Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight!

A/N: Ok so not even a million pages of an apology would suffice with how long it has taken for me to update this story, and I really have no excuse for taking as long as I have. All it was is that I had no inspiration left for it; I lost all thoughts and plots involved with this story. I really am sorry, and I don't know why – probably the Christmas cheer in the air – but it has struck me again and I am going to make every effort to update this story as often as possible.

Please know I really am sorry and I have no excuses, I simply lost all interest and inspiration for this story, and I don't know. But it is back now, so here we go – Jacob's POV – taking off with the arrival of Bella and the Volturi.

Warning: Character Deaths!

- Jacob's POV -

"Ah, it is lovely to see you all again" Aro calls, stepping forward – Caius, Marcus and Bella directly behind him – all of them smiling wickedly over at us

"I know that the wolf pack is here, please come out where ever you are. Bella has told us many things, we knew exactly what to expect upon our arrival. Now, hand over the little one and all of this will be done" he adds, coaxing my pack brothers out of the bushes

"You will not be getting your hands on my daughter leech" I spit, attempting to walk closer to the man before Edward throws his arms around my waist, pulling me back.

The heat from my inner core is spreading. The urge to phase is beyond measurable. Nothing else matters to me at the moment – I have never wanted to kill someone, or something, as much as I do right now. My arms, legs, hands, feet and possibly my eyes are all shaking with white hot rage as I stare at these freaks that are so determined to ruin my life.

"Jacob please calm down" Edward whispers, running his hand up and down my arm, his cooling touch calming me down just enough to breath properly

"Let the mutt be young Edward – if he wants this to escalate in to a fight than who are you to stop him? Aro asks, taking a daring step closer to us – his eyes now on the house where Embry and Sarah are hiding – hopefully getting ready to run if need be

"Can we all please calm down and talk about this rationally, I am sure Jacob doesn't want a fight to escalate" Carlisle interrupts, giving me a stern look as he walks forwards, politely shaking hands with Aro – and effectively letting the bloodsucker see every thought and feeling the Doc has ever had

"Bella, what have you done?" I shout, unable to control my anger any longer as I look over and see her standing there, paler than normal with her hair falling perfectly around her face and her dark red eyes staring fixedly at me and Edward

"I have done nothing Jacob. I went to Italy with my REAL friends – the people from school – and I happened to run in to Marcus. He was kind enough to take me to his home – he said he could sense and feel the pain I was in because of yours and Edward's betrayal. It was there they found of my desire to become one of them, and so they turned me on the pretence that I look upon you and Edward – to find out what is happening" she begins, walking forward, Marcus directly behind her – his hand unnaturally on her lower back

"I have been watching you both for quite some time. I know of the wedding and the hybrid child – this is something that could expose our world and it is only right that we take care of it now" she finishes, narrowing her eyes at me

"Is that all this is about Bella? Are you sure this has nothing to do with the fact that I imprinted on your boyfriend and now you have found the perfect way to repay me?" I hiss, inching closer, my mind clouded with anger

"Don't even go there Jacob – of course I am livid that you stole my boyfriend, who is meant to be your natural enemy – but there is more to it than just that. It is about the existence of my world – you are going to ruin it if anything about this freak child gets out" she shouts, using her super speed to stand directly in front of me and Edward now.

I can feel everyone else looking at us – none of them seeming to dare get in the middle of this – which for me is a good thing. Bella was my best friend, her betrayal is the one I am worried about – I do not have the slightest inkling of care for why the other freaks are here – we could take them all out now – and that thought alone is over tempting, but first I need to find out why Bella would do such a horrible thing.

"Bella, could you please step back?" Edward whispers, grabbing my arm and dragging me behind him, knowing that I am mere seconds away from phasing

"Sorry Edward, but you can't tell me what to do anymore. You destroyed something wonderful and all because of him" she spits, pointing venomously at me

"You know I have no control over it, and you also told us you were over it. That you understood why we were together and how it is a natural thing – you said this to me after I projected for the first time" I say, narrowing my eyes at my once best friend

"I lied Jacob – of course I was not over it. I know Edward can't hear my thoughts, so it is much, much easier to lie to you than it would be if he could. I took advantage of that – I wanted you to think I was over it. But how could I really ever be over it? Edward was the love of my life. He was going to change me and we were going to live together – forever" Bella hisses, her fists clenching at her sides

"Bella, I never agreed to change you" Edward whispers, shaking his head

"No, but you would have"

"Get it through your head Bella – he doesn't love you anymore and he was never going to change you. Maybe he was disgusted at the thought of spending eternity with you and that was why he was never going to change you – maybe that was why he ran away in the first place" I cut in, growling deep in my throat

"Jacob, please don't make this any worse than it needs to be" Edward whispers in my ear, putting his arm around my waist and pulling me closer to him

"Jacob, Jacob, Jacob – here is the thing. Your words will not hurt me anymore – of course I am not over Edward – he was my soul mate and I doubt I will ever be fully over him, but I have moved on to bigger and better things" Bella says, turning slightly to smile at Marcus

"Sorry to interrupt but we are not here to discuss the misguided lives of the hormonal teen wolf and his vampire friend whose boyfriend he started sleeping with. We are here to collect the child" Caius interrupts, taking a step forward, his eyes narrowed in to slits so small he could almost have them closed

"Your right, of course – I apologize" Bella whispers, taking Marcus' hand and walking back to stand with the other two, all of them looking at us now with expectation

"Did you think we would just hand our beautiful Sarah over to you?" Carlisle asks, crossing his arms across his middle and looking over at his fellow vampires with more anger than I have ever seen from the man

"I had hoped you would be smart enough to do so, yes" Aro nods, his fake smile sending another painful set of shakes to rock my body.

