Chapter 10:
The Love Of A Wolf Reaches Into Our Soul
(BPOV)
The next day I was awoken up by freezing cold water being thrown in my face. I would have screamed and cussed the person out for doing that but my mouth was still covered. They're gonna regret the day they ever messed with me.
"Rise and shine mutts." said a blonde girl.
I may have been unable to talk but I flipped her the bird. She got pissed and slapped me scratching my face in the process. It began to bleed down my face. After that she left.
I noticed that Skye was woken up by this blonde chick as well. She struggled to get free but the serum was still in our bodies making it impossible to do. We had no strength no energy and losing more blood everyday.
I tried to tell her to calm down that it'll just make it worse. Thankfully she understood. Her wrists were bleeding down her arms like mine were.
Did he have to put in on so tight? That bastard. Makes me wonder if we'll ever get out of here.
Then a different blonde girl came down looking rather short than the other one but she wasn't alone. Two very big guys came in right after her. What are they going to do? I thought the worst. I honestly did.
"Put their chains on the hook."
Hook? What hook? What are they gonna do? The guys went and unhooked the chains that were connected to steel rusty cuffs and dragged up to an empty area of the basement where above us were a couple of hooks hanging from the ceiling.
The guys took our chains to hang them on the hooks. Now our arms were above our heads leaving our whole body vulnerable to attack our feet still touched the ground. Sure enough I was right about that part.
"Use the whips boys. Make it hurt and make it bleed." said the chick and left.
They grabbed the whips and went behind us. Skye gave me a reassuring look a look that said 'everything will be ok'. Although I didn't quite believe that given the situation we are in.
That's when we received the first lash to our backs. We screamed through the tape that covered our mouths only it sounded like mumbling. It fucking hurt but they kept doing it and doing it. Never once stopping.
Some of the lashes hit our arms some on our legs and some even on our waist. After about an hour of pure torture I knew by now our backs were covered in lashes, blood and scars were going to remain. The scars in which we will always see in the mirror to remind us the torture we went through.
I couldn't believe Cullen was going to these lengths because I wouldn't give him the time of day. They injected more serum into us to keep us drugged. Then they would punch us in our stomachs then our faces giving us black eyes and cuts all around it, our ribs breaking several of them and sometimes they would even choke us just to see us suffer.
Cullen had given them a remote as well to give us the shock treatments. That asshole. The guys took every chance they got to electrocute us cause of the collars we had on our necks. Hundred volts of electricity surging throughout our bodies every 15 minutes. It came to a point where we thought we weren't going to see the light of day again.
This went on for probably couple of months we didn't know the days had blended together we didn't know what day it was anymore sometimes not knowing if it was day or night. The light coming from the window would be covered sometimes. But we were so fucked up we didn't know which way was up anymore.
Every time Cullen would ask me if I give up I would tell him no and to go fuck himself he would continue to torture us. The beating we received was wearing down our bodies making us more weaker than usual. Barely having strength to even lift our heads to look at each other.
For the first time in a long time I cried knowing we will not make out of here alive. I won't be able to see Charlie no more I will miss him so much. I would also miss Embry and his jokes that he always has, Quil and his retarded ass, Seth for being the sweetheart that he is, Paul and his hidden affection for people, Leah for being a badass and I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I would miss Jacob too. Jacob and his way to always make you smile no matter what.
I didn't know why I kept thinking about Jacob. At some or another I would always end thinking about Jacob. Sometimes I caught myself doing it and tried to shake it off. I didn't want to think about him. But my heart yearned for him but my brain said no. It's done now it doesn't matter anymore sooner or later we're gonna die and I had to accept that.
When I assumed was daylight came the morning or if it was morning we were get put back to be chained on the ancient looking gate again.
Left there to bleed, to suffer and to hurt. Our bodies were covered in blood the clothes soaked with blood even more torn than before. They were just barely hanging on our bodies with how much weight we lost. So many wounds.
Before I blacked out my last thought was if we will ever get out of here or if we will even make it out alive.
Doubt it.
(JPOV)
I had barely gotten any sleep. I slept less and less if not at all. I've been searching for Bella non-stop. My whole attitude had changed. I had become meaner and more angry. Any little thing would just piss me off. Paul as well. Nothing made me or Paul any better. It would just get worse and worse.
You left me with good bye and open arms
A cut so deep I don't deserve
Well you were always there to ruin my eyes
And the only thing against us now is time
Could it be any harder
To say goodbye without you
Could it be any harder
To watch you go to face what's true
If I only had one more day
Charlie's co-workers gave up looking since 6 months had passed and no sign of Bella or Skye. They told Charlie that he should give up that she just might be dead. But he refused to believe that just like we did.
I lay down and blind myself with laughter
Well a quick fix of hope is what I needed
Now I wish I can turn back the hours
But I know I just don't have the power
Yeah
Could it be any harder
To say goodbye without you
Could it be any harder
To watch you go to face what's true
If I only had one more day
We've never stopped looking for them. They were our imprints and we wanted them to come home safe and unharmed. We ran patrols non-stop either never stopping to rest we had refused to give up.
There were times where I just broke down and cried thinking about how I would give to just hold her in my arms and never let go. Then I would get angry and punch the living shit out of a tree. Leaving my knuckles to bleed.
Well I jump at the chance
We drink and we dance
And I listen close to your every word
As if its your last well I know its your last
Cause today oh you're gone
Could it be any harder
Fade away X3
Could it be any harder
Fade away X3
Ooohh yeah yeah
Could it be any harder
To live my life without you
Could it be any harder
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
Like sand on my feet
The smell of sweet perfume
You stick to me forever ever ever baby
And I wish u didn't go
I wish you didn't go
I wish you didn't go oh oh oh away
To touch you again
With life in your hands
It couldn't be anymore
Oh oh oooohhh
Could it be any harder
Could it be any harder
We had caught a couple of vampires and questioned them before killing them but they knew nothing about the girls. But one morning everything was going to change.
