I have been slowly trying to make the chapters longer for everyone. I have also been trying to complete these chapters ahead of time so that I can have a rather consistent upload rate. I would like to thank everyone that has followed and favorited this story so far. I hope that the story is still entertaining for you all. I am going to try and make it a longer story, and am trying to use both the movies and my own side missions for this story. If anyone has any ideas just let me know! Your help would be greatly appreciated. Now I'll let you get back to the story.
~Brooklyn's point of view~
It was the day of the fight, and Jacob had tried to convince Sam to make me go with them. I had refused whenever Sam had asked me, and he didn't argue with my choice. I know that Jacob was worried for me, but at the same time I wasn't going to just sit around while he was hanging all over Bella at the top of the mountain. The minutes were going by excruciatingly slow, and I knew that Edward and the others were already located at the top of the mountain.
Sam had given us the order to stay in wolf form at all times, so that we could hear what each of us was thinking. The only one that was allowed to go into their human form until this was over was Jacob, due to Bella. I had been informed that Seth had also gone with the group of them to provide extra protection. I was ready, and my tail was wagging in anticipation.
"You don't need to be so happy about a battle."
Sam was laughing at me, but he knew that I couldn't help it. He knew almost more than anyone just how badly I wanted to kill some of these leeches. The idea of protecting the town was there as well, but I could get the satisfaction of that any time, the thrill of the hunt was the best part. I knew the boys were surprised with just how strongly my bloodlust was for the leeches.
"I can smell them coming get ready."
No sooner did Embry point that out, the Cullen that could see visions said the same thing. It wasn't just a fluke. I had started growling, and my canines were showing. I took a step back when I saw the leader of the newborn army though. Standing in front of us was Jared.
"That is Jared! "
The others were instantly on guard more. Something was missing still though. There was supposed to be one more. The redheaded vampire was not with them. My eyes darted back and forth across the battlefield, and there was no mistaking that she wasn't with them.
"The redhead isn't here. You don't think that they went after the others did you?"
"They will be fine, they have two of our own, plus one of the Cullen's there."
That's right. I was getting worked up for nothing. I settled back into place. I was ready for the word to attack, when Jared started talking.
"Seems as though the little pup lived after all. I decided to come and see when I heard about all these newborns. You have too many allies around for me today, but I will be back for you little pup."
My ears fell flat onto my head. How did he know about the newborns? Who exactly was his boss? I took a step forward, before he took off running. I had no idea that he was that fast. What did I do to get these vampires to dislike me? I didn't have time to continue to brew on the idea of it all, Sam had given the go-ahead to start attacking. The newborns were quick, but the Cullen's had been faster, so it seemed as though they were barely moving. Each move they threw, we blocked and soon their numbers started to diminish. I have no idea what they were so worried about when it came to the Newborns. The only problem with all of them, was the idea that there were so many of them.
Then I saw that some of the pack was having trouble. It seems as though they were going in for the obvious kills. I saw Paul being wrapped around the middle by one, but before he could get squeezed, Jasper came and saved him. I let a quick sigh of relief out before continuing my fighting. On occasion I had looked over to Sam, and he too, seemed to be having an issue with the newborns. The more that I looked around the more I seen the others having issues with the newborns. Why were they having such an issue?
Seth's sister, Leah, was having some of the most problems with them. I went over to help her, and she seemed to be thankful that she finally had a small chance to catch her breathe. I had continued to fight a lot of them, before the numbers were down to the single digits. I smirked to myself as I ran at the last one that was in view. When I bit his head off, it was enough to send a chill down my spine of delight. The thought that I had the power to kill off these evil creatures satisfied me to no end.
During the whole time that I was fighting, I hadn't noticed that Jacob had entered the battle field. I was too busy fighting, and enjoying myself. Everyone had started to settle down, but when I finally let out a sign, I turned to see Leah fighting one. I had no idea where that one had even come from. It had her around the neck, and before anyone else could jump into action, Jacob was there beside her. He pushed Leah out of the way, and she just growled at him. I thought that the whole thing was over until I heard a sickening crunch. My eyes widened, and I watched as Jacob phased back into his human form and howling in pain. I hadn't noticed the others finish off the vile beast that did it to him. His face was contorted into so much pain. I don't know why I couldn't move from the spot that I was standing.
The others had phased back to their human forms to move him. I didn't know what to do. Carlisle said that he would be over when some old vampires left the battlefield. I was practically pushed off the battlefield. I was the only one that hadn't phased back into my human form. My tail was between my legs, and the only thing that I could see was Jacob's pained face. I followed the others, not fast, but agonizing slow. Each bump that the others made, made him scream out even more.
My stomach almost betrayed me the whole way back to Jacob's house. I didn't even notice where I was, but I know that I was sick to my stomach. Why was I feeling like this? My head was spinning, and I didn't know what to do. Sam finally came up to me and put a hand on either side of my face. and made me look at him in the eyes.
"You need to phase back…"
I didn't even know if I could. I tried, and apparently I did it because I could see my hands again, but there was a downfall to phasing back. I went to the nearest bush that was available, and emptied the contents of my stomach.
"Why is this affecting me so much?"
I didn't mean to say that out loud, but Sam had heard me.
"It's because your imprint is seriously injured, and even if you don't think that you like him. Your soul is telling you that you love him. You are physically sick with worry and you can, in a sense, feel the pain that he is in."
