Discovery

Jacob Black hugged Bella Swan tighter to his chest.

Their lips molded together in heat, bodies pressed flush against each other. One tanned hand cupped Bella's back while the other rested on her cheek, brushing it gently. Bella's fingers wound around his neck and played with his short hair.

I—I love her so much it hurts.

I can't regret this…I don't…But why does my heart beat this way?

He lived off the blood of others. He killed people…Animals. His heart didn't beat. He was cold to the touch. His eyes turned red. He couldn't have dreams. He couldn't die.

He was…a monster. And he was unstoppable.

He always thought he didn't have one. He was taught at a young age—as a human boy, he still remembered— that monsters, sinners, didn't possess mind, heart, or soul. And he believed it.

Maybe that's why, when he caught the thoughts of Jacob, Edward didn't. Feel. A. Thing.

He just…

Stood there. In a state where he couldn't do anything. He stopped breathing. He stopped listening. He stopped…everything. It was almost like his very existence was a smudge of black, and he was blotted out.

Then reality came back into focus—

He greedily gasped in air, and his eyes shut tightly. His teeth gritted to hold back—he didn't even know what he was going to do.

But he understood one thing: he had to get away. She made her choice, and now he had to move on.

But was it possible? He was willing to kill himself for her, do anything for her if she just asked enough.

He knew she made the right decision though. He didn't notice the stinging of his eyes until he left the wolf territory.

Bree flung herself at Kagome's hard body, and shivered at the cold skin she clutched. Tears blurred her vision as she sobbed into the vampire's neck.

"It's going to be okay, baby." Kagome reassured, emotion eating at her voice, making it gruff. Bree just tightened her grip.

"I'm sorry." She sobbed. "I'm sorry I doubted you."

Kagome's face twisted. She petted Bree's short hair, whispering sweet-nothings in her weaker ears.

~;~

"Hey Kagome…" Bree started hesitantly.

Dark red eyes looked up from their spot on the ground.

"You know, I never had a mother. She left when I was younger, and my dad beat on me."

Kagome stood up and strolled towards Bree, a frown on her lips. "That won't happen again." She promised.

"Yeah…But um—these last couple of days, it's just that…" Bree swallowed, nervous. Then she shut her eyes and said in a rush, "Canyoubemymom?"

Kagome came to a stop, quiet encasing them. Then she smiled, her face lighting up through her pain.

"Of course."

~;~

"It's alright. We're safe now. No one can hurt us."

"Mama—everyone's dead. Fred, Diego—even Victory and Riley! How will we survive?"

Kagome's copper eyes softened. "You will survive just fine. You're human, aren't you?" She chided, teasing her.

Bree's eyes widened, almost not comprehending that it was true.

"How?" She asked, staring at Kagome in wonder.

Kagome's smile weakened. "It's simple. It's my miko powers healing your body, because your soul was still here. I can't make you a living undead, however I could make you alive—human."

Bree's eyes glittered with unspoken feelings. She buried her face deeper into her adoptive mother's skin.

Yes, Kagome knew the consequences of bringing her back to life. No matter how terrible the end of the story may be for the priestess, she had these moments to cherish. She understood all too well.

"We'll have to relocate soon. They'll find us here if we don't move."

Bree nodded, pulling away and wiping her eyes.

Then Kagome stiffened, eyes alert and guarded. "Show yourself." She ordered, teeth bared in warning as she glared outside the entrance of the cave. Bree backed up to conceal herself behind the feral vamp.

Silence greeted the couple.

Leah: So there you have it people. Edward found out about Jake and Bella, Kagome explained her power, and I typed Kagome and Bree's relationship...sorta.
Who can guess what'll happen next? I'll credit you if you're right! Was it Kagome's imagination or was there someone actually there?!
Find out next time~Bye!
P.S. Thank you for all the reviews, favorites, follows, and so forth! It makes me feel so joyess to read them all! (Joyess? o.o)
UPDATE: For some reason, this chapter isn't showing up for me or my readers. I think it's because there was recently a blizzard where I live. Hopefully the problem will be resolved soon :)
