Chapter 35
Kim's point of view
Today's the newborn battle. Everyone's at Sam and Emily's and I mean everyone. All the elders, imprints, and families that know the secret. Matt still hasn't told Kayla the secret yet but he's going to after today. "Everyone needs to say their goodbyes, we need to leave soon." Sam announces. I turn to Josh, Katherine, and Avery. Katherine's in tears and Avery looks sad. She doesn't want Brady and her uncles to leave her. She thinks we're going camping and might not be home for awhile. I hug Katherine and she cries into my shoulder.
"Come back to us Kim, okay?" she asks and I nod into her shoulder.
"I'll try my very best." I promise. I hug Josh next and hug him tight. He, Katherine, and Avery are all the family I have left and I don't want to loose them.
"I love you Kim." Josh whispers in my ear. "Come back to us. I need my little sister, Katherine needs a sister, and Avery needs an aunty." he says.
"I will Joshy. And I love you too." I say as tears brim my eyes. I kneel down to Avery and she flings herself into my arms.
"Why can't I come camping with you and Brady?" she asks.
"It's going to be dangerous Avery." I say rubbing her back.
"Don't get hurt aunty!" she warns with sad eyes.
"I won't Avery. Remember I'm the big bad wolf." I say and she smiles chuckling.
"You're not bad but you are big." she says and I nod. She hugs me and I kiss her head.
"I'll come back Avery. And so will Brady, I promise he will." I promise. I will do everything to make sure she gets Brady back, even if it means my life.
"Thanks aunty." she says and lets go. I kiss and hug my family once more before finding Jared. He said goodbye to his parents before he came here and Matt said goodbye to Kayla then. Jared leads me outside and kisses me as soon as we're alone. I kiss back with all the passion I have. We're showing each other how much love we have for one another.
"Don't get hurt today Kim." Jared breaks away from me and looks into my eyes.
"I'll try not to Jared but I need to fight and protect my family." I say.
"Kim I can't lose you." he begs.
"I can't lose you too Jared. So does that mean you can't fight?" I ask and he groans.
"Just please be careful." he says.
"I will Jared, I promise." I say and he nods swooping in for another kiss.
"Jared, Kim." Sam calls and we head back inside for one more goodbye before we head into the forest to phase.
~Skip the battle cause we all know how it goes~
Well that wasn't much of a fight. No one got hurt but the future seeing leech says the head leeches are coming so we have to leave. Leech burns my nose and my head snaps to the rock we leap over to get into the battle. I snarl at the leech as does Leah. I go to jump on him but Jared's voice stops me.
"Don't you dare Kim!" Jared growls and I sigh.
"Leah don't!" the mind reading leech yells but she doesn't listen. She jumps in and battles against the newborn leech. He gets his arms around her neck and we all gasp.
"LEAH!" Seth and I yell. She whines and Jake jumps in. But he soon has the same problem as Leah. Bones crushing echo in our heightened hearing sending shivers down my spine. Sam and Paul jump in and finish the leech. We all hurry and phase back. I run over to Jake and find him phased back but withering in pain. Tears brim my eyes looking at my hurt pack brother.
"Jacob, you idiot, I had it!" Leah yells.
"Leah!" Sam yells and she shuts up.
"I need to set the bones before his accelerated healing kicks in." the doctor says. "It's already setting." he says.
"We need to get him out of here. We're not going to win a fight with the Volturi." the mind reading leech says.
"We'll take him back to Billy's." Sam says.
"I'll be there as soon as I can." doctor leech says.
"Stay strong Jake." Bella says as the guys gather around Jake to pick him up. Leah, Seth and I follow the guys to Billy's.
When the doctor gets to Billy's he gets right to work. Jake's screams fill the air and I wince in pain. Jared holds me in his chest and rocks me back and forth to calm me.
"He'll be alright." he whispers. All of the pack minus Collin, Brady and Matt are here, Emily, Rain, and Billy are here as well. Everyone knows we, minus Jake, are okay. Matt's with Kayla and Brady is with my family. Bella's truck pulls up and we all growl. Why is she here? She's engaged so she shouldn't care about Jake anymore.
"Hey." Bella says and then one of Jake's screams fill the air.
"It's been going on for awhile." Quil says.
"Doc's re-breaking his bones." Embry says.
"Why did he have to butt in? I could've taken that tick." Leah says.
"Give it a rest, Leah." Paul snaps. The door opens and all our heads snap to the doctor.
"The worst is over. He'll be all right." he says and we all sigh. That's good news. "I gave him some morphine, but his body temperature will burn it off soon. I'll come back to set up a drip." he says.
"Thank you." Billy says sticking his hand out and the leech shakes it. He turns to Bella and smiles.
"He's asking for you." he says and I roll my eyes. She heads inside and the leech leaves.
"Lets get home." Jared whispers and I nod tired from our long day.
"Everyone get a good rest tonight, you all did great today." Sam says and we nod. Most of us leave but Sam and Emily stay with Billy. Jared carries me to my house since I'm beyond exhausted. It's been a long day and I didn't even sleep last night since I was worried about the battle.
When we get home I find Katherine and Josh in the living room with Brady who has Avery asleep in his arms.
"Is Jake okay?" Brady asks.
"He'll be fine." Jared says and he nods.
"I should get going." Brady says and Katherine nods. Brady hands Avery over to Katherine and kisses her head. "See you guys tomorrow." he says and then heads out the front door. I sigh and Jared kisses my head.
"We're going to bed." Jared announces and my brother nods.
"Night." I yawn and Jared carries me up to my room. He places me on my bed and he scoots in next to me.
"Get some rest angel." Jared says kissing my head.
"Okay. Night Jare." I whisper and my eyes shut as sleep takes over me.
