  For God’s sake Bella! You are going against nature

  At least look into your own species, don’t defy your nature”

  “I didn’t love him just because he looked good, Jacob

  But because he was the most caring, loving, generous

  Kind, loyal, truthful person I have ever seen

  He is the most perfect person ever been

  Living or lived since the world started

  Since the first bud into flower had blossomed

  He was the best possible reason to live

  Someone to whom all your love you could give

  He was like the most beautiful dream

  Any human can ever have, can ever see

  He changed my entire life

  Opened an entirely new dimension of life

  86

  For me he was my window to happiness

  Anyone would love him, I am doubtless”

  “Ha! At least I am not one of those who like him

  No one deserves any more hatred from all than him

  There is no need to lie; is it the money then?”

  “Jacob Black! You are utterly impossible

  None of the words I said is a lie

  I swear this to you on my life”

  She was utterly angry with me

  She left angrily, ran away from me

  I didn’t believe any of her words

  If he loved her, he wouldn’t have left her

  All alone, unprotected, broken, dejected

  Shattered, tortured, shocked, devastated

  He was just a good looking monster

  Who had trapped her, played with her

  And hearing Bella’s words about him

  How she loved him, how she worshipped him

  Sickened me, made me ill

  More than ever I hated him

  87

  He had shattered my innocent Bella

  She was no more that fun loving Bella

  Just for his pleasure, he played with her

  After he no more wanted her, he had cruelly left her

  She didn’t know what she had put herself in

  And now even she could only think of him

  I will have to wake her up

  On this I would never give up

  Her words had left me speechless, hopeless

  She would spend all her life in sadness

  She would never ever accept me

  Will she ever be able to love me?

  But I won’t give up on her

  I will at any cost win her

  What caused most hatred for vampires in me

  Was that they had induced an irreversible change in me

  Their presence had snatched my humanity from me

  Because of them a werewolf had aroused in me

  Our old legends told us that these vampires

  In fact, to kill these vampires, caused our arise

  88

  We were destined to keep people safe from them

  At any cost we would fight them, kill them

  The Cullen’s presence, being all the time near

  Had induced the changes in me, Sam and others

  I could never be a complete human again

  I would never be completely safe for Bella again

  But I am not a coward

  I will face this situation

  Courageously, bravely

  As it was the fate of me

  But being a werewolf also had some goods besides its bads

  We could hear each others thoughts, when being wolf, in our heads

  No matter we were how far

  No matter if we talked or not

  And hatred again whipped through me

  That her blood sucker, Edward, could also do this

  He could read people’s minds

  Thus, anything about them he could find

  So the legends were true, all of them

  Which told that, had such powers some of them

  89

  He was not the only special Cullen

  Something was also wrong with Alice Cullen

  She could see the future

  Which depended on people’s decisions

  May be, I hope, in future now she sees

  Isabella Swan eternally happy with me

  Having forever forgotten the blood sucker

  The leech, the parasite, the deceiver

  Life is so cruel sometimes

  When everything is going fine

  And the much awaited destiny lies in front of you

  It rips it apart from you, it snatches it back from you

  The same that day happened to me

  There were two giant things for me to worry

  First; Harry Clearwater had had a heart attack

  Second; the evil devilish Victoria was back

  Charlie and Sue were at the hospital

  While Sam, me and others were looking for her

  She played a very great trick then

  She moved away and in the water entered

  90

  The vampires had an advantage there

  We werewolves couldn’t do much there

  I became completely tense, worried

  Because Bella used to spend so much time on the beach

  If she swam double back there?

  I had to hurry and reach there

  Before she reaches I had to go

  And save Bella from any danger so

  I was now running on the road

  Her truck wheels track I followed

  Damn it! It led to the beach

  To her, I had to quickly reach

  Then I heard something

  That made a shudder go through me

  It was Bella’s screaming

  Was anything bad happening?

  I saw her jumping down the cliffs

  How dare she suddenly without telling me do this?

  What was she thinking?

  Does life means to her nothing?

  91

  I dived into the water, as quickly

  As I could, she was drowning, going deeply

  I caught her and out I pulled her

  I pushed out of her lungs the sea water

  I was desperately trying to wake her

  I couldn’t endure this condition of hers

  Nothing bad could happen to her

  As long as I was with her

  She was my life

  She was about to be mine

  Nothing could take her away from me

  Not even death could snatch her from me

  I tried and tried, she spluttered out more and more water

  She was breathing, she was alive; I called her

  “Bella! Honey can you hear me?”

  She looked like having some bizarre dream

  She opened her eyes but they were unfocused

  Was she hurt? Had I been too late? Had anything bad happened?

  “Bella? Love! Can you hear me? Are you alright?”

  “Jacob!” she said in a broken voice

  92

  It was a relief that she was fine

  Finally, I had saved her, made her alright

  It was so cold I had to take her somewhere warm

  But if she is injured? “Bella, does it hurt anywhere?” I asked

  “Just in my throat”, so it was okay

  My home was the nearest for her to stay

  I set my shoulders forward

  To
stop the rain from pattering on her

  It was so cold; a hurricane was about to strike

  At particularly this time why she had to dive

  May be I knew; it was due to him

  He was the sole cause for this, only him

  His departure was making her insane

  Alone she was no more safe

  I knew she had tried to commit suicide

  After he left, she didn’t care much about her life

  I took her inside my home, placed her on the couch

  And then I went into my room

  To fetch some dry clothes for her

  Cold and sea water had completely drenched her

  93

  “These may be large, but these are the best I have got”

  I gave the clothes to her, I was about to go out

  So that she can change but she called me back

  “I am so tired, can’t move, please, with me you stay”

  I stayed there with her

  Looking all the while at her

  She looked so wrenched, completely shattered

  She was remembering him, wasn’t her?

