Back To Normal?
Jacob POV
Everything went in slow motion. I jumped forward, teeth aching to sink into the cold flesh and bring back my old Edward.
He was still lying in an awkward position on the floor, one hand unconsciously clutching his heart. At the sound of his heart I felt a thrill of both contrasting joy and fear. Joy, because it was so nice just to be able to hear it. But fear because I didn't know what was happening.
It was now only a couple of minutes until the full moon was in the right place.
As my leap reached its peak, I saw Edward stir slightly. Not a second later, did he turn to face me, his green eyes locking onto my wolf form. Wait, green eyes? Quickly I shook away my confusion, not wanting it to deter from what I had to do.
Baring my teeth, I aimed for his juggler, intent on making this as quick as possible. As he saw me coming, his eyes filled with fear and terror. Hastily he tried to get up and run, but his legs were jelly and he sunk to the ground. Instead, he raised his arms in a feeble attempt to ward me away.
That one little move was my undoing.
Seeing him so afraid, so vulnerable yet knowing what I had to do, my landing faltered. I fell heavily on my right side, pain shooting through my shoulder and down my side.
"P-p-please don't hurt-t me." Edward stuttered, panic lacing his words.
I whined lowly at his request. I didn't want to hurt him, but at the same time I didn't know how much this would hurt.
Slowly, he began to try and crawl away, soft cries and fear filled looks haunting me.
But I did what I had to do.
Sinking my teeth into his shoulder, I pulled away instantly. Alice had said that I had to wait until I had a mouthful of his venom. I would have done, if there was any venom there that is. Instead warm, iron tasting blood filled my mouth-not a dash of venom in it.
Horrified I pulled my teeth out of his shoulder instantly, backing away from the now petrified human.
Edward clutched at his shoulder. His gaze wondered from the mauled flesh of his shoulder back to me. I didn't even want to know what I looked like to him. Blood dripping from my mouth, parts of his own flesh still in my teeth. I tried to make myself look as none threatening as I possibly could. It was a hard feat considering what I had just done to him.
So I did the only thing I could do. Slowly I changed back into my human form, letting my bones crack into place as I slowly began to rise into a standing position.
Edward just gaped. "W-what are you?" he stuttered though he made no move to run.
It pained me that he couldn't remember anything. Was this a side effect to what Carlisle made Jasper do?
Alice POV
I ran, that's all I could do. When Edward swatted me aside I knew there was no going back. He couldn't remember any of us. He was foreign. Our only hope now was that Jacob would be able to get through to him in time.
I still couldn't believe that her powers were enough to influence Carlisle and Jasper. My Jasper. If I had any idea of what she could do then I would have warned them. But when she got the revenge she wanted I expected her to leave us, not threaten to tear our family apart. No, she wanted more, she wanted us all dead. She didn't just blame Edward; she blamed us all for helping.
If only we had killed her while we had the chance.
I made it to the house in record time. For some strange reason only one person was here. Jasper. I had hoped for Carlisle so I could maybe solve this problem at the root. Ah well. There was nothing I could do now.
"Jasper!" I called from the back door.
It took only mere seconds for him to be in front on me. From here I could see the things that had changed in him from her influence. His eyes had lost all spark and stared forward blankly-no emotion registering. His posture was tense, always ready to fight more so than usual.
What had she done?
"Yes Alice?" Even his voice sounded like a monotone.
Instead of explaining I grabbed his hand roughly and pulled him out of the door. While we ran I watched his expression carefully, looking for anything that might give that bitch away. There was no joyous laugh or buzz of energy that usually harboured him when he ran. Just silence. Nothing but silence.
Jacob POV
"I'm a shape shifter." I answered like I was saying the weather.
"No you're not," he said, as stubborn as ever. "You're a werewolf." Edward's voice shook as he said the word but he didn't back down.
"It's the same thing." I murmured, taking a few steps forward.
Maybe it was the imprint that kept him from running, but instead of taking a few steps back, he took a few steps forward. For the first time he did look like his seventeen year old self.
"Who are you?" Again he stepped forward, only wincing slightly when his shoulder brushed a low hanging tree branch.
"Black, Jacob Black. I can heal that if you want." I nodded towards his gaping shoulder wound. Taking a few small steps forward, I stopped when we were less than a foot away from each other.
Edward was at least four inches small than me, and that was with his hair which stood a couple of inches off his head. His heart-God it felt good to hear it-sped up at my closeness. He looked up at me with his darkened green eyes. Gently his hand rose to trace small patterns on my forearm that sent electricity sparking through my body.
Maybe it had been a good thing him becoming human. Let's face it, he seemed more ready to accept the imprint and he'd forgotten about all the things beforehand.
He nodded and moved his injured shoulder closer to me. "Why did you bite me?"
I quickly came up with an excuse, "I thought you were someone else."
"Oh."
I was praying that Alice was right, that wolves saliva held healing properties. Gently I twisted Edward around so that his back was up against my chest. At this Edward flushed and his heart beat spiked once more while sending shocks throughout my body.
I could get used to a human Edward.
Bracing myself for his struggles, I worked up a bit of saliva, before roughly spitting onto my palm and gently rubbing it into the wound.
Edward screamed at the contact as his marred flesh charred against my rough skin. Tears made tracks down his face as he tried to contain the gasps, sobs and screams.
I did my best to try and block it all out. Once I was sure I had covered all the wound, I pulled my hand away only to wrap it around his torso as he got himself under control.
At first nothing happened until the wound started to repair itself. It was over in a matter of seconds. All that was left now was a few faint pink scars.
I tensed as I heard a rustle in the trees and I hesitantly pushed Edward behind me once more. Stepping forward a few paces, I scanned the clearing looking for the source of the noise.
"Jake we're not going to hurt you." Alice's voice came through the trees like a source of light.
I tensed at the person who followed. Jasper, the person behind all this. The wolf inside me growled at him fiercely.
Without waiting for them to answer, I turned and grabbed an unsuspecting Edward.
"Run." I wanted him as far away from Jasper as I could get him.
Edward took one look in Alice and Jaspers direction and obliged immediately with no protests. I watched his figure disappear through the trees. Turning my attention back to Alice, I nodded a small greeting before turning to Jasper. "Why are you here?"
Jaspers eyes turned dark. "I don't know. Alice pulled me along."
"Well you need to leave?" I left no room for backing out.
"Come on Jasper, we need to find Carlisle. I'll see you later Jacob." Alice nodded knowingly before dragging Jasper away. Sighing, I looked around to see if I could see Edward anywhere. He was nowhere to be seen.
Quickly I changed back into my wolf form. This way it was easier to pick up his scent. It was strong and smelled much like cotton candy or fairground sweets.
It didn't take long to find him for he hadn't ventured too far away.
Edward was laid sprawled across the forest floor, clothes in tatters and caked in mud. Knowing my luck he was going to be as clumsy as Bella was. At the thought of my old friend a sharp pang of guilt shot through my chest though I quickly pushed it away.
Light snores came from him and he unconsciously rolled over to face me. Grinning to myself, I curled around him, making sure not to squish him, and laid my head beside his.
Edward snuggled closer to me, wrapping himself up in my fur. Once more I fell asleep with my imprint close.
AN: sorry for the wait I've been working on my own novel at the min so these sort of just got pushed to the back. Sorry! Hope this chapter is ok. Just to make things clear yes Edward is human. Yes, someone influenced Carlisle and Jasper. It is the imprint that has made Edward lose his vampire memories and turn human. Hopefully a lemon coming up in the next few chapters!
