Chapter Eleven: The Debt Everyone Must Pay
I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in such a long time! Thank you for your patience, and while this might not be the BEST chapter, it was good for getting things rolling again. And I also expect a review from EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU, OR I WON'T UPDATE UNTIL AFTER VALENTINE'S DAY!
I forced my eyes open in time to see the creatures rip the windows open and pour into the room.
"Lie down on the ground on your stomach!" Simon roared.
I did so, hearing the screeches and whimpering unconsciously as the pain numbed my mind. However, as I laid there, it ended. I opened my eyes that had forced themselves closed once again to find Simon standing right beside me with his arms spread wide. The harpies lay docile, all of them standing with their wings tucked in, their heads bowed.
"What…?" I asked.
"They will not harm you, Bella. However, the world must be cleansed." He said, and let his hands fall.
In that instant, the creatures lurched forward, ripping apart the room. The pain struck me and I cried out, my mind rushing so quickly that my body went limp, no longer under my control. I slipped off the edge of sanity, only to find that my fingers gripped the side tightly, not letting go.
I fought with the pain as my eyes fought to stay open, my body thrashing without my consent.
"Simon, stop this!" I screamed.
However, it was over before the words left my mouth. I opened my eyes to see the harpies straining against some unseen wall. Simon's hands were spread wide, and I knew instantly that he was the cause for this.
"B-Bella, run." He said through gritted teeth.
"Why? They're your creatures; call them off!" I cried.
He shook his head.
"No, they aren't. They have been sent by a divine force to cleanse this corrupt world. I can't hold them off much longer; you have to go!" He said.
I looked at him in shock, realizing that he had only been trying to help me this entire time, also realizing what was about to happen to him.
"Simon, I can help!" I cried, "I can help you, and we can both get out of here!"
He chuckled.
"I'm sorry Bella; that won't work. You aren't strong enough yet; you won't be able to fight them."
I felt a tear slide down my cheek as I realized that this was the last time I would see him.
"Simon, there has to be something…"
"Bella!"
I turned to see Jacob shift from his wolf form and run through the invisible field that was protecting me.
"Come on! You aren't safe here." He said, grabbing me.
"But, Simon…" I whispered.
He shook his head.
"There's nothing we can do. Thank you for protecting her, Simon. I'm sorry that I never trusted you."
Simon shrugged, blood dripping from his nose.
"No problem. Just please, hurry out. I'm to my breaking point."
Jake grabbed me up and hurried out of the invisible field.
"Simon!" I cried, reaching out for him as he disappeared through the waves of harpies.
Suddenly, as we got through the swarm of beasts, they rushed forward, right at the man. There were screeches of pain, and then all of the harpies burst, their bones slamming through their flesh. I screamed as Jacob took me away, all of the harpies dead, no one in the building that had been decimated.
I sobbed against Jacob as he carried me back to our apartment. He had brought sweats with him and had pulled them on before we entered the building. He gently laid me down on our bed when we finally got there, getting up to leave. However, I reached out, pulling him down onto the bed. He was all that was keeping me stable.
"Please, Jacob, don't leave." I whimpered.
He nodded, holding me against his chest. I pulled away slightly and leaned up, pressing my lips against his. He kissed me back, and my hands weaved into his hair. I began to kiss him more forcefully, and I slid my hands down to slide his sweats off.
He pulled back, looking into my eyes.
"Bella, is right now really the best time?" He asked.
I nodded, returning to press my lips against his, shoving his sweats off. He pulled back again, searching my eyes.
"Jacob, please." I begged.
He nodded, capturing my lips again, kicking his sweats completely off. His hands worked my top off, my own hands pulling off my pants. He snapped my bra off and cupped my breasts, gently massaging them. I got up and got onto his lap, straddling him. He laid his hands on my hips, and I slowly slid myself down onto his manhood.
He grunted and I slowly slid on and off of it, moaning and tilting my head back. He slowly massaged my breasts as I rode him quickly, shoving myself down just as I barely got up.
"J-Jake." I gasped.
He put his hands behind his head, my hands running over his muscular chest and pinching a nipple firmly, leaning down and taking it into my mouth. He groaned and I rode his even faster, his hands weaving into my hair.
Sex that day was like a whirlwind, pleasure pulsing through both of us as we became nothing more than gasping, sweaty masses. Finally I came with a cry, falling onto Jake who filled me with his sweet essence.
"T-Thank you." I whispered.
"Y-Your…welcome." He gasped, pulling out and holding me tightly.
We fell asleep together, neither of us worrying about the harpies or anything else. In that moment, Jacob Black was all that mattered. Death was a debt everyone must pay; Simon's time just came too soon.
