Chapter 7
Paul's POV
"What? H-how? It was such a deep wound." I said. She shook her head.
"Paul, I'm not ready to tell you. It's to dangerous. You shouldn't even be near me. Everyone around me gets hurt. I don't want to hurt you."
"You won't. You're not to dangerous for me. Trust me."
She frowned. "Please, I would't be able to live with me myself if something happened."
"You can't hurt me." I said right before I kissed her again. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I pulled her closer. I loved that her mouth fit perfectly on to mine. She was made for me.
"Ewwww! Room please!" I heard Brady yell.
"What do you want?" Rachel asked.
He smirked. "Sam called us Paul. Gotta go. You guys can make-out as much as you want tomorrow."
I rolled my eyes and kissed her forehead. "I won't stay away from you."
"You should." She said as I walked out the door.
Rachel's POV
I sighed and collapsed on my bed. He was perfect but I couldn't hurt him. I cannot drag him down with me. I sighed again as my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID to see Scott's name flash in big letters. I picked up the phone immediately.
"Rachel? Hey, we have like a major problem here."
I sat their for half a hour listening about the kanima and the deaths. I should be helping but I had enough problems here in La Push with finding vampires everyday.
"Could you do me a favor? I need something translated and I figured their must be some old vampire up there that could translate it."
"Ok, email me it and I can see what I can do."
"Thank you so much. Owe you one!"
I hung up and called Kim. She knew about vampires and might be able to tell me if there were any living around La Push.
She answered on the first ring.
"OMG Rachel! How was your day with Paul?! I want details!"
I rolled my eyes. "We only kissed once but I told him to stay away from me."
"WHY?!"
"Because I don't want to be the reason he ends up dead and his police report will say animal attack when we all know I was the one who lost control!"
The line was silent and I heard sighing on the other end. "Kim, I need your help. Are their any old vampires that live around here on like a full-time basis?"
"Ummmm…yeah. The Cullens. Dr. Cullen works at Forks hospital. Why?"
"I need his help with something but can you cover for me at lunch? I'm going to leave during lunch and probably spend the day at the hospital."
"I don't think that's such a good idea. He is a vampire."
"Kim, people are dying and I need to help."
"Fine."
So the next morning I woke up extra early so that I would have time to print off the bestiary and pack my purse with a knife and a couple of bandages.
"Brady, I gotta stay after school for a project. Could you hitch a ride with Collin or something?"
"Uh…..yeah, sure sis."
Once everything was set I went through a normal day of school with a couple of glares toward Liz Argent. When the lunch bell rang I made sure to be first one out and ran straight for the parking lot before anyone saw me.
The drive to Forks wasn't to bad. Dr. Cullen should be on his lunch break which would give me enough time to ask about the bestiary. Parking spots were not hard to find. Forks was such a small town that most people hang out at the diner during lunch. I walked right through the doors and sniffed the air. I could definitely smell vampire. I followed the scent through some double doors and walked to the front desk.
"Is Dr. Cullen here today?"
"Yes, but he is on break in his office."
"Could I see him? It's real important."
She nodded and called him in.
The smell of vampire got stronger and I couldn't help but shudder as a young man walked through the doors. He looked like a model but that must have been because he was a vampire. I walked up to him with a large smile.
"Dr. Cullen, I really need to speak with you. It's urgent."
He nodded. "Follow me to my office."
Paul's POV
I walked to lunch with Miguel but couldn't see Rachel anywhere. She was in third period but she wasn't here now. I walked up to Kim. She always knew what Rachel was up to.
"Hey Kim, where's Rachel?"
"She….um…got sick and had to head home early."
I looked at her suspiciously. "Guess I should probably go make sure she's okay."
"NO!" Kim yelled. I turned around.
"She….um…..said she's fine and you shouldn't come over."
"Kim, where is she really?"
"She told me not to tell you. Actually you were at the top of the list of people to not tell."
I shook my head. "I need to know where she is Kim. If she doesn't want me to know that means she's going somewhere dangerous and doesn't want me to get involved."
"Wow, you really do know your imprint." Kim said.
I rolled my eyes. "Where is she?"
"You probably should take Jake with you."
"WHERE IS SHE KIM?"
"Well, she kind of went to the hospital in Forks to visit Dr. Cullen and ask him for help with this life or death situation."
"SHE WHAT?!"
"Yeah."
I started to shake. Rachel walked into a hospital with BLOOD to go see a VAMPIRE doctor. I stormed out of the building with Jake, Brady, and Seth on my heels.
Rachel's POV
I sat down on a leather chair that was right next to the large dest full of papers and documents. Dr. Cullen sat behind the desk and faced me with his hand folded on the table.
"Thank you so much for meeting me on such a short notice Dr. Cullen. I'm Rachel Lake." I said holding my hand out.
"Please, call me Carlisle."
I nodded and went on. "I know what you are sir and I know you are much older than what you say. And I won't tell or anything."
"Are you sure you know what I am? Most humans that find out tend to stay away from me, not come and find me."
"Yes, you are a vampire and I'm not exactly human. This might seem crazy but I'm a werewolf. I was bitten a while back and had to move here to keep my pack safe. I'm not good with control."
He stared at me for a while then spoke. "Would you mind showing me? If you like I can take you to my house, somewhere more private?"
"That would be great and I wouldn't mind showing you but I need you to translate something for me. It's kind of a life or death situation."
"Of course. I'll lead you to my car."
I followed him to the parking lot when I noticed Paul, Brady, Jake, and Seth all walking toward us with some very angry expressions.
