"I apologize for the other night. I have only seen you a few years ago and am amazed to see how fast you grown." I smiled. "See, I've only seen my sisters in our kind. It's unexplainable to see another one, a beautiful one." He chuckled, "You must hear that everyday though." I bit my lip, knowing my cheeks were flushing red, "No, not really." He came closer to me, "We must hunt sometime? I would like to see your ability comparing to mine or my siblings." Before I could push Nahuel out the way, Jacob was stampeding towards him, hitting him with blows that scent him flying backwards. Surprisingly, Nahuel was able to gain his balance and landed into a crouch. The pack was not too far behind Jacob. They all surrounded Nahuel, growling threats. Nahuel did not back down one bit, he stood his ground encouraging them to continue. I got in front of Jacob, "That's enough!" Edward and Bella heard the commotion and ran out. They stood in front of Nahuel, motioning the pack to back off. Jacob looked passed me, eyeing his only target. Again, the arrogant man stood in front of me, the one I highly disliked. I will show him. I gave him one last look and walked into the house slamming the door. I knew that must have caught his eye. From my room, I grabbed his little belongs he lift behind, throwing them out the window. Shutting it after and putting the curtains in place. I sat in my bed and played some soothing music. Less than a minute, the knock on my door, Jacob, "Nessie, open up." Of course it was him. I ignored him, putting up the music. "Don't be like this. All I saw was that bloodsucker close to you. I didn't think. I only reacted. Please open the door." No, one minute was not going to show him I was serious, I ignored some more. I heard him sliding down my door. Under the crack, I can see he made him self comfy in front of the door. I laid back on my bed, closing my eyes. Before I could stop myself, I was in a day dream.

I jumped up out of my bed, it's been a hour since my nap. No one came to check on me. I got up from the bed opening my door. Jacob fell into my room, hitting his body on my floor. He staggered up, he must of fell asleep there. I gave him a dirty look and tried to walk out the door. He stood up and moved me away from the door, closing it behind me. "No, sit down. I'm not playing games with you Nessie. I apologized about me not listening to you but all I seen was that creep. I already told you how protective I am about you." I stepped closer attempting to move him, "I do not care Jacob. That doesn't mean you attack every one who talks to me." He stood there like a boulder, not budging, "I'm not moving so you can stop trying. I will try not to do so in the future but I can not guarantee." He paused, "Ness, I have to go back to that reservation. There Alpha was not there when we arrived." I looked at him puzzled, "no one else couldn't answer you?" He nodded his head, "No…there his followers. I would expect my pack to the same."

I was getting upset all over again. I didn't want Jacob to face off with their alpha. This whole situation can be dangerous, "let me go Jake?" His face immediately turned upside down, "No! Never Nessie would I put you into a situation, especially if I have control over." I know he's right but that's didn't stop me from insisting, "I can be the peace maker…" He chuckled, "Nessie, they attacked vampires. Yes your half, but you still have a little whiff of your family. The last thing I would need…" his body started to tremble and his eyes closed, as if he was thinking of a scenario, "NO! The answers no Nessie. You will stay here with your parents and I will have Leah patrolling out front." He started to pace around the room, thinking of another plan. Leah? She didn't like me much. Well not that I know of, but she made no effort to talk to me. I sat on my bed slouching down. He peeked over to me and I could tell it hurt him to leave me but he was doing it for my best interest. I looked up at him, trying to give him a half smile, "fine." I didn't want him going to the reservation with a clouded mind of my safety. His body relaxed to my giving in answer, "I don't want to even imagine…" I got up and put my hand up to his face, do not even think about that Jacob. You have to be focused for tomorrow. He wrapped his hands around my head, closing his eyes. I stayed there in the moment, not saying a word. "I'm going to be patrolling tonight, I will be close if you need me." I held back tighter on to him. I heard his pack outside howling for Jacob to come down. He gave me a kiss on my forehead and jumped out the window.

