Also, any readers interested in Claire/Quil stories, check out my new one, A beautiful mess, it's about Claire being taken from La Push when she was 3 and how being away from each other has effected them and all the usual drama filled story fluff I write hehee, I don't normally read Quil stories, I am a Embry or Paul girl, but this story seems to be going good. So check it out! :D

It was 5am, we had been sat in the abandoned waiting room for 5 hours, no word on how Jade was, just the unbearable pain ripping through my body. Everyone was silent, Paul still hadn't returned, we had left a message at the house for him to come here but he hadn't.

The silence made it all worse, it felt as if the silence was adding to my pain, that any sort of noise or forced conversation would save me from the burning aches that were constantly running through me.

"She will be ok Embry" Rachel finally spoke, breaking the deafening silence of the over bright hospital waiting room.

I looked up at her, she was sat hugging Billy who looked at me, tears still brimming his old eyes, he seemed blank, looking at me as if he could see right through me to the wall I leant against, as if I was nothing. The look hurt, but I understood, its how I felt, no one here mattered to me, in this moment the only person my heart and worry belong to was Jade. And I knew that was how Billy felt too.

Rachel tried smiling at me but it was fake, she was just as worried as I was. I nodded back, trying to believe her.

A door swung and slammed shut up the hall and the hard smell of bleach met my nose again, I looked up, Carlisle was walking down the hall, a young nurse next to him, pointing to something on a clipboard. As they reached us she looked up at him.

"Check vitals on the hour, got it" She smiled before looking over at us all, her eyes widened as she glanced at the herd of large men gathered in her small waiting area, then she smiled politely again before walking away, her clipboard in hand.

"Well what's the new doc?" Billy spoke up first, he looked on edge and stressed. And he had reason to be, both of his kids had been hurt within days of each other, he must be in hell.

"She's stable. However, I had moved her to intensive care, she needs to be watched carefully over night, her heart beat is becoming more regular but I have her on oxygen, just in case she's still in a bit of distress. Her blood pressure is low so the nurses will be doing hourly checks on her to ensure everything is ok. I won't lie Billy, it got bad back there" He stopped, looking over at us all, sighing heavily he sat down next to Billy. Rubbing his forehead.

My heart was hammering, stable, that was good. But it had got bad, how bad, had she nearly died? What if she could still die, what if she was alone right now, she couldn't be alone, I needed to get to her.

Carlisle coughed, starting explaining everything again, his face fell back into a professional look of care, but his dead golden eyes sparkled with real concern as he looked down at Jacob, Rachel and Billy. My heart dropped, he looked like he didn't want to tell us the next bit of information, he looked slightly nervous as he opened his mouth to speak.

"This is never easy to tell anyone, but the blood tests came back, which is a good thing because I knew how to treat her properly, but unfortunately, it seems like she overdosed on a drug"

He stopped and looked around again at the silent boys around me. Drug, she had taken a drug? Oh god, what if it was hard core drugs. I could handle her smoking a bit of pot but hard core drugs, no way. What if she was into all that crazy stuff, what if she had purposely tried over dosing, because she thought we all hated her, then it would be all our fault.

"She did drugs? I told her not to do anything stupid, she never listens" Rachel shook her head as fresh tears fell down her face, Billy seemed tense now, like angry tense, I had never seen him angry.

"Well actually, I think, well I can guarantee, she didn't take it voluntarily, she seems far too bright to be stupid enough to take a drug like that. I think it was most likely slipped to her, she was drugged" Carlisle stopped again, waiting for the reaction.

I flew from my place on the floor, every nerve within me burning me with rage. He had drugged her, Nathan, the son of a bitch drugged her. I was going to kill him.

"Guys calm down now" Sam's controlled voice boomed over the low growls and blurring shakes that had suddenly erupted around me.

"He drugged her, bastard" Seth let out a menacingly low growl, this even had me stop in my tracks as I went to make my way from the hospital. Seth was never angry, Seth was the happiest kid in the world. I turned to look at him, everyone had turned, he was sahking violently from his place behind Rachel, his usually smiling face scrunched in a angry frown.

