Caitlin's POV.

I hear Jacob enter the house. He doesn't seem to see me curled up in the corner until he hears more of my sobs. His head snaps in my direction and he rushes to me and tried to comfort me. I push him away from me and shake my head. Preparing yourself to reject the person you were just starting to love? That will never get easy. Not in a million years.

"J-Jacob... I can't... I can't do this..." I whisper hoarsely.

"Do what?" He asks, kneeling in front of me as I wrap my arms around my legs in front of me.

"I... I can't be your imprint." I say softly, feeling the pain in my heart, and the sting of tears.

"What? Why not?" He asks bewildered, thinking it was unusual. I couldn't tell him the truth. Jones would surely kill Wendy even if I go with him. This, this is the hardest thing I'll ever have to do. Lie to the love of my life.

"I don't... I don't love you... Jacob. I can't... I can't love you." I say, staring into his eyes as I watch his heart break at my words. "I reject you... Jacob Black."

"Caitlin..." He whimpers but I simply shake my head, getting up and pushing him out the door before locking it shut.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." I sob, sliding down the door as I hear Jacob pound on it. I had 3 hours before Jones returned to see my decision. Of course he said I would leave tomorrow, but since I've already rejected Jacob, I can't stay here for long. Sam is gonna come and ask questions. Same with all of the Cullen's, Bella, Wendy, and Erin. "I can't let him harm her..." I whisper.

I flash throughout my house, packing up all of my clothes, shoes, jackets, photos, portraits, everything really. I would keep this house, but would only be permitted to use it only after Jacob is gone, so that Jones knows I won't leave him. I cry silently as I hear the Cullen's knocking on every door that leads into my house, I could even hear Emmet try to get in the chimney. My home was werewolf and vampire proof. No one could break the windows, doors, or enter the home without my approval. After an hour they gave up and went home. Next was Sam and some of the pack. They tried coaxing me out for the first 15 minutes, then tried to break the windows or doors with their human forms for the next 15, then tried with their wolf forms for the third set of 15 minutes, then they tried to beg me to come out and explain it to them. They gave up after that hour. The last ones were Bella, trying to coax me out and ask advise and other things she knew would possibly work. They didn't. She gave up halfway through the last hour. Wendy and Erin tried their hardest to get me outside. Finally Wendy had enough after 20 minutes, and used her spare key and yelled at me to tell her what was going on.

"Caitlin! Explain to us why you packed up the whole house, and why you rejected Jacob! I thought you were starting to fall in love with him!" Wendy pleaded with me as Erin locks the doors so we had some privacy.

"Jones. He... He threatened to kill you if I didn't reject Jacob, and go and be Jones' mate. I can't let harm come to you. He even took the photo of you, Dominic and me, the one that Dominic's blood is stained upon." I whisper out, feeling Wendy's gaze soften. "I have to go. Jones will take me to Italy tomorrow, but he'll be here any minute to see my decision. I don't want you here when he arrives."

"Okay... We'll leave. Just know that we love you, and we will find a way to get you back." Wendy says, grabbing my hand in hers before hugging me. Erin nods to me before flashing away with Wendy. Just as they made it out of sight, Jones appears in front of me.

"They truly care for you." He says emotionlessly, looking at the direction they disappeared to. He looked back to me. "That won't change the fact your mine, though. Now, tell me, what have you decided?"

"I rejected him." I tell him, looking into his red eyes as he smirks. "I... I will leave with you tomorrow." I hesitate, thoughts were entering my head. All of which are of Edward, Bella and Jacob. Bella pleading with Jacob to think something over, while Jacob keeps denying. Edward was sending these thoughts to me, showing me what was happening.

"He says he can't live without you. Are you prepared for Jacob to die, due to your rejection?" Edward asks from inside my head.

"I..." I try to think of a response. "I can't love him."

"That's a lie, we both know you've started to fall in love with him. What's the real reason you rejected him? Was it because he loved Bella first?" Edward asks. I see him in the pitch black around my mind. I was transported here so we may 'talk' in private.

"Edward. Promise me you won't tell him." I plead. Edward nods slowly.

"I promise I won't tell Jacob." Edward says softly.

"Jones. He threatened Wendy's life if I didn't reject Jacob and go with him, and be his mate." I tell him.

