Chapter 14: Flashback of Pain

BPOV

Pain. Fucking intense pain all over my whole body was the first thing to come to my mind when the numbing blackness finally faded away.

I could not move my body at all except to open my eyes when I heard the most beautiful voice in the world call my name. I looked through the slits that my eyes were able to pry open and saw my Paul looking at me with pain and relief in his eyes. I could not comprehend what happened to me for a few minuets until I remembered why I was in such intense pain.

**Flashback**

"Hello Isabella"

"Hello Victoria" I hissed back at my captor.

She looked the same as the last time I saw her in the baseball clearing. Bright messy red hair that looked like it was on fire. Black eyes that showed that she was thirsty and they were staring at me with pure hatred and disgust.

"I have been waiting a year to get revenge for my mate's death at the hands of your Edward, Isabella did you know that?" Victoria started to explain in her baby like voice.

"He is not my Edward any more. He left me for your knowledge; and how would I know what you have been doing for the past year I am not a fucking psychic." I informed her in a flat tone.

"Really, that's too bad because if you were you might have been able to save your worthless little life before we came to claim it. I guess Edward is smarter than I gave him credit for than, if he knew being with a human is so below him that he finally smartened up and left. Before we get down to what I have been salivating for, for so long let me introduce you to my new coven. Of course you already know Laurent. This is Irina she is Laurent's mate and next to her is her sister Tanya, who I should inform you is out for revenge on you just as much as I am for you stealing her Edward away from her; and last is Riley." Victoria pointed out the pale blond leech first, followed by the strawberry blonde, and last the male leech with the red eyes.

I recognized Tanya's name from when Carlisle would mention the Denali clan in Alaska. I never knew that another was after Edward, but I shouldn't be surprised Edward could be the perfect boyfriend when he wanted to be. That also explains why Irinia and Tanya have gold eyes because they are 'vegetarian' vampires. I wonder how Carlisle will take the news when he found out leeches that he considered extended family killed me. Probably won't care because they left me to the dangers of the world in the first place because they don't care if I am alive or not. I am forgettable to them.

"Nice to fucking meet you. I should just let you know Edward is all your Tanya, but if he didn't want you in the past is probably because he has to many morals to be with a whore that your obviously are." I smiled smugly.

She lunged and her fist flew into my jaw breaking it. The pain was immense and I whimpered out a cry. I was not unable to talk, that was probably her goal all along.

"Shut up you bitch. He obviously left you because you are prude who could not handle all of his needs to begin with. You are a miserable excuse for a human." Tanya hissed directly in front of my face.

I just glared at her with my eyes. I was not going to let them break me. I had Paul and what Edward did to me led me to my true soul mate. I had to remember this.

"That is enough for now Tanya; I have a few things I want to say to our pitiful little Isabella here." Victoria ordered and Tanya resumed her position against the wall with the other three. I turned my attention to Victoria and all her craziness.

"Bella, Bella, Bella you think that just because you can turn into one of those disgusting mangy dogs now that we will not kill you than you are mistaken. My love was killed and burned all because of those fucking Cullen's getting in the way. Do you know how they tore my love apart and burned the pieces, no, well that is too bad because that is exactly what is going to happen to you. I am going to make sure you feel every bone in your body break before we throw you on the fire still alive and watch you burn to death." Victoria announced with an evil smile on her face. I shuddered at the image that produced in my mind.

Just then she stalked forward like a feral cat and pounced on my shoulders dislocating them. I screamed in pain. I tried to phase to protect myself, but the pain was too much and I could not gather enough strength to change into my wolf form.

There was a cracking sound on my legs and I looked through my eyes that had tears of pain flowing from them to see a smirking Tanya and Laurent pressing their hands into my soft warm flesh. It took a moment for my brain to register this new torment, but all I could wish for once I felt the excruciating pressure and pain was for unconsciousness to find me soon.

A few more kicks to my ribs and my head against the hard concrete floor and I was barely able to breathe, when I heard doors around the room break open and growls of my wolf pack surround me. I had to concentrate on moving air in and out of my lungs. I would not die, not now that I was rescued.

"No!" Victoria screamed.

"Tanya, Laurent fight the black, grey and brown ones. Riley, Irinia, and I will handle the other three." Victoria ordered the others.

I could not see the fight around me because my eyes had swollen shut, but I could hear the constant growls and yelps from my brothers along with screeches of pain from the vampires as they were torn apart. The metal grating sound was filling the air letting me know that we were winning.

Suddenly I was aware that my Paul was around me because I could smell his woodsy aroma filling my nostrils.