"Oh see, I am such a bitch, I thought she had done it to herself" Rachel let out another wail of a sob and keeled over, hugging herself into her own lap. I had thought the same thing. I was such an asshole sometimes.

"What was she given?"

"Rohypnol" Carlisle spoke lowly, as if not wanting to say it.

I frowned,I had no idea what that was but Quil started coughing as if he was choking on something, standing up from his seat his face had dropped slightly, paler than usual as he continued coughing on his words. What was his problem now?

"That's a date rape drug" He gasped slightly, I snapped my head to Carlisle who was nodding slowly, his own eyes locked on me.

She had been drugged, worse, she had been drugged for one thing, the one word that no one wanted to hear connected to the girl they loved as much as I loved her. That one word made my body shake in anger, uncontrollable rage that tore through me like a knife, rape. He was going to rape her. My heart felt like it was shattering, she could have been hurt worse than anything else I could imagine by him. He could have torn her down completely, broken her more than she already was. I needed to kill him, he needed to pay for this.

"Yes, that is what it is mostly used for now days. But most victims have maybe one dosage in their blood when I see them; she seems to have been given double that or maybe more. She's basically been given an overdose on it, it's mostly used because it's a sedative which is why she is passed out to the extent she is and why she was struggling to cope with it. She is a small girl, so the dose she was given was too much for her. I checked her out, she wasn't hurt physically by the looks of it and she had a tiny trace of alcohol in her system, and no other drugs. So I would say she was probably slipped it in the one drink she did have"

Everyone was silent, Billy had a few tears falling down his face, Jacob was shaking with anger while everyone else seemed a little shocked, shocked that one of our family members, one of the imprints had been so close to being hurt like that. I knew from the looks on everyone's faces, they felt like I did, like failures, we had all failed to protect her, we had been there in the end, but we should have been there sooner, should have stopped it getting as far as it had done. Kim and Emily were being smothered in tight hugs by Sam and Jared. I felt physically sick. If I had ignored the feeling and not gone, he would have hurt her even more.

"When will she wake up?" Sam asked now, still holding Emily tightly.

"Normally it takes around 7-12 hours; it could be longer for Jade as she seems to have had more. I've linked a drip up to try to flush the drugs out but it could be in 10 hours, could be 20, I put her in a private room so that you have freedom to stay with her, I think it would be good for someone to be there" Carlisle stopped and looked across at Rachel who was bent over, sobbing loudly.

She probably felt like shit. Seth awkwardly stood behind her, rubbing her back, it didn't seem to be helping.

"Rachel, I wouldn't lie to you, she hasn't been hurt, just drugged, if that makes you feel any better. I know it probably doesn't, but her breathing is stable again, and she isn't in as much distress, which is a good sign, as long as we can keep her like this then she should be fine" Carlisle offered his comforting words again but she shook her head and cried more.

It was obviously because of the stuff she said to her. She had been such a bitch to her, Jade probably would have come home if it hadn't been for the fight with Rachel.

"Will she know what happened?" Jacob growled slightly and Carlisle shook his head.

"The drug's side effect is mainly memory loss, she most likely won't remember anything from when the drug started taking effect. You can also expect her to be sick, nauseous, dizzy, confused, panicked, and disorientated. So I would say, she may remember parts of it, we can't be sure until she wakes up" He finished as we all soaked up the information.

I wouldn't leave her side. Not until she forced me too. I would stay with her forever, she needed me earlier and I had shown up too late, from now on, she would have to force me to leave her side.

"I'll be here all day now, so call me if you need me, I will be checking on her regularly, she's in room 101, so go on up when you want to" He smiled lightly at us all and picked his bag up from the floor.

"The borders are open for as long as you need to be here Sam, and you know that if you or your pack ever needs my assistance then I will always be there to help Sam" Carlisle smiled at my alpha. I felt a chill go through me, he was willing to put aside our issues to help my Jade. I guess I could like this man.

