Sorry for the long wait... I had a writer's block, and I was being semi-lazy...
This chapter's kinda short, and you can thank my writer block for that... but hey it's a chapter
Vera's P.O.V
I bit my lip and shook my head. The motion made my head hurt but I didn't care. I knew Jacob hated the Vampire, and will surly start a war over this. No; I wouldn't let him… He had just gotten hurt in a vampire war, and I won't allow it to happen again.
"Please; don't tell him" I whispered and Sam looked at me like I had asked him to marry Swan. I sighed and rolled my eyes. This didn't seem like an unreasonable request.
"I don't want Jacob to start a war over something so little" I explained but Sam's expression didn't change. He walked up to me and wiped away some blood that was dripping down my scalp.
"This" he said referring to the blood "Is not a little thing Vera. He could have killed you; and Jacob would have been destroyed as well" I knew this, and I knew it was more than a little thing, but I needed everyone to stay calm… I didn't need another war on my plate
"Sam; trust me he wouldn't have gotten close enough to kill me. Sia would have made sure of that." I mumbled; and he shook his head; looking shocked. I heard Sia chuckle
'Well as much as I would have liked the bloodsucker to kill you, you're right. I need you to survive… But maybe one day, dark souls like me won't need a wimpy light soul like you to lean on and I can cause destruction without fear of your interference' I rolled my eyes again and shook my head. Maybe the vampire hit me harder than I thought?
"Look; just don't tell Jacob" I asked when Sia laughter quieted down. He still looked uncomfortable as he sighed and ran his hand behind his neck, and started to pace some.
"I'm not sure that I can hide it from him; pack mind remember?" I internally groaned and wiped more blood from my face.
"We should at least get you cleaned up" He said and I sighed. He was right, I was going to need to tell Jacob about this after I get patched up; and he wasn't going to like it.
Jacob's P.O.V
I was woken from my sleep with a deep pain in the back of my skull; it was almost blinding. I instantly started to panic; I was asleep, so the only way I could be in pain was for Vera to be hurt. I tried to lift myself out of bed, wincing at the sharp pain in my right side.
"VERA" I yelled, I needed to know if she was alright. I stood up, leaning on my metal bedframe, and limped to the door. The bones were healing, but it would be a few days before I was back to normal.
"Jacob, lay back down!" Called my Vera; gently pushing on my chest. My eyes raked up and down her body. She seemed okay, but I saw red on her hands, and the smell of blood hit my nose. I grabbed her arm.
"Vera, what happened?" I asked and she tried to pull away, shaking her head. Even in my weakened and broken state; I was still physically stronger than her.
"Lay back down, and I'll tell you" Her voice held authority, and I complied. She helped me back into bed and sighed; sitting at the end of it.
"I hit a tree" she whispered and my face twisted in confusion. What the hell did she mean she 'hit a tree'?
"How" I asked and she shifted uncomfortably, and looked away. I saw her bit her lip and take a few deep breaths.
"Well…You have to promise to keep calm" She whispered and I found myself gritting my teeth and nodding my head in agreement.
"WellItrappedmycousininmyshadowandIbroughtherouttotalktoheranditwasgoingwelluntilthatbitchswanshowedupwithhervampireboyfriendandIwasso distractedwiththemIforgotaboutGenevieveandshetriedtoattackBellaandofcoursethevampirehadtogetinvoledandheaccidentallyranintomeandnotGenandIhitatree." She said this all in one quick breath and I had to listen really hard to understand what she was saying.
I replayed the jumble of words she just said-Trapped her cousin in a shadow, had a talk with her, Bella showed up, Genevieve attacked Bella, and Leech rammed Vera into a tr_WHAT THE HELL? Wait... I repeated what I thought I heard in my head again.
I started to shake, despite the pain in my side. He hurt my imprint; he was always talking shit about if something bad happened to Bella, he would kill me; my fault or not, and he actually laid his hands on my mate.
"Jacob; Stop" Vera commanded and placed her hands on my chest and started rub soothingly. If I was at full strength I would have phased; there was no doubt about it. I was going to destroy the bloodsucker; make him suffer for touching my Vera.
"Jacob, please don't; Just let it die" She whispered and the tremors I was trying to control started up again at full force. Sure, it hurt like hell, but I was so angry.
"I. Can't" I snarled through gritted teeth and I was even more close to phasing. I knew I needed to control myself; not only was Vera beside me, but I was in my house and I was still healing.
"If you do not calm down I will make you go to sleep, and I won't heal you." She hissed; but I could tell her threat of not healing me was empty. I looked at the pleading expression on her perfect face and tried to stop my shaking.
"Thank you; now hear me out; you just got hurt from a battle, and if you start another one… I would die" She sounded so sincere with that statement, it made me want to second guess killing the leech. I shook my head; I wanted him dead!
"Somn_" I place my large hand over her mouth before she could complete the spell and looked her right in the eyes. My tone was deathly serious, and I knew it was the alpha in me speaking.
"My pack is important to me, and I will do what it takes to make sure they are alright; you are not my pack, you are my mate; my imprint, and the vampire, the enemy we are sworn to kill has harmed you. I understand you feel the need to protect me, and the others; but the vampire needs to know its place. If I ever" I snarled that word in such an animalistic way she flinched from my grasp, but I held her tighter. "Ever, see, hear, or even smell a one of those leeches on you… They will die"
Vera's P.O.V
I couldn't believe it. This went better than I thought. I smiled as I shut the door to my beloved Jacob's room and walked down the hall to where Billy was. I nodded my head to him and he smiled in relief. I knew Sam had told Billy what happened, and I knew Billy was against another war.
"I gave him a healing potion and made him go to sleep" I said and he sighed, shaking his head.
"I don't know what we did to deserve you Veradisia" He whispered and I felt a warm blush creep into my cheeks.
"Actually it's the other way around… I don't deserve any of you guys, or the pack. I deserve to be six feet under" I murmured and Billy's hawk like eyes glared at me and he shook his head.
"No; don't ever say that, you are a blessing to my son and to everyone around you… Is this because of what Genevieve said?" His voice went from hard to inquisitive in a matter of seconds. I sighed
"It's nothing" I mumbled, and he gave me another hard stare. It looked like he was about to say something else when there was loud knock at the door. I looked at Billy and I saw him shrug and roll into the kitchen. I sighed
"I'll get it" I grumbled and he let out a seemingly forced laugh. I walked over and opened it to see a woman in her late teens, or very early twenties.
She had medium length straight black hair, and the normal Quileute complexion; which was something I lacked; and a thin graceful figure. The most shocking thing about her was her eyes though- she had light caramel eyes that were the same as Billy's late wife, Sarah.
She was wringing her hands and she looked nervous and rather lost… I heard her take a deep breath and rush out some shocking words
"Hello, I'm Jacob's sister… Rachel, is he alright?"
I really don't have much to say...