A wave of calm washes over me, leaving me slightly light headed, and looking around I can tell that the same thing has happened to almost everyone else – including the Volturi. The only person who looked normal was Jasper – he must be using his power in order to keep us all calm.

"This must be the amazing power you posses, correct?" Aro asks, turning to look over at Jasper, who stiffens slightly at being spoken to

"I have the ability to manipulate people's emotions" Jasper answers, his face a mask of indifference as the leader of the Volturi walks closer toward him

"What a wonderful gift it is, would you care to join us? I imagine you would do well in Italy" Aro says, his face twisting in to a wicked smile

"Aro we are not here to find new recruits. We are here for the child" Caius interrupts, clearly getting more and more frustrated by the second

"Right you are Caius" Aro says, shaking his head and retaking his post just near the other Volturi members and Bella, his smile disappearing as he looks over at Edward and I

"Give us the child or we are going to have to take her by force" he says, narrowing his eyes, looking completely dangerous for the first time since I had first lain eyes on the leech

"It looks like force it is than" Emmett shouts, running full pelt toward the guard that had advanced toward us from behind the Volturi.

Emmett isn't alone for long, almost instantly the pack have jumped in to the fight – I can see a blur of colour mixed with white as Emmett and the pack make work of the young vampires the Volturi had bought with them

"Are you going to fight alongside the mutts and young Emmett?" Aro asks, looking over at Carlisle

"I am afraid we are – yes" Carlisle sighs, slamming his fist in to the side of Aro's head so quickly that even I had trouble catching it with my super speed and vampire/wolf abilities

Esme and Jasper both take off to fight with some of the guard as Marcus, Bella and Caius all approach

"Your mine mutt boy" Caius hisses, jumping directly toward me, his teeth gleaming as he attempts to catch me off guard and sink them in to my neck. I concentrate on his form – so pale and translucent as it speeds toward me – I concentrate with everything I can, using my urge to phase to encourage me as I force him backward – he lands with a loud crack in to the side of the house – my telekinesis has finally worked when I wanted it too

"I am going to take care of the blonde bloodsucker" I hiss, racing forward and pushing my hands in his hair – I pull him up, forcing him to look at me – I had done a lot of training and I was going to make sure it pays off if it means I can protect my daughter.

I slam his head in to the ground, relishing in the cracking sound that fills my ears as the porcelain skin on his face cracks just above his eyebrow

"It is going to take a lot more that this to keep me down" Caius shouts, slamming his legs in to my stomach, causing me to land with a loud thud on the opposite side of the lawn – right in the middle of the wolf, Cullen and Vampire smack down.

"It is going to take a lot more than that to keep me down as well" I shout, running full pelt toward him, urging my mind to end up behind him – reminding myself of the advantage I will have if I can come in behind him – I wanted nothing more than that in the moment.

A strange pull jerks me forward from behind my navel and I find myself behind Caius, and just over his shoulder I see another me – a solid me – running toward the leech.

When the solid version of me – the real me – hits the vampire in the stomach I quickly grab hold of his head, ripping in the opposite direction to the other me.

Caius' head comes clean off – he is staring up at me with wide eyes – clearly the progress I have made with my abilities has not become news down in Italy. I can't help but smirk at this before the strange pull happens just behind my navel again.

"Jacob, that was amazing" Rosalie shouts, easily dodging the punches Marcus is trying to hit her with

I quickly take a look around, desperate to see how everyone is doing.

Alice, Jasper, Esme, Emmett and all of my pack members are slowly, but surely, taking care of the guard the Volturi had bought with them. It looked like they had managed to get through more than half of them and nobody appeared injured.

Carlisle and Aro were fighting in the middle of the yard. Both of them so quick and graceful with the experience they have between them to see who is winning – it seems like a fair fight to me.

Finally my eyes land on Edward – he has Bella firmly against a tree, his red eyes narrowed dangerously – she looks scared, almost as though she is ready to plead with him to spare her – why did I leave Edward to Bella? It is unfair that he have to fight his once lover when none of this is his fault.

"Edward, can you take Caius' pieces and burn them?" I shout, holding Caius' head away from my body as he attempts desperately to bite me

"Jacob, I am fine. I heard your thoughts – you have nothing to worry about – Bella has made her decision, I am afraid she is going to have to live with that" he sighs, kicking at Caius' body – a few feet from him – so that it lands with a small thud in front of me.