"Thank you Carlisle, you've done so much for my kids this week. Thank you isn't enough, I feel like I owe you more than that. You didn't need to help them but you did" Billy's voice cracked as he started crying again, Carlisle took his hand and smiled.

"A simple thanks is more than enough Billy, besides your family helped mine out recently when they didn't need to. I'll see you later" He dropped Billy's hand and smiled at everyone again before leaving and walking back up the hallway.

Everyone was silent again, the tugging in my chest pulled on me harder and I walked forward heading down the hall, unable to ignore it anymore. No one said anything to stop me, but I could hear Rachel coming behind me, still crying.

We were silent as we walked up the stairs toward intensive care, looking for her room. I saw it, right at the end of the hall. I pushed open the door to her room, she was led under the covers, her body wasn't moving much, and she looked so small. Small and pale. Only the soft breaths she let out showed she was still alive. I walked forward, leaning down next to her, her arm hung over the side, a drip going in through a little needle, a oxygen tube was running across her face, making her look even more ill than she had done before.

"Embry, she's going to hate me isn't she" Rachel was stood behind me, crying more than she was before.

I wasn't in the mood to deal with her shit, I wouldn't give her the fake kindness she wanted. I just wanted to make sure Jade was ok. I stayed silent, plus if I said anything wrong Paul would kill me.

I lifted Jade's cold hand to my lips, kissing it lightly. She didn't stir. But something else hit me, his scent, the scent that I had smelled as I hit Nathan. It was all over her. I felt sick again.

"She smells like him" My voice was low and angry.

"I'll wash her as soon as she wakes" Rachel sniffled slightly.

The door opened, Billy wheeled in to the fairly large sized room, Jacob hobbled in, sitting on the chair next to her bed. Jared, Kim, Sam, Emily and Quil all walked in. Seth and Leah were the only ones missing.

"I sent Seth and Leah back to patrol, we still need to protect the rez" Sam offered, obviously noticing that I was looking for them.

I nodded, I suppose he was right, but to me Jade was the only important thing right now, the only one who needed protection.

"Paul still isn't here, what if he does something stupid?" Rachel sniffled again, Sam went to reply but decided against it, to be honest Paul probably was doing something stupid.

"I wish I could have stayed, I would have killed him. What asshole does that to a girl, let alone someone as small as Jade? He could have killed her if he gave her too much" Jared shook his head as he said it, his voice was a low growl.

I growled, he nearly had killed her, she was struggling against the drug, he had given her too much. Everyone nodded in agreement. Billy was silent again, Sam stood behind him, comforting him.

"I'll track him down, no matter what Paul did to him isn't enough. I will kill him" Jacob growled now and Billy reached out, patting his sons knee.

I would kill him too. I needed to. I needed to do something. He couldn't get away with hurting my girl.

I span around as the door flew open again, Paul ran in, his hands were covered in dry blood and his shirt was ripped slightly. So maybe I won't need to kill him.

"Paul, what did you do?" Sam groaned, we could still technically be arrested for murder, no matter if we were wolves or not.

"Me? Oh you know, just went to town on his sorry ass. Safe to say, he won't be going near Jade again. Probably won't go near any girl again. His face is too messed up for them to find him remotely attractive" His voice was a low sneer, his eyes sparkled as he obviously remembered what he had done to him.

"What did you do?" Rachel asked, I looked at her, she was angry as tears still fell, Paul walked to her, wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Embry broke his nose already, so I just added to it. Bit swollen, few missing teeth. May have broke his arm slightly. Potentially gave him concussion, so I dropped him off with Charlie, he had a stash of some drug in his pocket, I told Charlie what he did, he put him in a cell overnight. Jade's phone was in the room, I think she had been scrolling for someone's number, it was on her contacts, one person above Embry. How is she anyway?" Paul's voice was a growl but lightened when he asked how Jade was; worry fell over his previously angry features as he clocked her unconscious body next to me. He did care about her.

Then what he said reached me, one person above me? My stomach dropped and I could feel myself going slightly faint. She was trying to call for help. She was trying to call me and she couldn't, she probably felt alone and hurt. My hand gripped hers harder, trying to let her know I was here now.