We were all at Emily's house except for Leah who was running patrol cause Sam said we had to take it easy that we were gonna wear ourselves out. But we didn't care still we stayed not really wanting to eat anything that was there.
After about 20 minutes later Leah came busting into the house looking as though she had ran 40 miles to get away from something panting out of breath.. I thought it was weird usually Leah wasn't like that to be so out of breath like that. Her eyes wandered the room looking for someone when her eyes came across me.
"Jake…" she said.
Everyone stood up including myself I ran up to her to see if she was ok.
"What's the matter Leah?" She took another second to catch her breath.
"Jake…I…found…them." she said in between breaths.
Her words echoed in my head but I was unable to believe them. I needed to hear it again to see if I heard correctly.
"What?"
"Bella and Skye….I found them." The whole house went quiet to listen.
"Where? Where are they?"
"The Cullen manor."
Those fucking Cullens. Treaty or no treaty I'm going to fucking kill them.
"How do you know for sure?"
"The way I saw it we were always searching our lands never once did we bother to check theirs. I kept my distance from their house waited for them to leave. Once all of them left I looked around the house to see if I caught a scent or anything. So I checked the back and there was this small little window I looked in it and I saw Bella and Skye." She then looked down at the floor.
"Leah are they alright?"
She raised her head and shook it.
"They were chained up so tightly that the blood from their wrists were bleeding down their arms and from the looks of Jake they have been tortured brutally. When I saw them they were knocked out just barely hanging on. If we don't something now they might not make it. We have to move now!"
"You heard her let's go! Leah you lead the way!" She nodded and ran off. We ran after her.
"Leah is the window big enough to get a person through?"
"Yes." she said after she phased along with the rest of the pack including myself.
Leah showed us what she saw. The images of Bella beaten, tied and hurt will forever haunt my head. To see her like that makes me think that I didn't try hard enough to save her to keep her safe to protect her. It was truly all my fault and now I was paying the price.
I will do everything in my power to save her even if it kills me. I hope I make it there in time. When we arrived we stopped at about 400 feet away we wanted to keep our distance from the house to be on the safe side. We phased back putting our clothes back on.
"Leah were any of the Cullens there?" I asked.
"They all left at the same time. And there were others as well too but they left with the Cullens too. I don't think they're part of the Cullen household."
Others? What others? Whatever I didn't care all I thought about was Bella.
"Ok Seth, Leah and Paul you're coming with me. The rest of you stay here and be on the lookout for anything." I said. They all nodded.
"Alright let's go."
All four of us ran towards the house with Leah leading the way. We crept along the side of the house towards the back. We look around our surroundings making sure that we weren't being followed.
"That's the window." she said as she pointed at the window."
I thought the window would be a lot more closer to the ground but it wasn't. It was up to my waist. I looked through the window and there I saw Bella. Her hair was a mess and wet she had cuts on her face, a black eye and bleeding from her forehead.
Duck tape covered her mouth so that she wouldn't scream. Her arms were slightly spread apart above her head. Cuffed at the wrists. Leah was right her wrists were bleeding down her arms. Her clothes were torn and wet. The shirt she had on was ripped it was a small piece just barely covering her.
Her whole torso was covered in slashes and bruises and bleeding all over. There was a big gash on her left leg. Her jeans were also torn and had really big holes. They were just barely hanging on to her waist from all the weight she lost. They no longer fit. Her ankles were cuffed as well and her waist too.
The image before me broke my heart and it made me angry cause I couldn't protect her. That she got hurt and it was my fault. I wanted to cry but I knew it wasn't the time for such a thing. I was furious I was gonna kill Cullen for putting his hands on her.
I knew Paul was just as furious as I was. Skye was in the same condition as Bella if not worse. To think about Cullen putting his hands on her hurting her made me even more angry that I busted the window with my fist.
I climbed through the window the rest followed me in except Seth he remained outside on the lookout. I rushed to Bella cupped her face.
"Bella. Bella baby I'm here. I'm here." I said caressing her face softly but I received no response.
"I'm gonna get you out of here."
We knew we had to act fast running short on time. We broke the chains that held them to the gate we were going to have to deal with the cuffs later when we get out of here. Once the chains were broken Bella fell into my arms. It was not a good sign. I held her bridal style.
"Come on we have to get out of here quick before they come back." I said.
Leah climbed out of the window first to help Seth with carrying Bella out of the window. Once out I climbed through as well Seth put Bella back in my arms. Then went to help with Skye Paul came out and Leah handed Skye to him.
"Hurry let's get the hell out of here." They nodded.
We met up with the rest of the pack. Sam said he'll go on ahead to give Emily a heads up that they were coming with the girls. We hurried as quick as we could we didn't know how much longer they had. Once we arrived at Emily's we ran inside.
"Come quick. I've prepared the spare room." she said. I took noticed that Sue was here too.
"I called Sue cause two pairs of hands are better than one." I nodded.
We took the girls to the spare room and put them on the beds. They carefully removed the cuffs from their wrists and ankles those cuffs had little spikes in it making their wrists and ankles bleed. They then removed those weird looking collars on their necks it made it wonder why that was there.
Slowly they took the tape off their mouths. They also had to take off their clothes to be able to treat their wounds. There was so much blood so many injuries so many bruises. It was heartbreaking to watch on how much damage their bodies were inflicted.
Sue told us that Bella had a few broken ribs, her leg was broken as well, her wrist was broken too and her shoulder too and that Skye had a broken arm, broken leg, broken collarbone and broken ribs.
The women carefully stitched them up and bandage them up and put cast on their legs, arms, shoulder, torsos, wrist and collarbone. Sue took blood work and did the analyzes right then and there.
"What the…" she said.