"Bella, baby. Please stay with me. I love you so much and I need you to keep breathing. I am going to get you out of here and back home to our boys. Please stay." Paul was sobbing next to me.

I tried to answer, but all that I could do was cry out in pain. I felt my limp body being lifted off the ground and into my love's muscular arms. I was starting to drift into the blackness that was so comforting because it meant no pain. The last thing I remember is seeing the warehouse that I was tortured in being burnt to the ground hopefully with all of those leeches still inside.

**End of Flashback**

I looked at Paul and tried to move my face to kiss him, but the pain had me paralyzed. I cried out in pain and Paul bent down recognizing what I wanted and placed a chaste kiss on my lips. Even that slight pressure was painful, but the electrical pulse that came from all of our touches told me I was alive and safe with my love and it made all the pain in the world durable.

"Bella, love, you have many severe injuries that will require you to stay in bed for a while. Even though you will heal fast it will still take a few weeks for you to be back to normal. The doctor is going to give you some pain medicine so that you can rest. I will be here when you wake up; so please baby, just close your eyes and sleep. I love you so much." Paul explained as saw the doctor to the pack put something into the IV that was attached to my hand. Slowly I drifted off back into the nothingness, but knowing that I was safe and loved once again.

Looking at Bella so broken and bruised was tearing at my soul. Since we made it back to the reservation about twelve hours ago she has been out cold and I was panicked that she was never going to wake up.

As she slowly came around and I looked into her beautiful chocolate eyes I could feel my broken heart filled with relief that my Bella was going to come back to me.

We entered into the warehouse to see five bloodsuckers around my angel. We followed the orders and I went directly to Bella to see her laid on the floor having a hard time breathing and staying awake. I was afraid that I would see the life slip from her form directly in front of my eyes in the next few seconds. I begged her to stay with me as I lifted her up and ran out into the night.

The others were fighting the leeches and I wished I could be in there helping tear the pieces apart with my teeth for causing Bella so much pain I could see that she was in. When everyone emerged they told me that the red head one escaped into the water and Quil tried to follow her, but the bloodsuckers have the advantage there and her scent was lost. The others were ripped to pieces and burned in the building as we fled as fast as possible.

Bella was lying limply on my back as we ran through the woods. We reached the reservation in an hour only to be welcomed by Charlie, Billy, the other elders, Sue Clearwater, who is a nurse at the local hospital, and Dr. Kent the doctor that takes care of the pack if the need ever arises.

After I laid Bella on Sam and Emily's bed, they sent all of out into the living room while they examined her. I hated to leave her, but I knew that it was for the best to keep my temper in order.

I can't believe that we let one of those vile creatures escape. I know deep down that she will come back for my Bella again, but this time I will be ready for her because I am never going to allow any harm to come to her ever again.

Dr. Kent came down two hours later to all of the pack, all the imprints, her father, and the elders pacing around the tiny living room. If I wasn't so upset and worried it would comical to see all of these huge guys pacing across a small area, you would think we were all expectant fathers by the way we were acting.

"Well, you are very lucky you got to her when you did because she is in critical condition that we will have to watch really carefully over the next few hours to see if she will wake up. Most of the bones in her body are broken including her lower back. They are healing, but it will take a few weeks I suspect for them to be completely healed. Once she wakes up on her own I want to keep her sedated as much as possible to reduce the amount of pain that she will be in over the next few days. Overall I think that she will recover, but as I said the next few hours are critical." Dr. Kent explained to us all in a serious tone.

I was relieved that she was going to eventually be okay, but I would not let myself breathe until I can see those eyes full of love.

"Okay, thank you doctor" Charlie shook the doctor's hand.

"Can I go see her?" I questioned.

"Yes, but don't move her." Dr. Kent warned.

I raced up the stairs and sat next to my love for the next twelve hours. Over that time all of the others had come in to sit with her for a while, but I never left her side. Collin, Brady, and Charlie sat with me and held Bella's other hand that was not in my own. Emily and Kim brought us some food, but I could not think of eating at the moment.

Slowly she opened her eyes and I could see the pain that she was feeling. I knew instinctually that she wanted a kiss when she tried to move so I bent down and gave her a gentle kiss on her warm plump lips. I told her about her injuries and how she would be out of it for a while because of medication.

Once she was back under I sat and watched her breathe in and out realizing how close I came to losing her and I broke down in tears for the first time in years. My life could have died in my arms.

I vowed to myself to never let her feel this pain again even if it meant my death in place of her own. Until she was 100% better I was not leaving her side.
