CHAPTER 13

THE INEVITABLE

Jacob's POV

"Jacob…Help me…I need you" I heard a familiar faint voice in darkness as I wounded my way through the vast forest. The strong sweet scent was burning my nose, I could smell it. I knew they were here somewhere. "Jacob….Please…No…No….No!!" came the scream. It was Candace. My heart exhilarated at the sound of her screaming. I took a left and came across the old cubby house I found before. But this time it was all broken because there was a gigantic hole in the ground. I started to sweat as I saw Candace's body hovering on the air, her body suspended. I looked at her terrified as a horrible feeling entered my stomach. The whole forest started to spin, as if everything was being sucked in to a vortex. Everything around me started to disappear one by one, including Candace's face. Until everything disappeared in a black void. "Jacob…" Came a soft voice calling to me…

I started to stir. My whole body drenched in sweat. Random pictures started popping out of my head until everything disappeared and I felt a cold sensation that woke me up. I sat up on the bed, absolutely drenched, breathing heavily as I looked around my surrounding, finding relief as soon as I realized that I was still in my room. I looked at my soaked body and looked up, a frown started to form in my face. Billy was standing over me with a small bucket.

"Dad, why the hell did you do that?!" I asked, obviously annoyed. I looked at Billy's face and couldn't help but feel guilty. I knew he was worried, but what the hell, did he really have to pour a bucket of water. "Sorry Jake, but this is the fifth bed I've bought you this Month, I knew any minute that the whole thing was about to collapse" he said calmly. I knew for a fact that the strings in my bed were barely hanging on, it wasn't the first time that I had the nightmare. It seems that every time I would close my eyes I would dream about the same thing; Candace disappearing from the face of the planet, looking absolutely tortured.

My heart was still beating fast as I hopped off the bed. "Looks like your fine now, call me when you need anything alright Jake?" Billy asked, I nodded as he headed back to his old room. I walked towards the lounge, looked at the clock, 3:00 AM, I was about to pick up the phone but thought better of it. Instead I stripped off my clothes then changed morphed in to my wolf self, then after having put the clothes in my mouth, I ran towards the direction of Bella's house, and Bella's room, knowing fully well that Candace would be sleeping there.

Ahh, Bella, I wonder what she was doing now. It's difficult to believe that I was once so in love with her. I still love her, but my affection had turned cold, I think of her as a sister now. I do still love her, but only the human part of Bella. I have no idea how I would react to her now. She's been gone for almost a year now. I never would have imagined that being without Bella would feel like this. But somehow I feel that she just doesn't exist anymore. To me, all that really mattered is Candace, and this very moment. I felt guilty somehow after a while, somehow I felt like I've betrayed Bella.

I was coming close to Bella's house now. My heart started beating once again. I was anxious to see Candace. Even just a glimpse of her. I needed to know that she was fine. It's been 2 months since we finally got together and became official, the dreams started a month ago. I've been on edge ever since then. But nothing has happened so far.

I stood in front of Candace's window, I looked up and frowned. Her window was open. She always kept it open, I have no idea why she always kept it open, but every time I came, the window was always opened.

I heard feet shuffling from upstairs as I hid behind a tree. My breathe almost caught. Candace was standing there, her eyes wide, looking around the darkness as if she was expecting someone. My frown deepened. "Jake? Are you there?" came her soft voice. I froze. How did she know I was there? I stood still and contemplated on my next move. I looked at Candace and my heart almost fell, her look of disappointment were like needles in my heart.

I slowly moved away from behind the tree and stood right under her window. I hardly ever blush, but when I saw Candace's face light up, I felt warmth hotter than a burning Bunsen burner creep up the side of my face. She looked beautiful under the pale moonlight, her red hair shining. She was smiling up at me. She looked around briefly then looked back at me, her smile hinting mischief.