"What is it Sue?" She looked at us.
"They have Pentoxifylline in their system."
"What's that?"
"It's a type of serum that when injected it makes that person somewhat groggy, unable to hardly move, can't make any strength almost like a high where the body feels like it weighs a 1,000 pounds. Where they can't fight to defend themselves where's almost like being paralyzed. They were given this so that they couldn't escape or fight back so that they can do whatever they wanted to them. They were tortured for these past 6 months."
It enraged me to know that they couldn't fight back because of that serum in their blood. After they bandaged them up they told us to wait outside in the living room while they checked a few more things.
We waited in the living room with the others.
"I swear if I get my hands on Cullen I'm gonna rip him to pieces. How dare he hurt Skye like that." said Paul clenching his fists.
"Treaty or no treaty he's going down for this. I don't give a shit what anybody says. He touched what's mine and now he's going to pay for it." I said.
"Come on Jacob let's not do anything drastic." said Sam.
"Drastic? Sam they beat our imprints."
"I understand Jacob but they didn't feed off of them and they didn't kill them. Treaty says if they bite or turned a human it means war. And they didn't do neither."
"Sam I can't guarantee that I'll be able to control my temper if I see him."
"So then we'll make sure that you don't come across him. Till then we just have to figure out a way to stop this and why they did this to the girls and what they want with them."
After about a half hour they came out to the living room.
"Are they gonna be ok?" I asked quickly.
"Yes they're gonna be alright. They need a lot of rest right now. God knows they probably haven't had any in months." said Emily.
"Will they wake up soon?" asked Paul. You can tell he was really concerned about Skye and that he cared for her. Never thought I would see that side of him before. Sue spoke up next.
"It might be awhile considering their condition. But don't lose faith they just need time to heal and rest. They've been through a lot right now. They might not wake up for a couple of days but just remember they're healing as we speak just very slowly."
We both nodded.
"Thanks Sue, Emily I can't thank you enough." I said. I was still pretty down that Bella might not wake up for awhile but at least she was ok.
"It's no problem Jake. I'll come by later to check on them." said Sue as she gave me a hug. I nodded.
By this time I was exhausted but at ease knowing that Bella was back home. My body was drained of its energy. I don't even know when was the last time I slept or ate.
Paul and I slept in chairs that were in the room with the girls. I don't know how long we slept but going that long without being with them we didn't want them to leave our sight. We wanted to be near them close to them. To not be close to them for 6 months took a toll on our minds as well as our bodies. It made us weak and vulnerable almost making it impossible to concentrate.
Emily came in a few times to check on the girls and so did Sue. Still no change. I was beginning to worry that Bella was ever gonna wake up. Sometimes Sam had to actually drag us out and force to eat something cause we didn't want to leave in case they woke up but they didn't. and it was like that for another 2 weeks.
We were in the dinning room eating except for Seth. He had eaten earlier so now he was in the room watching the girls in case of anything. He just volunteered to watch over them that he didn't mind at all. I could always count on Seth for these kinds of things. Sue had come over to check on them and stayed for breakfast. But who knew today everything would change?
(BPOV)
How long have I been out? Am I on a bed? Feels comfy. Guess I am. But wait a minute wasn't I in the basement? Chained? What's going on here? I was going to find out what exactly was going on. I slowly open my eyes but the light stung them.
God the sun was mad fucking bright I've always favored the night more than the day. Wait the sun? Now things were getting weird. Slowly I sat up groaning as I did in pain. Damn I never realized how fucked up my body was. I saw that I was stitched up and had bandages all over and a casts.
It's when I noticed I'm in a room a very familiar room that's when I saw Seth.
"Oh my god Bella are you ok?" he asked as he came to me sitting on the bed.
"Seth? What happened?" I asked lowly.
"Bella you've been missing for 6 months."
"Shit it's been 6 months?" I was shocked how long I've been gone for. I had lost tracked a long time ago. All I had tried to focus on was trying to stay alive looks like I almost didn't make it.
"Yeah. Leah found you. Jake never stopped looking for you."
"I don't know why. It's not like he cares anyways."
"What do you mean?"
"Long story." I said. Then Skye began to wake up. Seth rushed to her side to see if she needed help getting up. Skye gripped her head in pain groaning. Then she looked at Seth as she fully stood up in bed.
"Who are you?" she asked softly.
"I'm Seth. Seth Clearwater." he said with a small smile.
The expression on her face did not go unnoticed. Her eyes went wide in shock at the mere mention of his name. But why? Did she know something? Is she hiding something? Why did she have that look on her face? Seth saw her look and grew with concern.
"Are you ok Skye?" he asked so sweetly. She snapped back to reality.
"Y…yeah yeah. I-I'm fine. Really I am." I knew her better than that. She knows something I was sure of it. The way she talked just now gave it away although Seth didn't noticed but I did. And I plan to find out.
"Come on I'll help you girls to the living room. Everyone is there waiting."
Seth helped us up from the bed. I hooked my arm around his while Skye put her good arm around his shoulder and put his hand on her waist to keep her steady on her feet as well as me. Slowly but surely we made our way to the to the living room. Once we walked into the living room everyone went quiet some were in shock. The first one to react was Sue.
"Are you girls alright?" I nodded but Skye had that look again. I swear if she didn't tell me what she knew I was gonna beat it out of her. She just went into shock mode again. Something is really going on with her.
"Skye this is my mother Sue Clearwater. Mom this is Skye."
They stood looking at each other. Well more Skye than Sue. I looked back and forth between the two.
"I…my…m…wha…s…sh…" Skye was stuttering. Next thing I knew Skye had fallen back on the floor. She had fainted. Shit. And I was oblivious as to why.
"Oh shit." said Seth.
"My god is she alright?" asked Sue.
"I think she fainted mom." Seth went to pick her up and placed her on the couch. Soon enough Jake came running to my side.