With one final look around I take the blonde leeches head and torso, tossing them ahead, just near the edge of the forest, before I rush inside and grab the matches – not even looking at Embry or my daughter – there was no need to get distracted now.

I flick the match across the side and throw it down on top of the blonde, knowing that he would never rise again and feeling no remorse what so ever – he was the one that had caused the most problems anyway – it was only fitting that he be the first to go.

A blur flashes beside me and I quickly turn desperate to see what was going on. Edward has landed against the side of the house – wincing in pain he pulls himself up, his eyes going wide for a moment.

A sharp pain runs through my stomach and I look down quickly – Bella is beside me, her sharp teeth penetrating my skin. It is painful – like the last time I had been bitten all over again, only this time I don't think Edward is going to be able to help me by sucking the venom out – not when there is so much going on

"Bella, why did you do that?" Edward shouts, his red eyes turning darker as he speeds over, his first connecting with her nose, knocking her back and causing me to fall to the floor, blood seeping from my stomach as my wolf side is unable to heal it

Edward bends down beside me and takes my shirt off, desperate to suck the venom from my system because I have a feeling I got lucky last time – I don't think I will be as well off now – it is burning from my stomach through my system and too my head. My part vampire side is not fighting it off, my wolf side is burning within, desperate for me to phase, but the pain is unbearable – there is no way I am going to be able to phase.

Bella rushes over, using her shoulder to push Edward away from me and quickly following after him

I can no longer see anything, the sky above me is beautiful – almost peaceful – but even that is hard to see as the pain intensifies and my dark eyes begin to water.

What if this is it for me? What if I die right now? What if Bella is the one who delivered my final blow? Would the irony be lost on everyone except for me? What would happen with Edward and Sarah if this is it for me? Hopefully he will live a long and happy life without me, instilling upon our daughter the values and life lessons I assume we would be doing together.

"Jake, are you ok?"

I try and open my eyes – they are heavy and I can still hear the loud crashes, deep growls and ear piercing howls of the battle going on around me

"Wow, Jacob this is bad – here let me help you"

I try and put a face to the voice – I know that voice. But with the blinding pain running through me I can't seem to think of anything

Someone pushes down on my stomach as they lean down, clearly to suck the venom out. I close my eyes again knowing what it felt like when Edward had done it – I wish Edward was the one doing it now – but there is no way that is going to be happening. So I am just going to have to close my eyes and thank my lucky stars that another Cullen is willing to suck my blood clean of venom.

I wait impatiently as the pain gets worse – why was this person not helping me. I open my eyes and see Bella, her evil face contorted as she stares down at me

"Did you think it would be that easy Jacob? No, you will not be saved this time"

I groan loudly and notice that Edward and Alice are now in a fight with Jane and Alec – how had I not seen them here before? They are equally matched and I can't help but want to give them a hand

I concentrate hard – desperate to send my wolf self over there to take at least one of the witch twins out so that Edward could take care of Bella. I turn my head, not wanting to look at the fight – Emmett is beside me, his eyes wide open and his arms and legs missing – had something happened to him?

The sight of Emmett – so fun loving and accepting – broken in to pieces' like this and waiting – praying – that his body will put itself together before someone burns the pieces is enough to send me over the edge.

The loud phasing crack fills the air and I fling myself up, completely startling Bella as I knock her off her feet. I sink my teeth deep in to her arm and pull, revelling slightly in the way she screams, her eyes comically wide.

"Jacob, how did you do that?" she gasps, looking behind me – my not so solid human self was standing behind Jane and Alec – effectively distracting the two of them, giving Edward and Alice enough time to take Alec's arms and pull them apart, throwing them directly in to the fire

"No, Alec" Jane screams, turning toward Alice and using her power to cause the pixie haired girl immense pain. Edward knocks Jane in to a nearby tree before tossing the rest of her twins body in to the fire that Caius' had met his final moments

The not so solid me disappears – I am definitely getting better at controlling my powers – but I still have a long way to go.

Bella pulls herself up and jumps on my back, digging her porcelain like nails in to the skin on the back of my neck. I can feel her breath on my throat as she slams her teeth in to me. The pain comes back tenfold – not that it was gone. I just had enough fear, anger and adrenaline pumping through me that I couldn't feel it.

I drop down, phasing back to human form instantly when I hit the ground. My naked body is shivering with pain as the fresh injection of venom mingles in my blood system with the older injection, making the burning even more painful than before.

"Bella, leave Jacob alone" Edward hisses, rushing forward and slamming in to the girl, clearly stopping her from whatever it was she was about to do when she bent down.

The pain is intense, and I close my eyes, not wanting to feel it anymore and almost begging for death – the only thing keeping me from giving in completely is the image in my head of myself with Sarah and Edward – hanging out at the Cullen house with my pack brothers and Edward's family – trouble free and happy at last.

So, I had to stop this chapter there. Sure it was kind of short, but that is where it needs to be stopped so that Edward can take over in the next chapter.

Sorry again for taking so long.
