Bells。〃 
〃You promised;〃 I reminded him desperately。 〃Still friends; right?〃 
Jacob shook his head slowly; and the lump in my throat nearly strangled me。 
〃You know how hard I've tried to keep that promise; but I can't see how to 
keep trying。 Not now〃 
He struggled to keep his hard mask in place; but it wavered; and then 
disappeared。 〃Miss you;〃 he 
mouthed。 One of his hands reached toward me; his fingers outstretched; like he 
wished they were long 
enough to cross the distance between us。 
〃Me; too;〃 I choked out。 My hand reached toward his across the wide space。 
Like we were connected; the echo of his pain twisted inside me。 His pain; my 
pain。 
〃Jake〃 I took a step toward him。 I wanted to wrap my arms around his waist 
and erase the expression 
of misery on his face。 
Edward pulled me back again; his arms restraining instead of defending。 
〃It's okay;〃 I promised him; looking up to read his face with trust in my 
eyes。 He would understand。 
His eyes were unreadable; his face expressionless。 Cold。 〃No; it's not。〃 
〃Let her go;〃 Jacob snarled; furious again。 〃She wants to!〃 He took two long 
strides forward。 A glint of 
anticipation flashed in his eyes。 His chest seemed to swell as it shuddered。 
Edward pushed me behind himself; wheeling to face Jacob。 
〃No! Edward—!〃 
〃ISABELLA SWAN!〃 
〃e on! Charlie's mad!〃 My voice was panicked; but not because of Charlie 
now。 〃Hurry!〃 
I tugged on him and he relaxed a little。 He pulled me back slowly; always 
keeping his eyes on Jacob as 
we retreated。 
Jacob watched us with a dark scowl on his bitter face。 The anticipation 
drained from his eyes; and then; 
just before the forest came between us; his face suddenly crumpled in pain。 
I knew that last glimpse of his face would haunt me until I saw him smile 
again。 
And right there I vowed that I would see him smile; and soon。 I would find a 
way to keep my friend。 
Edward kept his arm tight around my waist; holding me close。 That was the only 
thing that held the tears 
inside my eyes。 
I had some serious problems。 
My best friend counted me with his enemies。 
Victoria was still on the loose; putting everyone I loved in danger。 
If I didn't bee a vampire soon; the Volturi would kill me。 
And now it seemed that if I did; the Quileute werewolves would try to do the 
job themselves—along 
with trying to kill my future family。 I didn't think they had any chance 
really; but would my best friend get 
himself killed in the attempt? 
Very serious problems。 So why did they all suddenly seem insignificant when we 
broke through the last 
of the trees and I caught sight of the expression on Charlie's purple face? 
Edward squeezed me gently。 〃I'm here。〃 
I drew in a deep breath。 
That was true。 Edward was here; with his arms around me。 
I could face anything as long as that was true。 
I squared my shoulders and walked forward to meet my fate; with my destiny 
solidly at my side。