"Bella baby are you alright? I was so worried about you I was so scared that I thought I would never see you again." he went to touch me but I slapped his hand away.
"You probably won't."
"But why? I don't understand."
"You know why. What? You think I wouldn't find out?" I snapped at him.
"What do you mean Bella?" asked Embry.
I glared at Jake I was so angry with him.
"I saw him in town kissing Liz Rider. The bitch who dated Jake the one who cheated on him the one who was the source of all our fights."
"You're ex?" asked Quil to Jake.
"The very fucking same. I can't believe I fell for your bullshit. I was just another notch on your bedpost."
"What? No Bella it's not like that." he went to touch me again but I stepped back.
"I swear to god Black if you fucking touch me you will never walk again. I may be fucked up but I will not hesitate to fuck you up. Now if you don't mind I want to finish getting better without you annoying the fuck out of me. Cause once I'm completely healed I'm gonna beat Cullen's sparkly ass so hard he's gonna wish that he was dead."
"Hold on. Wait a minute you know Cullen?" asked Jared.
"I don't know him like that. He was just some asshole I met at a bookstore who wouldn't stop asking me out. And I made it known that his pasty scrawny ass doesn't quite cut it for me and he didn't want to take 'no' for an answer. Annoying as fuck is what he is." I said. "Every chance he got he would electrocute us by the collars we wore he said it was to keep us under control. Basically like fucking dogs. He had others do his dirty work for him. I figured he was never the type to get his hands dirty. He said my blood sang to him whatever that meant he said I may be impure but he still wanted to make me his only if I was willing to. Which I never did. He said I can spend eternity with him I said I would never want to be with someone as pasty and scrawny as him. I'm gonna beat his ass to a fucking bloody pulp when I'm done with him."
"Bella please just hear me out."
"Fuck you Black I don't need to do shit. I got nothing to say to you. Like I would give a shit on what you have to say now. Me and Skye went through hell and you didn't do shit about it. Too worried about Little Miss Slut Liz Rider. Seth told me it was Leah that found us not you. So technically she's the real hero here and for that I thank you Leah."
"No problem Bella." she said. I turned my attention back to Jake.
"Please let me explain. Liz means nothing to me."
"That's not what it looked like to me. Making out in public…" That's when it hit me like a ton of fucking bricks. Like reality just smacked me in the face.
"Wait a minute it makes sense now."
"What does?" asked Seth.
"It's payback."
"For what Bella?" asked Embry.
"I get it now. This is payback for kissing Seth at that party isn't it?" Everyone's jaw dropped.
"What?" asked Sue.
"No offence Sue I was drunk I didn't know what I was doing and honestly I don't remember it. Sorry."
She just smiled cause she knew I meant it. "None taken."
"But that's what it is isn't it? It's what I get for kissing Seth right? You go and find the one person I hate the most the one person who I detested most. Liz. You had to go and find her and make out with her in public."
"What? No…"
"You know what? Maybe I deserve it for all the shit I caused in the past. Probably for being bad, getting drunk, smoking, using drugs and maybe being a cold hearted person who doesn't give a sit about anything. One who probably doesn't deserve to be loved. You know what? That's ok. That's the way karma works right? I always knew that my life would come to this. The one who gets fucked over." I sneered at him.
"As soon as we're better we're going home."
Once I finished Sue spoke up. "I think she's coming to." I limped my way over to the couch. She groaned.
"Skye are you alright?" I asked as she sat up.
"Yeah what happened?"
"You fainted."
"Really? For a minute there I thought I saw…." she looked up and froze once again. It was starting to piss me off more than usual. Why does she keep doing that? Why is she looking at Sue like that?
That's when I realized something.
"Skye didn't you say you were looking for your mother?"
She got off the couch and stood next to me. Skye nodded.
"Do you know her name?" She nodded again.
"What's your mom's name?" I asked.
Everyone including myself waited for her answer although I had a feeling I already knew the answer. She gulped hard.
"Skye what is your mother's name?"
"My mother's name is Sue Clearwater."
Everybody gasped in shock. The look on Sue's face was indescribable.
"Who's your father?" asked Sam. There he goes again sticking in his 2 cents where it doesn't belong.
"My father's name is…" she started but got cut off by the one person who we thought was less likely to answer.
"Jesse Mercer." said Sue. Everybody said 'what?' at the same time.
"Sue how would you know about that?" asked Emily. Sue sighed.
"Because Jesse Mercer was my boyfriend, my lover my everything. I wanted to marry him to bear his children. We planned to be married we were expecting a child. But my parents never approved of him. They didn't want us to be together they did all they could to break us apart. Once they found out that I was pregnant they wanted me to give up Jesse and give up my child. My parents threatened to ruin his life if I didn't give him up. I couldn't allow that to happen to him. He didn't deserve it. I loved him so much I didn't want that to happen to him to have his life ruined by my parents so I did what I thought was best and it broke my heart to do so. I gave him up I gave up both of them and I never saw them again."
By this time Sue was crying. "I did ask him one thing before he left. To name our little girl something unique some no one had. I asked him to name her 'Skye'." she said. "There was never a day where I haven't thought about you or your father. Is…is he in town? I haven't seen him."
That's when Skye did a whole 180 right there. She stood firm where her attitude was about to change in 3, 2, 1.
"Dad died when I was 13 years old. 7 years ago and I'm 20 now. A lot has happened since then. I've bounced from foster home to foster home and not because I rebelled but because I was abused. I phased at 13 when Dad died. I was scared I didn't know what to do I didn't know what was going on after being abused for so long I ran away from there. Been on my own ever since."
Sue's hand flew up to her mouth. "Oh my god…" she whispered.
Skye scoffed. "That's not even the tip of the ice burg yet."
