Chapter 7
'' Camilla.'' My dad just looked at me when I came in the house. I got the instintual feeling that something was wrong. '' Dad what's wrong?'' I plopped myself down in the nearest chair. '' Nick got attacked today.'' He said the words quickly and my heart stopped. '' What do you mean he was attacked? Is he Okay?'' I placed and hand over my heart trying to calm myself. I was sure this is what if feels like to hyperventilate. '' Camilla.'' My dad pulled out the chair opposite of me and took my hands in his. '' He is going to be okay.'' He squeezed my hands tightly. '' But the attack triggered the wolf gene and he is now a part of the pack.'' He said it slowly watching me with a cautious eye.
The tears that had been welling up in my eyes fell from my eyes and I let out a chocked sound of relief.
'' Where is he?'' I couldn't imagine what he must be thinking and the fact that the things he knows about me and my family are all lies. '' He's at Jacobs.'' I got up to leave but he caught my arm. '' It is too dangerous for you to see him right now.'' I looked at him in disbelief. '' Dad, this is Nick he wouldn't hurt me.'' I snatched my arm away from him.
'' Fine but I am going with you.'' I lead the way on the sprint to Jacob's house. When I got there my brothers and a few other guys from the pack were standing around the house. '' Let her through.'' My dad ordered from behind me. As I walked past my brothers gave me sympathetic looks. When I entered the house I heard the bones cracking immediately. I ran to the room and saw Carlisle working to break his bones. He screamed loudly thrashing against them. '' Wait.'' Renesmee caught my arm and pulled me into her embrace. I felt tears falls down my face, I couldn't bear what they were doing to him. I know this is what can happen when a vampire gets their arms around you but actually seeing and hearing this happen was devastating.
'' It's alright you're done.'' Jacob coaxed as Carlisle started to wrap his body with bandages and get him hooked up to the IV. When they came out they closed the door behind them. '' You can see him just let him rest for a moment.'' Jacob told me walking past into the kitchen. Renesmee let me go and I followed.
'' What happened?'' There were so many questions like where was he at when he got attacked and how was the wolf gene able to save him when he was already injured. I couldn't imagine the first phase which is painful in itself, to be done with broken bones.
'' That bitch caught him at the boarder of the reservation. Luckily we had wolves nearby and when she dropped him he started to phase.'' The anger that swelled through me was unexplainable. '' Did you guys get her?'' I knew before they answered that they hadn't. '' We almost got her but she had some new born watching that distracted us while she got away.'' I ran a frustrated hand through my hair.
''Well did you guys at least get the newborn?'' I snapped and I hoped they knew it wasn't at them or personal.
''We killed it.'' Jacob spat looking disgusted. '' Have you ever heard of the wolf gene taking affect like that?'' That didn't help me and I'm in the bloodline of the Alpha's. '' No, but I am sure it was just a fight or flight instinct. '' He looked over at Carlisle. '' When you go back, tell them there is more than just her to worry about. This may be a Victoria situation all over again.'' I sighed.
'' Im going to leave, I think you will fine to visit with him and you will have to change out his IV but his injuries are no worse than the ones Jacob here had so he will be fine.'' Carlisle told me leaning in and giving me a kiss on the head. I nodded and didn't take hesitate to go.
I walked in the room and closed the door behind me. '' Nick.'' I said his name softly coming down and sitting on his good side taking his hand in mine. '' Camilla?'' He croaked.
''Why didn't you tell me?'' He groaned his eyes still closed. '' Nick you just need to rest.'' I squeezed his hand. '' You don't know how happy I am that you are okay.'' I said after a moment tears already falling down my face again. '' I don't know what I would have done without you.'' I choked out leaning forward placing my head on his hand.
'' Cammy, don't cry.'' He raised a hand placing it on top of my head, then he added '' You're a ugly crier.'' and he tried to laugh but only winced, I looked up at him and when our eyes finally melt it was like this cosmic feeling shot through me. All there was in this world was me and Nick here in this moment. I stood up and leaned over him, just looking into his eyes for a moment then placing a soft kiss on his lips.
Even though It was only a peck it was like no kiss I had ever had before. His good arm wrapped around me bringing me down on the bed. I was very careful to not lean on to him. '' Slow down, Nick.'' I pulled away getting comfortable where he had pulled me the bed was hardly big enough to fit the best of us.
By the end of the day Nick was doing better so we had him sitting up propped against the head board for support. I was sitting crossed legged on the bed facing him forcing him to take down some soup he still looked like shit. '' Explain it to me again.'' He took my empty hand and intertwined his fingers with mine.
'' Okay.'' I smiled with a roll of my eyes. '' We are what is called Imprinted. It means we are essentially soul mates. That there is no bond stronger than the one we share.'' When he actually gets to go to the welcoming bond fire he will get to hear the whole story. '' You know I don't feel any differently towards you.'' He leaned his head back looking at me lazily. '' I love you just as much as I loved you before.'' I rolled my eyes but I kind of believed it and I suddenly felt so stupid that I had not already just decided on him.
'' I can see why you never told me about all this.'' He said his eyes were nearly closed now. The morphine was taking effect on him. '' Oh yeah?'' I set the bowl of soup on the night stand and got up from the bed to help him lay down again.'' Yeah. If it weren't for all the pain I was feeling I would think I was dreaming.'' He slurred as he tried to reach out for me but failed.
'' lay down.'' I placed a hand behind his back trying to help him lay as painlessly as possible but he just plopped back and groaned when the pain hit him. '' You know you are still the biggest baby.'' I fixed the pillow under his head and pushed some of his hair out of his face. I was going to be sorry to see that go but it would make his fur to long.
'' Go to sleep you need to heal.'' I placed a kiss on his forehead. '' Lay with me.'' He caught my hand. I laughed he is like this when he drinks, when he is tired and when he sick. Lucky for him he wont ever catch another cold again.
'' Okay, but I have to lay on you good side.'' I gently pulled away from him and walked around to the other side. I can't believe I got imprinted on and was lucky enough for it to be Nick. But now I have this fear of what can happen to him as being part of the pack but on the other hand he would be able to protect himself better than he could as a human.
Okay guys, I think I cleared up the name thing but let me know if it slips up and thank you for reading and reviewing!
