"What do you mean you can't see?" Paul's sudden appearance startled me.

"When Vinnie shocked her, it must have sent her body into a state of shock and her eyesight suffered." I had no idea Samira was here.

The familiar sensation of being healed covered my burned arm. "Will her sight come back?"

"I-I don't know." Samira stuttered, sounding almost as terrified as I was. Almost. "I'll get a healer to come and see what they can do. It'll be a few days before they can get here, though. So, until then, Mason, you'll need to do healing sessions on her eyes."

"But, I don't think I can heal something that isn't a flesh wound." Mason hesitated.

"You will have to try." Samira demanded.

"Who was the asshole?" Jacob asked.

With all these sudden appearances, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole damn Cullen Clan showed up.

I sighed. "He's my ex-boyfriend, Vinnie." I muttered as I tried to stand up.

A warm hand gently grabbed my arm to steady me.

"Thanks- um…" I couldn't tell exactly who it was. I knew it had to be one of the wolves though.

"It's Paul." There was something I've never heard in his voice before. It was a lot softer than usual. He didn't have any sign of an attitude. "Do you want me to just take you home?"

I nodded. "But, I can't really give directions because…"

"Oh, yeah. I'll ask one of your brothers." He pulled his arm around my shoulders to help guide me to either Oliver or Mason. I wasn't sure which one he was trying to find.

I kind of got lost in my thoughts as Paul was driving me home. What if I never saw anything ever again? I'd never see the sun, Mason, Oliver, or Paul. Wait, why did I care if I saw Paul again or not? I barely know the guy. Yet, here I was, worried that I never see his face again. What was going on with me?

"Where's your room?" Paul asked suddenly, pushing me out of my thoughts.

I sighed. Before, I loved having my room in the basement, now it was going to be a pain. "It's in the basement."

"I'm about to carry you down there. So, don't freak when I pick you up." Paul told me softly before putting an arm underneath my knees and back.

He quickly carried me downstairs. As he did that, I noticed that I was actually warmer than he was. "I'm gonna sit you on your couch, okay?"

"Yeah, that's fine."

After he sat me down, I felt him sit beside me and it was like the reality was starting to kick in. The girl that I looked at as a sister just betrayed me for my asshole ex-boyfriend. Also, I was blinded and for all I know, I got even another scar. But, this one will be much more noticeable.

The feeling of tears was quickly came and they fell before I had the chance to stop them.

A warm hand, Paul's hand, was on my shoulder. "Are you crying?"

"I can't help it! You'd be crying too if you were suddenly blinded!" I snapped feeling unlike myself. "Sorry. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do with myself now."

"No, you don't have a reason to say sorry. That bastard does." Paul growled.

I found myself leaning into his side; I just needed someone right now. "The Guardians will take care of it, hopefully."

Paul wrapped his arm around me and moved me closer. "Who are they?"

"Like the vampires have rules and people to enforce them, so do we. The Guardians take care of situations like these. Vinnie is already on their bad side. I'll be shocked if they don't make him face prison this time." I stopped myself before I started rambling even more.

"Nikkole, what did he do to you last time?" Paul's voice was soft, like he was afraid of how I would react to this question or to anything right now. He was right to be nervous. I was in a fragile spot right now.

"He burned me. Mason was able to heal most of it but, there are still a few scarred spots on my back. That's why he got shipped off." I mumbled not wanting to even think about the jackass.

Even though I barely know Paul, I didn't want him to leave. For some reason, I felt like if he did leave, I'd break down. My room would suffer from another one of my freak outs. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure. What is it?"

I sighed and tried to look over at him. Which was probably not even near were his face was. The whole eye contact thing probably wasn't going to happen for a while. "I know you don't really owe me anything and I wouldn't blame you, if you say no to this. But, could you stay here? I don't know why, I just don't want you to leave."
