Breanna's fingers tightened around her neck, the breath slowly being squeezed from her lungs.
Sara's eyes large blue eyes were growing larger, and her face was losing more and more color.
And Breanna'd promised it wouldn't hurt her.
WRONG.
Jacob struggled and snarled, biting and thrashing in vain.
SLAM! The doors to the giant courtroom burst open, flying into the wall.
The next few seconds passed in a blur of action. Jacob's captors released their hold on him- gazing around in confused stares. Breanna let go of Sara, letting her crumple to the floor.
Eight vampires were attacking- again.
For the first time in his life Jacob was glad to see the Cullens.
Huge numbers of vampires were swarming in on them, however, overpowering them a little more easily.
But then- there were more, coming to help.
Jacob didn't recognize Tanya's clan- but they'd come to their aid, and that's all Jacob cared about.
Jacob took advantage of the moment- bounding over to where Sara lay, motionless.
He pressed his ear to her heart.
The little beats were the most beautiful sound in the world. They continued to pound, to his amazement, in a steady declaration of life.
If he'd been in human form, he would have been gratefully cussing.
But all that came out was a low, contented whine of relief.
She was ALIVE.
Unconscious, but beautifully, breathingly so. He started to lick her face, her cheeks, her forehead, her eyebrows, and her mouth. Her eyelids fluttered open. "Gross," She murmured dully.
She spoke!
Every moment, every single icon of life in her was shatteringly wonderful.
She mumbled something unintelligible and fell back into sleep.
Around them, vampires fought, thirteen against a hundred.
But most of these vampires were ungifted- and all of the Cullens and Tanya's were.
Jacob looked up for the first time, realizing he needed to fight too. He snuffled wetly in Sara's ear, dragging her safely to the sidelines, where someone had already pulled Cate, who was wailing pathetically.
Jacob gave Cate's face a big slurp with his tongue and ran into the mess.
Hey dog-breath. Bloodsuckers said we could help- you seriously didn't think about leaving us out did you? We would have missed out on ALL this ACTION!!!
You idiot. Why didn't you check in every once in a while…
Hey, god- where've you been?
Jacob- we've been worried.
Oh- don't be so nice Sam! He's a loser who couldn't even PHASE to tell us where the heck he was! We had to go to those leeches to help you out! We are one hell of a family you know.,,.
Hmph. I think he deserves to die for being so STUPID…
Definitely Leah.
The wolves were back- and Jacob had never been so glad to hear his brother's thoughts.
And maybe not so glad to hear his sister's.
