Jacob didn't know how long he lay in the forest, distorted and cracked. Soon after Edward left, it started raining, the fat drops splashing on his face. The outer cuts were healing over themselves, but his fractured, split bones couldn't reset themselves. He faded in and out of life until darkness covered him.
He woke up in the darkness, but warmth was growing from the core of his body. He felt strong hands on his arm. His eyes flickered open and he saw Sam, who was studying his broken arm.
"Jacob," He spoke softly, "I was hoping you wouldn't be awake for this part." He snapped the bones back into place. Jacob gasped sharply at the pain and Sam set the limb gently back on the ground. Jacob could feel that the breaks in his legs were back into place. He tried to get up but Sam quickly stopped him. "Don't! Your hips and tailbone are broken. Just wait a second."
Sam moved his large hands to Jacob's pelvis. Jacob sucked in air as he moved them over the breaks, softly soothing them back into place. A tear rolled from his eye as a sickness poured from his heart around his body.
After Sam had fixed him, he waited for Jacob's healing powers to mend and bind the loose ends, then he helped Jacob to his feet, brushed him forehead with a kiss and disappeared into the woods.
