Bella's Point of View
When I gained consciousness I jolted upright, feeling at my neck. I glanced around dizzily until my eyes landed on Sam. His gazed at me with concern, moving to my side to hold my hand. The look on his face was making me nervous, he looked as though I would completely fall to pieces in any minute. I prayed that nothing bad happened... Well, I didn't want to be a vampire. There was no way Sam and I could ever be together if I was a vampire... he would hate me... and I would lose the love of my life.
"I'm not a vampire right?" I choked out, clutching Sam's hand tightly.
His serious expression faltered, a hint of a smile coming to his face. "No, I had Carlisle take a look at you, she drank from you a little, but there was no venom in your system, you are going to be ok." His words brought a sudden wave of relief to hit me. I felt my body relax now completely, I carefully played with his fingers.
"Thank goodness, by the look on your face I thought the worst had happened."
Sam now sighed, a grim look coming to his face. "They worst did happen." He turned away from me, glancing out the window. "I wasn't able to protect you, she could have killed you Bella," It pained me to see him like this, I quickly tried to console him.
"You couldn't have known this was going to happen, it's my fault, if I would have listened and stayed away from her, this never would have happened, don't blame yourself."
Sam shook his head, leaning into kiss the top of my head. "But I am to blame, I'm the alpha of this pack, it's my responsible to ensure the safety of everyone and I failed to do that, I'm beginning to even wonder if I'm cut to be the alpha of this pack... I couldn't even keep the woman I love safe."
My heart fluttered at what he had said and for a moment I was completely distracted by it. Lightly I touched his face, getting his attention. When his eyes came to mine, I gave him a weak smile. "I am ok, you are ok, that's all that matters."
He reluctantly nodded, closing his eyes as he held my hand in place. "I can't stay much longer, I need to head to the council and get this figured out, we need to get her out of here." He now frowned, a darkness dancing in his eyes. "She is to great a danger."
"Was anyone able to talk with her further on why she is here?"
"Carlisle had talked with her while he was here checking on you, what he has learned is she is here searching for her daughter."
I felt my eyes widen at his words. "But... vampires can't... procreate."
Sam shrugged his shoulder. "Apparently she had given birth to a monster while she was still human." He look came on to his face, close to repulsion. "She said she would have died if it wasn't for the child biting and feeding on her while she was giving birth out in the middle of the woods."
The scene that popped into my head at this was terrifying. It made a chill run down my spine and for a moment I was even more thankful that I didn't get turned into a vampire. That sounded absolutely horrible.
"Well why would she come all the way here to La Push to find her child?"
"She claims to have been the original settler here in La Push before it became a reservation." Sam muttered, standing up from his seat. "She said she was seduced by a vampire by the name of Aro, she hadn't known what he was, so when he left her the next day, she claimed to realize she was pregnant with a beast."
What he was saying just sounded so unbelievable, I couldn't imagine what that woman had been going through. "How did she lose her child?"
"She sent the beast to live with a family of locals here in La Push, to keep the thing a secret from Aro, then she ran."
"You don't seriously think her child would still be here..."
Sam shrugged his shoulders. "We don't know how this child grows, if it grows as a normal human or if it is immortal like a regular vampire, so it's hard to say."
This was a lot of information to take in, I didn't even know that it was possible for human and vampires to procreate... This thought never crossed my mind. But now that I knew it was a possibility I wondered about Alida and Edward's relationship. Would this change anything for them? I needed to talk to her, she needed to know this information before she decided to... do anything with Edward. She needed to know the risks of this.
I quickly got out of the bed, steadying myself.
"Where do you think you are going." Sam protested, taking hold of my shoulders, keeping me in place. "You just lost a bit of blood, you should really be taking it easy."
"There is no time, I need to get to Alida and talk with her about this, she needs to know the possibility... before it's to late."
Sam's eyes widened slightly. "You don't honestly think she is stupid enough to do this while she is human..."
I huffed, gently taking his hands from my shoulders. "I have to go make sure." I leaned up and kissed his cheeks before making my way out of the room.
"She's over at the Cullen's house right now, I'll drive you over." Sam spoke, lightly wrapping an arm around my waist as he guided us through his house and out to his truck.
"Thank you." I smiled at him, thankful that he was willing to help get to Alida as soon as possible. He understood that Alida was my best friend and I didn't want anything to happen to her. Even though he hated the idea of being near the Cullen's he would still do anything to make sure I was happy. I was truly lucky to have such a great man in my life.
The ride over was quiet between us, but I could see by the look on his face that he was in deep thoughts. I didn't want to disturb him, so I just kept my eyes out the window, watching as we drove out of La Push. As we traveled closer to Forks the sky began to darken even more, the clouds completely dominated the sky and as we pulled into the Cullen's driveway the hard thudding of rain was now pelting the truck.
Edward and Alida where standing on the porch waiting for us, curious looks on both of their faces. I noticed how Edward's arms were comfortable set around her waist. Even as Sam and I began the walk up the porch steps. They seemed to comfortable together, even though Edward could snap in any moment and kill each of us. But that wasn't my concern today, it was purely making sure Alida knew her risks.
"Hey Bella, are you feeling any better, that witch got a good bite on you." Alida said stepping forward to take a look at my neck. "You where passed out for hours."
This was news to me. I had no idea that I had been out for that long, but I guess what would explain why it was so dark outside.
"Nevermind that, did you hear about the information we got from Chloe?" I said, watching between the two of them.
"Carlisle hasn't made it back home yet to deliver the news, he had to make a trip back in the the hospital." Edward stated, raising a brow now, watching me intently.
Just as I had thought, they had no clue how much danger Alida could get in. "Well it turns out, Chloe was in La Push looking for her daughter."
At my words Edward's expression turned unreadable, his body going completely tense.
"But how?" Alida said frowning. "She is a vampire."
"She delivered a vampire baby, while she was human." I said and to my shock Alida's expression now changed to horror. She quickly shook her head, looking between Sam and I. "There is no way that's possible." It sounded like she was trying to make herself believe that.
"Alida it is possible, I came all the way over here to let you know," I paused glancing at Edward; who continued to keep an indescribable look on his face. "I wanted you to know the risks before you decided to ... go there." I muttered quietly, my face going red.
This was an awkward conversation to have, especially with Sam and Edward literally right here and right of us.
As soon as I said this Edward turned and bolted back into the house, I could hear him frantically dialing on a phone and begin a rushed conversation.
Alida sighed deeply, rubbing her face; looking completely stressed now. My heart sunk in my chest.
I was to late.
I'm sorry this was so short, but the next chapter will be up soon.
Any feedback?
