PAUL POV
"I'm falling." I said to her.
"Me too Paul…me too." And she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
I laid there watching for a while. She had a small smile on her face and every few minutes the corner of her mouth turned up.
Reflecting on the events of the last few hours, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Bella took the imprint news well, hell she even let me kiss her, which was by far better than any I've ever had before.
I tuned, laying on my back staring at the stars. I've been on this cliff many nights the last few years. But now it was different. I shared it with someone. But not just anyone. Bella. It made it feel more complete. I was ecstatic knowing she loved this place as much as me.
During my mental ramblings, Bella started scooting closer. Reaching her hand out. Searching. She found what she was looking for when she slowly rested her legs between mine, and rested her head on my chest. She rested her arm over my torso. This is how we belong. No worries. Just….us.
"Paul?' I heard coming from behind me.
"Yeah Sam?" I said.
"Jake caught a scent." He said. Just my fucking luck.
"Why the fuck now? I've been waiting for some action a long time, and tonight of all fucking nights one decides to show up." I whispered. Getting angrier and angrier by the minute.
"I know man, I'm sorry, but I need you out there. The younger ones are all in bed and have school tomorrow. Wake Bella up and take her home. I'll meet you behind my house in an hour." He said, and then he turned and walked away.
Man this is the shit I'm talking about. I finally get the girl, but I have to wake her up, take her home, and go track a fucking bloodsucker. Talk about piss poor luck.
"Bella…Bella hunny, come on, you have to get up." I said rubbing my hand up and down her back.
"Just a few more minutes." She said, making me laugh.
"Come on Bella. I have to go patrol. I need to take you home."
"Fine!" she said opening her eyes and sitting up.
"Come on." I said standing and reaching for her hand, pulling her up with me.
We made it back to my car without incident. And reached her place in a couple of minutes.
"I had a really nice time tonight Paul." She said as I walked her to her door.
"Me too Bella, I'm sorry I have to cut this short." I said.
"No. Its okay. I know you have to work. I'll see you tomorrow right?"
"Of course. I'll see you tomorrow," and I leaned over and gave her a quick kiss. Lingering as long as I could.
"Goodnight Paul." She said pulling away, turning and walking through the front door.
Turning and running to my car I hoped in and made my way to Sam's house. When I got there I turned it off, jumped out quick and ran into the woods, stripping off my clothes quickly, I phased.
"Lets get this the fuck over with." I said
"We picked up the scent going towards Forks." said Jake.
"We cant go into Forks. The treaty." I said.
"The treaty is in affect when the Cullen's are here. They haven't been here in over 10 years." Sam said.
"Well lets go hunting then." I said.
We all turned and headed in the direction the scent led. The scent seemed to lead us around in circles.
"I'm getting that to Paul." Jared said.
"Split up. Jake you come with me. Paul you go with Jared." Sam said
We split up, both groups running in different directions. After tracking the scent for about half an hour Jared picked up on a fresh trail. Minutes old. And it fucking reeked. Bleach and sugar.
"We're on our way." Sam said.
A few minutes later we were joined by Jake and Sam, and we headed in the direction the fresh trail went. Not but ten minutes later, we were standing in a small meadow, not two-hundred feet from a fucking leech.
"I'm going to phase back. He looks like he wants to talk." Sam said, running behind one of the trees.
He came out a few minutes later, standing between Jared and Jake. I was on Jared's right.
"Why are you here?" Sam said.
"I'm looking for something of great value to my coven." He said
"Who are you?" replied Sam
I wanted to rip this motherfucker to shreds. We haven't had any action in a long time.
"Me too Paul, but we have to figure out why he is here." Jared thought
"My name is Laurent." He said.
"And why are you here?" Sam said.
"I was sent here by a member of my coven. I'm looking for someone very important to us. The girl has close ties to the mates killer. It is only right that this girl be killed. You know, a mate for a mate."
"Is this girl human?" Sam asked.
"Yes." he replied.
"Who is this girl you are looking for?"
"She moved here not long ago. From the south."
I froze. He cant be talking about her.
"What's her name?" Sam asked.
"Isabella. Bella for short."
Fuck I'm going to kill him.
"Paul calm down." Jake said.
"Are you fucking serious. He just said he was here to kill Bella."
"I know move up on his left, I'll take is right."
We both lunged at the same time, we each grabbed an arm and ripped it away from his body. The metallic ripping sound becoming music to my ears. Jared tried to come up on his front but the leech kicked him back into one of the trees. Dropping his arm on the ground I jumped behind him and grabbed him by the back of his head tearing it from his shoulders. Sam already had the fire going, so I walked up and dropped the head in. Jake came up from behind me and dropped in his torso while Sam went and grabbed his arms. Jared came out of the tree line as the purple flames shot in the air.
"I missed it again. Fuck, one of these days I'm going to at least get a limb off of one of those fuckers."
Jared always seemed to miss the action I thought laughing.
"Yeah yeah laugh it up fucker."
"Enough!" Sam said. We didn't even here him phase.
"That's because you two dip shits were bickering." He said.
"We've got bigger problems right now, and we need to get back to LaPush." He said.
We all turned tail (no pun intended) and ran back to LaPush. Phased and went into Sam's house.
Walking into the house and sitting on one of the chairs, there was only one thing running through my head.
What isn't she telling me? And why the fuck was he after her? I needed answers.
Let me know what you think.