She signaled for me to come up. I didn't hesitate as I climbed up the tree close to the window. As soon as I was leveled, I jumped off the tree, and landed lightly through the window, not making a single sound. I looked around the room. When Bella was still there the room had a very different feel, and it always smelled too sweet, the scent burning my nose. But ever since Candace came along, the sick sweet smell had vanished, replaced by a different sweetness that was all too Candace. I looked around the pink wall paper, to the bed that was ruffled, then to the girl who stood right next to me, wearing nothing but a white opaque nightie.

I forced myself to look away. Damn it, you look delectable. I thought to myself. Candace looked at me, "What did you say?" she asked, I looked at her awkwardly, "Did I just say that out loud?" I said quietly. Candace looked at me innocently, her eyes wide, "Said what out loud?" she asked, I looked down and mentally kicked myself.

I took hold of her hand in order to distract her. I stroked her cheek then kissed the spot my fingers just left. I knew that Charlie was just down the hall, there was no way I was going to lose control. I sat Candace down on the bed and joined her, letting her snuggle up to me. "You feel so warm…" she said softly, nuzzling my neck. I mentally started reciting 10 Hail Mary's to block out the thought of her hand skimming down my abs.

I felt her hands wrap themselves around me. I kissed her forehead, relief taking over. I'm glad that she was fine, and I'm definitely glad that I was still able to touch her. I'm scared, afraid that a day might come when something or someone will take her away from me. The very thought sent possessive waves up and down my stomach. My hold around her shoulders tightened as I kissed her lips gently.

Then as if she was losing control, she pressed herself against me, my erection shot up at a triple speed. Her soft hands started wandering all over the place, they were skimming down my neck, then at my taut stomach, then finally she was feeling me up through my jeans. I pulled her hands away, laughing softly, softly enough that Charlie wouldn't hear.

"Candace…We shouldn't" I said hesitatingly. I took her hands and gave them soft hedonistic kisses. I looked at her beautiful face, she was frowning, so I brushed her lips with my thumb. They were soft and absolutely red, even more red now, since she's been biting them. She crossed her arms, "Why the hell not?" she said crossly. I grabbed her face and kissed her lips. "Because, Charlie is just down the hall…You don't want me to be banned from seeing you ever again, do you?" I said softly.

I felt her shiver, "Besides, I only came to check on you" I chuckled

Candace's POV

I stared brazenly at Jacob, my heart was still beating double time. Jake and I have only been together for two Months now, but I feel like I've known him all my life. I love the way he looks at me, the way he's always so protective, I especially love the way it feels when he looks at me with those dark eyes. The dark eyes that told me that he wanted to eat me up.

I've never had sex with anybody before, yet again, I've never met anyone who I wanted to do it with…Until now. Jacob was everything to me, but right now I was getting frustrated. How could he laugh at me? Did he really think I was that crippled? I stared back at him irritated. I know I was pouting like a small child, but feeling rejected doesn't feel that great. I jumped off the bed and pulled away from him.

No kisses or hugs or anything if he's going to be like that. But as I was getting up, both of my feet got tangled on the blankets and I was sailing down towards the floor, which is just brilliant.

I closed my eyes and anticipated my fall, but it never came. I opened my eyes and found Jacob's face inches from mine. "You're a silly girl you know that?" he chuckled. "I checked on you because I had a nightmare, I was worried, so I rushed here, and plus" he added in a low seductive voice, "I wanted to kiss you so bad…So can you stop pouting now?" he said in a much normal voice, setting me down on the bed once again.

I knew I was glowing crimson so I tried to hide my face. "Hey…don't do that, don't ever hide that beautiful face from me" he said, his voice oozing with sweetness. He was stroking my face in such a fashion that it was a little hard to think. I wanted to stay mad, but I was melting in to a puddle of girlie goop.

Not waiting for anything to stop me, I jumped him again, but this time, I made it hard for him to let go. He was kissing me back with as much passion and I was burning up…fast! I started lifting up the hem of my night gown but he stopped me. He was breathing heavily. "No!" that was all he said, he didn't yell or anything, but his voice was ringing with finality.