  After a while, at the night

  I took her and the truck I drove

  She seemed so lost all the way to her home

  She was thinking something deep for sure

  I stopped the truck at the street

  She was lying so close, resting upon me

  It was the best moment of my life

  But it was, by something, suddenly destroyed

  Cold wind had blown into the truck sharply

  Carrying with it a stench so burning

  I recognized it immediately

  It was a vampire definitely

  94

  I was badly shaking

  My whole body was trembling

  I was afraid that I would lose control

  And then would be transformed into a wolf

  But for Bella it could be dangerous

  So I decided to get her out of this situation

  I had just turned the truck towards the street

  That she started to beg to stop the truck from me

  “Are you out of your mind?

  You want to go back? It’s a vampire!”

  “Its Carlisle, I know its him, take me back”

  And my everything, every effort wasted away in that instant

  Dawn had shined her face suddenly

  She looked simply happy

  Her eyes were so eager to see the doctor

  She didn’t care about me, no matter

  By them what had been done to her

  And how honestly I had supported her

  Her heart beat only for Edward

  There was no place for me ever

  95

  Why had I been so hopeful, so happy?

  When she was so selfish that she completely betrayed me

  “Take yourself back

  Because there I am not going back”

  Inside se had broken me completely

  But for her sake something else I pretended

  That If a Cullen was back then it changed everything

  We didn’t want to be caught on their territory

  She looked shocked, comprehension dawning on her

  She had seen in my eyes the accusation of betrayal on her

  I could take it no more

  I couldn’t anymore control

  I jumped out of the truck running towards my home

  On the way, out of anxiety, I had become a wolf

  All night I kept wandering in the forest

  I had no life, no hope, no happiness, no rest

  Why had life brought her so close to me?

  Why did the fate bring me close to my destiny?

  When it was to be snatched away from me

  When it was to be ripped apart from me

  96

  But myself for long I couldn’t hold

  I again headed towards Bella’s home

  I had made my decision

  This time I will get her

  I won’t let her escape in anyway

  I had to tell her my feelings straight away

  The blood sucker was there still

  It wasn’t Carlisle but Alice

  Her sharp stench burned my nose

  Through me waves of hatred rose

  But I held myself together

  Bella and I looked at each other

  She smiled rather in a confused way

  But she looked at me in a strange way

  She asked whether we were friends again

  Friends? I thought , “not this friendship crap again”

  I took her into the kitchen

  In my arms I wrapped her

  She rested her head on my chest

  Her heart beat was discontinuous I felt

  97

  She asked whether it was possible

  To be at the same time be friends with me and the Cullens

  I just promised to be her friend forever

  Now I was about to do what I had wanted most ever

  I cupped my hand below her chin

  And pulled her face up to face me

  We looked sadly for a moment towards each other

  Then I took her face in my hands; I was to kiss her

  I had waited all my life for this

  This full of love and compassionate kiss

  I was just about to make my move

  When suddenly rang sharply the phone

  I picked the receiver angrily

  My perfect moment it had interrupted

  I froze when I heard his voice

  How he spoke so gentle and nice

  But what was he inside

  I had known this all the time

  He asked me about the presence of Charlie

  “He is not at home, he is at the funeral,” I told him

  98

  Charlie was visiting

  The funeral of Harry

  He simply hung up the phone on me

  “Who was that?” Bella asked me

  “It was Carlisle”, I lied to her

  He I didn’t wish to remind her

  Then suddenly Alice like wind

  Entered the room, looking all shaken, breaking

  “Bella, Edward!”, “What?”, “He thinks you are dead!”

  “So you tell him that wrong news he had”

  What is it to worry about?”

  Then the call Alice asked me about

  “It was Edward, Bella, Jacob lied to you

  He thinks you are dead, he wants to die too

  He has left for Italy to the Volturi

  He would only stop after seeing you, only you can save him”

  They both were hurriedly ready to leave

  For last time, I asked, “Stay Bella, don’t go, for me”

  “I have to go”, she answered me

  And all alone there the car left me

  99

  I didn’t know why this drama he was making

  Did he want Bella to show him some sympathy?

  I just wished that they get late

  I just didn’t want Edward to be safe

  To return to take my Bella away from me

  He had already done enough damage to Bella and me

  She didn’t return for three days

  Angry fire through me raged

  I told Charlie about bikes of her

  Grounded I wanted Charlie to
make her

  I called when she had returned

  Just to make sure she was breathing, un hurt

  Edward had returned, how could he?

  Such a shameless person I had never seen

  Bella wasn’t attending my calls

  Not Charlie but Edward was making her reject them all

  And when grounded she will be

  She won’t be able to spend time with him

  There was also a very important thing

  I wanted to remind Edward, the treaty

  100

  This was the only thing about which

  I was a little hopeful, for due to it

  He won’t be able to change her

  So he won’t be able to forever keep her

  Although to this thing I believed

  That Bella herself won’t agree

  To change her into a blood drinker

  To snatch her humanity from her

  I had called them to meet me

  Near Bella’s home so I can tell him

  About treaty, but Bella at my sight

  At once angrily asked in a harsh voice

  That why I had told Charlie

  About bikes? What I wanted?

  Before I could explain anything

  Edward read my mind quickly

  And told her all the unsaid things

  He was good at this mind reading

  About this Bella wasn’t exaggerating

  Then he with much respect and dignity

  101

  Thanked me for keeping Bella safe with me

  When he didn’t himself do it
