The Pack's Reaction

When I woke up, I expected it to be on the ground and shivering. Instead, I woke up on a comfy bed. Memories from the night before rushed back to the front of my mind. I heard the pack laughing and yelling downstairs. Fear ran through my body at the thought of going down there with them.

Knock! Knock! I went to the door of the bedroom and opened it. Emily greeted me with a smile. I stared at her. "Breakfast is ready. Are you going to come down and eat?" she asked. "I can't," I whispered. She frowned. "Why not?" she asked. "They're down there," I whimpered. Understanding dawned on her face. "Okay, I won't push you. I'll send Sam up with a plate," she said. I nodded.

After Emily left, I went to the mirror that was hanging in the room. I lifted up my shirt and nearly gasped. I was so thin and unhealthy looking. There were bruises and scars that littered my torso. Someone gasped behind me. I jumped and whirled around. Sam stood in the doorway with a pained look.

I hurriedly pulled my shirt back down and bowed my head. A habit that I may never get rid of. He began to walk in my direction. "Bells, you don't have to do that," he said. I slowly lifted up my head and looked at him. He sat the plate down on the bed and stood there. "I know it will take time, Bella, but I want you to know that I will help you. I am so sorry for everything that I've done to you. I know that I can't make up for that, but I'm going to try," he said. I nodded.

"It's okay. I guess I deserved it," I said. His eyes flashed. "No you did not. I was just too blind and prejudice," he said. I looked at him. He sighed. "There are eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast on the plate. When you're done, just bring it downstairs so Em can wash it okay?" he asked. I was hesitant because the pack was down there. "Nothing is going to happen, I promise," he said. I nodded and he left.

I walked over to my food and began to eat it. It was so good and I became full fast. There were only a few pieces of bacon left, but I would be sick if I ate them. I quickly showered, changed, grabbed my plate and headed downstairs. I stepped into the kitchen and all eyes snapped to me. I froze. Fear filled my veins as I took a look around. Emily looked worried and Sam looked ready to protect me. The pack set their murderous glare on me. Paul got out of his seat and began to move towards me. A whimper escaped me just as Sam snarled and stepped in front of me. It was becoming too much to deal with and everything went black.
