Recap:
Three wolves leaped the short distance claws out and fangs beared; fearless and only thoughts of ripping us apart and killing us.
Blazing Moon
Chapter 26
EPOV
My family stood their ground and waited for the impact of the wolves. A dark gray wolf leaped a me and I caught it by the neck and threw it backwards against a tree; the tree snapped in half but the wolf was swiftly on its feet and charging at me once again.
I had a split second to look to my family who was busy fighting off their own enemy. I turned and crouched down and ran full force at the wolf charging at me.
Our bodies hit and there was a sicking crunch. The wolf...Paul was it; yelped in pain but still managed to swipe his claws down into my chest.
A fierce howl rumbled from my chest as I swung my arm to detache his claws; another crunch...broken arm...I threw another punch...broken ribs. "Stay down or you'll surely die." Paul growled and tried unsuccessfully to stand up. I'll kill you if it's the last thing I... His thoughts were cut off he fell unconsciencous.
Both sides had been fighting for over five hours; the wolves were tiring and their move were becoming sloppy at best.
Oh crap! I heard Carlisle thoughts as I turned in time to see his body hurled past me and into a tree.
"Grrraaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" "You'll pay for that." I bellow and threw myself at Sam.
We both charged at each other.
"STOP!!"
The earth disappeared from our feet and all of us...vampires and wolves were suspended in mid air. The earth below us opened into a deep krevis with fire spewing forth.
I was able to turn my head to the east; what I saw shocked me and everyone else.
BPOV
I could hear ragged breathing next to me and I could hear fast paced thrumbing. I opened my eyes and saw Jacob pacing back and forth clenching and unclenching his hand. I could tell he was concentrating really hard on controlling his muscle spasms.
"Jake, what happended?" He rushed to my side and scouped me up into a bone crushing hug. "Oh thank god your're alright." "Jake...can't...breathe." i stammered.
"Oh, sorry." he set me down and I sucked in a huge gulp of air. "Jake, what happended." I asked him again.
Something wasn't right he wasn't looking at me. "Look at me." I demanded. His head snapped up and I stared him down. I was getting pissed off, he was hiding something from me...I could tell and I didn't like it.
"What is it, tell NOW!" I insisted. "Well...umm" He took a breathe. "Spit it out already." He squared his shoulders and stared into my eyes. "A group of bloodsuckers came onto our land and tried to kill us...some of them ganged up on me and knocked me out." He stopped accessing my reaction then continued. " You thought they killed me....soo you kinda got pissed off and killed all of the single handedly." he breathe out a breathe and looked at me.
I was shocked. oh my god was all could think; then it hit me. I killed, I killed, I killed.
"Bella, it's ok they were the bad ones and you were defending yourself and saving us." he said as grabbed me into a hug. He always read me well.
"What happened afterwards?" I noticed Jake's body stiffen. I looked a him and I saw anger and pain cross his face but he quickly masked it...too late.
"Tell me." I demanded. "The Cullen's came onto our land." he turned his face from me "They're still at the beach."
I quickly realized what this ment. My eyes went wide. "No. no no no no." "Why?" "The treaty was broken....they broke it first."
"I've got to stop them...they'll kill each other." I made my way out of the bed and as I stood I tumbled foward. "That's the idea." he said flatly.
"Bella, you can't go out there you're in no condition." Ok now I was pissed. "Damn it Jake can't you see...I can't have anyone die because of me." I growled at him. "Help me please." I begged him. He stared at me for a while and could see my determination and not to mention my stubborness my mind was made up.
"I must be a glutten for punishment." he sighed. "Come on I"ll take you." We made it to the front porch of his house.
"Stay here I'll be right back." "Wait where are you going?" "To phase you're to weak to run and I need to find out what's going on before we run into the warzone." he ran into the woods and phased.
He came back and stopped at the steps of his porch where I waited. He looked at me and nodded his head toward his back; I understood what he wanted. I climbed on his back and he took off.
It was a short run to the beach. My heart fell as I saw the scene before my eyes. Both sides were fighting fiercely....I heard an agonizing piercing howl. Then I heard the voice of my dreams and disillusion.
"Grrraaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" "You'll pay for that." Edward. (wince) I saw Sam and Edward (wince) charging at each other. Oh hell! This is not good.
"STOP!!" I bellow. I felt the blackness creeping into my eyes like the last time. Control Bella focus rein it in. I chanted it like a mantra.
I lifted my hand up and they all stopped...I raised my hand and they all levitated off the ground. Cool...focus....stay calm. I quipped to myself.
I flicked my other hand and the earth opened and fire came with it. I kept my hand up and Jacob slowed down and slowly trotted up to the beach.
"What the hell are you doing!" I said letting the ice flow through my words. Jacob cringed underneath me.
I looked between both groups that suddenly became mute; I spotted Merrick by the water's edge. Bella...focus. She said in my mind. She knew I would not hurt either group.
I just want them to stop fighting. I know...focus now. I nodded to her and turned to everyone. The Cullens were watching me with curiosity and a hit of fear and the wolves were angry with me for stopping the fight.
I let a shield encase myself and Jacob.
"Let us down." Sam demanded. "You're no position to be making demands." I spat at him.
"My question has not been answered...what the hell do you all think you are doing?"
"The treaty has been broken...these leeches have crossed into our land." Sam spat back with a sneer on his face.
I heard Edward (wince) growl but I ignored him. "Was a human bit?" I spat back. "Have you bothered to sit down and discuss the reasons why." I said with venom dripping from every word.
I got a single answer..."No." "No instead you choose to fight a pointless battle and not even bother to do this in a civilized manner."
Then Sam said the words that thoroughly pissed me off. "You are blinded...they broke you and still you wish to save them, they left you empty...a shell....you are still a child and know nothing of this life." his words were abruptly cut off as he saw the change in my face.
The blackness that creeped into my eyes that I whole heartedly tried to reign in was let loose. Instead of black I saw red.
I saw Sam wince when my gaze fell on him. "How dare you!" the words came out in a mixture of venom and ice in a low menacing tone.
"I am no longer that shell of a human...I am neither vampire nor wolf; I do not choose to save them or the wolves I merely wish for the fighting to end with no casualties on either side." I spat back.
"It is law...they must be destroyed...the treaty states they are prohibited from setting foot on our land." Sam said in a calmer tone.
"Fine...you wish to fight and kill each other off...go ahead; but then whose going to defend your people when more vampires...human blood drinkers come through here....huh...what then?" I said. Sam said nothing at this.
I saw Merrick smirk at the scene before her. Sam had a dumbstruck look on his face along with the rest of the pack while the Cullens wore amused expressions.
This really pissed me off. "And you" I pointed to the Cullens. "Wipe the amusement off your faces...how irrespossible was this on your part." I was cut off by Carlisle. "We tried to explain to them but the would not listen." he said calmly.
"You could have tried harder...no doubt one of you overreacted." I said pointedly looking at Eward (wince) for less than a second; hopefully he didn't see that.
I have pushed myself to much and felt myself growing weaker. I waved my hand and the earth closed up again.
Merrick took notice of me and was in front of me and Jacob in an instant. I lowered my shield and allowed her to step through. She was by my side instantly. My other hand fell to my lap. Both the pack and the Cullens were dropped to the ground.
"Do whatever you want then...I don't care anymore."
I put my hand to Jacob's head. Jake take me back. He tipped his head to Merrick and she climbed his back. He turned and ran back to the house.
My body waivered and I began to fall backwards; Merrick caught hold of me. It'll be okay...sleep child. she said as the blackness took over me and I fell into unconsciousness.
