AN: I think I can make a longer chapter and make this work since I'm not on a time limit...

Sam POV

"Edward's here?" Bella asked. I could even sense her fear. "Yeah, I smelled him and that redhead, Victoria. They're coming up fast. Quil's on guard but I had to warn you."

I huffed calculating the quickest strategy to get Bella to safety. We were a little ways away from my house and by the speed Jared described we'd need miracle. As if the heavens shined down on me the leech with dreads ran from the forest and onto sight.

Jacob growled crouching in front of Old Quil and Billy. While none of us took the measure to defend. Paul seems to trust him and so do I. "Laurent."

Bella said astonished. Paul gave a brief nod. I could feel his wolf anxious ready to just get Bella and run. "Hello. I caught the scent of Victoria and knew she was going to make a bee-line right for Bella.

If you trust me I can run her to the rest. I ran that way coming here. I'll go with one of yours." He explained. "Paul." I stated asking what it is that he wanted to do.

He looked at Laurent. "You took care of my mate and I thank you. You protected her to your best until you could find us, so I thank you. I trust you. Take her, and protect her but if anything happens to her...you are dead."

Laurent nodded. Paul looked down at Bella and took her hands in his. "Now Swan. You stay with him and keep yourself safe. I won't let anyone hurt you. I promise. I love you."

Bella then took her hands and caressed his face. "I love you too. You better come back to me." I watched them share their private moment and I suddenly wished Emily was here, but I knew she was fine.

I watched as Laurent picked Bella up and then proceeded to tell Charlie to climb on. He looked red and pale at the same time.

I watched Leah coax him into it and with one sweet kiss Charlie and Bella disappeared. Paul shook and I did the same. It was time for these fuckers to die...


I raced along beside Jared, Quil, Embry and Paul growling. We were right along the trail of the leeches. Jacob was a few feet away seeing if he could maybe intercept them.

I pushed myself harder ready to get back home to my Emily. Everyone else quickly stepped up to my stride. We bounded over small boulders and used large ones to carry ourselves faster.

I growled as I smelt the recent scent of Cullen and the scent of Victoria. We raced trying to catch-up. We all split, Paul and I going north, Quil going west and Jared going east with Embry.

I saw a flash of red to my left and howled trailing after it. Paul zeroed with me while Quil went with Jared and Embry. Jacob ran alongside me and we chased after the red head. Her red eyes glowed with mischief and Paul growled.

I looked at him and gave him a quick nod. I increased my speed and readied myself for Paul. His feet pounced on my shoulders and he sprang into the air flipping over Victoria and landing into her path.

She stopped to turn but Jacob was blocking her path. I growled as she turned in a circle. No where to go. We stalked toward her and she sprang into the air fast but Paul was faster as he caught her foot between his teeth and bit into flesh and bone and the sound of metal tearing sounded through the air.

She screamed in pain and dropped to the ground. Her left foot completely gone. I grabbed an arm and ripped it from it's socket. Jacob grabbed the other doing the same.

She was whimpering by the time we had her legs dismembered. I let Paul come between and watched as his teeth showed dripping saliva and his eyes flashed.

He pounced on her ripping her head from her shoulders. He flung her head not too far away. I howled in satisfaction.

I was about to unphase when I heard another howl and smelt Cullen. I saw him before he had time to react and jumped intercepting him. My teeth locked onto his side and he growled in pain shoving me off.

I sprang again lunging for him and as quickly as it started it was over. His hair was in my teeth, his body twitching.

I spit his head out and huffed. I watched Paul gathering the pieces and watched as he flicked the lighter and torched the things that threatened his mate's existence.

We watched the fire burn and watched as the ashes blew with the wind. Paul phased back and raced off to Bella. Jared and I did the same. Quil and Embry stayed to celebrate a kill..


Paul POV

I strode past Laurent. "She's dead." Was all I said as I strode inside looking for Bella.

I found her on the couch with Emily. I gave Emily a quick smile and Bella launched herself at me.

"Are you okay?" She asked checking me over. "I'm fine Bella. Come here." I held her close and kissed her forehead. "Is it over?"

She asked quietly. "It's over Swan. All over. The're both dead."

She held onto me tightly and I her.

I looked up as Sam and Jared strode in moments later. They made a bee-line for their mates hugging them close.

I breathed in the scent that was Bella. Charlie was beside Leah talking to her softly. She stayed to protect Billy and Old Quil along with the imprints.

I looked up as I saw Jacob come in. I looked to Sam. He didn't think I noticed but I could feel the alpha in him which was stronger.

"Jacob we need to talk..." Both men walked out and I turned my attention back to Bella kissing her face. She laughed and playfully smacked me away.

I kissed her scars. "I love you."

She looked at me with her brown eyes. "I love you too.." I smiled and hugged her again, nuzzling my face into her neck.

Jacob and Sam came back and Jacob went to Billy. He snapped his head to Sam and looked down shaking his head.

Old Quil stormed out and kept muttering under his breath. It looked like Sam would be keeping alpha after all and Jacob...I don't what he was going to do. And quite frankly I didn't care.

I didn't care about anything from Jacob to the leech outside. All I cared about was my Swan and my family and that's all I needed.