"She was drugged, with a date rape drug. She isn't hurt physically. The kid gave her too much so she will be knocked out for a while. She's stable though" Quil answered after it was obvious no one else would.

I glanced up at the clock, zoning out from the angry growl filled conversation the others were having.

It was 6am. I felt tired, so tired, like I would pass out any minute.

"Jade, it's Embry" I whispered to her, she did nothing, her forehead twitched as if trying to frown, but I needed her to know I was here.

"Embry, you can't stay sat here all night with her, you look shattered, you need some sleep" Billy spoke softly, as if trying not to wake her.

"Sorry but I can't leave her Billy, I will sleep when she is ok" My voice cracked, he couldn't make me leave her.

"You don't have to leave her, but just come drink something and get some rest, something Em, you've had a hard night" Jacob spoke now, putting his hand on my shoulder. I looked down at Jade again, I couldn't leave her.

"She will be fine for half hour, then you can come back" Billy spoke again as he wheeled himself backwards. Jacob patted my shoulder and I stood up, fighting the pull that was telling me to sit back down.

I let go of her hand as Jacob and Billy got to the door, I turned around but as I did Emily gasped and pointed at Jade. I span around, looking at her, her little hand was twitching, fighting to move, her fingers were trying to stretch out and it was making a grabbing movement, only softly though as if she was struggling.

"E" Her soft voice muttered as her hand stretched out again.

"Jade?" Jacob walked forward a bit.

"Em" She mumbled again, I looked at Jacob and he shrugged.

"Jade what is it?" He spoke softly again. My heart was tugging more and more, hurting me with each movement her little hand made.

"Em..em" Her face squeezed as if she was in pain or upset, her breathing picked up as her hand reached more desperately.

"What's she doing?" Billy wheeled forward, trying to listen.

"She's trying to talk" Jacob mumbled at them and they all made their way forward again.

"What is she saying, I can't hear" Billy asked now, his eyes firmly placed on his daughter.

She seemed to be panicking, I could feel it as she reached and muttered over and over.

"Jade honey, you're ok" Rachel cooed as she stepped forward toward her sister.

"Em" Jade tried again, her heart was beating at a stupidly fast pace.

"Is she saying Em or Um?" Paul asked, his face in a hard frown.

"Not sure"

"Jade what are you trying to say?" I tried now, taking her hand in mine. Her face immediately smoothed over, her breathing calmed slightly and her hand tightened around mine.

"Em..bry Embry" Her breathy voice slipped out as she calmed down, my heart stopped, Embry, she was trying to say Embry. My inner wolf started doing a celebration dance, she wanted me here with her.

"She was reaching for you, you had her hand and she started struggling when you let it go" Jacob spoke now, a slight smile on his lips.

She was breathing normally again, her heart was a normal pace and her hand had a firm grip in mine. She wanted me to stay. My whole body was buzzing, she wanted me.

"I guess she does feel it too, the imprint I mean" Emily smirked before turning and leaving with Sam.

"You can stay with her tonight, if it makes her calmer, just don't get used to it. She's still my little girl" Billy looked at me, his stare a little harsh as he turned and wheeled himself out, Paul winked at me before following.

"Goodnight Jade, I love you" Rachel leant down and kissed her little head before leaving.

"Get some sleep Embry, don't just stare at her all night" Jacob smiled as he left, shutting the door behind him.

I looked down at her; she was small enough that even though the bed was a single, a very small single, she hardly took any space.

I kept her hand in mine as I climbed across her, staying on top of the covers as I lay down. Her body shifted, moving closer to me, she seemed to struggle so I pulled her, laying her head on my chest as she relaxed into me.

I smiled, she would freak if she saw this. She would do her whole, I don't need you act. But she wanted me, she called my name. I hugged her to me tighter. I would never let her go anywhere without me ever again.

I shut my eyes, letting the feel of her skin on mine sooth my anger and worry, my wolf was purring within me, for the first time since I imprinted on her, I felt like she actually felt it for me too. I had a chance with her.