"Skye…" I warned but she ignored it. She took a step closer so she stood in between me and Seth on one side and Sue, Emily and the rest of the guys on other side. The look on Skye's face was stone cold now she was a completely different person.
"I have been cheated on…"
I saw Paul's eyes go wide.
"…beaten on…"
He clenched his fists.
"…and to top it all off…"
I knew where she was going with this and I knew Paul wasn't going to like this one bit. He is going to want blood for this I just know it.
"…I was raped." Paul looked like he had been slapped in the face.
"It's why I am the way I am. I need no one. Bella had been my only friend but she wasn't around when those things happened to me nor did would I want her to see that at such a young age. I'm glad to have my cousin back in my life again."
"Bella is your cousin?" asked Sam being fucking nosy again.
"Yes she is dumbass. Her dad is my uncle his brother. Bella is who keeps me from beating the living shit out of girls who try to steal other people's boyfriends like this asshole here." she pointed at Jake. "That bitch was lucky that Bella stopped me or else I would've killed her where she stood and for looking like a fucking idiot. But I've kept myself under control most of the time anyway. I've never needed anyone before and I certainly don't need anyone now. So now that you know who I am I can leave now."
I knew she meant the house and not Forks for she had told me she was planning on staying.
"You can't leave." Sam said.
"And why the fuck not? I did what you wanted me to do what more do you fucking want you dick?"
Why did I get the feeling he was gonna blurt out everything?
"You can't leave you're fate has been decided here in La Push."
"What are you talking about? What is he talking about?" she asked looking at me.
Yup I was right. He was going to blurt out everything. God this was so gonna backfire. This was not gonna turn out good. Shit is going to hit the roof big time and there was no stopping it or her.
"Sam…" I warned.
"I'm talking about imprinting." My hand flew up to my forehead hitting it. God he didn't know he was opening up a can of worms. That this is the calm before the storm.
"Imprinting?" she looked at me again. "Is he talking about the same imprinting bullshit you told me 6 months ago? That imprinting?" I nodded. She turned back to him still ticked off.
"What the fuck does that have to do with me asshole?"
Then I heard Embry whisper to Quil. "Shit it's no wonder. She's perfect for him. Same hot headedness just like him." he had no idea how right he was. And I had a feeling this shit was gonna blow up in my face big time.
"You've been imprinted on."
"What?" she said enunciating.
"You've been imprinted on." he said again. Skye took a second to process everything.
"Who imprinting on me?" she asked slowly. Sam looked at me passed Skye I shook my head mouthing 'don't do it' to him but he chose to ignore it. Bastard I'm gonna beat his ass for that.
"Paul did." he said as he pointed him out. She whipped her head in the direction he pointed in.
"Ahh shit." I said. She then whipped her head in my direction so fast it wasn't even funny.
"You knew? And you didn't even fucking tell me?" Now she turned her body completely facing me.
"It wasn't my place to tell you." She pushed me I stumbled backwards but I still remained on my feet.
"I can't believe you had the fucking audacity not to tell me!" I was getting angry now and so was she.
"As if I had the fucking time to tell you! It's his job not mine!"
"Oh yeah that's right! You were so busy cause you're attention was so focused on this asshole right here you had failed to mention it to me! Is that it?" Now she was hitting a nerve.
"Oh sure between being kidnapped, and beaten to fucking oblivion and having our mouths taped up sure I had lots of fucking time! How the fuck was I going to tell you anyway?" I pushed her back.
"Oh please you're just using that as a fucking excuse! Sorry Bella but you're not bullshitting me!"
"You bitch!"
"You're a piece of shit Bella you're no better than they are. You're no better than that bitch Liz."
And that's when the roof blew up. I lunged at her with my fist hitting her face. She was thrown back by surprised crashing into the dinning table breaking it in the process but came back quickly punching me in the stomach then an uppercut causing me fall and break the coffee table in the living room.
I got up and threw some punches and kicks in which some of them she blocked as well she did the same. Then in one moment she kicked me in the stomach which sent me flying through the window rolling off the porch and onto the front lawn.
I tried to get up quickly as she came out through the window. My body was shaking and so was hers. Everyone came out to see us have a stand down. I growled at her in anger she really went over the line. Now things were really going to get out of hand.
We both screamed to the top pf our lungs as we both phased right then and there growling at each other showing our teeth to one another roaring.
It had been a long time since I've seen Skye's wolf. It was black and white with piercing bright grey eyes. That's when we charged at each other hard. She bit my neck I bit her paws. She scratched my eye and I scratched her face. We fought hard and long to the point I thought no one could stop us till Jacob and Paul came in between us before we lunged at each other again.
"Stop it! This ends now! You guys are cousins you shouldn't even be fighting over this! You shouldn't be fighting at all! You're not even completely recovered and now you're out here fighting!" said Jacob.
"You guys are family. You shouldn't let anything come between you two. I'm sorry Skye I should've told you I just didn't know how."
"Come on girls. You are in no fighting condition please phased back." he said.
"Emily could you please bring out some clothes?" asked Paul. She nodded and went inside and brought back 2 pairs of blue low rider jeans, sneakers and two shirts. One navy blue and one black one. She told us to follow her to the garage so that we can change there. She left the clothes inside while we went in as she gave us privacy to change.
As we phased back we put the clothes on carefully considering we were still hurt and added a few wounds to the list. We open our old wounds so we knew it had to be stitched up again before bled out. As I put on the navy blue shirt I carefully watched as it didn't touch my eye so that I didn't get blood on it. Skye did the same with her face.
"Listen Skye I'm sorry for not telling you about the imprint. A lot of things were happening at that moment I just forgot."
"It's ok. I overreacted I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have said those I went too far. I didn't' mean any of it."
"I understand you were mad. And I know you didn't mean it. I probably would have done the same thing."
"So what do you say? Truce?" she held her good hand out I smiled and nodded grabbed her hand.
"Truce."
