Forbidden {Jacob} Fruit {Black} [10]: Threaten

---Jacob Black---

I pretended to be asleep. I had come over to her house the night before just to hang out and we fell asleep on the living room couch watching Transporter 2.

I felt her finger trace my face very softly and a few seconds later I felt her warm breath on my face. My heart raced as I knew what was going to happen.

For a split of a second I felt her soft and tendered lips on mine, but it was only for a split second because then… I felt empty. I opened my eyes and Kendra wasn’t on the bed anymore, she was standing up. Her hands on her neck like someone had been choking her. Her eyes full of fear.

“Kenny?” I said she didn’t look at me.

“Just go Jacob.” She whispered so low it was almost inaudible.

I stood from the couch and walked over to her. She took steps back away from me. It hurt.

“What’s going on?”

“Just leave, Jake, it’s better for the both of us if you just leave.” She hissed at me.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Was she bipolar or something? One second she has her lips on mine and the next she’s telling me to leave.

“Something happened, what is it?”

“Jacob,” She crossed her arms and then with one finger she pointed at the door. “Please leave before I make you leave!” Her voice held determination and I didn’t want to make her cry.

“Fine.” I snapped and stomped out of her house. Before I slammed her door, I swear I heard a sob, but I ignored it and got in my rabbit and went home and got ready for the big fight today.

---Kendra Connor---

For the few seconds I had his lips on mine I felt so happy, that was until…

“Aw, how sweet.” I broke the kiss and looked up and saw Damien leaning over the head of the couch looking down at me and Jacob. I looked back to Jake and he was frozen, it was one of his powers, to freeze time.

I unhooked Jacob’s arm off of me and stood up.

“What are you doing here?” I hissed venomously at him.

He feigned a hurt look and pouted.

“Are you really going to keep talking to me like that?” The next thing I know he has me in a choke hold with one of his hand, he wasn’t ‘choking’ me but he kept me in place. I was trying to dissolve but I couldn’t because of the fear running through me. “You know I don’t like it when you talk to me like that, love.” He forced his lips on mine. He slammed our bodies together and I gasped as he took the air out of me and he took the chance to shove his tongue down my mouth. He pulled out. “He’s never going to replace me, Kenny.”

“Why do you care?!”

“I still love you, Ken, and if I see you with him again it’s going to be his life.”

I scoffed at his lame attempt to threaten me.

“A.) you don’t love me. B.) you stay the fuck away from him.”

He grinned. “Believe it or not, I want you back Kenny and I’m willing to do absolutely anything to clear everyone out of my way.”

“You won’t have me ever again, Damien.” I assured with a smirk.

“Oh really?” He whispered right next to my ear. I felt his hot breath on my neck and he nibbled on my weak spot he had memorized and a moan escaped my lips, I hadn’t felt that in a long time. “See? I know everything about you. I know your weaknesses.” He remained at my neck until I started to push him away.

“S-stop.” I stuttered. “Let me go.”

“No! You will be mine again Ken; it’s only matter of time. So, if you want to keep your doggie friends safe, I suggest you stay away from them, especially this one.” He nudged his head down to Jake, still frozen on the couch.

Finally, the fear of me being hurt was gone was replaced with the fear of Jacob being hurt and it gave me the strength to sent him across the room and into the other den across the hall.

He dusted himself off as he stood and smirked and shimmered away. Jacob then was unfrozen and I with all the pain in me I had to sent him away. He couldn’t be anywhere near me because I knew Damien would keep his promise.

Jacob had no fucking chance against Damien, he was a high class demon and Jacob was merely a shape-shifter with no powers whatsoever. If it ever came down between them Jacob would lose and I would definitely blame myself.

Plus, I wasn’t even sure he still liked Bella, but I guess he still is because… I don’t know exactly how, but, he just met me and he has known Bella most of his life.

The bad thing about the whole fight with Jacob is that I still have to see him after this. I had to be with Bella as they did the fake scent. This meant I would be in the same place with Jacob.

---Time Lapse---

“Will this help?” Bella asked but I was in a whole different world thinking about Damien’s threats, right now I was so freaking thankful to the universe that Edward couldn’t read my mind.

“Ken!” Edward waved his hand in my face and I blinked and stood straighter and stopped biting my nails.

“Uh-what?” My blanked out face was gone. I looked at Bella and caught up. “Oh, yeah, that’s fine; it’ll leave a stronger scent, just not much that it’s too suspicious.” My voice still sounded dazed.

“What’s bothering you?” Edward asked with a worried look.

“Nothing.” I lied in a long sigh. I shoved my hands in the big jacket, it was freezing, and gosh I missed the sun!

“I may not be able to read your mind but your face is so readable it should be an open book.” He retorted.

“It’s nothing, really, just Wicca stuff, that has nothing to do with Bella.” I assured with a bit of an annoyance.

“If I asked you to be my maid of honor will you cheer up?” Bella smiled sweetly at me.

I scoffed and gave her a sympathetic look. “As much as I’d love to be in your wedding… after this I have to go back to Santa Cruz and finish some business I have there.” I was talking about the goddess of war, Mars.

