New Moon and beyond, Jacob’s story!
Hi and welcome to Discussions with Annie!
Well we’re almost there. Just 30 days to go and time to remember what New Moon was all about and why Taylor Lautner’s Jacob Black carries the burden in this first sequel of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga.
Once upon a time not so very long ago…
…a young Native American Quileute boy named Jacob Black met daughter of police chief Charlie Swan. He was just fifteen years old. As soon as he saw her he was smitten and a crush developed that would change his life beyond recognition.
Jacob was a happy teenager and now that Bella was on his mind he bugged his father Billy to visit the chief’s house so he could see her. She was beautiful, they got along and everything was perfect.
Until she met him!…
Bella Swan fell in love with vampire Edward Cullen and drifted away from him like the remnants of a dream at dawn. Months passed and Jacob got on with his life. He grew taller, he went to school, he swam at La Push beach with his friends and he thought about Bella. Always he thought about Bella.
Then one day he heard that the vampire Cullens left town and the Quileute tribe celebrated. He waited, and waited. And then out of the blue…
Bella came back to him. But she was not the way he remembered her. She was pale and thin and very broken. Jacob had been feeling angry lately for no reason and just seeing her like this made him want to rip something or someone (he amended) apart. But as he walked out to her she smiled at him and sunshine filled his heart and he just picked her up and swung her round.
To Bella, Jacob had grown even taller, he looked like a man now at just sixteen and he was beautiful. When she was with Jacob, sunshine began to pierce the frozen depths of her heart and life seemed bearable again.
From that moment on they were together and the friendship grew and grew and for Jacob, blossomed into love. Loving Bella was instinctive, he knew her somehow, knew what to say, what made her laugh, what made her hug him, (which was really cool for him) and to never ever mention Edward Cullen’s name. I guess he knew that she loved him but he didn’t want to face that because he hoped, if he was patient, very very patient, that she would forget or maybe put aside that love and love him instead. Yes!…above all, Jacob Black hoped Bella Swan would love him.
Bella was accident prone and courted danger which worried him. There was something he was missing, something significant. Then one evening while they were out with that moron Mike Newton something happened. Feeling unwell he left her early, something he wouldn’t normally do and changed beyond possibility. Jacob Black became a werewolf.
His father tried to help him but in the end it was older Quileute boy Sam Uley who steered him through the worst and introduced him to his childhood friends as they really are. Sam Uley, Embry Call, Quil Ateara, Jared and even that hothead Paul were all werewolves. It seemed they all loved what they were except him. For him it meant being away from is love Bella. Forbidden to tell her by Alpha male Sam, Jacob was in torment.
Bella, lost without her sunshine tried again and again to see him and when she finally did he was angry, different and distant. But all was not lost and as with love, Jacob found a way to make her understand and they were friends again. Jacob felt that although the cliff dive Bella stupidly undertook on her own was terrifying, it may have been a turning point for them. Bella and Jacob were now at that crossroads where you make a choice and commit. So close was Jacob to achieving his goal that an actual physical turning of the head to a kiss was all it would take to capture that dream.
Then she came back… Alice, Edward Cullen’s sister and ruined everything.
Jacob was angry, incensed in fact and got out of the truck and walked into the night, the pain of rejection bitter on his tongue and raging in his heart.
Believing she was dead Edward intended exposing the volturi to incite them to execute him and end his suffering. Alice had other plans and without a thought for Jacob, Bella raced with Alice to save Edward in Italy. Jacob had turned up at her door that night to see if she was alive (an excuse of course) but he fell apart when he realised she would go to Edward after all they had been to each other. He begged her to stay but she left anyway.
Life went painfully on for Jacob until a contrived situation led to a kiss. With Bella finally in his arms he forced her to see what her heart denied. She loved him too. But nearly being killed by the newborns didn’t bring Bella to him. She would always love Edward the most. Could life suck any more?
Time passed and Bella and Edward were getting married, the evidence of which lay on the kitchen table. A hand written invitation. As if!
Being a wolf was all he had now and he ran and ran into oblivion, until scent and sound and the earth flying by beneath his paws was all that sustained him. Living on instinct alone he searched for peace. But as surely as a beaten pup still loves his master, Jacob returned to the girl he loved to dance with her on her wedding day.
He learned that Edward intended to sleep with his still human bride on their wedding night, the potential to kill her evident. Jacob, enraged by that fact nearly lost control whilst holding Bella and had to be restrained. With all his strength and control he reigned in his rage. Edward thinking Bella in danger pulled her away like lightning. A standoff ensued and time passed again.
He then learned she was pregnant. To be buried alive in molten lava would be more tolerable. Would this cruelty never end?. But there was an end of sorts for Jacob.
Thinking the child had killed his beloved Bella in childbirth he went to rip it apart only to look into the most beautiful face on earth. 
The bonds that so cruelly bound him to Bella fell away and the love that fuelled his pain for so long simply ceased to be. Released as he was from his emotional burden he felt light and heady. Relief flooded through him and with it a new bond bound him. But this one was different, this one felt like it fit.
Jacob imprinted on the child Renesmee and his future path was set. Now, for the rest of his life, without hesitation, without any thought for his own safety, he instinctively knew he would protect her for all of hers. And in that tiny perfect face he finally felt at peace.
Looking down at the child in his arms, he watched her little mouth curl up into a smile and her chubby arms reach for him. Jacob Black had found the true purpose of his bond with Bella Swan and this time the object of his affections loved him back.
The storyline is from the Stephenie Meyer novels The Twilight Saga 1-4 but the words are mine. Hope you liked it.

Hi Callie,
If your reading the books then I won’t tell you. Enjoy the sweet agony of young love with some supernatural beings thrown in. Then go see the movie and see if they did a good job. Enjoy.
