    I took a deep breath。 “There was nothing to forgive。” 
    I wanted to skip past this part; the betrayals; the accusations; but I knew that we had to talk it through 
before we’d be able to move on to anything else。 
    Jacob’s face puckered up like he’d just licked a lemon。 “I wish Sam had taken a picture when he found 
you that night last September。 It would be exhibit A。” 
    “Nobody’s on trial。” 
    “Maybe somebody should be。” 
    “Not even you would blame him for leaving; if you knew the reason why。” 
    He glared at me for a few seconds。 “Okay;” he challenged acidly。 “Amaze me。” 
    His hostility was wearing on me — chafing against the raw; it hurt to have him angry with me。 It reminded 
me of the bleak afternoon; long ago; when — under orders from Sam — he’d told me we couldn’t be friends。 
I took a second to compose myself。 
    “Edward left me last fall because he didn’t think I should be hanging out with vampires。 He thought it 
would be healthier for me if he left。” 
    Jacob did a double take。 He had to scramble for a minute。 Whatever he’d been planning to say; it clearly 
no longer applied。 I was glad he didn’t know the catalyst behind Edward’s decision。 I could only imagine what 
he’d think if he knew Jasper had tried to kill me。 
    “He came back; though; didn’t he?” Jacob muttered。 “Too bad he can’t stick to a decision。” 
    “If you remember; I went and got him。” 
    Jacob stared at me for a moment; and then he backed off。 His face relaxed; and his voice was calmer 
when he spoke。 
    “That’s true。 So I never did get the story。 What happened?” 
    I hesitated; biting my lip。 
    “Is it a secret?” His voice took on a taunting edge。 “Are you not allowed to tell me?” 
    “No;” I snapped。 “It’s just a really long story。” 
    Jacob smiled; arrogant; and turned to walk up the beach; expecting me to follow。 
    It was no fun being with Jacob if he was going to act like this。 I trailed behind him automatically; not sure if 
I shouldn’t turn around and leave。 I was going to have to face Alice; though; when I got home。 。 。 。 I supposed 
I wasn’t in any rush。 

    Jacob walked to a huge; familiar piece of driftwood — an entire tree; roots and all; bleached white and 
beached deep in the sand; it was our tree; in a way。 
    Jacob sat down on the natural bench; and patted the space next to him。 
    “I don’t mind long stories。 Is there any action?” 
    I rolled my eyes as I sat next to him。 “There’s some action;” I allowed。 
    “It wouldn’t be real horror without action。” 
    “Horror!” I scoffed。 “Can you listen; or will you be interrupting me with rude comments about my friends? 
” 
    He pretended to lock his lips and then threw the invisible key over his shoulder。 I tried not to smile; and 
failed。 
    “I’ll have to start with the stuff you were already there for;” I decided; working to organize the stories in 
my head before I began。 
    Jacob raised his hand。 
    “Go ahead。” 
    “That’s good;” he said。 “I didn’t understand much that was going on at the time。” 
    “Yeah; well; it gets complicated; so pay attention。 You know how Alice sees things?” 
    I took his scowl — the wolves weren’t thrilled that the legends of vampires possessing supernatural gifts 
were true — for a yes; and proceeded with the account of my race through Italy to rescue Edward。 
    I kept it as succinct as possible — leaving out anything that wasn’t essential。 I tried to read Jacob’s 
reactions; but his face was enigmatic as I explained how Alice had seen Edward plan to kill himself when he’d 
heard that I was dead。 Sometimes Jacob seemed so deep in thought; I wasn’t sure if he was listening。 He only 
interrupted one time。 
    “The fortune…telling bloodsucker can’t see us?” he echoed; his face both fierce and gleeful。 “Seriously? 
That’s excellent!” 
    I clenched my teeth together; and we sat in silence; his face expectant as he waited for me to continue。 I 
glared at him until he realized his mistake。 
    “Oops!” he said。 “Sorry。” He locked his lips again。 
    His response was easier to read when I got to the part about the Volturi。 His teeth clenched together; 
goose bumps rose on his arms; and his nostrils flared。 I didn’t go into specifics; I just told him that Edward had 
talked us out of trouble; without revealing the promise we’d had to make; or the visit we were anticipating。 
Jacob didn’t need to have my nightmares。 
    “Now you know the whole story;” I concluded。 “So it’s your turn to talk。 What happened while I was 
with my mom this weekend?” I knew Jacob would give me more details than Edward had。 He wasn’t afraid of 
scaring me。 
    Jacob leaned forward; instantly animated。 “So Embry and Quil and I were running patrol on Saturday 
night; just routine stuff; when out of nowhere — bam!” He threw his arms out; impersonating an explosion。 
“There it is — a fresh trail; not fifteen minutes old。 Sam wanted us to wait for him; but I didn’t know you were 
gone; and I didn’t know if your bloodsuckers were keeping an eye on you or not。 So we took off after her at 
full speed; but she’d crossed the treaty line before we caught up。 We spread out along the line; hoping she’d 
cross back over。 It was frustrating; let me tell you。” He wagged his head and his hair — growing out from the 
short crop he’d adopted when he’d joined the pack — flopped into his eyes。 “We ended up too far south。 
The Cullens chased her back to our side just a few miles north of us。 Would have been the perfect ambush if 
we’d known where to wait。” 
    He shook his head; grimacing now。 “That’s when it got dicey。 Sam and the others caught up to her before 
we did; but she was dancing right along the line; and the whole coven was right there on the other side。 The 
big one; what’s…his…name —” 
    “Emmett。” 
    “Yeah; him。 He made a lunge for her; but that redhead is fast! He flew right behind her and almost 
rammed into Paul。 So; Paul 。 。 。 well; you know Paul。” 
    “Yeah。” 
    “Lost his focus。 Can’t say that I blame him — the big bloodsucker was right on top of him。 He sprang — 
hey; don’t give me that look。 The vampire was on our land。” 

    I tried to compose my face so that he would go on。 My nails were digging into my palms with the stress of 
the story; even though I knew it had turned out fine。 
    “Anyway; Paul missed; and the big one got back on his side。 But by then the; er; well the; uh; blonde 。 。 。” 
Jacob’s expression was a comical mix of disgust and unwilling admiration as he tried to come up with a word 
to describe Edward’s sister。 
    “Rosalie。” 
    “Whatever。 She got real territorial; so Sam and I fell back to get Paul’s flanks。 Then their leader and the 
other blond male —” 
    “Carlisle and Jasper。” 
    He gave me an exasperated look。 “You know I don’t really care。 Anyway; so Carlisle spoke to Sam; 
trying to calm things down。 Then it was weird; because everyone got really calm really fast。 It was that other 
one you told me about; messing with our heads。 But even
