Chapter 2
Sam POV
I was getting ready to start the pack meeting when the phone rang. What I heard on the on other end shocked us all.
"Hello, this is Sam Uley speaking." I said
"Hello Sam, this is Carlisle Cullen. I'm calling because we need your assistance with my son Edward and Bella." Carlisle said in a shaky voice. I stared back at the pack making eye contact with Jake when I heard Bella's name. I wondered what happen to cause them to need our help.
"Ok meet us at the treaty line and tell us the everything we need to know." I told Carlisle calmly. I heard muffed noises in the background which made me more curious.
"We'll be there in 10 minutes and we will have to bring Bella so I keep an eye on her." Carlisle said fearfully.
This made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Why would Carlisle need to keep an on her? Did they accidently break the treaty and turn Bella? I looked at the pack and it seems they were thinking the same thing.
"Alright see you in 10 minutes." I told Carlisle and hung up.
I turned the guys trying to judge their reaction because I know they heard the conversation with Dr. Cullen. "Ok let's get a move and find out what the hell they did." I said to the guys.
Other POV
The La Push pack ran out Sam's back door and phased. They were rushing to the treaty line to fine what the Cullen's wanted. The pack knew there was something wrong because there would be no need of their help unless a human was in trouble. That 'human' just happened to be Bella who is loved the soon-to-be alpha of the pack. Even though Jacob never imprinted on Bella, she was still considered part of the pack.
"He better not have hurt her again….shit" Jacob thought. This grabbed the attention of the pack. "What do you mean hurt again, Jacob?" Sam commanded after they phased back. The pack came to a halt awaiting Jacob response. Sam decided to let it go for now because they were at the treaty line. This however didn't go un-noticed by the Cullen's.
Jacob POV
Man, I knew I would some explaining to do later. I just hope the leeches didn't hear what Sam just said. Of course the stupid bloodsuckers just couldn't ignore what they heard.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HURT AGAIN?" the pixie screamed. I swear that screeching is going to make my ears bleed. Ok focus how the hell do I answer this. "Oh...um…I kind of seen some bruises on Bella's arms a couple weeks ago." I shrugged my shoulders nervously. What in the fuckin' world did this have to do the current situation? My thoughts were once again interrupted by the pixie screaming.
"YOU KNEW!" Alice yelled.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LEECH?" I yelled back. That's when I noticed a small girl being gently lowered to the ground. I couldn't believe my eyes that was Bella, MY BELLA! I know I seen the bruises once but she would of came to me if she was in trouble right. I asked her and she told me she fell. It's not that hard to believe that she did; I mean come on Bella is the only girl I know that can trip on air.
**FLASHBACK**
Bella came walking into the garage while Jacob was working the rabbit. Bella was moving slower than usual and had some bruising on her arms."Hey Bella, you okay?" Jacob asked. Bella looks up with fear in her eyes and shrugs her shoulders as if she doesn't care. "Nothing…"Bella mumbles. Jacob shakes his head at her. "It isn't nothing Bella…come on tell me what happened." Jacob said.
Bella felt like she was being boxed in with no place to hide. Bella hated lying but she knew it would worse if she didn't. Luckily she was getting good at this so Bella didn't have others questioning her. "I tripped on my rug in my room and hit my foot board. You know me and my clumsiness." Bella replied with a chuckle.
**END OF FLASHBACK**
"Why is Bella covered in bruises? Who hurt her? Is this…" Sam trailed off. I looked at Sam as he was processing what I said. "Okay Dr. Fang, what the hell is going on?" I shouted. Sam glared at me for the nickname I gave the vamp leader. I shrugged my shoulders and turned back to the doc.
Paul POV
I was not thrilled to have my day off of patrol screwed up by not only the vamps but leech-lover Bella Swan. I swear sometime I think she more trouble than she is worth. So here we are at the treaty line getting ready for the vamps when Jacob said something that not only caught Sam's attention but bloodsuckers as well. Jacob seriously needs to keep his mouth shut before he causes more trouble. That's when I seen what I assumed to be the leader gently put down this small framed girl. I could tell she was hurt as I glanced over at her body. For some reason this pissed me off. Sure I've met her when she confronted us about making Jacob part of so called 'gang', she even slapped me which lead to her finding out Jacob and the rest of the guys are wolves. I've always ragged on her and calling her 'leech-lover' yet it never fazed her. Why do I feel this pull to her now? As my thought continued I couldn't suppress my growl any longer as I gazed back at the tiny form on the ground.
"Paul…Paul…PAUL, you okay?" Sam yelled finally getting my attention. I turn to him and glance back at the girl. "Yea I'm just enjoying my day off with the local vamps." I said sarcastically. "Sam, I'm fine let's get this shit over with." I said and Sam just shook his head and started talking to the leader again. That's when I noticed the pixie vamp's eyes glaze over which freaked me the fuck out. Come on that shit isn't normal.
Alice POV
Suddenly I was pulled into a vision.
**Vision**
Bella wakes up screaming. She will open her eyes and try to run as she scans the faces of everyone. Bella's eyes land on a face…*Bella's future disappears*
**End of Vision**
"What did you see Alice?" Jasper asked I looked at him with sadness that I know he feels. Bella will wake up in 45 seconds and shortly thereafter her future disappears." I told Jasper trying to remain calm.
"What are you talking about? Bella is right there." Jared said. Just as the stupid pup finished Bella began to scream. "I'M SORRY…I WON'T DO THAT AGAIN…" Bella screams as tears start to pour down her bruised cheeks. All I could do was stand there and watch as Bella's future unfolded.
Other POV
Bella start to scurry backward on the ground. Everyone just stood there watching her as fear on her face intensified. Bella started to scan the faces around her trying to see if he was there. She was slowly calming down with the help of Jasper when her eyes landed on one of the pack. When this happened she gasped causing all to look once again as they followed her line of sight. It was Paul.
"You didn't! Not her, Paul." Jacob yelled. Cullen's looked at Bella then Paul causing Paul to start shaking and non-stop growling. "Jacob not now!" Sam alpha commanded trying to defuse the situation as Jacob started to shake as well.
"Paul, you need to calm down." Sam said and then turned to the Cullens. "You need to back away from Bella now. Paul's patience is thinning and there won't be no stopping him if anyone gets in his way of Bella." Sam said calmly. The Cullens just slowly nodded their heads and backed away. Bella on the other hand was scared to death. Once the Cullens were far enough back Paul rushed to Bella side and quickly scanned her for wounds.
Bella didn't know what was going on but refused to be held by Paul. "GET OFF OF ME!" Bella yelled. Paul just looked at her confused as he wrapped his arms around her. "Sh…Bella…sh…everything is going to be okay, baby."Paul whispered in her ear as he rocked her. Bella had no idea as to why she felt safe in Paul's arms or why he was being nice to her all of a sudden. One thing she did know is she needed it.