I stood up straight, and hoped that my stomach wouldn't betray me again. I saw the worried look on Embry's face. I must have looked terrible, but it couldn't be as bad as I felt. I was so out of it, I didn't see that Carlisle had come over now. I only noticed him once one of the others opened the door to where Jacob was. I was panicking even more, what was he going to say? Then I heard Jacob scream out in agony again, and I heard some more cracking. I started to pace, what was happening?
"Brooke you are going to make yourself again."
Embry placed a hand on my shoulder, but I was acting like a wild animal that was backed into the corner. I feel that if I was in my wolf form I would be panting and foaming out the mouth. I heard a truck pulling up to the house, and looked over to see Edward and Bella. I growled, none of this happened if there wasn't stupid blood leeches. I continued to pace, ignoring the stare that Bella was giving me. I stopped only whenever the door opened again when Carlisle opened the door to the house.
"How is he?"
Bella was the first one to ask whenever he walked out. I threw a quick glance over my shoulder before listening intently to what Carlisle was going to say.
"All the bones on his right side were crushed, and due to his super healing I had to re-break all the bones and set them again. I gave him some morphine now, but his intense body heat will burn it off within a couple hours. I need to run back to the hospital to get some more morphine for him. Call me if he needs anything else."
The others sighed out in relief, but for some reason I wasn't completely convinced.
"Brooklyn, he will be fine. It will take him a bit to heal completely, but his life isn't endangered anymore."
I looked up to Carlisle with almost pleading eyes, before I flopped down onto the ground. I pulled my knees up to my chest, before I felt a hand on my shoulder again. In the meantime, Bella had walked into the house and was visiting with the injured Jacob.
I felt soothing circles on my back and seen that both Embry and Paul were standing with me now, and Sam was walking over to me. Sam knew better than anyone about the pain that I was feeling. He had accidently hurt Emily, because he couldn't control his anger. He feels guilty all the time, and Emily knows that he does so she tries her hardest not to let it get her down.
"Brooke you can go in and see him now if you want. Bella has left."
I nodded and shakily got to my feet and walked over to the door. Billy was looking over to me with what seemed like pity in his eyes as well. He must have known that I had imprinted on Jacob. When I entered the house and entered the room that he was in, my breath hitched in my throat. He was still wearing a slightly uncomfortable face, but it was a lot better than it was before. He was covered in sweat, but he was clearly asleep with the rate of his breathing. He wasn't in a shirt, and they managed to slip a pair of boxers over him. I sighed, and walked over to him and just stared at his face. I knew that I wanted to be angry, to feel as though I didn't care, but the fact was that I liked him….maybe I even loved him.
Sitting beside the bed was a pan that was full of water and a cloth. I knew that it was there to wipe up the sweat, so I grabbed the rag and wrung it out. I gently dabbed his skin with the cool, damp cloth. He stirred, and it made me jump lightly.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you."
"It's alright. You didn't get injured did you?"
He was injured, couldn't move, and he was still asking me if I was alright. He was crazy. I looked at him in disbelief. I growled to myself, and looked down at my feet in guilt.
"Bella was in here earlier, and she told me goodbye. I know that I screwed up with you Brooklyn…"
"You… You can call me Brooke again if you want.."
"Thank you Brooke, I will try hard to fix what I have done. Please just give me a chance to make it up to you. I need some time to myself for a while though, I hope you understand. Bella likes me like a brother, and not a lover. She loves that leech."
"I know Jaco…Jake. I don't want you to rush anything but I will give you a chance to show to me that you are willing to change. I will be watching so you know."
I turned from the room, and went back outside. The room was starting to get too stuffy for me at the moment. I needed to find Embry. I needed him to talk to for the moment. I ran to him as soon as I spotted him. I jumped at him and placed my head on his chest and let out the tears that I have been desperately holding in.
"Are you alright Brooke?"
"Embry I am so confused at the moment. What should I do?"
He didn't reply to me and I knew that he couldn't answer it for me. He pulled me closer and let me finish crying into his chest. Everything was so confusing at the moment, and I didn't know what to do about it.
"I think that you should stay with him."
I knew that he was correct, and that I needed to find the answer to all of this myself. When I finally finished crying he let me go and I went back into the room and looked at the sleeping Jake. His face was in a better position than it was earlier, and I was relieved for that. I brought in a chair from another room and sat, almost as if watching over him. I didn't feel myself getting drowsy, and I didn't notice letting myself drift asleep.
~Flashback with Carlisle third person~
Carlisle had just came to the house where the other werewolves had brought Jacob. Before Carlisle even entered the house, he saw the one girl pacing around franticly. He had remembered Bella saying something along the lines of Jacob being imprinted to this one girl. That must have been his imprint. When he entered the building only the boy's father was in the room. He didn't speak a word, and just gave Carlisle a pleading look. He didn't have to ask the Doctor again, before he went to work. They knew that the bones had to be re-broke. Through the whole process, they would hear the injured boy talking about how this was nothing compared to the pain that he must have put his imprint through. He was in agonizing pain, but the thought of her seemed to numb the pain slightly for him.
When they were finished, he didn't want anything more than to see the girl that he was talking about the whole process. Carlisle was still impressed with the amount of pain that he went through and was still thinking about the girl. When they walked back out of the house, the girl had clearly seen better days. She was on the verge of making herself sick with worry. They all noticed that Bella had went into the house with the injured boy, and not long after came walking out. It was now the girls turn. Carlisle seemed to know that she needed an extra push, and mentioned that she should go in and see him. She didn't waste any time and walked into the room.
