Bella POV
"Well, Bella, what an unexpected surprise…" Laurent purred in his pleasant voice as he sauntered towards me across the field.
"Laurent!" I quickly walked towards him, initially so pleased by the appearance of another vampire that I failed to notice his rapidly darkening crimson eyes.
"It's so nice to see you again, I am surprised that it was so easy to find you"
"W-why would you want to find me?" I choked out in alarm as I saw his pitch black eyes.
"Well Bella, I'm here as a personal favor to Victoria…" and with that, Laurent closed the distance between us in one stride.
I felt my body lifted off the ground as his iron strength arms crushed my own into my ribs, splintering my body under his power. I screamed out in pain as my body broke and a sharp pain sliced at my neck. I was going to die and I knew it now. As soon as I became aware of this, Edwards face burst into my mind, a perfect replica of his immense beauty. I felt my mind start to become hazy as a firey burn started to spread from my neck. I felt a shock of air whooshing past my face as I was thrown to the ground, and knew it was over.
Opening my eyes to look around through the bewildering pain that was spreading through my neck, I yelled out in shock as I saw Laurent retreating slowly from my body. Walking towards us, were five great wolves the size of bears. A russet brown wolf with familiar black eyes pounced forward snapping at Laurent who turn tail and ran swiftly at a vampire speed away from the clearing. Blurrily, I saw four wolves follow suit after Laurent, before familiar warm hands scooped me off the ground.
"Bella! Oh no, Bella no!" Jacobs voice was filled with terror as I began to thrash in pain in my best friends arms.
"Bella…I am so sorry Bella, I am so sorry we couldn't save you."
My answering screams were all I could reply as my body was charred from the inside out with the tongues of fire that licked up and down my body.
I felt myself being lifted and restrained in Jacobs arms as he ran off with me, running at a fast pace through the darkness.
"Jacob." I felt Jacob come to a sudden stop as Sam stepped into his path.
"She must be destroyed Jacob. She cannot be allowed to live."
"Sam…this isn't the same thing. We can't just kill her."
"Jacob. She is now one of our mortal enemies, I am sorry but I will not have a newborn vampire near Forks or La Push."
The burning in my body raged on as I realized I was going to die anyway. My fear mounted to a new level as the fire intensified is rampage of burning pain inside my body and all went black.
Jacob POV:
The pack was on the move, we had just picked up the scent of a bloodsucker and we were all thirsty for a good fight. It wasn't until we had been running for about seven miles that we crossed Bella's scent with the leech.
Sam do you smell that? I thought to my brothers.
It smells like Bella…and it looks like the leech started following her path. We should follow it and hurry, it might be too late. Sam was visualizing bella, pale and peaceful in death, strewn across the ground.
I quickened my pace, digging my claws deep into the mossy earth so that I could throw myself forward at a faster pace. And then I heard it. Bella screamed out in pain from the clearing up ahead. I raced forward, and without waiting for Sam's instructions, launched myself at the filthy bloodsucker that had his mouth pressed against the throat of the girl I loved. I snapped at him and he took off running, throwing Bella aside in a heap on the ground. Sam, Jared, Embry and Paul all charged ahead perusing the goddamned leech, but I stayed.
I could smell the blood from Bella's ravaged throat, it soaked down her shirt gently as she gasped and cried out in pain. I phased back into my human form and scooped her up off the ground.
"Bella! Oh no, Bella no!" Bella's body was clearly broken, many of her bones clearly crushed by the damned leech. She screamed out in pain as the venom I could smell in her blood coursed through her body, beginning the transformation into my enemy.
"Bella…I am so sorry Bella, I am so sorry we couldn't save you."
She seemed beyond understanding of my words as her screams pierced the night air in agonizing pain. I briefly thought about what this meant before realizing she couldn't stay here. The pack would kill her for her transformation and I could not bear to let that happen. I ran off with her wrapped tightly in my arms, through the forest. About three miles later a massive shape appeared in my path, cutting me off and bringing me to an instant stop. Bella thrashed in my arms even harder, clenching her teeth on my arm in her anguish. I winced as she bit me but ignored it, keeping my eyes on Sam.
"Jacob." Sam surveyed Bella's body as she struggled against my arms in torment.
"She must be destroyed Jacob. She cannot be allowed to live."
"Sam…this isn't the same thing. We can't just kill her." Fear prickled through my body as I speculated what Sam might order me to do.
"Jacob. She is now one of our mortal enemies, I am sorry but I will not have a newborn vampire near Forks or La Push."
Bella's body went limp in my arms, and I looked down in alarm. I lowered her still, wilted and broken body to the ground and quickly checked her pulse at her neck. Her heart was fluttering rapidly as her chest rose and fell in shallow, pained breaths. I occurred to me that she had passed out from the immense pain of the bloodsuckers venom destroying her system, changing her into one of the damned. I looked back up at Sam, pleading in my eyes.
"Sam. This is NOT the same. I won't kill her and I won't let her be killed."
Sam surveyed me for a moment, taking in the still figure of Bella before looking intently into my eyes. I don't know what he saw there, but he must have seen the fear and utter torture in my eyes that was pounding through my body in rhythm with my horrified heart.
"Take her far Jacob. Far into the woods several states away, and away from any people. You are to leave her there and never return. Make it clear to her that should she attack a human anywhere near Forks or La Push or return, the pack will kill her. And Jacob, no matter how much it hurts, you are never to seek her out or see her again, do you understand?"
Sam looked at me warily, searching for signs that I would disobey his command, but I simply nodded and took off, carrying Bella's limp and destroyed body through the forest away from Sam. I ran for hours on end, embracing the distraction from the horrific circumstances that had befallen my best friend. The manual action of running physically exhausted me but I pushed myself, focusing on my physical exertion rather than thoughts of leaving Bella forever in some strange land.
Eventually, I could run no longer. I gasped as I slowed to a stop, panting heavily as I lowered her body gently to the ground. I could already see some changes in her physique. Bella's hair had grown darker, now a dark chocolate brown rather than a milk chocolate color. Her hair had soft waves in it that weren't there before, and it had lengthened down from just a little past her shoulders, to her mid back. Her skin was still warm but had grown stiffer, feeling more and more like the granite I knew she would soon be.
My heart throbbed in pain as I looked at her still form. Occasionally she would moan in pain but I knew she was still too unconscious to suffer much from the burning. We were in the Middle of Yukon Territory in Canada. It was the most unpopulated territory, only having 33,100 people in the vast expanse of land, and holding lots of bears, moose, and feline predators. I knew it was as good a place as any to leave her. We were about 400 miles from the nearest human.
I kneeled next to the girl I loved so much, as she screamed out again in anguish.
"Bella, I am so sorry." I felt the stinging salty tears prick my eyes, making my vision blurry. They cascaded down my cheeks, dripping softly onto Bella's body. She started to writhe in pain again, and I started to lose my resolution to leave her. I pulled a small piece of paper from my pant pocket and a pen, and started to write her the letter that would say my goodbye forever…Bella Swan had to be dead to me now whether I was ready for it or not.
