This is my first Twilight peminat fiction. I started Penulisan it a bit after I read Eclipse. So it's set after that, and does not mesh with Breaking Dawn. Anyway, I got the idea while listening to the song Unchained Melody, hence the title, and started Penulisan it. I'm looking for a beta reader, btw! Feedback is much appreciated.

Unchained Melody
“Cold feet?” I heard his voice whisper into my ear. I would have jumped atau screamed if it wasn’t for the fact I seem to be in a catatonic state. I knew it was Jacob’s voice, but I couldn’t see him. Even if he were to walk up in front of my wide open eyes, I wouldn’t be able to see him. I was somewhere else; somewhere very far away.
I was three years ahead of this moment. I was three years away from Edward Cullen. I was three years broken. I was three years older. My body leaning against a giant serigala, wolf underneath the stars. My body was not cold and stone and my eyes weren’t black with thirst. I was me, Isabella Swan. It was a place where I never had to say goodbye to Charlie. It was a perfect place, except for the empty pain in my chest; La Push.
“Bella, are anda alright?”
I felt warm hands press against me, but I still couldn’t see anything. I couldn’t see Jacob Black, and that scared me. What was happening to me? Was I really dreaming?
“Snap out of it!” He growled, “Wake up, Bella!”
I stroked the wolf’s long, shaggy fur. While I was here, I decided to talk to him. “Jacob,” I berkata and the serigala, wolf looked up at me. “It’s going to be cold. It’s going to be very dark soon.”
He tilted his head in confusion, searching for the meaning of my words. I wanted to keep him at the moment and stay in this hallucination, dream, atau whatever it may be. “You see, Jacob,” I explained, “I have to lose my sun and my air. It would be selfish for me to stay here with you. It would be selfish to choose this path. I’ve caused so much pain, Jacob. I know anda have a shot at happiness. He doesn’t. I’m his only fate.” It was really hard explaining this to my possible future. “I have to go back now.”
The serigala, wolf got up from beneath me and slipped away from my body. He let out a deep, lonely howl. My hati, tengah-tengah shattered even more.
I felt the scene slipping away and my senses flooding back. “Jacob.” I mumbled.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“No.” I lied.
“You’re a terrible liar, Bella.” Jacob rolled his eyes. “Please, just tell me. I promise I wont --”
“Jake, I’m so afraid.” I confessed. My body started shaking as I remembered what brought me here.
“About what? Getting married?”
“No. Well, yes. But that’s not it. I’m afraid that one day...if my bad luck continues...something will happen to Edward. And who will stitch me up then? Who will save me?”
“Well, that’s dumb. Of course, I will.”
“Really. Do anda honestly think anda could still Cinta me?”
“What do anda mean? I’ll always --”
“...When I’m a vampire.” I said, reminding him of my fate.
His face grew serious. “It wont matter. anda know that. I don’t care how badly anda stink. I’ll hold you.” He wrapped his warms around me.
I shook my head. “How long will anda be mine?”
It was the wrong soalan to ask. It was cruel and thoughtless. This whole thing was wrong, though. I should be at the altar right now; Charlie walking me down the isle. I was almost there too. I was so close. Alice had just finished doing my hair when she walked out to check on things, when the fears attacked me. I was so afraid to be married, but there was something I was afraid of even more. Losing Jacob. I accepted the fact I had to say goodbye to him a long time ago...but I didn’t realize, until the hari of the wedding, that I could never go back. Never. Even if Edward left me atau if he died atau something happened, there would be no one to go back to.
I had walked out of the room and saw Jasper. He had telah diberi me a worried look. “Please,” I had begged him, “I need to go do something.”
That’s how I got here. Stranded in the forest. Somewhere between the Cullen’s and La Push. Jacob found me.
“I’ll always belong to you.” Jacob berkata carefully.
“Not when anda imprint. And it will happen anda know.”
“I doubt that.”
He didn’t deny that it would change things if he did, though. He knew just as well as I did that if he imprinted, he wouldn’t be able to save me when everything fell apart. And if I did choose him right now, he wouldn’t always be mine. Sooner atau later, I would become just like Leah. Edward was the safest choice after all. Of course this had nothing to do with safe.
“I need to get back to Alice.” I berkata finally. “She’s probably looking for me.”
“Bella, before anda do this,” Jacob grabbed my wrist and there was no point trying to break free. “I want anda to think about all you’re leaving behind. You’ll never see Charlie again. You’ll never see any of your family. And you’ll never have a real family. You’ll never have children. anda wont be able to do so much...And what if he accidentally kills you? Bella, anda will become a murderer. A blood thirsty monster. Is this what anda want?”
“But I’ll have him forever. And I Cinta him.” I berkata that as if it made all those other things meaningless.
“Sometimes Cinta isn’t enough.”
