Chapter 20 - Information

"Let's get some information from her." I heard Jacob's husky voice echoing down the corridor. Information?

"Jake. I doubt she'll give anything up!" I heard Quil arguing. From what Seth had said, Quil was beginning to see my side and join Seth's little thing.

"She'll have to! They'll be coming soon and we need to be as prepared as much as possible! I'm not losing her again!!" Jacob growled back angrily. I heard Quil groan and I frowned as they entered the cell. Jacob knelt in front of me while Quil stood behind him, arms folded across his big chest. Jacob stared into my eyes. "Bella, we need information on the parasites. Tell us all you know." He demanded. I flinched at his harsh tone and the word 'parasite'. They weren't parasites; they were good vampires with a different appetite. I didn't answer him. The frown had vanished from my face and I had narrowed my eyes at him.

"Why?" Jacob groaned in frustration.

"To stop them! To protect you from those monsters!"

"I can't give you anything."

"Told you!" Quil stated. Jacob growled.

"I'll make her tell me." He growled at Quil.

"How?" Quil asked in disbelief and exasperation.

"Like this." And he slapped me across the face. I heard the sickening snap before the piercing scream. My jaw stung and throbbed in pain. I pressed my fingers to my jaw and winced in pain. He had broken my jaw.

"Jake!" Quil roared in anger.

"What?" Jacob demanded. I wanted to yell at him. The stupid bastard!

"You broke her jaw!" I heard Seth exclaim. I looked up at the cell door and saw Seth running towards me.

"How would you know, Seth?" Jacob sneered.

"Dude, didn't you hear the snap and scream from her? You dimwit!" Quil was furious, but not as furious as Sam.

"What's going on?" Sam roared. He was standing at the entrance to the cell, glaring at Quil, Jacob and Seth.

"Jake broke Bella's jaw!" Quil informed Sam.

"So? We need the information!!" Jacob retorted at his friend. I sent him a glare.

"Yeah, well now she can't talk." Quil stated.

"Smart, Jacob, smart." Sam muttered sarcastically.

"Seth, try and get it back in place. We don't want it to set wrong. Edward wouldn't like that." Quil commanded. I stared at him in horror before feeling two warm hands on my face. I winced again as one touched a tender spot. I looked at Seth.

"Sorry, Bella." He whispered.

"What? You're going to give her back to Edward?" Jacob demanded.

"Everyone. Meeting now!" Sam yelled before leaving.

"Yes." Was Quil's short reply to Jacob's question.

"And let her be killed by that bloodsucking monster?" Jacob roared; his frame was shaking now. There was another sickening snap before another piercing scream. No one spoke.

"You're the monster, Jacob." My jaw ached in so much pain as I spoke.

"Don't speak, Bella. It won't help the healing." Seth whispered.

"Seth's right. Wait till you're all healed before talking." Quil agreed. Did they have doctor degrees I didn't know about?

"That could be months! We need the information now. They'll be here any day and we won't be prepared!!" Jacob argued. I rolled my eyes. Since when did wolves need to be prepared for anything? Stupid Jacob.

"Wouldn't give it to you anyway." I muttered weakly, trying to ignore the tremendous pain in my jaw.

"Quiet, Bella. Just let yourself heal. Let's go Jacob, Seth, we have to get to that meeting." Quil walked out the room with a fuming Jacob and a sad Seth in tow. The pain died down slowly and I savored the silence. I rested my head against the wall and closed my eyes, picturing Edward. When would he come for me? He didn't want me to die here, did he?

Edward's Point of View

I had heard the scream coming from my Bella twice. Each time it pierced me with sadness. She was in pain and I wasn't there to help her. We had to get there now. I needed to save her. Who knew what those mutts were doing to her?

"Let's go now!" I looked at Carlisle. He shook his head.

"No. We should wait a bit longer. They're most likely expecting us." Why did Carlisle have to sound so calm all the time? Couldn't he hear Bella's pain in that scream? She needed his help. She needed us!

"But they're hurting her!!" I argued. Carlisle sighed.

"Sorry, Edward. But we must wait." I leaned against the tree in defeat and closed my eyes. I had lost this argument, there was no point of continuing to fight, but I would get my Bella back soon. I would protect her from those werewolves and everything else that wanted to cause her pain in this world. Right now, I wished she could hear my thoughts at this very moment.

I'm coming, my love. Just hold on a bit longer.

(A/N: I really needa get some of Jacob's point of view in here and I hate it. Oh well. Enjoy!!)

Jacob's Point of View

We stood in front of Sam now, Sam deliberating what to do with me. I had never intended to break Bella's jaw…I had just forgotten that I was so much stronger than her now. And all I really needed was some information on the parasites and their power so we would be prepared for the fight when they came and so we knew what their weaknesses were. She didn't have to be so difficult.

What do we do now? Embry asked impatiently.

We can't do anything but wait, seeing as Bella can't talk thanks to Jake. I rolled my eyes at Quil's statement. I could hear the anger in his voice.

What did Jake do now? Leah asked, sounding rather bored.

He broke Bella's jaw. Quil stated.

Idiot. Everyone thought at the same time.

We needed the information! How else are we going to know what the weaknesses are of the parasites if we don't have that information?! I argued. Nearly everyone sighed or growled. What was their problem?

Our problem is you, Jake. You're being such an ass! So what if we needed the information? Seth and I knew that Bella wouldn't give you the information that was needed and you could have tried a less violent way to get the information!! Quil retorted. I growled. What did he know?

Enough! Jacob, Paul, Embry and Jared, go do the run and keep watch for the bloodsuckers. Wait till I call you back. Nowhere beyond three miles and if catch site of one, don't do anything until you have called me. Don't be stupid all right? Sam commanded.

Yes, Sam. Paul, Embry, Jared and I replied before heading out.

Seth and Quil, tend to Bella and guard the cell. I growled at Sam's command. Quil and Seth shouldn't be anywhere near Bella at this point. They were both beginning to take the side of the bloody leeches! Shut it, Jake! Do as you were told. I growled again, but ran off anyway. Right now, I would do anything to make sure that the parasite didn't touch my Bella ever again!

A/N: Haha! What did you think? Yeah, sorry about Bella and Jacob breaking her jaw...but I needed Jacob to hurt Bella!! I really did and then there is an excuse for Edward to kill Jacob because he broke his wife's jaw...you know that's not such a bad idea. Haha sorry everyone, love you all! Look out for the next chapter. It's coming very soon!!