It's just been a few weeks and so much has happened. I just hope it does not get worst then it already is. Amazon's getting attacked, new pack, Nahuel, and the whole family's not even here. Rosalie and Emmet should be coming tomorrow. Right! That's going to be my reasoning. I'm not going to let Jacob go to the reservation tomorrow, it just didn't feel right. I had to put a stop to this. It's been a couple hours since Jacobs been gone. I should be asleep by now but I can't, not with all this happening. I got up and put on some sweats, a shirt, and tennis shoes. I peeked out my window, I didn't see known of the pack, I knew they were out there. I jumped down and looked once again into the woods, still no one. I inhaled in trying to pick up Jacobs scent, he wasn't to far. I made a dash for it. I ran and ran, not looking back. I could hear foot steps around me, it was Seth. "I'm good Seth, just going to Jake." He whined and slowed down his pace. I got smell he was closer. I came to halt, he was laid out, it must have been his break time. I didn't want to startle him, he was still in wolf form. I walked over as quiet as I can, kneeling down next to him. I gently put my hand up to his cheek, flashing images of us and me, wake up. He opened his eyes, nudging me with his nose. He got up and went behind the bushes. "Ness what are you doing out here at this time? It's not dangerous for you," he came walking out, "gosh, you just call danger…just like your mom." I looked down biting my lip, I know. I heard all the foolish stories my mom got herself into. I was just like her, a magnet to danger. "Sorry Jake, I couldn't sleep. With all this happening…it gets me worried." He walked closer to me, "You don't have to worry. I told you Nessie, I will NEVER let anything happen to you. Now lets get you back to your room please." He grabbed my hand and we walked back to the house. His hand was so warm and comforting. It felt right like this is what it's suppose to be, me and Jacob. We haven't had much time to talk about 'us' with everything. This wouldn't be a good time either. "Jake, can you not go tomorrow. I know you said you had to but the whole family's not here if something was to happen. Rosalie and Emmet come back tomorrow, maybe you can go after? Please?" He let my words process through, "Ness…" he took a deep breath, "ok, only because you said please." He chuckled. I squeezed into him, "thanks Jacob." "Anything for you Nessie." We were walking up to the house, Seth came out the woods. "Seth, we're not going to the reservation tomorrow. We will continue to patrol. I'll be back in a few, bringing Nessie up. Let me know if you need anything." He nodded and hid back into the darkness of the woods.

Jacob scooped me up and jumped in through my window. I giggled. He used to always carry me around when I was smaller. He laid me down on my bed. So many things were running through my mind. Feelings started to overwhelm me again. I had to know what Jake was thinking. We did not have a chance to talk about our date or anything. Was that the last date. Jacob sat on my bed looking over to me, "Ness, you need to go to sleep." I rolled my eyes, I strongly dislike when he treated me like a kid still. I know it was something he was trying to change but it was difficult so he says, since he always used to take care of. "What's on your mind?" It was only with in time before he asked. I ran the words through my mind, thinking which is the way to ask. I had nothing. What I do best in communicating, I reached for his face with my hand. I showed the image of our date and the fun time, so I thought and a question mark. His eyes went back and forth on my face. "What do you mean Ness? Did you not like it?" I exhaled sarcastically, of course he wouldn't understand and I'm not good with words. "Jake the date was great. That's it. That's where it was left?" He still looked confused. "oOo," finally, I think he got it. "I think I know what your asking," he got up from the bed, "with all this happening," he was stumbling on his words. I'm not to sure what he wants. I tried to think of the date again, until now. I don't remember anything that would make him distant. "Ness, you mean everything to me," he turned back to walk over to me, "but lets deal with what we got at hand." That was definitely not the answer I wanted. My eyes filled with disappointment and anger. I'm not sure what answer I wanted, but I know that's not the one. My feelings felt hurt and almost hollow. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of my look. I rolled over on my bed, facing away from him towards the wall. He placed his hand on my shoulder, "Ness? That's not what I meant…" I shook his hand off me and waved my hand to him to go away. I heard him breathing louder, as he was getting upset. It took him a few minutes, but he left my room.

Jacob's point of view

I placed my hand on Nessie's shoulder, I didn't mean to come off the way I did. This just wasn't the time to, it was not safe to be having fun times. I had to protect, regardless if it meant 'we' could not be right now. She shook my hand off and waved me away from her. I didn't want to push the situation, I walked away. My body was filled with rage and disappointment. I knew I was letting her down, even worst, hurting her feelings, but I have to do what's best for her. I jumped out the window, this was enough damage for tonight. Seth came running towards me, "I'm alright Seth…" I waved him away to continue patrolling. I
