Paul ~ POV:

"That sounds like fun" She leaned up and kissed my lips again holding the kiss longer than. I wouldn't mind kissing her forever she was . . . . . magnificent.

"Sleep tight my princess" I whispered squeezing her small hand in my large hot one once more. I couldn't fight the smile spreading across my lips. I could hear her talking to Charlie about getting up. I walked back into the forest, stripped and phased. I trotted back to La Push taking my sweet time.

I stopped at the La push and Cullen territory border. I looked back in the direction of Bella's house I whimpered slightly. I missed her already even though I knew she was safe.

Paul how's she doing? I looked up to see Sam and Embry watching me with wolfy grins across their faces.

She's fine. So what do ya need? I barked a laugh when their mouths dropped slightly. What?

Nothing, I've just never seen you so polite. Sam shook his head before getting back to business. I decided since you are all goo goo eyes you would need something to distract you so you and Embry are on patrol for the night.

I shrugged my shoulders and went over to Embry. Let's get a move on than shall we?

Sure whatever you say, and now that you left your little princess in the capable hands of her king, I stopped and growled at Embry.

Do you enjoy listening in to things you are not supposed to? I asked shaking my head.

I was bored and Jacob was off bugging Kim and Jarrod.

Okay, okay whatever so you head in that direction and I'll head this way okay? Meet up here when you are done. He nodded and headed to the right. I started running to the left and thinking about my girl. I was starting to think about how her lips felt on mine when I came across a vampire scent. My head whipped in that direction and I started running. What if it was the same vampire as last time? I lifted my head and howled loudly.

I broke through some trees and landed in a small creek, I looked around and saw a flash of red deeper into the forest. Without even thinking I snarled and started running towards it. I was closing in and my nose was on fire, it smelled like bleach was being placed right under my nose. It burned so bad but I kept running after the leech. I howled again because it didn't seem to me like anybody was listening. I jumped over a fallen tree launching myself further forward as my back legs came in contact with the ground. I was closing in on her and fast.

She started realizing this and turned around snarling at me. I halted and growled at her barring my teeth and getting in an attack position. I shifted from paw to paw uneasily. I jumped with a second's hesitation and ripped her shirt slightly. She hissed at me and I growled back. She jumped at me and caught me across the chest, I yelped in pain and jumped back. Before I knew it she was attacking again but I was more ready and held the defensive. I bit her arm whenever I got the chance but I was never able to rip her off. "Let go you bloody mutt!"

I snarled at her and she flung me back into a tree. I jumped up and with the help of the tree shot myself forward in attack I got her in the leg I bit down and shook my head around viciously tried my best to rip her limb off. She punched me in the head and I let go immediately. I started backing up slowly, my vision was blurring in and out but I had to remember to stay focused. If I failed now I might not even have the chance to have a single date with my Bella.

My back legs gave out and I fell onto my side, I guess the blow to the head did more damage than I thought. I watched as she stalked forward to me and smiled evilly. She knelt down beside me and ran her fingers through my fur at my neck, I growled at her in a weak warning to get back. My vision was blotching and getting fuzzier as the seconds ticked by; my hearing had disappeared completely by this point for some reason. She opened her mouth and I saw the venom glistening of her teeth. I closed my eyes tightly praying Bella would be safe without me but it never came. I slowly opened my eyes to see the vampire running and Sam walking over to me trying to tell me something that I couldn't hear.

Before I knew what was happening I was being sucked into the dark feeling of numbness, I felt my body phase back and that was it.

When I woke up I was laying down on something soft and I could feel someone putting something gooey and disgusting on my chest. I opened my eyes and groaned when the light blinded me. I heard someone giggle and looked over to see Emily smiling at me and putting the disgusting goop on my chest. I looked down and saw that my entire chest was blue. My eyes widened. "What the hell . . . . . . . ?" I trailed off as Emily giggled again.

"Sam brought you here and you're chest wasn't healing for some reason, so I made up some of my special healing recipe and here we are." I groaned again.

I was falling asleep again when a thought struck me. I sat up straight and accidently knocked Emily off the bed. "Crap I'm so sorry Emily." She laughed heartily and I offered her my hand to help her up. "Again sorry but Emily, I need you to tell me what time it is."

Emily looked down at her watch and looked back up at me curiously. "It's six after seven, why?"

I got out of bed hissing in pain when it jostled my chest a lot. "I have to go and get Bella."

I grabbed one of Sam's button-up shirts and put it on making sure it didn't stick to the goop. "When does this shit come off?"

Emily rolled her eyes. "When I say so, now go and get that beautiful girl of yours."

I smiled and kissed her cheek thanking her. "Oh and go talk to Sam I think he wants to talk to you quick." She yelled after me.

I ran into the kitchen where I could smell the guys. I walked in the door to see Embry with his head in his hands. "I'm sorry I didn't think he would actually find a vampire. I thought after he chased the last one away they would stay away, I guess I was wrong."

"Your right Embry you didn't think! And now look he in serious danger of dying and what are we supposed to tell Bella?" Jarrod yelled.

"Well you could start by telling her how stupid you guys are and then head into how I'm perfectly fine and am late for our date." I smirked at them.

Embry shot up and hugged me I kind of just stood there "Okay you can let go now. My chest still hurts you know?"

He jumped back and apologized.

After another half hour of talking I was off to have my date with Bella. My chest and head hurt but I felt a lot better than I did before. I made it to the door and walked up the stairs and onto the porch. I knocked and smiled when I saw it opening slowly and I could hear my beautiful Bella breathing.