"Why not?!" I snapped, but not loud enough for the sleeping Charlie to hear. "What do you mean why not? Damn it Candace, Charlie could catch us" he said, adding more pressure to his words. I let out a heavy sigh. "Fine then be that way, I know it when I'm not wanted!" I said, turning away from him and covering myself up with the blankets. I was seething for a while, and he wasn't saying much either.

"Candace…" Jake said softly, but I didn't reply. He started poking me, and when I wasn't responding, he poked me repeatedly until my temper escaladed. "What?!" I said harshly. He was still poking me, "You don't honestly think that do you?" he said softly, his voice filled with hurt. I turned to look at him, my heart nearly gave out. "You know that we will do it soon, it's just that this isn't exactly the right time" he said softly.

I don't know why I was being really impatient. Jacob was mine, he was mine for as long as I lived. I let out a sigh and turned towards him, draping an arm around his stomach. "I love you, you know that?" I asked softly. It was true, it was the damnedest thing, but it was true.

He nodded, then he kissed my cheek. "Go to sleep baby, we have school tomorrow" he whispered softly. I held on to him tightly. I didn't want him to go, I never want him to ever let go. If he did, I don't know what I would do.

The truth about just how much I loved him scared me to death, but there was no way in hell I would ever replace it for anything else. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, Jacob's warmth becoming my shelter, and his evergreen scent became the air that I breathe.

:

I've been in Quileute Valley High for seven months now. I've noticed that it's been very busy when it came to the boys these days. They were often gone for long periods of time. I haven't seen Jacob in almost a week, and I was starting to worry. Something was telling me that something bad might have happened.

I kept coming back to La Push just to check with either Emily, Billy, or Kim, but no such luck. Jacob and the boys had been gone for a week now. I looked out the window during English, my mind slowly drifting back to Jacob when I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay sweetie?" came Kim's soft voice. I smiled weakly at her and nodded. "Look I've been through the same thing as you. Don't let it bother you. The boys are strong, just remember, you're not alone" she said kindly. I smiled.

Despite the fact that Kim was trying to comfort me, I still wanted to know what the hell was going on. Nobody was telling me anything, especially Billy, he's been very tight lipped about the whole thing. The only ones who didn't go were Leah and Seth. They still had to patrol around La Push during the night.

I cringe at the thought of those two patrolling by themselves. I couldn't imagine it. Especially Leah. Despite the tough front she always puts on, I know deep inside that she's delicate. There are times when a gentle expression would cross her face, then the boys would say something to make her want to hit them very hard.

It must be tough, being the only girl in the pack. But still, I feel that Leah has no choice but to act tough around the guys, especially when Sam is one of them. The same guilt started clawing at me whenever I thought about what had happened between Sam, Leah and Emily.

I feel grateful that Jacob imprinted on me, but I also feel bad, I see imprinting as a completely different thing. I see it more as a curse than anything else. I can't even begin to imagine how it must be like for Leah. Falling in love with someone who promised you the world then suddenly he turns around and crushes everything you've ever known.

I was drifting off again, I jumped up when I heard the bell go off. I looked around to find everybody smirking at me. I blushed slightly and ignored them. I walked out of the classroom and waited for Kim.

It's going to be another long day… I thought bitterly to myself. Jacob…Where the hell are you?

There was hardly anybody around anymore. Kim had long gone home and I stayed inside the library trying to finish up any homework so I didn't have to do it that night. I walked through the deserted locker room. I looked around, there was nobody there. The whole place gave out an eerie atmosphere. I shivered as I approached my locker. I opened my locker and something fell out. I looked down and found a single red rose. I bent over and picked it up, there was a note attached to it.

Hey baby, I missed you. I'll be by the cliff after school, I'll wait for you there.

x Jake

My heart was hammering insanely as I read the note over and over again. Jake was back. I felt like jumping for joy, but I almost screamed when I realized the time.

