Chapter 14

Disclaimer: I do not own twilight or any of its characters.

AN: hey guys, I know I haven't updated so much and I'm really sorry about it. I just haven't been in the writing mood. I've had a lot on my mind for the past couple of weeks. I hope that everyone reading is still interested in my stories. Oh and I have been looking for a job because I need some money to spend on my self. I'm still not sure how I am going to end this story. So if anyone has any ideas send me a message or review.

Bella's POV

I faced Victoria not even wincing when she barred her teeth at me. It impressed me to see that she had not run out of town when she caught the scent of the newly arrived Cullen's. From her tactics I assumed she would have run before they had time to notice she was here still trying to kill me. A slow smile spread across my lips and Victoria snarled, getting angrier by the second.

She lunged at me and I put up a wall of energy that she could not get through. She repeatedly tried to get through the wall but was unsuccessful. I was having fun seeing her try to get to me and grow angrier and angrier at each failed attempt. I could hear the running footsteps of the Cullen's and I didn't turn to see them appear. I knew they were there when Victoria's eyes grew wide. She turned, about to run but I made sure she couldn't move a muscle.

"Bella be careful." I heard Edward say behind me. I instantly got angry, what right did he have to tell me to be careful. He had made it plainly clear that he did not want anything to do with me and here he was trying to act like he cared if something happened to me.

"Shut up." I snarled at him loosing my concentration. Victoria sensing the wall go down, lunged at me but Edward lunged himself at her. I loud roar emitted from the both of them. "NO!" I screamed and separated the two of them, faster than they could blink. I set Edward down next to his family and threw Victoria into a near by tree. I focused all my energy into making her crash into anything possible. I could feel myself getting weak but I didn't care. Edward and the rest of them kept trying to grab Victoria but I would move her out of there grasps. Alice ran up to me and grabbed me squeezing me by the arms.

"Bella stop." She screamed but I didn't meet her gaze or even listen for that matter. I could feel inside my bones that the pack was on its way. All I had to do was wait just a bit longer. Just keep them all occupied a bit longer and then I could rest. I felt my eye lids dropping and my strength dissolve into nothing. I struggle to keep my eyes open but it was so hard. I could feel my head pounding and my heart beat slowing. I felt myself fall and the impact of the earth next to my body. Everything was becoming blurry and I heard roars and a loud painful scream which made me wince. I opened my eyes and could only see darkness. I could hear everything that was going on around me but no matter how many times I blinked or rubbed my eyes nothing happened.

I realized after a second that Charlie had told me that this would happen if I ended up using too much energy at the same time. I smelled something burning and then felt a nudge of a wet nose next to my cheek. I turned my head towards the werewolf standing over me.

"I'm ok." I said weakly. "Did you hurt the Cullen's?" I asked. I felt another wet nudge. I took that as a yes and felt my chest crush inside me. I couldn't breath. Before I could really start to freak out I felt a cold hand on my cheek and a whisper.

"We're ok." I heard Edward say. I felt a shiver roll its way down my back. I took in a small intake of breath and scooted away from him, making sure that I wasn't touching him. My body yearned for his touch and yet I wanted to be as far away from him at the same time. I couldn't understand this logic.

"Jake," I said and I heard him walk to stand next to me. "I need you to take me home. I can't see. So you might have to carry me." I said. He licked my face and I moved to wipe it off.

"Ew Jake, cooties." I said jokingly. I guess this meant that he had forgiven me for the whole incident earlier when the Cullen's had arrived. I felt completely guilty for hurting him like that. Now I could make it up to him.

"Wait, what's wrong with you?" Carlisle said obviously thinking he could fix it.

"Nothing," I said and reached out to find Jake. I felt the warm touch of his fur and he gently nudged me up till I was straddling his back. Without even saying goodbye, I let Jake take me home. As soon as my head hit the soft pillow of my bed I feel asleep.