"Cool. Now let's go back in there so I can beat Paul's ass to bloody pulp." I laughed.
We both entered the house limping once again. Emily came running to me worried out of her mind.
"Oh my god Bella your eye let me take care of that for you."
Sue went to Skye. "Your face. Let me clean that up for you."
They made us sit down on the couch while they worked on stitching us back up and taking care of the new injuries. When Skye scratched me it went from my eyebrow diagonally across my eye jus barely missing it by mere inches to near my temple. For Skye there were four claw marks across her left cheek. We were still in pretty bad shape. Fighting on broken limbs is not fun at all but when your enraged you don't think about that at all.
No one spoke well except for Seth that is who came up to Skye.
"So I guess this makes me your little brother then huh?"
Skye smiled as Sue continued to treat her face and held up her fist to fist bump with Seth in which he gladly did. "Yes you are." Seth grinned.
"Awesome." he said.
"Yeah now I have a little brother to pick on." she said as she messed with his hair.
"Hey." Seth laughed. Then Leah stepped up.
"Then it makes me you're little sister too." Skye looked up.
"Would you look at that? I got the whole set now. I get to pick on both of you now since I'm the oldest here." They laughed. "We gotta hang out sometime but I'm driving just so you know." They nodded. "So I'll pick you guys up one day at school when I'm better."
"Cool." They both said.
It was nice to see them get along so well. Skye truly deserve a family like them it was perfect for her. At least she didn't have to feel so alone like before. She had always thought she would never have a normal family like other people did. Never did she think she would come across her real mother let alone a sister and a brother. She may have lost her dad but she gained a mother, sister and a brother in return. Although it may have taken years to find them but in the end you could tell it was worth it for her. A small price to pay but I think she was happy at least on getting a family she always wanted.
"There. All done." said Emily. Sue was done as well.
"Well if that's the case I will be going now." I said as I stoop too quickly wincing as I did in pain falling to my knees.
"No way. You are not going anywhere. You're not well enough to even move right now."
"Sorry Emily but I'm not staying here. The reek of douche bags is starting to rot in here. Wouldn't you agree Skye?" She stood up slowly.
"Yeah no doubt. And of liars too. It's mixed in with the douche bags. That's god awful smell. I can't stand it can you?"
I looked at Jake with a mean look. "Never could stand that stench lingering. All it does is makes you rot with it. Let's go. Seth can you give us a ride to my house?"
"Sure." Of course he couldn't say no to us especially his newly found sister. We aimed for the door when Jake called out to me.
"Bella please wait." I turned around.
"Fuck you Black. What more could you possibly say to me? I would recommend you to shut the fuck up cause it will only make it worse. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going home. Charlie needs me right now he probably thinks I'm dead. So he needs me more than ever. More than you. Besides I don't want to hear anything you have to say. Let's go Seth."
We limped to his mom's car got in and drove off.
"Wow Bella never saw this side of you before. I like it." Skye said. "Although I think it's a front to be honest."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"It's clear as fucking day and it's totally written on your face."
"What is?" asked Seth.
"That she still loves him." I gasped.
"She just wants to make suffer as much as she did. She doesn't want to forgive right away so he's gotta work for it so to speak."
"Now I seriously don't know what she's talking about Seth I swear."
He only smirked. "Sure Bella whatever you say."
"Listen I don't fucking care what you say Skye. The fact of the matter still remains he fucking cheated so he can jump off a fucking cliff and hit the fucking rocks below for all I care."
"Actually Bella there's more to that story." said Seth keeping his eyes on the road.
"What the hell do you mean? what more could there possibly be? Fucking enlighten me although I doubt it would do any good."
"Jacob didn't cheat on you Bella. He wanted to make up for making you feel like shit that day. So he thought he would buy you a book cause he knew you love to read and when he came out the store that girl Liz was there. He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. She hit on him but he wanted nothing to with her. He told her that you were more worthy to be with. That you did the one thing she couldn't do."
"And what's that exactly?" Seth looked at me.
"Love him." Then he looked back on the road.
"He didn't cheat on Bella?"
"He never could. He loves Bella too much to do that to her. Jake has always loved Bella even before the imprint. The imprint just enhanced it ten fold."
"No way Seth. Don't be talking about that imprint bullshit. That's a crock of shit is what that is. I don't believe in that."
"But Paul imprinted on you."
"Who gives a rat's ass? As if I need anybody to love me or for me to love. No one loves me like that and I could care less. That's how it's always been. Besides shit like that always ends in disaster trust me I know."
"But this is different."
"I don't care Seth. Besides it would take some major work and a very very very long time to convince otherwise. And Bella knows that's not easy to do."
"So are you saying there's hope?"
"Maybe."
"Really?"
"No. not really. I'm serious when I say this there's no hope. So drop it."
"Whatever you say Skye. But I'm willing to bet something will happen."
"Yeah right you wish."
Seth dropped it and the rest of the ride went quiet. Once we arrived at the house we all got out and just stared at it. We were kind of nervous we didn't know why. It had been a long time since we had been home.
"Welcome home girls. Come on let's get you inside."
We nodded. We limped our way to the door with the help of Seth of course. We were still hurting so we had to make sure that we phased for awhile till we were all better.
Seth rang the doorbell.
"Coming!" I heard Charlie say. He opened the door and his eyes went wide.
"Dad." I whispered
"Uncle Charlie." Skye whispered.
He snapped out of it and hugged us both at the same time tightly. Afraid to let us go fearing if he did we'd disappear again.
"My girls." he said crying. "I'm so glad you're back home."
"We are too."
"How did you find them?" he asked Seth still hugging us.
"I didn't. Leah, Jake and Paul did. Well mainly Leah the guys just helped."
"Thank you so much." He at last he us go and looked at us stroking our cheeks.
"My god what happened to you? Are you ok?"
