Here's a sample of a oneshot that I wrote for the contest. I'm hoping to post it soon, just need to get a beta on board first.
The Invitation by PurelyamuseSummary: Instead of running away after getting the wedding invitation, Jacob confronts Bella about it. In a heartbreaking moment the truth of his feelings come out, and he extends an invitation of his own. Jacob/Bella.
I howl my warning as I cross the last stretch of trees and phase just as I hit the edge of the woods, walking the rest of the way, completely naked and too pissed off to care.
“Bella!” I shout from below her window, clutching the invitation in my hand. I hear a scuffle, and a curtain moves. “I’m coming up!” Without preamble I leap into her tree and make quick work of the branches. The window lifts, and there’s a sudden gasp behind it. “Move,” I command, then quickly jump into the room. I land in a crouch, then stand to full height.
The little one with the black hair is looking me straight in the eye. She’s glaring. “Get out!” I huff, my jaw clenching with my rage.
“I’m not leaving Bella here with you.”
“You won’t have a choice when I rip your head from your body. Now. Get. Out!”
The little one turns to Bella, who looks flushed and is holding onto her belly, her pale hand grasping bright white satin. I narrow my eyes as I realize she’s wearing her wedding dress. Perfect. I bare my teeth and growl on instinct, unable to control myself.
“I’ll stay if you want me to stay.”
“Tell her to get out, or I’m gonna drop kick her head from the window and send her limbs soaring after it.”
“You don’t have to be so-“
“Get the hell out! Now!” I lunge towards her, and she moves quick but not quick enough. I’ve got her by the arm. It’s tweaked against her back, and I know if I twist it just so it’ll pop out, and I can send it out the window. This wolf stuff is so easy when you don’t fight it.
“Ow, geez, Jake, you-“
