Billy listened as the machined beeped and kept his best friend alive. Why had he been such a jerk to him? oh he remembered because his best friend wasn't tribe. And because his best friend didn't know about the supernatural world. They hadn't actually spoken since Jacob ran away, with Billy being angry at Bella and the Cullen's neither he nor Charlie had much to say. What was the point? Bella had chosen to die and become a vampire, and Billy would have to watch as his best friend fell apart and crumbled to pieces because he didn't know why his daughter suddenly died in a car wreck.

But now, things had changed. Now, Bella was not marrying Edward. Now, Jacob was home and the pack still had a broken imprint on their hands and none of them how to solve it. And what was with the interaction between Jared and Bella? From what Sam told him, everyone thought Jared had ran away and just needed space but now it seemed like he had been connecting with Bella swan instead. None it made sense.

"Chief?"

Billy broke out of his thoughts when he looked up to see Leah clearwater and colin little sea looking at him in agitation. Of course, they would be agitated the hospital smelled like the cold ones.

"Did Sam tell you what was going on?" Billy asked

"no sir. He just sent quil to tell us to come here and not to leave. What happened?" Collin asked "and is chief swan going to be ok?"

"Well. Raven Jared's little sister was in an accident that involved a shooting. And it turns out that chief swan was their too. Both of them were hurt but Charlie took the brunt of it. We still have no idea what exactly is wrong with him but to make matters worse Jared passed out and we have no idea why. I think its from the imprint. its taking all his energy away."

"uh huh and what else are you not telling us?" Leah sneered

"watch your tone young lady."

The order was strong, and Leah couldn't believe her ears. Did Billy black just …alpha order her?

"Colin stay here with Charlie. Leah come with me. We need to check on the Cameron's."

But before he fully left the room, Billy turned to Colin and said, "and don't let a Cullen in this room."

Another order!? Leah thought as their bodies and wolfs immediately submitted.

What was going on?

Old quill whipped his door open as soon as he heard the howl. From Emily's distraught phone call, it seemed like the cold ones harmed Bella and then Jared collapsed but it still had a few missing parts.

He moved the living room chair as Sam, quill and Paul cared an unconscious Jared in, Jacob followed behind with a comatose Bella in his arms.

Old quill gasped as he saw the dark bruises on her arms.

"quick lay Jared here on the floor! Jacob, put Bella in the chair, I'll look at her later!"

The first person he needed to take care of was Jared.

"JOY! BRING THE HERBS AND INCENSE!" he shouted as he Jared body began to convulse and sweat.

Joy rushed in with three bowls of herbs; Chamomile for anxiety, feverfew for fever and sweats and lastly ginkgo, it helped with fatigue and memory.

"mix them up! Paul, junior go outside and start a fire!" he said urgently

From the way Jared was starting to look, he didn't know how long the poor boy had.

Emily stirred the batter in desperation. She needed to do something. Too much was going on. Raven being shot and saved by Charlie swan, the vampires harming Bella and then leaving her unresponsive but what worried everyone the most was Jared's unconscious state. He just passed out and to Emily's worry, she knew Sam felt responsible. Sam felt like he should have alpha ordered him to stay on the reservation and kept a watchful eye on him, but he didn't, and the guilt and frustration were eating at him.

The front door opened as Marcy and Rachel entered. "Emily! Is everything ok!?Paul and embry told us to come over here!"

Emily turned, frustration etching her features.

"just help me cook this food and ill explain everything."

Od quill stood over Jared as the fire was going. Sam and Jacob stood next to him.

He sprinkled the mixture of herbs over the still sweating and convulsing wolf, he began to pray and chant, hoping the spirits would give him an answer.

Joy stood in the doorway of her kitchen as she watched the pale girl sit unmoving in the chair. It was scary, because the girl didn't even blink and it didn't look like she was breathing. Her arms were covered with black and white bruises and seemed to be getting worse.

"..um...young lady?" she called as she stepped closer

No answer.

Joy stepped closer.

"young lady? Can I get you anything?"

Still no answer.

The next move that joy made she would regret. She should have known better then touch a person covered in bruises.

"young lady?" she called again and this time she placed her hand on the girl's shoulder.

And right before her eyes the girl screamed and launched swung at joy.

Old quill didn't understand. The spirits were silent. They were speaking. At least not to him and just as he was about to speak, two screams were heard from inside the house.

At the same time however, Jared convulsions stopped and the boy on the ground instantly transformed I not a wolf and dashed past the group.

Leah sighed as the nurse fiddled with some wires.

"so is anyone going to tell us what happened to Charlie? I mean he is the police chief of forks"

The nurse sighed and said "well, the chief had gotten in between the shooter and a little girl, and the bullet went through the chief's stomach. So we had to do surgery to make his stomach smaller but then it turns out the chief has hemophilia, basically where he bleeds out too quick, so we had to call his daughter in for a trans fusion. Its why he's still in the ICU. He'll eventually wake up too soon."

Leah's eyes watered once the nurse left. Charlie swan had been her fathers' best friend and a big help when he died. Even now, He'd visit her family every Friday checking on them and simply being a constant presence. No one knew about it but her family and Leah honestly didn't mind. Matter of fact, she would have to call her mother and-

"um excuse me?" a deep voice called

Leah and Collin sharply turned to the voice and Leah's world was forever changed.

The dark eyes, long black hair. the muscles. He was tall and lean. All leah could see was him.

He was her future…her world. He was the one she had been waiting for.

Her imprint.