“Please don’t make me go through this by myself.” Bella linked arms with me.

I sighed. “This is why they warn us not to get emotionally attached to our innocents. Fine, I’ll be at your wedding, but not as maid of honor, I think Alice might be hurt if you do, I just rather be the special guest or something.”

“Deal.” She grinned.

“Can you run fast now?” Edward was talking about the potion I made so I could be as fast and as strong as a vampire so I would be able to help, but the potion only lasted twenty-four hours.

“Der, loser.” I teased trying to lighten the mood.

We ran for a little while and stopped. Bella left another trail and then Jacob came from the shadows and in his hands a jacket. I avoided his gaze, as always and I tried to seem comfortable, but I could tell Edward heard Jacob’s thought about me kicking him out right before kissing him and he had a look that said he understood something.

“Hi Kendra.” Jacob mumbled tiredly.

“Hey.” I answered back shortly and quick.

“So, where am I taking her?” Jacob spoke of Bella. Edward explained where through the map. Edward offered Jacob the map but Jake refused.

“Kendra and I will be taking the longer route and we’ll see you in a few hours.” Edward said.

“Will… you be carrying Kendra?” Jacob almost choked at my name.

“No, she’s capable of handling herself, plus she’s got a power boost.” Edward grinned at me and I smiled back.

“See you.” Bella murmured to Edward.

Before Jacob could even think of saying something Edward and I went in their opposite direction and faded into the trees.

Edward was right on my tail.

“Ken, wait, we need to talk.” Edward took hold of my elbow and stopped me.

“I don’t want to talk, Ed, I just want to get this over with so I can go back to my cynical self and kick demon ass instead of confusing myself with these feelings, okay?!”

“You like Jacob.” He stated.

“No! I mean… I really have no idea because at times… I would think about him, but then some other choices would come into play and he doesn’t seem important anymore or I try to make myself believe he isn’t afraid of what I really feel for him and then I’ll just end up getting hurt in the end, because I always do and I don’t want to be hurt again, Ed, I don’t want to feel like I’ve got nowhere to be and have this hole in my chest and that every time I take a single breath feel like my chest is getting smaller and smaller and harder to breathe!” By the time I was finished my cheeks were rosy red and my nose red.

Edward pulled me into a hug.

He spoke after a couple of seconds.

“You have no idea how hard it is to hug you.”

“Why?” I asked and sniffled.

“Well, for one, you smell like a wet dog”—I punched him and I could tell it hurt a little and I apologized—“and two, your blood is not like any other I’ve ever smelled before. I mean, it’s human but then at the same time it isn’t and the other smell is almost… angelic it smells so good it’s hard describe.”

“Thanks?” I wasn’t sure what to say to a vampire who says ‘You smell good’.

He chuckled.

“He’s confused, you know.”

I cocked an eyebrow. “Who?”

“Well, actually you have four boys after you.”

I scoffed. “As if, name them.”

“One, Brian, obviously, two Embry Call, three Emmett, yes he’s been having trouble with Rosalie because of it and it’s annoying about his little ‘fantasies’ about you and him.”

“Weird, Emmett really? I always thought he sort of disliked me because he’s always teasing me and shit.”

“That’s just Emmett saying ‘I want you’.” He and I laughed.

“I don’t want to cause any problems in his marriage.” I shook my head.

“Don’t worry, Rosalie will probably tell him to get it over with and then they’ll get back together break tons of houses.” He scrunched his nose and I laughed weakly.

“Wait, what do you mean by ‘get it over with’?”

“It’s not obvious enough?” I shook my head. “Get over his fantasy with you, so he’ll ‘charm’ you or try to and get over his fantasy and get back with Rose.”

We started walking a bit fast but it seemed to us like it was normal speed.

“I could do that. I’ve always wondered how good you vampires are in bed, since you’ve had so much practice; I mean demons are one—oops sharing too much.” I sang and blushed. “So, who’s the fourth?”

“Jacob.”

“Nah, he’s like obsessed with your chick.”

“Yes and no. You’re confusing him, Ken.”

I shrugged. “It’s not like it matters because I’ll never see him again, anyways.”

We reached the ‘safe zone’ for Bella. We set up the tent.

“So, while Jacob was with us, he thought about you almost kissing him and then ‘going bipolar’ and kicking him out of your house. Care to elaborate?” He grinned.

“He came over and we ended up sleeping together on the couch.”

I remained quiet thinking I was done but then he gave me a look.

“Yes, I was about to kiss him, but then had seconds thoughts and came to my senses and I didn’t kiss him.” I lied.

“Why do you deny yourself of being loved?”

“Ugh! Do I have to carry a freaking poster saying ‘I was used by a demon to get closer to my family so he could kill them’?!”

He blinked in understanding. “Um, sorry. I apologize.”

“It’s okay, I guess you didn’t know.”

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“Um, I don’t want to be some kind of burden.”

“Not at all. Sometimes it’s good to talk about things with someone.”

I thought for a second. “Okay, but only if you tell me exactly why you left Bella for six months.”

“Sure.”

“I’ll go first. Two years ago it was an ordinary vanquish. It was a lower class demon trying to kill me…”
