Chapter 7: Injuries Always Bring Love Out

Fable

"Mommy! Where are you?" a little girls voice called through the hallway.

"Yes sweetie?" I answered.

"What happened to daddy?" She asked and hugged my leg.

"Daddy is with Auntie Max. Baby, he's alright." I said and picked her up.

"Girls, I'm home!" Gazzy called into the house.

I turned and smiled at him.

"Hey honey." I said and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey babe, How are you Blaire?" He asked, turning to our daughter.

"Daddy! I'm good!" Blaire said as she hugged her father.

"Gazzy… I want to talk to you in private." I said and leaned against the counter.

He nodded and our daughter ran off to play. He turned to look at me and smiled. I looked at the ground and covered my abdomen with my arms.

Gazzy put his arms around me and smiled down on me.

"What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" He whispered in my ear.

"Gazzy, you know how we wanted another child?" I asked.

"Yeah…" He trailed off.

"Well, I'm pregnant again." I said.

"Really?" Gazzy asked and looked at me.

"Yeah, I am." I said and smiled up at him.

I sat up and gasped. I looked around my room and saw nothing moved or missing. When I looked to my right and saw no one. I realized that everyone had left and I was alone in my apartment.

Suddenly there was a knock on my door. I got out of bed and looked down at my pajamas. I walked to the door and opened it.

"What do you want," I looked at the clock, "It's four in the fucking morning."

"Oh, sorry. I'm Bella, sorry about waking you up so early. Carlisle wanted to know if you were doing better than yesterday." The woman said as she looked around.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Please just let me go back to sleep. I was having a great dream before I woke up. I had a terrible day yesterday." I muttered and rubbed my eyes.

"Oh, okay Blaire. I'm just going to go now." She said and walked down the hallway.

I heard glass break behind me and I turned to find a man with a gun standing there.

"Aww fuck." I muttered and crossed my arms.

"Come 'ere leetle girly." He said in a French accent.

"Oh, so now it's the French Revolution. Great, now I get to sing in cannon with a bunch of people." I joked.

"Now what is thes stupid decision?" He asked before trying to club my head with his gun.

I ducked and punched his gut. He went flying into the couch and it tipped over. He got up and glared at me. I smirked and flipped him off.

He growled and tackled me to the ground. My head made impact with the floor and I saw stars for a few seconds.

Evidently that made him have an opening to try and hit my abdomen. I caught his hand and rolled onto him. I came face to face with him and smiled.

"Never mess with a trained girl." I whispered and knocked his head against the floor.

He grabbed his gun and fired off a shot. It hit my shoulder and I grabbed my shoulder. He jumped out the window. I got to my feet and slid my uGu boots on. I grabbed a jacket and my purse.

I stumbled out of the apartment complex and took off.

I landed just off of the Cullen's driveway and I walked up to the house.

When I got to the door, I knocked and clutched my shoulder. Carlisle came to the door and looked at me.

"I need help." I whispered and he looked at my shoulder.

He took my arm and led me into the house. A girl that looked around my age ran up to me and looked at me.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Shot in the shoulder by a stupid French agent. They never stop with that shit." I muttered and Carlisle led me to his office on the third floor.

He took out a needle and thread. I scooted away and clutched my shoulder.

"Blaire, what's the matter?" He asked and tried to beckon me to come forwards.

"No needle." I whispered and grabbed my knees like a small child.

Suddenly Emmet and Edward came in. I looked at them like a wild animal and braced myself to run.

"Please, I don't want to have Emmet and Edward to hold you down." He said with a worried look on his face.

"No, don't touch me!" I screamed when I had a sudden image of my father holding a knife, cutting up my back.

Edward looked at Carlisle. He frowned and gently grabbed my wrist.

"Let go of me!" I screamed and struggled to get out of his iron grip.

He held tight and forced me to lie down. I writhed and struggled to get out of both Emmet and Edward's grips. Carlisle tried to take my jacket off.

I struggled and jerked away from his cold hands. He sighed and crossed his arms.

"Rennesme, get up here!" He called out the door.

I kicked Emmet and he moved back a few inches. My eyes widened and I struggled even more.

"Let me go! I want to get out of here! Let me go!" I screamed again and jerked my body around.

The girl that had talked to me briefly earlier came in and her eyes widened.

"Carlisle, what happened here?" She asked and took another look at me.

"She freaked out when he took out the needle, Nessie." Edward said as I kicked him in the chest.

He frowned and grabbed my leg. I wiggled and screamed.

