This is my first Twilight fan fiction. I started escritura 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 escritura 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 o 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 lobo 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 tu 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 dicho and the lobo 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, o 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 tu 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 lobo got up from beneath me and slipped away from my body. He let out a deep, lonely howl. My corazón 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 tu honestly think tu could still amor me?”
“What do tu mean? I’ll always --”
“...When I’m a vampire.” I said, reminding him of my fate.
His face grew serious. “It wont matter. tu know that. I don’t care how badly tu stink. I’ll hold you.” He wrapped his warms around me.
I shook my head. “How long will tu be mine?”
It was the wrong pregunta 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 día of the wedding, that I could never go back. Never. Even if Edward left me o if he died o something happened, there would be no one to go back to.
I had walked out of the room and saw Jasper. He had dado 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 dicho carefully.
“Not when tu imprint. And it will happen tu 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 o 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 dicho finally. “She’s probably looking for me.”
“Bella, before tu do this,” Jacob grabbed my wrist and there was no point trying to break free. “I want tu 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. tu wont be able to do so much...And what if he accidentally kills you? Bella, tu will become a murderer. A blood thirsty monster. Is this what tu want?”
“But I’ll have him forever. And I amor him.” I dicho that as if it made all those other things meaningless.
“Sometimes amor isn’t enough.”

Let me start off por saying that I think Dakota Fanning is a fabulous actress. That being dicho here are my reason why I don't think she would make the best Jane. Their are a bunch a little problems and one big problem with her playing Jane. The big problem for me is her age. Dakota Fanning was born on Febuary 23 1994. That would put her at 15 years old when she starts filming in March. Thats only 4 years younger the Kristen(Bella) who was born in 1990 and only 2 years younger the Taylor(jacob) who was born in 1992. Jane is ONLY surpost be 12-13 years old and NO WHERE near Bella's age.