"They've been through a lot sir. Maybe when they're ready they'll tell you what happened." said Seth.
"Thank you Seth."
"Well I'll be on my way. I'll see you later."
We waved goodbye he got in the car and left. Charlie led us inside to sit down on the couch. Of course we limped our way there.
"How bad are you hurt?"
"It's pretty bad. Actually it was horrible. Trust me we looked a lot worse than this Uncle Charlie. But we're getting better."
Charlie sat in between us putting his arms around our shoulders.
"What happened?"
"We went to P.A. to hang out and when we were getting ready to come someone grabbed us and injected some kind of fluid in us and knocked us out." I didn't want to tell him the real reason why we were in P.A. I didn't want him to know that we were drinking and that we were wasted when it happened. But I also didn't want to say it was Cullen who kidnapped us. God knows what he'll do. Besides I wanted to tear that bastard apart myself.
"Do you know who it was?"
"It was too dark plus they kept us drugged and sometimes they blindfolded us and taped our mouths up so that we couldn't scream."
I looked at Skye and she caught on quick.
"Yeah Uncle Charlie we didn't know what was going on half the time since they kept us drugged up."
"It's ok. You've been through enough. I understand if you can't give me all the details right away. You're home and that's what matters to me the most. Especially you Skye. I'm really happy to see you again."
"You are?"
"Yeah I was so worried about you. I wanted to do something when Jesse died you know have you come live with me but CPS said I had to wait a long time. I had to file a petition and wait for court dates and that took forever and when the time came you had ran away. I always thought about you and hoping that you were ok. You were like another daughter to me. It was a shame to not know who your mother was."
"Oh don't worry about that I found that out myself."
"Really? Who is it?"
I looked at her and shook my head slightly. She caught it.
"Tell you later."
"Ok. Well Skye you can live here for as long as you want."
"Thanks Uncle Charlie."
"You can use the spare room but we have to buy a bed set for you so for now do you mind sharing a bed with Bella?"
"I don't mind. Whenever I have the chance I'll go buy the bed set."
"That's ok sweetie. I'll buy it."
"Don't sweat it Uncle Charlie I got money. It's cool I got it." she said. He chuckled.
"Alright then. Anyway you girls go on upstairs and get some rest you've been through so much."
No shit I thought. He helped us up the stairs by carrying me on his back and Skye in his arms. I never pegged Charlie to be this strong. Charlie set us down in my room and told us to get some rest while he went to the station.
"When I was knocked out I heard something or someone say payback."
"Oh that. Well after you fainted I got into it with Jake about how he made out with Liz in public and that's when I had put the pieces together thinking that he did that for payback."
"Payback? For what?"
"Cause I kissed Seth at a party 6 months ago and I was drunk when I did it. Talking about really wasted."
Skye thought about it for a second. "What?"
"If I'm your cousin and Seth is my brother wouldn't that make him your cousin too?"
My eyes had nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Oh my god! Oh my god! I kissed my cousin! Fucking gross!"
Skye cracked up laughing. "It's not funny."
"I'm sorry no it's not. You're right." she said. I was glad she stopped. "It's fucking hilarious!"
God I was gonna kick her ass later. "Ok ok I'm sorry Bella chill out. You didn't know. Calm down it's in the past now don't worry about it."
"At least I don't fucking remember doing it." So I put it behind me.
Skye sat down on the bed and sighed. "What's the matter?"
"I don't know I just have this ache inside. A feeling I can't describe. I don't know what it is or why I'm feeling this way."
Something told me the imprint was starting to sink in for her but I didn't want to tell her. I knew what she meant I had it too. A part of me wanted to go back but my mind was still too upset to go. The whole situation just made me feel like shit. It hurt a lot. It was like the whole universe was out to get me the moment I find somewhat of happiness the universe takes it away from me. Like I don't deserve to be happy. Everyone else can be happy except me. Ain't life a bitch?
"Come on let's get some rest." I said.
We took our shoes off and climbed into bed as soon as our head hit the pillow we were out like a light. And there we stayed all day and all night. We were exhausted. I was pretty sure Charlie checked on us a few times to see if we were still there but I didn't bother getting up. I guess he wanted to see if we were ok.
I woke up around 5am for some reason. My injuries were a lot better today. I was able to walk needless to say I was still hurting a little bit. I went to my window it was still pretty dark outside. I just stood there thinking about everything. But one thing I did know was that I had planned to train myself pushing myself harder like never before making me a lot stronger so that when I see that asshole Cullen again I was gonna kill him. And that day starts today and I knew Skye would want to be a part of it. So I went and decided to wake her up.
"Skye. Skye wake up."
She moaned. "What? What do you want Bella?"
"Wanna go for a run?"
"What? Why?"
"So that in the future we can get stronger so that the first chance we see Cullen we can kill him. Tear his ass into oblivion. So you in or out?"
At the mere mention of killing Cullen she jumped up. "Fuck yeah. Let's do it. Let's run."
I went to take off my shirt to put a black sports bra on when Skye said.
"Damn!"
"What?"
"Those assholes really did a number on you Bella. The stitches fell out but the scars are still there. They look like burn scars. It's all over your back."
"Let me see yours." Skye turned around and took off her shirt.
"Shit Skye you too. It's all over. Don't worry we'll kill those fuckers. We just have to take it one day at a time."
"Hell yeah."
I put the black sports bra with black spandex shorts and sneakers. The straps on the bra were very thin therefore you could probably see the scars on my back although with what little I was wearing you can see all the scars since they were pretty much all over my body but I didn't care I didn't give a shit.
And neither did Skye cause she had the exact same sports bra but in dark hunter green and black spandex shorts and sneakers. We both put our hair in ponytails.
"Let me leave a note for Charlie this time to let him know what we're doing." I said. She nodded. I wrote it saying we went for a run and that we will be back soon. I stuck the note to the bathroom mirror knowing that's the first place he'll go before anything.