"Stop struggling Blaire, we only want to help you." Carlisle said as he tried to take my jacket off again.

"N-no! You're just like dad! Let me go!" I screamed as I panicked.

Nessie put her hand on my cheek and I saw a beautiful meadow. But I panicked and imagined Erasers trying to kill me there.

"She won't stay still Carlisle. What is wrong with her Dad?" Nessie asked.

I writhed and my jacket came off of my shoulder. I realized that an old scar was showing. I froze and opened my eyes.

"What happened here?" Carlisle asked me and pointed to the scar.

"S-stop…" I whispered.

Carlisle took out a pair of pliers and took the bullet out of my shoulder. I winced and turned my head away from the bloody wound.

I heard a gasp and looked at the doorway to find Esme, Bella, and another woman who looked like a pixie. I pursed my lips and shivered as I felt the cold of a needle go through my shoulder.

When Carlisle was done I sat up and felt my jacket fall off my back. I looked down and let tears fall off my face.

"Blaire… Who did this to you?" He asked as he looked at my back.

I looked back and saw that my wings were gone. I looked at the scars and turned away.

"My father." I whispered.

Carlisle put a hand on my good shoulder and smiled at me. Edward gave me a questioning glance before standing by Bella and hugging her.

"I-I need to go. I have to get home right now." I said confidently and stood up.

I tumbled to my knees and put out my good hand to break my fall. Carlisle helped me up and held onto my arm so I didn't fall again.

"You are certainly not going anywhere quite yet Blaire. You are staying here at least until you aren't falling down." He said with a stern tone to his voice.

I nodded and thought about how I wish so much to correct him to say Fable. I rubbed my back and felt my jacket back over my wings. As Carlisle led me to an empty room and told me to lie down, I couldn't help but think that the kicks I sent into Emmet and Edward should've sent them flying into the wall. Or possibly through the wall. I shrugged mentally and closed my eyes to sleep.

Third, At the Cullen Home

Edward read Blaire's mind and frowned as he heard some odd things.

Why didn't they fly into or through the wall when I kicked them?

I'm just so glad that my wings didn't show. Now only if I had worn a t-shirt to bed.

Damn French agent, could've waited to attack me when someone else was around.

How on fucking Earth am I supposed to not warn them about my huge appetite? Should I eat less than usual? Of course I was just shot so they'll probably force food down my throat.

What are they?

The second, third, and fourth thoughts confused him. But the first two were just annoying. He sat down at the piano and played a few notes before everyone else came in.

"Edward, what is she thinking?" Carlisle asked.

He seemed worried for the young, not entirely human, girl.

"She is wondering how Emmet and I didn't fly into or through the walls when she kicked us. She is also wondering what we are, she's trying to think about how to warn us about her appetite. She also is thinking about the French agent that attacked her and that she was thankful that her wings didn't show." He said as he turned to face everyone.

"She has wings?" Esme asked, tears forming in her eyes.

He nodded and looked at the ground.

"Oh my god…" Esme said and buried her face in Carlisle's shoulder.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Everyone looked at the door and froze. Slowly, Alice walked to the door. When she opened it Max and the Flock were standing there holding up Nudge. Her side was bleeding.

"Get her to my office." Carlisle said and beckoned them to the stairs. Everyone walked up there as Gazzy stayed on the first level with Angel, Bella, Esme, Alice, and Nessie. He looked at the floor and glared.

"Gazzy, are you okay?" Angel asked quietly and put a hand on her brother's arm.

He nodded and put his head in his hands. When they had heard the crash from Fable's apartment they all rushed down to find it in shambles and fable was gone. They were attacked by MGeeks and Nudge was hurt pretty badly.

Max was willing to risk their secret to get Nudge some help. Gazzy was worried about Fable and couldn't help but think about her smile and her beautiful eye. Her brown hair fell at the right angle over her forehead so that it made him smile.

Angel focused and found the dreams of Fable, who was right upstairs. She smiled and nudged her brother.

She's upstairs in the first room to the left if you want to see her. She sent to Gazzy.

He nodded and walked up the stairs. When he opened the door to her room he gave a relieved sigh and sat beside her bed. He grabbed her hand and rubbed it reassuringly between his forefinger and thumb.

Her face light up with a smile and he realized that she was happy here, with him. He also realized that she was beautiful in every way possible.

He was stricken by love.

Ahhh. Some action finally. Sorry about her getting hurt. I wasn't thinking that much today! Lovels!
