Chapter 3

Bella waited patiently for Embry she had worn her favourite gown. After several hours she realized he wasn't coming so with a sigh she sat up and started to walk back when a rustle caught her attention.

She dared to hope that it was Embry but he heart crashed as a different Quileute man walked out and stopped in front of her.

"Who are you?" she asked rather timidly "I can see why he likes you" was his only reply as he circled her. He was quite proud of the fact she held herself as he inspected her she never wavered in her hold.

"I asked who you were now answer me" she said rather boldly he smirked as he stopped in front of her "I am Quil a friend of Embry's" her heart lifted a little at the mention of his name.

"Where is he? What has happened?" he looked rather sad about this topic "you two were seen yesterday by a woman of our tribe who has wanted Embry for some time she has told the elders and they will no longer allow him to leave the tribe and he will soon be married to her"

Bella felt her heart break at that news "he asked me to come to you and tell you, I am sorry but he can never see you again please don't try to contact him if anyone finds out he'll be in even more trouble then before".

With silent tears she nodded her head he felt sorry for this woman "I am truly sorry" she nodded again and he turned and left.

She remained there for sometime it had started to grow quite dark "Bella!" she jumped at her name.

She looked around as Mike stepped through the woods "oh Bella everyone has been so worried" she moved away from him but he quickly stopped her "now don't be like that Bella I have come to help you" he moved to touch her face but she pushed him away.

This angered him greatly he grabbed her and hit her causing her to fall hard on the floor as he climbed on top of her smirking "scream all you want Bella no one will hear you".

He was wrong at the very same time Quil was out hunting when he heard her screams, he quickly moved towards the screaming and was horrified to see a very bloodied and naked Bella laid on the floor with an almost naked pale face man on top of her.

Without thinking he quickly raced to her aid and tackled the man off of her. Mike struggled against Quil until he was knock unconscious by the more experienced Indian.

Quil then quickly rushed to Bella "Bella? Bella?" he called her name several more times but still no response came from her. He quickly took his cape off and covered her body and then lifted her gently and carried her to the reservation.

To say everyone was shocked at the sight of him carrying an unconscious pale faced woman. The chief and the medicine man hurried to him "who is this, my son" he asked as Quil gently laid Bella down on one of the mats in the Chief's tent.

"she was attacked by a pale faced man I arrived before he could do more then rip her clothes or beat her" the chief nodded "well done we will leave her to Crow to heal".

Quil quickly left and went in search of Embry, he was found in his tent were he spent most of his time now "Quil my friend I am not in the mood for visitors" he said but then he saw the look on Quil's face.

"What happened? Why are you covered in blood? Is it your own?" he asked Quil shook his head "no it's is Bella's she was attacked I went earlier as you had asked she remained at the lake I think there a pale face man found her and started to attack her, luckily I was out hunting otherwise no one would of heard her screams, she is with Crow and Chief Eagle now".

Before Quil could finish Embry raced out of the tent and towards the chiefs, he did not ask for an invitation as he barged in.

"Embry why do you disrespect my home in such a way" asked Chief Eagle when he failed to get a reply he noticed the pained look upon Embry's face as he looked at the pale face girl.

"She is the one you were seen with" Embry thought it was more of a statement rather than a question but nodded his head in answer anyway. "Is she alright" he asked Crow.

"She will live her wounds are not very deep nor many, we will know more when she wakes up" Embry nodded again in response and he took Crow's place beside her. He gently lifted her hand into his and touched her face lightly.

Crow and Chief Eagle watched this "I think his heart truly does lie with this woman, we are wrong to ask him to give it to another when he himself dose not posses it" said Crow, Chief Eagle nodded in understanding "but she is not a Quileute woman we have never let an outsider joins us"

"Yes that is true, but we have never met an outsider that has responded in such a way before, normally they respond with hatred and anger she response to him with love".

The chief turned to him "how can you know this" Crow smiled "I have talked with him and through visions I have seen her myself she is unlike the other pale face woman in the village nearby she does not care for the colour of your skin simply the strength of your heart"

The chief smiled and then turned to Embry "Embry does your heart truly lie with this woman" Embry nodded in response but never did he take his eyes away from her.

"Then I will allow this union if she so wishes it, please take her to your tent, you will be in charge of her care" Embry looked at the Chief in amazement "are you sure" the chief nodded and smiled at him as his face grew with gratitude.

Embry carefully lifted Bella and carried her to his tent he heard many whispers but ignored them and he entered his tent.

He laid her down onto his cot and whisper "here my Bella, I will take good care of you please wake up so that we can be joined together for the rest of our lives"

He kissed her gently on the forehead and arranged himself comfortably on the floor with his head resting on her arm as his hand held hers.

There you go love it hate it let me know