"Ready?"
"Yeah let's do this." Once outside we stretched our muscles out of course our bodies still hurt but we knew we were gonna push ourselves to the limit everyday.
"Let's run to the cliffs." I said.
"Beat you there." she said as she took off running.
"Cheater!" I ran after her.
We ran and we ran fast and we ran hard. Pushing and testing our limits. The adrenaline was incredible I had never felt so free. The feeling of running even though it hurt but I ignored it it was a feeling I couldn't describe. To run without a care in the world it's exhilarating. I love it. Never again did I want to be held in a basement and never see the light of day again. I swore that I was going to have my revenge and I was going to enjoy it.
We arrived at the cliffs at the same time.
"That felt amazing." I said panting.
"Yeah it's such and adrenaline rush." That's when a light bulb lit up.
"You know what else is a rush?"
"What?"
"Cliff diving. I did it once it was awesome."
"Fuck yeah let's do it. We can cool off that way."
"Let's get a running start first that way when we jump we can just dive in." I said. We walked several feet away.
"You ready?"
"I was born ready Bella.
"Alright on the count of three. 1...2...3!"
We took off running. You'd swear we ran towards the cliff in slow motion but once at the edge we jumped into the air in a swan dive notion. Skye screamed in excitement. She love it I knew she would. We hit the water god how it felt amazing to be free again. I could never get enough of it.
"That was fucking awesome! I loved it!"
We swam back to shore only to be greeted by two of the people we did not want to see today. Don't they ever give up?
"Bella."
"What do you want Black?"
"You're better."
"Yeah I am but I'm left with reminders. Skye too. Now if that's all we're leaving now."
"I need to talk to you."
"I got nothing to say to you."
"I need to talk to you alone." He grabbed my alone and pulled me into the forest nearby. Skye stayed with Paul. God help him before she tears him a new asshole. He was going to have his hands full for the next few minutes.
"What do you want Jake?"
"You need to listen to me Bella. I didn't kiss Liz. She kissed me. I don't want anything to do with her. She means nothing to me. I have no idea why I went out with her in the first place. I must've been out of my mind."
I scoffed now he realizes it.
"Point is I would never do that to you. I love you so much you are my life Bella. It was never about payback. You don't know how worried I was when you were missing when you were gone. I never stopped looking for you. You're it for me Bells. I missed you so much. I never cheated on you. I was just there at the wrong place at the wrong time."
I thought about it and remembered what Seth had said. I knew Seth is never the type of person to lie about such things. So if Seth told the truth that meant so did Jake as well.
"I know."
"What?" He was confused.
"I said I know. I know you were at the wrong place at the wrong time. I know it wasn't about payback."
"But then why…"
"Seth told me yesterday when he took us home."
"You believe him? You believe me?"
"I know Seth and I know he doesn't lie about shit like that so I believe him. I believe you."
Next thing I knew I was being pushed up against a tree. Jake's hand cupped my neck and kissed with such urgency and desperation. Like I was gonna disappear again.
"God Bella I love you so much I'm so sorry." he said in between kisses.
We stopped so that we can catch our breaths. His forehead against mine panting as well.
"I'm sorry I couldn't control myself." He looked into my eyes his forehead still against mine.
"It's ok." Truth was I couldn't control myself either. It was lie I was whole again. I didn't feel empty anymore or alone.
"Can we start over?" he asked quietly.
My mind weighed the pros and cons. And the pros were winning.
"Please?"
"I've been through a lot right now Jake. The things you can't possibly imagine. It's a lot to take in right now a lot to process." He lowered his head in sadness but I wasn't quite finished yet. So I lifted his head so that I would meet his eyes.
"But if we can take it slow then yes we can start over again."
He smiled that smile that I love so much. The one you can never get out of your head. The one that makes you feel like putty in his hands.
"We can take it as slow as you want baby as long as I'm with you I don't care what we do."
For the first time in 6 months I smiled too. He kissed again but more gently and tenderly which left me breathless. The hairs on my back stood up giving me goosebumps. I wanted more but I knew I had to get back to Skye soon. So we pulled back slowly.
"I have to get back to Skye before she kills Paul."
"I know what you mean." he laughed.
We walked back to the beach. By the time we got back Skye had her arms crossed. Looks like we were getting to the end of their conversation.
"Who gives a rat's ass? I don't care about some stupid imprint. I don't need a man in my life. I've always been alone and that's how it'll always be. I don't need love it's a big waste of my fucking time." she said.
"A man did this to me." She pointed at the scars on her body. "I don't need another one to do the same."
"I would never do that to you. What he did to you wasn't right? I could never do that."
She scoffed. "That's what they all say and it's all bullshit. In the end it's just a disappointment and regret. And another scar left on me."
That's when Skye noticed me. "If you're done here I'd like to leave now."
I turned to Jake. "I gotta go now. I have to get back to Charlie. Come on Skye let's go."
"Gladly. Let's run back I need to blow off some steam."
I nodded. We took running again. I hadn't realized that the sun was rising. It must've been getting close to 7am. We must've been running for a couple of hours. It's amazing how time flies. That's when you learn to appreciate life and everybody in it.
You don't know how long it took me to do this chapter it's pretty long. Anyways I'm glad you guys are loving this story I know I am too.
Next Time on "Falling Apart"
Apparently someone had called the cops next thing I knew I heard sirens and then someone getting me off of Liz. I fought them back cause I wanted to beat the living shit out of her some more but more people struggled to get me off of her.
Me and Skye were pushed down onto the hood of a cop car face down to hand cuff us. Then pulled us by the back of our shirts.
"My name is Deputy Samson. You know what you did here is serious."
"Who gives a flying fuck? They got what they deserve." I said with an attitude.
Please review you know I always love them. You guys are always the best and I can always count on you.
Sincerely:
