state.

“Why?”

“What?”

“Why don’t you want to lose me?”

“Because I care about you Jake, I don’t want to see you get hurt” I admit. My comment struck a nerve with him, his whole face seemed to light up as he stood up and began to walk away.

“Yes I care about you, why is that so important for you to hear?” I yell after him.

“Because throughout all this I want you to remember how and what you felt” he replies, cupping my face in his hands as his shinning brown orbs stared into mine. My gaze chased after him as he morphed and left with his pack, tears threatened to show as they stung my eyes. I didn't want to love him again, but the thing is i never stopped. He knew that, Rosalie knew that, so did Bella and Edward, so why couldn't I just admit it?
