Chapter one
PPOV
"Hey Sam. Emily doing lunch? I'm starving" I asked.
"Don't you ever shut up and stop complaining?"
"Shut it pup. At least don't have to listen someone going on and on about the leech lover!" one paul and zero Jacob.
"Paul" Sam warned.
I don't understand why he complains about the name. Jake yeah, but his in love with her, but for Sam too it just doesn't make any sense to me.
With that thought an image came into my head from Sam's.
In the forest. A girl with long dark hair on the floor, she looked so broken, like she had collapsed and didn't have to will to get up again; like she's lost all hope of anything.
"If anyone has more of a reason to hate the leeches then us, Bella has." Sam said seriously
I ignored all the voices in my head and carried on with my patrol.
I could smell and see everything, from the insects crawling around the ground to the smell of strawberry's and flowers and a smell so sweet it burnt my nose. It could only mean one thing. Vampire.
"Sam. I've found something, it smells close" I lifted my head and howled.
The pack was with me within seconds. Adrenaline coursing through us, as the smell got stronger.
"Stay together and be careful." Sam ordered.
This is one of the reasons why our mind link is useful and other times it can just be annoying.
"What you don't like me in your head?" Embry joked
"Oh you're a joy" Jared commented.
"This isn't time the time for joking; we need to focus" our Alpha warned.
"Sam there's a human out here. Does anyone recognize who's sent it is?" Embry asked.
The sent was like wild flowers and spices. It was beautiful I had never smelt anything so wonderful like it before.
We all felt the recognition and shock from Sam and one name came into our heads.
Bella…..
Why would she be in the forest on her after last time. If anything she should be trying to get as far away as possible, it made to no sense.
Before I could even ask Jake answered.
"She's been looking for some meadow. I was helping her but then I phased. I didn't think she'd carry on without me." His voice was sad and worried.
"She can't walk ten feet on a flat surface without some catastrophy happening, never mind on her own!" A memory of Bella entered Jakes head.
A year ago. Bella came home from phoenix after three days in the hospital. She fell down two flights of stairs and through a window. She had broken her leg and a few ribs.
Wow. I guess she has a very eventful life.
I can see why Sam checked on her in the first month of him finding her, and it was for good reason.
Jake was about to say something but was interrupted by someone speaking somewhere ahead of us. We slowed so we could listen.
"But you helped us." A voice I immediately identified as Bella swan.
"Shush…." Hushed a male's voice as if he were trying to give her comfort in some way.
Vampire. Our senses told us.
Well this can't be good.
"Victoria won't be happy with me killing you."
"Please don't." Bella said in a weak voice. She knew nothing would help or stop him.
We were at the edge of a meadow, waiting to see if we could get any information. This vampire seemed to like talking.
"Don't worry. This is a mercy killing compared to what Victoria was planning to do to you. It was very… cruel, even for a vampire." He sounded disgusted.
He was right in front of her now, whispering in her ear.
"I'll make it painless."
He raised his hand as if hit Bella, the force would break her neck.
"Quick!" Sam yelled lunching himself into the meadow.
We all ran after him.
Bella looked more amazed than scared at the sight of us. Strange.
We went straight after the leech.
"Paul, make sure she gets home safe." Sam said.
"I'll stay" Jacob suggested.
"No. Paul will. Keep out of sight, you can't let her see you." He left no room for arguments.
I turned around and went back to the meadow. When I got there she was already gone.
