Chapter 10
Sam POV
Sam carried Seth back to the reservation and called Dr Cullen to come and attend to him. Dr. Cullen arrived directly from the hospital and started to tend to Seth's wounds. "It will take a few days but I think he will be fine Sam." Said Dr. Cullen. "Edward and Jacob and the rest of the pack are cleaning up the mess and will return soon. Victoria slipped away while we were fighting her creations." Said Sam. "Sam, said Dr. Cllen, I have been unable to get a hold of anyone at my house. Could you stop there and update them and tell them I will be here for a day or so." "Sure" said Sam.
Sam arrived at the Cullen's home he was slowly & cautiously walking up the front steps when Bella opened the front door and staggered out he reached out and caught her. She was a mess her hair was all over and her clothing, what little there was left, was torn to shreds. She was sobbing hysterically now and clinging to Sam. Sam was, at the same time, hit with the smell of vampire that clung to her heavily. Sam picked Bella up and laid her out on the ground noticing the starting of several bruises in telling places around her body. Sam's teeth clenched as he asked the question he did not want to know the answer to.
"Bella, who did this to you?" Bella looked up with tears running down her face and glanced towards the front doors of the Cullen's house. Just as Emmitt and Jasper staggered out both pulling on clothing quickly. Jasper held up a hand and began to plead with Sam to hear them out. Sam knowing he must protect Jacob's love did not stop to listen. He grabbed Bella and as he started to run snarled back to the two leeches. "And you call us animals. We will be back".
Jasper and Emmitt could only stagger and call out to Sam in their dazed fog. Sam ran through the forest not sure what to do with Bella. Charlie was gone; could he explain to Carlisle what his boys had done calmly? There would be a war for sure he knew. As he ran he became more and more aware of how good Bella smelled and how soft her skin was against his. He shook his head to clear it. What was he thinking?
Sam decided to take Bella to the cabin in the woods that the pack used for supplies and emergencies. He would take her there and get calmed down then decide what his next step would be. He looked down at Bella realizing she was no longer sobbing as she had passed out. Arriving at the cabin Sam took Bella in and tried to lay her on the bed without waking her. The second Bella's battered body touched the soft comforter her eyes fluttered open and her eyes went wide and frantic. Ssssam? Bella looked around panicked Jacob where's Jacob? Bella started to sob. "Shhh its ok Bella" Sam said soothingly. "Jacob and Edward will be back soon. Bella, "Sam ran a hand through his short cropped hair" I have to ask what happened back there?" Bella looked up into Sam's eyes tears running down her face. "Sam I…. I don't know. I was sick it hurt real bad I went there trying to find Carlisle but he was gone. "Bella sobbed " He is tending to Seth Bella he will be back before Jacob and Edward. But Bella look at you. I don't understand.
Bella looked confused now. "I am not sure everything got fuzzy and I" Bella sobbed into her hands Sam's heart breaking with assumptions reached out to comfort Bella pulling her into his arms. All thought of Emily suddenly vanishing Sam shuddered. Bella leaned into him and her scent became intoxicating. His head was swimming. Bella through her sobbing began to breathe deeply of Sam's scent. Her body reacted violently with need. Bella clutched herself to Sam.