"He can't do that. You are Jacob's imprint and mate. He can't just take you from that because he is delusional and thinks your his." Edward snaps.

"I have to go. Jones is in my house right now. We were talking before you gave me those thoughts." I say as I feel Jones try to get my attention.

"Caitlin. Jacob wants to die during the Newborn fight." Edward pleads. "You have to tell him what's happening. He has a right to know."

"And what if Jones decides to hurt Wendy if I tell Jacob? What if, even if I go with him, he kills her?" I shake my head, feeling tears coming. "I can't let that happen. Not to Bella, not to Erin. Bella may not know it, but she is Wendy's fifth great granddaughter. If Wendy is killed before Bella knows this, then she will be heartbroken when you tell her."

"What if I tell her now? What if we find a way to protect Wendy and get rid of Jones once and for all? Then will you go back with Jacob?" Edward rants.

"Edward. Help Jacob find a new love. I'll only cause him pain."

"He can't. He only gets one imprint, remember?" Edward sneers.

"Jacob... Can have another imprint since I rejected him."

"How is that possible?" Edward asks in disbelief.

"I'm a Legend." I shrug. "If we reject our imprint, they get a new love. A new soulmate."

"Caitlin!" I hear someone yell, banging on the front door. Jones wraps his arms around me, protective and possessively. "Open the door! I need you! I can't live without you! Please! Just... Just tell me what I did wrong."

"Jacob. You need to leave." I say after opening the door, leaving Jones in the other room. "It's for your own safety."

"I don't care for my safety!" He snaps. "All I care about is why you rejected me. What did I do wrong?" He says softly, obviously hurt.

"I will only cause pain to you, Jacob. You have to leave before this gets too painful for the both of us." I state, pushing him out the door again, feeling my heart constrict with pain.

"What did I do wrong?" He asks, pain clearly in his voice. "Was I too... Loving? Was I not enough? Why did you reject me?"

"Jacob. I'm trying to protect you, Bella and Wendy. Please. Go." I plead, hearing Jones walk closer to us. "You have to go."

"Not till you tell me why." He says strongly. I have to lie. I can't tell him that it was either him and Wendy's death, or a painful eternity without him but Wendy lives.

"Go back to Bella. I know you still love her." I choke out. He freezes. He knew I never hated Bella. He knew I have never held him against the fact he loved her first. He knew that I didn't care who he loved first.

"Caitlin..." He whimpered, sounding like a kicked puppy.

"I think it's time you go. Mutt." Jones growls out, coming behind me and wrapping his arm around my waist. I have to act strong. He can't know.

"Who the hell asked you?! Who the hell are you anyways?!" Jacob yells angrily. I can see him start shaking, and I can feel the pain in my heart, and the tears start to form.

"I'm her mate." Jones smirks, pulling me closer to him. I stare off into the woods, praying Jacob will leave before it gets too painful. Before Jones decides to kill Jacob and Wendy even if I go. "Now run off, pup."

Jacob snaps his head to me. Trying to look in my eyes to see if it was true. He wasn't prepared for a Legend imprint, so he doesn't know if I could have an imprint and a mate as two separate people. Jacob couldn't look into my eyes, so he ran off into the woods. Moments later I can hear his pain-filled howl. I start to whimper as the pain starts to crush my heart.

"Come, let's get you inside." He whispers to me. He picks me up and carries me to my room, setting me down on my red bed. "We'll leave tomorrow. Now rest, love."

"Go away Jones..." I whimper, curling up in the fetish position so I can try to soothe the pain in my heart. "You say I'm your mate? Then why does it hurt so much being around you? Why do you threaten those I love?"

"I should be the only one you love. Your sister should have died long ago. I'm you mate, not that mutt." He hisses. "If you truly want your family, I'll let you go fight with them against the newborns. But then we leave and you lose contact with them."

I sob as he leaves the room. I clutch my hands against where my heart was hurting. I have only a few days left before the fight. I spend the rest of the night staring out my window, right into the woods where I know Jacob is staring right back. I cover my mouth with a hand, silently sobbing as I could focus on his eyes, seeing them darken from hurt and sadness.

"Forgive... Me..." I whimper before I fall asleep.