I ran out of the school and almost swore. It was raining heavily outside. I ran to the Chevy and yanked the doors open. The water was beating down on the window pane very heavily. I reached for the keys and tried to start the car, and to my dismay the engine just faltered. I tried once again but to no avail.

I whacked the steering wheel and almost jumped when the car let out a gigantic beeping sound. "Argh! This is just great!" I yelled loudly. I stepped out of the car. Just when I was going to see Jake once again, the stupid old car wouldn't work.

I kicked the hood of the car and swore like a sailor. Then suddenly I could feel somebody behind me. The hair on the back of my neck started prickle as I felt the presence behind me get even closer. I slowly turned around anticipating who or whatever was standing only a couple of meters away from me. The wind suddenly became so still, but the odd thing is the rain got even heavier.

I rubbed my eyes as I came face to face with a man. He had long blonde hair that was tied in to a pony tail. He wore a black coat , his face was pale, and he was beautiful, his lips a perfect red, his eyes mesmerized me. My instinct told me to run away, but my feet couldn't move.

Instead I kept on looking at the man. I noticed that he had a light dark purple shadow around his eyes. Eyes which reminded me so much of an eagles sharp eyes. His lips suddenly contorted in to a cruel smile which were lacking of humor.

I turned around sharply and ran the opposite direction. But I didn't even get a hundred meters when I felt a cold hand grasping my shoulders. Every pressure point in my body felt like they were spontaneously combusting as I felt a fire run through me. My vision were becoming shrouded in darkness as I let out a scream. The last thing I thought of before my consciousness clouded over was Jacob's face…

Jacob's POV

Jacob take left, Quill you go right

Sam's voice clearly instructed us. I took a left and dodged a giant tree while Quill swerved to the right. I bared my teeth at the prey. Checkmate. I thought smugly. I lifted up one giant paw and slammed it on the young newborn bloodsucker. His smell was overwhelming, the sweet smell burnt my nostrils to no end. I tried to hold my breathe as Quill and I clobbered him to death then tore him apart. I had the one arm in my hand when I heard it.

A sharp familiar scream pierced my ears. I instantly stopped what I was doing and listened. But I didn't hear it again. Did you hear that scream? I asked, as I tried to figure out where I've heard that voice before.

Jacob! Concentrate! Sam barked. I tore the bloodsucker to pieces and threw body parts on the on going fire. Piece by piece we all dragged them in to the fire. I let out a sigh. we've been at this for a week now. We've even gone as far as chasing them out of the border, yet they just kept coming at us.

Candace…My thoughts started drifting off to her. Guilt ripped at my heart as I thought about not saying goodbye to her earlier this week. I had wanted to, but Sam had pushed me out the door, saying that the scent we had caught a couple of months ago floated back up again.

I didn't talk to him for a couple of days, but he set me straight. "I've been through this so many times before. Believe me, you'll be back with her in no time. You have to remember that I also have Emily there, you're not the only one" he said roughly. I looked away, but my eyes zeroed in on Jared, who had been sulking as well. Childishness was very hard to own up to, but what could I do right?

As I tossed another body part in to the flame I heard the same scream, but this time it was different. The screaming was accompanied by a massive amount of sobbing as if the voice was in pain. My muscles knotted up and I froze. Jacob…I need you…Her voice rang in my ears. I stopped breathing for ten seconds before turning to Sam.

You didn't hear that? I asked slowly. Sam turned, his wide eyes filled with exhaustion. Hear what? he asked. I shook my snout from side to side and closed my eyes. It's Candace…I think something big has happened back home. I said in a dark voice.

I heard the thunder give out an overwhelming boom. I ran as far away from the pack and ran even faster to get back to Forks.

An overwhelming terror was filling me up inside and out. My heartbeat started beating a little too fast for comfort. Jacob…Jacob! Calm down, I'm sure she's fine! Came Embry's voice. I knew that they were hot on my heels, but I let my animal side take over, and pushed my self to the limit.

The trees went past me, everything becoming a blur. Please be fine…please be fine…please be fine. I mentally kept repeating those words as I rushed towards the edge of the woods. I was getting closer and closer to Charlie's house.

I was just behind the house when I turned back. I hastily put on a shirt and ran all the way to the front. I saw that Charlie's cruiser was on the driveway. I knocked loudly on the door, taking care on not breaking the whole thing.

I heard footsteps coming from inside and held my breath. It was Charlie. "Hey Charlie! Is Candace there?" I asked hastily, my breath just a little shallow. Charlie's face crowded in confusion. "Wait…Isn't she with you?" he asked, his voice a little hoarse. I shook my head as terror started seeping up, blocking my windpipes.

Charlie grabbed something from the side table and gave it to me. Hey Charlie, I'm going to be late tonight, I'm meeting up with Jake. x Candace

I held my breath and closed my eyes. It wasn't Candace's hand writing. I would know Candace's hand writing anywhere. I abruptly turned away from Charlie and ran. "Wait Jacob! What's going on?" but I didn't turn around, instead, I kept on running, then once I knew that I was out of his line of vision, I morphed back in to a wolf and ran as fast as I could. I reached my house within a matter of minutes.

Everybody was there. The whole pack was there, even Kim and Emily. Everybody was there, except for Candace. I walked towards Seth and Leah who were both standing with very guilty faces. "Where the hell is Candace?!" I asked, my voice seeping with venom.

I looked from Leah to Seth, both of them looked down. I heard footsteps behind me. "We just came back from the school. He was there. I smelt his scent on the same spot as where Candace had been standing" came Sam's voice. I felt like melting, all the heat raging up inside of me. I smashed the closest thing that I could reach. The potted plants shattered as I ransacked my hands through each of them. My anger boiling up in to the surface.

Candace's POV

A stab of pain woke me up from my deep uncomfortable slumber. I looked around and found that I was in a barn. I saw that there was one window above me. A stream of light was coming through the window, illuminating the barn. There was a haystack to my left, and horses to my right. I looked around and found a door.

Basic instinct told me to get up and run for it. But as I was standing up, I felt a jolt of pain as I realized that my leg had been broken. Then I felt the stabbing pain in my head as I crashed in a heap on the ground.

"Where do you think you're going?" A smooth voice with a strong Spanish accent said.

I quickly looked around and my eyes clashed with golden ones. I stared at the eyes of the man that held me captured. Then suddenly the feeling of terror started up once again, leaving me breathless.

"Who are you?" I asked breathlessly. He smiled coldly at me, but didn't answer. "Who I am is non of your concern. What you should be concern of is whether your lover will take the bait" he said softly, his dark hair was slicked, some pieces of strands were falling all over his face. I noticed that his eyes were golden, just like Edward's had been. I shivered violently.

One minute the man was standing five feet away from me, the next minute his nose was practically pressed against my face. "You are very beautiful, bonita, it is no wonder why that estúpido perro picked you" he said, his fingers ravishing my cheeks. I shivered even more as I tried to think of ways to dodge him and get the hell out of there.

"Ahh don't even think about escaping amor!" he said elegantly, his Spanish accent lulling me to sleep like it was some kind of a lullaby. I shook myself as he held my face with a death grip. "You see, she will never let you escape" he said smoothly. Then my eyes followed the direction of his gaze. Standing a mere few feet from me was a beautiful woman with beautiful dark chestnut hair. But she was looking at me with such hatred. Two more women emerged from behind her. One had beautiful strawberry blonde colored hair cascading down her back, while the other had straight black hair. All of them were beautiful in a sense that it was out of this world. I gulped as the blonde one glared at me.

Another one appeared, but it was a man this time. "A lover for a lover…What do you think Irina?" he asked, addressing the girl with the chestnut hair. Her face suddenly became impassive as she looked at the space behind my head. Then she snapped out of it. Her gaze were back at me.

"Those dogs will pay for what they did to Laurent" she said coldly.
